Carla Ten Eyck Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (6 reviews)
Hartford, CT
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $5,900

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

Here's to timeless photography with a shower of romance and a strike of passion. Our wedding day is many things. Bubbling with laughter and lingering in a soft kiss. Impromptu sing-alongs with forever friends and quiet gratitude for this chance to bring everyone together. You deserve imagery that documents your wedding day's natural cadence with authenticity. That you can hold and cherish. Plus, I come stocked with dad jokes and silly prompts. It's a win-win.

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!!

Awarded Best of Zola
A couple of years ago one of my high school friends got married and I loved her photos on Facebook. Fast forward to 2015 as my fiancee and I were looking for a wedding photographer I remembered Melanie's photos of my friend. I spoke with my friend and she highly recommended Melanie. We met with Melanie and clicked instantly. She helped us plan a beautiful engagement session and our wedding. The entire day went perfectly and Melanie captured every moment. My husband said to me as we were looking through the gallery, "these photos are postcard perfect!" I would have to agree with him and love that we will have these photos to always remember the day. Since our wedding we have recommended Melanie to other friends who are getting married and they have said that Melanie and Brian were the best vendor that they worked with for the wedding!

Fox and Veil Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (8 reviews)
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $4,600
  • Serves Hartford, CT

We are Maegan and Joe DeCrescenzo, and the little peanut in the picture above is our daughter Juniper. We photograph couples and families during some of their lives most exciting moments. After almost 11 years of photographing weddings together we still get misty eyed at almost every wedding. We know first hand how awkward it can feel to be in front of the camera (umm...what do I do with my hands?), and thankfully know just what to do to make you feel at ease. With a mix of candid and gentle guiding and prompts we make sure you don't just get great photos, you also have a lot of fun.

Here’s a more polished and heartfelt version of your vendor review that emphasizes the “feels like a friend” sentiment: --- Working with Fox and Veil Photography was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From the very start, Megan felt more like a trusted friend than a vendor—someone who genuinely cared about our day and went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. Her communication was seamless and responsive, which made the planning process feel effortless. We were aiming for a timeless, elegant look, and Fox and Veil delivered that beautifully while still capturing the candid, emotional moments that made the day uniquely ours. Megan's attention to detail, calming presence, and ability to keep things moving smoothly were absolutely invaluable. We’re so grateful to have had her by our side on such an important day, and we can’t wait to work with her again for future milestones. We recommend Fox and Veil wholeheartedly to any couple looking for a photography team that is equal parts professional, talented, and genuinely kind.

Deirdre Photography

  • Serves Hartford, CT

I began capturing images in high school at a young age and fell in love with the process of capturing raw moments on camera. I decided to pursue my dream and go to school in Boston for photography. Alongside this, I have my sociology degree and really understand and connect with so many people. To me, building strong connections with my clients is so important and I find myself being able to easily talk to people of all walks of life. My knowledge of people and passion for photography sparked my pathway into wedding photography; capturing love filled couples and all the emotions that come with getting married.

Working with Deirdre was one of the best parts of our wedding! We were glad to meet her beforehand at the engagement shoot - she really helped us feel comfortable and went above and beyond to get shots in some different locations that held special meaning for us. At the wedding, it is SO good to have a familiar face. She again made not just my husband and I but the whole wedding party feel comfortable. She dealt with family chaos like it was no problem at all (when people tell you that family photos are the most stressful part of the day - BELIEVE THEM). She has an excellent eye for detail and captured some truly beautiful shots. Our sneak peeks are great - I know the full album is going to be special!!

Hey there! I'm Devan, the face behind the camera. I'm a stay at home momma by day and a memory catcher by night/weekend. I grew up a photographers daughter, so I guess you can say it's in my blood! I have an amazing husband (Justin), a wild little 2 year old (Brantley), and a newborn named Tucker! This isn't just a career for me, it's a passion. I like to create a relationship that last forever with all of my clients. I look forward to chatting with you and seeing what magic we can create!

I have had both the pleasure of working with Devan both as her Dj at her wedding and as a vendor when she was the photographer. She is just an awesome person and really cares about both her work and her clients. You could not do better!

Awarded Best of Zola
After your venue — and your partner (in that order) — your photographer is the most important choice you’ll make for your wedding. They’re the ones who help you preserve the day forever. They’re also with you through so much of it, so you want people who make you feel comfortable, relaxed, and genuinely add to the experience. Joe and Elin do exactly that. From start to finish, they partnered with us to make sure everything ran seamlessly — from helping us build a detailed timeline to ensuring everyone felt included and cared for throughout the weekend. We lost count of how many guests asked, “Who are your photographers? They’re the nicest people!” or commented on how Joe and Elin made the day even better — and how often do you hear that? They captured every moment beautifully, brought a sense of calm and fun to the day, and left us with photos we’ll treasure forever. Joe and Elin are the easy choice — and one of the best decisions you’ll make for your wedding.

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
I knew we needed to book Kaitlin from the second I found her Zola profile, but it was completely solidified by our meet and greet meeting. Kaitlin is exactly as described. So personal, completely herself, open and transparent, I could go on and on. One of the biggest things that sold us with Kaitlin (besides her work) was the fact that she gave us advice on what to look for/questions to ask with other photography vendors while we were on our hunt. We had our engagement photos in October in Boothbay Harbor and we are actually located in Western Mass. I had ideas in my head about what would work and Kaitlin made the drive to check out the locations and ensure they actually would. One of my locations wasn't the best lighting wise and she gave multiple other options to get similar looks. We actually ended up doing some downtown photos which are some of my favorites (which is a little a lie because I am obsessed with all of them). I read in multiple of Kaitlin's reviews that she makes awkward people comfortable behind the camera and I am here to say it is true. I was so stressed going into things, worried my hair looked bad, we wouldn't get *the* shot, we would look weird, etc. Kaitlin immediately asked me what my worries were and I felt so at ease. Working with Kaitlin felt like working with with a lifelong friend who really has it all together and is such a professional. I truly know that our wedding day is going to be that much better knowing she is going to be there documenting it all.
