I would absolutely recommend Brian to anyone looking for a wedding photographer, you will not be disappointed!

When I first started wedding photography, I didn’t realize how quickly I would fall in love! Through my clients I have had the pleasure of watching many love stories come to fruition, capturing their most special day. Wedding photography is not just a job, it’s a true passion that I do because I love it. The long wedding days, the planning - I cherish every moment of it!

Awarded Best of Zola
Ephe was the best photographer ever. I was one of the last people in my friend group to get married and I’ve seen some photography disasters happen the day of. Ephe had none of that and all of my friends loved her and her work ethic. She is very punctual and organized. She understood the vibe that I was going for and she had my sneak peeks and all of my wedding pictures edited super quick! I wish I lived closer to Ephe so I could hire her for all of my photography needs.

Hey hey 👋, I’m LaDonna. Wedding photographer & videographer with a passion for celebrating the love stories of couples from all walks of life. Growing up in the suburbs of Boston and attending undergrad in Connecticut, I’m a true New England gal. Winter holds a special place in my heart, as I embrace the beauty and charm of every location I photograph. I’m always delighted to travel wherever your love story takes you—even an Aspen winter elopement. That would honestly make my heart smile! 😊 My mission: create timeless, heirloom-quality artwork that reflects the unique connection & individuality of each couple I have the honor to serve.

Awarded Best of Zola
I’m typically shy and not very photogenic, so I was extremely anxious about how our wedding photos would turn out. But after finding LaDonna through a Facebook ad, I immediately knew I wouldn’t have to worry if she was our photographer. She took the time to understand me and helped me find my confidence in front of the camera. By the wedding day, I felt completely at ease and able to focus on the moment with my husband rather than my insecurities in my head. LaDonna and the LT² team captured everything beautifully, balancing candid moments with fine art shots that truly tell our story. The photos are so authentic, and I’ll cherish these memories forever, along with the confidence I gained. Thank you, LaDonna, for an unforgettable experience! 3 7.27.24

Ben was not only professional and talented, but he also brought an artist's eye to every shot. Even though we had a plan for where to take pictures at our venue, Ben would stop us and say, "Hey, what do you think about this?" His picture choices ended up being our favorites – they truly captured the essence of our day. Kim was so sweet and thoughtful, even getting me some of my pictures early so I could use them for Christmas gifts.

Her timeless, classic style is exactly what I envisioned. She made everyone feel so comfortable, she even learned the names of our immediate family members (my MIL still raves about how much she loves Rachel)! We enjoyed spending most of our wedding day with her, she is lovely and made taking lots of photos so fun. She was also very experienced in creating a photography timeline and helped prioritize what was important to us on our wedding day. I highly recommend Rachel for all your photography needs!

Kristin Griffin Photography 

5.0

  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $2,750
  • Serves Essex, CT

I shot my first wedding in 2004, and from that moment on, I was hooked! It's an honor to witness and capture such an important moment in the lives of my couples. Before specializing in weddings, I focused on fine art and night photography. I earned a BFA degree in studio art from the University of Notre Dame (Go Irish!), and a MFA degree in imaging arts/photography from Rochester Institute of Technology. I taught black and white, digital, alternative process and studio photography at the high school, university and adult education levels. I love both the planned events and the unintentional, quiet moments that make a wedding unique!

Kristin is an absolute delight to work with! She was so easygoing and truly captured our wedding perfectly. It was really important to us to get most of our photos done before the ceremony, and she and her team made that happen so we could go enjoy the party (also - highly recommend doing that no matter who you book). I had some reservations about having two photographers AND a videographer there, since I’d been to weddings that looked more like paparazzi shoots, but they managed to capture everything without blocking anyone’s view. And can we talk about the turnaround?? We got our entire gallery, PLUS all the video footage (a few montages and longer videos) within three weeks of the event, including mailing us a flash drive! Kristen is a rock star and you should totally book with her.

After nearly a decade of freelancing as a wedding cinematographer and photographer, I’m excited to have opened my own studio, dedicated to capturing love stories. While I originally came to the U.S. in 2015 for a Master’s in International Business, I discovered my true passion for documenting life’s most special moments. Weddings are about more than just beautiful shots—they’re about preserving raw, candid emotions. My goal is to capture moments you’ll cherish forever, so you can relive your wedding day for years to come.

Awarded Best of Zola
From the moment we first spoke with Saajan and the team at Veil & Film, we knew they were the perfect photographers to capture our special day. Their communication style was responsive, attentive, and professional, yet they also had a warm and collaborative approach that put us at ease. The quality of their work is simply outstanding - artistic, high-quality, and truly emotional. They captured so many candid moments that we didn't even realize were happening, like my father tearing up during our first dance. Saajan and his team made us feel so comfortable during our first look, guiding us naturally while still letting us enjoy the moment. The highlight video they delivered perfectly told our love story, and the full-length documentary allowed us to relive every detail we might have missed. Veil & Film didn't just give us photos and videos - they gave us memories we'll cherish forever. Their services were worth every penny, and we couldn't recommend them more highly.

Hi friends! I'm a New England wedding and destination photographer based out of 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, and I pray that my clients can see the goodness of the Lord through every stage of working with me. I love hiking and finding a brewery afterward to grab a cider, strolling through a garden shop or bookstore, or catching a sunset down at the beach and having a picnic. I'm a Jesus- follower, wife to my best friend Justin, a mom to my son Jaxson, and dog mama to my girl Minnie.

Tianna is the best photographer and I am so happy she was available to shoot both our engagement session and wedding. She is so welcoming and knows how to help pose you so you don't ever feel uncomfortable. We had received so many compliments on our engagement pictures and when we got our sneak peaks from the wedding they look like they came straight out of a magazine. She took the sweetest family picture for us incorporating our dog on our special day and we couldn't thank her enough! She even surprised us on our wedding day with an album with mini polaroids she took throughout the day. We can't wait to see the rest of our photos!

I’m a photographer for people who don’t resonate with traditional wedding photography. For those who want their weddings to be told like a story that features every bear hug, belly laugh, stolen glance, spilled drink, booty shake, and happy tear. For those who prioritize genuine and unscripted moments over trends and shot lists. For those who don’t want to feel like they’re wasting their day posing for the camera. For those who are inspired by the past and hopeful for the future. For those looking to create a little bit of future nostalgia.

Caroline is such a talented photographer and I have been so fortunate to get to know her over last few years. Her work gives such an intimate glimpse into couples and families that she photographs and her edits feel nostalgic, warm and natural! On top of that she has a heart of gold, so honestly, you cannot go wrong. Book her!

I want to do cool things, with good people. Create connections. Become fast friends. Share my love for the outdoors. Find incredible light. Laugh our asses off. Have a conversation about whatever. Not talk about politics. Find out how you met. Swear a little bit. Get lost for a while. Talk about music. Throw some high fives. Arm wrestle. Probably bring up my cats. Ask you why you don't have cats. Make you believe that bigfoot is real. Bring some thunder. Ride the lightning. Take some photos. Looking forward to all of that.

If you are looking for a photographer, look no further than Joe. Not only is he incredibly talented (his portfolio speaks for itself), but cultivating a relationship with him was seamless. I don’t think there was a moment during our engagement shoot or wedding that we weren’t smiling, laughing, or joking around. He made us feel comfortable and matched our energy. Just from a few initial meetings/conversations, he was able to capture our personalities but also the essence/vibe of our wedding in a way we didn’t even think possible. Everyone we’ve shown pictures to has been nothing short of impressed. To boot, our wedding was December 13th and he had our entire portfolio back to us by December 22nd. Best Christmas present ever! Hire Joe. It will be the easiest and best decision you make!

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!

Hi, I'm Brooke (she/they) I'm a Massachusetts based wedding & elopement photographer. A client once told me that I captured things in their wedding photos that until then they had only ever felt. I saw this as the ultimate compliment. My goal in every session is to do just that: Turn an intangible feeling into a tangible image that will make your heart soar every time you see it. But what does love look like?

Awarded Best of Zola
When I say that Brooke went above and beyond to make our wedding day perfect, I truly mean it. When my wife and I decided to get married, one of our biggest concerns as a T4T couple was finding a photographer who was someone that could make us both feel comfortable showing up as our authentic selves. I’ve known Brooke for over 10 years and have always known they were an amazing human being inside and out, so when I discovered that she was diving into wedding photography (this was back in 2019) I knew exactly who to go to. When it comes to our trans identities, unlike many wedding vendors who just treat that like some major issue or something they need to be like “stepping on glass” to deal with, Brooke handled our wedding with nothing but the uttermost respect, dignity, ease and kindness. In addition to being queer friendly, she also is just so amazing at making you feel good behind the camera. My wife and I are extremely awkward picture takers and I was so worried that’s what you would get from our photos. But that was NOT even remotely the case. We adored the outcome of our photos because we just look so naturally happy and in love. The photos still, even now, bring so much joy to my heart when I look at them. They will probably be my forever background photos on my phone so I can always see them for that reason. I will forever be grateful for choosing Brooke to work with, and any photo needs that I have in the future will always be in Brooke’s hands, as now I trust no one else to make us look as good. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!! If I could give more than 5 stars I absolutely would!!!!

I cannot say enough amazing things about Blissfulstills Photography! From the moment we booked them for both photo and video for our wedding, I knew we were in good hands. Noble and Stevenson, our photographers, were absolute pros. My husband and I are terrible at posing, but they made us look like naturals in every single shot! They guided us through the entire process, making it fun and effortless, and the results were beyond stunning. But the real jaw-dropper? Carl, our videographer, crafted a wedding video that looks like an epic movie! Every moment is captured with such cinematic flair—it’s a masterpiece. Even a year later, I’m still in awe every time I watch it. The way they captured our day is something we’ll treasure forever. I recently found out that they don’t only just do weddings! I’m already planning to book them for every special event in our lives. Love you guys!

Wayne at LoveDays Photography is the best, no matter the metric. We used him for our backyard (COVID) wedding, our 1-year anniversary wedding, and our engagement photos in Boston and on the Cape. Wayne’s pictures are gorgeous - utilizing light in extremely unique ways - and extremely creative - utilizing everything marshes, to us lying in the parking lot (pictures turned out so great!), to us symmetrically spread out against a symmetrical building background. His pictures are really breathtaking, and we and our family and friends look back through them very frequently, and will continue to do so for the rest of our lives. If you want wedding pictures that are art, this is the photographer for you. Wayne is also extremely kind - both with his time and with his genuine interest in those he is photographing. He is funny and patient, even when other folks are stressed or late, and this makes him a master of the photography sessions, making calm and fun what can be very stressful. We highly recommend Wayne and look forward to using him for other events for years to come!
