As a wedding photographer based in Upstate NY, I’ve photographed weddings at many locations and have a few favorites that I’d recommend to couples getting married in the beautiful Upstate New York.

Whether you’re from Upstate, met your significant other here, or want a meaningful wedding weekend for you and your guests, Upstate NY boasts mountains, rolling hills, lakes, historic estates, and more, offering an unforgettable wedding experience. These stunning venues are nestled in the Finger Lakes Region, the perfect destination if you’re coming from NYC, Boston, or Philadelphia, and looking for scenic beauty and a more relaxed, intimate, and laid-back setting for your wedding.

If you’re engaged (congratulations!) and planning your wedding I know it can be overwhelming to find the perfect venue for such an important day. I hope this list of must-see venues helps ease the planning process and I would love to photograph you at one of these venues! Reach out to us today and we’d love to set up a discovery call.
