Awarded Best of Zola
Kristen was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! She photographed both our engagement session—where she captured the sweetest shots of us with our pups—and our wedding day, and we couldn’t be more grateful for her talent, energy, and heart. From the very beginning, Kristen was so down to earth and easy to connect with. She has such a great personality and instantly made us (and our whole crew) feel comfortable in front of the camera. She even helped me button up my dress after a quick bathroom break—talk about going above and beyond! Kristen truly knows her stuff. She has an amazing eye for angles, light, and location, and she guided us with confidence to make sure we got the most stunning shots. Our wedding day was over 90 degrees with intense humidity, and she powered through all our family portraits and couple shots with absolute ease—never missing a beat. She’s incredibly organized, communicative, and took the time to really get to know us, as well as our friends and family. That personal touch made a huge difference and made every photo feel even more special. Kristen is not only an incredible photographer—she’s a joy to be around. If you're looking for someone who will capture your big day beautifully and make the whole process feel effortless, hire Kristen. You won’t regret it!

Half documentary. Half editorial. Fully yours. Hi, I’m Liza, a wedding photographer based in Boston, serving couples throughout New England and beyond. With a background in fashion photography, I blend candid storytelling with timeless, editorial-inspired imagery. My goal is to capture your day as it naturally unfolds while creating photographs that feel authentic, timeless, and true to you. Years from now, I want your photographs to do more than show you how your wedding looked—I want them to bring you back to exactly how it felt.

Awarded Best of Zola
Liza Lavine Photography was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. Their communication throughout the process was prompt, clear and friendly, putting us at ease every step of the way. The quality of their work was exceptional - the price was worth every penny, as we felt we received complete value for the results. Liza and her team made us feel very comfortable, even for someone like myself who is not usually at ease in front of the camera. The engagement shoot they did with us beforehand made the day of the wedding that much better, as we were already accustomed to their style and approach. Liza works exceptionally well with people who are not naturally comfortable in front of the camera, and she has an incredible eye for detail that really shines through in the final photos. We could not be happier with our decision to hire Liza Lavine Photography for our special day.

I think you might be here because you're a little turned off by performative wedding photography. Maybe you don't even want a wedding photographer, exactly. Maybe you just want a good photographer to photograph your wedding. A lot of the people I work with describe themselves as anti-bride. Not anti-wedding. They just don't want the day to feel like a list of things to get through.

My fiancé and I had Madison do our engagement photos in Brooklyn and we are THRILLED!!! Madison is so creative and gave us such good direction, made us feel comfortable, and had us laughing and smiling the entire time. We’ll absolutely be booking Madison again if we need professional photos in the future.

  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $6,500

Isles of Ivory is a husband-and-wife wedding photography and filmmaking team based in Newport, Rhode Island, serving couples throughout New England and beyond. Our approach blends refined editorial imagery with honest, documentary storytelling—creating photographs that feel elevated and intentional without losing the emotion and spontaneity of the day. We believe the best wedding photographs come from a balance of thoughtful direction and knowing when to simply let a moment unfold. From quiet, unscripted exchanges to beautifully composed portraits, we create imagery that feels timeless, sophisticated, and distinctly personal.

We hired Jackie and Drew for our wedding and truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We chose Collection 3, but they were incredibly flexible and helped us tailor the package with add-ons that made the most sense for our day. They genuinely worked with us to customize everything — and their pricing felt super reasonable compared to other quotes I saw in the area. You get so much for what you’re spending. From the start, they were collaborative and professional. The planning call was especially helpful — they worked with our coordinator to walk through the weekend and offered thoughtful recommendations for coverage based on the flow of events. It made the day feel effortless. On the day itself, Jackie, Drew, and their fantastic team were absolutely wonderful. Somehow, on what felt like the fastest day of our lives, they managed to slow time down and get every shot without ever making us feel rushed. We got to take photos all over, and it never felt chaotic. Their attitude and energy were unmatched. We held our ceremony outdoors in January — in Massachusetts — and it was 15 degrees. They handled it with a smile and so much grace. Every shot we wanted (and even the ones we didn’t think to ask for) was captured. They were organized, efficient, kind, and made it all feel so smooth. Something important to know: these are seasoned pros with a full calendar of weddings, so while the final results might take a bit of time, it’s never unreasonable — and so worth the wait. They’re super transparent and responsive, and any time I had a question about timelines, they were clear and helpful. Communication was excellent. The final photos and video were everything we dreamed of. The style, tone, and quality were exactly what we had discussed, and I was honestly blown away. I would recommend Jackie and Drew to anyone looking to capture their dream wedding. These are the memories we’ll look back on forever — and I’m so grateful we had them to document it.

I am a wedding photographer from Southeast New England. My love for photography goes back over 15 years and has been intertwined in my creative process ever since. I shot my first wedding 8 years ago and never looked back. I am passionate about capturing the most intimate and special day you will share. With over 150 weddings under my belt, I bring not only top-notch professionalism but a wide array of experience as a wedding photographer.

Colton is hands down the best photographer and we couldn't be luckier to have had him capture our wedding! We cannot recommend him enough! From wedding planning to the big day, Colton was a joy to work with—fantastic communication, so personable, professional, and incredibly talented. Our family and bridal party kept complimenting how friendly and amazing he was. He remembered everyone's names, which made the experience even more personalized. He made sure to capture everything on our shot list and more. We were amazed at how quickly he delivered our sneak peek photos (literally 1.5 hours after the wedding ended!!), and they are absolutely stunning!! We are so excited to see the full album! Colton truly made all of our photo dreams come true by capturing our day so beautifully. Highly, highly recommend booking Colton!!

Hedi Field Photography

Newport, RI
  • Classic style

We approach your celebration with a fashion-forward eye and a feel for perfect timing, always choosing intention over interruption. The photos we create feel elevated and effortless, capturing genuine emotion while still feeling beautifully refined.

I cannot recommend Hedi Field Photography enough and would give 100 stars if I could! If you are considering hiring her for your engagement, rehearsal dinner, or wedding please look no further. We used her for all three and could not be happier - not only did we end up with the most incredible photos that we will cherish forever, but we gained such beautiful, fun, memories working with her that will always hold a special place in our hearts. Hedi is extremely talented at capturing your love and bond with ease, and she has such a warm, kind, and infectious energy that makes you feel comfortable from your first picture with her. As a reference - we had worked with another photographer before that did not have this touch, and the photos came out very stoic and awkward as a result. Over 1000 photos from Hedi later and not one awkward one - each one was so full of life and beauty that it instantly transports you back to the moment and makes you smile! Hedi even made sure movement and life shined through the photos of the scenery and the little details that couples work so hard on, nothing went unnoticed! From our very first meeting, Hedi was incredibly organized, meticulously detail- oriented, and thoughtful. She took the time to understand our vision, ensuring that every moment we wanted to capture was prioritized, in every location, and in every outfit. She created timelines and shoot locations to coordinate with the lighting, time of day, and ease of transition to make the process less about logistics for us and more about fun! Hedi went above and beyond during our engagement session and rehearsal dinner, ensuring we got every shot (for the engagement this consisted of 4 outfits and 3 shooting locations later, and for the rehearsal it meant being extra flexible to the large family demands with a high guest count that all wanted pictures ). Hedi has a warm and approachable demeanor, but she knows how to maintain authority amongst what can be crazy family dynamics, keep on track, and expertly adhere to deadlines, ensuring everything ran smoothly, which was especially important and crucial on our wedding day. Beyond her incredible photography talent, Hedi helped take on extra responsibilities that eased the burden on our bridal party, family, and planner. Everyone at our event loved her personality, enthusiasm, and complimented her amazing work ethic and professionalism. Hedi did absolutely everything in her power to make our day as special as possible, and we are so honored and grateful to have had her as our photographer. After the wedding, Hedi delivered sneak peals on just a couple of days, and our full gallery within 2 months. She even went outside the scope of the contract and checked in with me on editing and preferences (she has the most incredible light and airy editing style that makes every pho look like the cover of Vogue) to make sure everything was perfect. We love you Hedi and cannot thank you or recommended you enough!

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!

    Hi! I'm Meg! I LOVE what I do, and I enjoy sharing my vision with everyone! I got my first camera from a Kelloggs Corn Flakes mail in off the box when I was in the 3rd Grade and ever since then I've been HOOKED! Since I began photographing on Film, and learning the TRUE Process of Color Printing and Processing in a dark room, I have become a nit-pic for portraying the truth in a photograph. It's a blessing to be surrounded by so many Amazing people! I wouldn't be here today without the love and support of my Family, Friends & clients who are all over the globe. I am truly one of the luckiest gals around!

    Meg was INCREDIBLE as our photographer for our October wedding in the Berkshires. She is so easy to work with, especially my husband who doesn’t typically like being photographed. She made us both feel so at ease, gave clear instructions for poses, and made everything feel really natural. We had large wedding parties and large families, and she was awesome at wrangling everyone. We are so excited to see how everything turns out!! Thanks, Meg!

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.

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.

    I truly cannot say enough about our experience working with Nicole for our wedding!! From start to finish, she was professional, kind, and just incredibly talented. She made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera which was one of our main concerns, and this really showed in the photos. Nicole made the whole process so easy and enjoyable. She really helped us with planning out our timeline and making sure we had time to actually enjoy our day, not just pose for photos. Her attention to detail and calming presence made everything run so smoothly. She blended in seamlessly to the day, but was also there to direct and assert herself when we needed her to without even having to ask. We had multiple family members and friends compliment how well she directed the day and how she made everyone feel so comfortable! Getting our photos back was so exciting and seeing how they came out made us feel so overjoyed and just allowed us to relive all the feelings of that day over and over again. We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer to capture our wedding day. She’s amazing, and we’ll cherish these photos forever!!

    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!

    From our first meeting with Meaghan and Evan, we clicked right away on a friend level, and knew they were the right photographers to capture the day in a way that felt authentic, joyful, and totally us—expansive relationship lore and inside jokes included! My partner and I have been together for a long time before getting married, and didn’t want an over-produced ceremony or ritual that we didn’t really identify with to define our relationship, or to put so much pressure on a single day and forget to enjoy it. Working with Meaghan made the process of planning our day so seamless. She helped us plan a timeline and gave us a sense of how long different parts of the day would take, but there was still room for spontaneity. I was even late for the ceremony and stressing until I got out of my car and Meaghan was a calm, reassuring presence, directing me where to go for the first-look, but also giving me the option to choose another spot if I wanted. All day, we never felt rushed or like we couldn’t take a beat to recenter anytime we needed it. The photos couldn’t have represented the mood of the day, and our personalities, any better. All the little details we talked about ahead of time, or that just came up organically during the day (like a cute frog in the pond at the ceremony venue!) were part of the gallery, and incorporated so organically in the background of the photos showing our friends and families having fun together. For our “reception” after-party, our main goal was to show our out-of-town friends and family a good time in our neighborhood in Providence at Kimi’s, and it’s clear from the photos that we succeeded! It was so fun to relive the day through the photos and see scenes from the night that we missed or almost forgot about. Not to mention, the whole day was just beautifully shot, both in film and digital photos. We aren’t the type of people to have lots of pictures of us hanging on the wall, but these feel worthy of being printed and framed! Meaghan and Evan are true artists. We picked a ceremony venue (the pollinator garden at the Audubon Center in Bristol) that we love for its scenery, and each photo captures the understated natural beauty of the garden, boardwalk path, and meadow with thoughtful composition and timing, from the handful of posed group shots to the more in-the-moment candid ones. Between the ceremony and the party, we snuck away to take a walk along the boardwalk–where we often go to see the ospreys and other wildlife–which produced some of my favorite photos (totally relaxed and gorgeous), and it was one of the most memorable parts of the day because we could pause and take it all in–and spend time with Meaghan and Evan! We were also so glad we sprung for the Instax guest book package! Our guests filled the book with instant photos and doodles–it was so fun to look through it the next morning, and now we have the camera to keep, so we can keep taking silly pics at home and bring it on vacation! Meaghan picked out the cutest stickers to go with it, too.

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.

From New England weddings to destination celebrations, I approach every session with curiosity and care — listening to what matters most to you and creating a comfortable environment where your true selves come through.

    Tim did an absolutely phenomenal job with both the photography and videography for our wedding days. He captured every emotion, detail, and special moment so beautifully from candid interactions to the big highlights. Tim was professional, calm, and a joy to work with, which made us feel completely at ease throughout the events. The final photos and videos exceeded our expectations and truly allow us to relive our wedding days. We are incredibly grateful for his work and highly recommend Tim to anyone looking for exceptional wedding photography and videography

    Lover of those in-betweens, laughter, and timeless moments. I’m here for it all! Let me help you capture them! Whenever you look back at your images I want you to remember the experience – the way he almost dropped you in that one photo because you were laughing that hard – or the time they gave you rapid-fire kisses up the side of your cheek. Basically – let me third wheel you and capture all the love you have for each other.

    If you’re looking for a photographer look no more. Tati is the one for you! She took our engagement photos and brought my vision to life. Communication is a 10/10, responds almost immediately and is such a nice person. She created a folder solely for our session, and used the inspo pics to pose us and really get the essence of our vibe. Super cool person to work with. Very friendly, and very professional. As for the turn around time, we received a few of our save the date pictures the day after!! Super fast compared to other photographers. Also included some drone pictures, which were some of the best shots. I definitely recommend to anyone. If I wasn’t having a destination wedding, Tati would be my photographer. Highly suggest booking this vendor.

    My name is Shelby Simone and I hope to get to know you as we come together for your family's big moments. I am a mom of 3 based in Rhode Island. I photograph weddings and family sessions throughout New England but travel nationally and internationally. I love what photography provides - memories. Photos help you remember the moment you said, "I do", those tiny newborn feet, and how much your child loved their first visit to the beach. I would be thrilled to help you and your growing family capture those moments that you will remember forever!

    Shelby has been with our family since 2019 when she shot our engagement photos. Since then she has become one of our favorite people! From our wedding, to maternity photos, newborn session and our yearly family photos, Shelby is amazing. She’s so fun to work with and always makes our sessions fun and easy! I am so thankful to have met Shelby and can’t wait to use her for years to come.

    Hi! I’m Allison, the heart behind Allison Barrett Photography. I specialize in capturing wedding-day beauty across Newport, Rhode Island and all over New England. My approach goes beyond just taking pretty pictures—I create an experience that becomes part of the memory itself. I’m there to support you through the day, help keep things running smoothly, and capture every genuine moment, laugh, and happy tear along the way. From getting ready with your crew to those just-married golden hour portraits, I’m there with a camera in one hand and a calming presence in the other. Let’s create something beautiful together.

    Allison Barrett Photography was a joy to work with on our wedding day. From the beginning, their communication was easy and straightforward, which put us at ease throughout the planning process. On our wedding day, even though it rained, Allison had a creative eye and managed the situation seamlessly to capture so many wonderful moments. We chose not to have a wedding party and she handled situations like a maid of honor. She made us feel so comfortable and ensuring we got so many great photos to cherish. The quality of their work was exceptional - we had an abundance of beautiful images to choose from that perfectly captured the unique spirit of our day. Allison Barrett Photography was a true professional partner in making our wedding day so special.

    Hi! My name is Courtney. I am the owner and lead shooter of Courtney Cohen Photography. I am based out of Barrington, RI, and love to spend time with my husband, toddler, and dog by the beaches of Rhode Island. I have a very candid approach when it comes to photography. I want to capture the raw emotion that you will remember for years and years to come. I shoot mainly outdoors with natural light but am trained with OCF (off-camera flash) for any low light or indoor locations. I strive to work with my clients not only to give them amazing pictures but also to make their lives as easy as possible. I hope that you reach out and we can chat!

    Just WOW!! If you’re looking for a highly skilled, super fun/bubbly/upbeat photographer for your wedding, look no further, Courtney is IT (and worth every penny)!! Throughout the entire process she was so easy to communicate with and really makes an effort to get to know the bride and groom. From the second she arrived at our venue she felt like a best friend/family that we’ve known forever and was just taking our wedding photos for us. We had so much fun with her throughout the day and she went above and beyond to get the best shots for us and the shots/styles we knew we wanted from the get go. I have worked with other photographers in the past and Courtney is by the best, most skilled, and people oriented photographer I’ve ever been privileged to work with/hire. I highly highly recommend Courtney; you will not be disappointed and she will make your day all that extra special!

    It’s truly an understatement to say that Mallory is incredible. From our engagement session to our wedding day just one week ago, she showed up consistently and delivered a stunning final product every single time. She left our reception around 9:30 PM (as planned) and somehow had preview photos sent to us by 5:30 AM the next morning — she literally pulled an all-nighter to get them to us! Beyond her talent, Mallory has the absolute best energy. She’s warm, positive, and instantly makes you feel comfortable and at ease. While we’re not overly awkward in front of the camera, we still needed some direction, and she guided us perfectly while keeping everything fun, natural, and lighthearted. I’m officially a lifelong Mallory’s Gallery customer and will absolutely be booking her again for future milestone moments. We love Mallory so much!!!!
