I was born and raised in the smallest little state, Rhode Island! With that comes a huge appreciation for the coast and a realization that magic can be found in even the smallest of details. Growing up in a small town where time seems to go by slower helped me learn the value of genuine connections which have now become apart of who I am.

Hello, I'm Hayden. I've been photographing weddings across Connecticut and New England for over a decade, more than I can count at this point, but each one still feels special. I take a hybrid approach to photography with both digital and film photography for weddings. Every wedding is different, but the best ones share something in common: they feel authentic. My job isn't to stage perfection; it's to document the real, beautiful, chaotic, joyful moments that make your day yours.

Eli and his team were AMAZING. They were early yo the venue and took little detail pictures. Made sure we got “getting ready” shots even tho we didn’t get ready at the venue. And got every single picture we asked for. My husband and I were very nervous about the staged photos being unorganic, but the team made everyone feel comfortable and coach us through how to make things look natural and timeless. I could not have asked for a better photographer and videographer team

  • Serves Ashford, CT

Hi, I’m Allison, and I’ve had the privilege of photographing weddings for over 10 years. My background with USA Gymnastics in sports photography (including the 2020, and 2024 Olympic Trials) has taught me to capture every moment with precision and artistry, making sure no detail goes unnoticed. Because of my commitment to the gymnastics season, I limit the number of weddings I take on each year. This means I can give each couple the time and attention they truly deserve, creating a personalized gallery that tells the beautiful story of their day. I’d love to work with you to capture your unforgettable moments!

From the moment we first reached out to Allison, we were impressed by her friendly and personable communication style. Allison provided us with fast turnaround time on our photos (which is perfect because I’m impatient!) The couples session we did was also a ton of fun. Allison was easy to work with throughout the entire process. My partner and I are thrilled with the photos that were captured. Thank you for creating pictures that will last a lifetime!

  • Serves Ashford, CT

My husband and I enjoy living in the quiet woods of Eastern CT with our fur babies Kenai and Topaz. We have been together since 2015 and got married in 2022 at a brewery. I've had the incredible experience of living around the country including AK, OR and CO (yes I love the snow!). My perfect day is sitting outside in the autumn foliage drinking espresso while listening to a podcast or reading on my kindle. The shows Outlander and Stranger Things are my vibe though I'm always quoting New Girl and Bob’s Burgers. I live for cozy coffee yaps, farmers markets, and serendipitous moments.

ASHLEY IS THE BEST!! 100% my new bff. She is so funny, kind, and easy to work with. We got to know her while doing our engagement photos and it made her feel like family the day of. I’m so glad we used her, the photo sneaks we got back were dreamy, romantic, and so moody. Her editing style is flawless and her ability to capture the candid moments is exactly what we wanted. We cannot recommend her enough, definitely the best in her field!!!!

She made us feel so comfortable and at ease, which is exactly what you need when you’re juggling nerves and excitement. On our wedding day, Britt was a total pro.

She captured so many beautiful, candid moments that we’ll truly cherish forever. Britt also delivered our photos exactly within the timeframe she promised, something we really appreciated during the post-wedding whirlwind.

  • Serves Ashford, CT

I am a self-proclaimed nerd and total goofball who is always up for an adventure, especially if it means going to the beach. I love to travel. I have been blessed to find “home” on three different continents, and I speak fluent English, Spanish and Portuguese. My husband Mike, sons Javi & Ro, baby Soleil and pup Tag are my greatest motivation. They simultaneously drive me crazy and keep me grounded. The love, strength and energy I get from them shapes my perspective on the world, and is something that I want to share with you. In addition to all that, I happen to be one of the luckiest people in the world – I love my job!

Bridget & her assistant did a PHENOMONAL job photographing my daughter and son-in-law’s wedding last weekend. She somehow managed to capture it all – the couple, the relatives, the venue, the season, the rituals – yet each image stands as a work of art on its own. Especially love the black and white photos sprinkled in with the full color. I guess it comes down to Bridget’s mastery of lighting, and her ability to read the energy of the many different people she photographs. One of her candids has the gorgeous lighting of a Vermeer painting (“Girl with a Pearl Earring”). It you’re looking for the best, look no further.

Hi, I'm Theresa, a wedding photographer inspired by nature's beauty and the stories we all hope to pass down. Along with my amazing team of photographers (plus a videographer!), our work emphasizes natural prompts and real emotions to create incredible imagery that captures the vibrant energy of wedding celebrations. We’re set apart by the fact that we know how to maximize shotlists so our couples can skip the photo marathons and enjoy their own cocktail hour (which is rare, I might add).

Awarded Best of Zola
Hiring Teresa and her team was the easiest and best decision we made when wedding planning. She was wonderful to work with and from our first Zoom call together I just knew she understood our vision. I am just blown away with how she, Katherine, and Olivia were able to capture so many special moments with our people. She and her team pivoted amazingly well through changing plans due to weather and other minor challenges through out the day. Even with a rainy, windy day we had the best wedding pictures I’ve ever seen! Each photo shows all of the love that was in the room during our wedding and I am so grateful to be able to relive our day forever thanks to Teresa and her team.

Anchored Roots Photography

  • Starts at $3,695
  • Serves Ashford, CT

It's so nice to meet you! I was born and raised in New Jersey (a.k.a. I didn't pump my own gas until I moved to Connecticut 8 years ago)! Fueled by caffeine, I love discovering adorable coffee shops, supporting farm-to-table restaurants, and traveling anywhere and everywhere. Although I love exploring quaint towns across New England, I spend most days with my husband, 7-year-old daughter, our two Labradoodles, and cat! They take up most of my camera roll because they are just so darn cute.

My husband and I loved working with Sarah from Anchored Roots. Your wedding photographer is someone who will be with you during the entire event so you want to make sure it is someone your comfortable with and that you trust. Sarah is 100% the person you want with you on your wedding day. I'm generally an anxious person but Sarah made me feel at ease, not just in front of the camera but also generally throughout the day. She was able to quickly build good relationships with my family and friends and that led to a lot of natural and fun photos. Also, her photography style and editing style were exactly what I was looking for. Even a year later, I still constantly look at the photos she took.

I live in Willimantic, CT in a converted firehouse with my boyfriend Tylor & our dog Maple, and I love a lot of things haha. When I'm not behind the camera, I am swing dancing, painting, playing piano, cooking, hiking with Tylor and Maple, or editing your photos & videos! I have decided to just shoot for my dreams and become a full-time photographer & videographer! You only live once, right? So why not re-direct my life towards a more fulfilling path of doing what makes me happiest?! So yeah- that's what I'm doing- and I am LOVING it.

My name is Layne, I am a 25 year old photographer based out of Connecticut, but always down to get out of here and travel! I have a passion for capturing some of life's most beautiful moments and turning them into a memory you can truly cherish forever. My love for photography has gotten me through some of the worst times and is my saving grace. Because of that, I don't plan on ever putting my camera down. I am not here to put you in the perfect pose; I am here to capture real, authentic emotion! When you open your album I want you to feel something, and I strongly believe those raw emotions come from candid moments that can’t be posed.

Layne Ann Photography was a fantastic choice for our wedding photography. Layne communicated quickly and reliably throughout the planning process, making it easy to coordinate schedules and locations. On our rainy wedding day, Layne brought an upbeat, easygoing energy that kept the photo shoot fun, even when we had to adjust plans last-minute. The photos turned out beautifully - Layne has a real talent for capturing creative shots, and the images vividly showcase the joy and love from our special day. Between the quality of the photographs and Layne's friendly professionalism, we felt we received fantastic value. I wholeheartedly recommend Layne Ann Photography to any couple looking for a talented, communicative photographer to capture the magic of their wedding celebrations.

In the 20 years that I've been photographing professionally, I’ve honed my skill of knowing when to step in and make things happen, and when to step back and simply *allow* things to happen.
