Awarded Best of Zola
Words cannot adequately describe how amazing, flawless, and special our experience was. From day one, Stephanie's professionalism, eye for detail, true love for photography, and desire to capture the essence of our love story was very clear. Although we are a bit further from Stephanie (eastern MA residents), she committed to coming to southern CT to meet us for our engagement shoot and then to central MA for our wedding. When we were surprised by a pop up thunderstorm right before our ceremony on the big day, Stephanie acted not just as our photographer but as a friend and helped us navigate the nerves and emotions of the change from outdoor to indoor ceremony. Her photos are exactly what we were looking for. When we view them, we are transported right back to that day, and every emotion, every hug, every sentimental moment is there for us to cherish. We HIGHLY recommend Stephanie and her beautiful photography and plan to work with her for many more years to come.

Today, Rajotte Photography offers a team of incredible associate photographers, giving us the ability to serve more amazing couples! I cannot wait to see what we can create together.

Awarded Best of Zola
I got married during covid, which means I had a whole wedding planned prior to the world ending, and then had to replan a whole different wedding in 30 days. Marybeth was the photographer we booked for the wedding day that actually happened. She took the dreamiest photos of a day I could never have imagined. She caught moments that I’ll treasure forever and made a really stressful time that much easier with her professionalism, great communication, patience, and eagerness to capture our wedding day. I can’t sing her praises enough. Your memories are safe in her hands!

Hello there! My name is Brittany and I am so glad you stopped by! I will be the one answering your late night emails, making you laugh during your engagement session, pulling teasers within hours of seeing you, and documenting every precious moment during your wedding day. I have been fantasizing about my own wedding day since I was about three years old and continue to be just as excited about everything wedding related today. I am a crazy cat lady, soon to be wife, and absolute Office fanatic.

Brittany is amazing! She is so talented as a photographer, and she's also an expert at weddings! While planning, I was most nervous about the timeline of the day, and Brittany helped me with all of that! She created the timeline for the day, and I had nothing to worry about. Brittany arrived right on time, and she was so organized and calm. We discussed a portrait list before the wedding, so Brittany knew exactly which shots we wanted. My family was so impressed with her! My husband and I felt so comfortable in front of the camera, and Brittany encouraged us to have fun and laugh. We don't look posed in any of our photos. Brittany has a way of making everyone look natural!

My name is, yensy marquez Born in the Dominican Republic where I spent my early childhood before moving to the United States at the age of 5. I have always had love for the arts and music. I spent my teenage years drawing cartoons and Japanase manga. I discovered my love for photography during my late teenage years when I got my hands on my first cellphone with a camera. I was always the go to picture person during family events and gatherings. Though they were admittedly average at the time, everyone loved them and always encouraged me to get a real camera. I finally saved up for one and never looked back.

I grew up in Lindenhurst, New York and had my first photography exhibit at the Lindenhurst Library. When I was in High School, my father worked for the airlines, so I got to travel the world taking pictures. I displayed them at the library and was hooked. I’ve been a professional wedding and portrait photographer since 1985.

My husband and I worked with Park Ave Studio for our photos as a part of our wedding package. Our photographer, Erica, was great! She got great shots of our guests and also took beautiful formal and artistic shots of us and our wedding party. We got over 30 teasers within a week of our wedding and then 1300 photos a few weeks later. The turnaround was impressive and the quality was great. The photographers are also really familiar with the venues they typically work with, which is a bonus in that they know all the good shots to take

I am a Long Island based Wedding & Portrait Photographer that loves a good adventure. I'm the guy who just truly enjoys being behind a camera. I definitely think I got into photography because my Mom always was behind a camera. Most of the time she was the team Mom, and was frequently seen on the sidelines snapping photos of everything she could. It was her interest in photography that led me to appreciate what it takes to create a beautiful photograph.

I cannot say enough good things about Mike. I’ve known for years I wanted him as my photographer and was so happy he was available on my wedding day. Easy to work with, flexible and extremely helpful. Pictures are stunning. I’m so grateful he was my photographer.

I am passionate about love, all types, all stories. It is my purpose to capture intimate moments of human existence through the lens of my camera. I am honored to get to live these special moments with all of my clients. Since starting wedding photography full-time 5 years ago, I’ve worked with countless couples to capture their proposals, engagements, weddings and elopements. My goal with every session or event is to leave with casually constructed as well as charming candid photos of my clients and to form a lifelong friendship along the way. Let’s talk!

Awarded Best of Zola
We’ve had the pleasure of working with Reese for 3 different photo shoots! First, Reese was hired as our surprise photographer when my (then boyfriend) proposed to me on Shelter Island. Reese did an absolutely amazing job hiding out until the moment struck, and I didn’t realize she was even there capturing each precious moment until she finally popped out with the most genuine excitement! She made that day even more special, and having her take our photos for the next hour after saying “yes” was the perfect way to celebrate. We immediately hired her to shoot our engagement session to compile photos for our save the dates, invitations, and wedding website. She traveled into Manhattan for us and created the most fairytale and dreamlike photo shoot all around the most picturesque places in Central Park! Of course, Reese was also our wedding photographer and we can’t imagine that day without her. She is so creative, full of fun energy, thoughtful, organized, timely, and above all talented! Each and every photo she’s taken is instantly our favorite and we have already locked her down for another photo shoot for our anniversary. Shooting with Reese is like shooting with your best friend, and as soon as you meet her she becomes just that :).

Our relationship is the driving force behind our work and lives. In the past we have worked with some of New York's leading wedding studios. During this time we felt something was missing. Let the couples be who they are in the most 'vero' way possible. We want our couples to tell us their story. To share with us their most authentic moments. We are so happy that our work has brought you here and more than anything else, hope it makes you feel something. We firmly believe that when it comes to picking a studio for your special day it needs to be a right fit for you.

We are so happy with our decision to work with Steph and Dhruv for our engagement and wedding photos and video! They took so much care in all of the details you can imagine. And a huge shoutout to Steph for making me comfortable in front of a camera, where usually I shy away. The finished products are absolutely fantastic, and we could not be happier with the quality and beauty of the photos and video we have from our day. Another shoutout to Dhruv for being so down to take an amazing video of my wife playing the drums at the wedding. Steph and Dhruv both are truly amazing and talented and have such a great vision for their work. Thank you guys so much!

I never lose sight of the happy couple in the big crowd. Authentic meets relaxed and intimate, yet captures all the feels. I ONLY shoot couples and weddings. I believe in the phrase " do one thing, and do it really well"

My husband and I were so honored to have Elise as our photographer for our wedding. From our initial phone conversation, we immediately had such a good feeling about her and her work. Elise quickly proved that we had made the right choice and she far exceeded our expectations. Considering that we had our wedding during the pandemic, Elise helped to do what she could to make us comfortable the whole way through. She made the day considerably less stressful than it could have been and we will be forever grateful. She walked us through every step of the process and was eager to scope out the venue beforehand to get us the best possible shots. Elise was able to candidly capture the most precious moments of us and our families. The turnaround was very quick and we were so delighted with the results! Working with her was such a pleasure and I will continue to recommend her for any photo-worthy event.

With years of experience and a commitment to excellence, my photography business is dedicated to providing exceptional service and stunning images that will be cherished for years to come.

Our entire experience from start to finish working with Lana Rowe Photography was seamless and enjoyable. Leading up to the day Lana was very clear on how the whole day would run, she gave us a timeline, and let us know everything we needed before hand. The day of was just as seamless. Lana did my photos and her 2nd photograph did my husband’s at a separate location. Both were punctual, professional, and well prepared. Lana was able to get all the shots needed in the short time we had between the church and reception. Some of the men in our bridal party are not fans of having their picture taken, even they said it was the most enjoyable and productive wedding shoot they have had to do. Our pictures came out incredible. Lana has a great eye for the perfect shot. Everyone who saw them said they were stunning. Highly recommend!

Heather is our in-house professional photographer who has an artistic obsession with natural light. When she’s not wrangling your next of kin for formals by asserting her east coast kindness, you will probably find her in the woods, holding her hand in the air to catch a reflection of the sun’s rays. She has a knack for finding locations that make natural surroundings look like professional sets, placing her subjects in an ethereal glow that’s usually reserved for storybook endings. An experienced industry professional through-and-through, she navigates the timeline of the day with a caring, hospitable hand and a keen artistic eye.

Perfect wedding photographers. We threw a lot their way with very vague guidelines and they captured everything. They also dealt with a downpour of rain and a power outage, but were troopers the whole time. High quality, good pricing, easy to work with, would totally recommend 10/10!

The JBP Team is group of talented artists that all share in the same creative vision of wedding photography led by Janelle Brooke and Terrie Alfieri. Our goal is to provide unparalleled artistic imagery, personalized attention and overall, an exceptional experience to every couple we work with.

Throughout the last year and a half, Janelle has become not just our wedding photographer but a trusted confidant for all things wedding, a shoulder to lean on and a forever friend. That goes for Amy, too. No question has ever been too silly, no idea out of place. From the moment we met Janelle, she just made us feel SO comfortable (and surprisingly, posing for wedding photos with your soon to be spouse is not always the most natural thing). She has an eye for the beauty in simple moments but also knows how to to capture the dreamiest scenes. already knew that Janelle would have our backs, but especially on our wedding day, Janelle was the most calm and centered presence for me and was able to read my mind with just a look at her about what worked and what wasn’t working. But that is what you can expect from working with someone like Janelle- she understands you and makes dreams, truly come true. Because seeing even just our highlight photos this weekend was an experience I will never forget. They were beyond my wildest dreams and I will truly treasure them forever. What I will treasure more, though, is the memories we have of working with Janelle and her team, including Mary, our second shooter of the day, who was able to wrangle all of the groomsmen together and keep them excited and organized, and who also was capturing each and every single detail so beautifully; and Kevin, who was a very much welcome third-shooter who was our personal hype man throughout the entire day, as he was genuinely excited to be with us and was truly up for anything. Literally, the entire team went along with my crazy plea to go outside despite the fact that it was pouring the entire day, but there was a 10 minute block of sun that we chased and thank goodness we did. They also agreed to photograph us in the rain at the end of the night and those pictures, too, are just magical. This review could truly go on forever about how much we love Janelle and her team. If you are lucky enough to be able to book Janelle for your wedding day (or any life event), I promise that it will be the best decision you will make throughout your event planning. Full Stop. Thank you, Janelle, for everything!
