Hi there! I’m Chris, and I’m excited to be part of your wedding journey. My goal is to make your day as stress-free and joyful as possible, so you can focus on celebrating with the people you love. I’ll ensure your timeline stays on track and handle any unexpected moments with ease. Based in Boston, I love traveling for intimate weddings of 100-150 guests at unique venues like barns, ski resorts, and castles. My style focuses on vibrant, cinematic images with true-to-life editing. I’m here to bring your vision to life and create photos that let you relive the magic for years to come!

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!!

Brianna Ritoli Photography LLC

  • Serves Old Lyme, CT

I was born and raised in the smallest little state, Rhode Island! With that comes a huge appreciation for the coast and a realization that magic can be found in even the smallest of details. Growing up in a small town where time seems to go by slower helped me learn the value of genuine connections which have now become apart of who I am.

Awarded Best of Zola
We are SO glad we worked with Bri! From start to finish she was supportive, communicative, and onboard with our elopement. My husband and I are not comfortable in front of the camera and she made it so easy to get beautiful photos! I let Bri use her artistic vision to get a lot of our photos, and I am so happy I did. Her and Lucas were fabulous - and essential to keeping our elopement as quiet as possible. I will definitely be reaching out to Bri if we ever need any other photos done! Thank you so so much for capturing our day!!

  • Photojournalistic style

  • Serves Old Lyme, CT

I love spending the day documenting the story of your love and special moments with those closest do you. My photographic style is to photograph in a non intrusive way so I can capture the magic of the day as it unfolds with candids and minimal directed posing.

I recently got engaged and did my engagement shoot with Tarren. I cannot recommend her enough! She is ready to work with what ever photography ideas you have but also has so many great suggestions. She captured so many beautiful shots and many of them with my fiancé smiling (which is hard to do!). And was open to any location and time we wanted. I cannot wait to work with her and Sam on my wedding day because I know she will be able to capture so many amazing moments for us to look back on in the future.

Allison Cheng Photography 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $5,250
  • Serves Old Lyme, CT

Hi, I’m Allison, and I’ve had the privilege of photographing weddings for over 10 years. My background with USA Gymnastics in sports photography (including the 2020, and 2024 Olympic Trials) has taught me to capture every moment with precision and artistry, making sure no detail goes unnoticed. Because of my commitment to the gymnastics season, I limit the number of weddings I take on each year. This means I can give each couple the time and attention they truly deserve, creating a personalized gallery that tells the beautiful story of their day. I’d love to work with you to capture your unforgettable moments!

Allison is a professional yet loving person and is the perfect photographer for weddings and family portraits! My husband and I knew the minute we got engaged that we wanted to work with her. We did our engagement shoot at Harkness Park and immediately felt at ease working with Allison and overall we all had a lot of fun! The day of our wedding Allison and her dad John were incredible. We gave them the difficult task of getting 90% of our pictures done before the ceremony so we could spend some of our cocktail hour with our guests. Not only did they make that task look easy, but we all had a great time with our shots! Allison also strongly suggested taking 20 minutes during sunset to take some couple shots, and those became my favorite pictures of the day. The turnaround for the full album was quick and the pictures were beautiful, but most importantly the personality that both Allison and John have made the experience magical for everyone involved. I can't recommend working with them enough!

BridgetQ Photography

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,200
  • Serves Old Lyme, CT

I am a self-proclaimed nerd and total goofball who is always up for an adventure, especially if it means going to the beach. I love to travel. I have been blessed to find “home” on three different continents, and I speak fluent English, Spanish and Portuguese. My husband Mike, sons Javi & Ro, baby Soleil and pup Tag are my greatest motivation. They simultaneously drive me crazy and keep me grounded. The love, strength and energy I get from them shapes my perspective on the world, and is something that I want to share with you. In addition to all that, I happen to be one of the luckiest people in the world – I love my job!

Bridget & her assistant did a PHENOMONAL job photographing my daughter and son-in-law’s wedding last weekend. She somehow managed to capture it all – the couple, the relatives, the venue, the season, the rituals – yet each image stands as a work of art on its own. Especially love the black and white photos sprinkled in with the full color. I guess it comes down to Bridget’s mastery of lighting, and her ability to read the energy of the many different people she photographs. One of her candids has the gorgeous lighting of a Vermeer painting (“Girl with a Pearl Earring”). It you’re looking for the best, look no further.

Teresa Johnson Photography

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,900
  • Serves Old Lyme, CT

Hi, I'm Theresa, a wedding photographer inspired by nature's beauty and the stories we all hope to pass down. Along with my amazing team of photographers (plus a videographer!), our work emphasizes natural prompts and real emotions to create incredible imagery that captures the vibrant energy of wedding celebrations. We’re set apart by the fact that we know how to maximize shotlists so our couples can skip the photo marathons and enjoy their own cocktail hour (which is rare, I might add).

Awarded Best of Zola
Teresa is awesome! She provides amazing customer service from the time you meet her through the time she delivers your digital album (3-4 weeks after your wedding day) and then beyond that was you order prints and create albums. I “clicked” with Teresa instantly the day we met and she held my husband and my hands through the entire planning process leading up to the wedding. She even shot a mini-engagement shoot in the week before the wedding so that my husband could meet her and she could see us interact together. We were completely confident that our day would go smoothly photography-wise and boy, did it ever! Once in full "game day" mode on our wedding day, Teresa balanced being friendly and accommodating to our wedding party and guests with doing the necessary crowd control to get the shots we asked her to, plus so many others! Her full day coverage allowed us to have pictures from both of our getting ready locations, our first look and then the ceremony and reception at our venue: four locations on a tight timeline which meant over 10 hours of shooting. After our big day, we were psyched to see our sneak preview pop up in our inbox less than 24 hours after the wedding with 100+ photos! Even better, our full album came through at around 3 weeks post-wedding. From what I've heard from other wedding couples, this is exceptional turnaround time compared to the majority of the industry. The photos themselves are nothing short of amazing! Teresa was able to capture the happiness and love we felt on our day and looking through the photos transported us right back to each of the special moments of our day. From our intimate first look to the formal portraits, to photos of our DIY wedding details, to the dance floor candids and our sparkler send off, and everything in between.... WOW! We recommend Teresa to anyone and everyone we can!

  • Serves Old Lyme, CT

My love for photography began over a decade ago when a good friend lent me his camera. I quickly discovered my passion for capturing the beauty of candid moments and the world around me. Outside of photographing couples, I enjoy downhill mountain biking, traveling, nature & landscape photography, hiking, and playing guitar. I live in East Hampton, Connecticut with my beautiful wife (Meg), our two dogs (Tucker & Diamond), and cat (Grace).

Mike was up to our adventurous requests. Photographing our engagement photos, intimate ceremony, and celebration ceremony he did it all! Including braving the cold for our outdoor winter ceremony. Mike was very flexible with our requests, and guided us when we needed it. He was able to get our pictures we wanted and did not consume the whole night! He fit right in on the dance floor with his camera's in hand! Thank you Mike!

My husband and I are enjoying living in the quiet woods of Haddam, CT with our fur babes Kenai and Topaz. Brian and I have been together since 2015 and got married in 2022 at a brewery. Born in New Haven, we’ve had the incredible experience of living around the country including Alaska, Oregon and Colorado. My perfect day is sitting outside in the autumn air drinking espresso while listening to a podcast or reading The Secret, again. The show Outlander is a guilty pleasure though Brian and I are always quoting New Girl and Bob’s Burgers. I love planning adventures, thrillers, football Sundays, wholesome conversation, cozy vibes and markets.

Ashley is someone who is so genuine, kind and understanding. She knows what it takes to capture the most beautiful photos that leave you remembering your day so vividly for a lifetime.

Layne Ann Photography

  • Serves Old Lyme, CT

My name is Layne, I am a 25 year old photographer based out of Connecticut, but always down to get out of here and travel! I have a passion for capturing some of life's most beautiful moments and turning them into a memory you can truly cherish forever. My love for photography has gotten me through some of the worst times and is my saving grace. Because of that, I don't plan on ever putting my camera down. I am not here to put you in the perfect pose; I am here to capture real, authentic emotion! When you open your album I want you to feel something, and I strongly believe those raw emotions come from candid moments that can’t be posed.

Layne Ann Photography was a fantastic choice for our wedding photography. Layne communicated quickly and reliably throughout the planning process, making it easy to coordinate schedules and locations. On our rainy wedding day, Layne brought an upbeat, easygoing energy that kept the photo shoot fun, even when we had to adjust plans last-minute. The photos turned out beautifully - Layne has a real talent for capturing creative shots, and the images vividly showcase the joy and love from our special day. Between the quality of the photographs and Layne's friendly professionalism, we felt we received fantastic value. I wholeheartedly recommend Layne Ann Photography to any couple looking for a talented, communicative photographer to capture the magic of their wedding celebrations.

I cannot say enough good things about our photographer/videographer from sound originals. Our photographer was on it. She paid attention to details, she hyped us all up and never made us feel awkward, communication was excellent, she even helped me put my veil on. Above all else the photographs she captured exceeded every expectation I had. I am the kind of person to take a million pictures of myself and hate them all, but I looked beautiful in every picture. My confidence after seeing those pictures has skyrocketed. She was a true gem of a human, the sidekick every bride needs. She knew when I had enough of posing for photos and wanted to get back to the party, and she never made us feel bad about it at all. I wish for every bride to have an amazing team behind them and just know if you choose to go with sound originals, you will.

More than a decade ago, two sisters - knew there had to be a better way to allow talented photographers and videographers to focus on what they do best -- create gorgeous art -- while providing couples with better support in the planning process. Together, they created an all-inclusive, stress-free environment where couples can choose from talented local photographers and videographers and work with a small team of planning experts equipped and eager to make everything a success. With the pressure gone, you can truly enjoy your big day. Relax and rest assured that all the emotional and moments will be documented with unmatched quality.

We were so pleased with OLAS and glad we hired them for our wedding. By far one of the easiest vendors we worked with. They were prepared, communicative, and always available for questions. We were impressed from the beginning with their clear communication and responsiveness and we stay impressed after seeing the end result. We hired OLAS for photography and videography. Both did an amazing job and we were so happy with the results. OLAS also took the time to understand our needs and the unique cultural components of our ceremony (Indian Catholic ceremony) that needed attention. Highly recommend this company for your wedding. We were also so happy with the video quality - it was like watching a movie!

In the 20 years that I've been photographing professionally, I’ve honed my skill of knowing when to step in and make things happen, and when to step back and simply *allow* things to happen. Documenting the REAL emotion of the day is how we capture those picture-perfect moments. They happen organically, not by force, and I promise you: we're not going to miss ANY of them. = )

Christopher Duggan Photography was a dream to work with for our wedding. Christopher and his team were timely, personal, professional, and compassionate in all of their communication with us. The quality of Christopher's photography is simply exquisite - the images he captured from our wedding day are extraordinary and magical, truly capturing the essence of our special day. Christopher and his team paid such close attention to detail, and made the day so loving and fun. They were a joy to have as part of our wedding day.
