Avec L’Amour

  • Videographer

  • Starts at $4,200
  • Serves East Haddam, CT

We are painters when it comes to film. We enjoy creating love stories that poke at the heart of emotion. There’s an art to visually piecing a love story together. We have a strong eye for detail, and focus on really diving into a couples love and expressing their emotion for one another through our lens.

I truly cannot put into words how amazing our entire experience was from start to finish. We found John and Avec L'Amour through our photographer, Heather Soucy. She told me that her family even used John for her brother's wedding because of everyone she has worked with, she trusted him to document their special day in the best way. That spoke volumes to me. When I say these two are a 'dream team' I am not kidding. As someone who had never been professionally photographed or video'd before, I was really nervous about looking and feeling awkward. John made my husband, Mike, and me feel SO comfortable throughout the whole day. It was so cool seeing these two incredibly creative minds feeding off each other to get the best possible shot. It was a little rainy on our day and they actually took video/photos of us inside a puddle reflection--I mean who thinks of that?! We were running a little late to the reception when our portraits were supposed to be taken and John knew we didn't want to miss too much of cocktail hour. We were able to get the most beautiful shots in just 30 minutes, including drone, which was super important to us. The Avec L'Amour team got absolutely stunning video without us feeling like we had cameras in our faces all night. We booked John for the 8-hour package, but realized we were not going to be able to get the bouquet toss or cake cutting in that time frame. NO worries!! John offered to stay an extra hour to capture the remainder of the evening. Now for the deliverables: we got our first teaser video back within 3 weeks of our day and I was absolutely blown away. We received the full gallery which included a 1 minute teaser, 3 minute trailer, and the full 1.5 hour long event not even a MONTH after our wedding day. It was just like watching a move of all our favorite people and he captured the day so perfectly. I cannot say enough: RUN, don't walk to book John and Avec L'Amour for your special day!! Worth every penny. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

We're thrilled with our photos and experience We cannot say enough about how beautiful our photos are! We are beyond thrilled with how they turned out and how they feel like we felt on our wedding day. I will say, though, that we and our families all agreed that even if the photos didn’t turn out as we hoped, we would still be happy because of how great they were to work with. They made even the more camera-shy among us feel comfortable, never distracted from the important parts of our day, and were flexible and lovely to be around. We couldn't be happier with the final results and wholeheartedly recommend them for anyone getting married in the area.

Hi! I'm Kayla, owner and lead photographer at Kayla Rice Photography. I grew up in Southern Vermont and began my venture into the world of professional photography at Syracuse University where I earned my B.S. in Photojournalism.

Kayla was the perfect fit for our wedding. We were looking for someone who would be able to do candid shots well, and she perfectly captured tears of joy, laughter, and a night full of dancing. We so appreciated her prompt responses and organization, and she coordinated wedding albums for us and our parents afterwards, helping me put together beautiful albums without the stress of designing it myself (admittedly not my strongsuit). We hope to find an excuse to work with her again soon!

  • Serves East Haddam, CT

Hi, I'm Stephanie! I specialize in backyard weddings and small celebrations. I connect best with couples who might include their dog in the ceremony, make their day uniquely theirs, and don't sweat the small stuff. A jar of wildflowers is as interesting to me as a perfectly crafted orchid bouquet. I love documenting the small moments and details, and I see beauty everywhere on a wedding day. My face always hurts from smiling so much on my drive home! I know how to take charge for posed portraits (and always do some!) but I prefer to capture moments as they happen. I've been a photographer full-time for over fifteen years.

Awarded Best of Zola
Stephanie was absolutely AMAZING! If we could give 10 stars we would. During our consultation she was so reassuring and did not mind my many questions (and trust me there were a lot). Our day was so full of love it was overwhelming after the wedding to remember everything. With her artistic eye and ninja like movement she caught it ALL. From the natural blending moments of our families to the personality of both my husband and I together. Five years later we look at pictures or scroll through our wedding book and every happy moment comes flowing back. Thank you Stephanee, you are truly talented.

Hi there! I'm Ashley! I'm a go with the flow, free-spirited human so I find connecting with my clients rather easily. I'm not your average photographer .....

At Life Through a Shutter Photography, our goal is to preserve memories and emotions that will last a lifetime. We approach our work with empathy, care and attention to detail, ensuring that each client has a personal and enjoyable experience. Sure, looks are important... I dig deeper than just what appears on the outside, I find those raw emotions and capture the connection in real time. What matters most when you look back at an image is being able to relive that emotion, what you felt in that exact moment, and hang on to that feeling. That's the real reason why photos last a lifetime and say a million words. Emotion!

Alysha is the definition of professionalism and expertise while working with me on our shoot. Her level of direction and detail made my whole experience that much better. The pre-planning of the shoot was concise and creative. She had great content and prop ideas, and asked all the right questions to be prepared for the day. I found Alysha able to work more efficiently and precisely than other photographers I’ve used before, and she was intuitive and knowledgeable. My engagement photos are everything I wanted and MORE! Editing the style I wanted was a huge bonus! She’s open to any idea and theme. I am so pleased with the photographs, and would highly recommend her. I am already planning another shoot!!

  • Serves East Haddam, CT

Born and raised in Maine, I dream of one day retiring there by the sea, like a real life Miss Rumphius. But until then, I live just outside of Boston with my husband and our three cats. I'm married to my high school sweetheart, but we waited more than a decade before saying our own vows. Sometimes (okay, often) I eat cake for breakfast, so you can always count on me to help taste test yours. If I'm not photographing people in love, I'm probably enjoying a glass (bottle) of champagne on the couch or planning my next adventure. I believe everything is better by the ocean and you should never wait to explore the world.

We found Kendra on Instagram (yes, Instagram!) and instantly fell in love with her style. She is so personable and made us feel like ourselves in front of the camera, which included lots of giggles and following us around while we adventured for our engagement shoot. We picked Kendra as our wedding photographer for a lot of reasons, but initially because we loved her natural, bright and romantic aesthetic. As soon as we started working with Kendra, it was like we had been friends for a long time. She made us feel special and knew exactly what to say to capture our emotions and love for one another in the way that we expressed it, which sounds like a no brainer, but it can be challenging to feel "normal" when a new person is in front of you and taking your picture! In addition to being an incredible photographer, we turned to Kendra for her opinion and advice in some of our wedding decisions that we were having trouble making. Kendra gladly and professionally provided us with her input and even sent us some photos of examples of things we were considering that she had previously photographed so we had a visual. On the day of our wedding, from the moment Kendra arrived, she ran the show. I was so excited to see her and felt like she was a wedding guest that had arrived, but even though we developed an excellent rapport, Kendra meant business and was ready to do her job, so she got the ball really rolling. Shortly after her arrival, tension started to grow as we became closer and closer to the time of the ceremony and things didn't go exactly as we had planned them. Kendra had our backs and helped us to solve as many problems as we could, and make the best of the others that we had to move on from. This would be described under going "above and beyond the call of duty"! Kendra was there for us as our incredible photographer, but she wore many hats that contributed to the success of our wedding day. You should select Kendra as your wedding photographer if you want someone who is calm and personable, while delivering natural, bright and romantic photos. We are so grateful to Kendra for our beautiful photos and all of her help in making our day be a success!!

I love to travel (15+ countries and counting!), discover new places and meet new people. Fun fact: I'm a french citizen that moved to the United States in 2016.

I cannot say enough good things about Ben! From our engagement shoot to planning to wedding day, he was on top of everything. The photos are gorgeous, he's a joy to work with, but most importantly he's just freakin' awesome. He fit right in with our crazy bunch like he's been part of our gang all along and we all had so much fun the whole time! I've never had photos taken before but he made it so easy and took away all the stress and anxiety that we had prior to both engagement shoot and wedding day. He's literally the best; stop searching, you've found the one, it's him!

Vibrant puts your day first and foremost. Our premier performances and dedication to personalized service has led to our recent induction into The_Knot Hall of Fame 2020.

I will be working with you directly every step of the way from consultation and planning, to the day of the wedding.

Vibrant was fantastic for our March wedding. They brought amazing energy and class to our event, and guests are still raving about them a month later. The dance floor was packed for the entire evening. Lauren and Miguel are a dynamite lead-singing duo, and the instrumentalists are each incredibly talented. Justin was very responsive and easy to connect with leading up to the day, and accommodated all of our requests and needs with ease. They were also very helpful with recommendations based on extensive experience, and even allowed the bride's sister to play their keyboard for the ceremony, which was an over-and-above request they did not have to agree to. Overall can't recommend this group enough!

  • Serves East Haddam, CT

I started photographing weddings in 2017. I originally got my first camera to photograph landscapes- National Parks specifically. But the second the camera was in my hands, I was immediately drawn to photographing connections between people. Since that moment I haven't hesitated while my heart led me in the direction of wedding and elopement photography! I love documenting the in-between, unprompted moments; the subtle way your partner glances over at you with a side smile when you're not paying attention, the groom fiddling with his new ring, and the uncontrollable laughter when you're melting into each other during your couple's photos.

Tammy, there is not enough praise in this world for what you deserve for truly creating the most magical elopement day. From the moment we started talking, Tammy filled our imagination with ideas, plans and picture locations to help make our wedding special. She did not hesitate when we decided to elope in Acadia National Park and sent over research and location ideas of where to hold our ceremony. She was attentive to the details that were most important to us and really allowed us to create our perfect day. Not only did she help plan our elopement day but day of she arrived early and was able to help create the excitement and long lasting memories. With her creative eye, she found the most perfect spot for us to have our first look. With great skill, she professionally moved the wedding party along to be to stay true to the ceremony timeline and the National Park entrance time (which is a feat to coordinate 7 guests, a dog and a bus driver). With not having a wedding planner (or any guest focused on timeline) it was so helpful to have Tammy to take charge and gather the group. Lastly, but certainly not least, she made us feel comfortable in front of the camera. We dont normally enjoy being the center of attention, she had us move naturally and cued us to be confident in front of the camera. With her upbeat personality and lots of laughs, the pictures captured our excitement and love while we eloped. She didn’t hesitate for a second when we asked for our dog to be in almost every picture us and was able to capture. She read my mind as taking pictures from different angles and of the landscape around us. Thank you Tammy for making our dream surprise elopement a reality! Not only was it the most perfect day, but now we have pictures that capture the emotions and celebration of our wedding!

We are still on a high from the most fun night of our lives all thanks to BeachNights band, Chris and DJ Connor!!! If you want to have music at your wedding that everyone will be talking about for years to come, book BeachNights for your reception and the DJ combo for your other music needs (ceremony, cocktail hour, afterparty). Booking BeachNights for all our music needs was the best decision we made for our wedding day. BeachNights far exceeded our expectations. Chris is so professional, organized, and easy to work with. They have so much experience in all types of venues; you will be glad you have a band who knows exactly what they need to do to put on a seamless performance. They keep the music process worry-free so you can focus on other aspects of wedding planning. A piece of unsolicited advice if I may, book BeachNights for everything: ceremony, cocktail hour, reception, afterparty. It was so much easier being able to talk to ONE person and coordinate all music through ONE group rather than having 4 music vendors involved in the planning process. They take time to learn about you as a couple, your music wants and needs, likes and dislikes so that every single song is exactly what you want and how you pictured your music on your wedding day. THANK YOU Chris and team for making our wedding dreams come true!

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!

Kelley and team are truly angels! I was a covid bride who truly planned my wedding at least 5 times, changed the date 3x and a new venue and I could have not done this without Kelley and A la carte events! I had one vendor try to take advantage of my husband and I and asked for more money when rescheduling the date and Kelley quickly helped take care of the situation, she even found me a new spring trio who were phenomenal and very easy to work with! It rained on my wedding day and Kelley made sure everything ran perfectly even with the rain. All the behind the scenes work Kelley and team did the week leading up to my wedding was insane, I truly would have been so lost without her. I miss working with her even though at times changing my venue and dates were super stressful, I probably would have lost my mind if Kelley wasn’t there to guide me. She thought of things that didn’t even cross my mind and made everything truly perfect. People still rave about our wedding day and how amazing it all came together despite the weather. She’s the first vendor I always recommend, my husband and I still rave about how amazing Kelley was! We miss her so much and wish we could get married 82828x over but have her by our side! We love A La carte events, having a planner makes such a big difference and truly is noticeable if you have one or not.

Ashley is one of the most talented photographers out there. Being a videographer in the industry, photographers and videographers can from time to time clash in an effort to get the best content for their clients. Ashley not only is concious of this but, does her best to work with videographers to get some absolutely incredible shots. If you're considering Ashley, you would be making a mistake not to make her your photographer for your wedding!

Jasmine was exactly what we needed on our wedding day. Between the big parties, big loud italian and portguese families and all the photos I wanted and asked of her even at the last minute she was calm and professional and helped me stay grounded in the chaos. Plus, all the photos were gorgeous! It was amazing to look back at all the moments I missed in the busy day and see everyone love all the hard work we all put into it.

Jason Snorlax Photography

  • Photographer
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $3,500
  • Serves East Haddam, CT

Jason "Snorlax" Cun is an all around photographer that currently resides in Los Angeles, California. He was raised in the heart of Los Angeles, where he found his calling in photography. He aims to capture the beauty of the world and the people in them. He has recently begun his travels around the U.S capturing the life of those within that city.

Jason was recommended to me by a family member, and to this day, I'm so grateful. Jason was so quick with communication. He responded and asked for details from the very beginning. He was easy to talk to. We ended up booking him for our engagement photos AND our wedding photos. Our engagement photo session was seamless. Jason was easy to work with and he made my (now) husband and I feel so comfortable. Photo sessions do NOT have to be awkward with Jason. He recommended the LA Arboretum and the Pasadena City Hall for our shoot and we couldn't have asked for any better location. Jason knew exactly where to go and what to do. When it came time for our wedding day, Jason and Mae (his second) were so nice. They did not rush us for any photoshoot. He had us take our time, take breathers, and helped us stress about one less thing during the day. We just got our photos back and they are downright GORGEOUS. I could not believe these were us. I am still amazed by it all. The turnover time was so quick as well. Again, communication was so easy with him. I HIGHLY recommend Jason as a photographer. We could not have asked for anyone better.

With over 10 years of industry experience, my strengths clearly lie in wedding and portraiture photography. Whether you're a recently engaged couple looking for someone to preserve your journey from fiancés to newlyweds through photographs, an expectant Mama hoping to capture your maternity glow or simply wanting to document you and your loved ones during whatever special season of life you're in, I would love to hear from you, I specialize in all types of portraiture but I am renowned for my wedding and engagement photography above all else. Whatever your photo needs are, I would love to chat and find out if we're a good match.

Sam was our girl from the beginning. She encouraged our pups in our engagement photos and worked around their lack of being photogenic. She pushed us, comfortably, out of our comfort zone. She was found by my Maid of Honor on Instagram and I immediately knew her style was what I had been looking for. When it came to wedding day I was most excited to see not only our photographer, but a friend. She was supportive, easy to work with and guided us in the right direction when needed. She knocked out our photos in a timely manor while positioning and giving great direction as to where to move to make the picture look better (something that was important to me). I am happy to scream her name for recommendations from now on & return to her in the future!

With a passion for providing high-quality services and an obsession with Makeup since the age of 3, I’ve been involved in the beauty industry since 2007. My mission is to offer my brides everything they need to look and feel their best.

Wow, if I could have invited Abby & Bailey to actually ATTEND my wedding - I would have because that's how much I loved working with them and having them be a part of my wedding day! From the very first call (9 months before my wedding), Abby was beyond incredible. She immediately made me feel like I could rely on her and I trusted that she would make sure my wedding look was everything I wanted it to be. In the 9 months leading up to the wedding, she answered every single one of my questions within hours of me sending an email. The day of was perfect - Abby and Bailey executed my vision beyond my wildest dreams! They were excellent with my mom, MIL, SIL, and cousins and did a great job keeping us on schedule. Not only are they extremely talented, but they are also FUN and personable! When looking for "the one" for hair and make-up for your wedding it's, of course, important that they are skilled, but to me, it was equally important that they fit the vibe on my wedding day since they are with you all day. Abby excelled in all those areas! Book her ASAP :-)
