Debbie Gander Photography

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,900
  • Serves Darien, CT

My clients describe me as caring, passionate about my work, and trustworthy. I am honored to feel like an extended member of the family when I'm photographing weddings! When I’m not working with amazing people, you'll find me hiking in the Hudson Valley, brunching with my girlfriends, or planning my next vacation (mostly likely on a beach somewhere). I'm obsessed with warm weather, family gatherings, and sunsets. When it's chilly out, you'll find me with a hot cocoa in hand. If there's music on, it's likely country or throwback 80s jams. ALL people and love stories are welcome here!

We love Debbie! Debbie has been such a pleasure to work with through our wedding process. Since our first meeting with her, Debbie made us feel super comfortable and at home, feeling more like a family friend more than just our photographer. She has a great knack for getting the best shots and captures authentic feeling in her photos. She was so good at helping us relax in our photos (which was great for me as a notorious camera-shy guy). Debbie will be our first call for any professional photography in the future and we 110% recommend her!

When I first started wedding photography, I made a goal of being more than just the photographer on your big day. I made it my goal to be your friend, someone you can crack inside jokes with, and someone who isn't afraid to get down + have fun at the reception (while still doing her job). I made it my goal to capture more than just photos, but an experience. Whether it’s high in the mountains, on a beach near the ocean, in a forest meadow - you deserve to get married however you want to & I want to capture it for you.

Lexi did a wonderful job capturing my husband and I’s wedding day! We couldn’t be more grateful for all the amazing photos she took for us. We will cherish them forever! Lexi is a very skilled photographer who pays close attention to detail. Her calm & caring personality was also very comforting for the both of us. Highly recommend L& L photography!

I truly believe the best way to tell your story is to be more than just someone who shows up with a camera. I want to be by your side every step of the way, capturing not just images but memories you’ll cherish forever. And something you should know—when you work with me, you don’t just get a photographer; you get a friend for life.

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Gina both professionally and personally for several years, and I can’t recommend her enough as a wedding photographer. As a wedding coordinator, I understand how critical it is for a couple to hire someone who can make the entire day feel relaxed, fun, and natural. Weddings can be stressful, but Gina has an incredible ability to keep the atmosphere light while still capturing all the important moments. Gina truly excels at balancing the need to get all the perfect shots while allowing couples to fully enjoy their special day with their friends and family. Whether it’s a candid moment or a perfectly posed photo, her versatility and skill shine through in every image. She captures not just the big moments, but the small, intimate ones that make the day unforgettable. Beyond her talent behind the camera, what really stands out about Gina is her wonderful attitude and warmth. She’s the kind of person who makes you feel comfortable, beautiful, and heard – qualities that are so important in a photographer. It’s no surprise that after working with her for a wedding, couples often reach out for maternity, newborn, and family sessions. Gina has photographed my own family for years, and each time we leave not only with stunning photos but with beautiful memories of the experience itself. If you want a photographer who will not only deliver breathtaking wedding photos but also make you feel at ease and make your day more enjoyable, Gina is your person. She’s truly one of the best in the business.

I reside in Jersey City, New Jersey, serving New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, and beyond. I grew up surrounded by family photos. My parents had a professional photography business, Infinity Photography, back in the days of film. My friend asked me to do her senior portraits, so I started my photography business after my parent's business was closed for nearly 20 years. Fun fact, I chose "Grey" because I'm a nerd, and I love Jean Grey - she's my fave X-men. Also, my name is hard to spell, especially when you hear it. It's like "Leah" with a "Tuh."

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.

The celebration of our wedding was photographed by Nicole of Nicole Marcelle Photography. Nicole has a knack for making people comfortable and creating just the right setting for her photos. She has a format that allows couples to think through the photography plan for the day of the wedding while providing sufficient time for wonderful photos in the midst of a very busy day. We were able to capture all the moments we had hoped for without sacrificing mingling with guests and having genuine fun. Nicole is not your average photographer. She is an artist. The quality of our photographs was beyond expectations. We can’t think of anything that was missed in the 700 photographs that Nicole took on our wedding day. We highly recommend Nicole photography, not only for beautiful wedding memories, but for any occasion that you wish to cherish.

Hey there!! We're Sarah & Ben a mother-son photography team traveling throughout New England and the U.S., capturing stunning weddings, elopements, & engagements along the way. We’re lucky enough to witness countless beautiful moments that leave us in awe. From the quiet glances to the laughter-filled celebrations, we aim to capture it all with a sense of ease that reflects the genuine connections between you and your loved ones.

Awarded Best of Zola
Where to start? During the first phone call with Sarah, even after we told her we were interviewing multiple photographers, she offered us pointers and advice to consider when choosing our photographer, not her as the photographer, but OUR photographer. From the beginning she wanted to ensure that we had the best fit for us. She went above and beyond by coming to our venues prior to the wedding to "get the feel" of what she would need to capture the perfect moments. On the day of the wedding (when it was pure chaos) she adapted quickly, efficiently and went with the flow. Sarah and Ben are incredibly kind, thoughtful, and have a wonderful sense of humor. All of the photos they took are amazing and very unique. The emotion captured by each photo brought us to laughter or tears, but both in a good way! We could not have picked a better photographer, and we cannot thank them enough for all they did!

Welcome to my photography world! If you're here, it means you're searching for a photographer to help capture YOUR story. I have been fortunate enough to have had a part in telling the stories of thousands of individuals over the last decade through my photography. My approach is simple – I want you to cherish every moment, and I'll take care of the rest. When we work together, you can just be yourself, living in the present and embracing life's joy. I'll be there, discreetly and passionately capturing all those beautiful expressions and emotions.

Before hiring a wedding photographer, we were a bit hesitant—I’ve always been the one behind the camera, so being in front of it felt unnatural. My husband also isn’t a big fan of photos and was convinced he wouldn’t look good in them. But from the very beginning, Violet made everything so easy! Communication with her throughout the entire process was seamless. She was always responsive, helpful, and genuinely invested in getting to know us. We especially loved that she used the engagement session to connect with us, which made the wedding day so much less stressful and so much more fun! We felt completely at ease, and it truly showed in the photos. Not only did we love our experience, but our bridesmaids and groomsmen also had amazing things to say about working with Violet! She made everyone feel comfortable and captured such natural, beautiful moments. And the best part? My mom said this is the most beautiful she’s ever seen herself! That alone speaks volumes about Violet’s talent and ability to make everyone feel their absolute best. If you’re looking for a photographer who makes the process stress-free, enjoyable, and delivers breathtaking photos, look no further. Thank you, Violet, for capturing memories we’ll cherish forever!

Hey! I'm Nina. I'm a pretty energetic and charismatic person that loves love and enjoys life. Documenting through photo is my favorite thing on this planet. I've been a professional photographer since 2016 but really I've been invested in photography since I was 15 years old. My love for documenting moments came from a desire to capture my own life and that of my friends using disposable cameras, flip phone cameras and point and shoot digital cameras on beach trips with friends. I have used writing, art, and photo to document my life and it is an incredibly special thing to be able to share that with my clients.

Nina was a pleasure to work with. We hired her to photograph our wedding in upstate NY and the whole experience was such a pleasure. We are both pretty shy and uncomfortable in front of a camera, and our wedding was as casual as they come, and Nina fit right into that. I feel like I found a best kept photographer secret and am so grateful we chose her!

I connect best with couples who might include their dog in the ceremony, make their day uniquely theirs, and don't sweat the small stuff.

My face always hurts from smiling so much on my drive home! I know how to take charge for posed portraits (and always do some!) but I prefer to capture moments as they happen. I've been a photographer full-time for over fifteen years.

Why, hello there. I'm the creative behind the lens. I am a Canadian who pursued his true love, got married and found himself in the United States. It turns out, it can take some time to receive permanent residency, which led me to pick up a camera and fall in love with the art.

I don't even know where to start regarding Zhaun!! From our engagement photos all the way to our wedding day, he was so remarkably supportive, reassuring, & honestly invaluable the entire process. My husband & I always joke that we're remarkably unphotogenic & can be awkward in front of the camera-- but all of that really washed away with Zhaun. I know you've all seen the more cheesy or uber serious photographers, & Zhaun truly met us where we were & was able to create such a wonderfully laid back vibe. His photos obviously speak for themselves & it goes without saying, but holy MOLY is he talented!!! I made a pinterest page with different 'inspo,' wanting our photos of the big day to capture a lot of the joy in the little interactions with not only us, but all of our guests & boy did Zhaun deliver & then some!! We cannot thank him enough for all he's done for us!! You're the best!!! xx K&J

I'm married to my high school sweetheart, but we waited more than a decade before saying our own vows. Sometimes (okay, often) I eat cake for breakfast, so you can always count on me to help taste test yours. If I'm not photographing people in love, I'm probably enjoying a glass (bottle) of champagne on the couch or planning my next adventure. I believe everything is better by the ocean and you should never wait to explore the world.

Kendra was such a comfort to my husband and I during the entirety of our wedding planning process, thru our wedding and beyond. She was always available for communication and never once made us feel like we were asking too much or being bothersome. Kendras energy is amazing, especially for two people that do not consider themselves photogenic! She brought out the best in us and it reflects in our engagement and wedding day photos. I couldn’t recommend her enough!
