Terrence Irving Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (26 reviews)
  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $4,500
  • Serves South Lyme, CT

Black Connecticut wedding photographer, purveyor of the artistically-engineered photography experience. That's a crafty way of saying, I'm a computer nerd who's pretty good at photography and believes in great service! Digital image gallery, print rights, and beautiful, physical prints included with every package. My work focuses on telling my couples’ wedding day love stories through the pictures I capture. Artwork is the goal, whether it’s a highly-stylized posed photo or a moment where a loved one is emoting.

Awarded Best of Zola
“We found Terrence very early on in our wedding process. His gallery had some of the most beautiful photos we had ever seen; some were dramatic, which is what my husband loves, others were soft, warm, and candid, which were my favorites. To find a photographer that could fit both of our styles was so exciting. Terrence’s package was over our budget, in part because we were marrying in NY, so would have to pay a travel fee. I was convinced I could find someone within budget. I searched and agonized for an additional two months. Finally, my now-husband convinced me that the photos would be the one thing from the day we would get to keep forever and we sprang for Terrence and let me tell you, both of us have agreed the extra cost was more then justified. In high heat and humidity and looming storms, Terrence did everything he could to keep us on-schedule and to get incredible photos at a venue he had never even been to. We just received our sneak peak gallery and all of us are in awe of the photos he captured. We look forward to working with Terrence in the future for other big life moments, and you should absolutely book him too - engagement shoot or wedding, Terrence will capture your moment perfectly!”

We worked together to create a shot list of everything we wanted to capture. The morning of, she was able to scope out the perfect angles at the property. During the wedding, she was organized and focused. Her photos of the decorations are beautiful, incorporating the depth of field effect we loved.

Cozy, natural, and fun storytelling for those who value being in the moment. We’re Erin & Peter — Connecticut wedding photographers who blend classic portraits and candid, joyful moments; documenting weddings across Connecticut, Hudson Valley, and New England.

“Daphne and Deane (Peter and Erin) are the best photographers we could’ve ever asked for! They’re warm, easy to talk to and incredibly skilled at what they do. We haven’t received all our photos back yet as our wedding was just a couple weeks ago, but they delivered many preview photos to us within just a couple days and what we’ve seen so far is absolutely stunning! They do such a good job of getting the shots in quickly and somehow being everywhere at once without being in the way at all. I’m already thinking of other shoot ideas so that we can work with them again because they’re just all around lovely, talented and professional. We cannot wait to see all our photos, we already know they’re going to be perfection.”

I'm a wedding and elopement photographer based out of Pittsburgh, PA! However, the stories I capture don't start and end there. I love to travel to capture stories all around the world.

“We had our wedding in California and Edgar flew out and helped make our day so memorable! We didn't know him before and didn't end up doing an engagement shoot (so I was a little nervous) but he absolutely nailed it. His photos are stunning (I've gotten a TON of compliments on them), he is extremely communicative, and he had a bunch of photos ready to go by the end of the wedding. Both me and my husband aren't great at posing for photos and he knew exactly how to place us without it feeling faked. Super easy to work with and just a really nice guy. I'd highly recommend him to anyone!”

“When my (now) husband and I were booking vendors for our wedding, we had no idea where to start looking for a photographer. I decided to let Zola recommend some vendors and when Johnny from So Behold This reached out, I was immediately drawn to his artistic style. Then when we started chatting, I immediately loved his vibe and we booked with him fairly quickly. Our entire experience with Johnny was fantastic. He is super fun to work with, very communicative and professional and his work is fantastic. We just received our teaser photographs from the wedding and we LOVE them. Would absolutely recommend So Behold This to anyone in the Greater Boston area.”

Awarded Best of Zola
“We were so blessed with fantastic vendors on our day, but Mary truly helped us bring the whole thing together. From the moment we chatted on the phone, we knew we were in great hands!! With her quote, she sent over a proposed timeline for the day and recommendations of timing / number of photographers-- we used this to quite literally plan our whole day timeline around, and we were never running low on time; everything felt according to plan and never rushed. (Family photos were SO smooth!) Her level of detail is so special, and we loved the photos captured of all the hard work we put in on the decorations, venue, etc. as well as the organic human moments filled with emotion, silliness and beyond! She makes you feel so comfortable and ease immediately, which helped bring out the sweetness and silliness in our couples photos. We also got the BEST reception photos and loved how much happened on the dance floor or at cocktail hour that we didn't even see happen (because, you know, you're a bit busy seeing everyone)! Could not have asked for a better photographer, and we're so happy we had her for our day.”

I raved about Amanda before to everyone because I know how great she is and I couldn’t wait for her to photograph this magical day! Our daughter’s wedding day was beyond perfect and Amanda’s pictures captured every precious moment. Amanda is such a professional with an amazing personality. From the moment Amanda walked into the bridal suite and said “Turn that music up and let’s get this party started” everyone relaxed. She had her list and timeline and maintained it all while making everyone laugh and feel comfortable. She made sure to take all the pictures we requested and photographed many more wonderful moments than we could have ever imagined. Amanda had a little video up within hours and we were blown away with just how breathtaking it was. Our venue, Flag Hill Winery and Distillery, was beyond beautiful and Amanda captured all that beauty in her outstanding photos. Abby, her second shooter, was great to work with as well and captured many great shots of the groomsmen and family. We cannot believe just how outstanding and stunning the photos are. We will cherish them forever. They definitely make me relive those wonderful moments all over again. Family and friends are blown away by just how incredible the pictures are!!

While I was getting ready(we are running about 30 minutes late) she was out taking photos of the venue, the lay flat photos, and the other details pictures. She even held onto our rings for me because the bridal suite was a wreck and I didn’t wanna lose them. All in all my experience with her was a 12/10 experience.

I have been a photographer for 8 years. Throughout my time as a photographer I’ve captured clothing, models, and memories. I shifted from corporate shootings to families and weddings because it gave me this warm fuzzy feeling when I edited my couples and families photos. Don’t be afraid to reach out to me and ask about my photography style, my editing style, or my favorite restaurant! I highly recommend scheduling a free consulting session!

Grace was punctual and went straight to capturing our final moments of getting ready, and she gave us time to socialize and enjoy our guests. I loved her creativity and willingness to take unique shots. I would definitely recommend her for any couple's day!”

Savage Wedding Co. is for couples who want their wedding to feel like themselves — not a performance, not a production, and not something they have to manage all day. I work with a balance of structure and flexibility: enough direction to keep things moving, and enough space for moments to unfold without forcing them. I don’t chase perfection or try to smooth out every edge. Some moments are quiet. Some are awkward. Some don’t fit neatly into a highlight reel — and that’s usually where the honest stuff lives. I don’t rush past those moments or reshape them to look like something else. I let things be.

There aren't many photographers who will also have casual conversations with you as well. He cared about getting to know us so he could match the vibe in his photography. He incorporated our vision for our day and captured both the large and small moments. We can't recommend him enough! Thanks Magnus!”

When I first started wedding photography, I made a goal of being more than just the photographer on your big day. I made it my goal to be your friend, someone you can crack inside jokes with, and someone who isn't afraid to get down + have fun at the reception (while still doing her job). I made it my goal to capture more than just photos, but an experience. Whether it’s high in the mountains, on a beach near the ocean, in a forest meadow - you deserve to get married however you want to & I want to capture it for you.

“We were thrilled to work with Hazel & Spice Photography for our wedding day. From our first conversation, Lexi's enthusiasm and kindness made us feel confident we'd made the right choice. She has a gift for making everyone feel at ease in front of the camera, which showed in our engagement session and throughout the wedding day—the photos are absolutely gorgeous.

Beyond her incredible talent behind the lens, Lexi is just a lovely person to be around, which made the whole experience feel special.

The quality of the photos and videos was simply phenomenal. Every shot captured the emotions, joy, and beauty of our celebration so perfectly that we get to relive those memories every time we look at them. But what truly blew us away were the edits they were absolutely fire! The cinematic quality, attention to detail, colors, transitions, and storytelling were on another level. The biggest testament to their talent was the response we received online. Every Instagram post created performed incredibly well, with friends, family, and even people we didn’t know commenting on how stunning the content looked. The visuals were so captivating that our posts went viral, and we continue to receive compliments weeks later. Beyond their exceptional talent, Tharun and his team were warm, patient, organized, and an absolute pleasure to work with.

I shot my first wedding in 2004, and from that moment on, I was hooked! It's an honor to witness and capture such an important moment in the lives of my couples. Before specializing in weddings, I focused on fine art and night photography. I earned a BFA degree in studio art from the University of Notre Dame (Go Irish!), and a MFA degree in imaging arts/photography from Rochester Institute of Technology. I taught black and white, digital, alternative process and studio photography at the high school, university and adult education levels. I love both the planned events and the unintentional, quiet moments that make a wedding unique!

“We booked Kristin Griffin Photography for our recent September wedding. Our photographers for day of, Jess and Caroline were fabulous! They were both incredibly professional, organized, and warm. They made sure we not only got our full shot list, but also photos we hadn't thought to ask for. Their easy demeanor was felt across the bridal party and several of our guests and family commented on how great they were. Easy planning process, and felt listened to and reassured through each step of the process. Would absolutely recommend!”
