From start to finish, Willow Photo Co. was amazing to work with! My wife and I were married in 2020 with limited family present. For our 5 year anniversary we had a “re-wedding” with all our family and friends. So it was very important to us to pick the right team to capture this special day, and Willow fit perfectly! Ryan provided clear communication and explanation of all our photo/video options at our first consultation. Leading up to our wedding day, we met with Ryan again to go through the timeline and our desired photos. We felt 100% confident in the Willow team to capture our special day. Day of, Britt was our photographer and Ryan our videographer. Both of them were professional and fun, and made us feel comfortable and celebrated as an LGBTQ couple. After the wedding, we received communication for when and how we would receive our photos and video. We were so so so pleased with how everything turned out. The photos are BEAUTIFUL! Don’t hesitate to book Willow, they are amazing!

When searching for a photographer, I was overwhelmed by the number of options available. Dominique didn’t make me feel pressured. She provided us with her wedding guide, which gave us insight into who she is. When we met remotely, I instantly knew she was the one. She was enthusiastic, listened attentively, and asked us questions about what is important to us leading up to the wedding and beyond. She was great to work with, and I knew what to expect. She drafted our timeline, offered recommendations, and helped us design it based on what was important to my husband and me. She curated a family shot list, and let me tell you, she did not disappoint. Her and her team were amazing.

Hi, I’m Nicole (she/her) - a Rhode Island-based wedding photographer. I have more than a decade of experience shooting weddings of all kinds - and today, I work collaboratively with my couples to create photos that evoke how their day felt. Photos of honest and emotional interactions; small details that hold weight and meaning; effortless portraits that capture the feel of the surrounding space or landscape. The result is a narrative visual story of enduring human connections, and a chronicle of emotional moments that they can revisit time and time again.

Nicole was one of the best vendors we worked with. She knows the business and is super friendly, funny, and casual - like our friend was taking our photos. She drove all the way to our home in Maine to do our complimentary engagement photos. The photos are glowing and speak for themselves.

Crissy and Amanda of Bayless Photography, Inc. were all we could’ve hope for on our wedding day! From the initial planning process, Crissy was very responsive and professional, ensuring she understood exactly what we wanted. On the day of the wedding, both Crissy and Amanda were personable, fun, and helped create a relaxed, positive vibe that put everyone at ease. The final photos we have so far are absolutely beautiful - they captured all the special moments we wanted, as well as some beautiful candid shots we didn't even know we needed. We received our "sneak peek" of the photos so quickly, which was wonderful. As a couple who doesn't often get photographed, Crissy and Amanda made us, and the entire wedding party, feel comfortable in front of the camera. We couldn't be happier with the value and quality of their work, and highly recommend Bayless Photography to any couple planning their wedding.

I found myself photographing weddings 5 years ago. Before that I was into documentary and travel photography. I traveled the world doing it. My passion for love stories began after a friend asked me to photograph their wedding. It was the most intimate experience for me, the deep connection and the responsibility I was granted by my friend felt nothing but honorable. After that I decided to give it a go. Fast forward, today my style is candid and non-obtrusive and of course I work with posing and I’m really good at giving people directions. My passion is to observe my subjects and capture them in a very natural, honest and uncontrived way.

Marilia Lima Photography was a wonderful choice for our wedding photographer. Marilia was clear, organized, and professional in their communication with us throughout the entire process. Their work is meaningful, intentional and one of a kind. We selected them for their style which is natural, candid, and dreamy. Marilia was present and patient with Patrick, me and our families throughout the whole day, helping to capture the day with ease and grace. It was end of June and a little drizzly and Marilia embraced this and was able to capture some truly stunning detail shots in the rain. We did not do a first look so we did all our pictures after the ceremony and it never felt rushed; we were very at peace and were even able to make it to the cocktail hour. We were grateful for this. Marilia offers film as part of their standard packages, and I would highly recommend including this - one of my favorite shots so far is one they got of us under my veil on film. I highly recommend Marilia Lima Photography for your wedding day. Adding a few of the shots we got back on film below.

Weddings for me are such a perfect setting for a photographer. No two are ever alike regardless of setting or season, the variables are endless. This creates a never-ending challenge with which to grow as a visual storyteller. All while being surrounded by people experiencing the best day of their life, I can't imagine having a better job

Working with Trevor Holden was one of the best decisions we made for our Block Island elopement. He is professional, accommodating, and a total blast to hang out with. He managed to capture the "romantic beauty" of the island while making the session feel effortless and fun. Two major standouts: Trevor flew to the island specifically for our off-season wedding, and he provided our edited collection remarkably fast. We were thrilled to have photos to share with our family immediately. Aside from being a great guy, his work is stunning. He captured the love and fun of our day perfectly. If you want a photographer who truly knows the island and makes you feel at ease, book Trevor!

Tired of not seeing yourselves represented in the wedding industry? Welcome to the RTP fam - we're a husband and wife duo shooting a combination of digital, film and Polaroid photos so that your gallery will deliver all the vibes and capture your sick, nontraditional love. And because of all the time we'll spend together getting to know you and crafting the perfect photo timeline for your day, you'll feel like we're just your two best friends there to capture the moments. No matter your size, race, gender, sexual orientation or religion, we're here to hype you up as you share all your wildest wedding ideas with us!

How do we even begin to explain how much we love Rhode Tripper Photography? If you’re reading this while considering booking them for your wedding - FULL STOP, JUST DO IT. Meaghan and Evan are two of the most lovely people we have met. Once we had our wedding date, they were the first vendor that we booked for our big day. From the very first meeting, we felt completely at ease talking to them about our vision, our budget, and what we wanted the day to feel like. They are super well connected in the wedding industry, and had lots of recommendations for other vendors when we felt overwhelmed. Initially we opted to skip an engagement shoot, but ended up reaching out to book one so that we’d have a little practice posing. It felt right for us as it gave us a chance to meet Meaghan and Evan and see how we felt behind the camera. They made us feel comfortable right from the start, and while we initially booked it just for practice, we were stunned by how beautiful the photographs came out. We knew immediately we’d made the right choice in booking Rhode Tripper Photography and ended up extending our wedding day coverage. We just couldn’t get enough of their gorgeous style and eye for detail. Leading up to the wedding, Meaghan and Evan were available for all of our questions and planning details. Meaghan ended up assembling a wedding timeline that even our event planners were blown away by. You can tell she knows what she’s doing (spoiler - the timeline was perfect down to the minute). On the day of the wedding, we felt completely relaxed and honestly just giddy to be around Meaghan and Evan. They brought such a fun and light energy to our day and blended in seamlessly with our friends and family. When we needed a leader in the chaos, they were there to make announcements and call people to step up for photos and stay on track. When we were on the dance floor, they blended in like they were lifelong friends dancing with all of us. When pollen from my flowers stained my dress, Meaghan had a Shout wipe ready - and did you know that Shout wipes work way better on a wedding dress than a Tide pen? MEAGHAN KNEW. We could truly go on forever about how much we love Rhode Tripper Photography, but we’ll let their gorgeous photos speak for themselves. We were delighted to get a stack of beautiful Polaroids at the end of the night, a stunning sneak peek the next day, and we can’t wait to see the way they captured the rest of the day. We’ll be gushing about them forever to everyone we know!!

Hi, I'm Kate! I am a full time photographer based in RI. I photograph hybrid 35mm film and digital portraits. I travel throughout New England and love working with fun, adventurous couples. Most of my work has a very natural feel to it. I capture moments, making for a very lighthearted, low stress day. I am a roll-with-the-punches sort of person, which comes in handy since no wedding day ever goes totally to plan! I focus on the joy, laughter, gratitude and everything in between! We’ll probably go adventuring a bit to get some really cool shots. We will definitely laugh a lot. Sound good? Check out my portfolio or get in touch to chat more!

If you’re considering booking Polar Square Designs, just do it! Kate was so responsive, professional, helpful and flexible. Neither my husband nor I love having our photos taken (especially in public) but Kate made us feel totally comfortable on our engagement shoot at the beach and we ended up with some incredible shots. The turnaround time to get our whole gallery back was so quick. Leading up to our wedding, Kate’s questionnaire helped us nail down what shots we really wanted and the timeline she came up with was very helpful! On our wedding day, Kate and the second shooter Allison worked together so well and made sure we got all the shots we wanted! Everything flowed perfect and they did an amazing job capturing our best day ever! We received a bunch of “sneak peek” images less than 24 hours after our wedding and they’re all so good! Kate’s creativity and skill are evident in the results. I highly recommend Polar Square Designs!

I’m Jen Lamy, and I became a wedding photographer because it is the best job in the world! As a creative professional, it allows me to be and do so many things at once; I’m a portrait photographer, a commercial photographer, a photojournalist, a fashion photographer, a businesswoman, a friend and consultant, and most importantly, a documentarian.

We had a truly wonderful experience with Jen. We live in NYC and were planning our Newport destination wedding long distance. From the first Zoom call, I felt like I was talking to a friend, and I was not wrong. We ended up talking for two hours and Jen helped me with all kinds of things that I couldn't just hand off to our wedding planner, (like how to do portraits with our complicated families and where to seat them). I described the look I wanted for our photos and Jen was immediately able to pull out examples from past weddings and samples of her work that were absolutely incredible and spot-on. On the day, everything went so, so smoothly. Jen showed up like an absolute boss with her lighthearted humor and genuine excitement, everyone loved her. I could see how my sisters and bridesmaids and even my stressed out mom opened up to her. The candids that she was able to capture are priceless. When I was planning my wedding, I didn't fully understand how valuable REAL photos would be. Now that I have them, I can't believe that I could have missed out on them! Two of my friends have already booked Jen for their weddings. Just book her, BOOK HER!

Especially our group photos. I didn’t want the “everyone stand in a line and smile” type photos that I very often see people share.

I have been shooting weddings, engagement sessions and family sessions all over New England since 2014. Every event I have shot feels like the first day of a new job to me: exciting, eye-opening, and full of potential. I love being exposed to new cultures and rituals, dance moves and family dynamics.

Sara is an amazing photographer and incredible professional to work with . We were victims of Covid, originally had a June 2020 wedding. Sara was so flexible and quick to communicate with me about changing the dates. She came out to shoot our small backyard ceremony and our big 1 year celebration. She is friendly, professional, quick to respond and gave us stunning photos from each event. She has a wonderful calm but direct personality which helped ease my camera shy husband and get us beautiful photos quick so we could spend most of Our time enjoying the party!

Hi hi, I’m Joy Imani (she/her). I capture real, heartfelt moments through digital and film photography. My work is all about connection, storytelling, and making you feel seen. With a name like mine it's hard not to use a pun in every sentence, but I truly do love to capture joy in all the forms that it comes, and each client that invites me to be a part of one of their most joyous days is an honor.

I’ve hired Joy multiple times for work projects and personal projects, like my surprise engagement. Joy is incredibly organized, communicative, and professional throughout each session and captures gorgeous moments. Her eye, craft, and dedication show in how she makes her subjects feel—safe, warm, and vibrant. I’ve been recommending Joy for years and will continue to do so!

My photography is all about your love and what makes it special. I want the photos to feel like you and your partner! Photos are some of the best memories we have and it’s an honor to be able to capture people in love.

Working with Erika was like working with a long time friend. She made the experience so comfortable and fun for people who never have their picture taken. Erika will work both to capture the special moments and be your personal hype person! They made our visions come to life and even seeing just the sneak peeks, we’re the most impressed! We can’t wait to book more sessions with Erika in the future!
