Kristen is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING, we cannot recommend her enough! From the first phone wedding consultation phone call we knew she was the one for us - she was SO down to earth & easy to communicate with throughout the entire process, we didn’t even meet with any other photographers after talking with her. We loved her so much when meeting her for our engagement photos that we had her also photograph our daughter’s 1st birthday a few months before our wedding. She was the perfect addition to our wedding day - her meticulous planning, calm but energetic demeanor, and continuous assurance made us feel so comfortable and you could feel the genuine excitement she felt capturing the special moments! We told her at the end of the night she will definitely be seeing us again to capture any/all future milestones and memories. Thank you for everything Kristen!!

Hi, I’m Nicole (she/her) - a Rhode Island-based wedding photographer.

Tired of not seeing yourselves represented in the wedding industry? Welcome to the RTP fam - we're a husband and wife duo shooting a combination of digital, film and Polaroid photos so that your gallery will deliver all the vibes and capture your sick, nontraditional love. And because of all the time we'll spend together getting to know you and crafting the perfect photo timeline for your day, you'll feel like we're just your two best friends there to capture the moments. No matter your size, race, gender, sexual orientation or religion, we're here to hype you up as you share all your wildest wedding ideas with us!

Rhode Tripper Photography was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. Meagan and Evan were awesome to work with- super supportive, fun, and really helped keep us calm. Meagan knows the wedding world inside and out and gave us such good advice along the way. She even taught me how to bustle my dress when I was fumbling with it, and they brought AMAZING energy to the dance floor / party that I am sure contributed to all the great shots they got. In full transparency, their price point was a little above what we had budgeted for photography, but in this case "you get what you pay for" came true. If you are on the fence about spending the money, it is so worth it- we'd make the same choice again in a second. They are worth every penny; the photos are gorgeous and capture everything from the big moments to the little ones we didn't even realize were happening. We couldn't be happier.

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. She curated a family shot list, and let me tell you, she did not disappoint. Her and her team were amazing.

I think you might be here because you're a little turned off by performative wedding photography. Maybe you don't even want a wedding photographer, exactly. Maybe you just want a good photographer to photograph your wedding. A lot of the people I work with describe themselves as anti-bride. Not anti-wedding. They just don't want the day to feel like a list of things to get through.

Awarded Best of Zola
Madison was an incredible photographer for our wedding day at Nicollet Island Pavilion! She was efficient, fun, laid-back, and helped us feel comfortable super quickly which made us feel at ease throughout the entire process. Her work is truly top-tier - she has an incredible vision and unique style that captured all the special moments of our wedding. She was so energetic and encouraging, which helped us feel less stiff and more natural in front of the camera (which does not come easily to us!). Madison also came prepared with our Pinterest board and shot list, ensuring she got all the specific pictures we wanted while adding her own spin on them. Her editing of the wedding shots were better than I could have imagined - I specifically loved the blurry shots that were mixed in. We cannot recommend Madison enough - she was an integral part of making our wedding day so special and memorable.

Isles of Ivory is a husband-and-wife wedding photography and filmmaking team based in Newport, Rhode Island, serving couples throughout New England and beyond. Our approach blends refined editorial imagery with honest, documentary storytelling—creating photographs that feel elevated and intentional without losing the emotion and spontaneity of the day. We believe the best wedding photographs come from a balance of thoughtful direction and knowing when to simply let a moment unfold. From quiet, unscripted exchanges to beautifully composed portraits, we create imagery that feels timeless, sophisticated, and distinctly personal.

We hired Jackie and Drew for our wedding and truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We chose Collection 3, but they were incredibly flexible and helped us tailor the package with add-ons that made the most sense for our day. They genuinely worked with us to customize everything — and their pricing felt super reasonable compared to other quotes I saw in the area. You get so much for what you’re spending. From the start, they were collaborative and professional. The planning call was especially helpful — they worked with our coordinator to walk through the weekend and offered thoughtful recommendations for coverage based on the flow of events. It made the day feel effortless. On the day itself, Jackie, Drew, and their fantastic team were absolutely wonderful. Somehow, on what felt like the fastest day of our lives, they managed to slow time down and get every shot without ever making us feel rushed. We got to take photos all over, and it never felt chaotic. Their attitude and energy were unmatched. We held our ceremony outdoors in January — in Massachusetts — and it was 15 degrees. They handled it with a smile and so much grace. Every shot we wanted (and even the ones we didn’t think to ask for) was captured. They were organized, efficient, kind, and made it all feel so smooth. Something important to know: these are seasoned pros with a full calendar of weddings, so while the final results might take a bit of time, it’s never unreasonable — and so worth the wait. They’re super transparent and responsive, and any time I had a question about timelines, they were clear and helpful. Communication was excellent. The final photos and video were everything we dreamed of. The style, tone, and quality were exactly what we had discussed, and I was honestly blown away. I would recommend Jackie and Drew to anyone looking to capture their dream wedding. These are the memories we’ll look back on forever — and I’m so grateful we had them to document it.

Awarded Best of Zola
One of the best decisions we made was hiring Mallory. We are "so-so" with the camera (not entirely shy but also "what do I do with my hands"- kind of people). Mallory was awesome to show some styles that she was thinking of and looked at some inspiration photos that we picked out (this was done way before engagement shoot and before our wedding day). She made our engagement session super relaxed and fun - her ability to capture "moments" of our relationship left us in awe. She would let us do our thing and then gently guide/direct us, which was exactly what we needed (some guidance with no "stiff" or "don't move" photos). Fast forward to wedding planning, we shared a brief list of "mandatory family photos" and she created a timeline (with our wedding coordinator's timeline) and we gave her full reign on creativity! Again, she excelled! She captured some beautiful moments and looking back - we could FEEL and remember those moments she captured. We are forever in awe of her talent and ability to capture our day. During our wedding day, we unfortunately had a nor'easter come through (some would say good luck) - so lots of rain. Mallory was beyond prepared. She brought us umbrellas (I had also gotten some) and she was quick to make changes as needed. We received SO many compliments on Mallory's work and how well she worked with our other vendors. Additionally, I appreciate that she never "stopped" our day - as in, interrupt what was happening to get a particular photo. Rather, she flowed with our wedding planner and found opportunities to capture literally so many beautiful moments! I'm so happy we trusted her because she saw things that we couldn't and we are forever grateful for that. I cannot recommend her enough!! She gained clients for life :)

We felt very comfortable working with them. They gave direction when needed, helped us get every photo on our wish list while also captured lots of great candid moments. Despite a last minute change in plans for first look, family photos and our ceremony due to heavy rain, they helped find new locations and the photos came out better than we could have expected. Thank you Lisa, Amanda and Crissy for helping capture our special day!

Lafleur Photos is owned and operated by me, Keith Lafleur. As a photographer, I started in wildlife and landscapes and slowly made my way into portraits and weddings, which are now the main part of what I do. I incorporate the skills and techniques from my wide background into everything I photograph, making for a more unique style that is always evolving. With a photojournalistic approach, I capture the real emotions and interactions of the day, so you can go back and relive your day as it was through photographs. I am a huge supporter of printed works, so all packages include a print credit so you can hang your memories in your home.

We LOVED working with Keith! He was exactly the photographer that we needed - he got our sense of humor and understood us as a couple, seamlessly moved through the ceremony, reception, and party, and delivered beautiful photos that captured so many of the candid special moments throughout the night. We had a 50 guest wedding, and we really wanted a photo of all of our guests - we are so happy that Keith made this happen! His work is professional, beautiful, and timely (we were surprised how quickly we got our photos!). Thank you, Keith, and we are excited that you also do lifestyle photos - cannot wait to work with you again for other moments in our life!

Hello! I'm Brenden, and my passion for photography began with a film camera from my Aunt in Japan. I spent nearly a decade in fashion photography, capturing style and elegance before transitioning to weddings. This vibrant field allows me to meet amazing people and capture their unique stories. Featured in magazines and awarded in Hong Kong, I continuously strive to enhance my skills. As a father of six, I cherish photography's power to connect us with our past. At Luminist Photography, I'm dedicated to capturing your love story with creativity and care.

Choosing the right wedding photographer is a big decision. You want someone who can not only capture the stunning details and magical moments, but also someone who you feel comfortable with and who understands your vision. We hit the jackpot with Brenden! We first had the pleasure of working with Brenden at our engagement shoot, and we knew right away that he was something special. He's not just a talented photographer with an eye for light and composition; he's also a genuinely warm and kind person who puts you at ease instantly. He took the time to get to know us as a couple, understand what we were hoping for in our wedding photos, and offered suggestions we hadn't even considered. On the wedding day, Brenden was a calming presence amidst the whirlwind of emotions. He expertly navigated the chaos, capturing everything from the moments of beautiful bride getting ready (which I of course didn't get to see) to the raucous dance floor without ever being intrusive. He even managed to wrangle our (sometimes camera-shy) family and friends into some truly heartwarming shots. But the real magic happened when we saw the final photos. Brenden's talent is undeniable. He somehow managed to capture the raw emotion, the unadulterated joy, and the tiny, precious details that made our wedding day so perfect. We laughed, we cried, and we relived every moment all over again through his lens. Brenden isn't just a photographer; he's a storyteller. He tells the story of your love, your commitment, and the sheer joy of celebrating with the people you love most. He's the kind of photographer who becomes part of the celebration, someone you'll remember fondly long after the cake is eaten and the dancing shoes are hung up. If you're looking for a wedding photographer who will not only deliver stunning photos but also create an unforgettable experience, look no further than Brenden. He's more than just a vendor; he's an investment in memories that will last a lifetime.

Tracy is an amazing photographer that gave us exactly what we wanted when it came to our wedding photos. She is very personable and put us at ease with our engagement shoot. We enjoyed working with her and we couldn’t have asked for a better representation of our beautiful wedding day. We will be recommending her to anyone we hear needs a photographer from now on.

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!
