Chelsea Lavallee Photography

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $2,900
  • Serves Durham, CT

This little hobby that started back in 2015 has become an absolute dream come true!! Photographing weddings is my second favorite part of this job, with working alongside my husband to serve the most incredible couples being the first! I knew from the start that I wanted my business to be focused on creating an amazing wedding experience that caters to each couple in a unique and memorable way! Our focus throughout the entire process is to make things easy, stress-free, and most of all FUN! Outside of this business, we also train Ninja Warrior and love exploring throughout New England & the Northeast!

My wife and I had an absolutely traumatic photography search experience. Our original photographer never panned out, was shady, and never made it seem like they cared about the product. That's why when we decided to search for someone new and stumbled upon Chelsea, we knew the stars were aligning at the the correct time with this absolute blessing in disguise. From our first meeting, Chelsea listened to us, understood what we were coming from and where we wanted to go in terms of our photos. Her breathtaking bright and colorful photos were exactly what we were looking for in our April wedding. Despite meeting in person for the first time the day of our wedding, the lead up and communication day of made it feel like we were old friends seeing each other again. Both her and her husband/second shooter Ryan are top notch. They executed all the fun little quirks we wanted perfectly, including our groomsmen "NFL Entrance" photos, and private "First Touch". They stayed through most of the night and captured the entire reception, intros, dances, and party. We left for our honeymoon less than 2 days later, and by the time we landed, we already had 100 (!) photos as a sneak peek. The turnaround time was incredible. Chelsea prides herself on connecting with her clients, keeps her promises, and delivers exceptionally. We count our lucky stars we found Chelsea Lavallee Photography when we did. She made our day complete. Thank you Chelsea & Ryan!

Awarded Best of Zola
My husband and I absolutely adore Kristen. Trying to pick a photographer was an overwhelming decision for us due to the fact that there are so many different styles and we weren’t sure what we were looking for. But once we talked to Kristen on the phone we knew she was the perfect fit for us. Her energy over the phone was so infectious and made us excited to get in front of her camera. Our first time meeting her was at our engagement shoot. We decided to go with a sunrise beach session and Kristen showed up with energy and ready to capture our love. She was down to do any pose and was always hyping us up on how perfect our pictures were coming out. We had so much fun and were just able to relax and be ourselves. This all translated into the beautiful pictures we received from Kristen. From the time of our engagement shoot (July 2023) to our wedding (September 2024) Kristen was always checking in to see how we were doing and how excited she was to shoot our big day. It was so awesome to have constant check ins with her!! The day of our wedding (9/21/24) was so amazing thanks to Kristen. She was with us for majority of the day and always made sure to hype us all up and to make sure I knew I could take breaks from pictures at any time. All of our guests absolutely loved her as much as my husband and I do. 10/10 would recommend her for any photography services. She is amazing to work with, takes beautiful pictures, and is professional but also knows how to have a good time.

Chelsea was an absolute doll to work with!!! My husband & I got married in Oct 2022, and I had thought we found the perfect photographer... when my engagement photos came back i realized i made a huge mistake so i went onto a Facebook wedding group where I found Chelsea! She was so bubbly and sweet from the moment she said hello. I had her redo our engagement photos to see how I'd like and i absolutely LOVED and booked her immediately. She found a beautiful location, she is very knowledgeable about her angles (that was huge to me.. i'm a bigger gal), and her style was exactly what i was looking for. I look back on my wedding photos daily and am in awe, she captured the most memorable moments of my life and captured them so beautifully. 10/10 rating for her!!

Nicole York Photography was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding. From the very start, their communication was top-notch - they were always available via text, call, or email, and made the entire process incredibly easy. The quality of their work was simply wonderful, effortless, and perfect. Nicole even went above and beyond, carrying my train for me throughout the day since I didn't have any bridesmaids. She is truly a hard worker who goes out of her way to make you feel special on your big day. Nicole is a complete sweetheart, and I would recommend her photography services to anyone planning a wedding.

Cora Jane Photography

  • Classic style
  • Serves Durham, CT

My husband Andrew and I know that we are our best and most authentic selves when we’re supported and intentional with our time and each other - especially since the arrival of our daughter. Marriage teaches you a lot of things, and I truly believe that my marriage has taught me how to be a better friend, communicator, and business owner. I get excited about connecting with people, building friendships with my couples, and sharing their stories through imagery.

Awarded Best of Zola
I’ve worked with many different photographers, and in my opinion Cora is one of the best photographers in CT. Her work is exquisite and authentic. Cora and her assistant Jess (also incredible) captured intricate details, memorable moments, and unpredicted candids. My favorite candids of all was one of me dancing with my 98-year-old grandmother. Aside from her impeccable photography skills, Cora is a wonderful person. COVID-19 created a few plot twists for our July 2020 wedding. We had been planning our CT wedding from Colorado (where we reside) and had to jump every hurtle imaginable; state mandates, new venue restrictions, timeline adjustments, COVID tests. Despite it all, Cora was supportive, helpful, and accommodating. She genuinely takes an interest in getting to know her couples and has your best interest at heart. Our wedding day turned out to be better than anything we could have planned and I am so glad I hire Cora as our wedding photographer. I adore Cora and the friendship we built through wedding planning. We plan to hire her for future family formals as our family grows!

Just like you, I have felt awkward in front of the camera. I’ve had photos taken of me that I didn’t like. When you go on a session with me, I will not only make you feel comfortable, but I will make sure you look good! I will give you prompts to keep you moving and laughing. I’m sorry but there are some angles, and poses that are not flattering for everyone. Like, please don’t take a photo of me from below! Hello double chin! What I’m saying is, I got you!

Lacie was absolutely phenomenal to work with throughout the entire wedding planning process. From the moment we jumped on a phone call to see if they were a right fit, I knew they would be. Her enthusiasm, understanding, outgoing way that she relates to people is an energy that you want on your big day. Our engagement session was incredible, she moves so quickly but efficiently, as to ensure you get all the shots you want, but is very mindful of time. Our wedding day was COMPLETE because of Lacie. In addition to her positive attitude, she helped smooth the timeline of events during the day when exterior factors were impacting the photography, and problem solved so wonderfully on the spot. She stepped in to help in moments that were above and beyond what we hired her for, and for that I am truly grateful. Her photography style is versatile and beautiful, specifically catered to your preference. I can't imagine a better photographer for our wedding and we are so grateful!

Awarded Best of Zola
Margaret was better than I could’ve asked! Leading up to the day she was so easy to communicate with. She created a timeline for the day and any thoughts I had she took them into account and found a way to incorporate them into the plan. Truely felt like a team because of how kind and thoughtful she is. Get to the day, she was a calming presence for sure. She showed up with a smile on her face and seamlessly cued the bridesmaids and myself throughout. She was present but didn’t hover it was the perfect balance. Along with that she was my hype girl throughout it 3 Now let’s talk about the pictures, I’m not used to getting my picture taken and feel so uncomfortable being the center of attention but she tells you every detail you need, and if something doesn’t look right she’ll correct it gracefully in the moment. I felt like I got to enjoy my day without it feeling like a photoshoot. She delivered the pictures so fast!! A couple of my bridesmaids made comments about how fast the turnaround time was…and they were breathtaking!! Better than I ever could have imagined, I can’t stop looking at them. Not a moment was missed and due to her talent we have the most perfect picture to remind us of our special day for the rest of our lives. Do yourself a favor and book with her, worth every penny.

Our "sneak peak" included a little taste of each part of the day, which is way more than I was expecting, and we could not be more thankful for them.

I couldn't recommend them more, and will definitely be recommending them to all of my engaged friends! Thank you Rebecca and Ilia so much!!!

We had a lot of things pop up on our wedding day and Dani knew how to take charge and keep things going but she has a safe energy and made everyone in our group feel super comfortable. She was a great addition to our day! Not to mentioned was very accommodating to what we’ve wanted and our photos are actually pieces of ART. I cannot believe how amazing our photos turned out. I had a dream of having head turning wedding photos but I wasn’t confident I was capable of having them because I don’t know to pose or act in front of the camera and Dani made it happen for us. We are so happy with our photos and will be bugging Dani for years to come to continue to capture us.

Her artistic eye is top notch and she captured every moment and then some from our wedding. We’re so grateful we got to work with her and we’d do it all over again if we had the chance. You can’t go wrong working with her and you’re guaranteed a seamless wedding day and beautiful pictures

Jenn Plante Photography has been capturing beautiful moments since 2019. Jenn’s passion for photography began in high school and continues to drive her today. Her work focuses on fun, colorful, and joyful photos.

We loved working with Jenn for our engagement and wedding photos! We were a little nervous at first, especially as we've never really had professional photos taken, but Jenn made everything so easy and made us so comfortable. Overall, she is just an absolute professional and knows exactly what to do. She did a great job managing our timeline and shot list and provided very clear directions with group photos so everyone knew exactly what to do. The photos themselves came out so beautiful and were above what we had envisioned. She did an amazing job capturing our day, our friends and family, and was even so flexible on the day off when we wanted specific photos by the lake we didn't realize we wanted until then. She did an awesome job taking advantage of our venue and the scenery. We also got sneak peek photos back within 48 hours, which was so incredible to view while on our honeymoon! Highly recommend Jenn, we couldn't have had our wedding day without her!

Allison Barrett Photography specializes in wedding-day beauty in Newport, Rhode Island and all over New England. Couples can have their special day captured in beautiful imagery that tells the story of their day. This pro doesn't just snap images to reminisce upon, she creates a photography experience that becomes part of the memory. Working with the happy couple, wedding parties, and guests, Allison creates an album full of joy and genuine smiles. A helping hand on the day, this wedding-frequenter will also help keep everything on track throughout the day. Please visit my website if you are interested in scheduling a consultation!

My photographer was the vendor I cared most about - I love photos, and you are going to have these wedding photos capturing those once in a lifetime moments forever! Initially I was nervous to go with Allison because I did not know anybody personally who had used her, but I loved her photos and read lots of great reviews from people online. I went ahead and booked her anyways and it was the best decision I made for our wedding! Learn from me - trust the random people you don't know online (like me!) saying that she is AMAZING!!! We did an engagement shoot and she was super accommodating with changing dates last minute - the weather wasn't looking good for our scheduled date and she knew how badly I wanted sunset photos, so she went out of her way and offered me a spot that opened up for her on a different day last minute! I talked with her beforehand about my vision for the photos and she really listened, making my vision come to life and even surpassing what I had hoped. We absolutely loved our photos and used them for both our save-the-dates and guest book (not to mention our Christmas cards that year too!). Leading up to the wedding, Allison was on top of everything, making my life much less stressful as the big day got closer. She scheduled a phone meeting where we made a detailed outline of the day and made sure she had all the shots I wanted listed so that we wouldn't miss any in the chaos of the day. Did I say chaos of the day? On my wedding day, Allison was a true professional and made my experience not chaotic at all! She arrived early and got right to work on detail shots and coming up with ideas for getting ready photos. I had a large bridal party with lots of big personalities and lots of family for photos, but Allison coordinated everyone seamlessly and blended right in with her laid back and enthusiastic personality. She always asked us before trying to pull us away for couple photos and made sure to grab us at the perfect time for golden hour/sunset photos - my favorite! Truly couldn't have asked for more from her that day. At the end of the wedding night, she even sent me TWO sneak peak edited photos which was so exciting to see. Allison sent the rest of our sneak peak photos very shortly after the wedding and there were TONS - way more than I was expecting. And then our full album was also delivered super quickly thereafter. I can't tell you how many times my husband and I "OMG-ed", laughed, cried, and literally gasped while scrolling through our album for the first time. Allison captured every moment perfectly with so many natural and candid photos (while also getting the more standard, classic, posed shots too). There are so many photos that capture so many little moments between my husband and me throughout the day that I truly will cherish forever. I could not have asked for more from a photographer or from my photos. Book Allison! You will not regret it - trust this online stranger :)

When I'm not capturing beautiful moments, you'll find me savoring fine wine and crafting to my heart's contentment.

Awarded Best of Zola
I’m typically shy and not very photogenic, so I was extremely anxious about how our wedding photos would turn out. But after finding LaDonna through a Facebook ad, I immediately knew I wouldn’t have to worry if she was our photographer. She took the time to understand me and helped me find my confidence in front of the camera. By the wedding day, I felt completely at ease and able to focus on the moment with my husband rather than my insecurities in my head. LaDonna and the LT² team captured everything beautifully, balancing candid moments with fine art shots that truly tell our story. The photos are so authentic, and I’ll cherish these memories forever, along with the confidence I gained. Thank you, LaDonna, for an unforgettable experience! 3 7.27.24

Over the years, I’ve had the honor of photographing couples all over the country, from the coastlines of New England to the hills of California.

The photos are simply stunning—crystal clear, beautifully composed, and truly capture the essence of our special moments. Not to mention, he’s naturally funny, the guy was an absolute delight to work with, making the whole process effortless and enjoyable. From the initial planning to the final shots, he was professional, patient, and incredibly attentive to detail especially when we kissed haha!

Two Upper West Siders. Twenty blocks apart. How had we not crossed paths before? Or did we? Well, after finally matching on Hinge we made that happen and the rest is history! We have combined families and now as a family of 7 (three dogs, two cats) we have become an unstoppable force. We both share the same passion for photography, capturing the beauty all around us and making magic happen. Our dog Lucy, embodies love, kindness and poise. We couldn’t imagine naming our business after anyone but her. That’s how Love, Lucy Photography came to be.

Bethany and Raquel are a phenomenal photographer team and we loved working with them for our wedding. They were easy to work with both in preparation for the big day, and on the day itself. They have a special eye that captures moments perfectly, and ties them together to make you feel like you’re watching the day on film (yet it’s all ‘still’ photos). They are artists and masters of their craft. I’m honored and grateful we had the chance to work with both of them. In addition to all of the above, they delivered our photos in a very fast amount of time. We really appreciated that. We opted to purchase an album from them which was an investment we would make over and over again. While they let us help with the design, they truly know best. In my opinion you do not need a videographer if you invest in the right photographer. Bethany and Raquel are THOSE photographers.

I reside in Jersey City, New Jersey, serving New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, and beyond. I grew up surrounded by family photos. My parents had a professional photography business, Infinity Photography, back in the days of film. My friend asked me to do her senior portraits, so I started my photography business after my parent's business was closed for nearly 20 years. Fun fact, I chose "Grey" because I'm a nerd, and I love Jean Grey - she's my fave X-men. Also, my name is hard to spell, especially when you hear it. It's like "Leah" with a "Tuh."

Taliya gave us the absolute best wedding photography experience. She was extremely professional and quick to answer any questions at any point along the way. She made sure every detail was arranged before hand so there were 0 surprises along the way and day of. Not to mention that the photos turned out phenomenal. She was great at posing and framing to get the best shots and made sure that everything got pictured and captured from our special day. Would recommend 100%

Whether it is a family photoshoot or your wedding day, we will laugh, have fun, and create beautiful memories that will be captured for you to look back on!

Hiring Siobhan to shoot our engagement pictures and wedding was hands down the best decision we made. Siobhan is efficient, organized, friendly, and knows how to ease nerves and help you truly enjoy your day. After our initial call, I felt like I had known her for years, and knew she was the absolute best person to bring our wedding vision to life. And she without a doubt knocked it out of the park! The engagement shoot allowed us to get to know one another, her working style, and she made it fun! She posed us in a way that made us feel so comfortable, and each image turned out incredible. Doing this shoot before our wedding only further eased our nerves on the big day! On wedding day, she had Heather as her co-shooter, and both were a joy to work with. Siobhan came to the girls suite and immediately went to work, keeping us on time and really capturing the fun morning we were having. Once we got to the venue, we were on a pretty tight schedule, but you'd never know with how Siobhan and Heather were keeping things on track. We were able to get all of our family, wedding party, and portrait shots done early, so we could enjoy our full cocktail hour and evening. She didn't miss a beat and was there to capture any random pictures we wanted her to, as well as alllll of the candids to truly capture the love and fun of the evening. We received a TON of sneak peeks literally the next day, and every single one of them was incredible. She isn't just your photographer that day - she will be your friend too, ensuring you look and feel your best. If you are considering her for your wedding, it will be the best decision you will make!
