Growing up in Egypt, near the great Pyramids, has inspired my eyes to capture great moments that last for life time. I am surrounded both by natural beauty and interesting people. I use my camera to document the world and then print images with a focus on the magic I find in daily life. My pictures tell my stories

Awarded Best of Zola
It was an amazing experience, SGJ photography was super helpful in picking out the perfect place and perfect poses! I loved how all my pictures came out, the edits made all the pictures look so pretty and captured every right moment! I am so glad I was able to have my special moment captured with SGJ.

Hi! I am so happy you found your way here! My name is Kristine & I am a New England Based Photographer! There is nothing I love more than being there to help you tell your love story. As a wedding photographer the most important part of my job is being sure to capture those REAL moments. I can’t wait to chat! For the quickest response please feel free to reach out to me via my website or on my Instagram- KristineMaryPhotography

From the beginning I felt like Kristine was a friend! We connected on the phone soon after telling her my engagement photo shoot will now be my wedding instead. Kristine was sooo accommodating with this quick change and we really found a connection between us both having a smaller wedding. Kristine made my husband and I feel so comfortable behind the camera which was HUGE for me because I wanted our pictures to feel fun and candid rather than totally posed. Kristine made me feel at ease with all of my late night emails about lighting and timelines etc. She has such a passion for this and you can see it while she is working and with the results of her photos. I’m so happy I found Kristine!!

Fox and Veil Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (7 reviews)
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $4,600
  • Serves East Hartford, CT

We are Maegan and Joe DeCrescenzo, and the little peanut in the picture above is our daughter Juniper. We photograph couples and families during some of their lives most exciting moments. After almost 11 years of photographing weddings together we still get misty eyed at almost every wedding. We know first hand how awkward it can feel to be in front of the camera (umm...what do I do with my hands?), and thankfully know just what to do to make you feel at ease. With a mix of candid and gentle guiding and prompts we make sure you don't just get great photos, you also have a lot of fun.

Here’s a more polished and heartfelt version of your vendor review that emphasizes the “feels like a friend” sentiment: --- Working with Fox and Veil Photography was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From the very start, Megan felt more like a trusted friend than a vendor—someone who genuinely cared about our day and went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. Her communication was seamless and responsive, which made the planning process feel effortless. We were aiming for a timeless, elegant look, and Fox and Veil delivered that beautifully while still capturing the candid, emotional moments that made the day uniquely ours. Megan's attention to detail, calming presence, and ability to keep things moving smoothly were absolutely invaluable. We’re so grateful to have had her by our side on such an important day, and we can’t wait to work with her again for future milestones. We recommend Fox and Veil wholeheartedly to any couple looking for a photography team that is equal parts professional, talented, and genuinely kind.

Carla Ten Eyck Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (5 reviews)
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $4,700
  • Serves East Hartford, CT

Almost 20 years of experience and I still get as excited as I did when I first started photographing events! I got my BFA in photojournalism at Rochester Institute of Technology and my common sense from a well-lived, full life. From intimate weekday elopements to full scale destination events that require a team of photographers, I have done it all. I focus on telling the most full and vibrant story of your event, so you can look back and feel like you didn't missed a thing.

A camera can pick up the visual attraction of a moment, but most times it feels impossible to relive the actual energy of that place in time. Carla - is the absolute key to capturing every ounce of that magical energy. My wedding day was truly the most remarkable day of my life, and every single picture Carla took brings me back to that exact moment in a way I never thought a photo could do. Not only is she a visual genius - but she set the tone for the entire day. Some people in the bridal party who HATE having their picture taken, had so much fun they didn’t even realize they were having a “photo shoot”. Her attention to timing is flawless. Her timeline had every single picture we wanted to get, every friend and family member, every quirky thing I incorporated - and in the most elegant way I could have NEVER imagined. ALSO major plus - her son Jackson is a brilliant videographer. He did our video and their chemistry and vibrant energy was EVERYTHING!!!!! Do yourself a favor - just book her. She’s really busy because she’s so amazing so don’t wait. LOLOLOLOL

I’m Danielle Day, a self-taught photographer, For me, it’s always been about emotion and storytelling capturing the intimate, in-between moments that feel like home. I want your photos to feel like you—natural, timeless, and full of meaning. I’m a little bit of a free spirit—down to earth with a touch of hippy dippy. I love deep talks about life and aliens, spontaneous road trips, a good belly laugh, and creating art that makes people feel something. I promise two things: you’ll laugh until your stomach hurts, and we’ll create beautiful photo memories.

Danielle did our family photos when we first welcomed our daughter, and from that moment on, she’s been our go-to for capturing life’s most meaningful moments. She’s done multiple sessions for us—including our wedding—and each time, I’m even more obsessed with her work. Not only is she incredibly talented, but she’s also an absolute joy to work with. We adore her, both as an artist and as a person. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to preserve their most special memories.

Here's to timeless photography with a shower of romance and a strike of passion. Our wedding day is many things. Bubbling with laughter and lingering in a soft kiss. Impromptu sing-alongs with forever friends and quiet gratitude for this chance to bring everyone together. You deserve imagery that documents your wedding day’s natural cadence with authenticity. That you can hold and cherish. Plus, I come stocked with dad jokes and silly prompts. It's a win-win.

Chris is an absolute gem of a human and is incredibly passionate about his craft. From the first phone call to the final wedding photos, he was a joy to work with, and his work is nothing less than stellar. Our photos came out beautifully. I look forward to hopefully having him photograph more important moments!!

I began capturing images in high school at a young age and fell in love with the process of capturing raw moments on camera. I decided to pursue my dream and go to school in Boston for photography. Alongside this, I have my sociology degree and really understand and connect with so many people. To me, building strong connections with my clients is so important and I find myself being able to easily talk to people of all walks of life. My knowledge of people and passion for photography sparked my pathway into wedding photography; capturing love filled couples and all the emotions that come with getting married.

Working with Deirdre was one of the best parts of our wedding! We were glad to meet her beforehand at the engagement shoot - she really helped us feel comfortable and went above and beyond to get shots in some different locations that held special meaning for us. At the wedding, it is SO good to have a familiar face. She again made not just my husband and I but the whole wedding party feel comfortable. She dealt with family chaos like it was no problem at all (when people tell you that family photos are the most stressful part of the day - BELIEVE THEM). She has an excellent eye for detail and captured some truly beautiful shots. Our sneak peeks are great - I know the full album is going to be special!!

I’m a storyteller. That’s what I’m here to do - document the story of one of your greatest celebrations. My work is heavily focused on the authentic, unplanned moments. My approach is observational and real, creating images that are genuine representations of you, those you love, and the space and moments you share. I create true-to-life images that will bring you back to some of your sweetest, most treasured moments for years to come. If you’re looking for a light-hearted, boisterous creative to work with, you’ve found her. I'm people-centric which means that, I'm focusing on you, your guests, and the real moments you're sharing together.

Awarded Best of Zola
Kaitlin is amazing to work with. As a photographer who has done weddings myself, I had high standards and specific requests that weeded out a lot of people during my search. Kaitlin immediately stood out to me as someone with the ability to capture the essence of a couple. As I browsed her galleries I felt like I knew the couples and their stories by the time I was done. My wife and I are very introverted, shy, and not used to being the center of attention — let alone in front of a camera. After consulting with Kaitlin it was even more clear that she was the perfect photographer for us. Kaitlin listened to our requests, asked us questions to get a better understanding of what sort of coverage we’d like, and checked in multiple times leading up to the wedding day to go over plans. On the day of, Kaitlin was incredible. She set her flash units up perfectly to give a beautiful sense of lighting to our indoor pictures. Kaitlin was quick and professional with our family formals without feeling like she was rushing anyone. We love our newlywed portraits, largely due to how natural it felt to work with her—again this was huge for us as two people who are a bit camera shy. Our reception photos are equally beautiful, she captured meaningful candid moments without feeling like she was standing between us and the moments happening around us. If you’re like my wife and me and aren’t used to being on camera, I would 100% recommend booking a practice session with Kaitlin either for engagement photos or couples’ photos. As a photographer I’m used to being behind the camera and not in front of it. She helped us feel comfortable and it also helped her see how we interact together as a couple. At no point did we feel like Kaitlin was commandeering our schedule to check off boxes on a shot-list. She was seamlessly integrated everything. Genuinely, I cannot recommend Kaitlin enough. Working with her is like having a best friend there take your wedding photos.

Becky was amazing from start to finish. We got the sapphire package. This was eight hours of photography and videography a full length video and 3-5 sneak peeks within 72 hours of wedding day. The engagement photos went off amazing. We were so excited for our wedding photos. Wedding day came on point. Becky and her team were phenomenal. They did a couple pose shots. They did a lot of candid. We did some nerdy Star Wars themed photos and everywhere I looked. There was a photographer or Mac who is doing a video anytime. I saw something that I wanted captured if somebody wasn’t already getting it they were immediately on it the quality of photos we got back for our sneak peek(156 photos btw with more to come!) was breathtaking. She was super responsive to text messages. Emails phone calls.

Once they received it they called us to follow up and help us create a timeline for the wedding day.
