I feel so Lucky to have gotten connected to this photographer for my wedding. From the first phone call we had with him, we were confident that we would be well taken care of; he took the time and care to answer all of our questions in detail. CNY Photography went above and Beyond our expectations for our wedding. He arrived early, knew just what to do, put me at ease with his directions and knew just how to prompt us all to capture the most beautiful moments. His artistry showed in all of our photos and I don’t feel like we received a simple documentation of the day: our wedding album is a work of art. He somehow managed to get everything that I would have wanted without my even having time to explain what I wanted. We would have been lost without him. And what he was able to accomplish in a few short hours was breathtaking. I am extremely happy. Thank you CNY Photography for capturing the most lovely moments from our special day. More...

Connecting with Brant through BARK was a miracle. From our first conversation till the day of the wedding and beyond, Brant established an easy communication style built on timely responses, great listening skills, professional commitment and humor.
He is engaging and fun.
The day of the wedding our area, Fairport, N.Y. , was hit with a snowstorm. When our daughter and son in-law suggested to go ahead with the outdoor pictures as planned; Brant didn’t even flinch. He gathered his gear, braved the elements, and using his artistry talent, captured the most stunning and magical photographs ever! His skill behind the lens continued when he incorporated the historical beauty of The DeLand House as the backdrop for the remaining wedding photos. From the pre-ceremony photos of the bride and groom to the final shot of the night, Brant worked seamlessly to capture “just the right shot”.
If you are looking for a photographer who is a joy to work with and has an artistic eye for “those” shots you will cherish forever contact Brant. He loves being adventurous, spontaneous and candid; all the while maintaining a professional composure.
We give Brant a 100 star rating… ❤️

Brant was an amazing photographer and went above and beyond during our portrait session with our dog. He was very communicative and flexible, and always followed up in a timely manner. It was a really fun session; Brant both had creative ideas and suggestions and listened to our input and was game for trying things out. The results were really lovely, and we have family photos with our beloved dog to cherish forever. More...

He was very quick to respond to any questions I had both phone and text. He listened too all the concerns I had about photos with my family and them being so tall. He did a great job and was very upbeat and creative with his photo ideas. He was also very patient with the amount of people needed in certain photos. I loved how he had no issues taking photos of anything and everything. He was very quick with getting the photos back to me as well. As the bride of the wedding I didn't cry until I saw the photos he was able to capture of our special day. He was great and I will be recommending him to everyone I know in the future looking for professional photos. Great job, highly recommend More...
