Eugene beautifully captured our perfect day! He was very communicative through the booking process and affordable for extremely high-quality photos. Me and my group were unsure of how to pose, but he made us feel at ease and comfortable by talking us through every photo! He made sure to capture every little detail throughout the day. He sent the photos to us within a few weeks after the wedding, and we couldn't be happier with how they came out!

Cate Barry Photography 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,900
  • Serves West Haven, 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
This summer I had the pleasure of having Cate photograph my backyard micro wedding. She was great to work with and made sure to do meetings with us prior to the wedding to plan the photos we wanted and map out the timing of the day. This way it was an extremely smooth process for family photos prior and after the ceremony. Cate made the wedding photo experience so fun and the results were incredible! I couldn’t have asked for better photos. She got me a sneak peek within 24hrs and by 2-3 months our edited gallery was ready. Overall, our wedding moments wouldn’t be what they are without Cate’s amazing photos. I highly recommend her for your wedding.

When I first started wedding photography, I didn’t realize how quickly I would fall in love! Through my clients I have had the pleasure of watching many love stories come to fruition, capturing their most special day. Wedding photography is not just a job, it’s a true passion that I do because I love it. The long wedding days, the planning - I cherish every moment of it!

Awarded Best of Zola
Ephe was the best photographer ever. I was one of the last people in my friend group to get married and I’ve seen some photography disasters happen the day of. Ephe had none of that and all of my friends loved her and her work ethic. She is very punctual and organized. She understood the vibe that I was going for and she had my sneak peeks and all of my wedding pictures edited super quick! I wish I lived closer to Ephe so I could hire her for all of my photography needs.

Awarded Best of Zola
Can not express how much I love the photos from my wedding at St. Patrick’s Cathedral in NYC! Every single image captured the magic, beauty, and emotion of the day in a way that took my breath away. From the moment we booked her, our photographer was an absolute dream to work with so kind, incredibly flexible, and beyond professional. She took the time to understand the importance and sacredness of the venue, navigating everything with such respect and grace. With the hustle and bustle of New York City and a tight timeline, she handled everything seamlessly. She arrived early, stayed on schedule, and somehow made us feel totally at ease the entire time. She gently guided us through poses without ever making anything feel staged or unnatural, and she captured the in-between moments so beautifully. Her ability to adapt to last-minute changes and still deliver the most breathtaking images is truly a gift. She was patient, warm, and genuinely excited for us, which meant the world. I’ll treasure these photos forever. If you’re looking for someone talented, thoughtful, and reliable, I cannot recommend her enough!

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.

On our wedding day, they expertly captured every special moment, ensuring we have beautiful photos to cherish for a lifetime.

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
Stephanie is an unbelievably talented photographer! Stephanie had an amazing ability to capture both the posed and candid moments of our wedding. Her work is absolutely stunning and she is a joy to work with. We cherish our wedding photos so much and could not be happier with the memories of our special day. Following our wedding, we even had Stephanie come back to capture newborn photos! We highly recommend Stephanie to anyone that is looking for a great wedding photographer.

Hi there! My name is Chris Randall. I'm a wedding photographer based in New Haven, Connecticut. I've been photographing weddings for twelve years and have photographed over 100 weddings. I absolutely love capturing the magic that exists between two people on the biggest day of their lives! It’s a responsibility that I don’t take lightly and I see it as an honor.

Chris took photos of our wedding and we can't say enough great things about him. As you can tell from his website, the quality of the pictures he takes is outstanding. We loved how his pictures captured the essence of moments without resorting to excessive editing or effects. What you can't tell from his website is that Chris is great and easy to work with. He was responsive, suggested great locations for a photo shoot, adapted plans to stay on schedule, and was an overall calming presence. We also loved that Chris gave us full rights to our photos, meaning that we don't have to pay to download or print them. Overall very highly recommended!

I’m Rob Skinner, a wedding photographer documenting couples in love throughout Connecticut, New England, and beyond. If you’re looking for a photography experience that is easy and stress-free, then I’m excited to join you on this journey. I’ll record your first day of marriage beautifully with natural prompts and give you timeless wedding photos that will bring you joy for a lifetime.

Rob Skinner Photography was an ideal choice for our elopement at city hall. From the very beginning, Rob’s communication was prompt, clear, and reassuring, making the entire process feel smooth and stress-free. On the day itself, he arrived early and guided us in capturing natural, genuine moments. He helped us pose and move in ways that felt relaxed and authentic. 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. In just one hour, he captured over 1,000 photos, ensuring no special moment was missed. We’re so happy we chose Rob Skinner Photography and would highly recommend him to any couple looking for an exceptional photography experience.

David's career began when he switched majors from graphic design to photography in college. His style of photography is unique, taking advantage of natural light, insisting on quality, and bringing out the best in his subjects. Many years of experience have given him the ability to make the best of his surroundings and create a comfortable environment while managing a shoot.

We recently had the incredible opportunity to work with David as our wedding photographer, and our experience was nothing short of extraordinary. From our initial meeting, David demonstrated a deep understanding of our vision and was genuinely enthusiastic about capturing our special day. His helpfulness and guidance throughout the entire process were invaluable. David also did our engagement shoot, and the photos turned out stunning. He has a remarkable ability to capture the essence of the moment, and those initial photos only heightened our excitement for the wedding day. On the day of our wedding, David’s presence was a true blessing. He kept everyone calm and composed, which is no small feat on such an emotional day. His approach was patient and unhurried, allowing us to fully enjoy each moment without feeling rushed. David’s skill in directing group shots was impressive, ensuring everyone knew where to be and what to do, which made for smooth and efficient photo sessions. One of the things we appreciated most was David’s consideration for our comfort. He allowed us to take breaks when needed, maintaining a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere throughout the day. This thoughtful approach helped us stay refreshed and present, making the entire experience more memorable. The pictures David took were nothing short of breathtaking. Each photo beautifully captured the joy, love, and magic of our wedding day. Rachel, who assisted David, was equally fantastic. Her attention to detail and support throughout the day enhanced the overall experience and ensured everything went smoothly. In conclusion, we cannot recommend David highly enough. His and Rachel’s professionalism, talent, and warm personalities made our wedding day truly unforgettable. We are forever grateful for the incredible photos and the wonderful memories they captured for us. Thank you, David and Rachel, for your exceptional work and dedication.

  • Serves West Haven, CT

Oh, hey! I’m Dana. I am a free-spirit with a true love for connection and raw emotion. I’ve been known to get caught up in the experience and have a passion for storytelling, so my photography is candid and emotive. I’m also a sucker for a gorgeous, natural backdrop so there’s nothing better than capturing an honest moment with a killer landscape. ​ When I don’t have a camera in my hand or a client on the therapy couch, I’m busy being a Mom to twins and wife to my partner, Brandi. You can also find me decorating our home or researching our next spontaneous adventure.

We have been using Dana for about 2 years now, and she has photographed myself and family from fall portraits to a surprise vow renewals and continuously leaves us speechless with every ‘unveiling’. Dana is easy to work with. Her sessions are effortless and honestly most times we all can’t stop laughing. Her eye for detail is spot on and her creativity in the moment is so much fun to be apart of. I highly recommend using Dana for your photography use because you will not be disappointed!

Hey, I’m Alex – a Connecticut-based wedding photographer passionate about capturing the authentic moments you’ll cherish forever. As a husband and father, I know how precious every memory is, and I bring that care to each wedding I photograph. Your big day is more than just an event; it’s a story of love and laughter. So, my goal is to capture it naturally, creating a fun, comfortable atmosphere that lets your true selves shine. And I’m here to make the process enjoyable and deliver photos that exceed your expectations. Now, let’s make magic, together.

Where to even start!! Vaughn was such an amazing photographer and enhanced our wedding day more than we could have imagined. He took the time to get to know us and find out what we were looking for, and then took those ideas and helped create the magical memories we will have forever. Photos were such a stress free part of the day, and this was all because of the relationship Vaughn built with us prior to our wedding day. I could go on and on, but if you are looking for someone to help your vision come true, look no further!

Hiring Eivan’s for our wedding was a great decision! Our photographer Gregory I was professional and FUN! He kept us smiling throughout the day with his quirky personality! My fiancé does not care for photos so I’m happy we had someone working with us who could make him comfortable. He made sure to get multiple images even if it was just “one more”, it was never one more! We had actually hired a different photographer and we replaced him with this company. Worth the stress and money! If I had any tips for the company, it would be to have your photographers give a 30 minute warning before their contracted time is up. Weddings are so busy for the bride and groom, it is very easy to lose track of time. I think clients would appreciate a little heads up just so they can try and capture any photos they may have missed. Other than that, I have ZERO complaints. Such an amazing experience! 10/10 highly recommend :)

In the 20 years that I've been photographing professionally, I’ve honed my skill of knowing when to step in and make things happen, and when to step back and simply *allow* things to happen. Documenting the REAL emotion of the day is how we capture those picture-perfect moments. They happen organically, not by force, and I promise you: we're not going to miss ANY of them. = )

Awarded Best of Zola
Working with Christopher and his team was the absolute best! From the beginning they were so thoughtful and informative every step of the way. Christopher eased our jitters by recommending a fun pre-wedding photoshoot before our rehearsal dinner which we would've never thought to do but absolutely loved. His calming presence throughout the wedding day made it so easy for us to relax in the moment, this sense of calm and joy was perfectly captured in our photos. Following our wedding, we worked with his design team on our wedding album. They too made this part of the process seamless, we were able to make decisions swiftly and with ease because of their expertise and support. We couldn't be happier with the overall experience or results!

Absolutely amazing!! The photographer and videographer made my wedding so special. They were on time and they got right to work. I didn't have to think about poses because they knew exactly how to pose us. They also were super funny and would make us laugh which was great for the photos. Another great thing about them was they made sure to get everyone into the pictures. No one at the wedding was not photographed. Everyone that was at my wedding is in a few photos which is very important. One of my favorite parts of the night was when it started snowing and I asked the photographer if he would be willing to take pictures of us in the snow. He was more then willing. Both him and the videographer out their jackets on and went into the cold and took numerous pictures. They posed us and everything. The photos came out GORGEOUS. Also the trailer and highlight videos? SO GOOD!!!!!! I absolutely love them. Such talent!!! Everyone at my wedding is racing about how great everything came out.

As your lead shooter, he had a passion for photography his entire life, capturing moments around him in the most authentic ways until one day Brittany told him “go full time”, it was insane. He fell in love with wedding photography and the emotion it brought out for everyone involved.

Having a background in hospitality for 20 years Brittany began coordinating the day alongside Mark.

Mark and Brittany are truly exceptional at what they do. My husband and I are not typically in front of a camera, but Mark made us instantly comfortable in a way that allowed him to truly capture the moment between us instead of feeling like models posing for a job. We had a small wedding with no formal wedding planner or runner for the day, but Brittany and Mark helped everything to go smoothly, and we truly couldn’t have done it without them. Beyond all that, the images are truly breathtaking. Mark has an intrinsic ability to scan a space and find the most beautiful piece of it. I have never seen the inside of a train station look so magical! If you choose This Insane Idea for your special day, you will not be disappointed!
