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

Steve was enthusiastic, kind, creative, and flexible with day of changes to our schedule of events. I hate having my photo taken and he put me at ease immediately. I love the photos he took of the ceremony and the family, but my absolute favorite were the candid photos from the dance floor. He was always present, but never obvious, and that allowed for some really joyful and organic shots. The meetings with Steve were helpful in communicating our vision and needs, and he was so responsive! From the beginning of our time working together on engagement photos all the way through to the end of the wedding and sharing of the album, he was professional, fun, and efficient. I can not recommend him highly enough!

I'm a 23-year-old photographer with a passion for capturing life's most memorable moments. I'm a wife, avid crafter, and proud dog-mom. With over 7 years of experience behind the lens, I feel truly honored to document the best moments of my clients' lives, allowing them to look back on these cherished memories for years to come. I had the privilege of studying photography at NHIA, where I was accepted with a scholarship. During my three years there, I immersed myself in the world of film and digital photography, working both in the studio and in nature.

My fiance and I had the opportunity to do our engagement shoot with Julia and we could not be happier with the experience and the results! Before the shoot, we were able to communicate easily with her over text and send ideas to her that she did her best to incorporate into the shoot. I was initially nervous because it was the first time we were taking official photos for the wedding and being in front of the camera is not something I’m very used to. From the minute we met up for the shoot, Julia’s presence and energy immediately put me at ease. She is bubbly, funny and fantastic at giving direction without actually posing you so it just felt like we were on a date and having fun. The pictures she captured truly portray the nature of our relationship as a couple and were exactly what we were envisioning! I cannot recommend her services enough, it was an absolute pleasure to work with her and I look forward to printing the pictures for our home!

Hey there, I’m Shukhrat, a proud husband, a father and an artist. My love for photography started about fifteen years ago with photojournalism. Today, I continue to utilize my skills in capturing beautiful wedding and portrait moments that evoke the same emotions as the real moment. My photography style is diverse and has been refined over the years to showcase my creative vision. I am all about creating stunning, timeless artwork that truly captures the essence of a moment in true to life colors.

Awarded Best of Zola
Shukhrat and his wife Rachel just shot our June 8th wedding and we couldn't be happier. They were amazing to work with and the photos are phenomenal! About the pictures: Shukhrat is versatile and very skilled. When we took our engagement photos he provided us with various styles of photos and editing, and then used our feedback to guide the photos he took at our wedding. He is also flexible. We got married in a city park and there were wayyyy more people in the park than we were expecting at 6:00pm at night. Without missing any of the candid details or true-to-life colors that we wanted, Shukhrat was able to frame the photos and/or alter the lighting so that the park goers were barely visible in the background. Both Shukhrat and Rachel are also very skilled at giving direction when needed, but letting you do your own thing the rest of the time. Neither my husband nor I have a lot of experience in front of a camera—they gave us enough direction to feel confident, without making us feel stifled or overly posed. We wanted photos that felt organic and genuine, and they were really able to capture that. Working with Shukhrat and Rachel: The two of them were a dream to work with. Incredibly professional--very communicative, punctual, quick turnaround time on photos. And they are also just lovely people. You spend so much time on your wedding day with your photographers, it's really important to feel comfortable with them, and we certainly did. They brought both a fun, but calming energy, easing our pre-wedding jitters before the ceremony, and leaning into the excitement as the night went on. Although we hardly know them, they felt like friends. We are so glad we booked Shukhrat for our wedding!

  • Photographer
  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $2,750
  • Serves Sturbridge, MA

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!

We knew going into wedding planning that we wanted a videographer, so we searched online and visited some wedding expos. We met Kristin at a wedding expo and met with her over Zoom a couple times during the wedding planning process. From the beginning, it was fun talking to her about her services, and it was clear that she was punctual, helpful, and professional! We loved her videos she had on her website. During our initial Zoom meeting, we had talked to Kristin about what we were looking for on our wedding day. We definitely wanted to capture the most important parts of the wedding, like the ceremony, portions of the family, wedding party and bride and groom photos, the reception entrances, our first dance, our parent dances, cake cutting, brides bouquet toss, etc. After our Zoom meeting, we knew she was the right fit for what we wanted on our wedding day and we decided to book her! A few weeks before the wedding, Kristin sent us a wedding questionnaire for our specific details about our day to make sure everything was perfect on her end. And on the wedding day, Kristin was awesome! She was able to capture all the special moments of the wedding, and she even got so much more that we were too busy to see the day of. She got some beautiful video of the dress and footage from the bridal prep, as well as a gorgeous shot of the wedding details with my dress in the background. It was a nice piece to see in our wedding video! In the reception space, she captured every detail from the sweetheart table, guest reception tables, guest book, memorial table, seating chart, gift and card table. During the Table Dash to get pictures with all of the guests, Kristin was running around with us to capture those moments! She got a ton of fun and hilarious footage of our guests dancing during the reception as well! We have watched the videos multiple times already, and we (well, especially my husband) can’t help but tear up seeing the beautiful footage and music of our special day. We received four videos: a trailer, a highlights video, a video of the ceremony, and a reception video. Right before the wedding, Kristin asked us for a list of music to use for our videos; we sent her a list of 10-15 songs to choose from, and she used our first dance song for our trailer and five songs for our highlights video. The drone footage, the slow motion effects, the black-and-white portions, and all the amazing editing make the videos all that much better. We received the Vimeo links to our videos just two and a half weeks after the wedding and couldn’t wait to watch them! When we received the USB of our trailer and highlights video, it came in a beautiful wooden keepsake box. After we watched the Vimeo links, we noticed we didn’t have any portions of Kayla and her dad doing air guitar to AC/DC. I emailed Kristin back asking if she could add a little bit of the footage, and she was able to add it right at the end of our reception video, which will be a nice memory for Kayla and her dad! If you’re looking for a fun and professional videographer, look no further than Kristin!

From the moment I booked my appointment with Beautiful Faces by Janis, I knew I was in good hands! Janis and her team were incredibly friendly, kind, and knowledgeable throughout the entire process. On the day of my wedding, Janis and her assistant Sue Ellen went above and beyond, we even had a special moment where they helped me get into my dress when we were running behind schedule. And Sue Ellen was a GENIUS with the corset lace and saved the day by lacing me up! Their patience and attention to detail were truly amazing. Janis brought such warmth and laughter to my wedding party, she is such a character that went out of her way to make you feel like family to her. Not to mention her incredible skills as a makeup artist made me and my bridesmaids look and feel our absolute best.

  • Photographer

I love documenting, observing pretty light, and having a camera on me at all times, even if it's just my phone. When I'm not behind the camera, I'm hanging with my wife and my three kids, exploring new areas in and around Boston, enjoying the great outdoors, or viewing our beloved Boston/New England Sports teams. Go Revs!

Brett is hands down the best wedding photographer we could have ever asked for. He was highly recommended to us by a family member, and honestly, hiring him was the best advice we took throughout the entire wedding planning process. From the start, working with Brett was like working with a close friend. He got to know us and made us feel extremely comfortable in front of the camera. As a result, he was able to capture photos that were meaningful to us. For instance, as bird lovers, we were excited to encounter baby geese while taking our engagement photos, and Brett incorporated them into the shoot for us. The photos he took on our wedding day truly captured the special moments and emotions of that day, and they are absolutely gorgeous without being overly edited. He just has an amazing talent for finding the best light and backdrops for both posed and candid photos. Observing his process was a lot of fun. We will definitely hire Brett again in the future and we would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone.
