Black Connecticut wedding photographer, purveyor of the artistically-engineered photography experience. That's a crafty way of saying, I'm a computer nerd who's pretty good at photography and believes in great service! Digital image gallery, print rights, and beautiful, physical prints included with every package. My work focuses on telling my couples’ wedding day love stories through the pictures I capture. Artwork is the goal, whether it’s a highly-stylized posed photo or a moment where a loved one is emoting.

Awarded Best of Zola
“We found Terrence very early on in our wedding process. His gallery had some of the most beautiful photos we had ever seen; some were dramatic, which is what my husband loves, others were soft, warm, and candid, which were my favorites. To find a photographer that could fit both of our styles was so exciting. Terrence’s package was over our budget, in part because we were marrying in NY, so would have to pay a travel fee. I was convinced I could find someone within budget. I searched and agonized for an additional two months. Finally, my now-husband convinced me that the photos would be the one thing from the day we would get to keep forever and we sprang for Terrence and let me tell you, both of us have agreed the extra cost was more then justified. In high heat and humidity and looming storms, Terrence did everything he could to keep us on-schedule and to get incredible photos at a venue he had never even been to. We just received our sneak peak gallery and all of us are in awe of the photos he captured. We look forward to working with Terrence in the future for other big life moments, and you should absolutely book him too - engagement shoot or wedding, Terrence will capture your moment perfectly!”

“Oh where to begin!? We truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Ashley. She has such a special eye for capturing genuine emotions and candid moments in such a beautiful way it's indescribable. And you'll also want to be best friends with her too! She's the best and such a lovable person. From the very beginning, she made us feel so comfortable (my husband is so camera shy btw lol) and she even helped me feel completely at ease about the planning process by providing examples of day-of timelines and lists of needs and not-to-forgets. I knew from one phone call with her that we weren't booking anyone else and our engagement shoot was such a sweet sneak peak for what to expect from her skills on the big day! Nothing would have prepared us for our actual wedding photos though. She and Vannity (our very skilled bonus photographer) did an incredible job capturing all the little details and specials moments. Vannity is also just as easy to love as Ashley! If you’re looking for someone who will make you feel comfortable and truly care about your experience, we cannot recommend her enough. We will be forever grateful that Ashley and Vannity were part of our special day!”

The photos he captured of our wedding day were truly stunning, and we were amazed at how affordable his services were. He made sure to take photos of our parents and guests, as well as all the little details that made our day so special. The only thing we would have liked is if he had taken more photos of us with our wedding party and our children, I am honestly a bit bummed about that. However, I suppose I should have paid closer attention to that to ensure that was done. Overall, we are thrilled with the memories Tony helped us preserve from our wedding day. We highly recommend ALM Photography to any couple looking for an experienced, talented, and customer-focused photographer.”

She beautifully captured the event and the happiness of the day!”
