Awarded Best of Zola
We had a pretty nontraditional wedding and came to Ryan DeVoll with a similarly nontraditional vision for capturing the day. We didn’t want a lot of portraits or a long shot list, but someone to document our day with our favorite people. Ryan completely understood what we were going for and delivered beyond anything we imagined. After several planning conversations leading up to the wedding, we were confident photography was something we didn’t need to worry about — and the results speak for themselves. Ryan captured the pure joy that we (and our guests) felt throughout the day. Ryan was an awesome presence all day: professional and organized with great vision for locations, but easygoing, never intrusive, and somehow always in the right place at the right time. Also, genuinely funny — we honestly wish we’d had more time together! The photos feel cinematic and alive. Looking through our gallery feels like reliving the day; we can hear the music, the words, the laughter. People who see them say, “Oh, you had exactly the wedding you wanted!” Ryan nailed it. If you’re looking for someone who can combine artistry with authenticity and tell your story in a way that feels truly you, we couldn’t recommend Ryan more.

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.

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.

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
I can’t say enough wonderful things about Lynne. Not only were her photos SO beautiful and perfect, but she was a joy to work with . She was organized, professional, and so kind. We hadn’t planned on taking engagement photos but used it as an opportunity to meet her and get comfortable in front of the camera. Our engagement photos were so fun! Lynne made us laugh and brought out such a natural joy in each of the photos. The communication leading up to the wedding was clear and organized. She shared a timeline and checklist, met with us via zoom, and checked in to ensure everyone was on the same page. It brought a lot of ease knowing that she was organized and ready to go. On the wedding day, Lynne was incredible. She led with direction but was kind and flexible. She was professional and fun and added so much to our day. Our families mentioned after the fact how nice and sweet she was. Everyone felt comfortable and had so much fun. We allocated about an hour for first look, family, and couples pictures before the ceremony. It ran smoothly and never felt rushed or chaotic (nor did it feel repetitive or like it dragged on). And of course, the photos themselves are stunning. She captured the mood perfectly. She was SO quick to share sneak peaks and kept them coming. We haven’t even seen the full package and I am obsessed already. I couldn’t wait to write a review. From our festive, fall engagement photos to our moody, dark winter wedding, Lynne matched the vibe to a tee. I would recommend her for any and all of your photo needs!

Crissy and Amanda of Bayless Photography, Inc. were all we could’ve hope for on our wedding day! From the initial planning process, Crissy was very responsive and professional, ensuring she understood exactly what we wanted. On the day of the wedding, both Crissy and Amanda were personable, fun, and helped create a relaxed, positive vibe that put everyone at ease. The final photos we have so far are absolutely beautiful - they captured all the special moments we wanted, as well as some beautiful candid shots we didn't even know we needed. We received our "sneak peek" of the photos so quickly, which was wonderful.

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 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.

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!

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!

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!

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!
