Tom was an amazing photographer! From the first day that we had a Zoom conference with him, we knew he would be a good fit for us. Communication was clear throughout the entire process (from our engagement photos to our wedding day photos) and he was always friendly and personable. He showed up on time for our wedding and worked well with everyone in our wedding party as well as our family members. He knew how to make us laugh and was more than a welcome guest on our special day. We are so happy to have found Tom in our search for a wedding photographer and could not be happier with the results. We truly felt that he took the time to get to know us and made our wedding day all the more special because of that. Do not hesitate to book Tom for your wedding or any other photo opportunities. Thank you, Tom!!

I was born and raised in the smallest little state, Rhode Island! With that comes a huge appreciation for the coast and a realization that magic can be found in even the smallest of details. Growing up in a small town where time seems to go by slower helped me learn the value of genuine connections which have now become apart of who I am.

We are SO glad we worked with Bri! From start to finish she was supportive, communicative, and onboard with our elopement. My husband and I are not comfortable in front of the camera and she made it so easy to get beautiful photos! I let Bri use her artistic vision to get a lot of our photos, and I am so happy I did. Her and Lucas were fabulous - and essential to keeping our elopement as quiet as possible. I will definitely be reaching out to Bri if we ever need any other photos done! Thank you so so much for capturing our day!!

We got married at the Publick House in Sturbridge, MA in June 2024, and we had such a great experience! The place is made up of a few buildings- my (now) husband was getting ready in one building and I in another. Tony was great with communication; he kept me posted about when he was on his way, when he got to my husband's room, and when he was coming to my room. He was also quick to send sneak peak pics! We told him we didn't like posed pictures, we only wanted a few with our family and wedding party, and then to take the rest of us just being us. The pictures were great! We got the posed photos we wanted, and he was great about my idea of the wedding party being chased by a blow-up dinosaur (seriously)! The rest of the photos were wonderful, just all of us having a good time; he captured them so well! He was very professional and he made the time doing the posed pictures fun. I would DEFINITELY recommend Tony for your event!

Teresa Johnson Photography

Hi, I'm Theresa, a wedding photographer inspired by nature's beauty and the stories we all hope to pass down. Along with my amazing team of photographers (plus a videographer!), our work emphasizes natural prompts and real emotions to create incredible imagery that captures the vibrant energy of wedding celebrations. We’re set apart by the fact that we know how to maximize shotlists so our couples can skip the photo marathons and enjoy their own cocktail hour (which is rare, I might add).

Awarded Best of Zola
Teresa is awesome! She provides amazing customer service from the time you meet her through the time she delivers your digital album (3-4 weeks after your wedding day) and then beyond that was you order prints and create albums. I “clicked” with Teresa instantly the day we met and she held my husband and my hands through the entire planning process leading up to the wedding. She even shot a mini-engagement shoot in the week before the wedding so that my husband could meet her and she could see us interact together. We were completely confident that our day would go smoothly photography-wise and boy, did it ever! Once in full "game day" mode on our wedding day, Teresa balanced being friendly and accommodating to our wedding party and guests with doing the necessary crowd control to get the shots we asked her to, plus so many others! Her full day coverage allowed us to have pictures from both of our getting ready locations, our first look and then the ceremony and reception at our venue: four locations on a tight timeline which meant over 10 hours of shooting. After our big day, we were psyched to see our sneak preview pop up in our inbox less than 24 hours after the wedding with 100+ photos! Even better, our full album came through at around 3 weeks post-wedding. From what I've heard from other wedding couples, this is exceptional turnaround time compared to the majority of the industry. The photos themselves are nothing short of amazing! Teresa was able to capture the happiness and love we felt on our day and looking through the photos transported us right back to each of the special moments of our day. From our intimate first look to the formal portraits, to photos of our DIY wedding details, to the dance floor candids and our sparkler send off, and everything in between.... WOW! We recommend Teresa to anyone and everyone we can!

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).

Mike was up to our adventurous requests. Photographing our engagement photos, intimate ceremony, and celebration ceremony he did it all! Including braving the cold for our outdoor winter ceremony. Mike was very flexible with our requests, and guided us when we needed it. He was able to get our pictures we wanted and did not consume the whole night! He fit right in on the dance floor with his camera's in hand! Thank you Mike!

I am a self-proclaimed nerd and total goofball who is always up for an adventure, especially if it means going to the beach. I love to travel. I have been blessed to find “home” on three different continents, and I speak fluent English, Spanish and Portuguese. My husband Mike, sons Javi & Ro, baby Soleil and pup Tag are my greatest motivation. They simultaneously drive me crazy and keep me grounded. The love, strength and energy I get from them shapes my perspective on the world, and is something that I want to share with you. In addition to all that, I happen to be one of the luckiest people in the world – I love my job!

Bridget was amazing! She took our engagement and wedding photos and they came out wonderful! She was able to capture the best moments of the day!

My husband and I are enjoying living in the quiet woods of Haddam, CT with our fur babes Kenai and Topaz. Brian and I have been together since 2015 and got married in 2022 at a brewery. Born in New Haven, we’ve had the incredible experience of living around the country including Alaska, Oregon and Colorado. My perfect day is sitting outside in the autumn air drinking espresso while listening to a podcast or reading The Secret, again. The show Outlander is a guilty pleasure though Brian and I are always quoting New Girl and Bob’s Burgers. I love planning adventures, thrillers, football Sundays, wholesome conversation, cozy vibes and markets.

I am so happy that we found Ashley on Instagram!! Not only did I have beautiful photos, but Ashley was so fun, talented, and knew exactly how to execute our "vision" I feel like she was such a great listener and she was so easy to talk to when we first spoke on the phone. Our Engagement shoot was so fun!! It was freezing so we decided to get creative and ended up with better photos than we could have imagined. When Ashley walked in to the Bridal suite on our wedding day I could feel her excitement and she totally brought amazing energy that made me so excited to the day to come. She was by our side the whole day and captured so many beautiful moments. I feel like I hit the jackpot with her! Definitely take a look at her work she does not disappoint.

I HAVE THE BEST JOB! I Mean It. Though You'll Hardly Notice Me When It Counts, I Will Have A Front Row Seat For The Happiest And Most Memorable Moments Of Your Life. I Will Probably Squeal In Excitement With You As You Slip Into Your Dress On The Big Day. I Will Cry When You Walk Down The Aisle To Your Best Friend. I'll Cheer When You Have Your First Kiss As Husband And Wife, And Dance With You When The Celebration Begins. And When All Is Said And Done, I Will Create A Collection Of Real, Colorful & Timeless Photographs That Will Preserve The Perfection Of Your Day Forever.

I have been lucky to work with Jessica several times. As a fellow artist that loves the play of light and shade, the sunlight streaming through the trees, the true colors of nature, the way the breeze blows a lock of hair as a groom kisses his bride, I love to see her photography. As a makeup artist I’m also interested in seeing the photos of the faces of the bridal party so I can make sure my craft translates well in pictures, and appreciate when a photographer shares them with me. I still remember a photo from a wedding that was simply the couple seated at their sweetheart table at dinner and photographed from behind through a rustic grey barn door; you couldn’t see their faces but it was so visually beautiful with the grey rough wood juxtaposed with the back of the elegant lace gown as they were holding hands during the reception I still haven’t forgotten it. It was a moment no one else would ever have seen and perhaps the couple may have other forgotten, except Jessica captured that little moment in time. I feel that a couple will treasure the beautiful naturally posed photos she does, but will also especially remember their joy of their wedding day with a photo like that. Jessica is personable, kind, punctual and helps the couples to enjoy the photo taking session. I can’t wait to work with her again because she is so fun, you don’t have to wait a long time for the edited photos, and her work is gorgeous!

My name is Layne, I am a 25 year old photographer based out of Connecticut, but always down to get out of here and travel! I have a passion for capturing some of life's most beautiful moments and turning them into a memory you can truly cherish forever. My love for photography has gotten me through some of the worst times and is my saving grace. Because of that, I don't plan on ever putting my camera down. I am not here to put you in the perfect pose; I am here to capture real, authentic emotion! When you open your album I want you to feel something, and I strongly believe those raw emotions come from candid moments that can’t be posed.

Layne Ann Photography was a fantastic choice for our wedding photography. Layne communicated quickly and reliably throughout the planning process, making it easy to coordinate schedules and locations. On our rainy wedding day, Layne brought an upbeat, easygoing energy that kept the photo shoot fun, even when we had to adjust plans last-minute. The photos turned out beautifully - Layne has a real talent for capturing creative shots, and the images vividly showcase the joy and love from our special day. Between the quality of the photographs and Layne's friendly professionalism, we felt we received fantastic value. I wholeheartedly recommend Layne Ann Photography to any couple looking for a talented, communicative photographer to capture the magic of their wedding celebrations.

My name is Margit. I am an outdoor-loving, adventure-seeking, love-obsessed, believing, cat mamma who believes in the utmost importance of capturing life’s most significant moments. I hold my photography close to my heart; I capture the real, authentic, whimsical moments that happen throughout your wedding day.

After seeing Margit’s portfolio and work on display at a wedding expo, I knew her style would be perfect for the photos we hoped to capture from our wedding day…we ended up getting those and so much more!! Margit truly cares about her couples and shares a genuine excitement for capturing your love through her lens. When we had our engagement shoot, she loved our idea of going back to the brewery where we met. She called them to make sure we’d be able to have access to different areas and even worked with their event coordinator to get us in before they opened to ensure we’d be uninterrupted. She was so accommodating and made us feel so comfortable and at ease. In the months and weeks leading up to the wedding day, Margit was in communication with us about our timelines and photo lists, and was so thorough and professional. On our big day, she showed up with so much enthusiasm and enlisted a fantastic second shooter to capture every part of our day. Margit and Chris were so creative and made sure we got romantic sunset pictures and epic dance floor pictures!! Not even 12 hours after our wedding, Margit delivered a few sneaks peeks which was an amazing surprise to wake up to as husband and wife. The extended sneak peeks she delivered a week later made us so excited to see the full album, which she delivered in less than 4 weeks!! We still cannot even pick out our top 10 favorites, they are all so amazing and meaningful to us. Margit is so caring and takes her job of capturing your most important day so seriously, but is so much fun to work with. We can’t wait for her to capture more of our important life events.

In the 20 years that I've been photographing professionally, I’ve honed my skill of knowing when to step in and make things happen, and when to step back and simply *allow* things to happen. Documenting the REAL emotion of the day is how we capture those picture-perfect moments. They happen organically, not by force, and I promise you: we're not going to miss ANY of them. = )

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!

Awarded Best of Zola
Lacie captured moments that took my breath away. Her style and skill is every bride’s dream. She delivers everything you adore from those Pinterest and Instagram wedding photos. So there is no question she can deliver what she is looking for. And we are beyond thrilled with all of our photos. The sneak peeks are also so much fun (she sends a batch of photos shortly after she shoots you). But where Lacie shines and what I have to tell you about is everything else. She truly went above and beyond. She’s not just a photographer, she’ll be one of your favorite people on your special day. Yes, Lacie is kind and friendly and comforting and just the kind of person you need on your wedding day (and who you wished you roomed with in college). But she is so much more. Here are just some of the few meaningful things Lacie did that I noticed that I’ll forever carry with me. Firstly, I had a very important rosary I wanted to photograph, and with the chaos, I had forgotten. It would have broken my heart if I left it behind. Lacie remembered. I got fixated on an insignificant hiccup on my wedding day that could have ruined my day. Lacie redirected my attention to the things that really mattered and brightened up my mood immediately. Leading up to the wedding, Lacie advocated for me and my husband ensuring us she was fully dedicated to only us on the day, literally saying “You and Sean are my priority.” Nobody and nothing would take her attention away from us. She was always quick to respond to texts, I could go to her for quick wedding advice, and she’s genuinely so passionate about her craft. Lacie could really be a wedding planner with how much she knows. Other vendors loved working with her, especially our videographers. She was so quick, efficient, and took initiative. She gave them space and skillfully took turns capturing moments with them. With a big wedding party and spacious venue, we kept losing track of people for pictures, Lacie corralled them masterfully. She’s not afraid to get people to focus and get the photos done, but also in the most polite and respectful way. I watched videos of brides saying I wish this or that moment was captured. Sometimes I’d forget whether I had those moments captured myself. Then I go to Lacie’s photos and every single thing that brides mentioned got missed by their photographer she captured for me. Her vibe! She’s so positive and cheery. I was so nervous and also worried about how dark my church was. She got me excited about it after turning it into a positive saying it would look like the theater and she could absolutely work with it. I texted her a shoot list the night before our wedding. She carried that around and took it so seriously making sure she captured everything I listed. I made a Pinterest board of photos I liked and she remembered ones I forgot I included in there. She was my favorite vendor (tied with my incredible florist @dazyflorals) and the vendor I had no worries about it. I didn’t have to check in with her. I could trust her with my eyes closed. She’d be where she needed to be on time, professional, and prepared. I’m going to miss her. Sign her and soak up her sunshine for me, will ya?

From the first moment my grandfather placed a Sony Cybershot in my hands at age 13, I knew the magic of capturing life's most profound and intimate moments was meant for me. Now, after nearly 24 years behind the lens, what began as a childhood hobby has become everything to me. My commitment to you as your photographer is to apply my skill, creative mind, and decades of experience to your occasion so you have fantastic, tangible memories to look back on years from now. I have made it my goal to become proficient across a wide range of photographic/editing styles, in order to better serve the needs and preferences of each individual client.

From the moment I first spoke with Johnny, I knew we had found the perfect photographer for our wedding day. His communication style was always professional yet funny, putting us at ease throughout the entire process. The quality of his work was truly exceptional - he had incredible ideas and executed them perfectly, capturing all the best moments of our special day. I have a horrible memory, but every time I turned around, he was there, almost as if he could see exactly what I wanted and needed pictures of to remember the day. My now husband *hates* his picture taken, but even our posed photos never looked stiff or awkward thanks to his expertise. Johnny was as sweet as can be and truly did the absolute best work. We are so grateful to have had him as part of our wedding celebration.

Reiman Photography is a full-service wedding photography company based out of Auburn, Massachusetts. Owner and lead photographer Rob has been part of the wedding industry since 2007, photographing weddings throughout New England. His goal is to capture the details and special moments that couples want to remember for the rest of their lives.

Rob and Rachel made the process of working together very easy and fun. As someone who does not like having her picture taken, I was nervous. They did a wonderful job at easing my nerves and making me feel more comfortable being photographed. That began with our engagement pictures. I am so grateful that those pictures were included in our wedding package. They offer a variety of packages to chose from for all budgets. They are masters behind the camera but also true professionals. They arrived on time, maintained a friendly and approachable demeanor and made us feel at ease. Rob even helped the groomsmen with their boutonnieres and pocket squares. They listened to our ideas and incorporated them into the shoot. I received all of the photographs on a beautiful, personalized flash drive. The photos are gorgeous! I also included a wedding album that is beautiful. I am so thankful I chose Reiman Photography for my wedding. I highly recommend them!

HOME STATES: California & Massachusetts/New England Hey! Justina here. You'll probably find me at your local thrift shop with my iced coffee in the dead of winter listening to gospel or rnb music in my ear while shopping for records and broken cameras. When i find spare time i play apex legends or attend creative events. my guilty pleasure is reality tv and unsolved crime documentaries.

I cannot say enough about Justina—she helped our wedding day run seamlessly! From the start, she was incredibly helpful and communicative, working closely with us to construct the perfect wedding day timeline. She even provided a detailed wedding guidebook and questionnaire, which helped us envision the exact vibe we wanted. On the big day, when we inevitably fell behind schedule, Justina handled it with such grace and adapted quickly. She adjusted effortlessly, stayed flexible, and kept everything moving. Even with less time for photos, she still managed to capture all the shots we had requested. Justina’s collaboration with her brother Anthony, who did our videography, was another highlight. Instead of coordinating between two separate vendors, we were able to meet with both of them together, ensuring that our wedding day vibe was beautifully reflected in both the photos and video. They both were extremely professional and helpful, in addition to providing creative ideas that helped bring our vision to life. What truly sets Justina apart is her talent and eye for candid shots that look and feel so natural. You can tell she cares deeply about the quality of her work. She got us a preview album within a week of the wedding, and my husband and I were so moved by the photos. We still cannot stop looking through them! If you want someone who will make your wedding photo dreams come true and help you feel comfortable and taken care of on our wedding day, look no further than Justina. We couldn’t be happier with our choice!

I’m blessed to be turning what started as a small hobby into an incredible journey where I get to capture such intimate moments in couple's lives. I graduated from UConn with a degree in psychology and journalism; both those tracks have only helped me in capturing human emotion through a photojournalist lens. An ambivert, my camera allows me to work where I know I work best, behind-the-scenes, front row at some of the most profound moments in people's lives. In a pinch though, I'll be there carrying the train, making sure you don't get your shoes dirty and helping to support you where I can throughout your wedding day!

As a wedding planner, I’ve found Kim to be such a pleasure to work with!!! She’s incredibly sweet and easy to communicate with. She has a creative eye and will do it all for the shot. Not only have I worked with Kim professionally but she also worked my personal wedding! I would highly recommend using her!

Working with J. Roman was a dream! We won an engagement shoot with J and quickly knew we wanted him as our wedding photographer after an engagement shoot that was so fun! He delivered hundreds of photos that we loved. His range is amazing; from moody and dark, to vintage and chic, to glam and bright, all the versions of photography you crave for your big day, J covers! We were open to J's eye when it came to moments and he worked seamlessly on our big day--him or his team never felt intrusive to a special moment. The raw emotion of the wedding day was captured so beautifully-we get to relive such a momentous day over and over through his art. He was incredibly professional, was very easy to work with and was so helpful in planning. J has delivered amazing results: 2500 photos for our wedding, which we received in exactly 3 weeks. We received the first short video within 4 weeks of the wedding as well for his photography and videography package. So grateful that we booked with J Roman and would recommend his over and over again!

The word ‘milieu’ defines how we want to capture your wedding: as whole of scenery. Any experience is the result of a series of moments and feeling of our interaction with others. Images can recreate those intangible elements more fully in our mind, allowing us to relive our emotional experience long after the day has ended.

Salvatore was our photographer for our wedding in Central Park. He has an eye for detail and accommodated me with all of my requests. He is professional, organized, and a pleasure to work with. We are very happy with all the photos. He captured all of the precious moments for us to look back on & remember on such a beautiful and memorable day.

Kelsey Sheehan Photography was founded in 2019. I made the jump into being a professional photographer to follow my heart and work in a career path that I love! When I am not working you can find me baking with country or 90s/00s R&B blasting, sitting by the fire with my neighbors, doing yoga, kickboxing, jiu jitsu, or hiking with my family. Okay, and maybe binge watching Schitt's Creek, Gilmore Girls, or Grey's Anatomy for the hundredth time.

Kelsey was wonderful to work with for our engagement shoot! Our engagement session was a bit out of the norm, but Kelsey rolled with it with open arms and tried something new with us. We weren’t completely sure how the process would go, but Kelsey guided us through different shots and was also open to different ideas that we had. The photos are absolutely to die for!! She captured us perfectly and these are my favorite photos of us. She was incredibly responsive throughout the process and it was a fantastic experience!
