Carla Ten Eyck Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (6 reviews)
Hartford, CT
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $4,700

Almost 20 years of experience and I still get as excited as I did when I first started photographing events! I got my BFA in photojournalism at Rochester Institute of Technology and my common sense from a well-lived, full life. From intimate weekday elopements to full scale destination events that require a team of photographers, I have done it all. I focus on telling the most full and vibrant story of your event, so you can look back and feel like you didn't missed a thing.

Carla was the best photographer we could’ve ever had for our elopement, she made the day so special. My husband and I wanted to elope and didn’t know how to plan a wedding this way, and she walked us through the whole planning process, giving amazing recommendations for hair/makeup, location, officiant, hotel, etc. Everything recommended by her was perfect and any planning questions we had she was always there to answer. The day of the wedding she was with us from getting ready at the Goodwin Hotel, our first look outside the hotel, our wedding at the gorgeous Hartford City Hall, and then more pictures after at Elizabeth Park Rose Garden. Since we had no family or friends at the elopement with us, her energy and passion throughout the day was so wonderful and made the day even more exciting. It felt so special to have her with us that day. And the final result was a masterpiece. Not only were the photos she took phenomenal, but she was able to get them all back to us so fast, since she knew we wanted the photos before we had our wedding celebration with family. It’s been over 3 months now and I still look at these pictures everyday and am always in awe at how beautiful they came out. I would recommend her to absolutely anyone who wants a beautiful person who produces beautiful photos for their wedding.

Melanie is just about the sweetest, most caring individual you will ever meet! She is patient, and so helpful throughout the entire process! She and her husband photographed our wedding exactly a year ago today and as I look back at the memories they captured, I could never say anything other than perfect! She did our engagement photos and although we were expecting a “fall” day and we ended up with snow, she eased my stress and the pictures were stunning! So professional and so amazing! I would recommend her to anyone!

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.

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!!

Deirdre Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (2 reviews)
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $3,000
  • 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!!

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.
