Krutick Photography 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,500
  • Serves Shelton, CT

Hi, I’m Richard, a wedding photographer based in the Hudson Valley. My passion is finding the beauty in the simplest moments and capturing them in a way that feels raw, real, and full of life. As a candid, photojournalist photographer, I’m all about ditching stiff poses to focus on the relationships, the laughs, and the genuine emotions that tell your distinct story. I aim to capture the little details and authentic moments that make your day uniquely yours.

Awarded Best of Zola
Richard Krutick is special. A special talent as well as a special man. He captured it! The day after our wedding he sent me a teaser gallery of what was to come. I was blown away. When planning my wedding the photographer was the most critical to me -I was picky. When I saw his work he turned my entire way of looking at my wedding around. Richard and I had over an hour-long conversation and we clicked. I, having a creative director background and working with photographers all my career, was thrilled because we spoke the same language. I wanted honest, documentary-style moments captured without noticing the presence of the photographer. He was there when you needed him and you liked him. My guests were saying what a warm and great guy he is. He got their personalities, each and every one of them. He looks at everything with a special eye. Right at the time of my outdoor wedding with the most beautiful view and lush floral arbor, it poured and didn't stop. Gravel walkways turning into mud, no bride or groom wants to see. He just grabbed the moments and ran with them. Pivoting, he captured the most creative and editorial images I could ever dream of. He took the storm and made it beautiful. I hope I will have another event, moment, fun-filled party, or cherished time that he can again capture so we can work with him again.

Wedding Photography by George

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $1,700
  • Serves Shelton, CT

My name is George. I’m a wedding, event, and portrait photographer based in Connecticut. I began my photography journey at the age of 17. In 2009, I attended the Fashion Institute of Technology in Manhattan, NY, where I completed the Fashion Photography program. As an artist, my goal is to create natural images that are full of life and express beauty. I approach each client’s needs with care and creativity—capturing emotions, unique details, and the essence of your story. Professional photographer since 2009 and have photographed over 200 weddings.

Awarded Best of Zola
We booked George to capture our wedding day at an outdoor venue in northern MA. As a photographer myself I have high standards when it comes to photos, so I was very selective when making my choice. But I'm happy to report that we made a great choice with George as his work is top notch. Before the wedding we had 2 phone calls to plan out the many scenes we'd want him to capture. We also shared some light guidance on editing style, which he happily incorporated. On the day of the wedding George arrived promptly (early even, which was good) despite the fact he was driving many hours from CT. George did a great job making people feel comfortable in front of the camera. He seemed very experienced as throughout the day he seamlessly transitioned from the foreground to the background as needed. He was never in the way, but always nearby and ready to jump in and capture whatever was happening. He also captured a variety of types of shots, from the wide, establishing shots to the perfectly composed closeups of intimate moments - with lots of extra detail shots and plenty of candids too. For the ceremony in particular, he displayed his great eye and quick reaction time to document every moment and every angle, including crowd reactions. He came well prepared too with 2 Sony mirrorless cameras and a large off-camera flash to ensure even lighting. From our 8-hour shoot he provided over 1,400 fully edited photos (each 61MP) via a Google Drive download link. We were extremely please with the quality and speed of our portfolio (fully delivered within 2 weeks). On top of that, George happily provided me with the full edited portfolio in TIFF file format, per my request. The file sizes are much larger so I gave him a 512GB USB drive which he loaded and shipped back to me. I really can't say enough good things about George. So just book him now and I know you'll be pleased with the results!

Callie Ying Photography

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,600
  • Serves Shelton, CT

I’m a wedding and lifestyle photographer based in New York and Connecticut. I capture moments that feel alive—genuine, emotional, and meaningful. My goal is to create photos that bring you back to the emotions of that day, reminding you of the love, commitment, and joy that made it unforgettable. When I’m not with the camera, you’ll find me painting, refreshing my home decor, hunting for vintage treasure, exploring new places, or taking care of my plants family (currently over a dozen and counting!).

I am so grateful she was there for my big day—her presence made everything feel effortless and truly special. From the very beginning, she was incredibly thoughtful and professional. Before the shoot, we met to discuss our ideas, and she took the time to truly understand our vision. Not only did she listen attentively, but she also shared her own creative suggestions based on her research, making everything even better than we had imagined. On the day of the shoot, having her there felt like having a trusted guide and a dear friend by my side, capturing beautiful moments in the most natural way. She created such a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere that I never once worried about how the photos would turn out—I simply enjoyed the moment. Her presence on my ceremony day wasn’t just about taking pictures; she played a key role in making sure everything went smoothly. When we received the final photos, my husband and I were beyond thrilled. Each image felt like a window back to that magical day, filled with love and joy. We couldn’t stop looking at them! Her talent, patience, and warmth made this experience truly unforgettable. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer who can capture not just pictures, but emotions and memories that last a lifetime.

Hey! My name is Bill. I’ve been practicing photography since 2016, where I started in automotive (if you can guess what I named my business after, bonus points). My whole process is structured mainly to eliminate the stress of worrying about your timeline on your special day. It starts with a consultation, and ends with a call a month before to solidify your schedule. My style is a blend of documentary and artistic, meaning the candid photos are what really matter, but the posed photos are what might print and frame. Regardless, your day is my focus (pun intended). If you think we’d vibe, let’s chat and make your special day great!

I haven’t even gotten married yet (wedding to come) and he’s been nothing short of amazing! Can’t wait to see my wedding photos! Highly recommend him!

Hi There, I'm Jeff. I believe your wedding day is about one thing - celebrating with your loved ones. It’s not about the decorations or the cake or the dress or the formalities of the day. Don’t get me wrong – those things are important, but that’s all on the surface. The real wedding is what’s happening beneath the surface. The energy, the joy, and the love that can only come from the people that are there – your friends, your family, your nearest and dearest. That's what I focus on.

We loved how all of the photos showed everyone’s genuine emotions of the day so well!

In the 20 years that I've been photographing professionally, I’ve honed my skill of knowing when to step in and make things happen, and when to step back and simply *allow* things to happen. Documenting the REAL emotion of the day is how we capture those picture-perfect moments. They happen organically, not by force, and I promise you: we're not going to miss ANY of them. = )

It's feeling, and it's found in the whirlwind and the still moments, in heightened emotion and calm, and above all, celebrating what makes you and your partner exactly who you are with the people you choose to surround yourself with. In my work composition serves to frame the feeling, with permission to be raw, outrageous, reserved, and unabashedly yourself. I make photos about the day and not the day about the photos. All couples of all genders, ethnicities, ages, faiths, shapes and abilities, are more than welcome.

Awarded Best of Zola
We had the most amazing time working with Ali! We had kind of a long engagement and we initially started working with Ali over a year and a half before our wedding to get our engagement photos done. Not only were the photos beautiful, but Ali made us feel super comfortable and at ease throughout our session. Leading up to our wedding day, Ali was amazing at coordinating the day of timeline with our coordinator and making sure that all the elements that were important to us were included so that we had enough time to capture the moments. One of my favorite things about working with Ali is her calm presence. Every time I was stressed about something in the planning process about the timeline I would talk to Ali and she would immediately make me feel at ease. She was constantly reminding me that the most important thing on my wedding day was to be present with our friends and family (and as a type A bride this was a much-needed reminder!) Ali also came to take photos at our rehearsal dinner and welcome party which was great because she got to know our families and our family dynamics before our big day which was a huge help! On the wedding day Ali and the second shooter Scottie were rockstars! They went above and beyond at every opportunity from helping the boys tie a bow tie, climbing out on my fire escape to get a crazy photo that I had in mind, moving locations at last minute, dealing with rain, helping bustle my dress, and of course capturing all the beauty of our perfect day. I will not hesitate to work with Ali and her team again! She’s amazing, a true professional, and I hope we have the chance to have her capture our big milestones in the years to come.

From the first phone call with Pavel, I knew we were going to have an amazing team. Pavel was so incredibly thorough and reassuring and helped create a perfect timeline for the day. The team, Eddy, Rob & Dave, were so charismatic and knowledgeable. They knew exactly what to do and what instructions to give my husband and I to create the most beautiful and intimate photos. We’re a little camera shy, so the fact they were able to direct us and make us feel comfortable shows their expertise. We are so beyond happy with our photos, full length video and highlight reels. Also - I have to say, the team is so great at capturing AMAZING candids during the party! There were times I didn’t even know they were behind me, and I am so happy to have all these moments captured. I did not feel like I had a camera in my face during the party at all! We had 3K AMAZING photos to look through, and EVERY photo is fantastic. I have also watched my highlight reel so many times, and I’ve already watched my full length film and plan on watching it again with my parents. I will seriously be recommending PSPI to everyone I know!! THANK YOU PSPI!!

You know that all encompassing feeling when you’re revisiting a vivid memory? You can smell the fresh air, feel the way the sun hits your face just so, hear the voice of the loved one next to you, remember the joke that they delivered and instantly you’re laughing all over again. That magic is what I hope to capture as your photographer. It’s my job to hold those moments in time so that they don’t have to fade. You’ll forever be able to revisit the moment, see the exact way they smiled, revisit that incredible sunset, relive the memory and turn back time.

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.

This summer I had the pleasure of having Cate photograph my backyard micro wedding. She was great to work with and made sure to do meetings with us prior to the wedding to plan the photos we wanted and map out the timing of the day. This way it was an extremely smooth process for family photos prior and after the ceremony. Cate made the wedding photo experience so fun and the results were incredible! I couldn’t have asked for better photos. She got me a sneak peek within 24hrs and by 2-3 months our edited gallery was ready. Overall, our wedding moments wouldn’t be what they are without Cate’s amazing photos. I highly recommend her for your wedding.

I’m a storyteller. That’s what I’m here to do - document the story of one of your greatest celebrations. My work is heavily focused on the authentic, unplanned moments. My approach is observational and real, creating images that are genuine representations of you, those you love, and the space and moments you share. I create true-to-life images that will bring you back to some of your sweetest, most treasured moments for years to come. These images aren't just for you, after all - they're for the branches of your family tree that have yet to grow. For the generations to come.

Awarded Best of Zola
Kaitlin is amazing to work with. As a photographer who has done weddings myself, I had high standards and specific requests that weeded out a lot of people during my search. Kaitlin immediately stood out to me as someone with the ability to capture the essence of a couple. As I browsed her galleries I felt like I knew the couples and their stories by the time I was done. My wife and I are very introverted, shy, and not used to being the center of attention — let alone in front of a camera. After consulting with Kaitlin it was even more clear that she was the perfect photographer for us. Kaitlin listened to our requests, asked us questions to get a better understanding of what sort of coverage we’d like, and checked in multiple times leading up to the wedding day to go over plans. On the day of, Kaitlin was incredible. She set her flash units up perfectly to give a beautiful sense of lighting to our indoor pictures. Kaitlin was quick and professional with our family formals without feeling like she was rushing anyone. We love our newlywed portraits, largely due to how natural it felt to work with her—again this was huge for us as two people who are a bit camera shy. Our reception photos are equally beautiful, she captured meaningful candid moments without feeling like she was standing between us and the moments happening around us. If you’re like my wife and me and aren’t used to being on camera, I would 100% recommend booking a practice session with Kaitlin either for engagement photos or couples’ photos. As a photographer I’m used to being behind the camera and not in front of it. She helped us feel comfortable and it also helped her see how we interact together as a couple. At no point did we feel like Kaitlin was commandeering our schedule to check off boxes on a shot-list. She was seamlessly integrated everything. Genuinely, I cannot recommend Kaitlin enough. Working with her is like having a best friend there take your wedding photos.
