Wedding Photography by George 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • 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.

We are beyond thrilled with our experience with George, and cannot recommend him enough! From the very first interaction, George was incredibly professional, friendly, and attentive to our vision for the wedding day. It was clear right away that he was not only passionate about his craft but also genuinely cared about making our day as special as possible. The photos he took are absolutely stunning! George has an incredible talent for capturing the most beautiful, candid, and emotional moments—often without us even realizing. We are amazed at how he was able to preserve all the little details and big moments, from the quiet, intimate glances to the burst of laughter on the dance floor. Every picture tells a story, and we now have a treasure trove of unforgettable memories to cherish forever at an extremely competitive price. What truly stood out to us, though, was how George went above and beyond. He not only captured every essential moment but also made sure we felt comfortable, relaxed, and at ease throughout the entire day. Their positive attitude and seamless coordination with our wedding planner, vendors, and guests ensured everything flowed smoothly. He was there for every special moment, often anticipating the perfect shot before we even realized it was happening. On top of his talent and professionalism, George is just an amazing human being. He is kind, thoughtful, and respectful. We are so grateful for the beautiful work he did and for the lasting memories he’s given us. If you are looking for a photographer who is not only incredibly talented but also dedicated, thoughtful, and an all-around great person, look no further than Photography by George V. Thank you so much for everything—you truly made our wedding day unforgettable!

Kimberly Nguyen Photography, LLC 

5.0

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
I have had the pleasure of working with Kim on more than one occasion for various wedding and other events. Kim is always on time and incredibly organized. She has phenomenal eye for interesting photos and knows how to roll with the punches. More than all of that though, Kim is a personable person to work with. She knows how to make people comfortable and bring out their true self. I would work with Kim again in a heartbeat and would gladly recommend her to others.

Aren Paradis Photography 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,500
  • Serves Hartford, CT

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.

Aren was the absolute BEST decision we made for our wedding day, hands down. I cannot recommend her enough! She captured the FEELING of the day in a way I only dreamed about, and I still cry every time I look at our photos. I can’t express how perfect everything was and how happy we were with Aren. Book her! You will not regret it!

We had the pleasure of hiring a documentary-style wedding photographer for our special day, and I couldn't be happier with the results. Their ability to capture candid moments and genuine emotions was truly remarkable. The photos tell a story that goes beyond posed shots, giving us a vivid and authentic memory of our wedding. Their attention to detail is impeccable, and they have a keen eye for capturing the little moments that often go unnoticed. From the laughter shared between guests to the heartfelt glances exchanged during the ceremony, every emotion was beautifully documented. Not only did they capture the essence of the day, but they did so with a level of professionalism and discretion that put everyone at ease. They seamlessly blended into the background, allowing for natural interactions and genuine expressions to shine through. Their post-processing work enhanced the photos without veering into heavy editing, maintaining the genuine feel of the day. The color palettes and tones used in the final edits were tastefully done, adding to the overall storytelling. We wholeheartedly recommend this photographer to anyone seeking more than just pictures – they deliver an emotional journey through their lens. If you're looking for a wedding photographer who can capture the true essence of your day, this documentary-style photographer is an absolute must.

Melanie Ruth Photography 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $7,200
  • Serves Hartford, CT

Photography has always been a passion of mine even after I started my career as a science teacher. I wake up everyday and teach 100+ kids in 9th and 10th grade about the wonder and beauty of the sciences. I also get to wake up everyday with a camera in hand, and connect to loved ones starting out on new paths. I have this strong desire to create art and speak the truth of other’s lives. Everyday I have an excitement for what's to come, and who I will be blessed with to capture. What never meant to become a business, slowly turned into this beautiful opportunity to be connected to so many amazing humans and invest in their lives.

Melanie was the best photographer for our wedding in May 2024 in Boston!!!! She was the perfect combination of professional, fun, on-top of her game, but also super chill and go with the flow. Which is exactly what we were looking for in all of our vendors. She made everyone feel so comfortable and would ask us funny or heart felt questions when we were taking group couple pictures to ensure she captured raw emotion and to keep things interesting. There was never a dull moment. Everyone from our bridal party family came up to me after and said how much they loved Melanie and her team. Couldn't recommend her enough!!!!!!!

Hiring Eivan’s for our wedding was a great decision! Our photographer Gregory I was professional and FUN! He kept us smiling throughout the day with his quirky personality! My fiancé does not care for photos so I’m happy we had someone working with us who could make him comfortable. He made sure to get multiple images even if it was just “one more”, it was never one more! We had actually hired a different photographer and we replaced him with this company. Worth the stress and money! If I had any tips for the company, it would be to have your photographers give a 30 minute warning before their contracted time is up. Weddings are so busy for the bride and groom, it is very easy to lose track of time. I think clients would appreciate a little heads up just so they can try and capture any photos they may have missed. Other than that, I have ZERO complaints. Such an amazing experience! 10/10 highly recommend :)

I’m so glad we went with Sound Originals for our wedding photos! Both photographers and videographer were awesome. Booking was easy and I love their online portal – they asked all the right questions and made sure everyone was on the same page with the vision for the day. We were able to have a planning call to “meet” our lead photographer, Carly, before the wedding day. I really appreciated that so we could go over some details and feel a little bit more comfortable going into the big day (husband and I are not huge picture people). Carly and team were right on time and I can’t say enough good things about how comfortable they made us feel and how hard they worked to make sure we got every shot that we wanted. It rained on our wedding day so there were some pictures I was disappointed about not getting, but Carly got out her phone and was tracking the weather so we could take advantage of every single break in the rain – even if it was only a couple minutes! We ended up getting every picture that I wanted and I’m so grateful! We got our picture gallery back ahead of what was stated in the contract and it’s everything we hoped for. The color is exactly what we chose (we went with the “Timeless” edit. Despite the rain they managed to capture every location on the property and it looks absolutely beautiful. We had an awesome experience, and I highly recommend them. Thank you for being a part of our favorite day!

George Street was very communicative and professional throughout our wedding planning process and the day of. We chose to have 8 hr photo and video with a 6 hr assistant photographer. between the quality of the photos and video and the amount of time we had, we felt that it was amazing quality and such a beautiful keepsake to remember our special day by. We were also permitted to switch out an album the pictures made by George Street with an engagement photo shoot with photographer which we really appreciate and enjoy doing. The photographer, Ausrine, and videographer, Eric, always gave us clear instructions and what to do and how to pose. Ausrine even worked around our busy schedules when scheduling the engagement shoot to make sure we were happy with the weather and that day.

We had such an easy time working with Enchanted Celebrations staff that I would jump at choosing them again! Blair and Summer were professional, thorough, empathetic and communicated very clearly all the different features of the videography plans so that we felt like we chose the right plan for our wedding day. As time came closer, Summer was diligent at working with us on the details for the day-of, and then a few days before the wedding we confirmed everything with Edwin, our assigned videographer. Edwin’s style was spot-on with what we imagined and the videos came out beautiful and so much quicker than we expected them. We’re delighted with our experience!

Just like you, I have felt awkward in front of the camera. I’ve had photos taken of me that I didn’t like. When you go on a session with me, I will not only make you feel comfortable, but I will make sure you look good! I will give you prompts to keep you moving and laughing. I’m sorry but there are some angles, and poses that are not flattering for everyone. Like, please don’t take a photo of me from below! Hello double chin! What I’m saying is, I got you!

I present fun, elegant, and exciting Wedding Photography for my clients. My style is photojournalistic; I feel it's the most effective way to tell a story. After all, there is so much happening on a wedding day. Between the ceremony, dancing, and endless extravaganzas, the most memorable moments will naturally occur.  My goal is to capture the emotions and memories of your day through my lens. These recollections are your forever keepsakes, a chapter of your life's story. Every image accounts for those who were by your side, delighted for you, and the next step in your journey. I appreciate you for giving me a few moments of your time.t

Awarded Best of Zola
My husband and I were from out of town and hired Sean to photograph us at a Christmas gala at the place we got married. He was accommodating to last minute changes to make the most of the session and even went above and beyond to make it happen. Upon first impression, he was upbeat and had a vision. We were outside in sub 30 degree weather with fading evening light as well as low light inside a building and he was up for the challenge. We ended up with beautiful images in less than ideal conditions and that is what makes a great photographer. Sean has a sense of humor and an eye for that perfect photograph. He was fun to work with and his heart for people and creativity shows through. Thank you Sean for capturing this time in our lives.
