Hi there! My name is Madison and I am a wedding photographer based in the beautiful seaside town of Newport, Rhode Island. Although I call Newport home, I provide my services to couples throughout the greater New England area and am always willing to travel worldwide for my clients' special days. I have always been passionate about capturing life's most special moments through my camera lens, and there's nothing quite like the magic of a wedding day. I consider it an honor and privilege to document the love story of each unique couple I work with.

Awarded Best of Zola
We were so thrilled to have Madison as our wedding photographer. From our engagement shoot to the wedding at Fort Adams, she was a total pleasure to work with. We had a little rust being in front of the camera, but one of Madison’s great skills is making you feel comfortable, natural, and helping to pose you. On top of being a pro at what she does, Madison is super down to earth and easy to be around. She also has a great sense of humor and kept us laughing throughout our shoots. Madison nailed the timing of everything on our wedding day — we got the photos we wanted without feeling rushed or missing out on time with each other or our families. She made the whole process so smooth and enjoyable. We couldn’t recommend her enough! If you want someone who’s talented, chill, and cares about making your day memorable, Madison is the one!

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.

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!!

  • 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.

Hedi was an absolute joy to work with and captured the most incredible photos of our wedding day and engagement shoot. I can’t express enough how beautiful her photos are and how magical she made us look. She talked us through every shot and was supportive and kind to two people who had never taken professional photos before. She made the whole planning process easy and stress free and we never worried about a thing because we knew she was on top of it. We could not recommend Hedi more for both your photography and videography!

Zenobia Studios 
Rating: 5.0 (4 reviews)
Newport, RI
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,600

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!

Newport, RI

    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!

    We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer/videographer duo than Ryan and Brad. From the second we met them, they took all of our anxieties away and made us feel comfortable and at ease- even though we aren’t the type of people who love being in front of the camera. Our wedding was very recent so we don’t have all of our pictures / video, but the previews we saw were absolutely amazing. Not only incredible photographers, but incredible people- they took time out of their own day to scope out the most perfect spots for breathtaking pictures. Cannot recommend Willow Photo co enough. Thanks again Ryan & Brad!

    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.

Beyond her talent, Mallory has the absolute best energy. She’s warm, positive, and instantly makes you feel comfortable and at ease.

    My passion for photography stems from my love of travel and capturing life's precious moments. There's nothing more fulfilling than preserving the most beautiful days of your life. Photos are a return ticket to moments gone. My goal is to create lasting memories that inspire and evoke emotions. I believe my purpose is the impact my work has on others. This is my 15th year, and it gets better with each passing year.

    I can't say enough about how amazing Stacy is! She has photographed all our family milestones so I knew we would be in good hands when I booked her for our wedding. She exceeded all expectations. I was blown away when I opened the sneak peek photos. I could not stop looking at them. Not only were her photography skills amazing, she was responsive, supportive and available to help all throughout the planning process and on our big day. We had some hiccups that day and I think I would have never managed to pull it off without her. She was definitely my rock. It was stressful due to a malfunction that caused some damage. She didn't even flinch. She came up with a plan on the spot and moved us forward. Thank goodness for her amazing photos! I am able to sit back, look through them and take it all in because they captured everything perfectly. Thank you for being the amazing human being that you are!
