meet your photographer/videographer

I’m Juliette Zyg. I specialize in telling unique stories through photography and videography that allow you to look back and bask in the nostalgia of your best days.

THE START OF IT ALL

Just like most creatives, I used to steal my mom’s Nikon Point and Shoot camera to take photos of my pet chickens as a kid. Ok, maybe not all creatives start that way, but art has been a main force in my life for as long as I can remember — drawing, photography, painting, creating clay miniatures, writing.

Throughout middle school and high school, I was an official yearbook photographer (I had a badge) and made short films for assignments instead of writing papers (it worked 98% of the time).

By 17, I second shoot a wedding with my friend, Stephanie, and ended up getting wedding photography fever, which quickly shifted into wedding videography fever after filming my first wedding a year later.

Ever since then, I’ve been able to meet and celebrate the marriage of around 70 couples and their families all around New York State and create meaningful galleries and films documenting a momentous occasion in their lives.

It’s my favorite thing in the world to see a couple on their wedding day, enjoying themselves, having fun with their people, and soaking in the day. My goal is make sure you feel safe so you can feel all of the feels, and celebrate in the fullest, possible way.

“Juliette is the absolute best decision we made for our wedding day. Her calm, cool, and relatable personality made the planning so fun and easy. She brought such an upbeat and exciting energy to the day, I wanted her to be a guest instead of a vendor!”

MY PERSPECTIVE

My perspective of photography and videography changed when I got married. Instead of being behind the camera capturing details and snippets of people’s lives, we were the ones front and center,

Having this period of life documented was so important to me - the engagement photos, the videos of calling each other fiancés, and the buildup to the wedding day — I wanted a trail of disposable and candid photos, haphazard videos taken on phones, and drafts of our vows put in a little box, to fully transport us back for years to come.

My hope is that you, and your family, and your guests can be completely themselves around me as I document your day - letting tears fall, fully belly laughing, or telling terrible, knee-slapping puns.

It’s an incredibly wholesome thing to let people feel their feels fully, especially on a day like a wedding.
