The whole crew of Segal Photo & Design were amazing to work with for our wedding and went above and beyond. It was great that we had Brandon for our engagement shoot as well, so we...
could get to know each other prior to the big day and figure out the best angles. Throughout the whole planning process, he would always respond quickly to questions, he was accommodating when scheduling meetings, and his turn around time was AMAZING. He is very thoughtful with his photos and thinks outside the box. He is very patient, flexible, and professional which made him a pleasure to work with. The whole team we had (including Zack and Ava) captured our wedding day perfectly and added a sense of calmness, yet fun, to the day. We would highly recommend Segal Photo & Design to anyone needing photography/videography! Thank you so much!
Brandon & Zack went above and beyond! They truly made our day so special and we are so grateful for them! They captured the most beautiful pictures — and made sure we were able to ...
see our sneak peek the next morning! Segal photography truly is the best!!
My husband and I cannot recommend Brandon Segal and his team enough! From our engagement photos to our wedding day, they exceeded every expectation
They captured every special mome...
nt and memory so beautifully, and the quality of their work is truly incredible. We were blown away not only by their talent, but by their professionalism, responsiveness, attention to detail, and genuine passion for what they do. From the very beginning, communication was seamless, and on our wedding day everything flowed so smoothly. They kept us on track, made us feel comfortable in front of the camera, and somehow managed to capture every important moment without ever feeling intrusive. His team, including the additional photographer and videographer, worked together effortlessly and helped document our day from every angle. One of our favorite things about working with him is his passion for sunset photography. You can tell how much he loves creating those magical golden-hour shots, and the photos he captured during sunset are some of our absolute favorites. His creativity and eye for detail truly shine through in every image. We were also incredibly impressed by how quickly our photos were delivered and how affordable Brandon is. Being able to relive our wedding day so soon after it happened was such a gift. Beyond his beautiful work, he is highly interactive on social media and genuinely invested in his clients, which makes the entire experience even more special. Choosing him was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. These are memories we will cherish for a lifetime, and we cannot thank him and his team enough for preserving them so perfectly. We will forever recommend him to anyone looking for an exceptional photographer and videography team.
Segal did our engagement photos and our wedding day photos. The turnaround time was extremely fast and he was very professional..
He’s easily reachable if there are any questions ...
or any sudden changes
Hands -down, the best photographer we have ever had. Not only was Brandon our wedding photographer , he was our maternity and Christmas business party photographer as well! You wil...
l not be disappointed!!
We hired Brandon for our wedding and it was honestly one of the easiest aspects of our wedding planning. He was helpful with all of his suggestions and flexible in his timing and s...
chedule. On the big day he had multiple photographers to follow both the grooms party and the brides party and managed to get great shots of all aspects of the ceremony and reception without getting in the way of the party. In followup meetings he managed to get all of the photos and videos back to us quickly and his communication and insight was extremely helpful in crafting our keepsakes and mementos exactly how we wanted them. In short, we can't recommend Brandon enough and would happily hire him and his team for any major events we would have in the future.
We could not have asked for a better photographer for our wedding! He photographed my sister’s wedding in 2022, and when we started planning our wedding he was our first call. My h...
usband and I are not keen on having our photos done in the slightest. Brandon made us feel comfortable and his calming personality helped us to feel less nervous about the day as a whole. He approached our day with flexibility and never made us feel rushed. We received our whole catalog a little over a month after the wedding and I have seen friends wait months upwards to a year for theirs. We are over the moon with how the photos came out and will cherish them forever. Thank you, Brandon!

Brandon and his team were an absolute dream to work with on our wedding day! He was so easy to keep in contact with and made our day the best it could possibly be. Brandon kept us ...
in track as well as the other vendors. He carried around a list of our pictures and made sure we got everything we wanted. Boy, did we get everything we wanted and MORE!!! The pictures could not have been more perfect!! We are still obsessing over the photos that he took, and it is very hard to decide on our favorites. Please, please, please consider Brandon and his team for your special day or occasion. You certainly will not regret it!!
Brandon's professionalism and easy-going personality made our photography session such a blast! We had engagement photos done around the Lake George area and Brandon was instrument...
al in helping us find the perfect spots for what we wanted. He even had the challenge of working with us around a seaplane for our backdrop on the lake in October... and he was not afraid to get his toes wet! Our photos turned out fantastic and it was just a special day for us. Thank you, Brandon!
Excellent communication and planning prior to the big day, flexible and accommodating when things didn’t go as planned. Our guests loved the candid reception and dance floor photos...

ely understood the assignment. It's been 6 years but I still look back on our wedding and engagement pictures and smile because I find new details all the time. I would highly recommend Brandon for anyone getting married in or around the Capital District.

Brandon did an amazing job with our engagement photos, and we couldn’t be happier with the results! Neither of us had much experience with professional photography, but he made the...
entire process comfortable and relaxed. Brandon was incredibly patient and offered just the right amount of direction without making anything feel forced. His eye for detail and ability to capture natural moments really came through in every shot. We’re excited to have him do our wedding next year and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a talented, down-to-earth photographer!
Update: Brandon absolutely blew it out of the park! The photos from our wedding are breathtaking and perfectly capture every emotion from the day. He went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly and that we felt completely at ease. We couldn’t imagine having anyone else document such an important moment in our lives!
Brandon was not only an incredible photographer, but in many ways he felt like our wedding planner support system. From the very beginning of our planning process, his guidance and...
recommendations made everything so much easier. He is beyond patient and truly committed to making your special day, just that, special. He isn’t doing it because he has to or to be a good business man. He is an authentically caring human who wants the best for his clients. Brandon is accommodating and captures the little moments. I couldn’t believe how many candids of sweet and special moments that would have been lost to time without his special eye and quick hand. Thank you, Segal Photo and Design for capturing our wedding day! ❤️ we appreciate you deeply!
Love, love, love his work!! He was great with timing, and excellent with my niece and nephews to get them to take pictures without feeling like he was taking their pictures. He was...
efficient and got our photos back so quick! My husband and I were expecting 3 or more weeks until we got our photos back (busy season, we figured it would take time to edit and compile all the photos), and he had our photos back to us in about 2 weeks! He even had a beautiful case for the usb of all our photos. The digital showcase of photos he had for us to share with our friends and family was an amazing touch and our family and friends loved seeing all the photos. An all around wonderful experience. We would use him again in a heartbeat and can’t express how grateful we are for the amazing work he did!
Brandon is the best of the best! His commitment and attention to detail are second to none. We booked him for our wedding and we couldn’t be happier! He finds the most unique and c...
reative ways to capture special moments. I’d happily recommend him to anyone and everyone.

Thank you so much Brandon!!!

ng shots from unexpected angles. What truly stood out was his impeccable timing during the sunset, capturing a breathtaking rainbow photo that perfectly encapsulated the magic of our day. Brandon's friendly and professional demeanor made the entire process enjoyable, and he was accommodating in customizing our package. We live out of state but held our wedding in Albany, NY, and communication with him was effortless. We highly recommend him to any couple seeking a talented and dedicated photographer for their special day.
Brandon was enthusiastic and easy to work with! He brought joy to the wedding planning process and talked with me multiple times before the wedding day. On the wedding day, he was ...
everywhere all at once capturing stunning and creative shots from all different angles we would not have thought of originally. He was able to pivot quickly when we were faced with rain all day. Really appreciate all of his efforts to capture our special day and also at an affordable price. Highly recommend working with Brandon!
Where to even start... From the moment we got to the venue, Brandon was incredibly helpful with everything from helping the groom fix his boutonniere to helping to leash up the pu...
ppies who were in our wedding. Brandon's attention to detail was above and beyond!! He was able to capture every moment of our wedding from us getting ready all the way to the closing dance. We haven't received the full photo set just yet, but Brandon has been releasing plenty of sneak peaks and they are amazing!! You will not regret choosing Brandon as your photographer, many of the guests were even commenting to us how attentive he was. One of the most important decisions you can make is the photographer, and we are thrilled we went with Brandon!
Brandon effortlessly captured our 9/8 wedding with the utmost kindness and professionalism! It is not easy wrangling 30-40 family members for group shots, let alone while it’s mons...
oon raining outside, but Brandon crushed it! I almost refused leaving the dance floor for what became my favorite shot of the night(he knew the sky was optimal)! If you’re looking for someone who understands capturing the moment without it seeming “posed”/awkward/“contrived”, then don’t sleep on hiring Brandon Segal for your big day!
Brandon was incredible to work with! He talked with us before our wedding to get an idea of how the day would go and exactly what we wanted captured. We really wanted to think outs...
ide of the box with our entire wedding and he was excited to be a part of that. He encouraged us to get on the row boat for some shots and to jump in the lake at sunset! During dessert, the ice cream man showed up. As our guests excitedly got in line, Brandon had the brilliant idea to ask the driver if we could get in the truck and serve the ice cream. Those photos are some of my favorite ones from the day! Brandon has a really creative eye and I couldn’t be more impressed and happy with his work! We will cherish these photos for life!!
We were very happy with Brandon. He has a very nice manor. His pictures are amazing. Very satisfied.
Brandon really made sure we got the pictures we wanted. The coloring, lighting and different pictures came out absolutely beautiful. His prices are extremely fair and the quality o...
