Awarded Best of Zola
We love Liza!!! She was an absolute gem to work with from our very first phone call. She is incredibly knowledgeable, experienced, and so talented! On top of that she is a kind, caring, and genuine person who truly wants the best for you on your wedding day. We met her during our engagement shoot and felt an instant connection with her genuine, straightforward approach. She took time to understand our vision, asked for inspiration photos, and delivered exactly what we wanted on our wedding day. Even though both our venues were new to her, she scouted out incredible backdrops and knew exactly where to position us for each shot! During the photo hours on our wedding day she was calm, prepared, and helped everyone with posing and prompts to get us the results we wanted. During the reception she blended seamlessly into the night, prioritizing capturing our best moments without taking away from our experience of the night! Within 48 hours, we had 20 sneak peek photos we absolutely loved! Her talent really shines through. Liza arrived early, kept everything on schedule, and handled our family members with such grace and professionalism. We can't recommend her highly enough for couples looking for a photographer who listens, cares, and creates stunning images. 11/10!!! ️

We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer/videographer duo than Ryan and Brad. From the second we met them, they took all of our anxieties away and made us feel comfortable and at ease- even though we aren’t the type of people who love being in front of the camera. Our wedding was very recent so we don’t have all of our pictures / video, but the previews we saw were absolutely amazing. Not only incredible photographers, but incredible people- they took time out of their own day to scope out the most perfect spots for breathtaking pictures. Cannot recommend Willow Photo co enough. Thanks again Ryan & Brad!

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.

I think you might be here because you're a little turned off by performative wedding photography. Maybe you don't even want a wedding photographer, exactly. Maybe you just want a good photographer to photograph your wedding. A lot of the people I work with describe themselves as anti-bride. Not anti-wedding. They just don't want the day to feel like a list of things to get through.

Awarded Best of Zola
Madison was an incredible photographer for our wedding day at Nicollet Island Pavilion! She was efficient, fun, laid-back, and helped us feel comfortable super quickly which made us feel at ease throughout the entire process. Her work is truly top-tier - she has an incredible vision and unique style that captured all the special moments of our wedding. She was so energetic and encouraging, which helped us feel less stiff and more natural in front of the camera (which does not come easily to us!). Madison also came prepared with our Pinterest board and shot list, ensuring she got all the specific pictures we wanted while adding her own spin on them. Her editing of the wedding shots were better than I could have imagined - I specifically loved the blurry shots that were mixed in. We cannot recommend Madison enough - she was an integral part of making our wedding day so special and memorable.

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.

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.

My passion for photography stems from my love of travel and capturing life's precious moments. There's nothing more fulfilling than preserving the most beautiful days of your life. Photos are a return ticket to moments gone. My goal is to create lasting memories that inspire and evoke emotions. I believe my purpose is the impact my work has on others.

I can't say enough about how amazing Stacy is! She has photographed all our family milestones so I knew we would be in good hands when I booked her for our wedding. She exceeded all expectations. I was blown away when I opened the sneak peek photos. I could not stop looking at them. Not only were her photography skills amazing, she was responsive, supportive and available to help all throughout the planning process and on our big day. We had some hiccups that day and I think I would have never managed to pull it off without her. She was definitely my rock. It was stressful due to a malfunction that caused some damage. She didn't even flinch. She came up with a plan on the spot and moved us forward. Thank goodness for her amazing photos! I am able to sit back, look through them and take it all in because they captured everything perfectly. Thank you for being the amazing human being that you are!

Erika and Asher photographed our Bristol RI wedding in September 2025 and we are so grateful to them! They were there the whole day from setup through the reception dancing. Erika was so kind and professional from the beginning phone call through booking to the final edited photos. The process and pricing was exactly as she had described during booking. We got a preview of our album within a week of the wedding and the full edited album 6 weeks after the event, which we think is very fast considering there are thousands of edited photos and I’m sure many more that didn’t make the cut. We had requested a couple different photo locations for the getting ready portion and wedding, including a sunset walk to the water which they were happy to do. Our wedding was in my hometown and we have a lot of memories from the area so it was really special to have those places photographed as part of our wedding day. Erika was so great about instructing the wedding party and family through formal portraits and Asher was a calm, friendly presence. They were happy to take charge or give poses as needed but were excellent about photographing everyone naturally and our smiles all look genuine and like ourselves. The photos are so meaningful to us as they captured beautiful candid shots of every guest and all the special moments of the day. They were very professional and did not interrupt the event but somehow captured everything that happened, even moments we didn’t notice or hear about until after. We couldn’t stop smiling looking through the full album - and we were able to easily download and share those photos with our families and wedding party. We would absolutely recommend them to friends and work with them again.

Hey, I’m Mark, a Rhode Island wedding photographer. I photograph weddings throughout southern RI, the Newport mansions, Cape Cod, and places with character—coastal estates, barns, mills, and rustic spaces. I became a photographer because I love work that brings people joy. Being trusted to capture meaningful moments is deeply rewarding, and it’s what led me to pursue this full-time. I’ve been a professional photographer since 2019. Since then, I’ve photographed over 130 weddings. My focus is creating an experience that feels calm, natural, and genuinely enjoyable—so couples can stay present and focused on the day itself.

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.

I have NO WORDS to describe how much we loved working with Marilia! From the beginning, she totally understood our vision and assured us that even though we are (self-proclaimed) extremely awkward in front of the camera, she’d help us get some awesome photos. BOY did she deliver! She made us feel so at ease all day and truly captured the wedding the way it was. I have no clue how she was able to capture all the love, joy, and absolute debauchery so authentically, but we are so grateful she did. She didn’t miss a single moment! Typically, my husband and I feel so uncomfortable on camera but we absolutely adored how these photos came out. She did such a great job capturing the day as it was - we didn’t have to think about posing, she just captured it all! I could go on and on for paragraphs about how great Marilia is, but just know that if you’re looking for a very cool, professional, kind photographer who will capture your wedding in a super authentic way, Marilia is the way to go!
