Willow Photo Co. was a dream to work with from start to finish. Their communication style was quick, easy, and painless - they were always responsive to our questions and made sure we had a solid plan in place for our wedding day. They were passionate, dedicated, and paid incredible attention to detail when capturing all of the special moments we had planned for. They were great to work with, and we loved having a video chat with them a week before the wedding to go over the timeline and make sure everything was set. When our hair and makeup ran a little behind, they were flexible with their original itinerary, ensuring the process remained painless. We are so excited to see what they create for us. We would highly recommend Willow Photo Co. to any couple planning their wedding.

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.

Hi, I’m Nicole (she/her) - a Rhode Island-based wedding photographer. I have more than a decade of experience shooting weddings of all kinds - and today, I work collaboratively with my couples to create photos that evoke how their day felt. Photos of honest and emotional interactions; small details that hold weight and meaning; effortless portraits that capture the feel of the surrounding space or landscape. The result is a narrative visual story of enduring human connections, and a chronicle of emotional moments that they can revisit time and time again.

Nicole was one of the best vendors we worked with. She knows the business and is super friendly, funny, and casual - like our friend was taking our photos. She drove all the way to our home in Maine to do our complimentary engagement photos. The photos are glowing and speak for themselves.

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.

Hello! I'm Brenden, and my passion for photography began with a film camera from my Aunt in Japan. I spent nearly a decade in fashion photography, capturing style and elegance before transitioning to weddings. This vibrant field allows me to meet amazing people and capture their unique stories. Featured in magazines and awarded in Hong Kong, I continuously strive to enhance my skills. As a father of six, I cherish photography's power to connect us with our past. At Luminist Photography, I'm dedicated to capturing your love story with creativity and care.

Awarded Best of Zola
Choosing the right wedding photographer is a big decision. You want someone who can not only capture the stunning details and magical moments, but also someone who you feel comfortable with and who understands your vision. We hit the jackpot with Brenden! We first had the pleasure of working with Brenden at our engagement shoot, and we knew right away that he was something special. He's not just a talented photographer with an eye for light and composition; he's also a genuinely warm and kind person who puts you at ease instantly. He took the time to get to know us as a couple, understand what we were hoping for in our wedding photos, and offered suggestions we hadn't even considered. On the wedding day, Brenden was a calming presence amidst the whirlwind of emotions. He expertly navigated the chaos, capturing everything from the moments of beautiful bride getting ready (which I of course didn't get to see) to the raucous dance floor without ever being intrusive. He even managed to wrangle our (sometimes camera-shy) family and friends into some truly heartwarming shots. But the real magic happened when we saw the final photos. Brenden's talent is undeniable. He somehow managed to capture the raw emotion, the unadulterated joy, and the tiny, precious details that made our wedding day so perfect. We laughed, we cried, and we relived every moment all over again through his lens. Brenden isn't just a photographer; he's a storyteller. He tells the story of your love, your commitment, and the sheer joy of celebrating with the people you love most. He's the kind of photographer who becomes part of the celebration, someone you'll remember fondly long after the cake is eaten and the dancing shoes are hung up. If you're looking for a wedding photographer who will not only deliver stunning photos but also create an unforgettable experience, look no further than Brenden. He's more than just a vendor; he's an investment in memories that will last a lifetime.

Take it from us - having Chris photograph our engagement, micro wedding, and vow renewal/celebration was a no brainer. We got married during the pandemic, so between planning, pivoting and rescheduling, he was very accommodating and easy to work with. He's quiet and friendly, seamlessly blending in with the crowd, which helps him to get the best candid shots of all of your loved ones. We never worried about Chris getting footage of every moment because we fully trusted him to do so. He captures every detail so beautifully as if he's telling a story. Can't thank him enough for carefully documenting the best days of our lives!

I'm Kim Lyn, a girlboss photographer that loves romance and natural light. I think your photos deserve to be as amazing as your story. If I'm not behind a camera you may find me curled up with a book, sprawled out on the couch binging on crime or romance shows, and eating (basically anything deep fried, spicy, soupy, or chocolate covered). I have a slight addiction with Coca Cola + Mountain Dew...they are my version of coffee. I adore laughing and will dance no matter where I am. Give me the sun, sand, and coast and you'll make me a happy girl.

Awarded Best of Zola
Kim will be my photographer for life! Or, at least as long as she'll have me. I first met Kim when my husband and I were searching for wedding photographers. We absolutely loved her timeless style and were eager to get to know her. We met up at a coffee shop and instantly felt a connection. She then snapped some engagement photos, helping us with posing along the way. It was a good sign of things to come! On our wedding day, Kim and Shiloh put us totally at ease. It was like they'd always been our best friends. They were warm and sweet and helped us cherish the day, all while keeping us to our schedule and getting us all the shots they promised with professionalism and clarity. When we ultimately got our photos back, we were so in love with how they'd captured the day. They say that your wedding photographer is your best investment - we couldn't agree more! My only disappointment was that we wouldn't be able to work with them again. A year or so later, though, I decided to gift my husband a boudoir album for his 30th birthday. I was so excited to be in front of Kim's camera again. She helped me feel so confident and made sure I was having fun. I'll also reiterate that she was incredibly professional and so timely. I look forward to the next chapter of my husband and I's life so we can have it captured by Kim and Shiloh. They are truly so talented at seizing life's most beautiful, precious moments. I can't speak enough to the relationship we were able to build with Kim and Shiloh. When you hire them, you're not just hiring a vendor. You're hiring a friend. That's exactly who you want by your side on the biggest days of your life - someone you can trust, someone who loves you for you, and someone who wants the very best for you. You will, without a doubt, get that and more with Kim Lyn Photography.

I found myself photographing weddings 5 years ago. Before that I was into documentary and travel photography. I traveled the world doing it. My passion for love stories began after a friend asked me to photograph their wedding. It was the most intimate experience for me, the deep connection and the responsibility I was granted by my friend felt nothing but honorable. After that I decided to give it a go. Fast forward, today my style is candid and non-obtrusive and of course I work with posing and I’m really good at giving people directions. My passion is to observe my subjects and capture them in a very natural, honest and uncontrived way.

Marilia Lima Photography was a wonderful choice for our wedding photographer. Marilia was clear, organized, and professional in their communication with us throughout the entire process. Their work is meaningful, intentional and one of a kind. We selected them for their style which is natural, candid, and dreamy. Marilia was present and patient with Patrick, me and our families throughout the whole day, helping to capture the day with ease and grace. It was end of June and a little drizzly and Marilia embraced this and was able to capture some truly stunning detail shots in the rain. We did not do a first look so we did all our pictures after the ceremony and it never felt rushed; we were very at peace and were even able to make it to the cocktail hour. We were grateful for this. Marilia offers film as part of their standard packages, and I would highly recommend including this - one of my favorite shots so far is one they got of us under my veil on film. I highly recommend Marilia Lima Photography for your wedding day. Adding a few of the shots we got back on film below.

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!

Rhode Tripper Photography was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. Meagan and Evan were awesome to work with- super supportive, fun, and really helped keep us calm. Meagan knows the wedding world inside and out and gave us such good advice along the way. She even taught me how to bustle my dress when I was fumbling with it, and they brought AMAZING energy to the dance floor / party that I am sure contributed to all the great shots they got. In full transparency, their price point was a little above what we had budgeted for photography, but in this case "you get what you pay for" came true. If you are on the fence about spending the money, it is so worth it- we'd make the same choice again in a second. They are worth every penny; the photos are gorgeous and capture everything from the big moments to the little ones we didn't even realize were happening. We couldn't be happier.

Hi, I'm Kate! I am a full time photographer based in RI. I photograph hybrid 35mm film and digital portraits. I travel throughout New England and love working with fun, adventurous couples. Most of my work has a very natural feel to it. I capture moments, making for a very lighthearted, low stress day. I am a roll-with-the-punches sort of person, which comes in handy since no wedding day ever goes totally to plan! I focus on the joy, laughter, gratitude and everything in between! We’ll probably go adventuring a bit to get some really cool shots. We will definitely laugh a lot. Sound good? Check out my portfolio or get in touch to chat more!

Booking Polar Square and Kate was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! From our initial conversations to the week after our wedding she was so kind, responsive, and grounded. She has an amazing ability to capture joy, love, and feeling through her photos. We were excited to spend more time with her on our day after our engagement session due to her fun, calming, and genuine presence. We knew our photos would be great but are still in disbelief how truly they captured us, our family, and friends. Not only are the photos amazing, but Kate was able to get us sneak peeks and our full gallery in an incredibly short amount of time. If you are thinking of booking Polar Square, we cannot recommend them enough!

After receiving our incredibly unique and talented photos back, we got many messages from friends and family along the lines of how they were the best wedding photos they have ever seen and multiple people asking who we used because of the way our photos came out. Emily is incredibly easy to work with and I did not have to worry about a thing on our wedding day with her. She is extremely responsive and we are just blown away with our wedding photos. Especially our group photos. I didn’t want the “everyone stand in a line and smile” type photos that I very often see people share. Emily truly captured everyone’s raw emotions and made sure everything was captured on our day. Before she left she made sure to ask me if there was anything else that I would want her to capture!

I have been shooting weddings, engagement sessions and family sessions all over New England since 2014. Every event I have shot feels like the first day of a new job to me: exciting, eye-opening, and full of potential. I love being exposed to new cultures and rituals, dance moves and family dynamics.

Sara is an amazing photographer and incredible professional to work with . We were victims of Covid, originally had a June 2020 wedding. Sara was so flexible and quick to communicate with me about changing the dates. She came out to shoot our small backyard ceremony and our big 1 year celebration. She is friendly, professional, quick to respond and gave us stunning photos from each event. She has a wonderful calm but direct personality which helped ease my camera shy husband and get us beautiful photos quick so we could spend most of Our time enjoying the party!

Hi hi, I’m Joy Imani (she/her). I capture real, heartfelt moments through digital and film photography. My work is all about connection, storytelling, and making you feel seen. With a name like mine it's hard not to use a pun in every sentence, but I truly do love to capture joy in all the forms that it comes, and each client that invites me to be a part of one of their most joyous days is an honor.

I’ve hired Joy multiple times for work projects and personal projects, like my surprise engagement. Joy is incredibly organized, communicative, and professional throughout each session and captures gorgeous moments. Her eye, craft, and dedication show in how she makes her subjects feel—safe, warm, and vibrant. I’ve been recommending Joy for years and will continue to do so!
