Stafford Springs, CT
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $2,000

Hii! I'm Nicole and I work full-time as a nurse and pursued my passion for photography in 2017 when I would attend my boyfriend (now husband's) motocross races all over New England. I quickly began capturing family and friends and learned that I loved capturing moments in life big and small! I love capturing people in love and enjoy being able to make others feel beautiful and confident through my photos.

Nicole York Photography was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding. From the very start, their communication was top-notch - they were always available via text, call, or email, and made the entire process incredibly easy. The quality of their work was simply wonderful, effortless, and perfect. Nicole even went above and beyond, carrying my train for me throughout the day since I didn't have any bridesmaids. She is truly a hard worker who goes out of her way to make you feel special on your big day. Nicole is a complete sweetheart, and I would recommend her photography services to anyone planning a wedding.

I am a teal obsessed, chocoholic, wife & fur mama who can’t get enough of capturing love stories! Photography has been a passion project for many years but after my own 2014 wedding, I decided to parlay my years of experience in child portraiture and transition to the amazing world of wedding days! It's been 8 years and I never looked back! My goal is to not only capture bright, bold, natural images but truly share in your love story!

Mariel was beyond exceptional! My husband and I met with Mariel 4 days before our wedding for our engagement shoot and was so impressed with her work, we knew she would be a blast to work with for our special day! Her response time with emails/texts was quick and always answered all of our questions. We would absolutely have Mariel shoot pictures for us in the future!

From the moment we met Jay, we knew he was the perfect photographer for our wedding. His communication style is very concise - he clearly knows how he wants each shot to look before even raising his camera. Jay has a truly artistic and creative style, and he uses the environment as a stage to capture stunning, one-of-a-kind images. Throughout the day, he continually praised me for my posing and told me what beautiful pictures I was taking. Jay went the extra mile to make me feel confident and beautiful in front of the camera. Compared to other photographers we researched, Jay's prices are very reasonable, and the quality of his work is phenomenal. He is also lighthearted and fun to be around, which made the entire photography experience a pleasure. We are thrilled with the beautiful memories Jay captured of our special day.

I have been lucky to work with Jessica several times. As a fellow artist that loves the play of light and shade, the sunlight streaming through the trees, the true colors of nature, the way the breeze blows a lock of hair as a groom kisses his bride, I love to see her photography. As a makeup artist I’m also interested in seeing the photos of the faces of the bridal party so I can make sure my craft translates well in pictures, and appreciate when a photographer shares them with me. I still remember a photo from a wedding that was simply the couple seated at their sweetheart table at dinner and photographed from behind through a rustic grey barn door; you couldn’t see their faces but it was so visually beautiful with the grey rough wood juxtaposed with the back of the elegant lace gown as they were holding hands during the reception I still haven’t forgotten it. It was a moment no one else would ever have seen and perhaps the couple may have other forgotten, except Jessica captured that little moment in time. I feel that a couple will treasure the beautiful naturally posed photos she does, but will also especially remember their joy of their wedding day with a photo like that. Jessica is personable, kind, punctual and helps the couples to enjoy the photo taking session. I can’t wait to work with her again because she is so fun, you don’t have to wait a long time for the edited photos, and her work is gorgeous!

My husband Andrew and I know that we are our best and most authentic selves when we’re supported and intentional with our time and each other - especially since the arrival of our daughter. Marriage teaches you a lot of things, and I truly believe that my marriage has taught me how to be a better friend, communicator, and business owner. I get excited about connecting with people, building friendships with my couples, and sharing their stories through imagery.

Awarded Best of Zola
I’ve worked with many different photographers, and in my opinion Cora is one of the best photographers in CT. Her work is exquisite and authentic. Cora and her assistant Jess (also incredible) captured intricate details, memorable moments, and unpredicted candids. My favorite candids of all was one of me dancing with my 98-year-old grandmother. Aside from her impeccable photography skills, Cora is a wonderful person. COVID-19 created a few plot twists for our July 2020 wedding. We had been planning our CT wedding from Colorado (where we reside) and had to jump every hurtle imaginable; state mandates, new venue restrictions, timeline adjustments, COVID tests. Despite it all, Cora was supportive, helpful, and accommodating. She genuinely takes an interest in getting to know her couples and has your best interest at heart. Our wedding day turned out to be better than anything we could have planned and I am so glad I hire Cora as our wedding photographer. I adore Cora and the friendship we built through wedding planning. We plan to hire her for future family formals as our family grows!

Nicole Bushey, Photographer

  • Serves Stafford Springs, CT

Photography, to me, isn’t about stiff poses or rushing through a timeline. It’s about creating space for you to breathe, laugh, tear up, and fully live your day. I care deeply about making you feel comfortable and confident in front of my camera, because when you feel at ease, your images feel natural, elevated, and completely authentic. This isn’t just a job for me — it’s storytelling, legacy, and the privilege of preserving moments that will matter long after the cake is gone and the music fades.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Nicole and her work! Professional and beyond my expectations! She captures whatever it is she’s photographing perfectly. She’s creative and takes control in large group settings, helping everyone know where they need to be. She was a blast to work with and just has a great calm energy. I couldn’t imagine anyone better capturing our wedding day. Hire her!!

Bright Lens Photography was the perfect choice for our engagement photography. From the start, Erika's communication was professional, prompt, and transparent. She made us feel at ease during our engagement photo shoot, guiding us on poses and adjusting my hair as needed. The final photos were fantastic, with beautiful editing and a wide variety of shots. Bright Lens provided us with a complete digital album at a very reasonable price, and the turnaround time was a huge bonus compared to some other photographers we considered.

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.

I'm people-centric which means that, I'm focusing on you, your guests, and the real moments you're sharing together.

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.

I don't even know where to begin - Dani is simply amazing and if it were possible to give her a 10 star rating, I would. She not only captured my husband and I's intimate mountain top elopement, but her and Jed also followed us through out the rest of the day and photographed our reception that we held with family and friends. We are usually pretty awkward in front of the camera, but they made us feel so comfortable (even at 5am in the morning lol) and our photos prove it. Dani puts so much work into finding the perfect elopement locations and the most flattering lighting. My husband and I are BEYOND ecstatic with how our photos turned out - she captured who we truly are and how much love we have for each other. I can never thank them enough for how much work they put into our elopement and reception day. We are so happy to have these memories forever.

It's been 15 years running this small business as a Boston wedding photographer, a New England wedding photographer, working all around the greater Boston area and traveling to destination weddings as well. It's been a crazy ride so far, and I can honestly say I still love what I do! I am so grateful that 400+ wedding couples have trusted me to be a part of their weddings, to document one of the milestone days in their lives, and to create beautiful heirloom albums and artwork they can enjoy for a lifetime. Ultimately, that's what it's all about, serving my clients and creating an amazing experience.

Awarded Best of Zola
We have immense gratitude for Randall and incredible respect for his work! We know we made the right choice selecting him for our wedding. From the very first conversation one year prior, he impressed us by looking up the time of sunset for our fall wedding day. If it wasn't for his planning, we would have started the ceremony later and missed out on daylight photos. Randall captured our inner essence and joy on our wedding day. The gallery of photos he produced tells the story of our special day far beyond the images. He is soft spoken, gentle and unassuming in his manner. We didn't even notice him throughout the ceremony and reception (and that's a compliment). He puts so much time and effort into the planning process that the day is seamless. We had multiple planning conversations, and he rightly insists on gathering information from the bride and groom ahead of time--including a written plan of all groups to be photographed on the actual day. He is a consummate professional and it shows! By the time we met him on the day-of, he already felt like a trusted friend. He knew exactly where and when to photograph us and our guests, and he allowed us to create humorous and unconventional shots as well! We were literally speechless when he sent us finished photos. Everyone who has seen them has also raved about their quality, essence, and creativity. We love them all and we are forced to nitpick in order to select prints. We would choose him all over again!!

Allison is incredible, we highly recommend! Our engagement and wedding photos turned out flawless, and she felt like a true extension of our wedding planning team. From start to finish, she was the epitome of professionalism and her communication and organization made our wedding day flow very smoothly. She made us and our family/friends feel totally comfortable throughout hours of wedding photos and ensured that we got every shot we envisioned. We will definitely be working with Allison again!

I shoot mainly outdoors with natural light but am trained with OCF (off-camera flash) for any low light or indoor locations. I strive to work with my clients not only to give them amazing pictures but also to make their lives as easy as possible. I hope that you reach out and we can chat!

Courtney is fantastic! Obviously her photos are incredible, but beyond that she is just great to work with. She made my fiance and I both feel so comfortable during our engagement shoot- she was great with our dog too who we we included in our photos! Working with her along this whole process has been great- Courtney knows her stuff and has been so helpful with planning and executing everything so far during our wedding planning process. I can't wait to keep working with her! Also for our wedding day- I can’t say enough great things about Courtney. It was like having a friend with me the whole day- she was so amazing at making sure the day went smoothly. And the photos came out absolutely perfect. I will definitely be sticking with her for any of our photo needs in the future!!
