  • Starts at $1,500
  • Serves Hartford, CT

My name is George. I am a Wedding, Event and Portrait photographer based in Connecticut. I began my photography journey at the age of 17. In 2009 I went to the Fashion Institute of Technology (Manhattan, NY) and graduated in Fashion Photography class. My desire as an artist is to create natural pictures that are full of life and express beauty. With my European heritage and unique style, I create your every need differently and diligently, capturing all the emotions and unique details of your photography requests.

George was very kind and communicative from the start. He was very flexible in our desire to move to a second location during cocktail hour and made the most of our short time there. He focused on capturing all of the photos we asked for along with really amazing candid shots of guests. He delivered a large amount of photos in short time frame. We can't recommend him enough.

IF you want a wedding photographer who will instantly become a friend look no further than Meraki Photos Inc. We met Rayleen at the Connecticut Bridal and Wedding Expo and instantly feel in love with the spirit of her work. Rayleen’s eye for detail is amazing. Throw that in with her technical skills, down to earth personality, and professionalism and you have found yourself a true artist. Rayleen will stop at nothing to make sure she captures the most incredible shots, even if that means going outside in freezing cold temperatures or scaling a fence. She takes the time to get to know you as a couple, listen to your vision, and create magic that you didn’t even know you needed. Our fall wedding was the most beautiful day and I am so grateful that we booked with Meraki Photos. The photos from the day are absolutely stunning and capture the real joy and essence of our love. Seriously our friends and family cannot stop raving on how beautifully everything was photographed. We have found a life long photographer in Rayleen. She has been there with us through all our most important moments: engagement photoshoot, wedding day, maternity session, newborn photoshoot and mommy and me photo session. We are looking forward to our daughter’s smash cake session and family Christmas photos this year. We wholeheartedly recommend Meraki Photos Inc to anyone seeking extraordinary photos and an unforgettable experience.

Chelsea Lavallee Photography 

5.0

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $2,900
  • Serves Hartford, CT

This little hobby that started back in 2015 has become an absolute dream come true!! Photographing weddings is my second favorite part of this job, with working alongside my husband to serve the most incredible couples being the first! I knew from the start that I wanted my business to be focused on creating an amazing wedding experience that caters to each couple in a unique and memorable way! Our focus throughout the entire process is to make things easy, stress-free, and most of all FUN! Outside of this business, we also train Ninja Warrior and love exploring throughout New England & the Northeast!

Awarded Best of Zola
My wife and I had an absolutely traumatic photography search experience. Our original photographer never panned out, was shady, and never made it seem like they cared about the product. That's why when we decided to search for someone new and stumbled upon Chelsea, we knew the stars were aligning at the the correct time with this absolute blessing in disguise. From our first meeting, Chelsea listened to us, understood what we were coming from and where we wanted to go in terms of our photos. Her breathtaking bright and colorful photos were exactly what we were looking for in our April wedding. Despite meeting in person for the first time the day of our wedding, the lead up and communication day of made it feel like we were old friends seeing each other again. Both her and her husband/second shooter Ryan are top notch. They executed all the fun little quirks we wanted perfectly, including our groomsmen "NFL Entrance" photos, and private "First Touch". They stayed through most of the night and captured the entire reception, intros, dances, and party. We left for our honeymoon less than 2 days later, and by the time we landed, we already had 100 (!) photos as a sneak peek. The turnaround time was incredible. Chelsea prides herself on connecting with her clients, keeps her promises, and delivers exceptionally. We count our lucky stars we found Chelsea Lavallee Photography when we did. She made our day complete. Thank you Chelsea & Ryan!

Kimberly Nguyen Photography, LLC

Hartford, CT
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,398

Welcome! I am a daughter of Vietnamese immigrants who chose to move to Connecticut, where I have lived for most of my life. I love the change of seasons in this part of the country and all the rich backdrops it brings for imagery (and mental health walks and runs). My cultural heritage is the foundation for my photographic passion. My camera allows me to work where I know I work best, behind-the-scenes, front row at some of the most profound moments in people's lives. In a pinch though, I'll be there carrying the train, making sure you don't get your shoes dirty and helping to support you where I can throughout your wedding day!

Awarded Best of Zola
As a wedding planner, I’ve found Kim to be such a pleasure to work with!!! She’s incredibly sweet and easy to communicate with. She has a creative eye and will do it all for the shot. Not only have I worked with Kim professionally but she also worked my personal wedding! I would highly recommend using her!

Tianna Hauser Photography

Hartford, CT
  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $3,000

Hi friends! I'm a New England wedding and destination photographer based out of Connecticut. My faith is the foundation of everything apart of me. My family, friends, and my business. I wouldn’t be where I am today without God, and I pray that my clients can see the goodness of the Lord through every stage of working with me. I love hiking and finding a brewery afterward to grab a cider, strolling through a garden shop or bookstore, or catching a sunset down at the beach and having a picnic. I'm a Jesus- follower, wife to my best friend Justin, a mom to my son Jaxson, and dog mama to my girl Minnie.

Awarded Best of Zola
Tianna is professional, creative, fun, talented and kind! We felt so comfortable when we hired her to do a couple photo shoot. We were nervous at the beginning and she made us feel safe and we were laughing by the end. We then hired her to photograph our wedding the following year. Her eye for the right time to capture a photo is phenomenal! She also has many pose ideas. She works well with small or large groups. Her edits are beautiful and she gets them done in a timely fashion. She gave us a sneak peak in the meantime and answered any questions that we asked about them. We can’t begin to thank her enough for the wonderful memories that she has captured for us. We plan to hire her again when our family grows. Highly recommend Tianna!

I am a Wedding and Lifestyle Photographer based in Hartford, Connecticut. I take you on a journey of Storytelling through Capturing Memories. In my journey with photography, you will be able to immerse yourself in that feeling of exploring a new place for the very first time, to freeze and re-live the moment forever. My journey started in Australia. Love of photography and always searching for a new adventure let me do weddings, engagement, and many other aspects of photography. My passion is photography every time I shoot an event.

Kani was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding photography. Their communication style is easygoing, responsive, and accommodating. Kani was flexible in tailoring the photography timeline to our preferences. The quality of their work is outstanding - the photos beautifully capture genuine emotions and special moments with artistic composition. We wanted to do something unique for our engagement shoot that required significant travel. Despite flight delays that made for an extra long day, Kani maintained a positive attitude and took time to get fantastic photos in multiple locations that we'll treasure. Overall, Kani is a talented, dedicated photographer who cares about clients and produces fantastic work and memories.

Carla Ten Eyck Photography 

5.0

Hartford, CT
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $4,700

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.

I've known Carla and have worked with her for over a decade! Being on the professional side of this industry, I am able to see not just how a vendor works with their couples but also the heart, soul, and absolute dedication they pour into every element behind the scenes that make such an impact in the service they provide. Something I've always witnessed with Carla is how personal she makes her process with her clients, which is so necessary, especially from a photography perspective! Your photographer is the person who captures every moment of your day you can think, and all the ones you can't. Having someone give you a forever memory of the real emotion, reactions, and who you are is so essential to the success and enjoyment of not just the day but the time leading up to it. That someone being able to connect with you is what allows that to happen, and Carla takes pride in how personal and truly special she makes going about this relationship. Her work is stunning, she is honest and forthcoming, and she has such a passion for what she does that it truly sets her apart from many!! Some of the best moments from events that I didn't know anyone other than the couple still hold such a special place in my heart because of the photos she's captured. I can only assume that the impact it has on the actual couple and family is insurmountably greater than what I feel to this day!

Besides wedding photography, we love spending time with our two sons, our two cats and our dog. We love spending time together and traveling. Our dream is to bring the people part of our family on a European tour one day!

Awarded Best of Zola
A couple of years ago one of my high school friends got married and I loved her photos on Facebook. Fast forward to 2015 as my fiancee and I were looking for a wedding photographer I remembered Melanie's photos of my friend. I spoke with my friend and she highly recommended Melanie. We met with Melanie and clicked instantly. She helped us plan a beautiful engagement session and our wedding. The entire day went perfectly and Melanie captured every moment. My husband said to me as we were looking through the gallery, "these photos are postcard perfect!" I would have to agree with him and love that we will have these photos to always remember the day. Since our wedding we have recommended Melanie to other friends who are getting married and they have said that Melanie and Brian were the best vendor that they worked with for the wedding!

Finding the right wedding photographer is very important! Each of my clients (turn friends) are extremely special to me. We will find a time to grab a coffee and discuss what you envision for your wedding day, talk details, timeline, colors, and so much more! Together we will create photographic memories that will never be forgotten.

Rachel photographed our rehearsal dinner and wedding day and I had an amazing experience working with her! Her work is incredible and she captured our memories beautifully. Her timeless, classic style is exactly what I envisioned. She made everyone feel so comfortable, she even learned the names of our immediate family members (my MIL still raves about how much she loves Rachel)! We enjoyed spending most of our wedding day with her, she is lovely and made taking lots of photos so fun. She was also very experienced in creating a photography timeline and helped prioritize what was important to us on our wedding day. I highly recommend Rachel for all your photography needs!

Hi! I'm Aren, when trusted to tell your story through my lens, I take a photojournalistic approach. I value capturing the moments as they are happening on your big day, rather than making your wedding day into a "photoshoot". Real, raw, + authentic love is what I am here to capture. Minimalistic photography really draws my eye, never over complicating what's really happening in front of us, and finding the beauty in the simple, in-between, moments.

I met Aren through a mutual friend and was excited to have her assist in shooting a wedding with me. She was professional and enjoyable to work with. I am looking forward to having her second shoot with me again come 2024.

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.

From the moment we reached out to Fox and Veil Photography, they were proactive, clear communicators who were transparent about their process and pricing. Their hard work, talent, and beautiful photography truly made our wedding day even more special. They were so friendly and felt like we had known them forever, helping to make the day run smoothly and capture all the moments we'll cherish forever. We couldn't be happier with the value and quality of their work, and highly recommend them to any couple looking for an exceptional wedding photography experience. We absolutely loved Fox and veil photography and would recommend them to anyone!!
