I'm a husband and dad who comes stocked with dad jokes and silly prompts, and yes, they work. Couples tell me I bring a calming presence to the day, so you get traditional portraits and unposed moments that both feel like you.

From the first phone call to the final wedding photos, he was a joy to work with, and his work is nothing less than stellar. Our photos came out beautifully. I look forward to hopefully having him photograph more important moments!!”

“Matt through Enchanted Celebrations really exceeded our expectations. He was a blast to have around, he hyped us up, picked the perfect ways to capture our special day, and overall kept us on track throughout the day. We were so happy with working with him, and everyone at the event has commented on how great the photographer was throughout the event. After getting our photos FOUR DAYS after the wedding, we could not be more pleased! The turnaround on the edited photos was unreal, and the fully edited ones that we received exactly matched our desired look (dark and moody). We loved the way he captured us, our energy and the way that we interacted with each other throughout the day. He really caught "us" in the pictures and we'll cherish these photos forever. Big thanks to Matt and Enchanted Celebration!”

“My partner and I were looking for an affordable, creative photographer who could work with a couple that had no idea what they were doing—and Johnny was absolutely perfect for us! From the start, Johnny was incredibly flexible and made us feel completely at ease on the day of our wedding. Despite us giving him no direction, he managed to capture beautiful, candid shots that we absolutely adore. If you have a specific vision for your wedding photos, I highly recommend sharing it with him—he’s so talented and I’m confident he’ll bring your ideas to life. Even months after our wedding, Johnny was patient and accommodating, re-editing photos to suit our preferences, which we deeply appreciated.

Photography has always been a passion of mine even after I started my career as a science teacher. I wake up everyday and teach 100+ kids in 9th and 10th grade about the wonder and beauty of the sciences. I also get to wake up everyday with a camera in hand, and connect to loved ones starting out on new paths. I have this strong desire to create art and speak the truth of other’s lives. Everyday I have an excitement for what's to come, and who I will be blessed with to capture. What never meant to become a business, slowly turned into this beautiful opportunity to be connected to so many amazing humans and invest in their lives.

“Melanie was the best photographer for our wedding in May 2024 in Boston!!!! She was the perfect combination of professional, fun, on-top of her game, but also super chill and go with the flow. Which is exactly what we were looking for in all of our vendors. She made everyone feel so comfortable and would ask us funny or heart felt questions when we were taking group couple pictures to ensure she captured raw emotion and to keep things interesting. There was never a dull moment. Everyone from our bridal party family came up to me after and said how much they loved Melanie and her team. Couldn't recommend her enough!!!!!!!”

From the very beginning, they were incredibly professional, creative, and genuinely invested in making every moment unforgettable. They went above and beyond our expectations in every possible way. 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. They made us feel comfortable in front of the camera and captured natural, candid moments that we’ll treasure for a lifetime. If you’re looking for a photography and videography team that combines creativity, professionalism, and world-class editing, look no further than Tharun and his team.

With a mix of candid and gentle guiding and prompts we make sure you don't just get great photos, you also have a lot of fun.

Maegan and Joe are an amazing team who stayed in touch throughout the planning process and answered every question we had, making the whole experience stress-free. On our wedding day, they worked together seamlessly to capture the moments that mattered most, and their calm presence helped everyone feel at ease.

Hi! I'm Nina! I'm an ex-Brooklynite residing in the beautiful hills of New England. I'm an analog (meaning film) and digital photographer specializing in documentary, editorial, and photojournalistic-style wedding photography. That means more images that are true to you and the moments you live, and fewer posed ones -- though we'll make sure to capture some of those too! With a background in commercial photography I am well versed in creating magical photo sets that capture the grandest and the most subtle moments of your day, and everything in-between. Your pictures are going to be the talk of the town!

Awarded Best of Zola
“I want to start out by saying that I am horrible at having my picture taken. My go to is to make a funny face or pull a funny pose so I don't have to be taken seriously. The idea of wedding photos has always made me cringe, and so when we were planning our elopement, I knew it would take a very specific photographer to make me feel at ease enough to get decent photos. Nina did more than get "decent" photos - she took some of the best photos pf me and my wife that we've ever taken. In prep she eagerly looked through our reference photos and made sure to understand what we liked about them to make sure she could incorporate that into everything. On the day she came extremely prepared, but also was very open to us improvising and changing things up based on timing/our energy levels. She made us feel utterly at ease, hyping us up when we needed a boost of energy, and blending into the background to capture more intimate moments. Some of my favorites photos are ones where I didn't realize she was even taking our picture in the first place. This documentary style is exactly what we wanted and she executed it perfectly! She was somehow able to make us look cooler than we are, and captured the day so beautifully. Somehow even my "funny" poses she managed to make look extremely romantic. Nina felt like more of a friend than a photographer on our wedding day - allowing her to capture a side of us I never thought was possible.”

Hi. I'm Sylwia, wedding photographer based in Connecticut. I believe that there is beauty to be found in everyone and everything. Each wedding is full of its own special moments and my aim is to create beautiful and intimate imagery that you can treasure forever. My work is inspired by natural light, nature, thoughtful details and people who are deeply in love.

Awarded Best of Zola
“Sylwia has been a saving grace since day 1. She is not only a photographer with incredible talent, she is also a fantastic adviser and confidante when it comes to all things weddings. Her bright and timeless photos are just the beginning when it comes to helpful she is leading up to and the days surrounding the wedding. I and my family absolutely loved her charm and support throughout the entire wedding process. My only regret is not getting a photo with her at the wedding. Anyone would be lucky to have her as a vendor and colleague in any walk of life.”
