Awarded Best of Zola
I highly recommend this company to take photos at your wedding! We loved our photographer Percy. He was incredible, and so helpful. He came with several cameras and valued all of our ideas, and when we became stumped he offered ideas for us to try as well. He was very professional, kind, caring, and always on top of the game taking photos. Towards the end of our night he started to put the camera away and brought it back out to catch a few final moments. He was on top of responding to all questions before, during, and after. He took photos of me and my husband before the ceremony and got some wonderful shots (it was a 95 outside wedding so this was much appreciated because we all had some sweat on our faces). But before we got Percy and our booking process with eivans it was super simple, and just an overall great experience.

Krutick Photography

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,500
  • Serves Brookfield, CT

Hi, I’m Richard, a wedding photographer based in the Hudson Valley. My passion is finding the beauty in the simplest moments and capturing them in a way that feels raw, real, and full of life. As a candid, photojournalist photographer, I’m all about ditching stiff poses to focus on the relationships, the laughs, and the genuine emotions that tell your distinct story. I aim to capture the little details and authentic moments that make your day uniquely yours.

Awarded Best of Zola
Richard Krutick is special. A special talent as well as a special man. He captured it! The day after our wedding he sent me a teaser gallery of what was to come. I was blown away. When planning my wedding the photographer was the most critical to me -I was picky. When I saw his work he turned my entire way of looking at my wedding around. Richard and I had over an hour-long conversation and we clicked. I, having a creative director background and working with photographers all my career, was thrilled because we spoke the same language. I wanted honest, documentary-style moments captured without noticing the presence of the photographer. He was there when you needed him and you liked him. My guests were saying what a warm and great guy he is. He got their personalities, each and every one of them. He looks at everything with a special eye. Right at the time of my outdoor wedding with the most beautiful view and lush floral arbor, it poured and didn't stop. Gravel walkways turning into mud, no bride or groom wants to see. He just grabbed the moments and ran with them. Pivoting, he captured the most creative and editorial images I could ever dream of. He took the storm and made it beautiful. I hope I will have another event, moment, fun-filled party, or cherished time that he can again capture so we can work with him again.

Callie Ying Photography 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,880
  • Serves Brookfield, CT

I’m a wedding and lifestyle photographer based in New York and Connecticut. I capture moments that feel alive—honest, emotional, and deeply meaningful. While I love beautifully decorated weddings, I’m equally passionate about photographing celebrations that are simple, imperfect, and real. Your florals don’t need to be full, and your venue doesn’t need to be luxurious. What matters most is your connection. I’m especially drawn to noticing the most touching moments in any setting—your emotions, your interactions, and the quiet love you share.

Awarded Best of Zola
We had the absolute pleasure of having Callie as our photographer for both our civil ceremony and our wedding in Hawaii, and we couldn’t be happier. For the civil ceremony, we thought the photos were already stunning—she captured everything beautifully, even though it was just a more low-key setting at our hotel and City Hall. But it was really at our Hawaii wedding that Callie’s talent shone through. She was there from the morning prep to the evening party, and she turned every moment into something that felt like a piece of a movie. The atmosphere, the storytelling, and the almost cinematic feel of her photos were just on another level. Honestly, we got so many compliments from friends who saw the photos and asked us who our photographer was. In short, we can’t recommend Callie highly enough. She made our special days look and feel magical, and we’re incredibly grateful.

I love the dynamics of the day. All the energy, love and emotion that fills them. I prefer minimalism and simplicity both in life and business.

Veronica is a super talented photographer and so easy to work with! We were a covid wedding who unfortunately had to cancel our 2020 celebrations and reschedule on a whim to 2021. Veronica honored the original contract and helped us seamlessly transition to the new date, which brought simplicity to an otherwise stressful situation. Her approach as a photographer is hilariously involved, she's not just the person behind the camera but also the best hype woman. She has us feeling so comfortable and having a great time through out the photos. 10/10 will call Veronica back for future events. Hire her!! You'll be so glad you did!!

When we are not working we are outdoors or sitting by the fire. We love traveling to places where the earth is at its greatest. Our superpower is that we know what you are thinking. lol. Our style is Honest, Emotional, Intuitive, and Real. We love traveling anywhere in the world, as long as we're together!

I have the unique experience of being a wedding planner that works with JAG Studios and this past year as a client renewing her vows! I can tell you that they are truly gifted artists and are able to read their clients exceptionally well. They create and forge lasting bonds and capture not just the wedding but every single special moment and detail flawlessly. Every client is blown away by their work, and if your looking to have an amazing photo experience, then JAG is who you should go with. As a client, renewing my ten-year anniversary vows, I wanted a photographer that could capture the years and moments that it took myself and my husband to get to this point. To be very honest, I was pretty freaked about having my photos taken; I am a behind the scenes gal! However, both Jacklyn and Chris not only made us 100% relax, but I barely knew they were taking photos, and when all was said and done and the showed us the end product both my husband and I cried for days because it was more beautiful then we could have ever imagined. They captured who we were as a couple, and as individuals and every moment, moments I did not even think about will forever be in an amazing photograph. Jaclyn Watson Events

Hey! My name is Bill. I’ve been practicing photography since 2016, where I started in automotive (if you can guess what I named my business after, bonus points). My whole process is structured mainly to eliminate the stress of worrying about your timeline on your special day. It starts with a consultation, and ends with a call a month before to solidify your schedule. My style is a blend of documentary and artistic, meaning the candid photos are what really matter, but the posed photos are what might print and frame. Regardless, your day is my focus (pun intended). If you think we’d vibe, let’s chat and make your special day great!

I haven’t even gotten married yet (wedding to come) and he’s been nothing short of amazing! Can’t wait to see my wedding photos! Highly recommend him!

I am your dedicated keeper of memories, specializing in capturing the raw, emotion-filled moments that define your wedding day. My journey into photography was inspired by a lifelong love for documented history—from the nostalgia of Kodak film prints to the joy of family holidays spent sifting through boxes of photos. As a self-taught artist who mastered the craft through rigorous study and passion, I focus on the 'big and small' moments that others might miss.

Eternal Moments By Megan was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding day! Megan's communication style was easy and thorough, putting us at ease throughout the entire process. We loved every single picture she captured - she has an incredible eye for detail and was able to beautifully document all the special moments of our day. Megan came up with the best ideas and was so involved, helping to make everyone in our large, loud family feel comfortable in front of the camera. I couldn't have imagined a better photographer than Megan, and I know our family will be return customers for years to come. Thank you, Meg!

Our Original Weddings team in Georgia was great! All of them were very nice and seemed like they were enjoying capturing our special day. They captured so much of our wedding including many little moments and did a great job at being there but not taking up space. It never felt like they were in the way and they were great at directing us in moments we needed them to. We opted for the 4-12 weeks delivery and they delivered within 4 weeks on Christmas day which was a nice present! Overall was a great time with them and we are very happy with the photos and videos!

In the 20 years that I've been photographing professionally, I’ve honed my skill of knowing when to step in and make things happen, and when to step back and simply *allow* things to happen. Documenting the REAL emotion of the day is how we capture those picture-perfect moments. They happen organically, not by force, and I promise you: we're not going to miss ANY of them. = )

You know that all encompassing feeling when you’re revisiting a vivid memory?

Jessica and her assistant created a comfortable environment, ensuring that everyone was comfortable having fun (or at least pretending to laugh at her dad jokes).

The photos captured were not only beyond amazing, but also had a cozy, loving, and just genuine quality that perfectly reflected us and our day.

I was overwhelmed when navigating how to choose a wedding photographer. I knew I wanted someone whose work accurately reflected the day and the people photographed, what better way than choose someone who had photographed me beautifully at a wedding! Emily was the photographer at my now SIL & BIL’s wedding. I loved her editing style and her speed of getting the right picture. I have never really loved how I look in photos, and I am hardly in front of the camera. At our engagement photoshoot at home, Emily made me feel completely at ease, and really captured great angles and unique ideas! Not only did I love how she photographed me, but I loved that it was honest. Emily shot our welcome party and our wedding. It was like see an old friend! Our guests were in awe of the photos and loved Emily’s personality. It was an absolutely gorgeous day, and possibly the most gorgeous I have ever attended, I am so glad I trusted Emily to capture the memories! What will not be shared on her public gallery are all the photos of our nieces and nephews! Emily photographed my SIL & BIL at our wedding and it was so heart warming and deeply meaningful!

I am a Connecticut-based wedding and portrait photographer obsessed with candid moments, real emotion, and the connections between human beings. I strive to capture life as we actually live it: full of beauty and roughness, joy and struggle, extravagance and simplicity. When I photograph you, I’m not thinking about getting likes on social media. I’m thinking about what will make your heart grow three times its size. I’m thinking about what will make you ugly-cry, looking back. I’m thinking about you seeing how awesome and truly loved you are.

Awarded Best of Zola
My husband I decided to elope, planning the whole event in a week. It was important to me to get great photos to share with the friends and family who wouldn't be with us on the day. As soon as I saw Cate Barry's portfolio, especially with the candid photos, I knew that she was the right person to capture the true spirit of the day. Luckily, she was able to squeeze us into her calendar, and our preliminary meetings with Cate were fantastic: she made sure she understood our priorities—super open to who we are and what we care about—and she acted as friend, therapist, and wedding expert in a very frantic time. She even recommended a fantastic officiant who was exactly our speed. On the day, the three of us met up for some outdoor photos before the ceremony, and while I was afraid my husband and I might be awkward or stiff, Cate put us at ease immediately, and we were smiling with natural poses in no time. Then at the venue, Cate both contributed to and captured the joyful, relaxed atmosphere of the day.  We got our photos in record time, and even when we first flicked through the images on my phone over pizza, we could immediately tell Cate had memorialized the magic of the day, from happy tears to spontaneous jumping up and down with our witnesses. It means a lot to have wonderful pictures to share with our loved ones, and we would work with Cate again in a heartbeat.
