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!

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!

Though You'll Hardly Notice Me When It Counts, I Will Have A Front Row Seat For The Happiest And Most Memorable Moments Of Your Life. I Will Probably Squeal In Excitement With You As You Slip Into Your Dress On The Big Day. I Will Cry When You Walk Down The Aisle To Your Best Friend.

I have been lucky to work with Jessica several times. As a fellow artist that loves the play of light and shade, the sunlight streaming through the trees, the true colors of nature, the way the breeze blows a lock of hair as a groom kisses his bride, I love to see her photography. As a makeup artist I’m also interested in seeing the photos of the faces of the bridal party so I can make sure my craft translates well in pictures, and appreciate when a photographer shares them with me. I still remember a photo from a wedding that was simply the couple seated at their sweetheart table at dinner and photographed from behind through a rustic grey barn door; you couldn’t see their faces but it was so visually beautiful with the grey rough wood juxtaposed with the back of the elegant lace gown as they were holding hands during the reception I still haven’t forgotten it. It was a moment no one else would ever have seen and perhaps the couple may have other forgotten, except Jessica captured that little moment in time. I feel that a couple will treasure the beautiful naturally posed photos she does, but will also especially remember their joy of their wedding day with a photo like that. Jessica is personable, kind, punctual and helps the couples to enjoy the photo taking session. I can’t wait to work with her again because she is so fun, you don’t have to wait a long time for the edited photos, and her work is gorgeous!

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!!

Hey, I'm Mary! It's nice to meet you. What you must know: (1) I'm a nerd. If you want to talk video games, LOTR or Doctor Who, we HAVE to sit down for a bourbon or a coffee. (2) Yes, I will be out on that dance floor with you snapping away while joining in on the fun. And (3), while I'm a photographer first, supporting you during the planning process feels crucial to me - from building a timeline to having your back any way I can. Woman/LGBTQIA+ Owned

From the moment we met Mary, we knew we wanted her to capture our special day. She is an amazing human and incredibly talented - I mean, just look at her work and it says it all! Her photography style is just beautiful. From the start, Mary was very in-tune with us and truly listened to what our vision was and then brought it to life even better than we could have imagined. She was by our side throughout the entire process, even including on our wedding day, beyond just capturing the moment, she was helping guide us through the day. Mary was truly our favorite “vendor” that was part of our wedding day - we got excited every time we were going to talk to her ahead of our wedding and we were ecstatic when we finally got to meet her IRL - she is just such a cool & talented human! Now that it’s all over, we’re so thankful to have the amazing photography that Mary captured, which we will be able to look back on for the rest of our lives. Thank you Mary, for being such an important part of our day and for capturing our day.

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.

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.

Hi, it's Jenni, I am a couples and wedding photographer based in Connecticut. I love hikes and adventures, nature is my natural habitat and my biggest dream is to travel the world. I am hopeless romantic and I will probably shed a tear at every wedding I attend or photograph, so if you see me wipe a tear at your wedding no you didn't lol. I am also a dog mom and I love animals in general, my puppy means the world to me! I am a dedicated, passionate, fun and caring person and I put love in everything I do. I can't wait to work with you!

Jenni with J Maurer Photography was a dream to work with for our wedding photography. Her communication throughout the planning process was consistently kind, fast, and professional, which we really appreciated during a hectic wedding season. On our big day, Jenni rolled with the punches when bad weather forced us to change plans last minute. She kept us calm with her reassuring demeanor, all while snapping gorgeous photos that she delivered many of the very next day. We were thrilled to relive moments from our wedding as soon as possible thanks to Jenni's quick turnaround. Overall, Jenni is a consummate professional who clearly loves capturing special moments with her lens. Her beautiful, adaptive work shined through despite the weather challenges. We'd enthusiastically recommend J Maurer Photography for any couple seeking stunning, timely wedding photos.

I had the absolute pleasure of being photographed by Debbie for my bridal shower this year, and she did a phenomenal job. From the moment she arrived, her energy was incredible; she’s fun, funny, and such a joy to be around. She has this rare ability to walk into a room and instantly elevate the vibe, which matters so much during events where emotions are high, and things don’t always go exactly as planned. What truly sets Debbie apart is her ability to deliver a gallery that looks and feels perfect, even when real-life conditions aren’t. In the world of events, something will always deviate from the plan; that’s just the nature of it, but Debbie captures the moments in a way that lets you hold onto only the joy, the beauty, and the fun forever. Her photos don’t just document the day, they preserve the feeling you want to remember. I’ve also had the pleasure of working with Debbie professionally on several intimate weddings and minimonies, with me as the planner/coordinator and her as the photographer. Every time, she delivers a visually stunning gallery while making clients feel completely comfortable being themselves. She will hype you up, make you feel amazing, and create an environment where you feel confident in your own skin, and that confidence translates beautifully in the portraits. No awkward sessions here. If you want someone who is authentic, brings great energy, and makes even stressful moments feel lighter, hire Debbie for your next intimate event. This is truly her zone of genius, and I cannot recommend her enough.

We are so happy we went with Vlad for our wedding. He was so friendly and good at his job. He was able to get all the shots we wanted, and he had some photo ideas that we didn’t even think of that we are really grateful we took. He was really capturing the moment the entire time. Highly recommend choosing Vlad!

Growing up in Egypt, near the great Pyramids, has inspired my eyes to capture great moments that last for life time. I am surrounded both by natural beauty and interesting people. I use my camera to document the world and then print images with a focus on the magic I find in daily life. My pictures tell my stories

We booked Emad for our wedding and he was exceptional in every way. He is an extremely genuine person and he worked so hard to capture the most incredible moments on our wedding day. He was extremely flexible, adaptive, professional, vocal, and took AMAZING pictures. He is extremely responsive and we could not have asked for a better photographer. We highly recommend Emad for any job!
