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.

Sail Away Photography Inc. 
Rating: 5.0 (10 reviews)
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,800
  • Serves Bristol, RI

Hello! I'm Lynne Damiano and I am so excited to connect with you! The moments I love to capture are genuine and simple, and preserve what is happening in the moment. I have a photojournalistic style and edit true to life with vibrant color. I capture the best moments in an unobtrusive way. A few more of my favorite things are hiking with our crazy rescue dogs, traveling with my family, making art with my daughter, and doing anything near or on the ocean (hence my business name!) I look forward to connecting with you and creating memories that you can reflect on for years to come.

Awarded Best of Zola
I’ve always been extremely camera shy, and honestly, the idea of being in front of a camera all day was one of the things I was most nervous about for our wedding. But working with Lynne Damiano and Sail Away Photography completely changed that experience for me. From the very beginning, Lynne made my wife and me feel comfortable, relaxed, and truly seen. On a day that can already feel overwhelming, she had this incredible way of helping us settle into the moment and just be ourselves. Instead of feeling posed or staged, we felt completely at ease in our natural beauty and in the love we share. We also had absolutely no experience with photoshoots and didn’t know where to start. Lynne was instrumental in helping us choose beautiful locations that matched our style and worked perfectly with our wedding setting. She even suggested small accessories to elevate the photos—and showed up with a bottle of champagne for us to celebrate with, which was such a thoughtful touch. During the shoot, she was amazing at gently coaching us on how to pose so we looked our best, but it never felt awkward or forced. And while we traveled from spot to spot, she was so easy to talk to that it felt more like spending time with a friend than working with a photographer—which really helped in such an intimate, emotional moment. By the end of the day, what I had been most nervous about became one of the most special and joyful parts of our wedding. I can’t recommend Lynne Damiano and Sail Away Photography highly enough. If you want someone who not only captures beautiful photos but also makes you feel comfortable, confident, and celebrated while doing it, she’s the one.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Working with Trevor Holden was one of the best decisions we made for our Block Island elopement. He is professional, accommodating, and a total blast to hang out with. He managed to capture the "romantic beauty" of the island while making the session feel effortless and fun. Two major standouts: Trevor flew to the island specifically for our off-season wedding, and he provided our edited collection remarkably fast. We were thrilled to have photos to share with our family immediately. Aside from being a great guy, his work is stunning. He captured the love and fun of our day perfectly. If you want a photographer who truly knows the island and makes you feel at ease, book Trevor!

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. 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 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.

I first met Emily when we hired her to be our wedding photographer! I saw her work on Instagram and loved her style. I was nervous to get our engagement pictures done, I thought it was going to be uncomfortable and awkward. As soon as you meet Emily you will understand why she is so successful. She made me feel like we had been friends forever, giving a boast of confidence! She communicated with us multiple times before the wedding to make sure she understood the timeline and what we were looking for. The day of the wedding I specifically loved how she took charge. Acting almost as a wedding planner instead of just our photographer! It relieved a lot of my stress and allowed me to enjoy the day knowing she had things under control. She left a lasting impression with the wedding party and guests because of how personable she is and how she will do anything to get that perfect angle! The photos came out beautiful, like something out of a magazine. A few years later I hired her to take pregnancy boudoir photos, again knowing that she would make a normally awkward situation fun and exciting! If you need professional photos please consider Emily, you will understand what I mean after just one conversation with her. I highly recommend Emily Crenca Photography!

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.

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.
