Hi, Thanks for reading! Here's my photography short story: 2017, after 13 years of teaching, I said goodbye to the classroom and pursued Olympic weightlifting photography- my company was Everyday Lifters. Shortly after, I launched my wedding business. The Long Version: Weightlifting has taken me to places like Turkmenistan, Germany, & across the country! The weightlifters started getting married, and along the way, I received training to advocate for diverse bodies as a photographer. During this time of transition, I started taking documenting courses through the International Center of Photography and work on documenting local stories.

Choosing a photographer is always hard, it is even more nerve racking when choosing your wedding photographer. That wasn’t the case when we met and connected with Viviana. Viviana from the start was able to put us at ease and was incredibly welcoming. She was very open and helpful as we navigated the planning process. During the day of our wedding we felt like we were in safe and good hands. We didn’t feel like we had to act a certain way or pose in an inauthentic manner. We felt at ease and like our true selves throughout. Viviana’s approach and warmth helped us be our true selves and embrace the day to its fullest. When we received the photos we were thrilled about how they all came out. We loved that each picture captured a special moment on our special day. Whether that was at our first look, ceremony, or when we hit the dance floor. We included pictures to our friends along with our thank you notes. It was an absolute pleasure to partner with Viviana on our wedding day photography. We highly recommend her and her work for your wedding!

Reese is one of those rare humans that radiates sunshine - both in her soul, and in her work. Reese photographed our Engagement Shoot and our Elopement/Micro-Wedding, and she was an absolute gem to work with. She made us feel so incredibly comfortable as two people who are usually camera-shy, and we truly had so much fun! Her energy, passion, and spirit shined through every moment and every photograph - and I am so grateful that she was able to capture these magic moments for us.

Love, Jackie Wedding Photography

  • Serves Ellington, CT

Hi I'm Jackie, and I literally love my job! I’m a New England-based photographer for the last 18 years. I have to admit though, I love taking this one woman show on the road and travel makes me the happiest. I have been lucky enough to shoot destination weddings in England, Iceland, and Alaska. I would describe my photography style as very laid back and natural. The little in between moments make for the best photos, and I’m not about capturing awkward prom poses and forced smiles. I want the real stuff - the stuff that’ll make you laugh till your cheeks hurt and will make your heart beat faster.

Jackie was the best to work with. I'm not huge on being photographed, but she was great at making us feel comfortable. She was also easy to get in touch with, responding to emails within a few days. I'm glad we did an engagement shoot to get to know her a little before the wedding day and help ease the photography anxiety. We got a handful of sneak peek shots a few weeks after the wedding, which was exciting, followed by the full set of photos a few weeks after that. The photos are beautiful and capture our day perfectly. I don't even remember seeing her at the ceremony I was so focused on everything else, but she captured it and all our emotions beautifully. She also was very good at getting through the portrait photos quickly, as I had a lot of family members to move around. Very happy to have worked with her.

With nearly two decades of experience capturing weddings, I've honed my craft into an art form. As a lifelong New Yorker, the city is my canvas. I’m not just a photographer; I’m your insider, offering expert recommendations to make your special day truly unforgettable. My passion for preserving love stories is the driving force behind every image I create.

When you book Susan, you book an entire team. I was so confident the whole night that photos were completely handled because Susan's team was ON TOP of it. Before I even thought about a shot, they were already taking it. It didn't feel cheesy and they were so fun to work with. Susan was very patient and kind with me too whenever we did pre-wedding calls and I was an utter mess trying to plan everything.

We cannot say enough great things about Angelica and her team! We are one of those awkward people that don't take many photos, but thanks to our engagement session and our wedding photos, along with Angelica's coaching, we looked great in our photos and always had a blast in our photo shoots! Our wedding and engagement photos are amazing. When we think we were feeling awkward, our photos just show us in-love and having fun. There are many romantic photos that cater to my personality, and my husband loves the editorial look of many shots. Angelica is worth saving up and booking. We are glad our friend recommended her.

Hi, I’m Nicole (she/her) - a Rhode Island-based wedding photographer. I have more than a decade of experience shooting weddings of all kinds - and today, I work collaboratively with my couples to create photos that evoke how their day felt. Photos of honest and emotional interactions; small details that hold weight and meaning; effortless portraits that capture the feel of the surrounding space or landscape. The result is a narrative visual story of enduring human connections, and a chronicle of emotional moments that they can revisit time and time again.

Nicole is absolutely phenomenal. She is kind, funny, professional, smart, and supportive throughout the entire wedding process. She made my husband and I feel comfortable, constantly checked in with our needs, and is incredibly talented. I've only gotten the sneak peeks back so far but we are THRILLED at how our photos turned out. Thank you Nicole (& Amanda)!!! We loved working with both of them on our day.

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!

This might surprise you...Prior to photography, I was a professional concert dancer. So I understand what it's like to be in the spotlight. And I understand how to use my training as a dancer to make you look stunning in front of the camera. I know the mechanics of the body and how to pose you to look your best. And on your wedding day, that is exactly how you should feel.

We are wedding videographers (Savstrom Studios) who recently had the privilege of working alongside Lauren at a styled photo shoot in St. Paul. We have known Lauren for awhile and love her work so it was a lot fun getting to work together and seeing her creative process. Lauren has incredible talent for styling, directing, and posing couples, as well as capturing wedding details. She does an amazing job capturing everything she needs, collaborating with other vendors, and keeping the atmosphere fun for everyone. Highly recommend Lauren for couples looking for beautiful, timeless photos and an amazing client experience!

When you elope in the middle of a pandemic, it matters all the more that you love your photographer--since they'll be the only other person at your wedding. :) And in short, we couldn't be happier that ours was Shawnee. She has such a gift and a love for the work she does—and it shows. We knew she was the right person from the moment we met on Zoom--she is warm and kind, asked all the right questions, and instantly put us at ease. My partner and I eloped at the end of October 2020 in DC, just before the election. It was a whirlwind moment for so many reasons, especially as a queer couple. And it mattered to us that the person who captured those treasured memories, really understood what that moment meant to us. Everyone who sees our photos marvels at how wonderful they are—and no doubt we look great, but Shawnee’s warmth and direction and stellar eye really made all the difference. Vibing with your photographer matters—we’re so grateful to have found one with such grace and as much love for her art as Shawnee. <3

No matter your size, race, gender, sexual orientation or religion, we're here to hype you up as you share all your wildest wedding ideas with us!

Meaghan and Evan photographed our Halloween wedding and we couldn't imagine having anyone else! We met Meaghan and Evan last October when they shot our engagement photos. They were more than willing to trudge through our favorite park and stop at all our favorite spots to get some beautiful photos we used for our save the date. We got to get to know them a little more over at our favorite little ramen restaurant after the session and of course we were instantly sold! Meaghan was super communicative and responded to every email I sent her pretty much right away every single time. As we got closer to the wedding day, she sent an incredibly detailed questionnaire. It covered everything from our most important shots to what weird family dynamics she should be conscious of; we sincerely appreciated this level of care, especially as a queer couple with some iffy family things. When I was hiring vendors, it was extremely important to me to find vendors who were queer/queer friendly and body positive, and Meaghan checked off both boxes in spades. My wife and I both have huge body insecurities and are deeply self-conscious of photos-but Meaghan made us both feel so beautiful. I was never even aware of the parts of myself I am usually hyper aware of because Meaghan and Evan both made us feel so comfortable. We were able to laugh and feel every emotion without once worrying about how we would look in the photos. On the day of, Meaghan kept us right on track without rushing us or making us feel stressed. We were definitely running behind at points but Meaghan handled it all with grace and helped me keep my head above water the whole time. They captured every moment in such a storybook way that we are able to talk about and remember every detail of the day based on the photos. This gallery is such a keepsake and such a special reminder of the best day of our lives. Its so heartwarming to look back and see how happy we and our guests look. And my wife and I both couldn’t have asked for more stunning photos of ourselves. We both look and feel so feminine, so whimsical, so magical. She captured our authentic selves, which is what makes her photos so unique and beautiful. I can't wait to order our prints and have these photos in our home forever! Thank you, Meaghan and Evan. There's so much more I could say but I'll leave off with, we are so grateful to have had you on our day. We love our photos so much. And we can't wait to have you do another shoot for us sometime in the near future! We cannot recommend you highly enough!

My name is Melissa Kelly! I am a Boston Metrowest based wedding photographer! I live in Grafton, MA with my wonderful husband and my two energetic boys! Photography has been a family hobby for my entire life! My father and I have always shared a special bond over our creative and artistic side and my maternal grandfather even had a dark room IN his home! It's in my blood! I am so excited to be able to share my passion with others!

Photography by Melissa Kelly was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. Melissa was extremely responsive and very easy to talk to throughout the entire process. Her communication style put us at ease and made the experience truly enjoyable. The quality of her work is authentic, professional, and simply excellent. Working with her was a blast - even when things got a little crazy, she had an amazing way of calming everyone down and reassuring us that everything would turn out just fine. Melissa is an incredible photographer who is super friendly and really knows how to make you feel comfortable in front of the camera. We are thrilled with the beautiful photos she captured of our special day.

Kathi Littwin Photography

  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $6,000
  • Serves Ellington, CT

Kathi brings to wedding photography her artistic vision, and creates evocative images of your event. Her coverage tells the story of the day with truth, style, emotion and attention to details. Eloquent visual narratives are primarily candids, complemented by formals, still lifes, and scenics in both black & white and color.

Kathi was very professional. She talked with use beforehand about what kind of pictures we wanted and also gave us some great ideas about picture ideas we didn't think of. Her knowledge and experience really came in handy as we had a time crunch for pictures. The pictures came out beautiful and it was easy to access them digitally as well as order the prints we wanted.

When we are not working we are outdoors or sitting by the fire. We love traveling to places where the earth is at its greatest. Our superpower is that we know what you are thinking. lol. Our style is Honest, Emotional, Intuitive, and Real. We love traveling anywhere in the world, as long as we're together!

I have the unique experience of being a wedding planner that works with JAG Studios and this past year as a client renewing her vows! I can tell you that they are truly gifted artists and are able to read their clients exceptionally well. They create and forge lasting bonds and capture not just the wedding but every single special moment and detail flawlessly. Every client is blown away by their work, and if your looking to have an amazing photo experience, then JAG is who you should go with. As a client, renewing my ten-year anniversary vows, I wanted a photographer that could capture the years and moments that it took myself and my husband to get to this point. To be very honest, I was pretty freaked about having my photos taken; I am a behind the scenes gal! However, both Jacklyn and Chris not only made us 100% relax, but I barely knew they were taking photos, and when all was said and done and the showed us the end product both my husband and I cried for days because it was more beautiful then we could have ever imagined. They captured who we were as a couple, and as individuals and every moment, moments I did not even think about will forever be in an amazing photograph. Jaclyn Watson Events

My couples mean the world to me. I love hearing their stories, what makes them tick, and the things that are important to them. It’s my goal to capture them exactly the way they are; how they crack jokes, poke fun, dance together, hold one another. I’m there to capture the genuine tears, the laughs, how you just fit so well together. With directive posing, I bring out real chemistry and personalities. With my laid back vibe, I’ll ensure even the photo-heavy parts of the day are a breeze. I believe every single part of a wedding should be a blast and that every couple should be celebrated in their own unique way.

I could not have asked for a better person to capture my wedding! On our wedding day, it poured rain and I was absolutely devastated that the outdoor wedding I had been dreaming of was not happening. As I was sitting there faced with that reality, about to ruin my makeup with tears, Andrea swooped in like a superhero and genuinely made me feel like the rain was a good thing. She was the only voice of reason that made me feel like everything was still perfect. She ran around in the rain with us all day capturing the most gorgeous photos and I didn’t feel like I missed out at all. She was prepared with clear umbrellas and we actually had fun! She is also just so talented, the pictures and the saturation are just absolutely gorgeous, and not only that but she also has an absolute talent for capturing joy and movement. All my vendors have chosen to use her photos from my wedding on their websites, seriously just hire her!!!

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, I'm Addie. I started this business about 10 years ago, although photography has been a passion of mine since high school. What attracted me to photography is the idea of capturing the fleeting: be they big moments or small, capturing something priceless never gets old for me. When you look at a photo, you are transported back to instant it was taken. Even if your memory is foggy, a photo will sharpen it up. Photos are records and reminders, memories and wormholes in time. Helping to preserve those fleeting moments for my clients is so fulfilling and one of the things I love most about what I do.

Awarded Best of Zola
Dave and I hired Addie on a whim after having to reschedule our wedding twice and then ultimately deciding to elope in Boston closer to our families. Living in Colorado, we didn't have the opportunity to meet Addie before our elopement, but that didn't stop her from making us feel incredibly relaxed and comfortable. We cannot have been more thrilled by the experience she created, her professionalism, and commitment to ensuring that we captured all our important moments and more that day. We were also so thrilled with the photos she took. We are so grateful to have worked with Addie and cannot recommend her more for your special occassion!

I've been in love with the art of photography for as long as I can remember, and I'm truly blessed to be able to pursue my passion every day. Growing up all over the world (Sweden, India, and Denmark to name a few!), my love of photography grew from my desire to capture the places and people I wanted to remember the most. What I love most is the incredible honor of being part of your special day and capturing the deep emotions behind the photograph.

Nithya is a wonderful photographer- very easy to work with and flexible. We just received our pictures and they’re exactly what I asked for! Nithya was such a calming presence during our wedding and extremely professional and helpful. We’re both people who are a bit camera shy which probably made Nithya’s job so much harder - and yet - she made every effort to make us comfortable.

I did not not grow up with a camera in my hand knowing I wanted to be a photographer. I started with photography by photographing Punk/Hardcore bands but eventually stopped photographing those shows because I didn't want my camera gear to get broken by someone stagediving. Being apart of that music scene help me cultivate friendships with people all over the world, and gave me lots of travel opportunities. Those experiences carried over into weddings helping me understand real documentary style moments and being comfortable surrounded by new people.

Yaritza was amazing to work with! She was the best we could have asked for. So nice and considerate and just perfect for our wedding!
