  • Serves Essex, MA

Situated out of Providence, Rhode Island, R&I Photography is a wedding photography company. Owners, Rebecca and Ilia specialize in providing candid, natural, and artistic photography while helping couples to relax and have fun in front of the camera. Every couple's love is unique and wonderful, and this team wants to give them a collection and an experience they'll remember and cherish forever.

Rebecca and Ilia were so amazing every step of the way. Prior to even signing a contract, they called us to discuss their editing style, different packages offered, and what we were looking for. Every step of the way when planning they were accessible by phone or text and were extremely helpful. They encouraged us to make a list of must have photos on the day of the wedding. Once they received it they called us to follow up and help us create a timeline for the wedding day. The day of the wedding they captured every single moment without making us feel like we were missing out on the day for photos. As the day got busy, they made sure we stayed on track and on time so we could get photos of everything we wanted. The attention to detail was amazing. I cannot recommend them enough!

Hello, I'm Margaret. It's so nice to have you. I love to see love & take pictures. Perfect match to be an engagement and wedding photographer. I'm a lover of fine art and candid moments. My editing style is filled with true color photography to bring your photos to life.

Awarded Best of Zola
Margaret was better than I could’ve asked! Leading up to the day she was so easy to communicate with. She created a timeline for the day and any thoughts I had she took them into account and found a way to incorporate them into the plan. Truely felt like a team because of how kind and thoughtful she is. Get to the day, she was a calming presence for sure. She showed up with a smile on her face and seamlessly cued the bridesmaids and myself throughout. She was present but didn’t hover it was the perfect balance. Along with that she was my hype girl throughout it 3 Now let’s talk about the pictures, I’m not used to getting my picture taken and feel so uncomfortable being the center of attention but she tells you every detail you need, and if something doesn’t look right she’ll correct it gracefully in the moment. I felt like I got to enjoy my day without it feeling like a photoshoot. She delivered the pictures so fast!! A couple of my bridesmaids made comments about how fast the turnaround time was…and they were breathtaking!! Better than I ever could have imagined, I can’t stop looking at them. Not a moment was missed and due to her talent we have the most perfect picture to remind us of our special day for the rest of our lives. Do yourself a favor and book with her, worth every penny.

Hugest hugs and thank yous for all you did for our wedding. We could not be more appreciative that you were there with us. We both absolutely loved the way you handled everything on the day and talked about it many times. Your presence was joyful and calming and fit right in. You have a natural intuitive sense of where to be and how, which we really noticed and appreciated. Dave made a comment about how the best cinematographers have a quality that is hard to describe but that has to do with connection to others, reading situations, and holding space…Not to mention how great your patience and help was with all the logistical items that we were too overwhelmed to be on top of ourselves!! We planned to plug in the drives and quickly click through the footage yesterday to make sure it all worked ok technically, but we ended up spending an hour and a half glued to the screen in tears!! We are both over the moon with your work, it’s exactly what we wanted. It’s hard to believe our luck with getting you on board. All this to say — thank you!!!!

Awarded Best of Zola
Julia is truly the BEST photographer out there and she makes everyone look SO GOOD!! We booked her for both our engagement session and our wedding because we loved her so much! She is so skillful at finding beautiful angles and working with natural lighting, and she was great at directing us with suggested poses that didn’t look forced or unnatural. She was also really easy to work with: we met up beforehand to communicate our vision and discuss the kinds of photographs that we wanted for the engagement session and we did that again for our wedding. On our wedding day Julia brought her husband Leo who is also a photographer to assist her and they came early in the morning to begin taking scenery photos, details, and other things while the rest of us got ready. She was there with us throughout the entire day all the way til the end of the evening and she went out with us to take some sunset photos in the middle of the reception, which turned out so beautifully! Finally, Julia was super prompt at sending us the final photographs, which I know she worked hard on because there were A LOT! We can tell that Julia truly enjoys what she does and really wants to get the best photos possible so she always goes above and beyond. I think the phenomenal photos that we’re sharing here can speak for themselves. She was such a joy to work with and we can’t wait to find some other excuse to hire her again!!

Awarded Best of Zola
We are beyond thrilled with the incredible work that Vinh and Sabrina did for our wedding! From our first meeting, this talented husband-and-wife team made us feel comfortable and excited about capturing our special day. Vinh’s photography skills are simply outstanding. He has a remarkable ability to capture candid moments while also guiding us for posed shots, making everything feel natural and fun. Every photo tells a beautiful story, and we’ve received countless compliments on the stunning images. Sabrina, our videographer, was equally amazing. She has an incredible eye for detail and a talent for capturing emotions in motion. The cinematic highlight film she created for us was breathtaking, and perfectly summarizing our day. We are very reserved and introverted people and were very nervous from the beginning on how the photos and video will turn out - to our surprise we looked amazing in them! Don't be afraid to put your trust in Vinh and Sabrina, they know what they are doing! What truly set Vinh and Sabrina apart was their accommodating nature and willingness to help us with our wedding timeline. They worked closely with us to ensure everything flowed seamlessly, which took a huge weight off our shoulders. Their professionalism and dedication were evident throughout the planning process and on the day itself. As a couple, Vinh and Sabrina have a beautiful synergy that shines through in their work. Their teamwork and passion for their craft made our experience all the more special. We couldn’t have asked for better people to document our wedding day! We wholeheartedly recommend Vinh and Sabrina to any couple looking for a fantastic photography and videography team. They truly made our day unforgettable! Lastly, the turnaround time was incredibly quick compared to the wait times I have seen from other friend's weddings.

I couldn’t use the AI to really describe the interaction between not only me and my wife but my family with Shannon. For one, as the groom, I’ve never seen my own mother glow the way she did on our wedding day. As well my mother in law! But when I saw my wife on our wedding day I couldn’t believe how good she looked!! I say that because she’s never been glammed up like she was. Shannon became part of our family that day.

I consider myself VERY lucky to do what I do, and I appreciate that fact every day. It's my goal to tell the story of your wedding the best way I know how- to be a photojournalist, fellow enthusiast, and friend. When you invest in me as your photographer, not only are you receiving my experience, my vision, and my creativity- but you, my friend are my number one priority. We will develop a friendship... and the one thing I never do... is let a friend down.

Kris and Mike are incredible. They are professional and skilled, yet feel like family. They went above and beyond all day long - from helping to carry my dress to moving furniture (and cleaning underneath!) for the perfect photos. Kris provided a thorough timeline which was a relief for me, and referenced by all other vendors, including our venue. They truly know how to do events, and do them well, while having a calming and fun presence. I can't imagine our wedding day without them and our families continue to reference how amazing they were. During the planning process, choosing vendors is a daunting task, and can feel like taking a leap of faith. Trust me, Kris and Mike were the best decision we made throughout the whole process. You two are the best!!!!!

Brian is one of the best wedding DJs in the business. In the past two years I’ve been to eight different weddings. Brian was the DJ for three of the eight, and the party/reception component of the events was never more fun than when Brian was driving the bus. He is an east coast DJ, but he spun tracks at both of my sister-in-laws’ weddings and as we were searching for a DJ for our own wedding we reached out just to see what he would charge for a wedding in Chicago. Turns out the price was right. Brian traveled to Chicago, MC’d our entire wedding, brought all of the equipment necessary and made our day exceptional in every way. I think there are a few things that really set Brian apart from other wedding DJs. Anyone can stand there and run through a playlist, but Brian went off book a few times to match and capture the energy of the guests. As we were in the midst of the planning process he added zero stress, and just calmly walked us through the process of selecting songs. He had suggestions and recommendations along the way. He even brought an extra speaker so that we could plug our digital piano in and the pianist would be able to play loudly enough. Overall, we can’t recommend Brian highly enough. You will not regret choosing him to DJ at your wedding, party, event. Whatever it is, Brian is a huge value add and a pleasure to work with.

Brenda offered us lists of vendors, made sure that we were on track and answered all the questions we had. She facilitated most of the meeting with the vendors and ironed out the timeline. we barely even knew the timeline, she asked us for our input on certain things and she just worked them into the timeline (we decided to add a last minute tea ceremony and Brenda made it work!) - we just went in intending to enjoy every second of our wedding day and we literally did not worry one bit about when we needed to be where since Brenda and her team made sure we were in all the right places at the right time so we just enjoyed every second of that day.

We could rave about DJ Thrilla all day long, but in the words of our wedding guests: “Best dance floor we’ve seen in a long time!” It’s been weeks since our wedding and our guests can’t stop talking about how great the music was. Arthur did a great job with the ceremony and cocktail hour, and managed a tricky parent dance section (multiple sets of parents & timing!) We requested a Taylor Swift mashup and he exceeded expectations and made it the highlight of our night. The dance floor was always packed, and Arthur did a great job of taking into account our requests while playing music everyone would enjoy. We opted to use uplighting as well, which looked beautiful during dinner (we chose a warm lighting) and was so fun for the dance floor with flashing lights. By the end of the night, he even had guests asking him to travel to Texas to DJ their wedding! Booking DJ Thrilla was one of the best vendor decisions we made for our wedding and we could not recommend him more!

Booking Cassie to be my wedding coordinator three months out to my wedding day was the best decision I made in the wedding planning process! I really thought I did not want or need a planner/coordinator, but having Cassie there really allowed me to enjoy my wedding. Cassie was diligent, organized, responsive, and patient. Cassie was so on top of every detail and knew all my vendors’ contracts inside and out! I had done lots of research online to make sure I knew every detail going into the wedding planning process, but there were some things I would not have known and Cassie was able to guide me through. For example, one of my vendors insisted an additional hour of rental time needed to be added to the wedding day (that would have cost me hundreds of dollars) and Cassie advocated for me, citing their contract, that it was not necessary. Cassie was also available to help make decisions regarding decor, helping me decide on pieces that best suited and enhanced the venue. I explained my vision of romantic candles everywhere throughout the event. Cassie and I worked together to shape where everything would go to create the seamless look. Cassie (and her assistant Cammie) made everything look stunning on the wedding day - and expertly packed up everything at the end of the night for us. I thought I could have my sister or family friend be in charge of so many of these tasks, but it was *so nice* delegating this out to a professional so that everyone could enjoy the day. Thank you Cassie for an amazing wedding day! Photo credit of venue photos: Created Coastal Photography

Bloom Culture: Do-it-Yourself Wedding Flowers was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. From the very first inquiry, their communication was prompt, kind, and professional. They answered all of my specific questions with personal responses, making the DIY flower process so easy and stress-free. The quality of their work was consistent, thorough, and truly showed how much they cared about making our day special. We saved so much money going the DIY route with Bloom Culture, and it allowed us to create so many wonderful memories putting the arrangements together with our wedding party. I highly recommend Bloom Culture to any couples looking for a reliable, affordable, and caring florist for their wedding. I wanted to do my own flowers to honor my grandmother who was a florist. She passed a few months before the wedding and I just know she would have absolutely loved it and we got to honor her in this way.

Ben and I just want to extend our heartfelt gratitude for not only your photography and images you captured on our wedding day, but for all the little things you did in between to help! You put us at ease with being behind the camera, became a friend, and we are forever grateful to have found you to capture our special day! Ben can’t stop talking about how he’s never laughed so hard with a hired professional and never thought that taking formal photos could be so fun! “Squeeze her like a ketchup bottle” was his favorite! Thank you for capturing our wedding and forever becoming etched in our hearts! Shaina and B

I’m Beth McCusker, I’m a wife and mom of three amazing kids, and I’m also a Hairdresser/makeup artist enthusiast! Besides being a mom I am absolutely in love with being a Bridal Hairstylist and makeup artist. It is my passion and not just a hobby. I take my work very personally and I am extremely detail oriented. I strive to provide the best experience for all my brides and their tribes. I hope to be part of your big day and let me help beautify you.

I had a fantastic experience with Beth on my wedding day! After a makeup trial and two hair trials, I decided on an updo, which was perfect—it stayed in place all night! My makeup was exactly what I wanted: natural yet bridal. She also did hair and makeup for my bridal party (my mom, maid of honor, and sister), and they all looked stunning. Beth made us feel beautiful and confident, and I couldn’t be happier with her work. Highly recommend!"

I’m thrilled that Zola connected us, and I’d love to hear all about your wedding vision. All of my flowers are handcrafted from sola wood, a material derived from the tapioca plant. They’re lightweight, soft to the touch, and designed to look just like real flowers. One of the best parts? Since they’re made of wood, I can ship them to you no matter where you are in the U.S.! To get started on your custom quote, simply fill out the form with the website below. I’m really looking forward to working with you and making your day extra special! https: // www. foreverbloomsfloral . com / wedding
