I love capturing weddings in a way that feels real and true to who you are. My style is true to color with a mix of candid moments and gently guided portraits. I’ll step in when you need direction and step back when the moments are happening on their own so you can enjoy your day without feeling like you’re constantly posing. I’m based in Connecticut and have a studio in New London. I love working with couples who are excited to celebrate their story. Whether you’re planning a small or a big celebration, I’d be honored to be part of it.

“We had such a great experience working with Jeshalee Photography And Events. From our first conversation, she was upfront about what to expect and genuinely excited about capturing our day. During the wedding, she did so much more than just take photos—she helped our guests feel welcomed, jumped in to grab food and drinks when we needed them, and kept everyone smiling the whole time. The images came back sharp and beautiful, and we had them fast. She brought such a warm energy to everything she did, making our day feel special. We'd absolutely recommend Jeshalee to any couple looking for a photographer who cares about more than just the shots.”

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!

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!”

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!!”

My husband and I come as a photo team! We feel your day should be captured your way! So we tailor our style and editing to each unique couple! It’s not about us, it’s about you. We will help you document what is most important to you, the way you envision! Just like you, we have felt awkward in front of the camera. We’ve had photos taken of us that we didn’t like. We will make sure you not only feel comfortable, but that you look good! We give you prompts to keep you moving so you look and feel natural and comfortable.

“Where do I even begin with this incredible team... I wish I could give a million stars. We have not stopped talking about Lacie and her husband Tim since our wedding day on 9/26/26, and any conversation about that perfect day eventually circles back to the absolute BLESSING we found in these two. As photographers, they do many things extraordinarily well, but I'll touch on two: first, they are true artists and masters of their craft. I have never met a more in-sync, organized and passionate duo in ANY industry. The lighting, the editing, the colors, the preparation, the posing, the angles... all of the things that make an image BEAUTIFUL and make your photoshoot experience fun and easy, they have absolutely perfected. But secondly (and in my opinion, most importantly), they are natural curators of joyful and special moments. Their happiness for you is pure and infectious, and it translates into photos that are still, yet somehow feel alive. If it's important for you to look at your wedding photos and not only enjoy their visual beauty, but also re-experience all of the feelings and joy and emotions behind them, you have found your team. Lacie and Tim, as stressful as wedding planning was, we would do it all again for another opportunity to work with you. You two are true gems, not as vendors, not as photographers, but as two people who love each other, love what they do and love the people in front of the camera as well. Thank you for going above and beyond for us, we will never forget how special you made our wedding day!!!”

Hi, I’m Justyne! I’m a wedding and lifestyle photographer based on the North Shore of Massachusetts, serving couples throughout New England and beyond. I’m super laid-back and go-with-the-flow, and I believe your wedding photos should feel like you. My approach is natural, candid, and romantic, capturing the laughter, happy tears, little in-between moments, and meaningful details that make your day yours. I’ll guide you when you need direction and step back when moments unfold naturally. My goal is to make your experience feel effortless, fun, and personal while creating authentic, true-to-life photos filled with the emotions you felt on your wedding day.

Hi, I’m Kelly 🤍 and I specialize in capturing weddings in a way that feels natural, emotional, and true to you. My goal isn’t just to take photos—it’s to document your day as it actually felt. The big moments, the quiet in-between ones, and everything you didn’t even realize was happening. I’m known for helping my couples feel comfortable in front of the camera (even if you think you’re awkward—I promise you’re not) Whether you’re planning an intimate wedding or a full-day celebration, I’ll help guide you through your timeline so nothing important is missed—while still leaving space for real, candid moments to unfold.

“She gave me some previous and I love them all. She really captures everything I wanted. Me and my fiancé are glad we booked Kelly.”

I am a destination photographer based in MICHIGAN, COLORADO & FLORIDA! I am ALL over Michigan and all over the nation! I have a home in Lansing, Holland & Traverse City. I travel all over Michigan capturing my clients from Lansing to Grand Rapids to the west coast of Lake Michigan to Mackinac Island & Traverse City to all metro Detroit! I have a second home in Vail/Summit County, CO as well as Clearwater Beach/Tampa. This allows me to be local to multiple places and states! This career is so much more than just showing up and taking photos. It's emotion, it's detail, it's getting to know my clients and capturing each of them uniquely.

“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.”
