Rayleen and Tim were an amazing part of our wedding journey. We met them at a bridal expo and their unique approach to photography had me hooked. I based all of my vendors by a vibe I got from them. And Rayleen and Tim seemed like our old friends from college we just clicked. We laughed together during our engagement shoot and bonded over various topics. They had such a great artistic approach to both engagement and wedding day photos. I also fully trusted Rayleen’s vision of me standing outside in the rain on my wedding day. I guess it was good luck after all love this couple so much and can’t wait to use them again.

Mark B. Carrier Photography

Smithfield, RI
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves Branford, CT

Hey friends! What is the value of a photograph? Well, if it’s art, then its value is determined by the status and popularity of the artist, in most cases anyway. If it’s that one moment at your wedding when your fiancé reads your love note for the first time, sheds that one tear they swore wouldn't happen, then it’s a moment you need captured and archived, because its value is incomprehensible. I’m going to capture that moment and preserve it forever you! Hi! My name is Mark! I'm a wedding photographer in Rhode Island and I'm really excited you're here. Send me a message, I'd love to chat with you about your wedding vision.

Mark is an outstanding photographer who effortlessly captures unique settings with incredible attention to detail. We’ve worked together countless times. A true professional who not only excels in his craft but also establishes a fantastic rapport with couples, infusing every moment with genuine joy.

Cate Barry Photography

Hamden, CT
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,900

I am a Connecticut-based wedding and portrait photographer obsessed with candid moments, real emotion, and the connections between human beings. I strive to capture life as we actually live it: full of beauty and roughness, joy and struggle, extravagance and simplicity. When I photograph you, I’m not thinking about getting likes on social media. I’m thinking about what will make your heart grow three times its size. I’m thinking about what will make you ugly-cry, looking back. I’m thinking about you seeing how awesome and truly loved you are.

Awarded Best of Zola
We can’t say enough good things about Cate and why she is simply the best photographer you could find. We are delighted with the photographs from our wedding. We received a huge sneak peak just 5 days after our wedding. Cate’s photos beautifully capture all of the warmth and joy and wonderful moments of the day. More than that, Cate brings a great energy with her. She is an absolute professional when it comes to managing time and large, unruly families. She is also a fun, calming, easy presence to have around on a day with a lot going on. Her second shooter Kieran was equally professional and took some truly phenomenal photos of the groomsmen. Cate’s dedication to making wedding photography inclusive and comfortable for everyone truly shows through in her photographs. We can’t recommend her enough for your engagement shoot, wedding, or life moments.

I am animated, honest and fun! I am a mom, wife, teacher, avid runner and overall a very passionate person. I love my family, anything nautical and really enjoy a great glass of bubbly at the end of a long day! I'd love to meet you!

Erica and her team were incredible. Starting from our engagement photos (which we loved!) Erica worked to get us more comfortable in front of the camera and ready for our wedding day. In between then and the event, she was communicative, supportive, and available. On the day itself she brought her usual AMAZING energy that made us feel at ease, and impressed our whole family with her ability to organize, get the shots, and let us get back to the party! I would also be remiss if I didn't mention the incredible team she brought with her. Not only did they match her positive and upbeat energy, but they helped capture some amazing moments for us and our family. I find myself returning to our online albums every few weeks and liking a few more pictures each time that "I can't believe I missed". I am so grateful we had Erica as our photographer and look forward to years of looking back at these pictures and reliving the joy she captured.

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,800

At every wedding, I'm constantly alert to the small moments that make a day unique: a father's kiss, an heirloom kerchief, a ring bearer getting licked by the groom's dog. I see beauty everywhere on a wedding day. I spend the entire day smiling. My face usually hurts on my drive home ;)! Although I'm primarily photojournalistic in style, I know how to take charge for posed portraits. I've been a photographer full-time for over ten years, and I can be quick and efficient for group shots, so you can get back to your party! I also love sneaking you two away for some lovely portraits when the light is perfect.

Stephanie is an unbelievably talented photographer! Stephanie had an amazing ability to capture both the posed and candid moments of our wedding. Her work is absolutely stunning and she is a joy to work with. We cherish our wedding photos so much and could not be happier with the memories of our special day.

I’m a full-time wedding photographer currently based in Central Connecticut. I love traveling, Thai food, all dogs, almost every type of music, and pretty much anything related to astronomy. Talking about myself has always been a little weird for me because I love hearing about you. My couples become my friends instantly, no really – as soon as we have our first chat together it’s DONE. BFFs for life. Be prepared for creating secret handshakes, inside jokes, and a ton of memories together!

Kelsey is beyond talented at capturing genuine moments and making them look incredible. She became a quick friend while also remaining professional. I can’t imagine working with anyone else for our wedding and I will absolutely shoot with her again in the future! Highly recommend working with Kelsey!!!

Guilford, CT
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,000

Our favorite photos are the ones that show your true selves, the ones where you are caught off guard, where you aren't paying attention to us running around, hiding behind bushes to get the frame, laying on the ground to change the angle. When we aren't taking photos we are dreaming of taking photos. We're married! We have a few kids too! We're creative, quirky, lovers of inspiration.

I don’t even know where to begin. To put it simply, Julianna and Noah are the BEST! They literally do it all - from wedding pep talks, jokes to keep you laughing through the stress of the day, managing our rather large family for photos, keeping everything fun and enjoyable, to creating insanely beautiful and unique photos. We couldn’t have asked for a better team to work with or for more incredible photos to remember our special day. We hope to get the chance to work with them again in the future!

Southbury, CT
  • Photojournalistic style

Oh, hey! I’m Dana. I am a free-spirit with a true love for connection and raw emotion. I’ve been known to get caught up in the experience and have a passion for storytelling, so my photography is candid and emotive. I’m also a sucker for a gorgeous, natural backdrop so there’s nothing better than capturing an honest moment with a killer landscape. ​ When I don’t have a camera in my hand or a client on the therapy couch, I’m busy being a Mom to twins and wife to my partner, Brandi. You can also find me decorating our home or researching our next spontaneous adventure.

We have been using Dana for about 2 years now, and she has photographed myself and family from fall portraits to a surprise vow renewals and continuously leaves us speechless with every ‘unveiling’. Dana is easy to work with. Her sessions are effortless and honestly most times we all can’t stop laughing. Her eye for detail is spot on and her creativity in the moment is so much fun to be apart of. I highly recommend using Dana for your photography use because you will not be disappointed!

He began his professional photography career capturing behind-the-scenes images for national ad campaigns and found his strength in anticipating all of the emotional, hilarious, quirky and exciting candid moments. Tyler’s documentary photography style is inspired by photo journalism and his editing embodies the tones, contrast and color familiar to analog film.

We checked out a few vendors that we found on The Knot, but we felt that Eivian’s was the best fit for us. The cost of the packages were very reasonable. From the first point of contact, each person that we had contact with, whether through email or text or phone conversation, everyone was kind and helpful. We chose a photographer from the list; we did not get that photographer but the guy that was chosen for us was the best photographer!! We could not have been a better match. He was so attentive to all our wants and requests and he took every shot we asked. We communicated a few days before the wedding & he was ready for the shots we requested. The proofs were sent to us quickly and we truly love every photo!!! We have already ordered our album and a group of prints! We can’t wait to share these beautiful photos with our friends and family.

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. Documenting the REAL emotion of the day is how we capture those picture-perfect moments. They happen organically, not by force, and I promise you: we're not going to miss ANY of them. = )

Awarded Best of Zola
From the moment I got engaged, I knew I wanted Christopher and his team to be a part of mine and my husband's day. I had been lucky enough to see his work beforehand for a family member's wedding he had photographed. The quality of his work was and is stunning. I knew I had wanted someone who understood how important creating and capturing memories was for us and Christopher and his team absolutely delivered that feeling for me. His creative energy and easy-going vibe made him a lot of fun to work with. We love every single photo he took - from the engagement photoshoot to the wedding! What surprised me the most about Chris and his team was how he blended right into the event, sneaking perfect photos while people were enjoying themselves. I've seen a few photographers who need to be right in front to get everything and often it feels either overbearing or uncomfortable but there was none of that with Chris. I was able to enjoy the day without worry that moments were being missed. His professionalism and expertise made the day that much more special to us. We cannot recommend Chris and his team enough!!

My husband and I decided to elope. Being that we eloped, I had no one to help me get ready for our small ceremony, and Ali immediately became my honorary bridesmaid. She ran around looking for items or products I needed, all while capturing precious moments. I am forever grateful for her help on such an emotional day. As a photographer, she worked with the lighting in ways I would have never known were possible. We got married on a boat, and she worked with the captain to ensure that the boat was in the proper position in the ocean for best lighting . Truly amazing. It was such a pleasure to work alongside Ali; she made two camera shy people like ourselves effortlessly take pictures that we will cherish for a lifetime.

If you're the kind of couple that would prefer their photographer feel like one of the guests as opposed to a paparazzi, and if when the neighbors complain about the noise, you just invite them to the party, keep reading. I take a documentary-style approach to my weddings. Roaming with a camera, I capture the candid moments and small details that make your wedding unique to you, while making sure to set aside time for a few special portraits.

We could not recommend Steph more highly. We had to postpone our wedding several times due to Covid, and throughout the process, Steph was so accommodating. When we finally got to celebrate, she brought the best energy to the day - she was calm, warm, and positive. And most importantly, her photos were amazing! We wanted more candids than posed photos, and she totally followed our lead and captured the joy of the day. You should book Steph!

We had the pleasure of using Jon for both our engagement shoot in April 2022 and then our wedding in October 2022. Jon is so knowledgeable about his work and he was able to guide us through lots of the planning and day of decisions. Jon spent his time getting to know the venue so we could use different locations, using all the best fall foliage and sunset, for shoots throughout the evening. He was able to navigate our large families and direct everyone to capture the perfect moments all day. Jon is very professional, punctual, and upbeat and made taking all the photos so fun - not too mention how efficient he is so we could still enjoy most of our cocktail hour! He even provided quite a few photos the very next day as a sneak peak. I cannot thank Jon enough for everything he was able to capture for us - I would recommend him x 1000!

My individual pictures at the bridal suite are so gorgeous that I look the happiest girl in the world that day! My bridesmaids and groomsmen had all formal, fun, and creative pictures from the prep time to the end of reception! As our wedding was multi-ethnic wedding where two very different cultures combine together, I really wanted pictures that can highlight amazing sides of the both parties and Eric really did an amazing job that I could not love more! He was a very nice professional photographer I have ever worked with. The return of our wedding pictures was very quick too (2 weeks).

I've been creating wedding day memories for over a decade now. New Orleans. Chicago. Minneapolis. The PNW. NYC. We travel all over this country, and even internationally, when the right opportunity presents itself, documenting love stories for our amazing couples. Our goal with each new wedding, is not to be just good or “good enough”--the goal is to be world-class, one of the top wedding photography teams in the world. Each couple helps us accomplish this.

Quality: Jay was excellent. He captured so many great moments, great candids. Anything he lined up took a beautifully natural, but edgy look. He's great at this and it shows in his work and the way he makes his subjects feel comfortable and confident during the shoot. Responsiveness: he responded to all of our inquiries immediately, the weeks and months leading up to the wedding, until the day of, always communicating. Then kept us posted on the status of the photos after... which, by the way, were done within TWO WEEKS of the wedding. He even sent us some sneak peeks a few days after so we could share on social media. Professionalism: we contacted Jay to do a boudoir shoot prior to the wedding, which is always odd and a bit nerve-wracking bringing a stranger into such a personal setting, but he was professional to the extreme, great coaching, made us laugh and feel comfortable and had us looking our best. Value: he was with us for the entire day of the wedding, trying to catalog every moment as it happened. For the price, for his style and incredible skill, for the speed of return, for HOW MANY photos we got back (over 1,000!), his value can't be beat. Flexibility: he shot our private boudoir (indoors), pre-wedding (outdoors), wedding with friends and family, around-town reception on Halloween night - vast array of settings and styles with seamless transition. The dude is just that good. You're done shopping around.

One of the most important aspects of a photo is the emotion it conveys. While I have years of training and experience, photographing love cannot be reduced to lighting and angles. ​ Well before your special day. I hear my client's love story. This helps me create eye-catching images that portray the kind of affection that is unique to each couple. I pride myself in being a storyteller-photographer.

Ive worked Anj many times and a valuable and talented person. Her attention to detail is precise and creative. Style and elegant photography. Love working with her. Highly recommend .

I was introduced to the world of photography the same week I was introduced to the world. All thanks to my Dad, who was never without his camera. Because of him, our memories growing up are preserved. Then I got my first camera when I was about 6. I documented everything. Since then, my memories, large and small, are organized on my computer, by year. So I can go back & revisit so many wonderful memories from my life...most which I wouldn't even remember without pictures. I enjoy life, and that’s why people call me the “happiest photographer.”

A dad, a son, a brother and a jack of all trades musician that loves to rock out any chance I get. I grew up in New York City. My inclination towards photography came from classic street photography and photojournalists from all over the world that told their stories through a lens. It made me pick up a camera and start shooting. Now, living in Maryland I shoot all sorts of stories and moments locally, domestically, and abroad. It's taken me a while to figure out what my "thing" is but I've come to figure out that I'm a milestone photographer. The moments your life that have proven to be meaningful -- I'll be there.

We are so thrilled that we managed to book Jess for our engagement photos and wedding! Beautiful photography was a priority for us, and we wanted our photos to have a genuine, documentary style feel. We wanted the photos to capture the real beauty of the day, without being too heavily edited (we hate the photographers who made everything look pastel!). Jessica was completely in line with our style. My husband and I aren’t naturals in front of the camera, but Jessica made us feel so at ease. We were never uncomfortable with Jessica, and she felt like a natural part of the day. Jessica’s photos speak for themselves. She is able to create stunning visuals, but most impressively, Jess captures emotion in all of her photographs. At our wedding, Jessica and her assistant Kat were always present, but never intrusive. I feel like she is a photography ninja—I don’t even remember seeing her at certain moments, and yet there are beautiful photos of everything. No detail or moment was missed. From the day we worked with Jess on our engagement photos, we knew we were in more than capable hands. I am so impressed with Jessica’s ability to find unique spaces and framing for our photos—some of my favorite photos are in front of everyday places, but with Jessica’s eye they are turned into beautiful works of art. Because she did such a fantastic job with our engagement photos, we had no worries at all on our wedding day. One of Jess’ strengths is her background working as a photographer on music tours. Put her in any type of lighting or setting, and she has the technical skills and experience to create something amazing. I would be remiss if I didn’t mention Jess’ professionalism—she is always early and is kind to everyone she interacts with. She is so passionate and excited about her work. Her calm, unflappable attitude made her a pleasure to be around on our wedding day. Her enthusiasm for her work is evident. She's also incredibly hardworking at every stage of the process. Jessica was able to edit our photos and got them back to us within 6 days of our wedding—that is unheard of! We love Jess and are so impressed by her! She is beyond talented and her stunning work will let us relive our wedding day whenever we want. All of our photos were fantastic—it’s hard to narrow down even our top 100 photos. We can’t thank Jess enough for capturing the joy we felt on our wedding day. I’m truly sad that our time working together is over. Jess was easily one of our favorite vendors, and we wish her all the best as she continues to grow her business! We would enthusiastically recommend that you hire Jessica for all your photography needs. Update-- My husband and I were lucky to hire Jessica again about a year after our wedding to shoot some photos of us and our new puppy. As expected, the photos came out beautifully and were delivered to us quickly!

Luckily, our planner who is also a photographer, recommended Judson to us. We are so grateful to have Judson be a part of our marriage celebration. The pre-planning was very thorough and thoughtful, and she made sure she got all of the information she needed in ahead of time. She came well prepared, was able to wrangle our families who met for the very first time that evening, and made us feel very comfortable and at ease during out portrait session. Judson captured the essence of our celebration, made us and our friends and family look super cute, and documented all the beautiful moments that happened throughout the night.

After graduating from Parson's School of Art in Manhattan, I worked as a fine artist, my work involved photography and photo manipulation. I quickly discovered that I loved and excelled at photo retouching, and went on to work for some of the best photo retouching studios in New York. In 2009 I shot my first wedding, it was a dear friend of mine and the beautiful photos were featured in one of the biggest wedding magazines. I realized that I had found my calling and have been producing stunning wedding photographs with my amazing team and clients ever since.

I was referred to Emma Cleary via a gf who had just had her wedding shot and said she did great work so I was happy to get a glowing referral while trying to source vendors. Emma was a godsend for me, because my wedding had so much that I wanted to cover, with so many moving pieces (7 musical acts, 20 performers, etc.) at so many different locations (a memorial area for first look, then over to a Park for ceremony, then a boat to an Island for the reception) via different modes of transportation (car, ferry, boat, 2nd line parade) over multiple nights (we shot both Friday -Sunday am) but her and her team came along for the entire ride and nailed it and I got AMAZING photos for every part. The lead photographer was so on it (which we needed bc we were on such a tight schedule) and the other photographers were also great and told us jokes which helped me actually get genuine smiles and helped so much during the stressful first look. My veil blew away during my photos (before the ceremony, sigh) and they were there trying to climb the tree to get it (but it was way too high up!) but A+ for effort. And the best part was that she actually SAVED my wedding... we had planned on getting married next to a carousel inside a public park, and the carousel party coordinator didn't file the required permit we needed so a hour before I walked down the aisle the park rangers came in and forced the setup/guests out. Emma knew the owner of a nearby restaurant where she had shot wedding photos before and asked the owner if we could use in front of his restaurant (facing the water) as a ceremony site. If that had not happened then who knows where I would have gotten married. She worked with my wedding planner and my guests (and us too!) had a place to have our ceremony last second... she was a total life saver during such a stressful and important moment. And then at the end once we received the photos, my favorite part was the light editing which was just the right amount, not too fake, so was perfect. Some of the photos dont even look like we are in a city which I just loved loved loved and had said I wanted, and then when we wanted city or actions shots she got those too so we had options of everything we did in every way. There is one shot where she got the end of our first dance and it looks like we are in a Broadway play! Anyways, as you could tell I couldnt have recommended any more bc she has so many years of experience it helped us with not only capturing the moments perfectly, and in a perfect way, it also helped us bc she knows all the wedding venues and wedding industry people and I never realized how much that plays a part in booking vendors.

We had so much fun at our engagement shoot where we met both Sarah and Peter. They made us feel so comfortable behind the camera. I think we laughed for the full two hours and the pictures turned out AMAZING. We love the "cinematic" editing. Leading up to our wedding day Sarah made sure we were prepped and ready with instructions and a general timeline that fit in with our schedule. We shared a photo list to make sure we captured everyone and everything - no small feat with our large families and guest list. The day of was again perfect - Sarah and Glory were so fun and accommodating. They felt like good friends behind the camera and blended so well with the bridal party and our guests. We even asked for an additional hour to get more dancing shots and Sarah stayed without hesitation. The wedding teasers came so fast, with the full album not long after. Hundreds of beautiful photos. We really could not have been happier with our experience and recommend CityLux 1000000/10. We will cherish these photos forever! Thank you Sarah, Peter, and Glory!

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
Teresa is awesome! She provides amazing customer service from the time you meet her through the time she delivers your digital album (3-4 weeks after your wedding day) and then beyond that was you order prints and create albums. I “clicked” with Teresa instantly the day we met and she held my husband and my hands through the entire planning process leading up to the wedding. She even shot a mini-engagement shoot in the week before the wedding so that my husband could meet her and she could see us interact together. We were completely confident that our day would go smoothly photography-wise and boy, did it ever! Once in full "game day" mode on our wedding day, Teresa balanced being friendly and accommodating to our wedding party and guests with doing the necessary crowd control to get the shots we asked her to, plus so many others! Her full day coverage allowed us to have pictures from both of our getting ready locations, our first look and then the ceremony and reception at our venue: four locations on a tight timeline which meant over 10 hours of shooting. After our big day, we were psyched to see our sneak preview pop up in our inbox less than 24 hours after the wedding with 100+ photos! Even better, our full album came through at around 3 weeks post-wedding. From what I've heard from other wedding couples, this is exceptional turnaround time compared to the majority of the industry. The photos themselves are nothing short of amazing! Teresa was able to capture the happiness and love we felt on our day and looking through the photos transported us right back to each of the special moments of our day. From our intimate first look to the formal portraits, to photos of our DIY wedding details, to the dance floor candids and our sparkler send off, and everything in between.... WOW! We recommend Teresa to anyone and everyone we can!

I’m a New Hampshire wedding photographer, who specializes in candid, natural wedding photography, serving all of New England for over fifteen years. Almost all of my couples come to me saying that they feel weird in front of the camera and worried about how their photos will turn out. But of course they want those gorgeous, Pinterest-worthy shots! My laid-back attitude will help put you at ease, helping your true personalities shine through (with simple and fun guidance for the posed photos). And my quiet and calm nature makes it easy for me to blend into the background, to get tons of candid photos that you will make you laugh and cry.

Working with Brett was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. We were looking for casual candids and photos that looked effortless, something we thought we would be difficult to achieve because we are “unphotogenic”. Not only did Brett go above and beyond, we were absolutely astounded by how incredible our photos came out. Previews came the next day and throughout the week after our wedding and we were speechless! Everyone loved our photos, but multiple family members mentioned that the collection perfectly reflected the vibe of the day and setting. We will cherish our wedding photos forever - thank you Brett!!

Relive the moments as you experienced them. When it comes to your wedding, what are you most excited about? The ceremony? Dancing the night away with family and friends? Indulging in the emotion of the day? The photos are important so you can relive each memorable moment. But the moments are only memorable if you take the time to experience them in the first place. This way, you'll not only experience the moments of your wedding day - you'll remember them well. Who better to photograph your experiences than a husband and wife team who understands the importance of this day. And the moments that shape it.

Awarded Best of Zola
Where do we even begin with Ishan and Preeti of Ishan Fotografi?! Our experience with them was nothing short of amazing. My husband and I (and all of our guests!) would highly recommend Ishan Fotografi to any couple looking for talented, thoughtful, creative, adventurous, understanding, professional, responsive and downright fun photographers! I first got introduced to Ishan & Preeti a year before my wedding at another wedding they were shooting. I really liked their vibe/personality while working with the couple - they were really thoughtful in their approach and shots they took, had great ideas/visions and were really great at demonstrating poses for the couple because they're a couple themselves! I immediately reached out to them the next day to get to know them a bit more. Ishan and Preeti were very communicative from the beginning - answering any of our questions via email, text or phone call; inviting us to their place to see their work; asking us how the wedding planning was going; etc. We got along with them instantaneously and knew we didn't want to book anyone else. Not only were Ishan & Preeti great photographers, but also GREAT company! We loved every minute of our engagement shoot with them. It can get a little awkward taking photos in public, but Ishan and Preeti made it super fun and relaxed. That kind of energy and vibe cascaded throughout the wedding weekend. We were so appreciative of this, especially because they knew how to help us navigate stressful situations as they arose throughout the weekend and made sure our photos still came out great! They also took the time to walk around our venue and scope out the best places to take the different types of photos we wanted. We received our photos very quickly after the wedding. There are so many amazing shots we are having a hard time picking our favorites!! Definitely a good problem to have :) If we ever are in need of photographers again, we know exactly know who we'll be calling!

This review is massively long overdue (we got married 5/20/2022), but I absolutely have to write one. Maria and Ricky are hands down the BEST people and we could not have been luckier to have the pleasure of them capturing our wedding! They got exactly the vibes we wanted, all the shots we wanted, were so easy to communicate with, and are just the nicest and most fun people! We did our engagement shoot with them in NYC and the photos could not have been any better. We communicated the types of shots we were looking for and, since they were living there, they were able to give us the best tips for location and shots! Our wedding was better than we could have ever imagined. We got the best posed shots and the absolute best candid shots. We barely even realized the were photographing/taking video of us during the reception which we loved, but we also just loved their presence. They were so much fun and added to the party, they were dancing while shooting and made everyone so happy and comfortable. Our guests still talk about them and how awesome they are! Our video is breathtaking, we are taken back to the day every time we watching and it always brings us to tears. The photos are incredible; we constantly look through our photos and love displaying them in our home to look at all the time. We have since referred several people to them because we would love everyone to have the same experience we had!

Prior to the wedding day, she communicated openly with me about everything and made sure I was ready to go. She provided me with example timelines to help plan my day which was extremely helpful!!! Before heading to my location, she had messaged me and asked if I needed anything before she arrived. Once Mariah had gotten there, she calmed my nerves, reassured me when my anxiety was heightened during the chaos, and communicated with me about every thing I needed. She captured my day perfectly. She was my number one supporter through the whole day! I just can’t boast about her enough. I highly highly HIGHLY recommend her to capture your special moments. You seriously won’t regret it.

I started working with a professional wedding photographer and discovered that I loved the chaos, emotions, and opportunities that a wedding day presents. That was probably one of the best decisions I've ever made. Hundreds of weddings later, I'm still enjoying what I do as much as I did when I first started, perhaps even more. Knowing that I can provide people with daily reminders of the happiest day of their lives truly makes me love what I do.

Garret is a wonderful human and beyond talented photographer. He became our best friend throughout the process of the wedding and remained calm, directed well, and sent sneak peaks that blew us away. His style felt candid, warm, authentic, gorgeous, and raw. I couldn’t think of a better vendor to recommend to book, you will NOT be disappointed. What a gem

Tired of not seeing yourselves represented in the wedding industry? Welcome to the RTP fam - we're a husband and wife duo shooting a combination of digital, film and Polaroid photos so that your gallery will deliver all the vibes and capture your sick, nontraditional love. And because of all the time we'll spend together getting to know you and crafting the perfect photo timeline for your day, you'll feel like we're just your two best friends there to capture the moments. No matter your size, race, gender, sexual orientation or religion, we're here to hype you up as you share all your wildest wedding ideas with us!

Meaghan and Evan were simply the best! Rhode Tripper Photography was the first photographer we reached out to for our wedding and after meeting with Meaghan we knew there was no need to look further because not only did she offer everything we possibly wanted - film, polaroids, amazingly composed photos - but she immediately felt like a friend we were getting to know. While we were nervous heading into our engagement shoot, Meaghan and Evan made it feel like the most natural thing in the world, and we had so much fun laughing our way through the shoot. That feeling only continued as we got to know them more and worked to plan out the details for our wedding. Meaghan laid everything out so clearly in the weeks and months leading up to our wedding and helped to organize our thinking for what truly mattered on our wedding day. It's hard to put into words how special our photos are - but Meaghan and Evan did such an incredible job capturing the very best moments of our wedding day. We've had trouble narrowing down our favorites because there are so many good ones! If you are looking for a photographer who will feel like a friend capturing your day with beautiful, intimate moments look no further.

The ordinary can easily become the extraordinary, simply by willing it so. At the end of the day, your wedding photos should be no different. Because you are beautiful in your own special way. And who makes the rules? You do. And should you invite me to be a part of your most amazing day ever, I promise to show you only the most fun, amazing photos that’ll showcase the fun-loving and free spirits of two crazy-in-love individuals (and knock everyone’s socks off too). So be yourself. You can laugh, cry, or shout silly things if you want to. It’ll feel awesome, promise. The only rule is that there are no rules. Now let’s go have some fun :).

Karis Lau is an amazing photographer and I highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for high quality photographs for their wedding. She is one of the most artistic photographers we have ever worked with!

WE'LL BE A GREAT FIT IF... You want documentary style photos or videos that capture those unscripted moments shared with the ones you hold closest to your heart. | You want a photographer and videographer that makes you feel confident, at ease, and thrilled to be in front of the camera | You want a simple and fun day full of celebrating with your friends and family, not spending hours away taking portraits. | You want your photos and video to focus on the things most important to you, especially documenting your friends and family. | You're madly love and want authentic and real photos and videos to look back on.

Sof and Tim were amazing to work with! They were communicative, creative, and friendly and made us feel at ease even though neither of us are super comfortable with being photographed. The pictures and video turned out beautiful. We couldn't have found a better vendor, and we're so thankful for their work!

Dave Robbins Photography

New York, NY
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves Branford, CT

Dave has photographed the weddings of notables like Christina Hendricks, Ellie Kemper and Piper Perabo, who sought him out for his one-of-a-kind brand of visual storytelling. Renowned for unique ability in finding beautiful nuance, Dave is one of the most sought after wedding photographers in the world. Passionate about his craft yet relaxed in his approach, Dave prides himself in his innate ability to put clients at ease. "When a subject is totally comfortable, they feel free to be themselves. What results from this is the beauty of authenticity".

Dave Robbins is an excellent photographer and, more importantly, an absolute pleasure to work with. We wanted to take photos walking around New York City, and even though it was raining, Dave was a total champ about it and took amazing pictures. We were also looking for a photographer whose photos weren't muted and instead "popped," and this was definitely the case with Dave's pictures. Dave also captured our joy and spirit on such a happy day, and we had so much fun working with him. We couldn't recommend Dave highly enough.

The Leighton Co

Portland, ME
  • Photojournalistic style

The Leighton Co. is a husband and wife photography and filmmaking team documenting stories of love and life through intentional, modern, and genuine imagery. We believe that when the day isn't solely focused around the photos and video, then THAT is when you get the best footage.

I highly recommend Becca and Scott. I sent in an inquiry form, and soon after Becca scheduled a call for us to discuss what we envisioned for our wedding day and to tell us about their different packages. We were not certain that we wanted a videographer, but Becca and Scott helped to guide us to make the best choice for us. Leading up to our wedding day, Becca was great about communicating with us. And best of all she created a day of timeline for us! I was so stressed about the timing of the day, but once I saw her suggested timeline, I knew it would work out great. On the day of our wedding, both Becca and Scott were awesome. They were supportive and kind, making sure that we were comfortable and able to be where we wanted to. We never felt awkward or like we were “forcing it” for the cameras. Post wedding, Becca and Scott were again great about communicating with us about when they would deliver our finalized photos and video. Both our engagement and wedding photos/ videos are beautiful. The Leighton Co has a timeless style that we love, and they do a great job of capturing you and your day as it is. It is very obvious how much hard work they put in, and how dedicated they are to the couples they work with. I know that we will look back at our pictures and videos for many years and instantly remember how loved we felt that day.

Worcester, MA
  • Photojournalistic style

  • Serves Branford, CT

I did not not grow up with a camera in my hand knowing I wanted to be a photographer. I started with photography by photographing Punk/Hardcore bands but eventually stopped photographing those shows because I didn't want my camera gear to get broken by someone stagediving. Being apart of that music scene help me cultivate friendships with people all over the world, and gave me lots of travel opportunities. Those experiences carried over into weddings helping me understand real documentary style moments and being comfortable surrounded by new people.

Yaritza was amazing to work with! She was the best we could have asked for. So nice and considerate and just perfect for our wedding!
