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 capturing our wedding day. Rafael was fun, outgoing, professional and talented. He is so easy to communicate with and he made the entire experience easy and enjoyable. We had sent inspiration photos prior and Rafael totally blew those out of the water. The photos and video created absolutely exceeded our expectations. Rafael had the photos back to us within just a few days - we were so impressed! He was easy to communicate with and kept in touch days before regarding planning and expectations. We are beyond grateful to have chosen JR Media Solutions and would highly recommend them to any couple looking for a talented, professional, and personable photographer and videographer.

Hi, it's Jenni, I am a couples and wedding photographer based in Connecticut. I love hikes and adventures, nature is my natural habitat and my biggest dream is to travel the world. I am hopeless romantic and I will probably shed a tear at every wedding I attend or photograph, so if you see me wipe a tear at your wedding no you didn't lol. I am also a dog mom and I love animals in general, my puppy means the world to me! I am a dedicated, passionate, fun and caring person and I put love in everything I do. I can't wait to work with you!

Awarded Best of Zola
Jenni is an absolute gem of a human and a phenomenal photographer. She is so sweet and such a lovely personality. We first worked with Jenni to take our engagement photos, and my husband and I immediately felt comfortable and familiar with her. We are not comfortable in front of the camera at all, but Jenni somehow made us feel like we'd been taking photos together with her for years. After our engagement shoot, I knew Jenni needed to be our wedding photographer. We more or less picked our wedding date based on her availability! A few weeks after booking our wedding with Jenni, she sent us the loveliest care package with a typewriter-written note and a few goodies. She puts so much thought and care into everything she does! On the day of the wedding, Jenni immediately hopped into action. She was patient, kind, and had such confidence in what she was doing (which was so needed, considering you're dealing with not just us as the couple, but our families as well). We were barely past the weekend after our wedding, and we already have sneak peeks! Jenni is a master! Looking at what she was able to capture is truly amazing. I usually do not like looking at photos of myself, but I can't stop looking at these pictures!! I can't believe the gallery she sent is just the sneak peeks - I can't wait to see what else she captured when we receive the full gallery in a few weeks! Jenni is truly the best at what she does. I can't recommend her enough!!

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
I'll start by saying I am SO thankful my sister in law found and hired Tim as the photographer for her wedding a few years back because since then, he's become our 'family photographer'. The second my now husband and I met Tim at their wedding, we knew without a doubt we wanted him as our photographer when we got married.. and we are so incredibly happy we did! Tim' is not only an amazing photographer who can camera-awkward couples (us) look like their shooting for a magazine, but he is all around such a genuine, awesome person who makes you feel like you're hanging out with a friend. From our engagement photos to our wedding day, Tim captured so many beautiful moments that we will cherish forever. And we can't wait till the next person in our family gets married so we can see him again :)

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 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 don't even know where to begin - Dani is simply amazing and if it were possible to give her a 10 star rating, I would. She not only captured my husband and I's intimate mountain top elopement, but her and Jed also followed us through out the rest of the day and photographed our reception that we held with family and friends. We are usually pretty awkward in front of the camera, but they made us feel so comfortable (even at 5am in the morning lol) and our photos prove it. Dani puts so much work into finding the perfect elopement locations and the most flattering lighting. My husband and I are BEYOND ecstatic with how our photos turned out - she captured who we truly are and how much love we have for each other. I can never thank them enough for how much work they put into our elopement and reception day. We are so happy to have these memories forever.

Cannot say enough of the best things about Randall, and have already recommended him to wedding guests who have asked for him! We selected Randall after reviewing dozens of different photographers, we were extremely picky and looking for someone who matched our attention to detail, but had the artistic and empathetic sense to capture the best moments. The quality and style of his images stood out from the crowd of wedding photographers. We were looking for a candid-style wedding photographer with a relaxed style that’s natural and sophisticated. Randall’s vibe aligned exactly with what we were looking for. After meeting with him a couple times over the phone, it was obvious we had found a great match, both in terms of style and personality. The connection and ease we found with Randall shows through in the final product. We are generally not seeking “cheesy photo moments” and have a tendency to strike a pose when there’s a camera. Randall knew exactly how to make us feel like we were just hanging out with a friend. We also did an engagement shoot, which at first we were doubtful about. At Randall’s suggestion, we went ahead with it. I’m so glad we did, as it was useful to practice posing and working together ahead of our wedding. We have the most beautiful and unrushed photos from that exciting time right before the big day. It’s a truly unforgettable and unique time between engagement and marriage and now we have beautiful mementos of that time. On the wedding day, the pressure was on, but no pressure seemed too great for Randall! Randall was not only our photographer, but acted as our wedding day planner and manager, directing other vendors and even the venue staff itself. I do NOT envy Randall’s job. He had to deal with all our lofty expectations, direct the other vendors and venue staff, manage the bride and groom family dynamics, deal with a wedding party that was enjoying the preparation process, and found key and natural moments with all the most important people in our lives. We recommend Randall to all our friends and family and look forward to having Randall capture the most important future moments of our life together.

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!
