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.”

“If you are looking for a wedding photographer who is insanely talented, incredibly easy to work with, and offers amazing pricing, look no further than Johnny from So Behold This. We truly cannot recommend him highly enough! From our very first interaction, Johnny made the entire process seamless. For our engagement session, he took us on a photo shoot around Worcester and completely tailored the locations and vibe to match our personalities. He has an incredible eye for detail and a knack for making you feel instantly comfortable in front of the camera, which resulted in photos that felt authentic and uniquely "us." When it came to our wedding at Glenpharmer Distillery, Johnny blew us away. Glenpharmer is such a stunning and unique venue, but its distinct distillery elements and lighting require a photographer who truly knows how to work with the space. Johnny navigated the venue flawlessly, utilizing the historic architecture and ambient textures to capture breathtaking, creative shots. The quality of his work is simply excellent. Every single photo is beautifully composed, perfectly edited, and captures the raw emotion of our day. To get this level of artistry and high-end quality at such a competitive and reasonable price point is truly rare. Johnny is professional, flexible, and an absolute joy to be around. He didn't just document our wedding; he elevated the entire experience. Thank you, Johnny, for giving us memories we will cherish forever!”

Amanda is a Cape Cod wedding photographer with over 15 years of experience capturing refined coastal celebrations.

She brings a calm, confident presence to every wedding day, helping couples feel completely at ease while creating imagery that is timeless, emotional, and effortlessly beautiful.

Awarded Best of Zola
“Amanda from ShoreShotz truly came into our lives at exactly the right time. After our original wedding photographer scammed us, we were understandably stressed and nervous about finding someone new so close to our wedding. Our venue recommended Amanda, telling us how much they love working with her — and now I completely understand why! From the very beginning, Amanda made us feel valued, cared for, and genuinely loved. She was incredibly professional while also being so fun, personable, and easy to be around. My husband and I are not people who particularly love being in front of the camera, but Amanda somehow made the entire experience feel natural and FUN. She knew exactly how to make us laugh, feel comfortable, and actually enjoy taking photos instead of feeling like we were posing all day. And the photos… UNREAL. We are absolutely blown away by our wedding gallery. Our friends and family cannot stop talking about how incredible our pictures are, and we truly feel like Amanda captured our wedding day better than we could have imagined. She captured all of the little moments, the emotion, the fun, and the energy of the day so beautifully. She also gave us sneak peeks so quickly and had our entire wedding gallery back to us incredibly fast, which was such an amazing surprise after the wedding. We were so excited to relive the day through her photos. Amanda is one of those people who makes you feel like you’ve known her forever. By the end of our wedding, she genuinely felt like a friend, not just our photographer. She has such an amazing personality, talent, and passion for what she does, and it absolutely shows in her work. We are SO grateful that our original photographer situation led us to Amanda because we truly cannot imagine our wedding day without her. I will be using Amanda for ANY photography needs we have in the future and will recommend her to absolutely everyone I know. If you are considering booking Amanda, DO IT. You will not regret it. She is incredibly talented, kind, professional, fun, and somehow manages to make you look and feel like a model even if you hate having your picture taken. Amanda, thank you for saving our wedding memories and giving us photos we will treasure for the rest of our lives. We love you!!!”

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.

“From start to finish, Magnus was so great to work with! He was super communicative, and was incredibly flexible when we needed to move our engagement photo date. He worked with harsh beach sunlight (and was only a couple days post-op on a leg procedure) and delivered our photos super fast! We hired him to be the photographer and DJ for our March wedding and the process was very smooth. He asked lots of questions about our preferences, helped us nail down a day-of timeline, and kept us relaxed! On our wedding day, he kept things moving and suggested some really cool photos to take that have ended up being some of our favorites! The music was also INCREDIBLE - he played nearly all of our requested songs and I didn't stop dancing all night! The guests raved about him, his second photographer (Hi, Jordan!!) and the music. Thank you for making our wedding day so memorable - we got the sneak peek photos back within 24 hours and we can't wait to see the rest!!”

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!

“Kristin was absolutely fabulous to work with! We were a little nervous at first about having just one photographer at our wedding (trying to save some money) but Kristin put all our fears at ease. She was organized, prompt, professional, and above all, very kind. She took great care of myself and my husband. For two awkward people who typically don't photograph well, she made us feel relaxed and like rock stars who had been posing for years. Because of that, her resulting pictures are stunning!!! My guests remarked frequently on just how impressed how Kristin so unobtrusively managed to capture everything. I could not recommend her enough and we were so grateful to have her for our special day. The photographs she took will be treasured for a long time.”

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.

“From the moment we started planning our wedding, Lexi from Hazel & Spice Photography was always quick to respond to our questions and concerns. She takes her job seriously and goes above and beyond to capture the shots that any bride dreams of having. On the day of our wedding, she showed up early and helped our bartender set up the last-minute charcuterie cups while I was finishing my hair—that's just who she is. Lexi wasn't just our photographer; she became a friend to us. Her work is incredible and her dedication to making our day special really stood out. We can't recommend her enough. And the results of her work, our photos from our special day turned out breath taking! Chose Lexi you will never be disappointed!”

“Working with Tony and Olya was beyond anything we could have imagined. They didn’t just capture our wedding day at Hudson House in Jersey City—they immortalized it in the most stunning, breathtaking way possible. From our first look, with the city as our backdrop, to every intimate, emotional moment, they transformed what was a rainy day into a masterpiece of light, emotion, and beauty. Every shot, every angle was perfect. Before the wedding, I had the chance to meet with Olya, and that made all the difference. She took the time to sit down with us and really listen to what we wanted. We talked through our vision for the day, and Olya helped shape that vision into something even better than we imagined. She also worked with us to create a timeline that kept everything running smoothly without ever feeling rushed. Her professionalism and creativity were exactly what we needed, and it gave me so much confidence going into the big day. Olya was also incredible during the getting ready process. She was so attentive to every little detail—the dress, the shoes, the rings, and all the small, meaningful touches that might have been overlooked. She captured everything beautifully, and her calm, professional presence helped me feel relaxed in the midst of all the excitement. It felt like having a close friend there who just happens to be an extraordinary photographer. During our engagement session in Curaçao, Tony and Olya made us feel like absolute superstars. We weren’t just taking photos—we were living a dream. They even created a short video alongside the session, and it’s something so deeply beautiful that we’ll show it to our children and their children. It was an experience we’ll never forget, and neither will anyone else who sees their work. Their ability to direct us, make us feel comfortable, and anticipate moments is nothing short of magic. Tony and Olya work together with such seamless synergy, always one step ahead, making sure every single detail is captured beautifully. From the very first planning stages to the final shot, they took care of everything—keeping the timeline, offering ideas, and helping us relax, while making every moment an experience to savor. Tony and Olya are worth every single penny. The way they captured the essence of our love, the laughter, the tears, and the joy—it’s priceless. I can’t imagine anyone else I’d trust to capture all of our future milestones, because I know that they’ll always go above and beyond. If you’re looking for photographers who will not just meet your expectations but blow them out of the water, look no further. Tony and Olya’s passion, talent, and energy are unmatched. I am beyond excited to continue working with them for every big moment in our lives. They are truly one of a kind.”
