Albany NY & Upstate NY
Wedding & Portrait Photographer
The Experience, Thoughtfully Designed
Hello, I'm Rafael,
But you can call me Raf!
With a background in filmmaking and fashion, I approach weddings with a storyteller’s eye. But my heart for albums comes from home. In my family, the pieces that endured over the last 100 years were the worn photo albums, the ones filled with faces, milestones, and moments that carried our stories forward.
That’s why I photograph every wedding with the finished album in mind, creating timeless, tangible heirlooms meant to be held for generations.

WEDDINGS & PORTRAITS
"Working with Rafael was an absolute dream. From the moment I stepped in front of his camera, he made me feel completely comfortable and at ease. His editing style is minimal yet magical - I still looked like myself, but with a touch of ethereal beauty that made me feel like a fairy queen. Rafael has a knack for capturing the most stunning natural lighting and creating incredible sunflares that added an extra touch of magic to every shot. I couldn't recommend him enough - working with Raf was an absolute pleasure and the results were truly breathtaking"

"I had been in the area at the time and wanted photos for my portfolio. He had taken me to all sorts of different locations that he had experience shooting at, for example the Museum of Ice Cream, as well as other sights that had good backgrounds and lighting. We had shot from earlier during the day and ended later in the evening. Which was very exhausting for both of us, but even more for Raf. After a few days after the shoot, Raf had quickly edited the photos and they turned out amazing! All of the photos were very clear and the lighting was perfect. Overall the best photoshoot experience I’ve ever had."
-Carlin Horn
"I recently had the pleasure of working with Rafael Gonzalez for a photo shoot, and I couldn't be more thrilled with the results! Rafael's professionalism and attention to detail truly impressed me. Not only did he capture stunning shots, but he also made the entire experience enjoyable and effortless. I highly recommend Rafael to anyone looking for top-notch photography expertise. Looking forward to our next shoot together!"

"I had an excellent time working with Rafael. He gave good and easy-to-understand suggestions throughout the shoot as we moved through different locations, and although I didn't have any experience with modeling, I felt at ease the whole time and enjoyed myself. The photos came out lovely and natural, and I really liked them."
-Megan & Steven
"Shooting with Kosinski Photography was a dream! He made it so easy for us and we felt so comfortable in front of the camera because of Raf’s direction! Even when we felt silly doing a pose it was fun because we would laugh about it and then photo would come out better than I could have ever imagined. Definitely recommend shooting with this company, because the photos came out incredibly and it was such a fun experience!! Can’t wait to frame our new photos!"
-Ryan Lin
"Had an amazing experience working with Rafael! He not only captured incredible shots but also took the time to make sure we got exactly what I envisioned. His attention to detail, professionalism, and efficiency in post-production were top-notch—I got my final photos back so fast, and they looked stunning! Highly recommend him to anyone looking for a talented and dedicated photographer."
