I'm a husband and dad who comes stocked with dad jokes and silly prompts, and yes, they work. Couples tell me I bring a calming presence to the day, so you get traditional portraits and unposed moments that both feel like you.

“Chris is an absolute gem of a human and is incredibly passionate about his craft. From the first phone call to the final wedding photos, he was a joy to work with, and his work is nothing less than stellar. Our photos came out beautifully. I look forward to hopefully having him photograph more important moments!!”

For weddings, I team up with Woody of Images by Woody. We bring different perspectives and a shared love for capturing connection, personality, and the moments that unfold naturally.

Whether you're enjoying wedding planning and excited to choose a photographer, or ready for the entire shindig to be over, I want to help and support you from right now until the dance floor, while creating dramatic images that tell a story of you two, your day, and your unique brand of love. Take a look at my full body of work on my website, and if you like what you see and read, let's have our first conversation!

Awarded Best of Zola
“I don’t even know where to begin, because no matter how many words I use, I don’t think I’ll ever be able to fully capture just how incredible Johnny was. I can honestly say that choosing Johnny was one of the best decisions I made throughout this entire wedding planning process. You aren’t just booking a photographer—you’re getting a photographer, a best friend, and someone who genuinely has your back through the entire process. Weddings come with chaos, drama, last-minute changes, and everything in between. Johnny handled every change, every request, and every random thing we threw his way with nothing but patience and kindness. He never once made me feel guilty for asking for something. In fact, he did the complete opposite. He constantly reminded me, *“It’s your day.”* And that meant more to me than he probably even realized. Our engagement session still makes me cry. And now, two days after our wedding, I’m sitting here crying over our sneak peeks all over again. You are NOT getting your average, boring portrait photos with Johnny—and that’s exactly what we wanted. His photos don’t just make you look back on your wedding day; they make you **relive it**. The emotion, the little moments, the people, the love—he somehow captures all of it in a way that feels almost magical. What Johnny does is incredible, but who Johnny is makes it even more special. I truly cannot thank him enough for the way he showed up for us, supported us, and captured memories that I will cherish for the rest of my life. If you’re considering booking Johnny, do it. You won’t just be hiring a photographer—you’ll be gaining someone who cares about you, your story, and your day just as much as you do. And those are memories you can never put a price on.”

Carla Ten Eyck is a Latina, queer-owned Connecticut wedding, elopement + branding photographer based in Hartford, CT with 25+ years of experience. I specialize in true-to-color, natural photography for couples + business owners who want images that actually look like them. I photograph weddings + elopements across Connecticut and New England, including Hartford City Hall elopements, micro weddings + full venue weddings. I'm also a personal branding photographer working with entrepreneurs and small business owners who are ready to show up more boldly online. My work has been featured in Vogue + Martha Stewart +CT Magazine, to name a few. All couples + backgrounds welcome here.

“A camera can pick up the visual attraction of a moment, but most times it feels impossible to relive the actual energy of that place in time. Carla - is the absolute key to capturing every ounce of that magical energy. My wedding day was truly the most remarkable day of my life, and every single picture Carla took brings me back to that exact moment in a way I never thought a photo could do. Not only is she a visual genius - but she set the tone for the entire day. Some people in the bridal party who HATE having their picture taken, had so much fun they didn’t even realize they were having a “photo shoot”. Her attention to timing is flawless. Her timeline had every single picture we wanted to get, every friend and family member, every quirky thing I incorporated - and in the most elegant way I could have NEVER imagined. ALSO major plus - her son Jackson is a brilliant videographer. He did our video and their chemistry and vibrant energy was EVERYTHING!!!!! Do yourself a favor - just book her. She’s really busy because she’s so amazing so don’t wait. LOLOLOLOL”

Welcome! I am a daughter of Vietnamese immigrants who chose to move to Connecticut, where I have lived for most of my life.

My camera allows me to work where I know I work best, behind-the-scenes, front row at some of the most profound moments in people's lives. In a pinch though, I'll be there carrying the train, making sure you don't get your shoes dirty and helping to support you where I can throughout your wedding day!

“Working with Tharun and his entire photography team was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding reception. From the very beginning, they were incredibly professional, creative, and genuinely invested in making every moment unforgettable. They went above and beyond our expectations in every possible way. The quality of the photos and videos was simply phenomenal. Every shot captured the emotions, joy, and beauty of our celebration so perfectly that we get to relive those memories every time we look at them. But what truly blew us away were the edits they were absolutely fire! The cinematic quality, attention to detail, colors, transitions, and storytelling were on another level. The biggest testament to their talent was the response we received online. Every Instagram post created performed incredibly well, with friends, family, and even people we didn’t know commenting on how stunning the content looked. The visuals were so captivating that our posts went viral, and we continue to receive compliments weeks later. Beyond their exceptional talent, Tharun and his team were warm, patient, organized, and an absolute pleasure to work with. They made us feel comfortable in front of the camera and captured natural, candid moments that we’ll treasure for a lifetime. If you’re looking for a photography and videography team that combines creativity, professionalism, and world-class editing, look no further than Tharun and his team. They don’t just capture memories they create timeless works of art. We couldn’t be happier and would recommend them without hesitation to anyone looking for the very best.”

Your wedding day is a story of connection, from the quiet moments you share before the ceremony to the wild celebration on the dance floor. Our purpose is to capture all of it, the big emotions, the small details, and everything in between with a genuine and artistic eye. We don't just take pictures; we create a timeless narrative of your love story that you'll cherish forever.

Awarded Best of Zola
“From the moment we started taking photos, Rayleen from Meraki Photo, Inc. made us feel so comfortable and confident. She had us laughing, loving on each other, and genuinely enjoying every moment, which made such a difference. She knew exactly where to take us and how to pose us in ways that felt natural, not forced. Her creative eye and thoughtful ideas resulted in unique, stunning photos that captured the magic of the day while still feeling authentically us. Rayleen's work is absolutely top-notch — the photos are high quality, beautifully edited, and full of life. She balanced professionalism with so much fun, easily connecting with our wedding group and blending seamlessly into the flow of the day while capturing the most meaningful moments. She went above and beyond to contribute to our day in meaningful ways. One of her most brilliant ideas was suggesting we end the day by crushing grapes at the winery's grape festival. My husband and I climbed into a bucket of grapes in my wedding gown and his suit, and the resulting photos are truly incredible — unique, joyful, and unforgettable. Without her creative vision, we would have missed out on such a special moment and the amazing photos that captured it. Rayleen captured every laugh, happy tear and in-between moment. Every time we look at her photos, it feels like we're reliving our wedding day exactly as it felt. Rayleen is not only an exceptionally talented photographer, but also a genuinely wonderful person. She felt like a friend by the end of the day, and we hope our paths cross again. We would 10/10 recommend her to anyone in need of a photographer!”

Wedding photographs you'll return to for fifty years. The moments you were too happy to notice, the portraits you'll frame, the room exactly as it was designed, made quietly by someone already standing where the moment is about to happen. I'm Shukhrat, based in Connecticut and photographing weddings wherever you're celebrating: Newport and the Rhode Island coast, Boston, the Berkshires, the Catskills, the Connecticut shoreline, and further afield. Every wedding has two photographers and an assistant. Digital, 35mm film and licensed aerial photography from one team, and your first gallery, around 500 finished photographs, within a week.

Awarded Best of Zola
“Shukhrat and his wife Rachel just shot our June 8th wedding and we couldn't be happier. They were amazing to work with and the photos are phenomenal! About the pictures: Shukhrat is versatile and very skilled. When we took our engagement photos he provided us with various styles of photos and editing, and then used our feedback to guide the photos he took at our wedding. He is also flexible. We got married in a city park and there were wayyyy more people in the park than we were expecting at 6:00pm at night. Without missing any of the candid details or true-to-life colors that we wanted, Shukhrat was able to frame the photos and/or alter the lighting so that the park goers were barely visible in the background. Both Shukhrat and Rachel are also very skilled at giving direction when needed, but letting you do your own thing the rest of the time. Neither my husband nor I have a lot of experience in front of a camera—they gave us enough direction to feel confident, without making us feel stifled or overly posed. We wanted photos that felt organic and genuine, and they were really able to capture that. Working with Shukhrat and Rachel: The two of them were a dream to work with. Incredibly professional--very communicative, punctual, quick turnaround time on photos. And they are also just lovely people. You spend so much time on your wedding day with your photographers, it's really important to feel comfortable with them, and we certainly did. They brought both a fun, but calming energy, easing our pre-wedding jitters before the ceremony, and leaning into the excitement as the night went on. Although we hardly know them, they felt like friends. We are so glad we booked Shukhrat for our wedding!”

“We hired Juliana for our wedding this September, and she was absolutely incredible from start to finish. Her communication was always timely, kind, and professional, which made the whole experience so easy and stress-free. Beyond being an amazing photographer, she truly goes above and beyond. She helped us create the wedding day timeline, kept everything running smoothly, and still made sure we were able to enjoy the day exactly how we wanted. Our package also came with an engagement photoshoot, and those photos are just as stunning! Juliana was flexible, patient, and such a calming presence to have around on such an important day. And of course, the photos are absolutely stunning. She captured every special moment beautifully, especially for two people who don’t love being in front of a camera. We are so grateful to have these memories documented so perfectly. We seriously can’t recommend Juliana enough!!”

“Sylwia has been a saving grace since day 1. She is not only a photographer with incredible talent, she is also a fantastic adviser and confidante when it comes to all things weddings. Her bright and timeless photos are just the beginning when it comes to helpful she is leading up to and the days surrounding the wedding. I and my family absolutely loved her charm and support throughout the entire wedding process. My only regret is not getting a photo with her at the wedding. Anyone would be lucky to have her as a vendor and colleague in any walk of life.”

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,500
  • Serves Hartford, CT

Hi! I'm Aren, when trusted to tell your story through my lens, I take a photojournalistic approach. I value capturing the moments as they are happening on your big day, rather than making your wedding day into a "photoshoot". Real, raw, + authentic love is what I am here to capture. Minimalistic photography really draws my eye, never over complicating what's really happening in front of us, and finding the beauty in the simple, in-between, moments.

“Aren was an absolutely wonderful to work with for our wedding. From the first call, to engagement session, to our wedding day we felt so comfortable with putting the trust of capturing our day in her hands. She made sure to complete almost all of our shot list before the ceremony, leaving ample time to capture the reception and candid moments that were so important to us. Her style is exactly what we were looking for, and her photos speak for themselves. She truly captured the energy and spirit of our celebration in such a beautiful way. As someone who feels extremely awkward in front of the camera, I highly recommend doing an engagement session with her, as it gave us all a chance to get to know each other and for me to get a little more comfortable in front of the camera. We are beyond grateful to her for her thoroughness and creative eye for capturing so many memories from a year's worth of planning and such a few short hours of celebrating!”
