About this vendor

Crystal Herry Photography is a wedding, family, and newborn photographer located in Brewerton, New York. I serve couples in Syracuse, Rochester, Rome, Binghamton, Ithaca, and anywhere in between. I specialize in combining a contemporary photography style with photojournalism to create illustrative images. All images are edited by myself, and all album designs are done in-house.

Being present at your wedding is important. So are photographs, but not at the expense of the other. I work with my couples to establish a timeline for the day with the goal of having a relaxed, fun, and stress-free day. For this reason, I typically recommend full-day coverage but do offer hourly rates.

Experience

I've been photographing weddings since 2004. Crystal was raised on a horse farm in Rochester, New York. At the age of 11, she picked up her first camera to capture the horses. She then attended Rochester Institute of Technology for photography, graduating in 2004 with a bachelor's degree in fine arts with a focus on advertising and fashion, which has influenced her photography style.

Services Offered/ Included:

*All edited images for download from a personal online gallery

*Full-day coverage or Hourly

*Ability to add a second shooter

*Albums and a full line of products (prints, retouching, canvas, etc). However, I do give my couples a list of trusted sources from which to create their own.

Unbelievable Photography!

I cannot not say enough good things about Crystal. We used Crystal for both our engagement photos and our wedding photos. She is energetic and great with direction. She makes you feel comfortable instantly, which helps make your photos natural and fun. Her photography is crisp and colorful!! She captures all of the love, emotion, and detail perfectly. I highly recommend hiring Crystal for your wedding day!!

Stop searching. You're not going to find anyone better.

Crystal provides the perfect balance between offering photography expertise/shot ideas and giving couples the freedom and space to do what they want. She was darting from one task to the next all day, she regularly checked in with my wife and I on premeditated shots, and added her own creations to the gaps in the ideas we provided.

She provides total flexibility on photo albums. You won't feel an ounce of pressure to choose one package over the other. The online vault of photos (live for one year) is an amazing resource for sharing photos in the weeks and months after your event. She got our pictures in our online vault only 8 days after our wedding!

Thank you so much Crystal!

Crystal Herry is worth every penny!

Crystal was an absolute no brainer for our wedding photography and she was one of the easiest and best decisions we made. I would recommend Crystal to absolutely anyone for their photography needs. Our pictures were absolutely stunning and everyone has raved about the photos. She was also amazing to work with. She was super responsive, helped us feel comfortable with posing and taking pictures, and the results speak for themselves. She was incredible and I would have paid double just to work with her again for our wedding day!

Crystal is a photo genius

This is my third time working with Crystal, so I knew the quality to expect, but it was my turn as the bride this time and it made me truly appreciate everything she does! We got behind on our timeline the day of, but that didn’t stop crystal from getting all of the photos that we wanted! She works quickly and efficiently and has an eye for capturing truly amazing photos. We’re anxious to see how everything came out, but I know to expect nothing short of stunning!

So energetic and amazing to work with! My husband hates photos, but she was able to keep him smiling. Time flew by and she captured all of it so beautifully.

Crystal wasn't available on our wedding date, so we hired Stacey as our photographer and we weren't disappointed. She took over 1000 photos, capturing everything and in a beautiful way. She was friendly and patient throughout and flexible when we wanted several stops for photos before the ceremony. We are extremely happy with our photos and our album.

Crystal was amazing! I got married at Wolf Oak Acres in October of last year. Crystal was super helpful in forming my schedule and being flexible with all the details. Day of, she arrived while my girls and I were getting ready and took lots of pics. Once all dressed, she shuffled us along for more pictures and kept us on schedule! She was very mindful of time and worked to get a lot of great shots outdoors, despite the fact that it was raining. Our pictures turned out beautiful and couldn't be happier with how she captured our day! Looking forward to working with her to pull together our album! Although a tad pricey, we weren't willing to compromise our budget for subpar pictures, and glad we didn't! Highly recommend!

Crystal is just amazing! She took command of the day and kept everyone on schedule. She has the best energy and made the process of getting all of those photos painless and fun. She is such a professional and explained everything in great detail before booking. She was on time, actually early and ready to start the day. She stays with you all day which is so amazing, and it is so impressive that she never stops, and is always so pleasant. The entire wedding party, and our families thought she was just the best and so organized.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
