Black Connecticut wedding photographer, purveyor of the artistically-engineered photography experience. That's a crafty way of saying, I'm a computer nerd who's pretty good at photography and believes in great service! Digital image gallery, print rights, and beautiful, physical prints included with every package. My work focuses on telling my couples’ wedding day love stories through the pictures I capture. Artwork is the goal, whether it’s a highly-stylized posed photo or a moment where a loved one is emoting.

Terrence was an absolute joy to work with for our wedding photography. His easygoing and respectful communication style made us feel at ease through the entire process. On the big day, Terrence captured all those special moments with his creative eye and professional work - from the heartfelt exchanges at the altar to the entertaining dancefloor antics later that night. The final wedding album beautifully encapsulates the love and joy we felt. My mom couldn't stop raving about Terrence's incredible talent and tireless work ethic to document every important moment. We highly recommend Terrence Irving Photography for any couple looking to cherish the memories of their special day with stunning, creative photos that capture the essence of their love!

Hey, I'm Mary! It's nice to meet you. Summing up who I am in an "about me" is always difficult. What you must know: (1) I'm a nerd. If you want to talk video games, LOTR or Doctor Who, we HAVE to sit down for a bourbon or a coffee. (2) Yes, I will be out on that dance floor with you snapping away while joining in on the fun. And (3), while I'm a photographer first, supporting you during the planning process feels crucial to me - from building a timeline to having your back any way I can.

Mary was an absolute pleasure to work with on our wedding day. Her communication style is easy, clear, and responsive throughout the entire process. The quality of her work and value was exceptional - she captured all the important details in a comfortable and natural way that made us feel at ease. Additionally, Mary was incredibly responsive and organized, answering every question. She even visited our wedding venue with us in advance to scout out the best spots for photos making the day of that much smoother. We are thrilled with the final results and couldn't recommend Mary more highly. She truly made our wedding day so special and we couldn’t imagine the day without her there capturing all the special moments.

I have been a photographer for 8 years. Throughout my time as a photographer I’ve captured clothing, models, and memories.

Don’t be afraid to reach out to me and ask about my photography style, my editing style, or my favorite restaurant! I highly recommend scheduling a free consulting session!

Hi there! I’m Emma CotéEwers, your East Coast & Destination Wedding and Lifestyle Photographer! My work is a seamless blend of traditional heirloom portraiture, lively artistic shots, and a little ​photojournalism if the day calls for it. With a true-to-color, film-inspired approach, I strive to craft visuals that capture love, ​laughter, and those beautifully authentic moments that weave together the story of your ​wedding! I feel like these should include fun ​facts? Patsy Cline’s Walkin’ After Midnight is my favorite song and I am currently on my 8th ​nostalgic binge of Gilmore Girls (which might just be fueling my banter lately).

I cannot say enough good things about Emma - she is always flexible, knowledgeable, and shows up with the best energy to every event! When I wasn’t sure where I wanted to take bridals, she was happy to make suggestions based on the vibe I was going for - and I very much appreciated one less thing on my plate! She delivers high quality, beautiful photos every single time and is the artist behind so many of my most cherished memories! I would absolutely recommend Coté and Camera - you won’t regret it!

Storytelling by Tony & Olya

  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $4,200
  • Serves Branford, CT

We’ve stood in your shoes, and we know how important it is to capture a story full of meaning and heart. Our goal is to narrate the day as we see it, embracing every emotion and sentiment that unfolds. With over a decade of experience, we’ve told countless stories—sometimes we can predict the moments, and other times they surprise us. But we’re always excited to discover and capture the next amazing story.

Awarded Best of Zola
Olya and Tony are on a completely different level. It’s truly art when you watch someone love what they do. They are professionals and skilled craftsmen. For example, we originally planned to have our first look at a nearby park, but they suggested that we book a private area instead. Both my fiancé and I were skeptical and unsure if we should, since it required us to spend a little more. All I can say is that I’m glad we did. You can’t control the weather, and on the day of our wedding, it rained. Thanks to their advice, we have some of the best photos I’ve ever seen. During our first look, Tony directed me on where to stand, while Olya guided the bride. She fixed her dress when needed and noticed minor details most people would overlook. And don’t get me started on the actual wedding—Tony, like a magician, was able to capture key moments and genuine reactions. During out wedding both Tony and Olya directed us on how to stand, where we should place our hands and which way we should look. They communicated with us and coached us through each photo. Before the wedding they helped us plan a timeline and were quick to respond if we needed to make changes. The two of them are a blast to have around and the results are something else. I couldn’t be happier with how things turned out.

For as long as I can remember I have always loved to create. My passion for photography started when I was a teen. As I honed in on my craft I began to photograph on a more professional level right out of high school, but stepped away for academic pursuits. After completing both a bachelors and master's degree in Anthropology, I came full circle, determining that a career in doing something creative was where my heart lies. Whether it is your wedding, or any other special moment in your life, I cherish the opportunity to document it in a way that highlights the artistic elements, while still capturing an authenticness that is uniquely you.

Their communication style made planning easy, and they worked seamlessly in the background on our wedding day to get fantastic shots without ever being intrusive. The quality of Alyssa's work is excellent - the photos are timeless, classic, and thorough in documenting our wedding from start to finish. We absolutely loved having Alyssa there and can't recommend her highly enough! Her photography style results in gorgeous, meaningful images that we will treasure forever. We're so grateful we chose Alyssa Marie Photography to document our special day.

I shot my first wedding in 2004, and from that moment on, I was hooked! It's an honor to witness and capture such an important moment in the lives of my couples. Before specializing in weddings, I focused on fine art and night photography. I earned a BFA degree in studio art from the University of Notre Dame (Go Irish!), and a MFA degree in imaging arts/photography from Rochester Institute of Technology. I taught black and white, digital, alternative process and studio photography at the high school, university and adult education levels. I love both the planned events and the unintentional, quiet moments that make a wedding unique!

Kristin is amazing on so many levels. She is genuinely a sweet, kind person and has costumer services skills no other photographer can beat. Her photography is stunning from posed shots to family and friends interacting with each other. With her photos you will never forget how excited and happy you were on your special day. You will be surprised on how many photos she captures in that moment.

From her high school darkroom days, to full time wedding and family photography, Kelsie leaned into her passion of capturing couples’ stories as they unfold.

  • Serves Branford, CT

I learned photography 10+ years ago in the darkroom at my high school. From there, I was hooked. Fast-forward to being fresh out of college, in a new city, and needing new friends. I found an amazing group who also loved photography. We traveled abroad and across the country together, sharing our travel photos all over Instagram (which, had just become all the hype). That was all it took for my first couple to ask me to photograph their wedding. I'm now a full-time hybrid wedding photographer!

The best decision David and I made during our wedding planning was hiring Halie for our wedding photography. She is so amazing at what she does and so organized with it! Which is something we have in common, I am super Type-A so the relationship I built with Halie was top tier and it made the whole planning process/wedding day a breeze. For David and I, our Rhode Island wedding was a destination as we are from Maryland so this made things a bit more complex with scheduling and understanding the area. When planning our engagement shoot, Halie made perfect suggestions for different locations to satisfy the different vibes I wanted in our pictures. During the shoot, she put us at ease and helped pose us in different ways to get the perfect shot. She also captured family photos for my family and I while we were all in Rhode Island for wedding planning activities. This helped us have an even closer bond with Halie and she got to see some of the family dynamics. All of the photos were absolutely beautiful!!! Between our engagement shoot and our wedding, Halie stayed in constant communication with me and gave me so many good tips/suggestions/ideas throughout the process. She made us a custom photo timeline for the whole wedding day. This was so helpful and we used her photo timeline as our baseline when engaging with all of our other vendors to ensure they were all on the same schedule. Halie captured pictures of our rehearsal dinner and intimate private sailboat ride with our inner circle. It was so fun to have her there to capture all of our New England details that we had spent so much time planning. Once again, she nailed it and got so many great pictures of us and our families! If you are considering adding rehearsal coverage, this is your sign to do it!!! Now for the wedding day, she truly outdid herself! She came fully prepared to dive into all of the shots and was reassuring me when I realized we were running slightly behind schedule. She was like my director that day and I had complete trust in her for all of it. She remained calm, poised, professional throughout all of the wedding day chaos. All of our wedding party was so impressed by Halie's well thought out photography. When we received our sneak peeks, we were just in utter shock!! They were stunning and exactly what we were hoping for. Halie’s photography style is the perfect blend of romantic and timeless. David and I are forever grateful for the memories that Halie and her team captured on our wedding day. We truly cannot recommend Halie enough! She is amazing!

Working with Amy was a dream! She has such calm energy and was able to pivot quickly as rain interrupted our pre-wedding photos. She also managed to wrangle our family & friends group photos, even during cocktail hour! We had so much fun working with her. And the photos are stunning! Our sneak peek was perfect and we are looking forward to the rest. And we loved the unexpected tie to Montana even when getting married in Colorado!

I’m Krista - a hybrid luxury wedding photographer and mother of two. I am blessed with the opportunity to be a small part of my couple's stories at one of the most wonderful, delicate times in their lives!

Awarded Best of Zola
Krista was an absolute joy to work with! On our first introduction call, Krista provided a sample day-of-wedding timeline and we immediately knew she was the photographer we wanted to work with. Her attention to detail is impeccable and everything was thought about prior to the wedding which made the planning process and the wedding day run so smooth. Prior to the wedding, Krista took the time to get to know me and my husband which made taking pictures on the wedding day feel extremely comfortable and natural. On the wedding day, while taking pictures, we stayed on timeline and did not run late. Our wedding party and parents were so impressed with how we kept to our schedule while taking pictures. When we received our wedding photos a few weeks after the wedding, we could not stop looking at them! The lighting was perfect and the poses looked so natural. Krista and her partner did an amazing job. We highly recommend using Krista as a wedding photographer and my family will definitely be using her in the future for additional photography needs.

Hi! I'm Taylor a Georgia based Wedding photographer, mommy, and cheesecake lover. Obsessed with: Family, Naps, and good books. I’ve been keeping it real since 1997.

Throughout my 8 years in business, I have been lucky enough to photograph over 200 weddings throughout Georgia and the other southern states.

From Georgia With Love was the perfect choice for our wedding photography. Their communication style was clear, relaxed, and easy, which put us at ease throughout the entire process. The quality of their work was beyond words - they captured every special moment with such care and creativity. They were a calming presence on our wedding day, ever prepared and quick to lend a hand, even helping with hair and makeup in a pinch. Their posing suggestions were amazing and unique.

I photograph love because I believe in it. I don’t believe in it in the way that a little girl believes in ferries or unicorns, a hopeful “I think it is real” kind of a belief, I believe in its power. I believe that love is the most important emotion we will feel in this lifetime and I believe it has the greatest ability for good. I believe that each human on this earth should have the opportunity to feel deeply loved and to love another deeply themselves. I believe that love is something that should be treasured, cared for, and celebrated.

You must hire Allison for your wedding day! She is not only reliable, a positive ray of light, and will put her all into your wedding day but she is beyond talented. She creates timeless imagery with a focus on you, the couple. She recognizes the importance of capturing not only your natural love and the candid moments but also those loved ones around you. She does this all with a big smile because she is so genuinely happy to be there for you, with you. Do the right thing and hire Allison!

I’m a fun and easygoing photographer who values genuine connection and adventure. I love chatting and spending time with my couples in order to foster a comfortable environment ideal for capturing raw, authentic emotions. I strive to create unique experiences for my couples that help better tell your unique love story through a combination of digital and analog film formats.

My husband and I had a specific vision for our photos, and Sevi absolutely delivered. Her style is moody and vintage, and her attention to detail is amazing. From the beginning, Sevi was communicative and helpful. She provided a guide for wedding planning, photographed our engagement shoot beautifully, and even introduced us to her husband, Jeff, who officiated our wedding. The day of, she arrived with a second photographer and captured all the moments you want, to include candid ones we didn’t even think of. She provided a sneak peek in a few weeks, and the rest of the 800 photos in approximately 3 months. The wait was worth it as she went through each photo of the thousands she took and provided an album that perfectly curated our day. I couldn’t recommend Sevi more. Thanks, Sevi!

I love everything about photography - meeting new people, capturing raw emotions, being a part of special moments, giving images a crisp, timeless feel, and delivering memories that will be treasured forever. Each part is so, so special to me! Outside of photography, I love cheering on Husker football, traveling to new places, cuddling my cats, baking cookies, & decorating for holidays!

We contacted Laura right after our engagement to get information about her pricing. She was very quick to send us information and included everything we would need for the engagement pictures to the wedding. Our engagement picture day, Laura made sure we had fun and knew the exact spots to get the perfect picture. She was professional, but spunky and fun. On our wedding day, Laura took the pictures and Shayne was the videographer. They work absolutely flawless together and never missed a beat. If Laura was not able to be somewhere, Shayne was there with the video camera and pictures were taken from the video to add to our special day. They were both very accommodating to all of our changes/needs and went with the flow of the day to help eliminate any additional stress. We love our pictures and our video from our special day and are so thankful we were able to find Laura Elizabeth Photography to help us relive those moments.
