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.

I would 1000% recommend JR media. He took out court house wedding photos and they were so beautiful. We would definetly book him again in the future. He was prompt, easy to work with, gave us directions which we loved, and made this special moment extra special. Don’t think twice about it just book. The photos were very clear. I uploaded some to Zola. I hope Zola doesn’t diminish the quality but the photos was on point and great quality camera.

Hi, I’m Jonathan Henderson, owner of Elegant Production Photography. I’m passionate about capturing real, meaningful moments that tell your story. Whether it’s your wedding day or a special event, I aim to make you feel comfortable, confident, and cared for. I offer professionally edited images, flexible pricing, and a commitment to great communication. No matter your budget, I work hard to deliver beautiful photos you’ll love and memories you’ll cherish.

Just like the title says, Jonathan and his team were nothing short of amazing! From our first meeting, I could tell that he knew what he was doing and he took it seriously. That took a lot of pressure off my husband and I. He helped us create an inspo board for poses and suggested small changes in our wedding day timeline to make things go smoother. When I tell you, his suggestions worked to a T! - I think it's because he's been around so many weddings and has seen things go well and go wrong. My wedding planner raved about him all day and that says a lot! He and his assistant arrived early, scoped out the venue/grounds and was very polite while doing their due diligence all day. I highly recommend Jonathan and Elegant Production Photography. If you're on the fence about him, let this be your sign: Hire him! You won't be disappointed.

I’m a husband, a dad, and a photographer. I love spending time with my family and cannot get enough of my kids. If I could dance and be silly with them all day long, that’s what I’d do. It could be the Frozen soundtrack or 90’s hip-hop, either will work. I’m easily lost listening to music (I use to be a battle DJ). Exploring and be adventurous are good things. I’m always thinking of the next destination and where we can go. It doesn’t have to be a big trip. It could be down a country road, driving by the horse farm, around the corner from my house. I’m a dreamer.

Awarded Best of Zola
My wife and I first met Tim to do an engagement shoot back in the fall of 2019. Having an unexpectedly long engagement and multiple wedding dates due to the pandemic, we were able to have our dream wedding weekend this past May and Tim played a massive role in not only making this happen but capturing the weekend in its entirety for us to cherish and remember. Tim was exceptionally professional in working with us during the chaos of rescheduling not once, but twice and we are so fortunate to have worked with him. He is extremely talented behind the camera and just a great guy all around -- he has the ability to truly ‘improv’ and make quick changes on the fly based on his surroundings and the changing light that he is working with, which makes for a fun, dynamic experience as opposed to very static and staged pictures. He is also just very amicable and easy to get along with, which makes the entire experience that much better. We could not be happier with how our engagement and wedding photos turned out and recommend Tim to anyone!

We're married! We have a few kids too! We're creative, quirky, lovers of inspiration. Our favorite photos are the ones that show your true selves, the ones where you are caught off guard. We love the grand and cinematic, with attention to lighting. We'll help pose you, and guide you when it's right and let you be in the moment.

I don’t even know where to begin. To put it simply, Julianna and Noah are the BEST! They literally do it all - from wedding pep talks, jokes to keep you laughing through the stress of the day, managing our rather large family for photos, keeping everything fun and enjoyable, to creating insanely beautiful and unique photos. We couldn’t have asked for a better team to work with or for more incredible photos to remember our special day. We hope to get the chance to work with them again in the future!

Growing up near cameras, flashes and lenses, my father was a photographer for a newspaper, and I loved developing photos with him in his darkroom. For the last few years, I have launched CC Garvie Photography and could not be happier--I love it ! Every new project is another exciting adventure, as I continue to develop my vision. I love capturing those precious moments, so we can look back one day and say, "wow look at that, remember when we took that photo?" That is photography to me, "preservation". And once you look back at those memories--the warm and fuzzy feelings we get in our hearts--it is priceless. Let me do that for you.

My husband and I hired Cece for our September wedding and we could not have been happier with her services and her talent! Our photos came out beautiful! She was very communicative with us, professional, and so easy to work with. Honestly, if we ever need professional pictures down the road it will be with Cece.

Hi! I'm Alyssa and I've been a professional photographer for six years now. I graduated from Hallmark Institute of Photography in 2016 and have been working at my craft ever since. I love capturing fun family moments as well as capturing that moment at a wedding where you can feel the love. I love this job and I love all my clients!

From the very first conversation, Alyssa and her team at Alyssa Michel Photography were open, always available, and included us in the entire photography process, which was so great. Their work is incredibly detailed and they are truly knowledgeable about capturing all the special moments. They got right in there to make sure every picture was perfect, and worked so efficiently that we were able to quickly get all the shots we wanted and then go enjoy our night. Alyssa and her team were amazing to work with - they became part of our wedding party, exchanging stories and having laughs with us throughout the day. I can't recommend Alyssa Michel Photography enough for their exceptional service, quality of work, and ability to truly contribute to making our wedding day so special.

Hello and thanks for stopping by! My professional career as a Connecticut wedding photographer started nearly 20 years ago after attending photography school in Vancouver. I returned home to Milford, CT in 2000, started the business, and have been capturing wedding stories ever since!

My husband and I were so lucky to have Kevin at our wedding. He is a delight to work with, came up with ideas for our portraits and was a pleasure to have around. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. We have only gotten a few photos back because we were only married 2 weeks ago, but I have no heistation in recomending him highly and without delay! He has a fresh, relaxed style. We were more interested in the "Money Shots" and candids than anything formal. Kevin did do some formal portait shots, so don't think that he won't if you want that, but we are really looking forward to our photos. He was wonderful to communicate with and could ot have been easier to work with. His prices are reasonable. You will be a lucky couple indeed if you can secure his services! Do not hesitate.

I’m a storyteller. That’s what I’m here to do - document the story of one of your greatest celebrations. My work is heavily focused on the authentic, unplanned moments. My approach is observational and real, creating images that are genuine representations of you, those you love, and the space and moments you share. I create true-to-life images that will bring you back to some of your sweetest, most treasured moments for years to come. If you’re looking for a light-hearted, boisterous creative to work with, you’ve found her. I'm people-centric which means that, I'm focusing on you, your guests, and the real moments you're sharing together.

Awarded Best of Zola
I knew we needed to book Kaitlin from the second I found her Zola profile, but it was completely solidified by our meet and greet meeting. Kaitlin is exactly as described. So personal, completely herself, open and transparent, I could go on and on. One of the biggest things that sold us with Kaitlin (besides her work) was the fact that she gave us advice on what to look for/questions to ask with other photography vendors while we were on our hunt. We had our engagement photos in October in Boothbay Harbor and we are actually located in Western Mass. I had ideas in my head about what would work and Kaitlin made the drive to check out the locations and ensure they actually would. One of my locations wasn't the best lighting wise and she gave multiple other options to get similar looks. We actually ended up doing some downtown photos which are some of my favorites (which is a little a lie because I am obsessed with all of them). I read in multiple of Kaitlin's reviews that she makes awkward people comfortable behind the camera and I am here to say it is true. I was so stressed going into things, worried my hair looked bad, we wouldn't get *the* shot, we would look weird, etc. Kaitlin immediately asked me what my worries were and I felt so at ease. Working with Kaitlin felt like working with with a lifelong friend who really has it all together and is such a professional. I truly know that our wedding day is going to be that much better knowing she is going to be there documenting it all.

I am so beyond thankful to have hired Rebecca and Ilia for our wedding photography. Throughout the whole process leading up to the day, they always made me feel calm, kept us organized, and helped add to the excitement of our day. We first met Rebecca for our engagement shoot - she braved a rainy day with us to get shots on the beach. I also had mentioned I had hoped to get a photo back in a shorter time frame to put on our wedding invitations - she ended up delivering our whole gallery early, and they were all so beautiful! The day of the wedding, they made us feel so comfortable and we had so much fun taking photos with them! Our "sneak peak" included a little taste of each part of the day, which is way more than I was expecting, and we could not be more thankful for them. I keep looking at them and just get more excited for our full gallery! Their editing style, and the moments they captured are exactly what I was hoping for with a wedding photographer.

During all the time we spent with Chelsea, she made us feel so comfortable and natural. We loved how Chelsea let us be ourselves and captured all the beautiful candid moments of us together.

We gave her some general direction of what photos we wanted and trusted that she could have fun and surprise us with the results. She more than delivered with this! Chelsea also is so impressive with her turnaround time for photos. Both our engagement shoot photos and wedding photos were returned to us so fast! Our wedding guests raved about the photos.

Wow… I don’t even know where to start, but the stars literally aligned with Dani (and Jed) from Elle & Co Photography. I found Dani while scrolling bridal Facebook groups, which can be… a lot. Trying not to assume the worst from all the horror stories. I came across her and immediately knew she was it. I sent the message and crossed my fingers. Her photos were exactly the vibe we were going for. We chose to elope near Sleeping Bear Dunes for a reason… the color of the water, the fall tones, all of it. And Mother Nature gave us the most imperfectly perfect day. Wind, sand, rain… you name it. THANKFULLY we had Dani to capture it all. The amount of time, energy, and care she put into our day (and our reception back in Indy... we booked her for both) was beyond anything we expected. Her communication was top notch. She scouted, scouted, and then scouted again. Plans, backup plans, backup backup plans… which we absolutely needed. Most importantly she kept us on. time! We literally showed up to our ceremony spot and got hit with a “nope, not today” thanks to a government shutdown… even though we had permits and confirmations. But Dani already had her little hidden gem location ready to go, and it ended up being incredible. Like… better than what we had originally planned. And let’s talk about the conditions… late October on Lake Michigan, 25 mph winds, sand flying everywhere, and easily 10,000 steps trekking through dunes to chase the best views. Dani was everywhere at once making sure we got every shot. And Jed… running through sand like he trained for this moment. The two of them together are the dream team. Whatever it takes, they make it happen. They didn’t miss a single moment. From travel time to the ceremony, to the little in-between shots… even getting the perfect fall leaves shot with the Sleeping Bear Dunes sign (yes, it took a plenty of tries and yes, it was worth it). Champagne, lanterns, sparklers back at the domes… they captured all of it. And gave us just enough direction so we looked our best without ever feeling staged. And even after all of that, Dani went back and edited like crazy to balance out the fact that while we "looked fine"… we were most definitely freezing. The final photos are unreal. Our day was made by friends, family, and chosen family… and we’re so happy to add Dani and Jed to that circle. #PhotosToFriends for life!

It's been 15 years running this small business as a Boston wedding photographer, a New England wedding photographer, working all around the greater Boston area and traveling to destination weddings as well. It's been a crazy ride so far, and I can honestly say I still love what I do! I am so grateful that 400+ wedding couples have trusted me to be a part of their weddings, to document one of the milestone days in their lives, and to create beautiful heirloom albums and artwork they can enjoy for a lifetime. Ultimately, that's what it's all about, serving my clients and creating an amazing experience.

Awarded Best of Zola
My husband and I hired Randall to serve as our photographer for our wedding last summer. In short, Randall did a wonderful job. From the first call he was very kind and relaxed, which we really appreciated given how stressful the wedding planning process can be at times. We selected his “Notting Hill” package, which we loved because it included not only wedding photography, but also an engagement photoshoot, a guestbook based on the engagement photoshoot, and a wedding photo album (with parent copies). The engagement photoshoot came out beautifully; we tried to time it to coincide with the foliage peaking, and Randall was extremely patient and flexible with us as we tried to plan for and work around the unpredictable Boston fall weather. The engagement photoshoot itself also came out great; even though neither my husband nor I had experience getting our picture taken in this type of setting, Randall made us feel very comfortable and had excellent ideas to take advantage of the scenery. We loved the photos so much we had trouble choosing which to use for our save the date cards. During the weeks leading up to the wedding, Randall was very organized and responsive, and stayed in close touch with us to discuss different logistics and plans related to coordinating with the videographers, timing, portraits with family members, and sunset photos, etc. On the wedding day itself, Randall kept us very calm and relaxed throughout the day, worked seamlessly with the videographers, and also took many amazing photographs that made great use of the colors and light, showed his impressive creative vision, and beautifully captured every part of the day. We were so delighted to see all the photographs a few months after the wedding, and to later work with Randall on a photo album which provides a tangible pictorial summary of our day (in fact, we also had trouble choosing what should go into the album because there were also so many great pictures to choose from). Finally, in addition to our wedding reception last summer, Randall also served as a photographer for our legal city hall wedding last winter, and similarly did an excellent job with that too. In short, we had a terrific experience working with Randall and feel very lucky to have been able to work with him as our wedding photographer.

Hey there, I'm Jordany Almonte, but you can call me "Jordan" – a friendly guy based in the state of New Jersey with a passion for life and a big heart for family. I take immense pride in being a devoted husband and a proud father; they are the driving force behind everything I do. To me, photography is more than just capturing images; it's a way of feeling, touching, and loving the world around me. What I capture in the film holds the essence of the moment, preserving memories that we can cherish forever. Those little things, often overlooked, can bring floods of emotions long after our other memories have faded.

We had such a great experience working with Jordany for our wedding! From the very beginning, he was professional, kind, and clearly passionate about what he does. On the day of the wedding, he made us feel completely at ease, blending in seamlessly and capturing everything so naturally. The final photos are absolutely beautiful — emotional, artistic, and full of the small, meaningful moments we’ll treasure forever. He truly has a gift for storytelling through his lens. We’re so grateful for his work and would highly recommend Jordany to anyone looking for a talented and thoughtful photographer who brings both skill and heart to such a special day.

When my husband and I started wedding planning, we know that having the best photographer we could find was our priority. He’s from The Netherlands, we both come from massive families and have massive groups of close friends, and we knew this was the only day maybe ever that we would have such large parts of our families and friend groups in the same room. We wanted to capture that to keep. After weeks of looking, we fell totally in love with Natalia's photography after finding her on Instagram. She was such a joy to work with. She and her amazing second shooter herded our massive 21 person bridal party and our families into getting beautiful pictures that we'll treasure forever, she made my husband and I feel comfortable in front of the camera (we're both so awkward, that alone is an incredible feat). Unfortunately for our vendors, we planned our wedding ourselves and we were bad at it (don’t worry, it was a beautiful and perfect day, but we are very much not gonna be quitting our jobs to be event planners anytime soon). Natalia was so patient with all of our questions, she made sure the day ran smoothly through all of the hiccups and little scheduling issues, and kept the vibes amazing all day. Seriously, stop looking and hire Natalia. From one bride to another, it is the best piece of advice I can give you!
