My love for photography began over a decade ago when a good friend lent me his camera. I quickly discovered my passion for capturing the beauty of candid moments and the world around me. Outside of photographing couples, I enjoy downhill mountain biking, traveling, nature & landscape photography, hiking, and playing guitar. I live in East Hampton, Connecticut with my beautiful wife (Meg), our two dogs (Tucker & Diamond), and cat (Grace).

Michael was so great to work with from our first contact until the end! Our wedding was 9/1/23 at Harkness Park-Eiola Mansion, Waterford CT. He was so good with our 3 year old son and also corralling our giant family for wedding day photos! He captured clean and beautiful photos for both our engagement session and our wedding day. He was even able to get my husband to smile and loosen up, which is not an easy task! He got our album back to us quickly! I would recommend him to anyone and will be keeping him in mind for future family sessions!

I am a photographer and storyteller. For as long as I can remember, I have been fascinated by stories and traditions. I am passionate about documenting real human connections and I love learning all the meanings behind details at weddings and celebrations. When I’m not photographing, I can be found spending time with family and friends, exploring new places, and craving tacos. I love meeting new people, making new friends, and connecting with my clients. I can’t wait to get to know you, so let’s talk!

I fell in love with Beth's portfolio immediately after browsing through 30+ photographer's websites. Her style is very natural, romantic, and full of attention to details. She's always communicative throughout the process. On our wedding day she really made us feel at ease and our photos are so genuine and fun! We planned a fun entrance that didn't completely go according to plan, but Beth stayed calm and helped make it happen. Her quick turn-around also way exceeded our expectations. Thank you so much Beth!

We cannot say enough great things about Angelica and her team! We are one of those awkward people that don't take many photos, but thanks to our engagement session and our wedding photos, along with Angelica's coaching, we looked great in our photos and always had a blast in our photo shoots! Our wedding and engagement photos are amazing. When we think we were feeling awkward, our photos just show us in-love and having fun.

Regina and her husband were absolutely amazing! I can't say enough how thankful I am that I chose them to do my wedding. Not only are they the sweetest people and so easy to work with, but my photos are absolutely stunning. I keep getting comments from all my family and friends about how beautiful the photos look. I already have some friends that are getting married ask about her because they loved the photos so much. Photos are important because they really capture the moments that you want to remember forever and I have had some friends that did not get great photos at their weddings. It is important to choose someone that is really going to capture the moments, take amazing pictures AND someone who makes you feel comfortable. They are the perfect mixture of professional and friendly. You have to choose Regina & her husband and I promise you will be SO thankful you did.

Rose Gold Visual - Videography

  • Videographer

  • Starts at $6,300
  • Serves Derby, CT

When i was young, my dream was to be a filmmaker and musician. The art of visual storytelling was captivating to me. When the right image, message, and music collide, it’s pure magic. After high school i moved across the country to pursue a music career. 4 albums, 13 countries, and 100’s of shows later i found myself wanting to be behind the camera, rather than in front. Filmmaking gave me the chance to express myself, while capturing once in a lifetime moments. I had once again fallen in love with storytelling. It’s never JUST a photo or video clip. It’s real people, real emotion, seen through a perspective that otherwise wouldn’t exist.

Jenny and Josh were everything we could dream of and then more! From the very first conversation, Jenny made me feel so comfortable. They are so professional and so talented. Their response time is fast and they answered every question I had. Our engagement photos and wedding photos are so beautiful. They take their time and make sure every single detail is perfect. Our wedding video absolute blew us away. Everyone we showed said they had never seen a wedding video quite like this before. They are, without a doubt, worth the investment.

Video exists in my life as an extension of everything I love about photography. Something drew me to it, and with the ever expanding video modes of my photo cameras, practice became commonplace. Being able to tell storying audibly as well as visually adds a level of depth that is hard to reach within photography. You can feel the story take you through a place in time. Moment capturing in all its beauty.

Awarded Best of Zola
I’m not sure if Alex knows this, but the first wedding I ever shot was with him and I was so nervous! Transitioning into weddings has not been easy but Alex was so kind and helpful. He never once made me feel inferior or uneducated (can’t say that for everyone I’ve worked with). I don’t care if you’re the best photographer in the world- if you’re an a**hole I don’t want to work with you. Looking at Alex’s portfolio, it’s obvious he’s a great photographer. More importantly, he’s relaxed, gentle and easygoing. Ive seen him pivot when the skies opened up and started downpouring 5 minutes before an outdoor ceremony was set to start and he never once panicked. Know that out of all the stressful things that can happen when planning and executing a wedding, photography won’t be one of them with Alex on your team. I look forward to working together again.

When I first started wedding photography, I made a goal of being more than just the photographer on your big day. I made it my goal to be your friend, someone you can crack inside jokes with, and someone who isn't afraid to get down + have fun at the reception (while still doing her job). I made it my goal to capture more than just photos, but an experience. Whether it’s high in the mountains, on a beach near the ocean, in a forest meadow - you deserve to get married however you want to & I want to capture it for you.

Lexi did a wonderful job capturing my husband and I’s wedding day! We couldn’t be more grateful for all the amazing photos she took for us. We will cherish them forever! Lexi is a very skilled photographer who pays close attention to detail. Her calm & caring personality was also very comforting for the both of us. Highly recommend L& L photography!

Photos of the intangible: from moments of stillness to bursts of joy. What does love look like? A client once told me that I captured things in their wedding photos that until then they had only ever felt. I saw this as the ultimate compliment. My goal in every session is to do just that: Turn an intangible feeling into a tangible image that will make your heart soar every time you see it. But what does love look like?

From the moment we connected with Brooke, we knew she would be the perfect photographer to capture our special day. Her communication style is fast, effective, and clear, putting us at ease every step of the way. The quality of Brooke's work is truly incredible - her natural, breathtaking photos effortlessly capture the emotions and beauty of our love. Brooke made us feel incredibly comfortable, especially as an LGBTQIA couple, and she was always prepared with creative pose ideas, constantly trying new things to get the perfect shot. Looking at our photos brings us right back to that moment in time and the wave of emotions we felt - Brooke's talent for naturally showcasing the beauty of our love is unparalleled. We are beyond thrilled with the photos from our wedding day and could not recommend Brooke Seminick Photography more highly.

I met Jamie while he was DJing at a venue in Manhattan many moons ago. I was immediately pleased with the music he chose and went up to the booth and we got to talking about music and art. He was so easy going and truly in tune with the beat of the venue. We kept in touch and I then went to several more of his venues where he was DJing with friends and also with my (now) husband. When we decided to get married and keep it really small our one must-have was excellent music because we love dancing but are not fans of standard wedding DJ music. I immediately contacted Jamie and on short notice he was able to schedule a meeting with us to discuss our needs. Jamie came prepared with a list of questions and helped us work through the different moods we wanted to set and organized the music choices. We gave him some ideas and he did the legwork of deciding what specific songs would lead into each of the unique parts of a wedding and reception (dancing, eating, more dancing, only the young people dancing, etc.). To this day my husband and I talk about how much fun we had at our wedding and how we were really able to make every piece of it ours - right down to the music that was not pulled off some Billboard chart but that truly reflected us and the people in our lives. In fact Jamie was so great the venue asked if he would be willing to come back and DJ some of their future events :)
