Awarded Best of Zola
IF you want a wedding photographer who will instantly become a friend look no further than Meraki Photos Inc. We met Rayleen at the Connecticut Bridal and Wedding Expo and instantly feel in love with the spirit of her work. Rayleen’s eye for detail is amazing. Throw that in with her technical skills, down to earth personality, and professionalism and you have found yourself a true artist. Rayleen will stop at nothing to make sure she captures the most incredible shots, even if that means going outside in freezing cold temperatures or scaling a fence. She takes the time to get to know you as a couple, listen to your vision, and create magic that you didn’t even know you needed. Our fall wedding was the most beautiful day and I am so grateful that we booked with Meraki Photos. The photos from the day are absolutely stunning and capture the real joy and essence of our love. Seriously our friends and family cannot stop raving on how beautifully everything was photographed. We have found a life long photographer in Rayleen. She has been there with us through all our most important moments: engagement photoshoot, wedding day, maternity session, newborn photoshoot and mommy and me photo session. We are looking forward to our daughter’s smash cake session and family Christmas photos this year. We wholeheartedly recommend Meraki Photos Inc to anyone seeking extraordinary photos and an unforgettable experience.

Tianna Hauser Photography

  • Starts at $2,000
  • Serves Portland, CT

Hi! I'm Tianna, a New England wedding and destination photographer based in Connecticut. My faith is the foundation of everything apart of me. My family, friends, and my business. I wouldn’t be where I am today without God, & I pray that my clients can see the goodness of the Lord through every stage of working with me! My style reflects my photography: a mix of cottage core & country. Outside of photography, l'm a wife, mama, homebody at heart, and a lover of hot cocoa, fresh sourdough, thrifted finds, intentional living, garden shops, & cozy nights in. Inspired by old love letters, barefoot adventures, and celebrating in the in between!

Awarded Best of Zola
Tianna is professional, creative, fun, talented and kind! We felt so comfortable when we hired her to do a couple photo shoot. We were nervous at the beginning and she made us feel safe and we were laughing by the end. We then hired her to photograph our wedding the following year. Her eye for the right time to capture a photo is phenomenal! She also has many pose ideas. She works well with small or large groups. Her edits are beautiful and she gets them done in a timely fashion. She gave us a sneak peak in the meantime and answered any questions that we asked about them. We can’t begin to thank her enough for the wonderful memories that she has captured for us. We plan to hire her again when our family grows. Highly recommend Tianna!

When I got the photos back, I just sat down and smiled for hours. They sparkle, like they glow with the energy of the day. The sunlight shots are breathtaking and the colors feel so alive. My little niece dropping petals and giggling is one of my favorite shots ever. I also loved how they captured our vows without making us feel staged. The video is SO good, we’ve watched it with family three times already. My husband’s best man said it was the best wedding video he’s ever seen. I loved that they caught my grandparents dancing because it meant so much to me. I didn’t realize how many things I missed until I saw the gallery. These aren’t just pictures, they’re pieces of my heart. I’m so thankful I chose them.

Hi, I’m Isaac. In my world, light is everything. The cool ambient hues at dawn, hinting at what the day may bring. Golden sun rays catching particles through a tree as friends gathers to celebrate. A Cotton candy sunset peppered by patio string-lights as a DJ plays my favorite song. We all have timeless memories logged in our minds. For me, they are based in a language of light. As a wedding photographer, this deep connection to special lighting helps me produce dynamic visual stories of romance, personality and beauty.

Isaac came recommended from a friend who did their engagement and wedding photos with him. We were also fortunate to have done our proposal, engagement and wedding photos with Isaac! He is so professional and comfortable to be around. My husband and I dont usually like to take photos, because we are self conscious, but Isaac took care of us. I am so grateful we came across LoveKnot and will always highly recommend them for anyone's special occasion.

Hi, I'm Danny! My passion is to capture couples & their love story in a timeless way. I like to describe my style as a fusion between story-telling & editorial. I lean into true-to-life colors with a warm ambience and posing that's timeless but also interwoven with an editorial flare that's unique, artistic, and stylish. I also love incorporating story-telling stills that involve movement rather than a bunch of photos that feel "stiff" or overly posed. Story-telling moments bring wedding galleries life! I’d love the opportunity to connect with you, and hear more about your wedding vision!!

At Nebu Photography, we don’t just document weddings — we tell love stories through cinematic video and editorial-style photography, crafted with care, skill, and heart.

Nebu took headshots for my first NYC job back in 2018. Usually, companies provide headshots like school pictures and they’re always awful. So Nebu offered his services. Seven years later, I’m still using the photo Nebu took of me. It’s the best headshot I’ve ever had, even though I’ve paid other photographers since and haven’t loved any of them the same way. I would recommend Nebu 10,000% and he’s such a genuinely good person, which makes the whole experience comfortable and easy.

Working with the Big Shot Bun Company photographer and videographer was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. They were patient, attentive, and relatable, making us feel comfortable and at ease throughout the entire process. Their talent is truly magical - the photos they captured of our special day are perfect, showcasing their years of experience in a way that exceeds all of our expectations. They helped organize the logistics of when and where photos needed to happen, and even offered guidance on how we could best enjoy our wedding night, going above and beyond their duties as photographer/videographer. Both of them were so sweet and made sure all of our guests felt comfortable every step of the way. The photographer zoomed a couple times beforehand to ask questions, and about any family or friend situations to be aware of, which we thought was a thoughtful and smart approach. We got everything back WAY sooner than we thought we would, especially with it being around the holidays. These two seriously put in the work. We are thrilled with the final product and cannot recommend the Big Shot Bun Company highly enough.
