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.

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.

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 am so glad we chose to work with Nicole of Nicole Marcelle Photography. She captured absolutely stunning photos of our small wedding in Providence, and we are still blown away by how beautifully she documented the day. Nicole was professional, funny, and incredibly easy to work with. She offered so much helpful guidance and had a great eye for posing and locations, which made us feel really comfortable and at ease. One of the biggest highlights was how seamlessly she took charge when needed—corralling guests for group photos and keeping everything moving without ever feeling rushed. It allowed us to relax and truly enjoy the moment. We chose Nicole because we were impressed with her portfolio and knew she had photographed at our venue, the Providence Athenaeum, before. Her familiarity with the space showed in every shot; she captured the magic, atmosphere, and little details of the place perfectly. She also made sure my red wedding dress truly POPPED in the photos. Nicole’s work is an incredible investment—her photos are something we’ll treasure for years to come. If you want a photographer who can capture the emotion, beauty, and ambience of your wedding day, we highly and wholeheartedly recommend her.

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 :)

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!

How do we even begin to explain how much we love Rhode Tripper Photography? If you’re reading this while considering booking them for your wedding - FULL STOP, JUST DO IT. Meaghan and Evan are two of the most lovely people we have met. Once we had our wedding date, they were the first vendor that we booked for our big day. From the very first meeting, we felt completely at ease talking to them about our vision, our budget, and what we wanted the day to feel like. They are super well connected in the wedding industry, and had lots of recommendations for other vendors when we felt overwhelmed. Initially we opted to skip an engagement shoot, but ended up reaching out to book one so that we’d have a little practice posing. It felt right for us as it gave us a chance to meet Meaghan and Evan and see how we felt behind the camera. They made us feel comfortable right from the start, and while we initially booked it just for practice, we were stunned by how beautiful the photographs came out. We knew immediately we’d made the right choice in booking Rhode Tripper Photography and ended up extending our wedding day coverage. We just couldn’t get enough of their gorgeous style and eye for detail. Leading up to the wedding, Meaghan and Evan were available for all of our questions and planning details. Meaghan ended up assembling a wedding timeline that even our event planners were blown away by. You can tell she knows what she’s doing (spoiler - the timeline was perfect down to the minute). On the day of the wedding, we felt completely relaxed and honestly just giddy to be around Meaghan and Evan. They brought such a fun and light energy to our day and blended in seamlessly with our friends and family. When we needed a leader in the chaos, they were there to make announcements and call people to step up for photos and stay on track. When we were on the dance floor, they blended in like they were lifelong friends dancing with all of us. When pollen from my flowers stained my dress, Meaghan had a Shout wipe ready - and did you know that Shout wipes work way better on a wedding dress than a Tide pen? MEAGHAN KNEW. We could truly go on forever about how much we love Rhode Tripper Photography, but we’ll let their gorgeous photos speak for themselves. We were delighted to get a stack of beautiful Polaroids at the end of the night, a stunning sneak peek the next day, and we can’t wait to see the way they captured the rest of the day. We’ll be gushing about them forever to everyone we know!!

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!

I’m Jen Lamy, and I became a wedding photographer because it is the best job in the world! As a creative professional, it allows me to be and do so many things at once; I’m a portrait photographer, a commercial photographer, a photojournalist, a fashion photographer, a businesswoman, a friend and consultant, and most importantly, a documentarian.

We had a truly wonderful experience with Jen. We live in NYC and were planning our Newport destination wedding long distance. From the first Zoom call, I felt like I was talking to a friend, and I was not wrong. We ended up talking for two hours and Jen helped me with all kinds of things that I couldn't just hand off to our wedding planner, (like how to do portraits with our complicated families and where to seat them). I described the look I wanted for our photos and Jen was immediately able to pull out examples from past weddings and samples of her work that were absolutely incredible and spot-on. On the day, everything went so, so smoothly. Jen showed up like an absolute boss with her lighthearted humor and genuine excitement, everyone loved her. I could see how my sisters and bridesmaids and even my stressed out mom opened up to her. The candids that she was able to capture are priceless. When I was planning my wedding, I didn't fully understand how valuable REAL photos would be. Now that I have them, I can't believe that I could have missed out on them! Two of my friends have already booked Jen for their weddings. Just book her, BOOK HER!

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
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.

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!

At Eisley Images we are actively anti-racist by learning and unlearning our own biases and learned behavior. We are actively trying to make the wedding industry we are a part of more inclusive, kind, and part of the larger discussion at hand. As consumers ourselves, we deeply appreciate knowing WHO we are investing our money in. We want to be upfront and unapologetic about who we are, and what values we deeply believe in.

Christy from Eisley Images was an absolute joy to work with on our wedding day. She was very personable, fun, and friendly, which made the photographing process very comfortable and enjoyable for us. You can tell she loves what she does and does it well - the quality of her work is excellent and the photos beautifully captured all the special moments of our day. Christy never made us feel uncomfortable or forced us to take any photos we didn't want to. She was amazing and I would highly recommend her to everyone I know.
