Shawnee Custalow Studios 

5.0

  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $4,700
  • Serves Pleasant Valley, CT

We are passionate about photographing kind-hearted people who are unapologetically themselves, and creating a safe and beautiful space in the wedding world for LGBTQ+ folx. Our favorite people to work with believe in giving back to their communities, that black lives always matter, that climate change is you know...real, and choose to embrace their own unique quirks and talents.

Awarded Best of Zola
When you elope in the middle of a pandemic, it matters all the more that you love your photographer--since they'll be the only other person at your wedding. :) And in short, we couldn't be happier that ours was Shawnee. She has such a gift and a love for the work she does—and it shows. We knew she was the right person from the moment we met on Zoom--she is warm and kind, asked all the right questions, and instantly put us at ease. My partner and I eloped at the end of October 2020 in DC, just before the election. It was a whirlwind moment for so many reasons, especially as a queer couple. And it mattered to us that the person who captured those treasured memories, really understood what that moment meant to us. Everyone who sees our photos marvels at how wonderful they are—and no doubt we look great, but Shawnee’s warmth and direction and stellar eye really made all the difference. Vibing with your photographer matters—we’re so grateful to have found one with such grace and as much love for her art as Shawnee. <3

When we are not working we are outdoors or sitting by the fire. We love traveling to places where the earth is at its greatest. Our superpower is that we know what you are thinking. lol. Our style is Honest, Emotional, Intuitive, and Real. We love traveling anywhere in the world, as long as we're together!

I have worked with Jacklyn & Chris for 2 years now and their professionalism and communication is the best I have ever encountered and don't get me started on their photography. I am blown away on their work every time I see a photo of theirs. Jacklyn has become a friend over the years but that doesn't take away from her level of professionalism and level of service she offers to our clients. I cannot recommend a better photographer for anyone I know. JAG Studios is amazing!!!

Andrea Van Orsouw Photography 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,400
  • Serves Pleasant Valley, CT

My couples mean the world to me. I love hearing their stories, what makes them tick, and the things that are important to them. It’s my goal to capture them exactly the way they are; how they crack jokes, poke fun, dance together, hold one another. I’m there to capture the genuine tears, the laughs, how you just fit so well together. With directive posing, I bring out real chemistry and personalities. With my laid back vibe, I’ll ensure even the photo-heavy parts of the day are a breeze. I believe every single part of a wedding should be a blast and that every couple should be celebrated in their own unique way.

I could not have asked for a better person to capture my wedding! On our wedding day, it poured rain and I was absolutely devastated that the outdoor wedding I had been dreaming of was not happening. As I was sitting there faced with that reality, about to ruin my makeup with tears, Andrea swooped in like a superhero and genuinely made me feel like the rain was a good thing. She was the only voice of reason that made me feel like everything was still perfect. She ran around in the rain with us all day capturing the most gorgeous photos and I didn’t feel like I missed out at all. She was prepared with clear umbrellas and we actually had fun! She is also just so talented, the pictures and the saturation are just absolutely gorgeous, and not only that but she also has an absolute talent for capturing joy and movement. All my vendors have chosen to use her photos from my wedding on their websites, seriously just hire her!!!

Nithya Sharma Photography 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $1,800
  • Serves Pleasant Valley, CT

I've been in love with the art of photography for as long as I can remember, and I'm truly blessed to be able to pursue my passion every day. Growing up all over the world (Sweden, India, and Denmark to name a few!), my love of photography grew from my desire to capture the places and people I wanted to remember the most. What I love most is the incredible honor of being part of your special day and capturing the deep emotions behind the photograph.

Nithya is a wonderful photographer- very easy to work with and flexible. We just received our pictures and they’re exactly what I asked for! Nithya was such a calming presence during our wedding and extremely professional and helpful. We’re both people who are a bit camera shy which probably made Nithya’s job so much harder - and yet - she made every effort to make us comfortable.

Yaritza Colon Photography 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $6,000
  • Serves Pleasant Valley, CT

I did not not grow up with a camera in my hand knowing I wanted to be a photographer. I started with photography by photographing Punk/Hardcore bands but eventually stopped photographing those shows because I didn't want my camera gear to get broken by someone stagediving. Being apart of that music scene help me cultivate friendships with people all over the world, and gave me lots of travel opportunities. Those experiences carried over into weddings helping me understand real documentary style moments and being comfortable surrounded by new people.

I had the pleasure of working with Yaritza for my engagement photos & wedding and can't recommend her highly enough. Her communication style is fun, easy-going, while still professional, making the entire process a breeze. Yaritza has a keen eye for detail and captures authentic, candid moments that truly tell the story of our special day. She even had her husband come meet us with a pedicab for some late-night city photos, which was such a thoughtful and above-and-beyond gesture. If you're looking for a wedding photographer who won't miss a single special moment, Yaritza Colon Photography is the perfect choice.

Amanda is truly one of the sweetest humans I’ve had the pleasure of meeting! From our first call, it felt like we were old friends catching up. Amanda is incredibly professional and personable, and of course her work is absolutely gorgeous. We did an engagement session with Amanda a few months before the wedding which helped us get comfortable with her and allowed us to get to know her better. Aside from that, Amanda frequently checked in to make sure planning was going smoothly and was incredibly responsive when we had questions! On the wedding day, Amanda arrived early and I was so excited to see her and she instantly eased my anxiety. Throughout the day, Amanda calmed my nerves and was so supportive and helpful with anything that we needed! Amanda also made sure that she captured all of the specific shots that we requested and made sure she did not leaving without ensuring that we were happy! We cannot wait to see our photos!

Tyler is the best! My fiancee and I booked LeannWilliams after meeting them at a bridal expo. His work was stunning; truly works of art that so happened to feature a bride and groom. We were blown away by the lighting and composition of his photos but that was before working with him. Tyler is professional, responsive, and prompt. Aside from that he is creative, hilarious, great with people, and so laid back and flexible. We are not exactly 'picture people' but he steered us through the whole process with such ease it felt like we were all old friends.

Lightwave is completely customizable to your needs and style. We make it easy to capture your most precious moments by matching you with artists based on your unique event, vision, and budget. Our services include Photography, Videography, Live Music, DJ, Lighting, Photo Booth, and Other services for Weddings, Corporate Events, Parties, and more. We operate across the USA, Canada, & Europe, and travel around the world.

FIVE STARS!! I knew my wedding day was going to fly by and I wouldn’t be able to witness every moment so having a good videographer was one of the most important things on my list. I felt discouraged with how much videographers seemed to cost though, until I booked Silver Arrow Band and saw you could also book videography services through them with a 10% discount when you booked both. I watched a few of their videos and was blown away, it was everything I was looking for! We did the full package of two videographers, full ceremony, speeches, and dance coverage, and the best part - drone footage! Our venue Saltwater Farm Vineyard is on a beautiful estuary and I was really hoping to cover both the nature and the important moments of our big day. The videographers were amazing to work with. They were both so kind, helpful, and made sure to capture every moment big or small. They had the groom and officiant properly mic’d up so they could capture every word. The teaser, the highlight reel, and the fully ceremony and speeches are incredible! They were able to capture all of our favorite moments. It was also so great seeing how much fun our guests were having. I promise your money is well spent if you book Lightwave Event Artists!

Weefan Photography 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $1,595
  • Serves Pleasant Valley, CT

My name is Lauren McCarthy. My parents, photographers Wendy & Charlie McCarthy began Weefan Photography in 2001. At 11, I started watching them photograph events and weddings, and the first wedding I photographed, just as I remember my first day of school. For the past fourteen years, I have mastered each and every job related to the wedding photography business. After graduating from Siena college in 2019, I was invited by my parents to manage our family's business of professional photography, and assume the duties of managing our New York Office. ​

Weefan was referred to us by my husband's best friend and I was not disappointed. Lauren was so amazing to work with from the moment I reached out to even after my wedding. She's very responsive and knowledgeable about the industry and it's different trends. The day of the wedding, Lauren and her team came in and took control. There wasn't one moment I was worried things weren't going to come out how I wanted them. They even stayed a little later to take a few extra family photos for us. When we got our sneak peeks back, I was absolutely in love! They were amazing and I cannot wait to receive the rest of our photos! If you're thinking of booking Weefan Photography, definitely do it. You will not be disappointed!

Hi I'm Mia! I am an award winning photojournalist looking forward to capturing the story of your wedding day. You will look back on the images from your big day for a lifetime, and they will live on forever. I begin by listening to you, I want to hear your story. I'll help you visualize your day, create and edit your Timeline making sure we capture your day just as you've always dreamed. My approach is relaxed, open, and authentic. I focus on you & your guests- the expressions and emotions while paying attention to lighting, composition and the split second moments that capture your love and the love of everyone around you!

Mia has a keen eye for life’s most precious moments, both big and small. She is aware of her surroundings, leveraging the time of day, weather, and natural beauty of the world around her to incorporate in your photos. She’ll pay attention to the placement of your hair, the flow of your dress, the positioning of your hands so that you don’t have to. When she says with excitement “I got the shot!”, know you have something gorgeous to look forward to. Set your expectations high, in the photos delivered to you, you will have bright eyes, glowing, even skin, and the odds and ends will be smoothed out. In 20,30, 40 years from now, you can look back at your beloved photos and get lost in the moments all over again. Her style isn’t one of overprocessing or creating artificial drama. She’ll capture the natural colors, shadows, highlights, texture, and movement of your best day ever in an authentic way. My favorite part of working with Mia isn’t her incredible talent, quality equipment, or editing skills, it’s her personality. Mia is that Aunt or family friend I always wished I had; kind, knowledgeable, and so very generous with her time. She sincerely wants to get to know you and your partner and is invested in your success not just today, but in the years to come. My best advice to anyone that works with Mia; ask for her advice and collaborate with her on your creative vision upfront. Months later, on your wedding day, when every guest and every vendor wants something moments of your time, Mia will advocate on your behalf, get “the shot” and then some, and ensure your dreams take flight. Marshall and I had the pleasure of working with Mia at our bridal shower and our wedding. We look forward to working with her on future projects for many years to come.

Carla Ten Eyck Photography 

5.0

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $4,700
  • Serves Pleasant Valley, CT

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!

The Leighton Co 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves Pleasant Valley, CT

The Leighton Co. is a husband and wife photography and filmmaking team documenting stories of love and life through intentional, modern, and genuine imagery. We believe that when the day isn't solely focused around the photos and video, then THAT is when you get the best footage.

I highly recommend Becca and Scott. I sent in an inquiry form, and soon after Becca scheduled a call for us to discuss what we envisioned for our wedding day and to tell us about their different packages. We were not certain that we wanted a videographer, but Becca and Scott helped to guide us to make the best choice for us. Leading up to our wedding day, Becca was great about communicating with us. And best of all she created a day of timeline for us! I was so stressed about the timing of the day, but once I saw her suggested timeline, I knew it would work out great. On the day of our wedding, both Becca and Scott were awesome. They were supportive and kind, making sure that we were comfortable and able to be where we wanted to. We never felt awkward or like we were “forcing it” for the cameras. Post wedding, Becca and Scott were again great about communicating with us about when they would deliver our finalized photos and video. Both our engagement and wedding photos/ videos are beautiful. The Leighton Co has a timeless style that we love, and they do a great job of capturing you and your day as it is. It is very obvious how much hard work they put in, and how dedicated they are to the couples they work with. I know that we will look back at our pictures and videos for many years and instantly remember how loved we felt that day.
