    We love our engagement pictures!

    While searching for photographers we came across Paul and his abundance of amazing photos and excellent reviews. We decided to work with Paul for our engagement shoot and wedding photos. Our engagement photos came back quickly and we absolutely adore these photos. I tend to be very awkward in photos, but Paul made us feel relaxed and happy and we ended up with AMAZING photos! We can't wait to have him again as our photographer during our wedding in October! I would highly recommend having Paul as your photographer!

    Professional, Affordable, and Responsive

    Paul and his team are everything I had hoped for! Paul is detailed oriented, easy to communicate with, professional, and very kind! He delivered us over a thousand beautiful pictures in a little over a month!

    I had the pleasure of working with Todd on our wedding day. Before the wedding, he called me to make a game plan. Todd gave his own recommendations while also giving me the opportunity to take the lead. I did not go into my wedding day knowing what poses to do with my husband and where we wanted photos taken. Todd picked some perfect locations near our wedding venue that I would have never thought of! He also helped us create some cute poses that made our photos timeless! Our pictures really captured the beauty of our wedding venue!

    Overall, we really enjoyed working with Paul and Todd. The price for our wedding was very reasonable and affordable. I would highly recommend booking him for your wedding!

    Capturing the moments

    Paul was extremely professional and helpful throughout the process. Associate Michele was prompt and worked with me on all my requests. I cannot thank this team enough!

    Must-have Photographer!!

    We had the pleasure of booking Paul for our wedding 6/1/24 at Belhurst Castle in Geneva. From the very beginning, we knew we would be in good hands with Paul. We booked roughly a year in advance, and he provided detailed explanations of the various photo packages, his personal recommendations, and demonstrated flexibility by tailoring the experience to make it "ours."

    The week of the wedding, Paul truly showed his value, taking stress off of our plate. He was thorough in his preparation while always being considerate of our time. His familiarity with our venue made things easy for us as he already had recommendations for family photos, wedding party pictures, and even our first look!

    By the day of the wedding - he knew our parties as well as our direct family members by name. He directed the crowd while always remaining friendly and professional. He made sure ALL of our guests felt included throughout the night. He eased our day-of anxieties by providing comic relief at just the right time and had all of our guests laughing during photos. He considered the little things and made sure to capture moments of memories that we will treasure for life.

    One of the first comments we received from SEVERAL of our guests was "Where did you find your photographer?!" We truly couldn't have been happier with our experience and can't wait to see the final results! (final edits come 7-8 weeks post wedding)

    Great experience

    We were very happy with our wedding pictures. Derek was our day-off photographer and he took wonderful pictures. The only negative was that it took more than 5 weeks for us to get our pictures from the wedding. Otherwise, Paul was very responsive and we were thrilled with the end product.

    Engagement Photos with Sandra

    We just had our engagement photos done with Sandra from Paul Saunders Photography team and we couldn't be happier with the experience and the results! My fiance and I had never done a photo shoot before and Sandra made us feel at ease right away. She gave us just enough direction so we knew what to do and could be ourselves. She was also very flexible - we showed up to out first scheduled session and it immediately started to rain. She was able to reschedule us for the very next day. We were also very impressed with how fast we got the photos back - only two weeks! Now I can send our save-the-dates out earlier than I originally expected. We are looking forward to Sandra photographing out wedding! - C & F, Lake George, NY

    5-11-24 Backyard Wedding

    My husband and I found Paul Saunders Photography on the Knot and asked if he was available for our May 11th wedding. Paul was very prompt to respond and while he wasn't available, one of the photographers he works with, Geoff, was available. Paul kindly sent us portfolios of other weddings Geoff had photographed previously. My husband and I were happy with the photos and decided to hire Paul and Geoff to capture our special day.

    Paul was always responsive to emails and sent us the next step for everything leading up to the big day and after. I was never left chasing him down. Even after the day he has been wonderful to communicate with as we waited for our photos.

    Both my husband and I and our guests were impressed with Geoff. The photos were beautiful, and he was amazing at being there without drawing attention to himself. I found his style to be candid and documentary. He captured the details as he found them, which I appreciated. That doesn't mean he wasn't also excellent at giving us directions for the formal photos. Most importantly, at least to me, he was very calm the entire day and went with things as they happened. I had sent him as much information ahead of time and given him a photo list of everything I wanted. He did his best to cover everything I wanted and more. I keep getting compliments on how beautiful the photos are and how great he did. And I completely agree.

    I have been entirely happy with my experience using Paul and Geoff. I chose to do the wedding by the hour instead of one of the packages. But Paul has been great about sending all my options should I want to add in prints or an album. In 100% honesty, I plan to print an album but I am a photographer and an artist and want to do all that myself. We received some preview photos days after the wedding and the full collection about a month after the wedding.

    June 15, 2024

    It has been an absolute pleasure working with Michele from Paul Sanders Photography. Michele has an eye and vision for the most photogenic pictures; we had the opportunity to work with her for our engagement and wedding photos. During both experiences, Michele was relentless in looking for the best spots and floating ideas on capturing the best of every moment. Looking through the albums presented to us, it was impossible to discern any ‘favorites’ because we just simply loved them all! Thank you for being a part our journey and capturing moments that words simply cannot describe.

    Everyone should work with Paul!

    We took a gamble by hiring Paul just based on others reviews and we were not disappointed! Paul was always responsive during the contracting phase and reached out a few weeks before our event, just as he said he would. He honored the list of "formal" shots we wanted to make sure were included, but also captured candids like a pro. We were happily surprised with so many shots he took that we didn't even know about. He was invisible during the reception but managed to get all of the important parts of the night. We are happy to tell anyone to work with Paul. He is awesome!

    Wedding In Hunter, NY

    Paul could not have been more fantastic. Our wedding was small and relatively informal but Paul treated us like VIPs and was so professional. He called us before the wedding and asked about family dynamics and names of important people. This made him so prepared and personable on the day of the wedding. At one point my stepson turned to me and said "it's like the photographer is part of the wedding" that's how instrumental he was. He even made sure my dog had a comfy place to enjoy the show! Besides all of this, my photography is beautiful beyond my wildest dreams. I could not reccomend Paul Saunders Photography more highly.

    Engagement Photoshoot

    We had a great time working with Sandy, a member of Paul’s team, for our engagement photo shoot. She made us feel instantly comfortable and her creativity far exceeded my initial expectations of the location.

    Highly recommend! Incredible photographer and person!

    Hiring Paul as our wedding photographer was the best decision. He is incredibly talented and attentive. He remembered every family member’s name and was so personable - all while being an absolute joy to spend our day with. His work ethic is unparalleled. He is clearly dedicated to his work and to the bride/groom/family/guests. Beyond photos, he is so experienced and helpful with the planning process - his expertise is unmatched.

    He is a one of a kind gem - we are so lucky to have him as our photographer and would absolutely recommend him in the highest regard to anyone planning a wedding.

    Thank you for making our wedding day even better and exceeding our expectations!

    In Love with Our Wedding Photos!

    We just got back our wedding photos and I am so happy we chose Paul Saunders Photography! I talked to a bunch of photographers before choosing and found Paul to have the best portfolio and best value for our budget. Paul was unavailable for our date so paired us with his associate Jason who was excellent - fun, kept the stress down, listened to what we wanted and made the whole day everything we dreamed of! The communication between Paul and Jason leading up to the wedding and after the wedding was seamless and easy for us! We got preview photos about a week after the wedding and all of the (~1500 shots) a little over a month after). The only problem is I don't know how we are going to narrow down to shots for our album - but a problem I'm happy to have!! I would recommend Paul Saunders Photography for anyone who wants great photos for a great value and professionals who make your special day even better!

    Friendly, personal, and focused

    Sandra did the photographs for our wedding and we couldn’t have been in better hands. From the minute she arrived, Sandra addressed us all by name- demonstrating her investment in “us.” She was focused and confident and knew exactly what she wanted to capture. She had an eye for the most perfect shots.
    Once the celebration began I never even realized she was busy at work capturing beautiful candid pictures of everyone there as well as special moments like the first dance and the cake cutting. So far, we are LOVING our photos (from the sneak peek from Paul).
    You cannot possibly go wrong with Sandra. She is sweet, professional, and very talented. I highly recommend her and Paul Saunders photography as a whole.

    Paul Is Absolutely Amazing

    Paul has such a great personality and really brought ease to our special day. He knew how to get the best reactions, even from our family members that never smile at the camera. Easy guy to work with and made the day easy for me and my bride. Very much on top of our schedule and communicated very well with us before, during, and after our wedding and reception. He knew The Hiland up in Queensbury very well and knew the best places for photos. We will be recommending him to everyone we know who’s wedding planning.

    Please hire Paul as your wedding photographer!

    Our experience with Paul was phenomenal from start to finish. Paul is such a sweet, funny, and patient man. He had us laughing through the entire wedding, which eased the wedding jitters. He somehow memorized each of our family member’s names, as if he had known them for years. When we received the link to our photos, I was in awe. His work is absolutely outstanding. I cannot recommend Paul enough. Please hire Paul for your special day, I promise you won’t regret it!

    Paul was incredible!!

    My husband and I got married on 10-28-2023. Paul was recommended to us both by our venue and a personal friend of ours. Paul was not only punctual and organized, but our guests LOVED him; he made us all feel so at ease and our photos really reflected that. We highly recommend him if you're looking for high quality, affordable wedding photos!!

    Everything we could ask for in a wedding photographer, at a great price!

    We loved working with Paul Saunders Photography. Paul was incredibly responsive to all of our questions. While Paul was already photographing another wedding, we booked with Paul’s assistant, Veronica. We spoke to Veronica about a week before the wedding and were instantly impressed with her professionalism and sincerity. She helped us create a timeline for the wedding day and a list of family photos to take. Her photos turned out incredible and were a great mix of posed vs candid. She captured the day beautifully and we are so excited to always have her photos to look back on to remember the day.

    Book paul saunders photography now!

    We hired Paul Saunders photography for our wedding. We had Michele, his associate, as our photographer. I cannot say enough good things about her and the photos we got back. Michele knows what looks good and what doesn’t, she was very informative, and patient. The price is unbeatable for everything that you get. Paul was very responsive via email after the wedding and has been such an important part of our big day! We received our photos back in a timely manner. Would 10/10 recommend!

    Wonderful experience!

    It was absolutely lovely to work with Paul on our special day. He made everything so wonderful and took away so much stress with his kind, positive attitude and how organized he was.

    I don’t live locally so he was recommended by a vendor in the area and he lived up to the reputation that preceded him. His photos came back amazing and he made sure not to miss a thing.


    I would recommend Paul to anyone in need of a photographer for their special day or any event honestly. He was very responsive, helpful, and punctual. He knew exactly what to capture and just made the entire process stress free. Very happy with the service and our decision!

    Responsive, Reliable, Beautiful!

    From my first interactions with Paul via email leading up to our wedding, to meeting and working with our photographer Sheila for our wedding, there is nothing negative to say about this business. Everyone was so friendly and responsive. It was absolutely seamless to work with Paul. He even was able to help put together a day of timeline for us to ensure plenty of time for photos. Sheila was so calm and level headed on the day of our wedding. She was encouraging and creative, and we got so many beautiful photos. Absolutely wonderful experience all around!

    An incredible engagement session!

    My fiancé and I were referred to Paul from a co-worker of mine. After reaching out, Paul got right back to us and was extremely helpful during the planning process. Our engagement shoot with Michele was also an incredible experience. She truly went above and beyond to ensure our pictures came out beautifully. We couldn’t be happier with our choice to use Paul Saunders photography!
