  • Starts at $700
  • Serves Branford, CT

I am Becca Byrd, owner and founder of Love Byrd events. I started Love Byrd after 10+ years of personal and professional event planning. I have spent the last decade in New Haven working as an event planner for a large university as well as serving on governing boards of a variety of local non-profits. I have worked on conferences, fundraisers, concerts, parties, bar/bat mitzvahs, corporate meetings, weddings and much more. I have loved crafting a vision while simultaneously working on all of the tiny details to make that happen.

For our 2019 Wedding at The Lace Factory in Deep River, Connecticut, working with Love Byrd Events was a collaborative and thoughtful experience from start to finish. As a couple planning a wedding across the country, we couldn't be at the venue throughout the planning process. Love Byrd Events stepped in, meeting with our venue ahead of time, confidently coordinating the logistics of our wedding, managing our guest list, and handling any unexpected issues that arose. We were impressed by their reliable and creative approach, as well as their meticulous attention to detail. Becca's professionalism and expertise truly contributed to making our wedding day special and stress-free. We are so grateful for their hard work and highly recommend their services to any couples planning their special day, especially those coordinating from afar.

CC Garvie Photography

  • Photographer

  • Serves Branford, CT

Growing up near cameras, flashes and lenses, my father was a photographer for a newspaper, and I loved developing photos with him in his darkroom. For the last few years, I have launched CC Garvie Photography and could not be happier--I love it ! Every new project is another exciting adventure, as I continue to develop my vision. I love capturing those precious moments, so we can look back one day and say, "wow look at that, remember when we took that photo?" That is photography to me, "preservation". And once you look back at those memories--the warm and fuzzy feelings we get in our hearts--it is priceless. Let me do that for you.

My husband and I hired Cece for our September wedding and we could not have been happier with her services and her talent! Our photos came out beautiful! She was very communicative with us, professional, and so easy to work with. Honestly, if we ever need professional pictures down the road it will be with Cece.

We're married! We have a few kids too! We're creative, quirky, lovers of inspiration. Our favorite photos are the ones that show your true selves, the ones where you are caught off guard. We love the grand and cinematic, with attention to lighting. We'll help pose you, and guide you when it's right and let you be in the moment.

I don’t even know where to begin. To put it simply, Julianna and Noah are the BEST! They literally do it all - from wedding pep talks, jokes to keep you laughing through the stress of the day, managing our rather large family for photos, keeping everything fun and enjoyable, to creating insanely beautiful and unique photos. We couldn’t have asked for a better team to work with or for more incredible photos to remember our special day. We hope to get the chance to work with them again in the future!

David Apuzzo, Photography 

5.0

  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,500
  • Serves Branford, CT

David's career began when he switched majors from graphic design to photography in college. His style of photography is unique, taking advantage of natural light, insisting on quality, and bringing out the best in his subjects. Many years of experience have given him the ability to make the best of his surroundings and create a comfortable environment while managing a shoot.

We recently had the incredible opportunity to work with David as our wedding photographer, and our experience was nothing short of extraordinary. From our initial meeting, David demonstrated a deep understanding of our vision and was genuinely enthusiastic about capturing our special day. His helpfulness and guidance throughout the entire process were invaluable. David also did our engagement shoot, and the photos turned out stunning. He has a remarkable ability to capture the essence of the moment, and those initial photos only heightened our excitement for the wedding day. On the day of our wedding, David’s presence was a true blessing. He kept everyone calm and composed, which is no small feat on such an emotional day. His approach was patient and unhurried, allowing us to fully enjoy each moment without feeling rushed. David’s skill in directing group shots was impressive, ensuring everyone knew where to be and what to do, which made for smooth and efficient photo sessions. One of the things we appreciated most was David’s consideration for our comfort. He allowed us to take breaks when needed, maintaining a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere throughout the day. This thoughtful approach helped us stay refreshed and present, making the entire experience more memorable. The pictures David took were nothing short of breathtaking. Each photo beautifully captured the joy, love, and magic of our wedding day. Rachel, who assisted David, was equally fantastic. Her attention to detail and support throughout the day enhanced the overall experience and ensured everything went smoothly. In conclusion, we cannot recommend David highly enough. His and Rachel’s professionalism, talent, and warm personalities made our wedding day truly unforgettable. We are forever grateful for the incredible photos and the wonderful memories they captured for us. Thank you, David and Rachel, for your exceptional work and dedication.

Hi! I'm Alyssa and I've been a professional photographer for six years now. I graduated from Hallmark Institute of Photography in 2016 and have been working at my craft ever since. I love capturing fun family moments as well as capturing that moment at a wedding where you can feel the love. I love this job and I love all my clients!

Their work is incredibly detailed and they are truly knowledgeable about capturing all the special moments. They got right in there to make sure every picture was perfect, and worked so efficiently that we were able to quickly get all the shots we wanted and then go enjoy our night.

Dana Elaine Photography

  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves Branford, CT

Oh, hey! I’m Dana. I am a free-spirit with a true love for connection and raw emotion. I’ve been known to get caught up in the experience and have a passion for storytelling, so my photography is candid and emotive. I’m also a sucker for a gorgeous, natural backdrop so there’s nothing better than capturing an honest moment with a killer landscape. ​ When I don’t have a camera in my hand or a client on the therapy couch, I’m busy being a Mom to twins and wife to my partner, Brandi. You can also find me decorating our home or researching our next spontaneous adventure.

We have been using Dana for about 2 years now, and she has photographed myself and family from fall portraits to a surprise vow renewals and continuously leaves us speechless with every ‘unveiling’. Dana is easy to work with. Her sessions are effortless and honestly most times we all can’t stop laughing. Her eye for detail is spot on and her creativity in the moment is so much fun to be apart of. I highly recommend using Dana for your photography use because you will not be disappointed!

Hey, I’m Alex – a Connecticut-based wedding photographer passionate about capturing the authentic moments you’ll cherish forever. As a husband and father, I know how precious every memory is, and I bring that care to each wedding I photograph. Your big day is more than just an event; it’s a story of love and laughter. So, my goal is to capture it naturally, creating a fun, comfortable atmosphere that lets your true selves shine.

Where to even start!! Vaughn was such an amazing photographer and enhanced our wedding day more than we could have imagined. He took the time to get to know us and find out what we were looking for, and then took those ideas and helped create the magical memories we will have forever. Photos were such a stress free part of the day, and this was all because of the relationship Vaughn built with us prior to our wedding day. I could go on and on, but if you are looking for someone to help your vision come true, look no further!

Hello and thanks for stopping by! My professional career as a Connecticut wedding photographer started nearly 20 years ago after attending photography school in Vancouver. I returned home to Milford, CT in 2000, started the business, and have been capturing wedding stories ever since!

My husband and I were so lucky to have Kevin at our wedding. He is a delight to work with, came up with ideas for our portraits and was a pleasure to have around. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. We have only gotten a few photos back because we were only married 2 weeks ago, but I have no heistation in recomending him highly and without delay! He has a fresh, relaxed style. We were more interested in the "Money Shots" and candids than anything formal. Kevin did do some formal portait shots, so don't think that he won't if you want that, but we are really looking forward to our photos. He was wonderful to communicate with and could ot have been easier to work with. His prices are reasonable. You will be a lucky couple indeed if you can secure his services! Do not hesitate.

With a focus on film production since 2013, I've gained extensive experience photographing and filming videos for weddings and events of all types but there has always been something special about filming a wedding.

The A Cinematic Wedding team was so great to work with for our wedding this September! I first reached out to Johnny because I wanted a videographer that could provide a full length wedding film, and he was one of the only videographers I found in the area that offered that option at a reasonable price! He captured everything we wanted from our day, and paid special attention to me and my husband to make sure we were comfortable during the many hours of pictures and prep work throughout the day. I highly recommend A Cinematic Wedding for your wedding day!

Tyler Jordan Soucy Photography 
  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $6,500
  • Serves Branford, CT

Beautifully posed and produced images are great, but for me—especially when it comes to weddings—manufactured moments don’t carry the emotional heft that the occasion deserves. When I look back at photos from my life, it’s the candid moments—captured by and with close friends and family—that bring the memories and emotions flooding back, the ones that truly stick. That’s how I want your wedding photos to feel for the rest of your life. Starting out in street photography and behind-the-scenes work on film sets, I’ve always believed that the most significant moments a wedding photographer can capture are those untouched by their own influence.
