IVY LANE photography
Editorial curation with a documentary heart.
saratoga — new york — Worldwide
You've dreamt of this day. You've found the soul that belongs to yours, and you can't wait to begin a life together, starting with a celebration alongside the people who have shaped it.
From the carefully considered details and happy chaos, to the fleeting exchanges and little things no one thought to plan, I approach every image with an eye for composition and light, and a love of honesty and unexpected beauty in the everyday. The result is a collection that feels distinctly dynamic: an artful record of the people you love, the rich life you're building, and the seemingly ordinary pieces of your story that become your favorite parts.
Photographs that become artifacts of a life richly lived and rooted in love.
wedding and elopement photography for romantic couples who value both the ordinary moments of candid humanity and the curated editorial highlights of their wedding day-all worth framing.
Two things inform the way your day is documented: my background in design, which gives me a trained eye for visual storytelling, and motherhood, which has taught me how often the seemingly mundane moments become the ones you most wish you could return to. As a wife and Mama, I feel so blessed by this little life I've created, and I bring that same sentimentality, intention, and joy to documenting the small things that make up your story.
Ceaseless creative and determined dreamer

From the planning process all the way to the last song of the night, your experience will feel intentional, warm, and easygoing. Even if your timeline runs 15 minutes behind, you won't be rushed through the moments that matter or lose the photographs you were looking forward to just to catch up. With me behind the camera and at your side, you'll have a calming presence to guide you when you need direction, gather your people for a group photo, and step back when it's time to let things unfold naturally. And when the dance floor opens? You can expect me right there with you and your guests, probably showing off a few moves of my own.
MORE THAN A CAMERA IN THE ROOM.
Brittany also has an incredible creative eye. I never felt like I needed to worry about getting a particular shot because I trusted that she was seeing something even more beautiful than I could imagine. That trust allowed us to be present and enjoy our wedding day knowing she was capturing it so thoughtfully. She took the time to understand my vision for our wedding and our photos, and then brought it to life in ways that went above and beyond my expectations. Her work is beautiful, but the warmth, care, and creativity she brings to the experience are just as special. We’re so grateful she was part of our day and cannot recommend her enough!
"I trusted that she was seeing something even more beautiful than I could imagine."
She so clearly understood our vision for both our engagement shoot and our wedding day portraits. After our engagement shoot, she sent us the sweetest gift of one of our photos printed on a vinyl record cover, which was very on-brand for us. On the day of our wedding, she was calm, organized, and there for me. She took every direction I gave with no hesitation, anticipated our timeline needs with ease, and kept up with our wild energy all night. I specifically remember walking over to our first look with her. I was so nervous and truly so glad to have her there. She helped me stay grounded...On top of her presence throughout the day, the photos came out AMAZING!
"Working with Brittany for photos felt like a true collaboration."
Brittany was our photographer for our wedding this past September and exceeded all our expectations! Not only is she an excellent photographer, but she’s also warm and easy to work with. If you've never worked with a professional photographer before, she makes it feel effortless and captured so many beautiful, natural moments for us. On our big day, she felt like another friend in attendance. Our photos came out incredible and she captured so many (so many!). We love her eye for photography and unique documentary style, it's why we wanted her to capture our wedding. We'll remember this day forever, but can now relive it through her lens every time we look through our album! We couldn't be happier with our choice!

LET'S MAKE SURE WE'RE A MATCH.
Choosing your photographer is so personal. I want to hear about what you're planning and what matters the most to you. If you're local, I'm always up for a coffee date. Otherwise, let's schedule a discovery call.
