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. After the wedding, we received communication for when and how we would receive our photos and video. We were so so so pleased with how everything turned out. The photos are BEAUTIFUL! Don’t hesitate to book Willow, they are amazing!

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.

We were so thrilled to have Madison as our wedding photographer. From our engagement shoot to the wedding at Fort Adams, she was a total pleasure to work with. We had a little rust being in front of the camera, but one of Madison’s great skills is making you feel comfortable, natural, and helping to pose you. On top of being a pro at what she does, Madison is super down to earth and easy to be around. She also has a great sense of humor and kept us laughing throughout our shoots. Madison nailed the timing of everything on our wedding day — we got the photos we wanted without feeling rushed or missing out on time with each other or our families.

  • Serves Bristol, RI

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
I truly cannot say enough about our experience working with Nicole for our wedding!! From start to finish, she was professional, kind, and just incredibly talented. She made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera which was one of our main concerns, and this really showed in the photos. Nicole made the whole process so easy and enjoyable. She really helped us with planning out our timeline and making sure we had time to actually enjoy our day, not just pose for photos. Her attention to detail and calming presence made everything run so smoothly. She blended in seamlessly to the day, but was also there to direct and assert herself when we needed her to without even having to ask. We had multiple family members and friends compliment how well she directed the day and how she made everyone feel so comfortable! Getting our photos back was so exciting and seeing how they came out made us feel so overjoyed and just allowed us to relive all the feelings of that day over and over again. We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer to capture our wedding day. She’s amazing, and we’ll cherish these photos forever!!

Hi! I am a Rhode Island Wedding Photographer with a passion for capturing candid images that tell the story of your big day. I believe that every photograph has it's own distinct narrative, and my goal is to unveil these stories with every image. I thrive on getting to know my clients so I can implement their vision to its highest potential, ensuring a comfortable and collaborative environment, and delivering results that exceed expectations. This experience is all about YOU! I just get the pleasure of being along for the ride.

Awarded Best of Zola
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 :)

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 and her husband Shiloh were incredible. Don’t even hesitate, book them right now!!! You won’t regret it!!! Their photos are absolutely stunning, I sometimes can’t believe the photos are of my wedding and not out of a magazine. They were both so kind and warm and so helpful with direction and posing for photos. We felt immediately comfortable with them and they helped us feel at ease in front of the camera. Kim was so aware of how to be helpful even outside of the role of taking photos, helping with everything from timeline recommendations to how to pin my veil on when it flew off before our first look. And an unexpected perk was how well Shiloh fit in with my husband and his groomsmen during their “getting ready” photos. He really did a fantastic job of making the guys comfortable and capturing great photos, especially for a group of guys not accustomed to formal photos together. During the planning process Kim was also very communicative and helped us set realistic expectations for what would be doable re: our photo list, and they still somehow managed to get every shot we wanted, even the ones we thought we would have to rule out because we didn’t think we would have time. They managed all of this without the day feeling rushed or like we were incessantly being photographed. I honestly don’t feel like I saw them outside of the formal portraits, they just somehow managed to capture everything and everyone so beautifully while still being totally discrete. The wedding day truly goes by in a blur, so we are so grateful to have so many photos of every last little detail to help us remember it. They also had incredible turn around time—we got sneak peeks within a few days and all of our photos back within a month of the wedding. One of the most touching notes for me was that a family member passed away a few days before the wedding, and Kim and Shiloh gave us a thoughtful bereavement card. Just incredibly thoughtful, kind, and very skilled photographers. They were so flexible and reasonable to work with, so personable, capable of corralling our massive family for group shots, very comfortable working alongside our videographer and working as a team to capture our wedding day…I could go on and on. We are SO thrilled with their work and booking them was one of the best decisions for our wedding without a doubt. If you are lucky enough that they are available for your wedding book them ASAP!

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!

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!

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.

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!

If you’re considering booking Polar Square Designs, just do it! Kate was so responsive, professional, helpful and flexible. Neither my husband nor I love having our photos taken (especially in public) but Kate made us feel totally comfortable on our engagement shoot at the beach and we ended up with some incredible shots. The turnaround time to get our whole gallery back was so quick. Leading up to our wedding, Kate’s questionnaire helped us nail down what shots we really wanted and the timeline she came up with was very helpful! On our wedding day, Kate and the second shooter Allison worked together so well and made sure we got all the shots we wanted! Everything flowed perfect and they did an amazing job capturing our best day ever! We received a bunch of “sneak peek” images less than 24 hours after our wedding and they’re all so good! Kate’s creativity and skill are evident in the results. I highly recommend Polar Square Designs!

I’m a lively wedding photographer who creates vibrant and bold pictures. I'm based in Rhode Island, but travel all around New England photographing the weddings of fun-loving and creative couples. When I'm not hunched down behind a camera, I'm a wife, mom, voracious reader, and a well-known Wonder Woman fanatic. My family takes up most of my non-photography time. I'm a soccer-chauffer, a teenager piggy-bank, and a local foodie with my husband.

We first met Morayo when we used her as our engagement photographer, she worked with us to adapt and find a new site (twice) when the weather kept ruining our plans. Morayo met us close to our home and did a beautiful rose garden shoot with us. Then when the pandemic hit she was reassuring and flexible throughout our ever changing planning process. While we had to cancel our reception and had a smaller ceremony instead, Morayo was still able to capture our getting ready photos, ceremony and formal photos perfectly. Morayo was so fun to work with and really helped us relax in front of the camera. We loved working with Morayo and would recommend her to anyone planning a wedding, especially in these crazy times!

PLEASE FIND ME ON INSTAGRAM ( emilycrencaphotography ) OR MY WEBSITE AND INQUIRE THERE! THANK YOU ------------------------------------------------ I have this magic touch. I can't really explain it, except for however and whenever I do things they become Golden. I bring you out of your comfort zones, I am directive, and I am really passionate about creating your own story. I am your hype girl, your best friend you never knew you needed and I aim to be your forever photographer for all your milestones and not just your wedding day.

We are beyond thrilled with the incredible work Emily Crenca and her associate did for our wedding! From start to finish, both of them were professional, patient, and truly dedicated to making our wedding photos everything we dreamed of. Before the wedding, Emily took the time to meet with us and help us realize our vision for the day. She listened carefully to our ideas, offered thoughtful suggestions, and made sure we felt confident and excited about the photography process. On the wedding day, the associate was amazing at organizing and directing our wedding party. She helped keep everyone in the right place at the right time, ensuring that we stayed on schedule without feeling rushed. Their teamwork was seamless and made everything run smoothly. One of the things we appreciated most was how patient and caring the associate was during our family photos. We really wanted to make sure we had beautiful pictures with our loved ones, and the team made that happen. She took the time to ensure everyone was in the right spot and was so gentle and kind with our family members, making the experience stress-free and enjoyable. As for the photos themselves — we’re absolutely in love! Emily’s artistic vision really brought our vintage aesthetic to life. They played with light, angles, and backdrops in a way that resulted in truly unique and stunning photos. One of our favorites was a series of shots taken in a backlit hallway — they came out absolutely amazing! The detail shots are also something we cherish, capturing the small moments and personal touches we wanted to remember. The photos we’ve seen so far are absolutely beautiful and perfectly capture the essence of our day. The editing was also amazing. The final photos fully matched our aesthetic. We felt like we were on the cover of a Bronte novel. She also returned our photos very quickly, and we were able to enjoy them quickly after the weekend itself. We couldn’t be happier with Emily Crenca Photography. They made our wedding day even more memorable, and the photos are something we’ll cherish forever. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for beautiful, artistic, and meaningful wedding photography!

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.

Joy has been there to photograph a few milestones in my life. She photographed my actual surprise engagement and eventually my engagement photoshoot for save the dates. She has a way of capturing love and life in a powerful way. She makes you feel comfortable in front of the camera and her love of the craft really shines through in her photos. 10/10 would recommend, every time.
