When I first started wedding photography, I didn’t realize how quickly I would fall in love!

Wedding photography is not just a job, it’s a true passion that I do because I love it. The long wedding days, the planning - I cherish every moment of it!

Ephe went above and BEYOND at our wedding. I can't thank her enough! The second she was on site, my stress melted away. She handled all the last minute details and truly made the day so perfect. Every single shot is gorgeous. She is so talented and organized, and just the friend (and amazing photographer, of course) I needed on my big day! Even months later, I still look at these photos, and they bring me right back to that day. They are so incredibly stunning. We are so happy we went with Ephe!

Hey hey 👋, I’m LaDonna. Wedding photographer & videographer with a passion for celebrating the love stories of couples from all walks of life. Growing up in the suburbs of Boston and attending undergrad in Connecticut, I’m a true New England gal. Winter holds a special place in my heart, as I embrace the beauty and charm of every location I photograph. I’m always delighted to travel wherever your love story takes you—even an Aspen winter elopement. That would honestly make my heart smile! 😊 My mission: create timeless, heirloom-quality artwork that reflects the unique connection & individuality of each couple I have the honor to serve.

Awarded Best of Zola
I’m typically shy and not very photogenic, so I was extremely anxious about how our wedding photos would turn out. But after finding LaDonna through a Facebook ad, I immediately knew I wouldn’t have to worry if she was our photographer. She took the time to understand me and helped me find my confidence in front of the camera. By the wedding day, I felt completely at ease and able to focus on the moment with my husband rather than my insecurities in my head. LaDonna and the LT² team captured everything beautifully, balancing candid moments with fine art shots that truly tell our story. The photos are so authentic, and I’ll cherish these memories forever, along with the confidence I gained. Thank you, LaDonna, for an unforgettable experience! 3 7.27.24

Ben was not only professional and talented, but he also brought an artist's eye to every shot. Even though we had a plan for where to take pictures at our venue, Ben would stop us and say, "Hey, what do you think about this?" His picture choices ended up being our favorites – they truly captured the essence of our day. Kim was so sweet and thoughtful, even getting me some of my pictures early so I could use them for Christmas gifts. Working with Kindred Photography was such a joy, and I am so grateful for the beautiful memories they helped us preserve!

Beauty by Jessica Tiffany will travel to the destination of your choosing and will happily service all of your wedding party! Contact us for a personalized, pampered experience!

Writing reviews was the last things I had on my big ol wedding to-do list. I mostly put it off because I truly did not know how to put into words how perfect most of my vendors were. Jessica was no short of perfection. She was incredibly easy to schedule with, chat with about what I wanted, and offered up advice on all things beauty. Her package deal is incredible, her pre wedding face kit is amazing, her touch up kit is still use to this day, and her own facial products are some of my faves. I didn’t have “mini facial” on my wedding morning timeline but omfg I would tell every bride it’s absolutely necessary. During my trial (at her adorable home studio!) we went in a traditional direction and 5 months later I asked her to pivot entirely and go foundation-less. I’d seen it on her Instagram page and was so impressed and oh man did she pull it off. I felt so natural (I’m not someone who usually wears anything but moisturizer and mascara) and to not have to wear foundation on my wedding day was such a relief. I felt so incredibly beautiful on my wedding day - and so did my bridesmaids. Jessica is worth. Every. Penny. And I highly recommend her partner in crime Allison who made scheduling so easy and honestly brought such a bff vibe to the wedding day it was amazing. 5 stars , 10/10, A you name it!

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.

  • Serves Hartford, CT

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 an absolute delight to work with! She was so easygoing and truly captured our wedding perfectly. It was really important to us to get most of our photos done before the ceremony, and she and her team made that happen so we could go enjoy the party (also - highly recommend doing that no matter who you book). I had some reservations about having two photographers AND a videographer there, since I’d been to weddings that looked more like paparazzi shoots, but they managed to capture everything without blocking anyone’s view. And can we talk about the turnaround?? We got our entire gallery, PLUS all the video footage (a few montages and longer videos) within three weeks of the event, including mailing us a flash drive! Kristen is a rock star and you should totally book with her.

I’m a photographer for people who don’t resonate with traditional wedding photography. For those who want their weddings to be told like a story that features every bear hug, belly laugh, stolen glance, spilled drink, booty shake, and happy tear. For those who prioritize genuine and unscripted moments over trends and shot lists. For those who don’t want to feel like they’re wasting their day posing for the camera. For those who are inspired by the past and hopeful for the future. For those looking to create a little bit of future nostalgia.

Caroline is not only a professional through and through - he is a delight to be around! Working with her on a wedding last season was seamless and FUN. She made the couple, the entire vendor team, and all guests feel so comfortable. Her approach is laid back with the right amount of guidance and the result is exceptionally beautiful and authentic photos. Her deliverables are timely and timeless - I promise you'll love every photo. I can't recommend Caroline enough to any couple who is looking for romantic and authentic wedding photos and a photographer who quickly becomes a friend!

I instinctually fell in love with the creativity of floral design and it wasn’t long until Willow & Grey was born. WG creates unique, romantic, and whimsical floral designs for weddings and events in New England. My desire is to curate florals that reflect and celebrate the beauty and magic in life’s most cherished moments.

Willow & Grey were an absolute pleasure to work with. Their communication was clear, fast, and easy, making the planning process a breeze. The quality of their work was truly amazing - the floral arch they created for our ceremony was romantic, stunning, and the perfect grand backdrop. Everyone raved about the hanging florals they set up in the ceremony space as well. Renee is so sweet and brought my vision board and dreams to life, creating a final look that was even more beautiful than I could have imagined. I look back at the pictures and am still in awe of how gorgeous everything turned out. Willow & Grey's attention to detail and stunning work made them invaluable to our special day.
