YensyMPhotography

  • Photographer

  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves West Hartford, CT for additional fees

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
From the very beginning it was a pleasure dealing with yensy. He was thoughtful, insightful and full of ideas. He came early for the wedding day, and took fantastic photos. He delivered beautiful previews the day after and we were absolutely in love with them. Would definitely recommend him.

Awarded Best of Zola
We had Pepe do our photo shoot for our wedding announcements at the venue. It was during covid and he was very professional. He took amazing candid shots not posed and had great artistic impression for backdrops as well as lighting and close up shadow photos. He did such a great job we hired him back to photograph the wedding. The results were fantastic and everyone adored the results from family photos, the ceremony, and the after party, and didn’t even miss the room decor. Pepe stayed well into the night and kept candid shots of the guests partying well into the night. All of the photos were ours to digitally keep. I would highly recommend.

If I had a superpower, it would be celebrating people. I'm my friends' biggest cheerleader and I'll be yours too during this whole process! As a documentary wedding photographer, I focus more on being in the moment and letting you be YOU, by reminding you why you fell in love in the first place.

When you choose Loretta, you’re not just selecting a wedding photographer. You’re making a new friend. Loretta - and her husband Juan - have been such a blessing to us throughout the entire process. From our first zoom meeting where her genuine good & joyful spirit came through the screen, to turning an engagement photoshoot into a fun double date at our favorite pizza place. The person she is truly separates her from anyone else you’ll select for your big day, not to mention she has INCREDIBLE skills with the camera. Both the indoor & outdoor portions of our wedding day have their own specific look and we loved the way she portrayed our beach setting AND the dance floor moments in all her photos. OH ONE MORE THING - our reception ended at 11:30pm on a Sunday. She gave us a “sneak peek” of over 100 photos within 12 hours that we were able to share with all our friends & family the next day! Our wedding day/night was such a blur, yet we were able to relive it the next day in every moment that she captured on camera. If you want outstanding customer service, brilliant professional photography and a lifelong friend, Loretta Rodriguez is the way to go!

Awarded Best of Zola
If you are considering using Ultimate Entertainment for your wedding, book them RIGHT NOW! My husband and I went to a wedding (before we were even engaged) and I said if we got married, this would be my first phone call. Sure enough, as soon as we had our venue booked we called Rob. Rob doesn’t just come to your wedding, Rob IS your wedding. I can’t count how many people said they’ve never seen such a fun wedding DJ team or how many people said they never dance at weddings, but they got up & danced at ours. Rob’s energy set the vibe not only for the whole reception, but for the entire planning process. We had a Christmas themed wedding (12/22) and Rob took that idea and ran with it. It felt like one big Christmas party and we couldn’t have been happier. His team also made the whole planning process so easy—they answered emails quickly, and they were always all so friendly. We also used them for our photo booth and it was great—we ended up forgetting to put out our guest book, so the photo booth scrapbook was a lifesaver. We can’t say enough good things about UE—if you need a team for your event, look no further, you won’t find better.

Nina McCandless is an events professional with more than 18 years experience executing exquisite, gorgeous, memorable events all over the world. Obsessed with the details and in pursuit of achieving an indelible finish, she's worked with brides, elopers, corporate clients, HNIs and well-known brands like Coach, Fendi, NBC Universal, and Glamor Magazine, to name a few. Since 2019, this talented and zen planner has branched out fully into the wedding industry and loves working with couples to create a magical wedding celebrations, and planning unforgettable honeymoons.

Nina is not what you'd expect of a wedding planner - she is so much more. Besides the fact that she has impeccable taste, an easygoing hat about her, expert knowledge and tons of vendor relations, she made me feel from the first day of hiring her through the moments when the wedding was over and I was sharing photos, that everything would be perfect. Like a coach, she put a few of my expectations, all of my anxiety and some of my to-do list in check, but did so with such professionalism and calmness, that I feel in hindsight her fee was more than worth it. I was apprehensive about paying a planner for something I truly believed I could do. Later than I'd like to admit, I became overwhelmed and seriously behind as the actual day neared. I was referred to Nina by my fiancé's friend [note that my fiancé was so over me planning the wedding me on my own]. I had fun on my day, I was relaxed and look like I was truly enjoying our day in ALL the photos. Adding that Nina also flew in a DJ from Miami who I was and am a fan of. I thought it would be a gazillion dollars, but it was just a little bit more than the local DJs. Her industry experience def gives her an edge and made us look super cool.

The best decision you can make for your wedding (besides your soon to be spouse!) is to hire Hector. We bought one of the packages with music, lights, and photo booth. All I heard throughout the night was “I love every song!” Or “this is my favorite song!” I was worried that no one would be dancing and the floor was packed all night. We didn’t want the dancing to end. Not to mention that the photos from the photo booth were amazing, lots of great props. I had no idea how weddings work - schedule, timetables, etc. Hector patiently explained what should be done when, helped with music selections for cocktail hour and dinner, kept us on schedule all night, and overall was a really fun addition to the party. His online system is really easy to use. Also, I felt that he went above and beyond the call of DJ, seeing as my dress caught on the door as I’m about to walk down the aisle and have no hands free. He was there fixing it before anyone could notice what happened. He handled every curve ball With ease and minimal stress for me - like changing dates due to Covid, caterers setting up tables where the photo booth was to go, forecast of pouring rain for our outdoor wedding, etc etc. I was stressed out enough and I can’t describe how helpful it was to be working with someone who minimized stressful situations or took care of things without me even knowing about them. Thank you Hector for everything you did to help create the best night of my life! We are so grateful!

My "why" sits with the reason why we document moments in the first place—to feel fleeting moments again. I strive to photograph your day in such a way that when you and your loved ones look back on that day, you can FEEL it unfold all over again. Photographs are our family heirlooms, keepsakes, and the greatest gift to our story. The older I get, the more I see the true value in a photograph that captures the deeply authentic love that brought two people together. Wedding photography is about a collection of moments, and I set out to capture each and every one of them.

Sydney is so much more than your average photographer. She captures the smallest and most meaningful details that often go unnoticed but play such a large role in pulling together your special day. There’s absolutely no awkwardness with her- even with a groom who HATES being in front of the camera, she finds a way to make everyone comfortable and makes everyone show their true selves in front of the camera. From big moments to small- she captured them all beautifully. We could not recommend working with Syd anymore!!

Kelton from Marquee Artists was amazing! He was a communicative and active participant in the planning of the music and the announcements at my wedding on March 9. Kelton provided an extensive list of potential songs to play in a shared Google Document with columns for “play” and “do not play” which was great. Also, I was impressed that he attended the walk through of the Whittemore House a month prior to the wedding, asking pertinent questions of the Whittemore staff about the placement of various things and how best to provide the sound amplification that would be needed. He provided wireless mics which worked really well for the toasts. Kelton did a great job as the master of ceremony and his mix of the selected music was fun and fabulous. He had the crowd dancing, rocking to the music. Many of the older folks told me that they hadn’t danced in years but were having lots of fun doing so then. Having him on our wedding team instilled so much confidence in me, my daughter and new son-in-law, who is an amateur DJ. They were so taken by Kelton that, if possible, they would like to attend future events at which Kelton is the DJ!! I HIGHLY recommend him.

Hi there! We're a husband and wife photography team that loves capturing genuine emotion and real moments at your wedding. We believe that there's magic in everything, and our goal as your storytellers is to capture that magic in a way that's honest and true to who you are. We focus on the unique elements that tell the tale of your day, so your final wedding gallery has a timeless storybook feel.

Jaime & Eddie were the photography duo of our dreams. Their balance of artistry and realism comes together to make the most beautiful images that capture the joy and emotion of our day, while still hitting on all the major “bridal” points. From the beginning, Jaime and Eddie vibed so well with us, really taking our vision for engagement photos to the next level (even driving us around Boston in their car to find hidden gems). They took the lead on ensuring our wedding timeline was well rounded and encompassed everything we wanted to do for the day (even taking the curve ball of a boat ride in the middle of cocktail hour in stride). Although they had never shot our venue before, they drove over on their own time ahead of the weekend to walk around the property - truly going the unnecessary extra mile. The results of their calm and professional, yet fun and lighthearted nature are incredibly beautiful. A mere day or two after our wedding, we had dozens of stunning sneak peeks to look through and share. A month later, we are still getting compliments on how amazing they were in person and how beautiful the finished product is. Could not recommend them more!

Some fun facts about me: - Iced coffee is the way to my heart. - In my free time, you can find me playing Animal Crossing or Skyrim on my Nintendo Switch. - Autumn is my favorite season! Cozy sweaters all day, please. - I love true crime podcasts and documentaries. - Sobriety is one of the most beautiful life experiences, and I get to re-experience it every day. - I freakin' LOVE camping in the woods and sitting by a fire. - My guilty pleasure? Reality TV shows. You can catch me watching Love Island, Too Hot to Handle, Love is Blind and The Kardashians. - I have seen every episode of Law-and-Order SVU. Yes, all 25 seasons (and counting)

I was on the fence on hiring a planner and let me just say, I am soooo thankful I chose to do so. Amy was amazing to work with and made my day so much easier as I did not have to worry about anything. We discussed where and how I wanted the decorations and she executed it so perfectly, it was exactly how I imagined. She even came in clutch multiple times with bobby pins when I decided I no longer wanted my front hair pieces out as well as double sided sticky patches to hold my lightweight memorial items down on the table as it was an outside event & rainy. I am so grateful for her taking so much stress off my shoulders!!

Hiring AMP was the all time BEST decision we could have made for our wedding! We had immediate comfort and trust in them from the first time we spoke, and the show they put on for our day was better than we ever could have imagined. They were incredibly responsive and helpful throughout the whole process of planning and had no problem with even the most far-fetched ideas (including my wife surprising me by getting up and playing the drums with the band). If we asked each and every person what their favorite part of our wedding was, hands down it was the music. Ana, Jimmy, and the rest of the band had everyone dancing the entire night without question. It was hit after hit after hit with the whole crowd! So many people rushed to us to ask how we got so lucky finding them. Ana and Jimmy truly respected and acknowledged everyone’s pronouns and made everyone in our family and party seen and comfortable through the entire process. AMP put their entire heart and soul into every performance. Their passion is so evident with each song they play, and their energy is just contagious. You cannot help but smile and dance throughout their whole set. And the TALENT! The talent is through the roof! All of our guests were completely shocked at the level of professionalism and talent AMP brought to our event. I cannot stress enough how utterly amazing AMP is. Do yourself a huge favor and book them, you will not regret it for a second.

Hi everyone! I am an Easton, MA based photographer, wife, and mom of four. Photographing weddings makes brings me so much joy-I love being a part of your big day! My photography style is more photojournalistic- I do my best to capture genuine emotion and those special moments you'll never want to forget.

Cori was a joy to work with. I had wonderful communication with her, starting about a year before my wedding. She brainstormed ideas with me, understood the vision I had for my pictures, and helped me feel at ease the day of. My wedding happened to occur during a northeastern, which caused a lot of anxiety on my end. She continually stayed connected with me the week leading up to my wedding, during the storm, and reassured me that we would make the pictures happen. Cori takes the time to get to know her brides and understand who they are, which helps her to master the perfect pictures.

We had a pescatarian event and they accommodated the restrictions really wonderfully. We were so thankful to get to work with them, and they really thought of all the details and meaningfully contributed to the day going smoothly (from coordinating wine and water service, to making sure everything was set up in advance). I would hire PKE again in an instant and can’t recommend them enough for your wedding!

I like to think of myself as a lil bit southern, lil bit punk, and a whole lotta rock-n-roll. I’m a PBR lover, hardcore show corner dweller, disco ball queen. You’re going to hear me say, “hell yeah, brother” more than twice, Dale Earnhardt is an icon, and Dolly Parton is royalty. You'll love me if you're a little trashy, always classy, badass, sometimes chic, forever romantic. Unwedding, editorial, nontraditional, offbeat, colorful, joyful, film-inspired, and disco vibes always. If you like, I'll wear a rainbow suit, I'll definitely dance with your mom, and I will always be a champion for you and your lover.

Kathleen is AMAZING. She did our engagement photos and I cannot speak highly enough. She was so cool to work with, had a great eye for location, and was so fantastic with coordinating our forever-awkward selves to get some incredible shots. We both get very anxious on camera but she made the whole experience so safe and welcoming that we ended up having a so much fun. Her communication throughout has been absolute top tier - we knew exactly what to expect every step of the way - and the end result is beyond our wildest dreams. 10/10, cannot recommend her enough and can’t wait to work with her again in the future!

HI there! My name is Natalie and I own Natalie Kathryn Photo! I love having the privilege to capture you on the best day of your life! I absolutely love weddings and being able to be there for every part of your day!

Wedding photos were such an important part in planning my wedding. I wanted to make sure I was investing in something high quality and would match the editing style my husband and I prefer. Natalie and her teams photos are just that. While she was who did all our final edits, she was not able to be present on my wedding day. Instead two girls who she works closely with did my wedding photos. I was a bit nervous about this at first but after working with Natalie I put full trust that her recommendations would not let me down. We are so thrilled with our sneak peaks and are so glad we trusted this team. Everyone was so great in making sure we got the posed photos we wanted but also capturing moments as they happened. Looking forward to receiving our full gallery. If anyone is looking for bright and romantic photos, look no further.
