Liza Lavine Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (31 reviews)
  • Editorial style
  • Serves Bristol, RI

Half documentary. Half editorial. Fully yours. Hi, I’m Liza, a wedding photographer based in Boston, serving couples throughout New England and beyond. With a background in fashion photography, I blend candid storytelling with timeless, editorial-inspired imagery. My goal is to capture your day as it naturally unfolds while creating photographs that feel authentic, timeless, and true to you. Years from now, I want your photographs to do more than show you how your wedding looked—I want them to bring you back to exactly how it felt.

Awarded Best of Zola
Liza photographed our small intimate wedding. From the outset, she set out to make sure the day went smoothly and that we would get the best pictures possible on our special day. We explained to her that our wedding would consist of a very short ceremony and a dinner. The rest of the night would be some games and hanging out, but no dancing. Our original vision was to have her photograph the ceremony, group shots, and the dinner and skip couple portraits. After consulting with her, she recommended skipping the dinner photos (nobody looks good while eating) and photographing the ceremony, group shots, and, since our package left us with a remaining hour, plan for couple portraits before our ceremony. It was great advice and we're happy to have the couple portraits! On the day of she was very approachable and made us feel comfortable during our private session. She was clear when directing and arranging folks for the group photos. All of the pictures turned out great! I would definitely recommend Liza for any wedding or special occasion!

When I tell you that there isn’t enough I can say about Brittany, I mean it! Not only did she deliver absolutely perfect pictures that captured moments from our day that I didn’t know even happened, but she was so much more than a photographer. Our wedding was the hottest day ever and she blotted my face in between each photo, had a mini-hairspray ready for when my curls started to fall, and kept my family in friends in-line and focused to keep photos on track and on-time. She is so incredibly kind, so fun, and listened to everything that we wanted. We love you, Brittany!

Hey there! I’m Maria. I grew up with cameras in my life from the very beginning. On my mom’s side of the family, we say “it’s in our blood”. Since my first photography course, I knew that this was something I wanted to incorporate into my daily life. I’ve always lived by the thought that “it’s better to have taken too many pictures than none at all.” I’m here to preserve your memories of your big day!!! I'm in love with love and truly enjoy capturing your story. Your love. Your connection. Let's get you married and let's take some damn good photos while we're at it.

Maria was so fantastic!! My husband and I decided to do a last minute pandemic micro wedding, with just our immediate family and close friends present. Of course, finding any vendors, especially a photographer, last minute is a challenge. Luckily, Maria was recommended to me, and I couldn't have been happier with anyone else! Her style of photography and editing was exactly what I was hoping for! Getting to know her over the phone, and working out a schedule for the day of the wedding was a breeze. She was so great at staying in contact via email and text leading up to the big day. Also, I have a family that requires a lot of guidance (we're talking herding cats here) and Maria was AWESOME at keeping everyone moving and where they needed to be the day of the wedding. She even got all the pictures I wanted of our dog who was included in the wedding ceremony! Despite the rainy weather, she remained upbeat and positive the whole day! And I think her positive attitude was what led to us being rewarded with an amazing pink sunset at the end of our couples pictures. Her poses and editing created the wedding photos of my dreams! I definitely plan to hire Maria again for future family photos!

From start to finish, Willow Photo Co. was amazing to work with! My wife and I were married in 2020 with limited family present. For our 5 year anniversary we had a “re-wedding” with all our family and friends. So it was very important to us to pick the right team to capture this special day, and Willow fit perfectly! Ryan provided clear communication and explanation of all our photo/video options at our first consultation. Leading up to our wedding day, we met with Ryan again to go through the timeline and our desired photos. We felt 100% confident in the Willow team to capture our special day. Day of, Britt was our photographer and Ryan our videographer. Both of them were professional and fun, and made us feel comfortable and celebrated as an LGBTQ couple.

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 photographed our Halloween wedding and we couldn't imagine having anyone else! We met Meaghan and Evan last October when they shot our engagement photos. They were more than willing to trudge through our favorite park and stop at all our favorite spots to get some beautiful photos we used for our save the date. We got to get to know them a little more over at our favorite little ramen restaurant after the session and of course we were instantly sold! Meaghan was super communicative and responded to every email I sent her pretty much right away every single time. As we got closer to the wedding day, she sent an incredibly detailed questionnaire. It covered everything from our most important shots to what weird family dynamics she should be conscious of; we sincerely appreciated this level of care, especially as a queer couple with some iffy family things. When I was hiring vendors, it was extremely important to me to find vendors who were queer/queer friendly and body positive, and Meaghan checked off both boxes in spades. My wife and I both have huge body insecurities and are deeply self-conscious of photos-but Meaghan made us both feel so beautiful. I was never even aware of the parts of myself I am usually hyper aware of because Meaghan and Evan both made us feel so comfortable. We were able to laugh and feel every emotion without once worrying about how we would look in the photos. On the day of, Meaghan kept us right on track without rushing us or making us feel stressed. We were definitely running behind at points but Meaghan handled it all with grace and helped me keep my head above water the whole time. They captured every moment in such a storybook way that we are able to talk about and remember every detail of the day based on the photos. This gallery is such a keepsake and such a special reminder of the best day of our lives. Its so heartwarming to look back and see how happy we and our guests look. And my wife and I both couldn’t have asked for more stunning photos of ourselves. We both look and feel so feminine, so whimsical, so magical. She captured our authentic selves, which is what makes her photos so unique and beautiful. I can't wait to order our prints and have these photos in our home forever! Thank you, Meaghan and Evan. There's so much more I could say but I'll leave off with, we are so grateful to have had you on our day. We love our photos so much. And we can't wait to have you do another shoot for us sometime in the near future! We cannot recommend you highly enough!

When searching for a photographer, I was overwhelmed by the number of options available. Dominique didn’t make me feel pressured. She provided us with her wedding guide, which gave us insight into who she is. When we met remotely, I instantly knew she was the one. She was enthusiastic, listened attentively, and asked us questions about what is important to us leading up to the wedding and beyond. She was great to work with, and I knew what to expect. She drafted our timeline, offered recommendations, and helped us design it based on what was important to my husband and me. She curated a family shot list, and let me tell you, she did not disappoint. Her and her team were amazing.

Choosing Lynne as our wedding photographer was one of the best decisions we made for our special day! Lynne met with us beforehand to get an idea of what we were looking for in our pictures. We wanted something relaxed and natural that felt like us to capture our backyard wedding, and she delivered! Not only did she make us feel comfortable in front of the camera (something neither of us usually are!), she established a great rapport with our guests throughout the day which made for amazing candid and posed photos of all of our loved ones. We still have family and friends talk about how great she was at our wedding and asking for her contact information to set up their own photo shoots with her. We have since ordered prints from her and everything that we received is extremely high quality. Thank you for everything, Lynne!

I think you might be here because you're a little turned off by performative wedding photography. Maybe you don't even want a wedding photographer, exactly. Maybe you just want a good photographer to photograph your wedding. A lot of the people I work with describe themselves as anti-bride. Not anti-wedding. They just don't want the day to feel like a list of things to get through.

Awarded Best of Zola
Madison photographed my destination wedding in Antigua in June of 2024 and I could not have asked for a better photographer! We had a unique request for only candid photos throughout our three nights of events (we wanted the only posed photos to be quick group shots with family and friends right after our ceremony). She was so excited by the idea and over-delivered on all our wishes. She captured so many candid moments of my husband and me, of us celebrating with our dearest friends and family, and special moments of our guests that we hadn't gotten to see. The photos came out so beautifully, it's hard to believe they were truly candid and unplanned. It was such a gift to have these memories preserved; going through our wedding albums was like re-living all three days because she captured us in the middle of the memories as we made them. She has such an incredible talent and ability to capture the essence of each person she photographs. The lighting and aesthetic of the photos was also exactly as I had hoped, and each stage of each event was captured beautifully so that it transports us right back. We also wanted Madison to be a part of our celebration, and every single guest who interacted with her had the most gushing, glowing things to say about how lovely she is. I heard from so many of our guests that they completely forgot she was taking photos - she was so non-intrusive when she was shooting, so she was able to capture actual candid moments without people even realizing she was doing it. Madison was an asset and gift in every way during our celebrations, and I would recommend her to anyone who is looking for a photographer. She delivered on every wish we had, and was just such a pleasure to have at our events, lending a calm, sweet, and always helpful presence. She became a part of our friends and family as much as she was our photographer during our wedding. We are so grateful for her and will treasure the stunning photos she took for us forever.

Isles of Ivory is a husband-and-wife wedding photography and filmmaking team based in Newport, Rhode Island, serving couples throughout New England and beyond. Our approach blends refined editorial imagery with honest, documentary storytelling—creating photographs that feel elevated and intentional without losing the emotion and spontaneity of the day. We believe the best wedding photographs come from a balance of thoughtful direction and knowing when to simply let a moment unfold. From quiet, unscripted exchanges to beautifully composed portraits, we create imagery that feels timeless, sophisticated, and distinctly personal.

From the very first conversation with Jackie and Drew, we knew we had found something special. They didn’t just show up to our destination wedding in Jamaica as photo/video team —they came as friends, as part of our celebration, and as people who genuinely cared about making every moment unforgettable. Jackie and Drew went above and beyond in every way imaginable. From our engagement photos to the entire wedding weekend, they made my husband and me feel completely at ease. I have never felt like a natural in front of the camera, but their calm, fun, and easygoing energy helped us relax and actually enjoy the process. They captured the essence of who we are and the love we share with so much heart. By the time our wedding day arrived, it felt like they were friends celebrating right alongside us—not just taking pictures, but truly experiencing the weekend with us. They seamlessly blended into every part of the wedding while still managing to capture the moments that tell the story of who my husband and I are together, and the love shared by our family and friends celebrating with us. And our wedding album? It’s absolutely incredible. I have no words, truly lol. Every photo is filled with life, light, and love. Looking through it brings back every emotion we felt in real-time, and we couldn’t be more grateful for how beautifully our story was told through their lens. If you're looking for wedding photographers who are not only exceptionally talented but also kind, genuine, and a total joy to work with—Jackie and Drew are it. We can’t recommend them highly enough. Choosing them was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. PS if you’re wondering if you should have video at your wedding, you MUST.

Lover of those in-betweens, laughter, and timeless moments. I’m here for it all! Let me help you capture them! Whenever you look back at your images I want you to remember the experience – the way he almost dropped you in that one photo because you were laughing that hard – or the time they gave you rapid-fire kisses up the side of your cheek. Basically – let me third wheel you and capture all the love you have for each other.

If you’re looking for a photographer look no more. Tati is the one for you! She took our engagement photos and brought my vision to life. Communication is a 10/10, responds almost immediately and is such a nice person. She created a folder solely for our session, and used the inspo pics to pose us and really get the essence of our vibe. Super cool person to work with. Very friendly, and very professional. As for the turn around time, we received a few of our save the date pictures the day after!! Super fast compared to other photographers. Also included some drone pictures, which were some of the best shots. I definitely recommend to anyone. If I wasn’t having a destination wedding, Tati would be my photographer. Highly suggest booking this vendor.

Hi! My name is Courtney. I am the owner and lead shooter of Courtney Cohen Photography. I am based out of Barrington, RI, and love to spend time with my husband, toddler, and dog by the beaches of Rhode Island. I have a very candid approach when it comes to photography. I want to capture the raw emotion that you will remember for years and years to come. I shoot mainly outdoors with natural light but am trained with OCF (off-camera flash) for any low light or indoor locations. I strive to work with my clients not only to give them amazing pictures but also to make their lives as easy as possible. I hope that you reach out and we can chat!

Just WOW!! If you’re looking for a highly skilled, super fun/bubbly/upbeat photographer for your wedding, look no further, Courtney is IT (and worth every penny)!! Throughout the entire process she was so easy to communicate with and really makes an effort to get to know the bride and groom. From the second she arrived at our venue she felt like a best friend/family that we’ve known forever and was just taking our wedding photos for us. We had so much fun with her throughout the day and she went above and beyond to get the best shots for us and the shots/styles we knew we wanted from the get go. I have worked with other photographers in the past and Courtney is by the best, most skilled, and people oriented photographer I’ve ever been privileged to work with/hire. I highly highly recommend Courtney; you will not be disappointed and she will make your day all that extra special!

One of the best decisions we made was hiring Mallory. We are "so-so" with the camera (not entirely shy but also "what do I do with my hands"- kind of people). Mallory was awesome to show some styles that she was thinking of and looked at some inspiration photos that we picked out (this was done way before engagement shoot and before our wedding day). She made our engagement session super relaxed and fun - her ability to capture "moments" of our relationship left us in awe. She would let us do our thing and then gently guide/direct us, which was exactly what we needed (some guidance with no "stiff" or "don't move" photos). Fast forward to wedding planning, we shared a brief list of "mandatory family photos" and she created a timeline (with our wedding coordinator's timeline) and we gave her full reign on creativity! Again, she excelled! She captured some beautiful moments and looking back - we could FEEL and remember those moments she captured. We are forever in awe of her talent and ability to capture our day. During our wedding day, we unfortunately had a nor'easter come through (some would say good luck) - so lots of rain. Mallory was beyond prepared. She brought us umbrellas (I had also gotten some) and she was quick to make changes as needed. We received SO many compliments on Mallory's work and how well she worked with our other vendors. Additionally, I appreciate that she never "stopped" our day - as in, interrupt what was happening to get a particular photo. Rather, she flowed with our wedding planner and found opportunities to capture literally so many beautiful moments! I'm so happy we trusted her because she saw things that we couldn't and we are forever grateful for that. I cannot recommend her enough!! She gained clients for life :)

I hired Erika to capture some of the most precious moments of my life and I can honestly say looking back on those very memorable moments she was able to capture each and every expression of our happy day. She was very easy to work with and you would think she was part of the family by the end our session. She has since captured many more memorable moments for our family as our journey has continued into parenthood. Her creativity is captivated in her work and will be forever cherished in your photos.

Highly recommend Bayless Photography! The entire Bayless Photography team was a pleasure to work with and we are so happy with how our wedding photos came out. Crissy was always so kind, organized, and professional to work when planning the wedding. We were pleased to have our photos back only a few weeks after the wedding. We wish we could add more pictures to the review to show off all the amazing pictures! Lisa and Amanda were our photographers the day of and they were both very sweet, creative and flexible. We felt very comfortable working with them. They gave direction when needed, helped us get every photo on our wish list while also captured lots of great candid moments. Despite a last minute change in plans for first look, family photos and our ceremony due to heavy rain, they helped find new locations and the photos came out better than we could have expected. Thank you Lisa, Amanda and Crissy for helping capture our special day!

Lafleur Photos is owned and operated by me, Keith Lafleur. As a photographer, I started in wildlife and landscapes and slowly made my way into portraits and weddings, which are now the main part of what I do. I incorporate the skills and techniques from my wide background into everything I photograph, making for a more unique style that is always evolving. With a photojournalistic approach, I capture the real emotions and interactions of the day, so you can go back and relive your day as it was through photographs. I am a huge supporter of printed works, so all packages include a print credit so you can hang your memories in your home.

Lafleur Photos was a fantastic choice for our wedding photography. From the beginning, their communication was quick, friendly, and professional. They worked seamlessly with us to bring our vibrant, creative vision to life, even accommodating my crazy ideas for action shots on a mountain bike. Keith felt like part of the family on our special day, capturing all the little moments with care and expertise. Keith’s work was truly exceptional, and we couldn't be happier with the beautiful, vibrant photos that now immortalize our wedding. -H&J Moniz

Brenden made everything easy right from the start. He worked with us to get the images we wanted and was willing go out in the pouring rain to get photos if we wanted. Any questions we had about photos or weddings he answered. He helped tie ties and pin boutonnieres. I cannot recommend him enough! He is great, the photos are great and everyone loved him!
