Judson Rappaport Photography 

4.8

  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves Groton, CT

I found my love for photography in a high school dark room, and I have continued to follow that passion to find myself today working as a hybrid photographer in both Film and Digital. I strive not to just take pictures, but to capture candid emotions and capture them in a beautiful way. My photography is personal and intimate. My approach is a mixture of fine art and documentary, I try to capture your moments and day as it happened but highlighting the special details and taking advantage of the best lighting. As a lover of history I love capturing personal and family histories that surround weddings.

Awarded Best of Zola
Being a producer, photographer, and a photographer's agent, finding the perfect photographer for our wedding was actually quite a hard decision to make! Luckily, our planner who is also a photographer, recommended Judson to us. We are so grateful to have Judson be a part of our marriage celebration. The pre-planning was very thorough and thoughtful, and she made sure she got all of the information she needed in ahead of time. She came well prepared, was able to wrangle our families who met for the very first time that evening, and made us feel very comfortable and at ease during out portrait session. Judson captured the essence of our celebration, made us and our friends and family look super cute, and documented all the beautiful moments that happened throughout the night. We were truly blessed by her talent and we are so happy to have such wonderful visual documentation of our special day.

Isabelle is a dream to work with, and created the most stunning florals, understated and natural yet gorgeous and striking, which blended beautifully with the natural environment of our venue. The florals were more than decorations - they were works of art. The fact that the plants are chemical free and grown in a sustainable, regenerative environment was a huge selling point for us. The team is reliable, experienced, and so dedicated, and they went above and beyond to turn a vision into reality.

I'm a Boston based weddings & elopement photojournalist serving New England & beyond. My style is authentic, nostalgic, and a calculated blend of soft and romantic + moody and edgy. I think minimalism is lazy and I want you to look at my work and feel something. My goal is to make you feel so present that you forget I have a camera in my hand while I’m photographing you. I believe it’s my job to remind you of how beautiful and fleeting life is. My hope is that after our session is over, my work turns into some of your most cherished memories decorating your home and your hearts.

Caroline is one of the greatest people. She was kind, observant, and extremely professional. Not to mention her work completely speaks for itself. Our previews are absolutely beautiful- she really made our photos a keepsake and I am so happy we were able to work with her.

Video exists in my life as an extension of everything I love about photography. Something drew me to it, and with the ever expanding video modes of my photo cameras, practice became commonplace. Being able to tell storying audibly as well as visually adds a level of depth that is hard to reach within photography. You can feel the story take you through a place in time. Moment capturing in all its beauty.

I have worked with Alex many times over the years. He is always professional, easy to work with, and very down to earth. He is a great communicator for when he needs to be away from the main location to capture those special photos of the couple or family, such as sunset pics or other special spots.

Vitamin m is for those that want the organic and spontaneous vibe that only a group of great live musicians can supply for an event. Our world class band performances create unforgettable moments of joy and memories and a dance floor filled with celebration.

Awarded Best of Zola
Let’s start with “WOW!” We had a music festival themed wedding with four bands so music was a critical piece of our wedding weekend and the standards were high. We interviewed over 20 bands from the NYC area and decided to go with Vitamin M after really vibing with their band leader, JJ. And boy are we glad we did! JJ worked with us to curate the perfect performance for us and our guests. He was able to balance dance songs and classics alongside some custom requests that went off the beaten path of most traditional weddings from the likes of The Band, Talking Heads and The Clash. He even helped us surprise our guests with a singing introduction of the bride and groom. He took time to get to know us and was always happy to answer any questions we had. This was not a cookie cutter wedding band performance. This is a group of truly talented professional musicians putting on a real show. Our guests and even our vendors are still telling us today, months later, that this was the best wedding band that they’ve ever seen. We are extremely happy with our decision to hire Vitamin M for our wedding. No diggity, no doubt.

I feel so lucky that my sister found Atlas & Stone as her photographers years ago and that I was able to book them for my big day as well! If you want to remember your wedding day and have the best pictures to look back on then you NEED to book Atlas & Stone! Jess is super responsive in helping book everything and Kevin was so incredible to work with on site! We had to reschedule our engagement shoot 3 times because of rain. Kevin had driven all the way to the location the first time and thankfully knew a rainy day was not what we were looking for and rescheduled, clearly putting our best interests first. Not only did our engagement pictures come out so beautifully, but the wedding photos he took made our jaws drop. Kevin made sure he captured every photo I was looking for from family portraits, to my inspiration couple pictures, and the big family photos. Kevin also surprised me with Polaroids at the end of the night of some of the best moments and a digital version of them the next day that I immediately had to post on Instagram because they were so good. I received a sneak preview of my wedding photos less than a week after the wedding day! I was surprised and thrilled with the quick turnaround of over 50 photos to look at while we were on our honeymoon. They captured the details, the smiles, and all the special moments of our big day. I am absolutely so thrilled with how everything came out. I cannot wait to put together a whole album of these photos and blow up the big moments into canvases for us and our family. They have great packages and are worth every single penny. I promise you will be in AMAZING hands if you book Atlas & Stone.

We have combined families and now as a family of 7 (three dogs, two cats) we have become an unstoppable force. We both share the same passion for photography, capturing the beauty all around us and making magic happen. Our dog Lucy, embodies love, kindness and poise. We couldn’t imagine naming our business after anyone but her. That’s how Love, Lucy Photography came to be.

We worked with Bethany and Raquel for our 2023 wedding in August. Not only are they both super personable, they truly made us feel organized as well as made the entire picture process amazing (and fun) the day of. Our wedding gallery was delivered on time within the 2 week frame they provide and we got well over 1,000 photos. We had so much fun looking through our album!

Hi, my name is Juan, AKA Jay, I am a Western Massachusetts based photographer. I first began my interest in photography in grade school. While my teacher would conduct the class I would be interested in the images so I could make more of a connection. I was also dubbed the "family photographer" whenever there was a family function. I am more of a non-traditional photographer, meaning, I enjoy control candid photos vs traditional posing photos.

My husband and I got married almost 7 months ago and the pictures for both our engagement session and our wedding were amazing. We loved working with Pix by Jay and would definitely use him again.

Hey there! I’m Chris, and I’m stoked to be part of your wedding journey. My goal is to help make your day everything you’ve dreamed of. I'll even bring some dog treats. You can count on me to keep things stress-free—no “photographer attitude” here. If the timeline gets off track, I’ll help get it back on schedule so you can enjoy your meal. Based in Boston, I love traveling for weddings, especially intimate gatherings of 100-150 guests. I’m a fan of venues like barns, ski resorts, and castles. Capturing vibrant, cinematic images is my passion, and I focus on true-to-life editing—no overexposed skies or unnatural skin tones!

Chris was such a joy to work with! From our very first meeting before even hiring him, he really spent the time to talk through what our vision was and how we wanted our day to be captured. He was a great support every step of the way for planning as well as on the big day! In addition to being a great listener, Chris has great suggestions on how to plan for photos based on his extensive experience (angles, timing, group shots). Our wedding was a large one, so Chris hired a fantastic second lead photographer and several other photographers throughout the day so our event was seamlessly captured! Another important note - all of our family and other vendors (makeup artists, planners, etc) commented on how great it was to work with Chris, and were excited to work with him on future events - I think this is such an important quality for a photographer, and definitely appreciated how professional and friendly Chris was with EVERYONE! He kept the day moving as it should and captured some unbelievable shots that I revisit on probably a daily basis :) I honestly cannot recommend Chris enough - from his genuine care and support for you through the planning and important day, to the absolutely stunning product he delivers. Thank you Chris for everything!!

RS Moments 

5.0

  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $1,500
  • Serves Groton, CT

Our style is artistic and documentary, and can be described in three words; Sincere, Scenic, and Inspirational. Sincere, we will never ask you to act unnaturally in front of our camera; we will adjust to your personalities and photograph you as you are. Scenic, because we love beautiful landscapes and love to incorporate everyone in such environments. Inspirational, because there is always a new way or a new idea to capture a photo but in the end it's capturing that special moment.

RS Moments were the perfect wedding photographers for our special day. From the moment we first spoke with them, their communication style was considerate, kind, and unique. They truly understood the importance of capturing our day in a way that felt personal and special to us. Throughout the process, they were caring, understanding, and respectful, guiding us through different poses and angles to get the perfect shots. We loved how they incorporated unique elements like mirrors, umbrellas, and the beach to create beautiful, one-of-a-kind photos that perfectly complement our love. The results were absolutely stunning, and we are so grateful to have these memories preserved. We couldn't recommend RS Moments more highly!

Hello, my name is Adam! I have been working behind a camera for 15 years and would love to bring my expertise in filmmaking and storytelling to your wedding. Being a part of the most special day in a couple's lives is a tremendous honor, and I bring that sentiment into every film I make.

Awarded Best of Zola
Adam was an absolute pleasure to work with! He made sure to touch base with us multiple times before our big day to ensure he knew exactly what we wanted. We allowed him full creative control and are so happy we did. Our trailer and highlight reel look like actual movies. He included beautiful drone shots capturing our entire venue and made sure to incorporate bits from our entire day into the reel. My favorite part is the raw emotion he captured throughout our vows and our speeches. The final product is absolutely priceless and we are so thankful to Adam for filming editing our favorite memory that we can look back on for a lifetime. We HIGHLY recommend him for your day!

Shukhrat Kamalov Photography

  • Photographer
  • Editorial style
  • Serves Groton, CT

Hey there, I’m Shukhrat, a proud husband, a father and an artist. My love for photography started about fifteen years ago with photojournalism. Today, I continue to utilize my skills in capturing beautiful wedding and portrait moments that evoke the same emotions as the real moment. My photography style is diverse and has been refined over the years to showcase my creative vision. I am all about creating stunning, timeless artwork that truly captures the essence of a moment in true to life colors.

Shukhrat and his wife Rachel just shot our June 8th wedding and we couldn't be happier. They were amazing to work with and the photos are phenomenal! About the pictures: Shukhrat is versatile and very skilled. When we took our engagement photos he provided us with various styles of photos and editing, and then used our feedback to guide the photos he took at our wedding. He is also flexible. We got married in a city park and there were wayyyy more people in the park than we were expecting at 6:00pm at night. Without missing any of the candid details or true-to-life colors that we wanted, Shukhrat was able to frame the photos and/or alter the lighting so that the park goers were barely visible in the background. Both Shukhrat and Rachel are also very skilled at giving direction when needed, but letting you do your own thing the rest of the time. Neither my husband nor I have a lot of experience in front of a camera—they gave us enough direction to feel confident, without making us feel stifled or overly posed. We wanted photos that felt organic and genuine, and they were really able to capture that. Working with Shukhrat and Rachel: The two of them were a dream to work with. Incredibly professional--very communicative, punctual, quick turnaround time on photos. And they are also just lovely people. You spend so much time on your wedding day with your photographers, it's really important to feel comfortable with them, and we certainly did. They brought both a fun, but calming energy, easing our pre-wedding jitters before the ceremony, and leaning into the excitement as the night went on. Although we hardly know them, they felt like friends. We are so glad we booked Shukhrat for our wedding!

  • Offers 5 services

Her experience, creativity & knowledge in the event industry puts her ahead of most in the area. She loves creating and working with clients on all levels to make their vision become a reality. "I love getting to know my clients and enjoy becoming their "New Best Friend" prior to the event.". Her talent in design, organization, and management makes any experience working with her effortless. She makes you feel so comfortable & give you the confidence it will be an amazing event.

Eileen was amazing as our wedding planner / month-of coordinator. Both my husband and I were SO glad we hired her. Eileen helped us make so many decisions during the planning process that led to an extremely smooth wedding day - from where the bar was located to how we processed down the aisle, from whether to do cake or a dessert bar, to when champagne was poured - she really nailed it. She also worked with all of our vendors to coordinate setup and was onsite to help make sure everything was set up correctly & as planned. Everyone jokes that something *always* goes wrong on your wedding day, no matter how much you plan, but really we had nothing go wrong thanks to Eileen! She made our day stress-free! It's also important to call out that our venue wedding coordinator quit a couple of weeks before our wedding, and Eileen stepped up and swooped in to make sure our new point of contact at the venue was fully up-to-speed. Thank god for Eileen! I highly recommend her. And if you're on the fence about needing a wedding coordinator -- just take the leap! SO SO worth it.

I shot my first wedding in 2004, and from that moment on, I was hooked! It's an honor to witness and capture such an important moment in the lives of my couples. Before specializing in weddings, I focused on fine art and night photography. I earned a BFA degree in studio art from the University of Notre Dame (Go Irish!), and a MFA degree in imaging arts/photography from Rochester Institute of Technology. I taught black and white, digital, alternative process and studio photography at the high school, university and adult education levels. I love both the planned events and the unintentional, quiet moments that make a wedding unique!

Kristin is a great photographer but it's her personal touches that stand out the most with me. She brings little kits for sewing to make sure that any mishaps will never ruin anyones day. Her professionalism is unwaivering and she is always smiling and willing to help; even if it doesn't have to do with photography! You will never be disappointed in choosing Kristin for any of your events!

Everyone needs a Wayne! This is what we have told everyone over and over again when showing our beautiful wedding and engagement photos. We sincerely cannot wait for the next time we have an excuse to work with Wayne. From the very start of working with him, he had such a thoughtfulness that no else else had. Throughout the whole process he had sentimental touches like congratulatory gifts, personalized business cards for us to distribute with our photo on it, souvenirs from our wedding day, etc. Friends and family loved how he was present but never in the way or distracting, and we agree. The best advice we received was to find a photographer who you like being around because you spend the majority of your wedding day with them, and man they were right. Wayne's energy is exactly what you want - attentive, sharp and aware of his surroundings but cool and relaxed on a day that has it's stressful moments. Wayne does his research and comes fully prepared for ideal and creative shots. Even when everything was all wrapped up, Wayne spent hours of his time to personalize our wedding photo album with the patience of a saint. Simply the best <3
