Seth has been a dream to work with! We had never worked with a professional photographer before, but we felt so comfortable with Seth after just a couple minutes. He was very accommodating and communicative throughout the process. Most importantly, we LOVE the photos! He did such an incredible job capturing all the special moments that day. When we finally had our big ceremony Seth was incredible! He was fantastic leading up to the wedding nailing down all the details with us and making sure everything we wanted captured that day was on his list. When it came time for family portraits he did a great job corralling everyone but still keeping it light hearted and fun. I can't recommend him enough!

I have no words. Seth was absolutely incredible! He made us feel comfortable, calm, and confident in front of the camera. I'm not usually a big fan of taking photos but working with Seth took so much of the worry off my shoulders and it shows. The pictures we received absolutely blew our minds. They are more beautiful than we could have ever imagined. They tell the story of our wedding day perfectly. They captured how much fun we had and all the little moments in between. He picked up on who my husband and I are as a couple and ran with it! Perfect isn't even the right word!! I HIGHLY recommend working with him!!

Seth Kaye is a phenomenal photographer and was absolutely a joy to work with. He is extremely professional, very detailed oriented, and a pleasure to have around. He had a nice calming presence on such a crazy hectic day! I received so many compliments from my guests on how nice he was as well as how amazing the pictures turned out! It’s so important to catch the moment and he was able to do that and more. Being the bride I didn’t get to see a lot of what was going on because how crazy the day is, and it was nice to look back on the pictures to see things I didn’t even know took place. I highly, highly recommend Seth. He’s a two in one. He has a great presence and his work is amazing! Hard to come by both!

Leah & Croix

Seth was wonderful to work with from the moment we first reached out to him. He took phenomenal engagement photos and wedding photos, and was so organized and professional with everything. He really listened to us about what we wanted and got all the shots we discussed at the wedding. At our engagement session and wedding, he made us feel so comfortable and was truly so easy to work with. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a wedding photographer!

He took the time to get to know us and our family, both personally and in regard to our professional expectations, which is evident in his high quality work. Seth has an exceptional ability to capture the most intimate moments of a wedding day without feeling like you are in front of camera. His minimal direction style allows you to truly relive the story and emotion in each picture as you view them in the days, months, and years after the wedding.

<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 18px;">"Seth Kaye had the incredibly difficult job of photographing another photographer&rsquo;s wedding, and he did it with style, grace, and professionalism. Seth was the captain on a large team of highly skilled creatives at our recent wedding, managing multiple photographers with the skill of a conductor, playing to everyone&rsquo;s strengths while making sure we never felt overwhelmed by the attention.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 18px;">He took time to chat with the bridal party, had the bride and groom laughing throughout the day, and was able to get beautiful images, despite the day being chilly and overcast. He was so committed to his vision that I saw him contort himself into inhuman positions to get the perfect shot. </span><span style="font-size: 18px;">Thank you for exceeding our expectations around every corner."</span></p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 18px;">Seth was unobtrusive in all his photos and was very true to his Photo-ninja title. Each image was beautifully framed and captured with an artistic eye. He was able to capture more than just pretty pictures&hellip; he captured the emotions of the moment with every image. He was able to capture beautiful, precious, fleeting moments and captured them so well. During our first viewing of the images, we were transported back to the moment and I&rsquo;m sure these images will always bring us back to that day. Seth was technically adept, having incredible skill at handling all lighting conditions. We have crisp and clear images of people&rsquo;s faces and movements from all types of lighting scenarios, from low-light green houses, dark interiors, well-lit indoors, bright sunny days, inside tents with bright backlighting, and cloudy overcast. We highly recommend Seth!"</span></p>

"I didn’t originally set out to be a wedding photographer. In fact, for the first 15 years of my career I intentionally avoided this path, instead telling stories as a freelance photojournalist. At the time, my issue with photographing weddings was what I saw as the formulaic nature of the field. Everyone was posed. Everything was over-scheduled.

This is not the way to capture real moments or authenticity, nor to evoke feeling when people see the photographs years later.

I had no interest in taking those kinds of uninspired pictures. I still don’t. But when the people in my friend group began to get married and wanted me to document their day, I decided to give it a try. Those early experiences ignited a spark that continues to this day.

My experience as a photojournalist brought out and honed my documentarian and storytelling nature. I’m skilled in the art of being in the right place at the right time, and I use this experience and the techniques I’ve learned to tell the story of a wedding day.

I finally accepted an offer to photograph a friend’s wedding, and it was more creative and fun than I anticipated. I discovered that you can take meaningful photographs at a wedding, without posing anyone, or pulling a couple away from the party.

I learned that a wedding is just like any other story. What it needs is a good storyteller."
