About

Ken Clough Photography is a wedding photography and videography studio based in Albany, New York, serving couples throughout the Capital Region and Upstate New York.

Ken approaches every wedding as a story — one that deserves to be told with honesty, artistry, and care. His work blends documentary moments with thoughtfully crafted portraits, creating images that feel both cinematic and deeply personal.

Known for his calm presence and intentional direction, Ken helps couples feel comfortable in front of the camera so their photographs reflect who they truly are. He believes great wedding photography is not just about capturing a day — it’s about preserving emotion, connection, and the small in-between moments that become lasting memories.

In addition to photographing weddings, Ken hosts the podcast In Focus, where he explores creativity and the emotional side of photography. His goal is simple: to create images that feel like memory and stand the test of time.

Exceptional Wedding Pictures and Video

Ken is very professional and helped guide us through one of the most important components of our wedding day. We have many beautiful and timeless photos to cherish forever. Ken designed three beautiful, high quality wedding albums that are exceptional. We also added on videography to our wedding package and we are so happy with the videos and teaser film. We have received many compliments about our engagement and wedding pictures, as well as our videos. Thank you Ken for capturing our day perfectly!

Ken captured our wedding day beautifully

We couldn’t be happier that we chose Ken as our wedding photographer! From day one, he was responsive, professional, and genuinely invested in making sure we got exactly what we wanted.

Ken made the entire experience feel effortless. He followed our planning form, took inspiration from our Pinterest board, and made sure we got every single shot that was important to us. He was so organized and calm, and made us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera (which is saying a lot!).

On the day of the wedding, he worked seamlessly with everyone and captured the most beautiful mix of portraits, candid moments, and all the little in-between memories that made the day so special. His eye for detail and timing is incredible, and the final gallery is everything we hoped for and more.

Ken truly went above and beyond, and we’re so grateful for his talent, kindness, and professionalism. We’ll cherish these photos for a lifetime.

10/10 would always recommend

Ken was fantastic! From the very first meeting until the last, he made our dreams and incisions come true! He even made it to the golf course at 7:30AM the day of the wedding to capture my groom and my father tee off at golf! Ken is the best photographer out there!!

Outstanding photographer

I had searched high and low to find the perfect photographer for our special day. It wasn't until I met Ken that I realized he was the perfect one to help commemorate this very special occasion. Ken was personable, kind, caring, understanding, and most of all had a great personality. He was great to work with and was able to get all the photos we wanted. I never had to worry if all the photos that I had requested were getting taken as Ken was on top of everything. If you need a photographer for your wedding, I highly recommend Ken from Ken's Portrait Photography. Thank you Ken and I look forward to future family photo shots with you.

Wonderful!

Ken was fantastic! He’s very easygoing and a great communicator. With the pandemic we had to make some changes to our plans and Ken was great at adapting to what we wanted to do.

The engagement shoot was fun and Ken made sure we got a lot of excellent photos. He was super helpful in getting to the best shots.

For the wedding, Ken was really good at helping us stay calm and be in the right places. His photos were everything we wanted and more.

We can’t recommend Ken enough for how great a job he did. If you’re looking for a photographer that makes you feel comfortable, he’s the best choice!

Amazing experience!

Ken deserves all the praise in the world for the service he provides. He made the process smooth and easy and was great to work with. As a first time bride I had no idea what I wanted and how everything was suppose to go and he worked with me and put me at ease. His work was spectacular and the pictures he took were amazing! I would recommend him to anyone and everyone that wants to work with someone with amazing talent and great professionalism.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
