Hey there! My name is Emma, a wedding, portrait, and equine photographer, originally from Northeast Connecticut, now living in central Rhode Island. Throughout my variety of experiences in life, I have had the privilege to realize the power of communication and the importance of surrounding yourself with the things that make you most happy. I hope that I can use my photographic skill to help capture your personal connections, love story, and memories through images that will last a lifetime. I am always a friendly face, please feel free to reach out at any time!

Ben & I cannot thank Emma Guillot Photography enough for all she has done for our weddings. She photographed our church wedding and knew exactly how much all the small, fine details meant to us on that day. She perfected moving in and out of pews so much so that no one even noticed she was there! At our second wedding which was much larger and at a different location she knew all the ins and outs of our families and how we wanted photos taken. She lead the charge in taking photos I never would have thought of taking on such a stressful day! Emma is beyond professional. Her calming demeanor really helped in keeping things stress free for us! We are beyond blessed to have had her with us on one of the biggest moments of our lives and now we have photos that will last a lifetime and be timeless! If you’re looking for a photographer that goes the extra mile, loves what she does and truly cares about what you want - then this is your girl! We would choose her again and again! Thank you, Emma! Words cannot fully describe how incredibly thankful we are to have had you with us. I can’t stop looking at all the photos.

Hi! I’m Ashley Marinelli, a professional dancer who originally started making films after performing in movies and music videos. My father always encouraged me to pursue my passion for film, and when he passed in 2014, I started Marinelli Moving Pictures, a video production company with his name (and mine) on the masthead. A decade later, what started as a side jobs between dance gigs has turned into a full fledged business. Turns out I'm even happier behind the camera than in front of it!

Marinelli Moving Pictures was amazing to work with for our wedding video. Their communication throughout the process was great - Ashley was friendly, responsive, and really listened to our vision for the final product. The quality of their work was wonderful as well. They captured all the special moments and put together a video that we absolutely love watching. We were thrilled with the final result and would highly recommend Marinelli Moving Pictures to any couple looking for a talented videography team to document their wedding. We loved working with Ashley and would love to work with her again in the future.

I have a photojournalistic style and edit true to life with vibrant color. I capture the best moments in an unobtrusive way. A few more of my favorite things are hiking with our crazy rescue dogs, traveling with my family, making art with my daughter, and doing anything near or on the ocean (hence my business name!)

Sail Away Photography Inc. was an incredible choice for our surprise NYE wedding. Lynne was extremely helpful, organized and efficient. The quality of her work was classic, and bright and she was amazingly creative when it came to locations. Having Lynne be a part of our big day was so special - it was like having a family member there, she was so relaxed and in turn made me, my husband, and step daughter feel the same.

A hopeless romantic and people person, I found my true passion when working in the bridal industry. I love getting to meet excited brides, connecting with them to learn about their vision, how they dreamed of the perfect wedding so I can bring that to life! Being able to give them the gift of confidence on their wedding day is truly a special part of my job. Building a friendship is a by-product, and I have become friends with so many of my brides, staying connected years after the wedding, and even glamming them up for other big milestones of their journey, like maternity pictures and baby showers!

Juliana is the absolute best. From our initial call - I knew she was the one I wanted. She was one of the first vendors you are with in the morning, and she brought the smiles, the love, and made all of the girls feel comfortable, and most importantly, the most beautiful. I have never had my makeup done so beautifully. It lasted all day / all night, and I felt and looked the most stunning I ever had in my life. She's truly a gem and is worth every cent!

We first met Morayo when we used her as our engagement photographer, she worked with us to adapt and find a new site (twice) when the weather kept ruining our plans. Morayo met us close to our home and did a beautiful rose garden shoot with us. Then when the pandemic hit she was reassuring and flexible throughout our ever changing planning process. While we had to cancel our reception and had a smaller ceremony instead, Morayo was still able to capture our getting ready photos, ceremony and formal photos perfectly. Morayo was so fun to work with and really helped us relax in front of the camera. We loved working with Morayo and would recommend her to anyone planning a wedding, especially in these crazy times!

Awarded Best of Zola
Nina is not what you'd expect of a wedding planner - she is so much more. Besides the fact that she has impeccable taste, an easygoing hat about her, expert knowledge and tons of vendor relations, she made me feel from the first day of hiring her through the moments when the wedding was over and I was sharing photos, that everything would be perfect. Like a coach, she put a few of my expectations, all of my anxiety and some of my to-do list in check, but did so with such professionalism and calmness, that I feel in hindsight her fee was more than worth it. I was apprehensive about paying a planner for something I truly believed I could do. Later than I'd like to admit, I became overwhelmed and seriously behind as the actual day neared. I was referred to Nina by my fiancé's friend [note that my fiancé was so over me planning the wedding me on my own]. I had fun on my day, I was relaxed and look like I was truly enjoying our day in ALL the photos. Adding that Nina also flew in a DJ from Miami who I was and am a fan of. I thought it would be a gazillion dollars, but it was just a little bit more than the local DJs. Her industry experience def gives her an edge and made us look super cool.

I’m a full-time wedding photographer currently based in Central Connecticut. I love traveling, Thai food, all dogs, almost every type of music, and pretty much anything related to astronomy. Talking about myself has always been a little weird for me because I love hearing about you. My couples become my friends instantly, no really – as soon as we have our first chat together it’s DONE. BFFs for life. Be prepared for creating secret handshakes, inside jokes, and a ton of memories together!

Kelsey was truly the best person to capture our wedding day, not just because of her amazing photography skills but also because of her effervescent and playful energy that truly made our day so fun. We were able to do our engagement shoot with Kelsey at our wedding venue, and she made us feel so comfortable even though neither my husband or I had much experience getting our photos taken. As soon as we saw the gorgeous photos from our engagement shoot, we knew we had made the right choice. When our wedding day finally came, Kelsey and her second shooter, Zach, were so fun to be around and made everyone in our wedding party and families feel happy and included. Every moment felt celebratory and fun, but they also made sure we stuck to our schedule and got all our key photos done! We are so so happy with how the photos came out. Kelsey captured the real emotions and the love that surrounded us on our wedding day, and I can’t thank her enough for the gift of being able to look back on that day through her photographs.

Hi, I'm Kate! I am a full time photographer based in RI. I photograph hybrid 35mm film and digital portraits. I travel throughout New England and love working with fun, adventurous couples. Most of my work has a very natural feel to it. I capture moments, making for a very lighthearted, low stress day. I am a roll-with-the-punches sort of person, which comes in handy since no wedding day ever goes totally to plan! I focus on the joy, laughter, gratitude and everything in between! We’ll probably go adventuring a bit to get some really cool shots. We will definitely laugh a lot. Sound good? Check out my portfolio or get in touch to chat more!

If you’re considering booking Polar Square Designs, just do it! Kate was so responsive, professional, helpful and flexible. Neither my husband nor I love having our photos taken (especially in public) but Kate made us feel totally comfortable on our engagement shoot at the beach and we ended up with some incredible shots. The turnaround time to get our whole gallery back was so quick. Leading up to our wedding, Kate’s questionnaire helped us nail down what shots we really wanted and the timeline she came up with was very helpful! On our wedding day, Kate and the second shooter Allison worked together so well and made sure we got all the shots we wanted! Everything flowed perfect and they did an amazing job capturing our best day ever! We received a bunch of “sneak peek” images less than 24 hours after our wedding and they’re all so good! Kate’s creativity and skill are evident in the results. I highly recommend Polar Square Designs!

At Bookmarked Weddings, we plan weddings with heart, hustle, and a sprinkle of magic. Based in New England, we specialize in creating celebrations that feel like you—bold, joyful, personal, and beautifully organized. Whether you’re dreaming up a backyard bash or a ballroom soirée, we bring the calm to the chaos, the strategy to the sparkle, and the experience to make it all happen seamlessly. From full-service planning to wedding management, we’re here to guide you, cheer you on, and handle the details so you can stay present and party hard.

As a wedding photographer, I work with a wide range of planners, but Tanya from Bookmarked Weddings truly stands out. Our most recent wedding together was a 2025 New Year’s Eve wedding, and it was clear from the start that this wasn’t just another event—it was a fully immersive experience, thanks in large part to Tanya’s vision and execution. The day was filled with intricate details: a balldrop at midnight filled with bubbles, an elegant champagne tower, and a timeline packed with special moments and intentional design. Tanya handled it all with a calm, confident presence and exceptional attention to detail. She built a full-day timeline that was both comprehensive AND realistic—which meant everything ran smoothly, and I was able to capture the day naturally without unnecessary stress or delays. Tanya’s coordination behind the scenes allowed the couple to stay present and enjoy every moment while ensuring that vendors like myself had exactly what we needed to do our jobs well. Her thoughtful approach and clear communication made a huge difference throughout the day. The energy of a New Year’s Eve wedding is already electric, but Tanya elevated it with a sense of elegance, organization, and creativity that made the whole celebration feel effortless and magical. If you're looking for a planner who can manage complex, high-energy events with grace, precision, and style, Tanya from Bookmarked Weddings is it. Every time I know we are going to work together, I fist pump the air in celebration because it will be FLAWLESS! — Cait Fletcher Cait Fletcher Photography
