Awarded Best of Zola
“We absolutely love our photos from our December 2025 elopement at Hartford City Hall! Working with Breanna Diaz Photography LLC was an incredible experience from start to finish. As a photographer myself, finding the right person to capture our wedding day was a huge decision. I wanted someone I could fully trust so I could truly be present and enjoy the moment rather than think about the photos. Breanna gave me exactly that peace of mind. She had an amazing ability to be everywhere at the right time without ever making the day feel staged or overwhelming. Our images are emotional, timeless, and truly tell the story of our elopement from Hartford to Foxwoods. Every time we look at them, we’re brought right back to that day. If you’re looking for a photographer who is professional, talented, and truly cares about documenting your story, I can’t recommend Breanna enough.”

Imagine this: it's your wedding day. You're somehow feeling both insanely excited and at peace. You made your day into a little universe that represents you and your partner. The details are super personal, the atmosphere feels like home, and you can't wait to see it full of your favorite people. You’re thinking about being a total goofball with your love, the enthusiastic conversations, your friends losing their minds during the first kiss. You know that song that you and your partner sing in the car? When it comes on, you'll grab their hand and run to the dance floor. And in 50 years, you'll see those exactly moments as they were

“I could not have asked for a better person to capture my wedding! On our wedding day, it poured rain and I was absolutely devastated that the outdoor wedding I had been dreaming of was not happening. As I was sitting there faced with that reality, about to ruin my makeup with tears, Andrea swooped in like a superhero and genuinely made me feel like the rain was a good thing. She was the only voice of reason that made me feel like everything was still perfect. She ran around in the rain with us all day capturing the most gorgeous photos and I didn’t feel like I missed out at all. She was prepared with clear umbrellas and we actually had fun! She is also just so talented, the pictures and the saturation are just absolutely gorgeous, and not only that but she also has an absolute talent for capturing joy and movement. All my vendors have chosen to use her photos from my wedding on their websites, seriously just hire her!!!”

Wedding and event photographer and djs in CT. Lyrical Lens Events performs weddings, mitzvahs, quinceañeras, and more. We connect with clients to create personalized, unforgettable moments through photography, dj, lighting and photobooth services.

“We hired Lyrical Lens for our wedding in Sept 2020. We found it very easy because they offered DJ and photography, and also a Photo Booth. The process of booking was super easy, and prior to the wedding they gave me access to a site to input the songs I wanted for each part of the ceremony and reception. Super easy. I also loved that we got two photographers. At the wedding itself, the music was on point, keeping the dance floor full all night long. Connie and the other photographer really snapped all of the action throughout the night. We got so many comments from our friends about how great our photographers were and that they were “everywhere,” and even a comment about how Connie had stood on chairs to try to get the perfect shot. We have great shots of everyone dancing having a great time, group shots, family shots, etc. I highly recommend Lyrical Lens for all of your wedding needs.”

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.

“We seriously can’t say enough good things about Shukhrat and Rachel. From the moment we met them, we knew we were in the best hands. Not only are they incredibly talented, but they’re also just genuinely kind, calming, and lovely people to be around — exactly the kind of energy you want on your wedding day. They made us feel so comfortable, like we were just hanging out with friends — and somehow, in the middle of all that, they captured the most beautiful, emotional, and real moments of our day. When we got the photos back, we were completely blown away. They didn’t just take pictures — they told the story of our day in a way that felt true to us. Looking through our gallery brings back all the joy, love, and magic we felt, and we’ll honestly treasure these photos forever. We feel so lucky to have had Shukhrat and Rachel as our photographers — they’re the best decision we made (besides marrying each other!).”

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.

Hi. I'm Sylwia, wedding photographer based in Connecticut. I believe that there is beauty to be found in everyone and everything. Each wedding is full of its own special moments and my aim is to create beautiful and intimate imagery that you can treasure forever. My work is inspired by natural light, nature, thoughtful details and people who are deeply in love.

Awarded Best of Zola
“Sylwia was an absolute joy to work with! She captured the most beautiful moments that felt natural. Her style of photography is absolutely timeless and so elegant. She even helped me plan out my entire wedding timeline to ensure we would have enough time to capture every detail. She went above and beyond to help ensure our wedding day ran smoothly and on time. We absolutely adore our sneak peek photos and we cannot wait to get the rest of them! Highly recommend Sylwia for any photography needs!”

“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.”
