Each wedding marks the start of a family, and they are once in a life time events! So far I have photographed close to hundred weddings. I have the opportunity to create timeless images for my clients that will be valued by generations. That is why I don't believe in third party post-processing, I personally edit the photographs and re-touch the close ups to show my clients in the best light possible.

Awarded Best of Zola
Deva was absolutely wonderful to work with—warm, kind, and truly attentive to our needs throughout the day. She captured our June outdoor wedding beautifully, and the photos exceeded our expectations. We absolutely loved both the images and the album. We’re so grateful to have these memories preserved so perfectly!

YOU'RE GETTING MARRIED. You're about to spend months planning, researching, and investing in a single day that you'll never forget. That's why preserving it is so important. Photography is a way to relive all those fleeting moments, including the ones you missed, over and over. It's important now, and it's foundational to building your legacy. Your wedding photos are not only for you, but for your grandparents and grandchildren. Your wedding day will be celebrated and remembered through the eye of your Wedding Photographer, so choosing someone who fits your vibe and brings out everyone's genuine personality is essential.

Awarded Best of Zola
Chris was such a joy to work with! From our very first meeting before even hiring him, he really spent the time to talk through what our vision was and how we wanted our day to be captured. He was a great support every step of the way for planning as well as on the big day! In addition to being a great listener, Chris has great suggestions on how to plan for photos based on his extensive experience (angles, timing, group shots). Our wedding was a large one, so Chris hired a fantastic second lead photographer and several other photographers throughout the day so our event was seamlessly captured! Another important note - all of our family and other vendors (makeup artists, planners, etc) commented on how great it was to work with Chris, and were excited to work with him on future events - I think this is such an important quality for a photographer, and definitely appreciated how professional and friendly Chris was with EVERYONE! He kept the day moving as it should and captured some unbelievable shots that I revisit on probably a daily basis :) I honestly cannot recommend Chris enough - from his genuine care and support for you through the planning and important day, to the absolutely stunning product he delivers. Thank you Chris for everything!!

WildRoot Moments 
Rating: 5.0 (32 reviews)
Waterbury, CT
  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $4,000

Timeless, editorial imagery with a warm, documentary approach. From the grand, luxurious details to the quiet, candid glances you share when no one’s watching, I’m there to preserve it all with intention. If you’re dreaming of wedding photos that feel both refined and deeply personal, I’d love to bring your vision to life.

If you are looking for THE wedding photographer, trust me, stop here, you found her. And if you are looking for a photo/video team that genuinely cares and will give you the most stunning wedding photos/videos, RUN to Wildroot Moments and The FlameKeepers. Together they are an incredible powerhouse couple duo. My husband and I got married on April 10th in Rhode Island, and I genuinely cannot stop talking about how amazing our experience was from beginning to end. We first booked Wildroot Moments for our engagement shoot, and that alone had us completely sold. Destiny is seriously the sweetest person ever while also being insanely talented and confident in what she does. My (now) husband and I were nervous going into our engagement session because we wore all black and, as a Black couple, finding photographers who truly know how to capture different skin tones without washing people out can be stressful. Destiny NAILED it. The photos were stunning, flattering, elegant, and still felt like us. We left that shoot obsessed with her work. But then came the wedding day… Nothing could have prepared us for how incredible this team was in action. They were everywhere and nowhere at the same time. Aside from taking portraits/family photos, we barely noticed them throughout the day… yet they captured EVERYTHING. Later, while looking through guest videos and behind-the-scenes clips, we kept spotting them in the background running around like ninjas making sure not a single moment was missed. And honestly? They did not miss ONE thing. Destiny and Mac were beyond attentive the entire day. Destiny deserves her flowers because she truly helped run the day. She came prepared, organized, a hype girl, and it honestly felt like working with someone who cared about our wedding as much as we did. Speaking of previews… THE PREVIEWS??? We genuinely fell to the floor. The quality is INSANE. We cannot stop staring at our photos, and neither can anyone else. Every single person we show loses their minds over how cinematic, timeless, and beautiful everything looks. What made the experience even more special though was how personal everything felt. Throughout the whole planning process, Destiny was phenomenal with communication. She gave us resources and truly understood our vision from the start. She was the ultimate hype girl. Mac was also so easygoing and kind during planning calls and on the wedding day itself. In our guest bts videos, you can literally see Mac smilling so genuinly while Destiny focused and hyped up. At no point did we feel like “just another client.” We genuinely felt cared for. And one thing that seriously deserves recognition: our wedding had a very wide range of skin tones. Nobody looked gray, washed out, overexposed, or poorly edited. If you know, you KNOW how hard it can be to find photographers who truly know how to work with diverse skin tones consistently and beautifully. Absolutely mastered it. Booking Wildroot Moments and The FlameKeepers was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. Truly individually talented, but together an absolute dream team. We also loved how human and warm they both were through the entire process. We never felt awkward in front of the camera, and by the wedding day it honestly almost felt like having friends (with communicating headphones lol) there documenting one of the biggest days of our lives with so much care. Truly unforgettable overall.

Hi, I’m Rafael, the owner and creative behind JR Media Solutions. I believe wedding days should feel calm, joyful, and fully lived not rushed or staged. While I’m new to Zola, I’ve spent years photographing and filming weddings across Connecticut and beyond, earning over 100 five-star reviews by being dependable, organized, and genuinely invested in my couples. My approach is simple: show up prepared, stay present, and document your day honestly so you can relive it for years to come.

My fiancé and I were so nervous going into our engagement photos, but we were incredibly lucky to find Rafael. From the moment we started, he made the entire experience feel fun, comfortable, and effortless. He has such a natural way of guiding you through poses and moments that gently push you out of your comfort zone while still feeling completely authentic. When we received our photos, everyone we shared them with was absolutely blown away by how beautiful they turned out. Rafael is truly so talented. Booking him as our wedding photographer shortly after our engagement session wasn’t even a question. We wouldn’t want anyone else capturing our special day! He is incredibly accommodating, easy to work with, and genuinely listens to your ideas and vision. He made us feel supported every step of the way. We can’t recommend Rafael enough!

Hi, it's Jenni, I am a couples and wedding photographer based in Connecticut. I love hikes and adventures, nature is my natural habitat and my biggest dream is to travel the world. I am hopeless romantic and I will probably shed a tear at every wedding I attend or photograph, so if you see me wipe a tear at your wedding no you didn't lol. I am also a dog mom and I love animals in general, my puppy means the world to me! I am a dedicated, passionate, fun and caring person and I put love in everything I do. I can't wait to work with you!

Awarded Best of Zola
Jenni is an absolute gem of a human and a phenomenal photographer. She is so sweet and such a lovely personality. We first worked with Jenni to take our engagement photos, and my husband and I immediately felt comfortable and familiar with her. We are not comfortable in front of the camera at all, but Jenni somehow made us feel like we'd been taking photos together with her for years. After our engagement shoot, I knew Jenni needed to be our wedding photographer. We more or less picked our wedding date based on her availability! A few weeks after booking our wedding with Jenni, she sent us the loveliest care package with a typewriter-written note and a few goodies. She puts so much thought and care into everything she does! On the day of the wedding, Jenni immediately hopped into action. She was patient, kind, and had such confidence in what she was doing (which was so needed, considering you're dealing with not just us as the couple, but our families as well). We were barely past the weekend after our wedding, and we already have sneak peeks! Jenni is a master! Looking at what she was able to capture is truly amazing. I usually do not like looking at photos of myself, but I can't stop looking at these pictures!! I can't believe the gallery she sent is just the sneak peeks - I can't wait to see what else she captured when we receive the full gallery in a few weeks! Jenni is truly the best at what she does. I can't recommend her enough!!

  • Serves Waterbury, CT

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
My husband I decided to elope, planning the whole event in a week. It was important to me to get great photos to share with the friends and family who wouldn't be with us on the day. As soon as I saw Cate Barry's portfolio, especially with the candid photos, I knew that she was the right person to capture the true spirit of the day. Luckily, she was able to squeeze us into her calendar, and our preliminary meetings with Cate were fantastic: she made sure she understood our priorities—super open to who we are and what we care about—and she acted as friend, therapist, and wedding expert in a very frantic time. She even recommended a fantastic officiant who was exactly our speed. On the day, the three of us met up for some outdoor photos before the ceremony, and while I was afraid my husband and I might be awkward or stiff, Cate put us at ease immediately, and we were smiling with natural poses in no time. Then at the venue, Cate both contributed to and captured the joyful, relaxed atmosphere of the day.  We got our photos in record time, and even when we first flicked through the images on my phone over pizza, we could immediately tell Cate had memorialized the magic of the day, from happy tears to spontaneous jumping up and down with our witnesses. It means a lot to have wonderful pictures to share with our loved ones, and we would work with Cate again in a heartbeat.

The final photos are stunning, with a level of detail my husband and I truly value. Beyond the reasonable pricing for a one-hour elopement, what stood out most was how comfortable he made us feel throughout the entire experience.

Trevauhn and his team were nothing short of fantastic and took amazing care of us for our wedding day and our engagement photos. First, they were beyond easy to work with. Not only were they extremely kind and patient, but they had great upbeat energy that made the whole process of hundreds of photos seem like a breeze. They captured every moment perfectly and made sure to accommodate all of our needs. Now the quality? Trevauhn knocked it out of the park. The photos speak for themselves. He caught several angles of each moment and found the best opportunities to fit our pictures seamlessly into the venue and really use it to our advantage. Not only that but everything looked clean and crisp with the ideal vision that we were trying to maintain. He didn't have to do a million crazy edits with lighting either because he and his team were adjusting in the moment for lighting. This team knows what they're doing and they're incredible at it. If you're looking for a high-end, professional, affordable, and fun team to work with for your wedding or event, you don't have to look any further.

Our style is artistic and documentary, and can be described in three words; Sincere, Scenic, and Inspirational. Sincere, we will never ask you to act unnaturally in front of our camera; we will adjust to your personalities and photograph you as you are. Scenic, because we love beautiful landscapes and love to incorporate everyone in such environments. Inspirational, because there is always a new way or a new idea to capture a photo but in the end it's capturing that special moment.

Hi, I'm Stephanie! I specialize in backyard weddings and small celebrations. I connect best with couples who might include their dog in the ceremony, make their day uniquely theirs, and don't sweat the small stuff. A jar of wildflowers is as interesting to me as a perfectly crafted orchid bouquet. I love documenting the small moments and details, and I see beauty everywhere on a wedding day. My face always hurts from smiling so much on my drive home! I know how to take charge for posed portraits (and always do some!) but I prefer to capture moments as they happen. I've been a photographer full-time for over fifteen years.

Stephanie was absolutely AMAZING! If we could give 10 stars we would. During our consultation she was so reassuring and did not mind my many questions (and trust me there were a lot). Our day was so full of love it was overwhelming after the wedding to remember everything. With her artistic eye and ninja like movement she caught it ALL. From the natural blending moments of our families to the personality of both my husband and I together. Five years later we look at pictures or scroll through our wedding book and every happy moment comes flowing back. Thank you Stephanee, you are truly talented.

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,700
  • Serves Waterbury, CT

Full-time wedding photographer currently based in Central Connecticut. I love traveling, Thai food, all dogs, almost every type of music, and pretty much anything related to astronomy. My couples become my friends instantly, no really – as soon as we have our first chat together it’s DONE. BFFs for life. Be prepared for creating secret handshakes, inside jokes, and a ton of memories together!

Kelsey was truly the best person to capture our wedding day, not just because of her amazing photography skills but also because of her effervescent and playful energy that truly made our day so fun. We were able to do our engagement shoot with Kelsey at our wedding venue, and she made us feel so comfortable even though neither my husband or I had much experience getting our photos taken. As soon as we saw the gorgeous photos from our engagement shoot, we knew we had made the right choice. When our wedding day finally came, Kelsey and her second shooter, Zach, were so fun to be around and made everyone in our wedding party and families feel happy and included. Every moment felt celebratory and fun, but they also made sure we stuck to our schedule and got all our key photos done! We are so so happy with how the photos came out. Kelsey captured the real emotions and the love that surrounded us on our wedding day, and I can’t thank her enough for the gift of being able to look back on that day through her photographs.

We are Jasmine Tianna Photography, a wedding photography business located in Connecticut. We believe a couple's love story deserves to be captured in the most beautiful way possible. Recognizing that a wedding is a singular moment in time, we'll capture it in away that envelopes intimacy and romance. Trying to capture every detail with a stylish, journalistic approach so the pictures can be enjoyed for many years to come.

Jasmine was an easy choice to pick. From first reaching out until the end of wedding night, she was always kind, prompt and professional. She did our engagement photos and spent 8 hours with us on our wedding day. Photos from both days turned out ethereal, beautiful and stunning. We are obsessed with them. Me and my now husband are very camera shy and she made us feel and look great. Her photographic eye is really out of this world, she sees the beauty in any setting or back drop and captures it on camera. Her portfolio speaks for itself, I would hire her again without hesitation. Thank you Jasmine!
