About

Sawicki Studios, a husband and wife dup of contemporary wedding photographers in the Albany, New York area of Upstate NY, have been photographing weddings since 2007. They use their signature stylized flare sparingly to sprinkle in a little magic into their client's images while remaining authentic to them and their day- which is a mix of candid photojournalism (documentary style) with a good helping of fine art. Their goal is to simply be visual storytellers through their artistic vision with quality and expertise. With 18 years of experience, Chris and Jen have worked in almost every condition, and are well-versed in how to deal with them all. They are also very laid-back and are always calm & collected, which helps couples feel comfortable throughout the day and through every interaction. During formal photos, which they only spend a limited amount of time on unless otherwise necessary or desired by the couple, they aim to guide you as naturally as possible, so nothing feels (or looks!) forced or stiff. They provide guidance but are never obtrusive, aiming only to enhance your experience in a positive way!

Experience
Jen started as a children's portrait photographer in 2006 after two years of education and hands-on learning, and began photographing weddings in 2007. Jen has always focused on being the quiet observer who captures the natural moments, expressions and details of the day. Chris began as a Photoshop editor, but with his ability to experiment and achieve proficiency in photography, lighting, and editing, he quickly became a masterful photographer. His skills in post-processing can take the images to the next level.

Amazing Wife and Husband Team!

We absolutely loved working with Chris and Jen - from the first call through the engagement shoot and to the final wedding day we had a great experience. My husband normally is very uncomfortable with getting his photo taken but Chris and Jen's calm and easy-going demeanor made all the difference on our wedding day. Our favorite part was at the end of the night when we received surprise Polaroid photos from moments throughout the day that we were able to take home that night!

Amazing! Must hire for wedding

We hired Chris & Jen Sawicki for our engagement and wedding sessions, and let me say, they are one of the best photographers you will find in the Capital Region area!! My now-husband and I are beyond happy and grateful to have had the Sawicki team on our side for one of the most important and special events in our lives! Chris & Jen are personable, professional and at the same time low-key, so you won't even notice they're there. They have a keen eye to details, and their editing techniques will blow you out of the water when you see your final products. We couldn't be more thrilled to have had Sawicki Photography with us. Chris & Jen, thank you for everything! We cannot wait to see our final photos, but we're all (including family & friends) blown away by just the blog! Thank you for everything!! :)

Breathtaking photos!

Chris and his wife, Jen are simply amazing. They do the best work in the area, if not in New York. He does whatever he can to get the best shots, whether it be jumping on random pieces of furniture or standing in the rain to get breath-taking photographs. They will not disappoint you. His photos go above and beyond your expectation. He also worked with my crazy idea as my first look in a blow up dinosaur costume, which he even made THAT look amazing.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

Chris Sawicki is a really amazing photographer, and a really great guy to work with. I have worked weddings with Chris, he was very professional and easy to work with. He got all the shots - and even took the time to do some really innovative and different shots using different lighting. He did a great job.
