Chelsea is AMAZING! We did our engagement shoot and wedding photos with Chelsea; my husband and I head over heels in love with how the photos came out. During all the time we spent with Chelsea, she made us feel so comfortable and natural. We loved how Chelsea let us be ourselves and captured all the beautiful candid moments of us together. She knows how to bring a good balance of candid photos and posed photos (which can sometimes feel awkward, but she made it so easy and fun!). She is insanely creative! We gave her some general direction of what photos we wanted and trusted that she could have fun and surprise us with the results. She more than delivered with this! Chelsea also is so impressive with her turnaround time for photos. Both our engagement shoot photos and wedding photos were returned to us so fast! Our wedding guests raved about the photos. We cannot wait to return to Chelsea in the future, and we wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone in need of a photographer!

Hii! I'm Nicole and I work full-time as a nurse and pursued my passion for photography in 2017 when I would attend my boyfriend (now husband's) motocross races all over New England.

Nicole York Photography was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding. From the very start, their communication was top-notch - they were always available via text, call, or email, and made the entire process incredibly easy.

I am a teal obsessed, chocoholic, wife & fur mama who can’t get enough of capturing love stories! Photography has been a passion project for many years but after my own 2014 wedding, I decided to parlay my years of experience in child portraiture and transition to the amazing world of wedding days! It's been 8 years and I never looked back! My goal is to not only capture bright, bold, natural images but truly share in your love story!

Mariel was beyond exceptional! My husband and I met with Mariel 4 days before our wedding for our engagement shoot and was so impressed with her work, we knew she would be a blast to work with for our special day! Her response time with emails/texts was quick and always answered all of our questions. We would absolutely have Mariel shoot pictures for us in the future!

Working with Kathy from Simply K Studios was an absolute dream! Full disclosure: I've known Kathy since she was my high school teacher, and have followed her photography ever since she made her career change. As soon as we got engaged, I knew without a doubt that I wanted her to photograph our wedding. Her work is stunning, and her eye for detail is incredible. From the engagement shoot to the wedding day, Kathy brought such a calming, upbeat energy that instantly put us at ease. I don't love getting my picture taken and often feel awkward in front of a camera, but Kathy is so chill and instantly puts you at ease. She has a knack for guiding you through natural-looking poses, and her prompts led to photos that feel candid and real — nothing cheesy or stiff. It honestly felt like we were just having fun together, not "posing" for photos. Kathy also recommended our videographer (Matt Van Ness! Also highly recommended!), and they worked seamlessly as a team the entire day - their synergy made it clear that they've worked together before! I can’t recommend Simply K Studios enough. Kathy clearly loves what she does and that love shows up in her pictures. If you're looking for a photographer who’s both incredibly talented and an absolute joy to be around, Kathy is it. We’re so lucky to have had her capture our day!

My husband Andrew and I know that we are our best and most authentic selves when we’re supported and intentional with our time and each other - especially since the arrival of our daughter. Marriage teaches you a lot of things, and I truly believe that my marriage has taught me how to be a better friend, communicator, and business owner. I get excited about connecting with people, building friendships with my couples, and sharing their stories through imagery.

Awarded Best of Zola
I’ve worked with many different photographers, and in my opinion Cora is one of the best photographers in CT. Her work is exquisite and authentic. Cora and her assistant Jess (also incredible) captured intricate details, memorable moments, and unpredicted candids. My favorite candids of all was one of me dancing with my 98-year-old grandmother. Aside from her impeccable photography skills, Cora is a wonderful person. COVID-19 created a few plot twists for our July 2020 wedding. We had been planning our CT wedding from Colorado (where we reside) and had to jump every hurtle imaginable; state mandates, new venue restrictions, timeline adjustments, COVID tests. Despite it all, Cora was supportive, helpful, and accommodating. She genuinely takes an interest in getting to know her couples and has your best interest at heart. Our wedding day turned out to be better than anything we could have planned and I am so glad I hire Cora as our wedding photographer. I adore Cora and the friendship we built through wedding planning. We plan to hire her for future family formals as our family grows!

Photography, to me, isn’t about stiff poses or rushing through a timeline. It’s about creating space for you to breathe, laugh, tear up, and fully live your day. I care deeply about making you feel comfortable and confident in front of my camera, because when you feel at ease, your images feel natural, elevated, and completely authentic. This isn’t just a job for me — it’s storytelling, legacy, and the privilege of preserving moments that will matter long after the cake is gone and the music fades.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Nicole and her work! Professional and beyond my expectations! She captures whatever it is she’s photographing perfectly. She’s creative and takes control in large group settings, helping everyone know where they need to be. She was a blast to work with and just has a great calm energy. I couldn’t imagine anyone better capturing our wedding day. Hire her!!

Bright Lens Photography was the perfect choice for our engagement photography. From the start, Erika's communication was professional, prompt, and transparent. She made us feel at ease during our engagement photo shoot, guiding us on poses and adjusting my hair as needed. The final photos were fantastic, with beautiful editing and a wide variety of shots. Bright Lens provided us with a complete digital album at a very reasonable price, and the turnaround time was a huge bonus compared to some other photographers we considered. We couldn't be happier with the quality of Erika's work and the way she contributed to making this special time so memorable.

I’m a storyteller. That’s what I’m here to do - document the story of one of your greatest celebrations. My work is heavily focused on the authentic, unplanned moments. My approach is observational and real, creating images that are genuine representations of you, those you love, and the space and moments you share. I create true-to-life images that will bring you back to some of your sweetest, most treasured moments for years to come. If you’re looking for a light-hearted, boisterous creative to work with, you’ve found her. I'm people-centric which means that, I'm focusing on you, your guests, and the real moments you're sharing together.

Awarded Best of Zola
Kaitlin is amazing to work with. As a photographer who has done weddings myself, I had high standards and specific requests that weeded out a lot of people during my search. Kaitlin immediately stood out to me as someone with the ability to capture the essence of a couple. As I browsed her galleries I felt like I knew the couples and their stories by the time I was done. My wife and I are very introverted, shy, and not used to being the center of attention — let alone in front of a camera. After consulting with Kaitlin it was even more clear that she was the perfect photographer for us. Kaitlin listened to our requests, asked us questions to get a better understanding of what sort of coverage we’d like, and checked in multiple times leading up to the wedding day to go over plans. On the day of, Kaitlin was incredible. She set her flash units up perfectly to give a beautiful sense of lighting to our indoor pictures. Kaitlin was quick and professional with our family formals without feeling like she was rushing anyone. We love our newlywed portraits, largely due to how natural it felt to work with her—again this was huge for us as two people who are a bit camera shy. Our reception photos are equally beautiful, she captured meaningful candid moments without feeling like she was standing between us and the moments happening around us. If you’re like my wife and me and aren’t used to being on camera, I would 100% recommend booking a practice session with Kaitlin either for engagement photos or couples’ photos. As a photographer I’m used to being behind the camera and not in front of it. She helped us feel comfortable and it also helped her see how we interact together as a couple. At no point did we feel like Kaitlin was commandeering our schedule to check off boxes on a shot-list. She was seamlessly integrated everything. Genuinely, I cannot recommend Kaitlin enough. Working with her is like having a best friend there take your wedding photos.

I don't even know where to begin - Dani is simply amazing and if it were possible to give her a 10 star rating, I would. She not only captured my husband and I's intimate mountain top elopement, but her and Jed also followed us through out the rest of the day and photographed our reception that we held with family and friends. We are usually pretty awkward in front of the camera, but they made us feel so comfortable (even at 5am in the morning lol) and our photos prove it. Dani puts so much work into finding the perfect elopement locations and the most flattering lighting. My husband and I are BEYOND ecstatic with how our photos turned out - she captured who we truly are and how much love we have for each other. I can never thank them enough for how much work they put into our elopement and reception day. We are so happy to have these memories forever.

I seriously can’t put into words how amazing she was and cannot recommend her enough. She was great to have around on our wedding day and I am so happy with our photos. The groomsmen didn't have their act together, even though she provides a detailed schedule, and she was totally chill about it and was like no biggie I'll be back in 30. My fiancé commented on how awesome she was (didn't comment on any other vendors) and one of his groomsmen did too (see first pic). This was before we even saw the pics and they turned out better than I could have imagined. At one point I told her I was done taking pics I wanted to go talked to people and dance, so was a little worried if we got enough shots, but was blown away with the results. I also told her I didn't care that much about getting ready pics but wanted a lot of guest candids and she delivered. She also got way more getting ready pics than I even expected. We didn't want to spend money on a second photographer and she was fine with that and got all the pics we wanted on her own. She truly listened to what we wanted and was incredible at communication and organization. On top of that, she is one of the sweetest people I’ve ever met, and truly a calming presence during all of the chaos on wedding day. I feel sooo lucky we found her.

Hi! My name is Courtney. I am the owner and lead shooter of Courtney Cohen Photography. I am based out of Barrington, RI, and love to spend time with my husband, toddler, and dog by the beaches of Rhode Island. I have a very candid approach when it comes to photography. I want to capture the raw emotion that you will remember for years and years to come. I shoot mainly outdoors with natural light but am trained with OCF (off-camera flash) for any low light or indoor locations. I strive to work with my clients not only to give them amazing pictures but also to make their lives as easy as possible. I hope that you reach out and we can chat!

Courtney is fantastic! Obviously her photos are incredible, but beyond that she is just great to work with. She made my fiance and I both feel so comfortable during our engagement shoot- she was great with our dog too who we we included in our photos! Working with her along this whole process has been great- Courtney knows her stuff and has been so helpful with planning and executing everything so far during our wedding planning process. I can't wait to keep working with her! Also for our wedding day- I can’t say enough great things about Courtney. It was like having a friend with me the whole day- she was so amazing at making sure the day went smoothly. And the photos came out absolutely perfect. I will definitely be sticking with her for any of our photo needs in the future!!
