  • Starts at $2,000
  • Serves Essex, CT

Hi! I'm Tianna, a New England wedding and destination photographer based in Connecticut. My faith is the foundation of everything apart of me. My family, friends, and my business. I wouldn’t be where I am today without God, & I pray that my clients can see the goodness of the Lord through every stage of working with me! My style reflects my photography: a mix of cottage core & country. Outside of photography, l'm a wife, mama, homebody at heart, and a lover of hot cocoa, fresh sourdough, thrifted finds, intentional living, garden shops, & cozy nights in. Inspired by old love letters, barefoot adventures, and celebrating in the in between!

“We couldn't have asked for a better photographer than Tianna! From our engagement shoot to the big day, she was the easiest person to work with and her calming presence kept us relaxed the entire time. Even though she'd never been to our venue before, she found all the best spots for photos and made sure to capture everything we wanted—family shots, candids, details, and so much more. Her work is raw and luminous, with every photo feeling genuine and meaningful. We're already looking forward to working with her again!”

“Nebu took headshots for my first NYC job back in 2018. Usually, companies provide headshots like school pictures and they’re always awful. So Nebu offered his services. Seven years later, I’m still using the photo Nebu took of me. It’s the best headshot I’ve ever had, even though I’ve paid other photographers since and haven’t loved any of them the same way. I would recommend Nebu 10,000% and he’s such a genuinely good person, which makes the whole experience comfortable and easy.”

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
“Where do I start with Lacie and Tim?!? Lacie was the first vendor I booked and for a good reason, it took one call and that was it - I knew she would be perfect for our wedding day. My husband and I have always been photo-shy and have often took awkward photos, and had a fear this would happen during our wedding day. There was never a moment that Lacie did not know what to do or what to suggest. We never had to think about it. What I believe contributes to Lacie's photo magic is she is an amazing person, incredibly easy to talk to and a joy to be around, and makes you feel confident and comfortable - we realized during photos it was like we were gabbing and being around one of our friends, and this distracted us from the fact and anxiety that we were actually taking a photo. Not only did this make taking photos fun, but it captured a lot of great candid moments and the photos felt natural and not overly staged. On wedding day, they were on top of it - timely, organized, and efficient. They were also incredibly supportive while we were both pretty anxious. They also give your sneak peaks freaky fast. We have already seen a few of them, and they look straight out of a magazine. It was an absolute joy working with Lacie and Tim, and we definitely plan to use them again in the future as we grow our family.”

“I can't express enough how incredible Sarah and Peter at CityLux Studios are. Finding the right photographer was honestly one of the most overwhelming tasks during my wedding planning process. I wanted every moment of our day captured perfectly, and I can genuinely say CityLux Studios exceeded all my expectations. From the moment I started my search, they were the very first photographers I reached out to, and I knew from that first conversation they were the right choice. Sarah made such an impact on me from the very first phone call. She was incredibly personable, helpful, and immediately grasped the vision I had for our wedding. We worked together seamlessly from our engagement shoot, to our rehearsal, and then of course, the wedding itself. Every single photo turned out better than I ever imagined. Their photography style is absolutely stunning—elegant, timeless, and perfectly tailored to capture exactly what you want. They’re not only skilled but also intuitive, knowing just how to bring your vision to life. As a Type A bride with tons of questions, detailed vision boards, and a lot of ideas, I was a little anxious about making sure everything went smoothly. But Sarah was with me every step of the way, always available to make sure we were aligned and on the same page. Choosing to work with CityLux Studios was one of the best decisions I made for our wedding. They truly made the entire weekend feel special, and the photos are nothing short of breathtaking. If you're looking for a photographer who is not only talented but also genuinely invested in making your day perfect, look no further—CityLux Studios is everything you could ask for and more.”

“Rayleen is perfection! If you are looking for a photographer that will not only give you the best photos ever, but also become your friend then Rayleen is your girl! I was very specific about the photographer I was looking for as our venue is very dark and moody so I wanted a photographer that does that same thing. From the moment we met Rayleen we knew she was the one. We loved that we were vibing with her right away and she got that we did not want a lot of posed portraits. We were looking for a lot more candid photos. We did out engagement shoot at the brewery I work at and the photos came out amazing. We knew then that we had picked the right photographer. We had the best day taking photos, we never felt rushed or over photographed. We got our photos back in about 15 weeks which I thought was great even though she kept apologizing it was taking so long! Thank you Rayleen for not only being an amazing photographer, but also for becoming a friend!”

Timeless, editorial imagery with a warm, documentary approach. From the grand, luxurious details to the quiet, candid glances you share when no one’s watching, I’m there to preserve it all with intention. If you’re dreaming of wedding photos that feel both refined and deeply personal, I’d love to bring your vision to life.

“From the moment we first spoke with Destiny from WildRoot Moments, we were impressed by her thorough, and professional communication style. The quality of their work is phenomenal. Destiny and her team went above and beyond on our wedding day. Pushing the timeline (even stretching it in certain ways lol!) while also quickly directing all those involved to ensure the photos were done smoothly. Even after an unexpected 1.5 hour delay that caused our ceremony and entire timeline for the day to be ruined, the team quickly adjusted, made a new timeline/game plan and created pure MAGIC. As if the delay wasn’t enough trouble, we were then met with a surprise tornado for our OUTDOOR, BACKYARD wedding so again, all plans that we had made for specific moments to be captured had to be changed, (& quickly because that delay lol!). I truly believe any other team at that point would have thrown in the towel & said “well we did our best.” But luckily for us, we had been blessed with a true angel that day. Destiny's professionalism ensured our day was not ruined and was going to be every bit as perfect as we imagined despite the outside circumstances. The photos she captured, beautifully reflect the love between my husband and I, and one would never know the true chaos happening behind the scenes all because of her skillful work. We are eternally grateful to Destiny and the WildRoot Moments team for capturing our special day, one that we had waited 9 years for, in such a heartwarming way.. so if you’ve found yourself reading this, look no further. Destiny & the rest of the WildRoot Moments team are your people!”

Hi, I’m Isaac. In my world, light is everything. The cool ambient hues at dawn, hinting at what the day may bring. Golden sun rays catching particles through a tree as friends gathers to celebrate. A Cotton candy sunset peppered by patio string-lights as a DJ plays my favorite song. We all have timeless memories logged in our minds. For me, they are based in a language of light. As a wedding photographer, this deep connection to special lighting helps me produce dynamic visual stories of romance, personality and beauty.

He was flexible with the 5 flower girls we had in and out of pictures and the multiple areas on our venue property.

The Orion Archives is a wedding photography duo led by Allie and Olga, longtime collaborators who began photographing together during their college years. Based in New York and available for travel, we specialize in wedding photography that feels timeless, natural, and full of life. Our approach is calm and intentional, allowing couples to stay present while we document both the big moments and the quiet in-betweens that make the day unforgettable.

“From the moment we reached out to OK Heliography, Olga and her team were incredibly responsive and attentive to all of our questions and requests. Their communication style was excellent, and they made us feel comfortable and confident throughout the entire process. The quality of their work is truly unmatched - Olga has an incredible eye for detail and the ability to capture unique and beautiful moments that we will cherish forever. I am normally quite awkward in front of the camera, but Olga was wonderful at making me feel relaxed and at ease, helping us create stunning photos that perfectly reflect our love and personality. In fact, I have used OK Heliography for several photo sessions now, and would never trust anyone else to capture such special moments for my family. The entire experience was truly exceptional, and we are beyond thrilled with the results. I cannot recommend OK Heliography highly enough.”

Every wedding has its own rhythm. I'm inspired by the way a great film makes you feel like you're actually inside the story — the anticipation before something happens, the quiet moments between people, the movement, the atmosphere, and the unexpected frames you could never have planned. I photograph weddings with that same instinct, moving with what's already unfolding rather than forcing the day into a shot list or manufacturing moments. The images move between digital capture and authentic 35mm and medium-format film, giving each moment the rendering that suits it best — creating photographs that feel like frames from a film you happened to live inside.

“Caz and Sheldon were amazing to work with! Caz has such an amazing and special vision when it comes to photography and really captured our day to perfection and so beautifully. Upon receiving our photos back, we were able to relive our day as if we were in each moment! He is sooooo talented and I really recommend him to anyone. You won’t find a better photographer.”
