My husband and I absolutely adore Kristen. Trying to pick a photographer was an overwhelming decision for us due to the fact that there are so many different styles and we weren’t sure what we were looking for. But once we talked to Kristen on the phone we knew she was the perfect fit for us. Her energy over the phone was so infectious and made us excited to get in front of her camera. Our first time meeting her was at our engagement shoot. We decided to go with a sunrise beach session and Kristen showed up with energy and ready to capture our love. She was down to do any pose and was always hyping us up on how perfect our pictures were coming out. We had so much fun and were just able to relax and be ourselves. This all translated into the beautiful pictures we received from Kristen. From the time of our engagement shoot (July 2023) to our wedding (September 2024) Kristen was always checking in to see how we were doing and how excited she was to shoot our big day. It was so awesome to have constant check ins with her!! The day of our wedding (9/21/24) was so amazing thanks to Kristen. She was with us for majority of the day and always made sure to hype us all up and to make sure I knew I could take breaks from pictures at any time. All of our guests absolutely loved her as much as my husband and I do. 10/10 would recommend her for any photography services. She is amazing to work with, takes beautiful pictures, and is professional but also knows how to have a good time.

Leading up to our wedding day, we met with Ryan again to go through the timeline and our desired photos. We felt 100% confident in the Willow team to capture our special day. Day of, Britt was our photographer and Ryan our videographer. Both of them were professional and fun, and made us feel comfortable and celebrated as an LGBTQ couple.

When searching for a photographer, I was overwhelmed by the number of options available. Dominique didn’t make me feel pressured. She provided us with her wedding guide, which gave us insight into who she is. When we met remotely, I instantly knew she was the one. She was enthusiastic, listened attentively, and asked us questions about what is important to us leading up to the wedding and beyond. She was great to work with, and I knew what to expect.

Lover of those in-betweens, laughter, and timeless moments. I’m here for it all! Let me help you capture them! Whenever you look back at your images I want you to remember the experience – the way he almost dropped you in that one photo because you were laughing that hard – or the time they gave you rapid-fire kisses up the side of your cheek. Basically – let me third wheel you and capture all the love you have for each other.

Awarded Best of Zola
If you’re looking for a photographer look no more. Tati is the one for you! She took our engagement photos and brought my vision to life. Communication is a 10/10, responds almost immediately and is such a nice person. She created a folder solely for our session, and used the inspo pics to pose us and really get the essence of our vibe. Super cool person to work with. Very friendly, and very professional. As for the turn around time, we received a few of our save the date pictures the day after!! Super fast compared to other photographers. Also included some drone pictures, which were some of the best shots. I definitely recommend to anyone. If I wasn’t having a destination wedding, Tati would be my photographer. Highly suggest booking this vendor.

I thrive on getting to know my clients so I can implement their vision to its highest potential, ensuring a comfortable and collaborative environment, and delivering results that exceed expectations. This experience is all about YOU! I just get the pleasure of being along for the ride.

Awarded Best of Zola
One of the best decisions we made was hiring Mallory. We are "so-so" with the camera (not entirely shy but also "what do I do with my hands"- kind of people). Mallory was awesome to show some styles that she was thinking of and looked at some inspiration photos that we picked out (this was done way before engagement shoot and before our wedding day). She made our engagement session super relaxed and fun - her ability to capture "moments" of our relationship left us in awe. She would let us do our thing and then gently guide/direct us, which was exactly what we needed (some guidance with no "stiff" or "don't move" photos). Fast forward to wedding planning, we shared a brief list of "mandatory family photos" and she created a timeline (with our wedding coordinator's timeline) and we gave her full reign on creativity! Again, she excelled! She captured some beautiful moments and looking back - we could FEEL and remember those moments she captured. We are forever in awe of her talent and ability to capture our day. During our wedding day, we unfortunately had a nor'easter come through (some would say good luck) - so lots of rain. Mallory was beyond prepared. She brought us umbrellas (I had also gotten some) and she was quick to make changes as needed. We received SO many compliments on Mallory's work and how well she worked with our other vendors. Additionally, I appreciate that she never "stopped" our day - as in, interrupt what was happening to get a particular photo. Rather, she flowed with our wedding planner and found opportunities to capture literally so many beautiful moments! I'm so happy we trusted her because she saw things that we couldn't and we are forever grateful for that. I cannot recommend her enough!! She gained clients for life :)

My passion for photography stems from my love of travel and capturing life's precious moments. There's nothing more fulfilling than preserving the most beautiful days of your life. Photos are a return ticket to moments gone. My goal is to create lasting memories that inspire and evoke emotions. I believe my purpose is the impact my work has on others. This is my 15th year, and it gets better with each passing year.

What can I possible say about Stacy? If you’re looking for a photographer who will go the extra mile for that special shot, someone will get down and dirty on the dance floor with you and your guests to do something outside the box, and someone who is not afraid to hop in that dance off and show her amazing moves, then look no further because Stacy is your girl!! She is incredibly professional, great at keeping control of a large wedding party to direct everyone perfectly for each shot, and has her timeline of events down pat, even to the point of knowing sunset times to make sure to get you that golden hour shot! Stacy and Shawn are the photography dream team to say the least, and everyone in the wedding party absolutely loved them! They both worked incredibly well with our videographers, whom they had never worked with before, to get the most amazing photos! When my photos came back, I was speechless! They are stunning! More than I could have ever imagined, and I am so incredibly grateful to both Stacy and Shawn for everything that they do!

Hey, I’m Mark, a Rhode Island wedding photographer. I photograph weddings throughout southern RI, the Newport mansions, Cape Cod, and places with character—coastal estates, barns, mills, and rustic spaces. I became a photographer because I love work that brings people joy. Being trusted to capture meaningful moments is deeply rewarding, and it’s what led me to pursue this full-time. I’ve been a professional photographer since 2019. Since then, I’ve photographed over 130 weddings. My focus is creating an experience that feels calm, natural, and genuinely enjoyable—so couples can stay present and focused on the day itself.

I am a wedding photographer from Southeast New England. My love for photography goes back over 15 years and has been intertwined in my creative process ever since. I shot my first wedding 8 years ago and never looked back. I am passionate about capturing the most intimate and special day you will share. With over 150 weddings under my belt, I bring not only top-notch professionalism but a wide array of experience as a wedding photographer.

My husband and I cannot recommend highly enough that you make Colton part of your special day and entire wedding process. He and his team give you incredible photos of memories that will last a lifetime and he really becomes a part time wedding planner at the same time. He helped us every step the way in the planning process and on the big day. He is friendly, helpful, easy to work with, and a total professional every step of the way. If you get the chance to work with him, do it!!

Hi friends! My name is Jess. I never know what to write in these bios but here goes …. I’m a caffeine addict (coffee and Dr Pepper), wife to my high school sweetheart, mom of three active kids, complete artsy nerd, avid fan of Marvel/Disney, legos and puzzles and lastly, a lover of nature and of human connection. Capturing details and moments that you don’t get to stop and relish in the day of your wedding, but will have for the rest of your life, it’s what I love.

My husband and I were lucky enough to have Jess from Jessica Hosey Imagery, LLC as our wedding photographer this past October. Jess is an easy, professional, and down-to-earth person to work with. She made sure not to miss any special moments on our wedding day, and the photos she captured were of the highest quality and absolute perfection. Jess took the time to learn about my family's background prior to the wedding, which helped the formal photo session flow smoothly. Regardless of your wedding budget, Jess makes your day feel so special with her dedication to perfection and attention to detail. We are thrilled with the stunning photos that will allow us to cherish our wedding day forever.
