“DJ Rubin and David W. were both amazing! David was very accommodating and has a vision in capturing what he wants. The package was reasonable and it was beyond everything we expected and more. DJ Rubin was praised by not just us but by all the family there for being engaging and being able to blend both old classics with new modern Pop music along with EDM and a little bit of DnB near the end of the night. As a fellow raver, he understood what we wanted and was very thoughtful in his song selection. He was also teaching people how to dance on the dance floor to keep the crowd engaged, participating and enjoying themselves. I wouldn't be surprised if our family wants to hire him and his team in future events because of how unforgettable the reception was for our wedding.

“Modern Strings trio played at my wedding on June 28, 2024 - they were absolutely magnificent!! From the second I booked my venue, I knew the very first vendor I had to book was Modern Strings. I had followed Modern Strings for some time and knew it was the most important vendor for me to have! Modern Strings played for my ceremony as well as cocktail hour. They set the stage for an emotional, elegant ceremony; then followed by a beautiful upbeat cocktail hour. Our guests were floored by the modern music played on string instruments.

The granddaughter of two gardeners, I have always felt a connection to the earth through the soil. When someone brings flowers into a room, something changes...an energy, an excitement! I love being able to bring that kind of beauty into peoples lives. I'm a small-town girl who enjoys anything that involves working with my hands from cooking to knitting. I'm a total animal lover (partial to dogs), a die-hard Grey's Anatomy fan, and I take my martinis extra dirty. When I'm not flowering in our studio in Milford, Connecticut, I'm mommin' to three amazing little boys (our dog Pippa and cat, Galaxy).

  • Serves North Branford, CT

I am a Connecticut-based wedding and portrait photographer obsessed with candid moments, real emotion, and the connections between human beings. I strive to capture life as we actually live it: full of beauty and roughness, joy and struggle, extravagance and simplicity. When I photograph you, I’m not thinking about getting likes on social media. I’m thinking about what will make your heart grow three times its size. I’m thinking about what will make you ugly-cry, looking back. I’m thinking about you seeing how awesome and truly loved you are.

Awarded Best of Zola
“Cate was an absolute dream to work with! She captured both our elopement wedding (10 guests at a beachside Airbnb in East Haven in early September) and a 1-hour couples’ photoshoot (early morning at the Yale campus in mid-October 2024). We couldn't have asked for a better experience! Her incredible skill, warm demeanor, and attention to detail truly set her apart. We spoke with many prospective photographers before deciding, but we just couldn’t look away from working with Cate after going through her brilliant portfolio and speaking with her on Zoom. Cate made us feel comfortable in front of the camera. She has an amazing ability to put you at ease, making the entire process natural and fun. The photos she took are some of our absolute favorites. We love how she captured our families, wedding ceremony, and couple photos with so much emotion and authenticity! One of the standout things about Cate is how prolific she is. She took and shared a delightfully ridiculous number of photos with us—over 2–3 photos per minute! Every single shot was excellently curated and edited, showcasing her skills as both a photographer and storyteller. Cate went above and beyond, even while balancing personal challenges during her busiest season, to deliver a stunning gallery that exceeded all our expectations. She was also kind and thoughtful in all her communications with us and incredibly generous while photographing us for several minutes after our scheduled time had ended. We wholeheartedly recommend Cate to anyone looking for a wedding or portrait photographer! She is immensely talented, professional, and a joy to work with. We not only found our go-to photographer for all our future needs, but also a kind friend through this process. Thank you, Cate, for capturing the most precious moments of our lives so beautifully—we are so grateful for your skill and compassion!”

She was a caring a nurturing presence throughout, was very receptive to our requested changes as we planned the ceremony script, and was clearly motivated by doing what would be right for us. She met with me and my fiance about four times during our wedding planning process to get to know us and modify our ceremony plan/script to what spoke most to us most as a couple. She was knowledgable about a variety of cultural traditions and helped us incorporate the Irish Hand Fasting Blessing into our ceremony, providing us with an everlasting, unique memory and memento (the handfasting chord) of our promises to each other. We received several compliments from our wedding guests about Lauri's ease and professionalism while she officiated our wedding. We highly recommend her! - Tess, May 2025 Bride, Bill Miller's Castle”

They were so attentive to every detail, ensuring nothing was left unnoticed or untaken care of. The venue itself is absolutely beautiful, clean, and elegant - the perfect backdrop for our special day. The food, drinks, and service were all amazing, and our guests raved about how amazing it all was. We couldn't have asked for a better wedding experience, and we're so grateful to the Great River Golf Club team for helping to make our day truly perfect.”

I photograph fashion-forward couples who believe every detail should have meaning. If you're planning a wedding that's intentional, design-driven, and centered on genuine connection, I'm here to document it in a way that feels both beautifully curated and completely authentic. My approach blends editorial imagery with honest, documentary moments so your gallery tells the full story, not just the highlights.

“We hired Jenna for our wedding and it was a great experience. She was able to make the day filled with more laughs than awkward moments. For someone like myself who hates their picture taken she was able to get me and my wife to laugh and enjoy the photo session. Jenna was also able to make the experience personal and easy to ask her any questions. The pictures came out amazing and the turn around time was quick. Jenna made some of the most creative photos I’ve ever seen, the poses were definitely awkward at first but truly were a master piece. If you want someone who is going to enhance your day and get amazing photos/memories that will last a life time go with Jenna !”

“The venue had a few hiccups, but overall we had a lovely reception there. The outdoor space was the highlight - truly gorgeous for photos. Communication on coordination was a bit spotty at times, but the maître d', Sergio, was a god send and stepped in to ensure things flowed smoothly. The food was phenomenal, as well! So many of our guests shared it was the best wedding food they’d ever had. We did have both our bridal attendants provided by the venue disappear on us shortly after we arrived, which was inconvenient since we would have paid for our own attendants if we knew that would be the case. While parts of the indoor space is dated, it worked out beautifully with some creative decor. When weighing everything in, the Woodwinds was a spectacular venue!”

Hi, I’m Rafael, the owner and creative behind JR Media Solutions. I believe wedding days should feel calm, joyful, and fully lived not rushed or staged. While I’m new to Zola, I’ve spent years photographing and filming weddings across Connecticut and beyond, earning over 100 five-star reviews by being dependable, organized, and genuinely invested in my couples. My approach is simple: show up prepared, stay present, and document your day honestly so you can relive it for years to come.

“JR Media Solutions was the perfect choice for our wedding. Rafael captured every special moment from getting ready to dancing the night away and everything in between. Our sneak peek and wedding photos came earlier than expected and are so beautiful. We can't stop looking through them. Taking photos with each table on their way to the buffet was a brilliant idea and allowed us to get quality photos with everyone vs. photos of them sitting at their tables. Rafael was very professional, reasonably priced, a pleasure to work with, and did an excellent job behind the camera. We highly recommend him!”
