Sokol & Co Photo

  • Serves Essex, CT for additional fees

Here's what you should know: First, it's pronounced Sokol like 'vocal'. We're Polish... like kraut-and-pierogi-at-every-family-gathering-Polish. Second, we're a husband and wife wedding photography duo that believes it's the little things that make the story come to life. From the knowing glances across a crowded room to the hand squeezes when you're about to walk down the aisle, you can trust us to capture your most romantic, candid moments.

I first “met” Savannah through Instagram and instantly fell in love with her work. After about two years of following her I was lucky enough to win a session with her! Those pictures were probably some of the best pictures ever taken of us. She even was able to work with my request of making me “not look pregnant” when I was 5 months along and she killed it!! Quickly after I knew I needed her as our wedding photographer. We booked our date around her schedule and it is something that I would do again and again if I had to. She truly tells a story with her photos and not to mention is a breeze to work with (as well as being one of the sweetest people you will meet)!

We originally found Thalia on TikTok and she captured the most magical engagement photos for us in NYC (we’re from Melbourne, Australia). She then made our absolutely dreams come true and agreed to come to Melbourne to shoot our wedding!!!!!!!! We had the most magical week with her and she made our friends and family feel so comfortable in front of the camera, and she captured the most incredible moments for us. Due to a mix up with our officiant on the day, we couldn’t actually get legally married - so we’ll be going to city hall in NYC next month and you BEST BELIEVE Thalia will be joining us for a THIRD time to capture our lil city hall marriage day! We’ve found not only a lifetime photographer, but a lifetime friend.

I am a photographer and artist from the Pacific Northwest with Costa Rican and Scottish roots. My favorite things are dinosaurs, exploring new cities, board games, soccer, National Parks, and whiskey. I have been fortunate to photograph 200+ weddings in my PNW home, to ruins in Scotland, cityscapes in Vietnam, to the beaches of Maui, and beyond! I live in Portland, Oregon with my partner, two dogs, and four cats | 🏳️‍🌈🦖⛰️✈️📸⚽🫶🏼🌈🌲🦕🏝 Fun Fact: I was born on Leap Year Day so I turn 9 this year 🥳!

Awarded Best of Zola
I have used many photographers in the past but none came close to the level of expertise that Leah possesses. Over the years, I've done business headshots with her, family photos, and most recently my wedding. Since I have used Leah's services for other things before, I knew what to expect as far as photo-quality goes; the real testimonial comes from how she handled the wedding. Shooting a wedding in another country with a chaotic family is no easy task, even I wouldn't wish it upon myself, but Leah truly knocked it out of the park: she checked in before the event day to go over the schedule, showed up early, got all of the extra shots that I requested, directed people, and just really took charge of the experience. Having her as my wedding photographer was literally one of the only non-stressful decisions I made for that event lol. The photos turned out beautifully, I really can't imagine having anyone else capture one of the most important events of my life. I recommend her wholeheartedly!!

With Salty Broad Studios, you can rest assured that your moments are in capable hands so you can relax and enjoy your wedding day to the absolute fullest.

Awarded Best of Zola
Christine was totally amazing! We loved her from our first meeting with her. She was very responsive and communicative and helped us prepare for things like the detail shots of the dress, rings, etc. It was of course a little hectic when she arrived the day of the wedding, but she jumped right in and got to work without needing me to stop what I was doing and direct her. The second shooter she hired, Jackie, was also amazing and got some incredible shots of my husband getting ready. The photos came out INCREDIBLE. One of the reasons we went with Christine is because of her speciality in candid photos, and they did not disappoint. Looking at the photos, they totally captured the magic of the day; it felt like I was reliving every perfect moment. She went above and beyond to get some incredible posed shots as well, from climbing down the jetty into the ocean at low tide to get a shot of us from below to creating a perfect shot of us through a porthole window in the door to the bar. I 100% recommend Christine for your wedding photography. She clearly loves what she does and goes above and beyond to make sure our perfect day is captured forever.

Swoyer Photography 

5.0

  • Serves Essex, CT for additional fees

I love what I do. I found my way to professional photography in a roundabout way, having started my working career as a marine scientist and environmental educator in CA and then on Maui. After years immersed in the ocean and hundreds of hours spent underwater, I realized that I was happiest on days when I could adventure freely with a camera in hand. The drive to learn more and become a better photographer lead me back to school on the east coast, where I ended up finding a new dream career and a home and community that I love.

Laura was an absolute dream to work with. Throughout all the ups and downs of a DIY wedding (during COVID, no less), she was an unfailingly kind, warm, organized, and supportive presence. Emailing back and forth with her immediately felt like a collaboration with an old friend, and completing an included engagement session before our wedding was the perfect opportunity to test out which poses felt most natural. At many weddings we have been to, the photographer is either working around the edges or constantly orchestrating complex formal portraits. Laura, however, was able to achieve an ideal mix of formal and candid shots that reflected our relaxed celebration and allowed us to be fully present with our guests throughout the day. She is uniquely thoughtful in her process, including asking us about family dynamics and personalities, and that attention to detail is reflected in the wonderful authenticity and ease captured in our photos. Last but not least, Laura is incredibly fun! She made us laugh and kept us present in the moment, and our guests and families were equally impressed and pleased to work with her. We cannot recommend her more highly. If she is available for your wedding, book her!

I'm Katherine, a wedding photographer based in Oakland, CA. With over a decade of experience and features in Vogue, Brides, The New York Times, and more, I know how to create wedding photos that don’t just look stunning — they feel like you. No trendy filters, no forced poses, just authentic moments that reflect who you are. I believe the best moments aren’t staged. They unfold naturally, in the quiet glances, the belly laughs, and those unspoken connections shared with your loved ones. My goal is to capture those raw, in-between moments that truly make your wedding day yours!

Katherine was amazing to work with! She shot both our engagement and city hall photos and we could not have asked for a better partner. She was super patient with us and gave us great direction since we were both a little awkward in front of the camera. She always came prepared and made sure at City Hall she was able to get great shots from all the key places we had discussed. Bonus points, our parents loved the experience and the pictures!

Hey there! Since you are trusting me to capture these special moments in your life, I figured you should probably know a bit about me, right? I am a Huntsville, Alabama native, but moved to Nashville after graduating from the University of Alabama in 2013. ROLL TIDE! Although I consider Nashville home, I am anything but a homebody. I love traveling and exploring new places (especially the food at those places!). I even studied abroad in Italy, which let me tell you, was a food lover's dream. I have always felt like an old soul trapped in a millennial’s body. I would rather listen to Frank Sinatra than anything on the radio today.

Awarded Best of Zola
Diana was absolutely amazing and I would 100% recommend her to anyone with no hesitation. From initial contact on, Diana was understanding of our concerns, given that we had had an issue with a previous photographer, and truly worked to reassure us and gain our trust. She was flexible, so positive and personable and of course, the photos we’ve seen so far are absolutely gorgeous and we can’t wait to see the rest. Our friends and family raved about Diana and her assistant Sarah, and told us how wonderful and friendly they were, that they felt like they were really on top of it, addressed any concerns that they had and just overall were an absolute pleasure to be around and had such a positive impact on our day. If you’re reading this and are on the fence about hiring Diana, which I don’t understand how you could be, let this be your sign to work with her. You will have no regrets and you will absolutely love your photos!

If you're the kind of couple that would prefer their photographer feel like one of the guests as opposed to a paparazzi, and if when the neighbors complain about the noise, you just invite them to the party, keep reading. I take a documentary-style approach to my weddings. Roaming with a camera, I capture the candid moments and small details that make your wedding unique to you, while making sure to set aside time for a few special portraits.

Awarded Best of Zola
Working with Steph was amazing! I got to witness her dodge, stop, and, at times, direct traffic to capture the most epic shots on our wedding day (it was very slow-moving and not life-endangering but it truly meant a lot to me that she cared that much). Our #1 priority was that our wedding day didn't feel like a collection of photo shoots and she delivered 100%. We, of course, had specific family and couple portraits that we wanted to capture and she was an awesome, collaborative partner to figure out the best flow for all of that. Once the ceremony/reception started, Steph and her co-photog, Lou, just went with the flow. They captured the emotion and sentiment of the sweeter parts of the day and our reception pics are an absolute VIBE! We're featured in a lot of the reception photos, naturally, and for many of the photos I can't recall seeing a photographer or having that posed candid feeling. From the moment we had our first meeting with Steph, I knew she would be the one. We got along with her really well which was something that was important to us. She's very laid back and cool which was helpful to balance how chaotic wedding planning feels. She is also very clearly a professional which was another super important thing to us. She knew how to prompt us if we weren't asking enough or the right questions, she knew how to put words to our ideal photo vision when all we could do was provide vague descriptor words, and she knew how to direct/pose us when we didn't know what to do with our awkward bodies. Steph and her team are awesome - I cannot recommend enough!

What if your photos actually looked and felt like you? Picture yourself 10 years from now on your wedding anniversary looking back at your wedding album with tears welling up in your eyes as you relive your day. Your wedding should not feel like a performance. Let go of boring wedding traditions, think outside of the box and create something unique that has never been done before. Whatever the perfect day looks like for you, why shouldn’t that be your wedding day? I am more than your wedding photographer, I am your guide, biggest fan, and the curator of your love story, I will also be the one tearing up from behind my lens.

We are so lucky to have had Danielle photograph our wedding! She is the BEST, so creative & talented, and makes you feel so comfortable. We have gotten countless compliments saying how professional and amazing she is, and we couldn’t agree more. We cannot wait to see all of our wedding photos come back and relive our special day all over again. We are so grateful for Danielle’s professionalism and artistry.

She provided us with her wedding guide, which gave us insight into who she is. When we met remotely, I instantly knew she was the one. She was enthusiastic, listened attentively, and asked us questions about what is important to us leading up to the wedding and beyond. She was great to work with, and I knew what to expect. She drafted our timeline, offered recommendations, and helped us design it based on what was important to my husband and me. She curated a family shot list, and let me tell you, she did not disappoint. Her and her team were amazing.

It all started with COVID-19—not fully, but pretty much. Before I found my passion for weddings, It was during these intimate ceremonies that I realized wedding photography was what I was truly meant to do. But I’m going to let you in on something I’ve never really shared before—I don't like my wedding photos. I didn't connect with my wedding photographer, I went with the cheaper option and it totally shows in my pictures. That’s why connecting with you, your fiancé, your family, and your friends is so important to me.

My biggest passion in life is travel and photography. My goal is to share the latter with you! Whether you are just newly engaged or planning for your special day I would love to create moments and memories with you! I love photographing in places around the city. If I'm not photographing at the Boston Public Garden then I am roaming the streets of back bay and Copley Square or taking in the Boston Harbor views.

Salma is one of the most incredible photographers I have the pleasure of working with. She is communicative and has an eye for the shots that matter most to clients. It's as if she can read their minds. She is optimistic, always easy to work with, and is a wonderful team player. On a wedding day, she often goes above and beyond typical photographer duties- making sure everything is running on time, making sure everyone is comfortable, and helping carry bags and gowns are some of the many things she typically does alongside shooting. Absolutely incredible service and beautiful photography!

For as long as I can remember, I’ve felt most at home when I was creating art. I fell in love with photography at the age of 13, when I realized I could create art out of the moments that were already happening around me. Fast forward a bit...I've now been working as a professional photographer for over 5 years, and have had the pleasure of shooting many gorgeous weddings all over New England. I love capturing bold, fun, colorful, creative, and authentic images that you can look back at with an enormous smile on your face for years to come.

Awarded Best of Zola
Ari was so wonderful and easy to work with for our wedding! She made the experience fun and the pictures came out so great. She had fantastic suggestions on where and when to take pictures, and made sure we got those beautiful golden hour photos! It wasn’t just me (the bride) who thought so either - my husband absolutely loved the photos and my sister ended up booking Ari for her wedding also! We also had Ari do our engagement shoot and she was so excited to highlight our personalities, taking photos in our garden, with our chickens and with our kitties! Thank you Ari for your attention and care with our big day! We will cherish these photos forever.

I'm Abby! and I’m hopelessly obsessed with love. There’s nothing like watching a couple look into each other’s eyes and realize they just got married. Being able to capture that moment- and then deliver it to the couple to keep forever- it’s truly the best. I’m here to capture so much more than just memories. I’m here to capture feeling. . The sweet glances that make your fingertips tingle. The look that makes your heart thump in your chest. The loopy butterflies in your stomach as you’re about to walk down the aisle. Those feelings. The photos I produce allow you to hold those feelings in your hand, and keep them safe for eternity.

Awarded Best of Zola
ABBY IS INCREDIBLE. I booked Abby after another photographer I had booked was no longer able to do the job. I was in such a funk and I was terrified to find someone new. Abby had such a great vibe from the start and her skills are clearly magic. She made us feel comfortable right from the start. We had a blast together at our engagement shoot and I felt so safe for my wedding that I didn’t even feel the need to give her specific “shots” just the overall vibes! She read me and my vibe and knocked it out of the park. She was not just my photographer on my wedding day, she was a friend! I’m so lucky to call her a friend now, even after our wedding! Booking Abby will be one thing you absolutely do not regret! DO IT!
