About Hayden Budd Photo + Film
Hayden Budd Photo + Film
Hello, I'm Hayden. I've been photographing weddings across Connecticut and New England for over a decade, more than I can count at this point, but each one still feels special. I take a hybrid approach to photography with both digital and film photography for weddings. Every wedding is different, but the best ones share something in common: they feel authentic. My job isn't to stage perfection; it's to document the real, beautiful, chaotic, joyful moments that make your day yours.
Hybrid film + digital coverage! I shoot both because they each do something the other can't. Film gives you that timeless, nostalgic quality, the kind of images that feel like they could've been taken in any decade. Digital gives me the flexibility to capture every moment without compromise. Together, they tell your story more completely than either could alone.

Hire Hayden!!!
Not only is Hayden the MOST talented photographer (I mean, look at the results...), but he's the best person to have on your special day. He was kind, communicative, and professional leading up to the event and made sure that all of my ducks were in a row. On the day of, he was the best calming presence to have around. He ran ahead of schedule, kept everyone accountable, and had a smile on his face the entire time. Do yourself a favor and hire him as your photographer!
Top tier wedding photographer!
Hayden was an absolute dream to work with! He kept the whole photography portion of the wedding day so easygoing while getting every photo we asked for without it feeling rushed. He helped my husband feel comfortable in front of the camera and truly felt like a built-in friend on our wedding day! His talent is unbelievable and he is so fun to work with! 100% we recommend Hayden, his work is beautiful!
AMAZING experience!
My husband and I hired Hayden for both our engagement shoot and our wedding and we cannot recommend him enough! We felt so comfortable with him shooting for both events. On our wedding day he quickly got through the obligatory shot list (I have a huge family!) without us feeling rushed, but he primarily captured so many beautiful candid moments throughout the whole day. We are in love with the photos we received and are so grateful we have them to look back on for years to come!
Response from vendor•Nov 12, 2025Thank you so much, you're kind words mean the world! 🫶🏻Best Photo- and Videographer around!
Budd is Best! Hayden is communicative and readily goes out of his way to adjust to and help you make excellent records of your engagement, wedding, and other events as well. He is excellent at matching the vibe of a wedding as well as applying his style to his artwork as well. He is easy to talk to and is a calm presence on the big day. You will love working with him!
