Carey MacArthur Photography 

5.0

  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $9,500
  • Serves East Hartford, CT for additional fees

My images are a blend of formal photographic training and a passion for telling stories with pictures. I specialize in capturing natural, candid moments. I approach wedding photography as a documentarian with a deep love of family and a great respect for ritual.

I cannot recommend Carey enough. We were supposed to get married a month after the pandemic hit and changed our wedding date 4 times as a result. Carey was so understanding, patient, and such a pleasure to work with throughout the stressful process (of what spanned to almost 2 years). Moreover, I appreciate Carey's easy going nature which makes everything much more comfortable and effortless (in front of the camera as well). We received countless compliments on how amazing she is. And her photos--well they speak for itself. Carey did our engagement, elopement, and wedding shoot and I love every single photo she takes. I cannot recommend Carey enough!

I hired Nijah as my makeup artist for my November ‘23 wedding and I could not have been happier with my experience. From contracts, payment schedules, my trial, and wedding day, she had fantastic communication throughout the whole process. Not only is she a highly skilled makeup artist but she has a calming and nurturing personality which is everything for an anxious bride! She made sure I knew that her main focus was to make me happy and she absolutely did. I cannot recommend her enough!

Matt was absolutely spectacular from the moment that we reached out to him to the end of our cocktail hour. We wanted something different for our ceremony and our cocktail hour. My husband is a huge fan of Jurassic Park and he did a beautiful acoustic version of the theme song for the ceremony as well as an acoustic version of Stevie Ray Vaughan. His communication was prompt, and he sent multiple variations of samples of his songs months in advance. All of our guests enjoyed him and we’re singing his praises. We highly recommend.

Would give my absolute highest recommendation as THE photographer to book in the Northeast!

Awarded Best of Zola
When we started talking about what we wanted out of a wedding, we decided an intimate ceremony was best for us. We wanted to find someone who could capture the little details of our day without the typical "posed" photos. We are so lucky to have come across Josie at Give. We had multiple Facetime conversations with her and from the beginning, we knew she would be great to work with. She was one of those people we just clicked with and immediately understood what we wanted: Her style of photography, her personality, the charitable donations, etc etc. The day of our wedding was super humid (yay Maryland in August), but she did not skip a beat and did not rush us from one point to another - we tried out some posed and "classic" photos but overall she got the "documentary/candid" styles we were looking for. We are so happy with all the photos she took and grateful to have such gorgeous memories to look back on!

Was referred to ESA from someone in my opinion whom was less than professional in her communication. So there was a little trepidation at first. However, from our first interaction with Christena at ESA to the end of the event Christena conducted herself in a professional and exceptional manner. From her initial communication, to vendor recommendations to all of the questionnaires to ensure the events moved smoothly were all investments that showed Christena cared. We used ESA for day of wedding coordination as well as a surprise birthday party the day before the wedding g. Yep, busy, busy, busy. Christena was there for a walk through at the venue which was 2 hours from her home base. She stayed in contact throughout the months leading up the the events and take the lead with vendor a onto or so before. She helped to keep us on track and was available via email with short turn around times. Although their was a LOT of planning prior to the wedding, Christena was more than helpful keeping us on track and ensuring the wedding day could be enjoyed without worrying about last minute pop up issues, and there were a few. Her team was able to resolve a bartender issue causing minimal interruption for guests. In the end Christena felt more like a guest as much as a vendor for each event. We are grateful for the service Christena provided and would highly recommend her and her company, ESA to anyone wanting a coordinator to help ease the stresses of such and important and joyous day!!

Stephen James Films made the best wedding videos we could have imagined and we are so happy that we have the videos to last for the rest of our lives! We initially did not plan to hire a videographer for our wedding and I'm so happy we changed that mindset! We had conveniently met them at another wedding, just a few months prior while my husband was fascinated by their drone. We instantly connected and started chatting about the what if they came to our wedding. After seeing some of their previous videos, we knew we needed to have them come. Throughout planning, we kept them in the loop and got to know them more as we finalized the plans. Stephen and Rosie travel throughout the country and included a date night video in our package which we got to know them further and spend some fun time outside of wedding talk with them. This was such a unique offer and while it was only a 60sec video, the quality of what was produced from being on a date night with them really made us know we made the right decision. The videos from our wedding were quickly turned around and we have had multiple friends ask us for their contact. They got all the details and channeled our vision and vibes from the wedding to the videos.

Veronica Nunes- Freelance Makeup Artist

I've been passionate about beauty ever since I could remember. I grew up with extremely sensitive skin and, thanks to my mother who was religious about her morning and evening skin care routines, understood the importance of quality skin and makeup products. I found that the communications and business skills acquired from my undergraduate studies would carry over when building my own business. From there, I shadowed and assisted numerous makeup artists in upstate New York, NYC and Boston and went out on my own in 2011. In May 2018, I graduated from the 600-hour Advanced Esthetics program from Catherine Hinds Institute of Esthetics.

Veronica was an absolute dream to have as our makeup artist for our wedding! All my girls absolutely LOVED her, my bridal makeup was absolutely perfect, I felt so beautiful. She really took the time to make sure everything was perfect, her communication was phenomenal and her super sweet friendly demeanor put everyone at ease on such a busy morning. I cannot recommend her high enough- book Veronica to make your wedding makeup everything you dreamed- just like she did for me!

First, if you took all the photography away, Franzi and Martin will enhance your wedding day just by being a part of it. They are warm, funny and fit right in with the gals/guys and families. They also got along and coordinated so well with our venue, floral designer and planner - everyone loved working with them. We all felt so comfortable around them and this is reflected in the natural, beautiful photos. They are also incredibly professional, prepared and organized. The morning of the wedding, they had already scouted and planned all of the locations for the first look, family and bridal party photos, and husband/wife shots. We didn’t have to do or think about a thing in terms of photos the entire day - we just followed their lead! During the ceremony and reception, they were so subtle in taking their photos. We were able to enjoy the day without it feeling like a photoshoot. The photos were simply stunning. We have gotten so many compliments on how unique and personal our photos are. Most importantly, they feel like us, because Franzi and Martin got to know us throughout this process. We had such a hard time putting together an album because we had too many favorites to choose from! One of the guiding values for choosing our wedding vendors was to find true artists who are passionate about their craft and then trust them to work their magic. Franzi and Martin are just that - artists. We wanted them to have complete creative control and freedom and would encourage everyone who works with them to do the same - your photos will be gorgeous, and your wedding day memories will be made better because Franzi and Martin were there.

My name is, yensy marquez Born in the Dominican Republic where I spent my early childhood before moving to the United States at the age of 5. I have always had love for the arts and music. I spent my teenage years drawing cartoons and Japanase manga. I discovered my love for photography during my late teenage years when I got my hands on my first cellphone with a camera. I was always the go to picture person during family events and gatherings. Though they were admittedly average at the time, everyone loved them and always encouraged me to get a real camera. I finally saved up for one and never looked back.

Awarded Best of Zola
Yensy was amazing! He offered us an engagement session where we met and he took great shots. He even included my mom in some of the photos, which was a nice surprise. He was prompt to our wedding day events and he took photos exactly how I asked. He provided a small sample of photos within 24 hours of our ceremony and we loved them all. And his pricing was simple, clear and affordable. I would definitely book Yensy again for future special celebrations. Thank you, Yensy!

WE LOVED STANLEY AND HIS ASSISTANT ALLIE! Once we saw their work we fell in love and thought we HAVE to book him. It was definitely one of the higher things in the budget, but I don’t regret it one bit. I loved Stanley’s packages because they are fairly simple with lots of add ons that we were able to choose. On our special day they were able to capture every single important moment. We got our teaser trailer back THE NEXT DAY after the wedding! I was just in shock and super emotional watching it barely having any sleep the day after! Not only is the work beautiful but their service is exceptional. I wish I could recommend them to literally everyone!

A luxury beauty experience for the modern woman! My beauty philosophy is simple, "When you look good you feel good. When you feel good you do better".I started Nina Renee beauty because I believe that we all deserve to have the celebrity-style beauty experience of our dreams. As a high-end makeup artist servicing some of Washington DC's most prestigious residents for over eight years, I always found it hard to find my "Glam team".

Awarded Best of Zola
I would recommend NRBeauty Co. to any bride to be. Nina is incredibly attentive and communicative in addition to being transparent about her pricing. Andrea and Andejla were my glam team, and I absolutely loved their work, as did the rest of my bridal party. The makeup and hair lasted for at least 12 hours (likely more). NRBeauty Co. was by far the most professional team I communicated with. I appreciated the portal Nina managed which included all communications, invoices, and glam guides. My bridal party also appreciated the Google form they submitted in advance of the day to share their inspo & desired looks! Nina also confirmed when the glam team was en route the day of the wedding, which was highly appreciated given how stressful the morning-of can be. To top it all off, they ran on time / ahead of schedule the day of the wedding!

She took the time to understand our vision, even using pictures of my grandparent's cake and details of my dress as inspiration to perfectly capture what we wanted. Throughout the planning process, she was accommodating to our requests, attentive to every detail we provided, and made sure the final products felt personalized to us as a couple. The end result not only looked beautiful but tasted delicious too.

We used Pepe for our Nov 2021 wedding. We are so glad we used him. Not only were photographs absolutely what we were looking for to capture our special day but he was a joy to work with.

I am here to make sure everyone at your event has a memorable time. I create a custom vibe for every event, no two events are the same. I bring experience and a great attitude to not only make the music part of your special day seamless but also make planning and decision making painless.

Our wedding wouldn't have been the same without DJ Mot. From start to finish, he delivered an unforgettable experience that had everyone on their feet and dancing the night away. We've been told countless times that our wedding was the best ever, and a huge part of that is thanks to DJ Mot. His ability to read the crowd and keep the energy high and the dance floor packed is insane. Every track he played was a banger, and he seamlessly transitioned between genres to keep everyone entertained. It was clear that DJ Mot understands music and knows how to create an atmosphere that everyone enjoys. Beyond his incredible music skills, DJ Mot was a true professional. He handled any unforeseen issues with ease, ensuring that everything ran smoothly throughout the night. By the end of the evening, DJ Mot had become more than just our DJ; he was a part of the party. We even found ourselves chanting his name as he kept the celebration going strong. We are so grateful to DJ Mot for his talent, dedication, and for making our wedding day truly unforgettable.

If I could give more than 5 stars I would. Lydia and her team took care of things that I didn't even know about. Not only was everything seamless on the wedding day, but for the entire month prior (we booked the month-of package). If you're on the fence about hiring a wedding planner, do it. Hands down the best decision we made for our wedding!!

If I had a superpower, it would be celebrating people. I'm my friends' biggest cheerleader and I'll be yours too during this whole process! As a documentary wedding photographer, I focus more on being in the moment and letting you be YOU, by reminding you why you fell in love in the first place.

When you choose Loretta, you’re not just selecting a wedding photographer. You’re making a new friend. Loretta - and her husband Juan - have been such a blessing to us throughout the entire process. From our first zoom meeting where her genuine good & joyful spirit came through the screen, to turning an engagement photoshoot into a fun double date at our favorite pizza place. The person she is truly separates her from anyone else you’ll select for your big day, not to mention she has INCREDIBLE skills with the camera. Both the indoor & outdoor portions of our wedding day have their own specific look and we loved the way she portrayed our beach setting AND the dance floor moments in all her photos. OH ONE MORE THING - our reception ended at 11:30pm on a Sunday. She gave us a “sneak peek” of over 100 photos within 12 hours that we were able to share with all our friends & family the next day! Our wedding day/night was such a blur, yet we were able to relive it the next day in every moment that she captured on camera. If you want outstanding customer service, brilliant professional photography and a lifelong friend, Loretta Rodriguez is the way to go!
