I absolutely loved our photographer team! They were able to meet this candid vision we wanted AND get the traditional wedding photos! Ben was our lead photographer and I got to work with him for most of the day. He was there for the stress, the running around and the magic of the wedding itself. All my photos came out amazing to the point where I got Ai accusations from how good they were! I couldn’t be more happy with the final outcome!

From start to finish, Willow Photo Co. was amazing to work with! My wife and I were married in 2020 with limited family present. For our 5 year anniversary we had a “re-wedding” with all our family and friends. So it was very important to us to pick the right team to capture this special day, and Willow fit perfectly! Ryan provided clear communication and explanation of all our photo/video options at our first consultation. Leading up to our wedding day, we met with Ryan again to go through the timeline and our desired photos. We felt 100% confident in the Willow team to capture our special day. Day of, Britt was our photographer and Ryan our videographer. Both of them were professional and fun, and made us feel comfortable and celebrated as an LGBTQ couple. After the wedding, we received communication for when and how we would receive our photos and video. We were so so so pleased with how everything turned out. The photos are BEAUTIFUL! Don’t hesitate to book Willow, they are 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 photographed my destination wedding in Antigua in June of 2024 and I could not have asked for a better photographer! We had a unique request for only candid photos throughout our three nights of events (we wanted the only posed photos to be quick group shots with family and friends right after our ceremony). She was so excited by the idea and over-delivered on all our wishes. She captured so many candid moments of my husband and me, of us celebrating with our dearest friends and family, and special moments of our guests that we hadn't gotten to see. The photos came out so beautifully, it's hard to believe they were truly candid and unplanned. It was such a gift to have these memories preserved; going through our wedding albums was like re-living all three days because she captured us in the middle of the memories as we made them. She has such an incredible talent and ability to capture the essence of each person she photographs. The lighting and aesthetic of the photos was also exactly as I had hoped, and each stage of each event was captured beautifully so that it transports us right back. We also wanted Madison to be a part of our celebration, and every single guest who interacted with her had the most gushing, glowing things to say about how lovely she is. I heard from so many of our guests that they completely forgot she was taking photos - she was so non-intrusive when she was shooting, so she was able to capture actual candid moments without people even realizing she was doing it. Madison was an asset and gift in every way during our celebrations, and I would recommend her to anyone who is looking for a photographer. She delivered on every wish we had, and was just such a pleasure to have at our events, lending a calm, sweet, and always helpful presence. She became a part of our friends and family as much as she was our photographer during our wedding. We are so grateful for her and will treasure the stunning photos she took for us forever.

The result is a narrative visual story of enduring human connections, and a chronicle of emotional moments that they can revisit time and time again.

I am so glad we chose to work with Nicole of Nicole Marcelle Photography. She captured absolutely stunning photos of our small wedding in Providence, and we are still blown away by how beautifully she documented the day. Nicole was professional, funny, and incredibly easy to work with. She offered so much helpful guidance and had a great eye for posing and locations, which made us feel really comfortable and at ease. One of the biggest highlights was how seamlessly she took charge when needed—corralling guests for group photos and keeping everything moving without ever feeling rushed. It allowed us to relax and truly enjoy the moment. We chose Nicole because we were impressed with her portfolio and knew she had photographed at our venue, the Providence Athenaeum, before. Her familiarity with the space showed in every shot; she captured the magic, atmosphere, and little details of the place perfectly. She also made sure my red wedding dress truly POPPED in the photos. Nicole’s work is an incredible investment—her photos are something we’ll treasure for years to come. If you want a photographer who can capture the emotion, beauty, and ambience of your wedding day, we highly and wholeheartedly recommend her.

Choosing Lynne as our wedding photographer was one of the best decisions we made for our special day! Lynne met with us beforehand to get an idea of what we were looking for in our pictures. We wanted something relaxed and natural that felt like us to capture our backyard wedding, and she delivered! Not only did she make us feel comfortable in front of the camera (something neither of us usually are!), she established a great rapport with our guests throughout the day which made for amazing candid and posed photos of all of our loved ones. We still have family and friends talk about how great she was at our wedding and asking for her contact information to set up their own photo shoots with her. We have since ordered prints from her and everything that we received is extremely high quality. Thank you for everything, Lynne!

Beyond her talent, Mallory has the absolute best energy. She’s warm, positive, and instantly makes you feel comfortable and at ease. While we’re not overly awkward in front of the camera, we still needed some direction, and she guided us perfectly while keeping everything fun, natural, and lighthearted.

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.

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!

Erika was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. We had a small, daytime wedding, and she was very accommodating with our needs. The process on the day-of was easy and natural. Even as people who don't typically like getting our picture taken, we are absolutely thrilled with the photos and would highly recommend Erika Eggleston Photography.

Hey, I’m Mark, a Rhode Island wedding photographer. I photograph weddings throughout southern RI, the Newport mansions, Cape Cod, and places with character—coastal estates, barns, mills, and rustic spaces. I became a photographer because I love work that brings people joy. Being trusted to capture meaningful moments is deeply rewarding, and it’s what led me to pursue this full-time. I’ve been a professional photographer since 2019. Since then, I’ve photographed over 130 weddings. My focus is creating an experience that feels calm, natural, and genuinely enjoyable—so couples can stay present and focused on the day itself.

I’ve worked with Mark for several weddings and I recommend him highly. As a makeup artist I remember those fellow vendors that made my job easier, but most importantly, the day smoother and more fun for those getting married! He is friendly, calm, professional, unobtrusive and makes everyone feel at ease. I have heard from those that hired him how wonderful he was. He is confident in his craft and with people. It feels like he genuinely likes people and what he does. When I see his work, the colors are as vibrant as they were in real life and my makeup on clients is not “washed out”. In addition to his positive demeanor that makes him a pleasure to have around, and the makeup looking beautiful in his photos, I believe his photography style captures the spirit of the day and brings people closer to reliving the excitement and happiness of such a beautiful life event.

I found myself photographing weddings 5 years ago. Before that I was into documentary and travel photography. I traveled the world doing it. My passion for love stories began after a friend asked me to photograph their wedding. It was the most intimate experience for me, the deep connection and the responsibility I was granted by my friend felt nothing but honorable. After that I decided to give it a go. Fast forward, today my style is candid and non-obtrusive and of course I work with posing and I’m really good at giving people directions. My passion is to observe my subjects and capture them in a very natural, honest and uncontrived way.

Marilia Lima Photography was a wonderful choice for our wedding photographer. Marilia was clear, organized, and professional in their communication with us throughout the entire process. Their work is meaningful, intentional and one of a kind. We selected them for their style which is natural, candid, and dreamy. Marilia was present and patient with Patrick, me and our families throughout the whole day, helping to capture the day with ease and grace. It was end of June and a little drizzly and Marilia embraced this and was able to capture some truly stunning detail shots in the rain. We did not do a first look so we did all our pictures after the ceremony and it never felt rushed; we were very at peace and were even able to make it to the cocktail hour. We were grateful for this. Marilia offers film as part of their standard packages, and I would highly recommend including this - one of my favorite shots so far is one they got of us under my veil on film. I highly recommend Marilia Lima Photography for your wedding day. Adding a few of the shots we got back on film below.
