Awarded Best of Zola
We had such an easy time working with Enchanted Celebrations staff that I would jump at choosing them again! Blair and Summer were professional, thorough, empathetic and communicated very clearly all the different features of the videography plans so that we felt like we chose the right plan for our wedding day. As time came closer, Summer was diligent at working with us on the details for the day-of, and then a few days before the wedding we confirmed everything with Edwin, our assigned videographer. Edwin’s style was spot-on with what we imagined and the videos came out beautiful and so much quicker than we expected them. We’re delighted with our experience!

Each wedding marks the start of a family, and they are once in a life time events! So far I have photographed close to hundred weddings. I have the opportunity to create timeless images for my clients that will be valued by generations. That is why I don't believe in third party post-processing, I personally edit the photographs and re-touch the close ups to show my clients in the best light possible.

Deva was absolutely wonderful to work with—warm, kind, and truly attentive to our needs throughout the day. She captured our June outdoor wedding beautifully, and the photos exceeded our expectations. We absolutely loved both the images and the album. We’re so grateful to have these memories preserved so perfectly!

  • Serves Derby, CT

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
Cate was an absolute dream to work with! She captured both our elopement wedding (10 guests at a beachside Airbnb in East Haven in early September) and a 1-hour couples’ photoshoot (early morning at the Yale campus in mid-October 2024). We couldn't have asked for a better experience! Her incredible skill, warm demeanor, and attention to detail truly set her apart. We spoke with many prospective photographers before deciding, but we just couldn’t look away from working with Cate after going through her brilliant portfolio and speaking with her on Zoom. Cate made us feel comfortable in front of the camera. She has an amazing ability to put you at ease, making the entire process natural and fun. The photos she took are some of our absolute favorites. We love how she captured our families, wedding ceremony, and couple photos with so much emotion and authenticity! One of the standout things about Cate is how prolific she is. She took and shared a delightfully ridiculous number of photos with us—over 2–3 photos per minute! Every single shot was excellently curated and edited, showcasing her skills as both a photographer and storyteller. Cate went above and beyond, even while balancing personal challenges during her busiest season, to deliver a stunning gallery that exceeded all our expectations. She was also kind and thoughtful in all her communications with us and incredibly generous while photographing us for several minutes after our scheduled time had ended. We wholeheartedly recommend Cate to anyone looking for a wedding or portrait photographer! She is immensely talented, professional, and a joy to work with. We not only found our go-to photographer for all our future needs, but also a kind friend through this process. Thank you, Cate, for capturing the most precious moments of our lives so beautifully—we are so grateful for your skill and compassion!

If you’re looking for a photography experience that is easy and stress-free, then I’m excited to join you on this journey. I’ll record your first day of marriage beautifully with natural prompts and give you timeless wedding photos that will bring you joy for a lifetime.

Rob Skinner Photography was an ideal choice for our elopement at city hall. From the very beginning, Rob’s communication was prompt, clear, and reassuring, making the entire process feel smooth and stress-free. On the day itself, he arrived early and guided us in capturing natural, genuine moments. He helped us pose and move in ways that felt relaxed and authentic. The final photos are stunning, with a level of detail my husband and I truly value. Beyond the reasonable pricing for a one-hour elopement, what stood out most was how comfortable he made us feel throughout the entire experience. In just one hour, he captured over 1,000 photos, ensuring no special moment was missed. We’re so happy we chose Rob Skinner Photography and would highly recommend him to any couple looking for an exceptional photography experience.

Hi, I’m Rafael, the owner and creative behind JR Media Solutions. I believe wedding days should feel calm, joyful, and fully lived not rushed or staged. While I’m new to Zola, I’ve spent years photographing and filming weddings across Connecticut and beyond, earning over 100 five-star reviews by being dependable, organized, and genuinely invested in my couples. My approach is simple: show up prepared, stay present, and document your day honestly so you can relive it for years to come.

My fiancé and I were so nervous going into our engagement photos, but we were incredibly lucky to find Rafael. From the moment we started, he made the entire experience feel fun, comfortable, and effortless. He has such a natural way of guiding you through poses and moments that gently push you out of your comfort zone while still feeling completely authentic. When we received our photos, everyone we shared them with was absolutely blown away by how beautiful they turned out. Rafael is truly so talented. Booking him as our wedding photographer shortly after our engagement session wasn’t even a question. We wouldn’t want anyone else capturing our special day! He is incredibly accommodating, easy to work with, and genuinely listens to your ideas and vision. He made us feel supported every step of the way. We can’t recommend Rafael enough!

Hi, it's Jenni, I am a couples and wedding photographer based in Connecticut. I love hikes and adventures, nature is my natural habitat and my biggest dream is to travel the world. I am hopeless romantic and I will probably shed a tear at every wedding I attend or photograph, so if you see me wipe a tear at your wedding no you didn't lol. I am also a dog mom and I love animals in general, my puppy means the world to me! I am a dedicated, passionate, fun and caring person and I put love in everything I do. I can't wait to work with you!

Awarded Best of Zola
Jenni is an absolute gem of a human and a phenomenal photographer. She is so sweet and such a lovely personality. We first worked with Jenni to take our engagement photos, and my husband and I immediately felt comfortable and familiar with her. We are not comfortable in front of the camera at all, but Jenni somehow made us feel like we'd been taking photos together with her for years. After our engagement shoot, I knew Jenni needed to be our wedding photographer. We more or less picked our wedding date based on her availability! A few weeks after booking our wedding with Jenni, she sent us the loveliest care package with a typewriter-written note and a few goodies. She puts so much thought and care into everything she does! On the day of the wedding, Jenni immediately hopped into action. She was patient, kind, and had such confidence in what she was doing (which was so needed, considering you're dealing with not just us as the couple, but our families as well). We were barely past the weekend after our wedding, and we already have sneak peeks! Jenni is a master! Looking at what she was able to capture is truly amazing. I usually do not like looking at photos of myself, but I can't stop looking at these pictures!! I can't believe the gallery she sent is just the sneak peeks - I can't wait to see what else she captured when we receive the full gallery in a few weeks! Jenni is truly the best at what she does. I can't recommend her enough!!

Trevauhn and his team were nothing short of fantastic and took amazing care of us for our wedding day and our engagement photos. First, they were beyond easy to work with. Not only were they extremely kind and patient, but they had great upbeat energy that made the whole process of hundreds of photos seem like a breeze. They captured every moment perfectly and made sure to accommodate all of our needs. Now the quality? Trevauhn knocked it out of the park. The photos speak for themselves. He caught several angles of each moment and found the best opportunities to fit our pictures seamlessly into the venue and really use it to our advantage. Not only that but everything looked clean and crisp with the ideal vision that we were trying to maintain. He didn't have to do a million crazy edits with lighting either because he and his team were adjusting in the moment for lighting. This team knows what they're doing and they're incredible at it. If you're looking for a high-end, professional, affordable, and fun team to work with for your wedding or event, you don't have to look any further. Trevauhn and his team will take amazing care of you.

A jar of wildflowers is as interesting to me as a perfectly crafted orchid bouquet. I love documenting the small moments and details, and I see beauty everywhere on a wedding day. 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.

Stephanie is a wonderful photographer. From the first moment I contacted her to receiving my pictures and Wedding book, I had a such a wonderful experience. Stephanie has an ability like no other. Her presence is one that brings you a calmness, which on your wedding day you will appreciate! When I look at my wedding pictures, I can still smell the fragrance of the food we ate, the emotions I was feeling, and the way the sun and air felt on my face. Stephanie did that. She captured all those little things that are so important and magical. If my house had more walls they would be filled with her photographs.

I absolutely love capturing the magic that exists between two people on the biggest day of their lives! It’s a responsibility that I don’t take lightly and I see it as an honor.

Chris took photos of our wedding and we can't say enough great things about him. As you can tell from his website, the quality of the pictures he takes is outstanding. We loved how his pictures captured the essence of moments without resorting to excessive editing or effects. What you can't tell from his website is that Chris is great and easy to work with. He was responsive, suggested great locations for a photo shoot, adapted plans to stay on schedule, and was an overall calming presence. We also loved that Chris gave us full rights to our photos, meaning that we don't have to pay to download or print them. Overall very highly recommended!

Don't hesitate to book with her, you'll be so glad you did.

Jackie was the best to work with. I'm not huge on being photographed, but she was great at making us feel comfortable. She was also easy to get in touch with, responding to emails within a few days. I'm glad we did an engagement shoot to get to know her a little before the wedding day and help ease the photography anxiety. We got a handful of sneak peek shots a few weeks after the wedding, which was exciting, followed by the full set of photos a few weeks after that. The photos are beautiful and capture our day perfectly. I don't even remember seeing her at the ceremony I was so focused on everything else, but she captured it and all our emotions beautifully. She also was very good at getting through the portrait photos quickly, as I had a lot of family members to move around. Very happy to have worked with her.

I photograph fashion-forward couples who believe every detail should have meaning. If you're planning a wedding that's intentional, design-driven, and centered on genuine connection, I'm here to document it in a way that feels both beautifully curated and completely authentic. My approach blends editorial imagery with honest, documentary moments so your gallery tells the full story, not just the highlights.

I absolutely love working with Jenna! From the first moment I worked with her, I felt like I was working with an old friend. Jenna is warm, kind, funny (literally has me crying laughing sometimes), and so easy to be around. She is a true joy to be around and I feel incredibly lucky to have her with me anytime we work together. Her photographs are stunning and she has perfect timing and understanding of light and composition. She really is a package deal of awesome3

We are Jasmine Tianna Photography, a wedding photography business located in Connecticut. We believe a couple's love story deserves to be captured in the most beautiful way possible. Recognizing that a wedding is a singular moment in time, we'll capture it in away that envelopes intimacy and romance. Trying to capture every detail with a stylish, journalistic approach so the pictures can be enjoyed for many years to come.

Jasmine was an easy choice to pick. From first reaching out until the end of wedding night, she was always kind, prompt and professional. She did our engagement photos and spent 8 hours with us on our wedding day. Photos from both days turned out ethereal, beautiful and stunning. We are obsessed with them. Me and my now husband are very camera shy and she made us feel and look great. Her photographic eye is really out of this world, she sees the beauty in any setting or back drop and captures it on camera. Her portfolio speaks for itself, I would hire her again without hesitation. Thank you Jasmine!
