Paul Saunders Photography

sionalism and quality exceeds any other photographer. i would recommend Paul Saunders again and again.

He was very patient in answering our (many) questions and was helpful in providing us with recommendations throughout the planning process (such as packages, how many photographers, how many hours, etc). Sandra served as our photographer on our wedding day and did an amazing job! She discussed with us beforehand to get to know us a bit and a sense of what style we were looking for in our wedding photos. Sandra was wonderful in capturing exactly what we were looking for, and she did a great job keeping the day moving. Most importantly, the photos are amazing! The hundreds of photos are absolutely beautiful, and we have received so many compliments on their work. We appreciate how Paul provides the photos through our own individual online shareable link, as well as sends flash drives with all the photos to save us the hassle of downloading them all. We cannot thank Paul and Sandra enough for capturing all the special moments of our wedding day, and we highly recommend Paul Saunders Photography!

y to work with. Great value.

We had a very intimate event with some weather hiccups and Paul was so easy going, positive and helpful. He was great with my shy guests and got them smiling and comfortable in front of the camera, so many kudos on this. I highly recommend Paul Saunders Photography. He is very talented, professional and you'll not regret having him on your wedding day team. Thanks for everything Paul!

So many of my friends and family members praised the work of being able to capture every feeling and emotion present during our wedding, and we all felt like we were reliving the day all over again. I would work with this photographer again in a heartbeat and highly recommend them to anyone. Thank you both again.

ave a different idea, he is completely flexible. He caught every moment of our wedding that we wanted and was such a pleasure to work with. He moved through big family photos quickly and efficiently which is exactly what we wanted. 100% would recommend and would use him again if I ever have a need to (I'm not in that area, but still, he was amazing)

it to see the rest of it.

ate, Paul himself could not attend but he sent along Rory Maher. Rory was a dream to work with - laid back and made us feel so comfortable throughout the day and evening. Right on schedule, we received our digital copies and thumb drives of all our photos and are just tickled pink... everything came out so beautifully. So friends in the Finger Lakes, Albany, and even Massachusetts - do not hesitate reaching out to Paul, he is one of a kind!

f the day!

ing along. We loved the way she used the light and worked with the venue background to create beautiful memories for us.

y recommend!

how they turned out! Michelle was great to work with on the day of the wedding too. She made everything seamless and stress free. If you’re on the fence about a photographer, you will not be disappointed with the team at Paul Saunders!

nd were very pleased with his creative work. Would hire him again in a heartbeat!

e able to get all the pictures we were hoping for. We just received are photos back and we couldn’t be more happier. It is going to be hard to choose which ones we want to print!

he photos and wouldn't had had it any other way!!! You will be super pleased with Paul Sander!!! Highly recommend!!!

hly suggest this company!

day!

ot so many great photos that I didnt expect! We recieved so many amazing family photos, but so many candids of us, and our guests as well. For the quality of photos and how many we recieved, his pricing is on point! I would recommend Paul Saunders to everyone

y, especially considering the amount of photos that were taken! The photo packages offered are affordable and you really get your money's worth with all the different options included. We truly can't thank them both enough for capturing our special day in such a beautiful manner and making the entire process easy!

ecommend you hire Paul as your photographer. From my first phone call with Paul I felt comfortable and at ease. I am very organized and OCD and Paul matched me. He arrived to the venue promptly and right off the bat did his thing in the best way possible. He knew what type of pictures to take, where, and what would look best with the lighting. I had a whole document of photos I wanted and I ended up putting it away and trusting Paul will capture everything I needed him to. And I truly believe he did! He's a professional but he is also such a kind, and funny person. He is SO easy to work with. My husband and I didn't do an engagement shoot and some say that's important to get the feeling of comfort on the wedding day. Paul made us feel comfortable without any weird or awkward poses - we didn't need the engagement shoot to feel comfortable with each other or Paul! Paul was not only a hit with us and our families but a huge hit with our friends! He captured pictures all day and night long of our friends dancing and posed pictures without feeling like he was 'in the way.' These are pictures not only my husband and our families will frame and have forever, but our friends too! I am so pleased with our decision. BOOK PAUL TODAY!!

tressful and more enjoyable- and it showed in the pictures! They came out beautifully. We also felt the package we received was great value. Highly recommend Paul Saunders

bsolute pleasure to work with Heather. She really went above and beyond and we couldn’t be more grateful.

even better spot! He was so kinda and funny, and made everyone feel at ease. He remembered all the little details that we talked about, including family member names, photos we wanted, etc. He is organized and attentive. He made sure to keep our timeline on track to make sure we got all the pictures we wanted while still being able to make it to most of our cocktail hour! Our family and friends are still talking about how awesome he was. The photos turned out BEAUTIFUL!!! We couldn’t be happier with our decision to hire Paul as our photographer.

e definitely made our wedding a spectacular day.

mall preview of photos and they are fabulous can't wait to see the full package.

worked with him. He is so responsive and helped look over our wedding shot list/timeline to make sure we were able to get everything we wanted captured. Our wedding photos are absolutely beautiful and we will treasure them forever! We ended up working with Michele on our wedding day, who was a delight to work with! She is definitely a season photographer! I especially appreciate how she made a great effort to snap pictures of our flower dogs - one of my dogs unexpectedly passed away after our wedding (which was also the last time I saw my dog) so I have all these special photos of my beloved family dog to cherish forever.

and we literally did not have to worry about a thing! He took care of it all. We have received our wedding pictures and are completely in love. If you want amazing pictures at a fair price, someone who is professional and experienced, book now!

made the whole experience fun and enjoyable. Highly recommend! Also, Paul's photo packages are extremely customizable so you aren't getting anything you don't want.

lk to. He answered all my questions and got back to me immediately. We actually had to postpone our wedding due to covid in 2021. I was so stressed when I had to reach out to venders to change the date and Paul was very reassuring that he would still be available for our day. The photos were stunning. Heather did a great job with posing us and capturing everything we wanted. I wish I could give 10 stars!!!! Thank you Paul and Heather!!!

anner. Overall a great experience and would recommend to anyone.

d not be happier with our he facilitated our wedding day. We received our pictures in the timeline he gave us and they were absolutely stunning. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

sed on his experience, which made taking all of our family, first look, and bridal party photos fast and enjoyable for everyone involved. We had many wedding guests tell us that they were impressed with Paul's attention to detail (for example, pausing before taking a photo to have someone turn their ring right side up or fix their sleeve to make the photo perfect). He also took many pictures throughout the day of not just us and the bridal party, but of other guests as well and made sure to capture many candid moments that you wouldn't expect a wedding photographer to focus on, but we are so glad he did! My husband and I highly recommend Paul Saunders!

g that fit our needs. Leading up to the wedding, he made sure to touch base on all the important points. Day of the wedding, he came prepared and kept things light, but on schedule, and his experienced nature helped ease my stress throughout the day. I was also floored by his ability to remember all the important individual's names. I was actually able to enjoy every moment of my wedding, while while Paul handled getting the beautiful photos. I am so happy with our photos and will cherish them forever. I truly can't say enough good things about Paul and highly recommend him to anyone looking for the perfect wedding photographer.

is NOT being skinned alive in pictures is a miracle worker, and she captured his true personality and joy so perfectly. She was fun to work with, had a great sense of humor, made us all feel at ease, and added so much joy to our wedding. All of our photos were natural, even the posed ones. She was also able to help one of my family members with autism feel at ease and make him comfortable enough to have quite a few great pictures of him taken... not an easy task! We loved sharing our celebration with her and are thrilled with the photos. A friend of mine in attendance is actually a professional photographer and he remarked on how impressive she was in getting every fantastic shot possible in an unobtrusive and spectacular way. I unreservedly and enthusiastically recommend this vendor if you are anywhere in the Northeast. BRAVO!

ing and was so very kind. Paul was awesome with taking care of things leading up to and after the event. The photos came out beautiful!

perience on this venue comforted us and we have no regrets with the choice we made. Completing the on-line paperwork was easy and Paul was prompt to get back to us with any questions. At our initial meeting, Paul was excited and prepared. He also was able to answer questions for us about the event that were not photography related which was extremely helpful. Planning a destination wedding on a boat has its challenges. At the event, Paul was prompt, professional and just fun to work with. We had some special requests that he was able to accommodate. Paul didn't make the whole event about formal pictures. Most of the time, I didn't even see him but he was there. In the end, we were provided a wonderful selection of photos via email (link to share) as well as on a flash drive for safe keeping within a month, as promised. Paul really captured all the special moments of this very special day that we can re-live through these photos.

r felt like he was a "salesperson." Everyone connected with Paul's personality on the day of the wedding and commented how efficient Paul was. We just received our photos and I am absolutely stunned how beautiful they are. I don't typically photograph well and can't say enough how wonderful the photos turned out.

them within a week! Thank you for your awesome work! I would highly recommend!

y easy person to deal with. He will reduce your stress levels for sure. The pictures speak for themselves. Prices are very reasonable as well. Hire Paul!

dding day just book Paul now!!!

we had him for. Paul was fun and quick, making sure to get ALL the desired photos but still giving us more than the expected time to return to our cocktail hour to actually enjoy our wedding. Every guest, bridal party member, and family member LOVED Paul. He is the perfect photographer and a must have for your wedding day!

nteract with our guests and made us feel very comfortable throughout the day. She was very timely, professional, and worked well with our team of vendors and staff on our wedding day. Paul has also been nothing short of amazing with his outreach to us and getting to know us as well through the process. We are incredibly happy we hired Paul Saunders and would not change anything about the work they have done so far for us! :)

decisions, even though they were not explicitly photography related. On our wedding day, Paul was efficient, charming, and so professional. Everyone loved Paul! He also surprised us by sending us all of our photos less than one week after our event, and they are incredible! Paul is both talented and very easy to work with, and I cannot recommend him highly enough.

He had a great personality and is also more budget-friendly than most photographers, without sacrificing quality!

our photographer!

hots and we received hundreds of photos . This was all within out budget. I highly recommend Paul!

photos and they're beautiful! He really knows what he's doing.

expectations and selected a wedding package. The day of the wedding Dan was there waiting for us for the first look and organized the whole thing, took candids and then also directed us a lot. We got so many amazing pictures back (honestly more than what I think was originally quoted) and it was SUCH A BREEZE to work with them and get in touch with any questions. Even after the wedding we have stayed in touch to do our album and Paul is soooo responsive. I should mention I got married at Belhurst Castle and they do work there a lot. Dan knew of a couple “secret spots” to take photos and those ones turned out so cool, some of my favorite from the night.

process in terms of scheduling, payment, and having our wedding-day plan ready to go. The pricing is very competitive and I truly believe there is no better photographer to hire for your wedding.

you and help you choose the right package.

te Covid causing us to reschedule our wedding 3 times. Paul also did a great job of relaxing everyone during pictures to make it a fun and easy experience. Paul was very professional and always reminded us of things we might miss when planning our big day (he even helped to recommend some other wedding vendors for us).

I would definitely recommend hiring Paul!

shots we had asked for and has a great personality. She made us feel very comfortable. The pictures came out STUNNING. We could not be any happier. We are so glad we chose to go with them and I'd recommend Samantha to anyone! Pricing was not bad at all and totally worth the photos we received.

h Paul was amazing he was very personable on the phone with both myself and my future husband. Of all of our vendors Paul made us both feel very at ease with everything - his relaxing personality made us feel assured that we had made the right decision in hiring him. We communicated mainly via email until the week before the wedding. The conversation was focused on the meeting time at the event, the names of the family, verification of samples of photo ideas we had, and the weather the day of the wedding (rainy). On the day of the wedding Paul arrived promptly and met with my husband and the groomsmen in the wedding. He took pictures of them and some of the decor from the venue. He then went up to meet with the bride in the bridal suite in the hotel for some additional pictures. The bridal party was still getting ready when he arrived to the room and pictures were taken in the room. Unfortunately, pictures were not done of the bridesmaids or maid of honor as previously had been requested in our conversations. There were a few other requests for pictures that were made prior to the wedding that were never done. During the wedding ceremony everything went as planned. Paul was moving throughout the room taking many pictures that we are eagerly awaiting to see how they turned out. After the ceremony, pictures had to be taken inside since the weather was not cooperating with pouring rain. Paul decided to have the pictures taken inside the lobby of the hotel as he felt that the lighting was best there. This proved to be not the best location for the pictures in our opinion as there was also a beauty pageant taking place in the hotel with alot of foot traffic. We were hoping that Paul would have noticed this and moved to a different location as this was very distracting. As stated before we also had some picture ideas that we had provided to Paul via email a month in advance that were not done. We completely understand the weather being a factor that nobody could control (as many ideas were outdoor pictures). But, with that being said we were hopeful for some creativity for the picture location other than the lobby. We also would have loved a few pictures in the rain as we have seen examples of not only on Paul's website but also from other couples we had known that were married on a rainy day. For the wedding reception we would have all positive feedback. Paul took numerous pictures and also took a picture of a group of our friends underneath our photo booth football field prop that we setup. We are once again looking forward to seeing this picture as it was a nice surprise that Paul took this photo for us! This review is not meant to be negative, the purpose is to objectively and honestly review our experience. We have seen per Paul's website that some couples have already received some previews of their photo's that were married on the same day as us. It is disappointing that we have not been offered this also, and have also not seen any of our pictures yet. We are hoping that this is just an oversight as obviously we are eager to see the photos from our special day. All in all we had a positive experience with Paul Saunders. Even with the obstacles on our wedding day we would still recommend him.

o funny and constantly taking pictures. When we received out pictures they were so perfect just the amount of pictures he was able to give us was amazing. I’m used to 500 when someone gets the pictures back but we had 1500. The amount we paid and what we got out of the package was an extreme bargain and also he tells you the prices upfront so there is no surprises with taxes or anything. I 100% would recommend getting him for your wedding I know ours wouldn’t have been nearly as perfect as it was without him.

was that he did not get a good photo of the dip in our first dance all you can see is my husbands back no faces and no dress. Even if you just google photos of dips EVERY single photo is from the front not the back! If he has simply asked us to do it again because he had missed it that would have been better.

he best pictures. Although I have not received my pictures yet, I am confident in his work. I can not thank you enough.

here, package info, flexible, what day of will look like etc. We didn't have to worry about anything!

family’s names, as well as any important details we had. We wanted to have time to be at our cocktail hour and Paul made sure that happened! Our family and bridal party also thought he was so great to work with. I can’t wait to see the beautiful photos he took!

e for a full year due to COVID. Paul’s associate Michele photographed our wedding and she was so professional, easy to work with, and incredibly talented. Michele worked with our DJ during the evening to ensure that the night went smoothly and all of our big moments were captured. We were sent a surprise sampling of our photos shortly after the wedding and they were STUNNING. After seeing the first sneak peeks we are even more excited to see the rest! Do not hesitate to book Paul Saunders Photography for your event!

have had and we received our photos in a timely manner- a week after the shoot! I would highly recommend this team.

and take as many pictures." From the beginning, Paul was professional, up-front, and easy to work with. His rates are extremely reasonable for the quality of his work. When it came to our wedding day, he was hilarious and fun to work with (which I think made our photos more authentic and certainly made us more relaxed), time conscientious so we could get to the party, and he seemed to be everywhere all at once. The post-production was great and right on time. I have absolutely no regrets about using Paul and I highly HIGHLY recommend his services to couples looking for a wedding photographer.

ly priced in comparison to many photographers I looked into. Michele got ahold of me a couple weeks before the wedding and hashed out her entire photo timeline with me. On the day, she was on site right on time, if not a little earlier and wasted no time getting to work. Post ceremony, the weather quickly turned rainy. We were able to sneak in our family and bridal party photos before the rain hit, but weren’t able to do many photos of just the two of us. Fortunately, Michele was creative in getting some great shots in the bridal suite with us and even a few night shots with the rain. We haven’t received every photo yet, but Paul did send over some preview shots and they were absolutely wonderful. From start to finish, Michele and Paul were both great to work with. I absolutely recommend them for your wedding photography team!

she was awesome. You couldn't ask for better. Paul and Heather were very responsive and professional. If you are one the fence about hiring Paul or Heather, look no further, you found your wedding photographers.

Heather arrived while we were still getting ready to get some before pictures, as well as pictures of my dress. I have been in plenty of weddings so I knew I wanted to get a majority of our photos done before the ceremony so we could enjoy happy hour. We finished all the pictures I wanted and then some with time to spare. I received some preview pictures less than a week after the event and love them all; I think I already found my favorite without seeing the rest! Thank you Heather and Paul for making our day even more special.

bly organized and also brought her sense of humor to keep my husband smiling through the 50 different family photos my extended family required. Would recommend her in a heartbeat!
