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.

HELLO! My name is Sarah Barbagallo. I am a 27-year-old wife and mama to 2 sons. I have been behind the lens for as long as I can remember. Photography started out as a hobby for me, but the last 5 years has become my full-time business and I haven't looked back since!​

Sarah B Photography was the perfect choice for our wedding photographer. Her communication was fast, clear, and accommodating, especially when we changed our day of wedding and location. On the day of our small backyard wedding, she made the picture taking process fun and easy for us - a huge relief since we don't really enjoy having our photos taken. Her professional and natural style captured the magic of our simple celebration, and the final photos were absolutely beautiful and full of joy. Sarah's laid-back and go-with-the-flow approach also helped keep the day stress-free. We couldn't be happier with the value and quality of her work, and highly recommend Sarah B Photography to any couple looking for a talented and fun wedding photographer.

We’re Erin and Peter and we started this company in 2012. Since then we’ve quit our jobs and photographed 275+ weddings all over the east coast (but we’re willing to travel anywhere!) and we couldn’t love it more! Our photography style is cozy, natural and organic, and we love to focus on the in-between moments and the genuine emotions. We don’t pose people but instead direct them to do things that will bring out their real personalities and reactions which help us to get the most authentic photos.

Erin and Peter are absolutely amazing to work with! They are such a sweet & fun couple who you just enjoy being around. They are so easy to get along with and know exactly what they’re doing- we trusted them with our day and they exceeded expectations! They make you feel comfortable and at ease on a potentially stressful day and work with you to make sure you get everything out of the day that you’re looking for. Everyone in our bridal party complimented how efficient and smooth our pictures were at the wedding. Not to mention the pictures are GORGEOUS- they are so talented at capturing natural moments, never forcing stiff or awkward posing. Would recommend them to anyone getting married!!!

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.

Having Mary as our wedding photographer was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From our first phone call to engagement photos to the day of she was so helpful, warm, and organized; she made getting the photos we wanted and being where we needed to be at the right time feel so easy and fun. And the photos speak for themselves; we absolutely love them!!

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).

We had the pleasure of working with Emma for our engagement photos, my bridal portraits, bridal shower and our rehearsal dinner. We couldn't be happier with the results. From the very beginning, Emma was incredibly professional, attentive, and truly passionate about capturing the essence of our love story. For our engagement session, she made us feel completely at ease and guided us with such a gentle touch, making the experience fun and natural. The photos turned out absolutely stunning, capturing the joy, excitement, and deep connection we share. When it came time for my bridal portraits, Emma exceeded all expectations. She understood how important these photos were to me, especially since I was wearing my late grandmother’s ring, which holds immense sentimental value. Emma managed to capture not only the beauty of the dress and the setting but also the emotions and memories tied to this moment. She has an incredible eye for detail and lighting, and the photos are a perfect blend of candid and posed shots that reflect our personalities and relationship beautifully. The final images are more than just pictures; they are timeless keepsakes that we will cherish forever. If you're looking for a photographer who is talented, thoughtful, and genuinely invested in telling your story through photos, look no further than Emma. We can't recommend her enough! Thank you, Emma, for capturing these special moments that we'll treasure for a lifetime!

Lindsay and Nathan are an incredible team. From booking them two years ago, doing our engagement session, and now having gotten sneak peaks back from our wedding that was just 2 days ago, I’m completely blown away by how incredible they have been! Lindsay is a complete pro. Group photos flew by because she was so great at directing and wrangling everyone. I had multiple people comment on how she was EVERYWHERE non-stop at our wedding, doing an amazing job the whole time! I just know she got every picture I wanted and more, and with how gorgeous our sneak peaks turned out I know I’ll absolutely love them! She and Nathan were so on top of everything, and made us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera. Not only that, she truly went above and beyond helping to safety pin a rip in my dress.

We were initially drawn to their style and loved the idea of some classic candid style pictures. They helped us identify some locations throughout Morristown to take engagement photos and then we had a great time shooting our wedding portraits at The George in Montclair before our wedding at 18 Label. They were so easy and fun to work with; their photos speak volumes.

I'm Steph, a wanderer at heart, but I'm back to my New England roots living in MA with my husband, and our son, two dogs, and a cat. Becoming a mom has changed me in so many ways, and it's given me a new perspective, especially when it comes to taking photographs. We live in such a fast-paced society focused on Instagram "likes" and trends, that I feel as though we often miss the point of this thing called life. I love capturing the "in-between" moments, and making sure you don't feel rushed on your wedding day. I want to bring back the coffee table photo albums and sharing photos and stories, not scrolling through your socials.

Awarded Best of Zola
We found our forever photographer. Ashley and I were lucky enough to find Steph when looking for a wedding photographer. Little did we know we would be finding a friend and someone we will ask to take all future photos. Steph instantly won us over with not only her insane photography skills, but her personality. As people that don’t love to be in front of the camera, she made us feel comfortable and able to act like ourselves. We interviewed a handful of photographers, but after one call we knew she was our girl. She showed genuine interest in us as individuals as well as the success of our upcoming wedding. She took time to get to know us and that came out in the photographs. I could probably write at least 6 more paragraphs singing her praise, but to cut it short if you’re looking for a photographer, she’s the one and the only one to consider.

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.

I am a caffeine addict who never sleeps. I love a good thunderstorm and playing Candy Crush for the brain breaks. I adore all kinds of dogs, but I have a special love for German Shepherds. My all-time favorite thing is to sit by the fire with a glass of good cabernet or watch the ocean waves hit the beach. I love to garden and to build things (but I let my husband to finish all my projects LOL). I enjoy good food and will likely refer to a stand up comedy routine at least once in a conversation. I am also a football mom, lacrosse mom and basketball mom. Wife to a very understanding husband and emotional support person for my big puppies.

If you're on the hunt for a wedding photographer who not only captures every intricate detail but also brings a sense of ease and joy to your special day, look no further than Silvia Gilbert Photography. From the moment we met her, we knew she was the perfect fit for our wedding, and boy, did she exceed our expectations! Silvia] has an unparalleled knack for capturing the essence of each moment, from the stolen glances between the newlyweds to the delicate lace on the bride's gown. Her attention to detail is simply remarkable; every shot she takes feels like a work of art, meticulously composed and brimming with emotion. But what truly sets Silvia apart is her easy-going personality. Despite the inevitable chaos of a wedding day, she remained calm, cool, and collected, effortlessly putting us at ease and allowing us to fully enjoy the festivities. Her warm demeanor and infectious enthusiasm made the entire experience feel like a breeze, and her presence felt more like that of a dear friend rather than a hired vendor. Not only did Silvia capture all the big moments beautifully, but she also had a remarkable ability to capture the small, fleeting moments that we may have otherwise missed. Looking through our wedding album, we were transported back to that magical day, reliving every laugh, tear, and heartfelt exchange. In short, Silvia Gilbert Photography is a true gem in the world of wedding photography. If you want stunning photos and a stress-free experience, entrust her with your special day—you won't be disappointed.

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 was absolutely amazing to work with. We found her through our venue, Red Lion Inn, and let me just say- she didn’t disappoint. She worked with us during our engagement pictures to capture our dogs in all their craziness. When it came to the wedding planning, she went above and beyond to add on a videographer at the last minute to record the ceremony when we found out my grandmother wouldn’t be able to attend. Her turnaround for video and photos was unbelievably fast- we got the videos three days after the wedding and our full gallery within two weeks. The photos captured the day perfectly, and we will cherish them forever. Thank you for everything Kristin!

I want to do cool things, with good people. Create connections. Become fast friends. Share my love for the outdoors. Find incredible light. Laugh our asses off. Have a conversation about whatever. Not talk about politics. Find out how you met. Swear a little bit. Get lost for a while. Talk about music. Throw some high fives. Arm wrestle. Probably bring up my cats. Ask you why you don't have cats. Make you believe that bigfoot is real. Bring some thunder. Ride the lightning. Take some photos. Looking forward to all of that.

Working with Joe for our wedding was one of the best decisions we made! Hands down the best vendor we had for our wedding! From the first communications before we booked with him to when he sent us our wedding photos, Joe was professional, communicative, and so easy to work with. Joe was extremely easy to talk to throughout this whole process. He provided great suggestions for our engagement shoot and our first look/family photos. Going into our engagement shoot, we were both a little nervous about having our photo taken. Joe made us feel at ease and comfortable in front of the camera - he's got jokes! On our wedding day, he was so efficient and made sure that we were truly able to enjoy our day with our family & friends while still getting in some amazing photos. We enjoyed working with Joe so much that we've booked him for our family photos this upcoming year!

I had the pleasure of working with Cate on one of my recent weddings, and she is a joy to work with! Not only is Cate an incredibly talented photographer, but she also made the entire process of capturing the wedding day memories a breeze. She made my job as a wedding planner much easier by keeping everything on schedule and collaborating closely with the rest of the wedding team. Most importantly, Cate made the couple feel comfortable and at ease, adding humor into the day, allowing them to relax and enjoy the day, while getting incredibly authentic photos. The resulting photos were absolutely stunning and captured the essence of the couple's special day. It is so much fun to work with an artistic photographer, rather than a standard wedding photographer, because they see the day as an art piece, capturing little moments that others would let pass by. I would highly recommend Caterina to anyone in need of a talented and fun wedding photographer!

I've been photographing weddings since 2010 and it's something that I feel incredibly fortunate to do. It really is remarkable to be able to combine my love for photography and storytelling in capturing the stories of so many wonderful couples in a genuine and authentic manner over the past 10 years. I currently reside in Brooklyn, New York with my wife, our daughter and our two cats. When I'm not photographing weddings you can find me exploring the streets of New York City with my camera, enjoying a good cup of coffee, visiting art galleries, and spending time outdoors.

Could not recommend James MORE to photograph your wedding. Not only is he an incredibly skilled photographer, he is kind and friendly and fantastic to work with! We have already recommended him to family and friends getting married in the coming years. I can’t wait to see the full album of our photos, because so far they are the most beautiful wedding photos I’ve ever seen. You won’t regret working with James!

Hi friends! My name is Jess. I never know what to write in these bios but here goes …. I’m a caffeine addict (coffee and Dr Pepper), wife to my high school sweetheart, mom of three active kids, complete artsy nerd, avid fan of Marvel/Disney, legos and puzzles and lastly, a lover of nature and of human connection Capturing details and moments that you don’t get to stop and relish in the day of your wedding, but will have for the rest of your life, it’s what I love.

Jess was such a pleasure to work with for my wedding. There was rain predicted on my wedding day and she was so sweet about it. She texted me almost everyday the week leading up to my wedding reassuring me it would all work out (she keeps multiple clear umbrellas in her car in case of rain) and she was right, we ended up having a beautiful day! She was so personable, asked me if I needed anything every step of the way and was amazing with the kids that were a part of our wedding. She led us every step of the way and was spot on with her recommendations on poses and photo locations. She had a sneak peak ready for us two days after the wedding and everything has looked exactly how we imagined it. I highly recommend Jess for your wedding photographer, or any event for that matter!

There’s nothing better to me than capturing that perfect frame - the one moment that will be remembered forever. That’s art. Weddings are the perfect canvas for a filmmaker.

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!

Hi! I'm Amy Ronk, a photographer currently based in Denver, CO. After attending photography school, weddings kind of stole my heart. I love love of every kind, and it's always such an honor to be considered to capture your wedding day. I focus mainly on candid moments, and showcasing the emotions of the day. I think it's important to walk away from your wedding with timeless, beautiful photos that will remind you just how special your day was.

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!
