As both a client and a vendor in the industry, I can say with certainty that Kelly is a true talent.

Welcome! I am a daughter of Vietnamese immigrants who chose to move to Connecticut, where I have lived for most of my life. I love the change of seasons in this part of the country and all the rich backdrops it brings for imagery (and mental health walks and runs). My cultural heritage is the foundation for my photographic passion. My camera allows me to work where I know I work best, behind-the-scenes, front row at some of the most profound moments in people's lives. In a pinch though, I'll be there carrying the train, making sure you don't get your shoes dirty and helping to support you where I can throughout your wedding day!

Awarded Best of Zola
Kim was incredible to work with! She was so helpful in creating the timeline for our wedding day and giving us suggestions on how to make everything flow. She was on time, kept track of all the photos we wanted and made sure that everyone was in the right place at the right time. The photos are stunning too - I can’t wait to get the whole album back. I couldn’t recommend her more.

Rachel photographed our rehearsal dinner and wedding day and I had an amazing experience working with her! Her work is incredible and she captured our memories beautifully. Her timeless, classic style is exactly what I envisioned. She made everyone feel so comfortable, she even learned the names of our immediate family members (my MIL still raves about how much she loves Rachel)! We enjoyed spending most of our wedding day with her, she is lovely and made taking lots of photos so fun. She was also very experienced in creating a photography timeline and helped prioritize what was important to us on our wedding day. I highly recommend Rachel for all your photography needs!

Aren Paradis Photography 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,500
  • Serves Plainville, CT

Hi! I'm Aren, when trusted to tell your story through my lens, I take a photojournalistic approach. I value capturing the moments as they are happening on your big day, rather than making your wedding day into a "photoshoot". Real, raw, + authentic love is what I am here to capture. Minimalistic photography really draws my eye, never over complicating what's really happening in front of us, and finding the beauty in the simple, in-between, moments.

Aren was an absolutely wonderful to work with for our wedding. From the first call, to engagement session, to our wedding day we felt so comfortable with putting the trust of capturing our day in her hands. She made sure to complete almost all of our shot list before the ceremony, leaving ample time to capture the reception and candid moments that were so important to us. Her style is exactly what we were looking for, and her photos speak for themselves. She truly captured the energy and spirit of our celebration in such a beautiful way. As someone who feels extremely awkward in front of the camera, I highly recommend doing an engagement session with her, as it gave us all a chance to get to know each other and for me to get a little more comfortable in front of the camera. We are beyond grateful to her for her thoroughness and creative eye for capturing so many memories from a year's worth of planning and such a few short hours of celebrating!

I can't say enough good things about AllStar Weddings, particularly DJ Craig. DJ Craig was a pleasure to work with.

We had Emma be our photographer for our wedding in June 2019 and she was absolutely amazing. From the time of first meeting with Emma to book, leading up to the wedding day, and the wedding day itself, Emma made sure that everything was in place and communicated fully with us about everything. Anytime I needed something she took over and handled it to make sure we had nothing to worry about. I would recommend Emma to anybody as she truly cares about you, your wedding party, and making sure you have the best day ever. A little bonus, we ordered a wedding photo book from her and it is absolutely beautiful, and I highly recommend getting one to remember your special day! Thank you so much Emma!

Catherine Johanna Photography beautifully preserves timeless moments with a documentary approach. Specializing in weddings and portrait photography, Catherine, blends artistry and professionalism seamlessly. She specializes in making her couples feel comfortable in front of her camera. From unexpected laughter, and emotional moments to stunning portraits with character, joy, and authentic emotion, Catherine focuses on the uniqueness of every couple to transform their special moments into enduring memories. Serving Connecticut, the greater New England area & beyond. Recent international weddings include Vienna Austria and St Andrews Scotland.

Hiring Catherine was by far our best decision for our wedding day. We clicked from the start! After seeing her website, I knew we had to work with her. At first my husband was unsure because we hadn't settled on a budget yet, but once we had our consult he was in! Once we had our engagement session, he was also a raving fan. He's not crazy about photos and he actually enjoyed the experience! Catherine made it feel so natural and so easy. He had imagined photography to be really slow and heavily posed and boring, but Catherine had prompts to keep us moving, laughing and focused on each other. For our wedding day, she did the ABSOLUTE most amazing job with her second photographer. They captured literally everything that was important to us and better than we ever could have imagined. Then, don't get us started on the album - she encouraged us to have an album reveal party with our wedding parties and parents and no one could believe the quality weight and luxury of the leather album. I know we'll be showing our children and grandchildren this album when the time comes. Catherine, thank you from the bottom of our hearts and if you're wondering, YES go hire her now!

Photography has always been a passion of mine even after I started my career as a science teacher. I wake up everyday and teach 100+ kids in 9th and 10th grade about the wonder and beauty of the sciences. I also get to wake up everyday with a camera in hand, and connect to loved ones starting out on new paths. I have this strong desire to create art and speak the truth of other’s lives. Everyday I have an excitement for what's to come, and who I will be blessed with to capture. What never meant to become a business, slowly turned into this beautiful opportunity to be connected to so many amazing humans and invest in their lives.

Melanie was the best photographer for our wedding in May 2024 in Boston!!!! She was the perfect combination of professional, fun, on-top of her game, but also super chill and go with the flow. Which is exactly what we were looking for in all of our vendors. She made everyone feel so comfortable and would ask us funny or heart felt questions when we were taking group couple pictures to ensure she captured raw emotion and to keep things interesting. There was never a dull moment. Everyone from our bridal party family came up to me after and said how much they loved Melanie and her team. Couldn't recommend her enough!!!!!!!

Let me tell you about my amazing experience with George Street Photo. From start to finish, they were there every step of the wedding planning process. They made it very easy on the wedding day. Not only were the photographers (John and the associate photographer Craig) professional, they went above and beyond on the big day to make us comfortable. Our venue did not have many picturesque spots for photography, but John and Craig killed it! They made it work and caught amazing photos outside and inside the venue as well. They talked to us like we were good friends, and posing for the shots was made simple and easy. They shot over 1,500 photos, all of which captured the moment and were very special to us. They are very high quality, and when I tell you the turnaround time for the photos was fast, well, it was FAST. They had those photos ready for us within 3 weeks. I’ve been told people wait much longer for their photos. I’m glad we picked George Street Photo, and had John and Craig on our special day. Thank you.

Our experience with Taylor and Yan from Sounds Originals was phenomenal. They went above and beyond to ensure every significant moment was captured with creativity and precision. The end results were nothing short of spectacular. The photos were high-quality, with stunning clarity and perfect lighting. Each shot was framed beautifully and told a story of its own. They were punctual, well-prepared, and adaptable to the changing dynamics of the event. For example, when we were behind our schedule for our couple's picture, Taylor suggested a great idea of finishing our sections during the cocktail time. Taylor's approachable and engaging manner made the photo sessions enjoyable and stress-free for us. She was really helpful with guiding us with posing when we didn't know what to do. The video footage was crystal clear, with smooth transitions and impeccable editing. Overall, I would highly recommend Taylor and Yan from Sounds Originals to anyone in need of an exceptional photographer/videographer. Their passion for their craft is evident in every shot and frame, making them a joy to work with.

I present fun, elegant, and exciting Wedding Photography for my clients. My style is photojournalistic; I feel it's the most effective way to tell a story. After all, there is so much happening on a wedding day. Between the ceremony, dancing, and endless extravaganzas, the most memorable moments will naturally occur.  My goal is to capture the emotions and memories of your day through my lens. These recollections are your forever keepsakes, a chapter of your life's story. Every image accounts for those who were by your side, delighted for you, and the next step in your journey. I appreciate you for giving me a few moments of your time.t

My husband and I were from out of town and hired Sean to photograph us at a Christmas gala at the place we got married. He was accommodating to last minute changes to make the most of the session and even went above and beyond to make it happen. Upon first impression, he was upbeat and had a vision. We were outside in sub 30 degree weather with fading evening light as well as low light inside a building and he was up for the challenge. We ended up with beautiful images in less than ideal conditions and that is what makes a great photographer. Sean has a sense of humor and an eye for that perfect photograph. He was fun to work with and his heart for people and creativity shows through. Thank you Sean for capturing this time in our lives.

I am a Connecticut-based wedding and portrait photographer obsessed with candid moments, real emotion, and the connections between human beings. I strive to capture life as we actually live it: full of beauty and roughness, joy and struggle, extravagance and simplicity. When I photograph you, I’m not thinking about getting likes on social media. I’m thinking about what will make your heart grow three times its size. I’m thinking about what will make you ugly-cry, looking back. I’m thinking about you seeing how awesome and truly loved you are.

Awarded Best of Zola
My husband I decided to elope, planning the whole event in a week. It was important to me to get great photos to share with the friends and family who wouldn't be with us on the day. As soon as I saw Cate Barry's portfolio, especially with the candid photos, I knew that she was the right person to capture the true spirit of the day. Luckily, she was able to squeeze us into her calendar, and our preliminary meetings with Cate were fantastic: she made sure she understood our priorities—super open to who we are and what we care about—and she acted as friend, therapist, and wedding expert in a very frantic time. She even recommended a fantastic officiant who was exactly our speed. On the day, the three of us met up for some outdoor photos before the ceremony, and while I was afraid my husband and I might be awkward or stiff, Cate put us at ease immediately, and we were smiling with natural poses in no time. Then at the venue, Cate both contributed to and captured the joyful, relaxed atmosphere of the day.  We got our photos in record time, and even when we first flicked through the images on my phone over pizza, we could immediately tell Cate had memorialized the magic of the day, from happy tears to spontaneous jumping up and down with our witnesses. It means a lot to have wonderful pictures to share with our loved ones, and we would work with Cate again in a heartbeat.
