I want to create more than just pretty pictures, I want to capture the emotion, the nervous excitement, the joy, of your special day. This is the launch of your new life together. God has created you to be united as one. I want to create heirlooms that strengthen those bonds.

Awarded Best of Zola
Working and planning with Trevauhn was really fun. I was able to create a custom photo package with him that suited my needs and budget - please reach out to him, you will NOT be disappointed. I showed him samples of other wedding photography that I liked, and told him what I wanted and didn't want, and he heard me and made sure we got the shots I wanted, in the style I wanted. He also provided almost half of the photos electronically (if not more) the NEXT DAY. He stayed later than contracted, and really went above and beyond for us. I would not hesitate to refer Trevauhn to even the most particular of brides, and I would definitely rely on him to capture more of my life's special moments in the future.

Rayleen and Tim shot my wedding in August. I feel so lucky to have been able to share such a special day with them. They truly did not disappoint. They were not only easy to work with but they were fun as well. We met at a bridal show and they really stuck out to me. We felt confident in choosing them after our very interesting dinner experiences. They answered all of our questions even though admittedly, I had a lot. I can't express enough what kind souls they have. They are in it to make your day truly amazing. Their passion is shown in their breathtaking talent.

This little hobby of mine that started back in 2015 has become an absolute dream come true!! Photographing weddings is my second favorite part of this job, with meeting the most amazing couples being the first! I knew from the start that I wanted my business to be focused on creating an amazing wedding experience that caters to each couple in a unique and memorable way! I pour myself into each couple because that's what a wedding day should be about! I also love Ninja Warrior, Starbucks, and my sweet kitty Feather!!

Chelsea and Ryan were amazing! Very flexible when I decided to add more coverage time like a month before. And the quality of the photos is just amazing! And the speed with which we got our photos back was also great! We didn’t have to wait long at all to be able to relive the best day of our lives through the photos! It’s so difficult to choose my favorites! They are honestly just the nicest humans and it was amazing to work with both of them. I have nothing negative to say! You can’t go wrong if you choose to work with them! I promise you will be so pleased with the outcome!

Hey friends! What is the value of a photograph? Well, if it’s art, then its value is determined by the status and popularity of the artist, in most cases anyway. If it’s that one moment at your wedding when your fiancé reads your love note for the first time, sheds that one tear they swore wouldn't happen, then it’s a moment you need captured and archived, because its value is incomprehensible. I’m going to capture that moment and preserve it forever you! Hi! My name is Mark! I'm a wedding photographer in Rhode Island and I'm really excited you're here. Send me a message, I'd love to chat with you about your wedding vision.

I’ve worked with Mark for several weddings and I recommend him highly. As a makeup artist I remember those fellow vendors that made my job easier, but most importantly, the day smoother and more fun for those getting married! He is friendly, calm, professional, unobtrusive and makes everyone feel at ease. I have heard from those that hired him how wonderful he was. He is confident in his craft and with people. It feels like he genuinely likes people and what he does. When I see his work, the colors are as vibrant as they were in real life and my makeup on clients is not “washed out”. In addition to his positive demeanor that makes him a pleasure to have around, and the makeup looking beautiful in his photos, I believe his photography style captures the spirit of the day and brings people closer to reliving the excitement and happiness of such a beautiful life event.

Hamden, CT
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,900

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
I cannot recommend Cate enough! I hired Cate not once but twice to photograph our ceremony and our reception. The pictures are not only stunning, but they capture that incredible emotion of this once-in-a-lifetime moment. Plus, my husband is not a fan of getting his picture taken and he raves about how easy it was for him. Cate and her team is incredible, end your search here.

Booking Emily as our wedding photographer was the best decision we made for our wedding! From the very beginning, she was extremely responsive and obviously dedicated to capturing our vision for the day. She’s so lovely and easy to work with, and genuinely cares about getting the best shots possible. Our engagement photos are BEAUTIFUL, and she maintained constant communication throughout the whole process. We had a sample portfolio of photos from the wedding literally the next morning, and we are SO excited to see how the rest turn out. I highly HIGHLY recommend Emily to anyone looking for a wedding photographer - she is simply the best!

I am animated, honest and fun! I am a mom, wife, teacher, avid runner and overall a very passionate person. I love my family, anything nautical and really enjoy a great glass of bubbly at the end of a long day! I'd love to meet you!

Erica was an amazing photographer! Neither my fiancee or I are used to or comfortable often in front of the camera, before our wedding we had limited photos but now we have over 1600 from our special day! Erica was not only a photographer but she really helped us with the day moving slowly, adjusting to family needs, and was extremely perceptive of our wants, and helped adjust timeline without stressing us out when stuff out of hands would occur. All of the photos are FANTASTIC, and my only issue is trying to limit them down to a reasonable number for an album and framing.

At every wedding, I'm constantly alert to the small moments that make a day unique: a father's kiss, an heirloom kerchief, a ring bearer getting licked by the groom's dog. I see beauty everywhere on a wedding day. I spend the entire day smiling. My face usually hurts on my drive home ;)! Although I'm primarily photojournalistic in style, I know how to take charge for posed portraits. I've been a photographer full-time for over ten years, and I can be quick and efficient for group shots, so you can get back to your party! I also love sneaking you two away for some lovely portraits when the light is perfect.

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.

On the day of our wedding, Max was very professional, quick, and efficient. There were a few changes in our schedule that we made, based off of the flow of the day, and Max was completely adaptable and happy to work with us and give us what we wanted. We also got hundreds of pictures to choose from, which we were pleasantly surprised by, based off of how quick he works. We also appreciated that he put together a payment plan with us, instead of asking for all the money at one time. We would gladly work with him again any time.

Alicia was an absolute joy to work with! If you are looking for a photographer in the New England area then look no further! I found her about 3 months before our wedding and we are so glad that we did! You can tell that she loves what she does! From allowing our nieces to 'help' her take a few photos, looking back through the shots to make sure that we got all of the ones we wanted, making sure we got to recreate an important photo, and helping make sure that the day went smoothly, she did it all with a smile on her face. We even got a few sneak peek photos back just 24 hours after the end of our wedding! We absolutely love the ones we've seen so far and can't wait to see the rest! You will not regret booking Alicia to photograph your big day!

Hi I'm Jackie, and I literally love my job! I’m a New England-based photographer for the last 18 years. I have to admit though, I love taking this one woman show on the road and travel makes me the happiest. I have been lucky enough to shoot destination weddings in England, Iceland, and Alaska. I would describe my photography style as very laid back and natural. The little in between moments make for the best photos, and I’m not about capturing awkward prom poses and forced smiles. I want the real stuff - the stuff that’ll make you laugh till your cheeks hurt and will make your heart beat faster.

Jackie was the best to work with. I'm not huge on being photographed, but she was great at making us feel comfortable. She was also easy to get in touch with, responding to emails within a few days. I'm glad we did an engagement shoot to get to know her a little before the wedding day and help ease the photography anxiety. We got a handful of sneak peek shots a few weeks after the wedding, which was exciting, followed by the full set of photos a few weeks after that. The photos are beautiful and capture our day perfectly. I don't even remember seeing her at the ceremony I was so focused on everything else, but she captured it and all our emotions beautifully. She also was very good at getting through the portrait photos quickly, as I had a lot of family members to move around. Very happy to have worked with her.

My name is Jonathan Henderson, Photography became a passion of mine while being involved in the school news paper at my high school.

Elegant Production Photography job is to get you to smile, set aside worry and enjoy what is happening right now in this moment. To feel comfortable about you and your choices. My goal is to produce at my very best, I aim to please from start to finish your wants and needs on your special day. It's here that I say thank you for being who you are and for choosing Elegant Production Photography.

I had the pleasure of having him as my photographer and I must point out his talent. I think all of us have been to events where it’s all pose pose pose switch pose pose - which is fine. But he captured life- he captured the moments of my wedding. The pictures have facial expressions because he took the pictures in a natural state. He was able to create a still frame of moments that now i can recall for the rest of my life. The whole experience was warm and organic- we communicated prior and he guided me through the plan. I highly recommend him.

Hey! I'm Amanda. I’m a mama to Loretta Grace & Amelia Faye, wife to John & friend to YOU!! I love natural posing and I am a true candid photographer. Prompting you to do the silliest things, knowing you think I’m crazy, and then showing the end result is one of my favorite things ever. I take a lot of pride in my work, my business, and the overall customer service I provide my clients. It’s important to me that you feel heard, seen, and respected. I spend my free time Diamond painting, listening to true crime, and eating way too much sushi.

I highly recommend Loretta Grace Photography, LLC. Our original photographer was under the weather but she was able to coordinate with Loretta Grace Photography. You know someone is talented at their trade when a colleague recommends them! Additionally, the owner of Loretta Grace is very professional and made things run smoothly. Our photos came out great and she truly captured all the pinnacle moments of the ceremony and reception.

I’m a husband, a dad, and a photographer. I love spending time with my family and cannot get enough of my kids. If I could dance and be silly with them all day long, that’s what I’d do. It could be the Frozen soundtrack or 90’s hip-hop, either will work. I’m easily lost listening to music (I use to be a battle DJ). Exploring and be adventurous are good things. I’m always thinking of the next destination and where we can go. It doesn’t have to be a big trip. It could be down a country road, driving by the horse farm, around the corner from my house. I’m a dreamer.

Awarded Best of Zola
My wife and I first met Tim to do an engagement shoot back in the fall of 2019. Having an unexpectedly long engagement and multiple wedding dates due to the pandemic, we were able to have our dream wedding weekend this past May and Tim played a massive role in not only making this happen but capturing the weekend in its entirety for us to cherish and remember. Tim was exceptionally professional in working with us during the chaos of rescheduling not once, but twice and we are so fortunate to have worked with him. He is extremely talented behind the camera and just a great guy all around -- he has the ability to truly ‘improv’ and make quick changes on the fly based on his surroundings and the changing light that he is working with, which makes for a fun, dynamic experience as opposed to very static and staged pictures. He is also just very amicable and easy to get along with, which makes the entire experience that much better. We could not be happier with how our engagement and wedding photos turned out and recommend Tim to anyone!

Growing up near cameras, flashes and lenses, my father was a photographer for a newspaper, and I loved developing photos with him in his darkroom. For the last few years, I have launched CC Garvie Photography and could not be happier--I love it ! Every new project is another exciting adventure, as I continue to develop my vision. I love capturing those precious moments, so we can look back one day and say, "wow look at that, remember when we took that photo?" That is photography to me, "preservation". And once you look back at those memories--the warm and fuzzy feelings we get in our hearts--it is priceless. Let me do that for you.

My husband and I hired Cece for our September wedding and we could not have been happier with her services and her talent! Our photos came out beautiful! She was very communicative with us, professional, and so easy to work with. Honestly, if we ever need professional pictures down the road it will be with Cece.

Our favorite photos are the ones that show your true selves, the ones where you are caught off guard, where you aren't paying attention to us running around, hiding behind bushes to get the frame, laying on the ground to change the angle. When we aren't taking photos we are dreaming of taking photos. We're married! We have a few kids too! We're creative, quirky, lovers of inspiration.

I don’t even know where to begin. To put it simply, Julianna and Noah are the BEST! They literally do it all - from wedding pep talks, jokes to keep you laughing through the stress of the day, managing our rather large family for photos, keeping everything fun and enjoyable, to creating insanely beautiful and unique photos. We couldn’t have asked for a better team to work with or for more incredible photos to remember our special day. We hope to get the chance to work with them again in the future!

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!

Hello and thanks for stopping by! My professional career as a Connecticut wedding photographer started nearly 20 years ago after attending photography school in Vancouver. I returned home to Milford, CT in 2000, started the business, and have been capturing wedding stories ever since!

My husband and I were so lucky to have Kevin at our wedding. He is a delight to work with, came up with ideas for our portraits and was a pleasure to have around. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. We have only gotten a few photos back because we were only married 2 weeks ago, but I have no heistation in recomending him highly and without delay! He has a fresh, relaxed style. We were more interested in the "Money Shots" and candids than anything formal. Kevin did do some formal portait shots, so don't think that he won't if you want that, but we are really looking forward to our photos. He was wonderful to communicate with and could ot have been easier to work with. His prices are reasonable. You will be a lucky couple indeed if you can secure his services! Do not hesitate.

Shari (a west coast girl) and Jason (an east coast guy) began their photography careers in 2001 after meeting at a small art school in Western Massachusetts. From there, they went on to assist various commercial photographers in New York City where they eventually explored the world of wedding and portrait photography. At that time, wedding photography was especially traditional. Many wedding days were all about staged moments or re-enactments. However, a few studios in Manhattan were beginning to experiment with a more editorial and photo-journalistic approach, which immediately appealed to the young photographers.

We had the pleasure of working with Eivan’s for our wedding day. We got married April 23, 2022. I would recommend working with them. We booked Eivan’s a year in advance and had zero issues with communication and getting our questions answered which is great. We had two photographers assigned to us and they were both fantastic. They had assigned them about a month in advance. I was able to speak with both about a week later which was helpful. We confirmed locations and times with no issues at all. The process was nice and easy. The day of the wedding Luba met with the bridal party at one location and Gilbert met up with my husband and his groomsmen at the venue. They were able to capture all the memories on our special day. The one thing I would recommend, which Luba went over with me, make a list of what types of pictures/poses you would want. I got a little overwhelmed, but they were able to help and guide us. We got our profile with proofs about 3 weeks later. The pictures look fantastic. We are currently in the process of picking our photos for the album. We cannot wait for our pictures! Eivan’s has been a fantastic company to work with from start to finish. Thank you for capturing our special day.

More than a decade ago, two sisters - knew there had to be a better way to allow talented photographers and videographers to focus on what they do best -- create gorgeous art -- while providing couples with better support in the planning process. Together, they created an all-inclusive, stress-free environment where couples can choose from talented local photographers and videographers and work with a small team of planning experts equipped and eager to make everything a success. With the pressure gone, you can truly enjoy your big day. Relax and rest assured that all the emotional and moments will be documented with unmatched quality.

After being given a long list of wedding photographer vendors from our venue, Once Like A Spark really stood out to us not only because of their name but also because their portfolio of pictures was exactly the vibe we were looking for in our wedding photos. This company was extremely easy to work with and their communication was awesome! They have different team members designated for each stage of planning so you know you’re getting the attention you need during a stressful time. We used OLAS for our September 2023 wedding. We opted for a second photographer after originally booking only one and they made the addition seamless to our contract! You are able to choose your primary photographer and we chose Matt (a former Bruins photographer, which my husband loved :)) and he could not have been more professional and focused the day of the wedding! Our second photographer was wonderful too! Both were detail oriented and made us so excited to see the shots they got! We received our gallery 5 weeks after the wedding, which was earlier than we expected, and were totally blown away! Our photographers nailed it! We cannot recommend OLAS enough! 10 out of 10 experience!

It sounds cheesy but I love capturing authentic and candid moments and giving you photos that you can look back on and love; I've been photographing for over 20+ years. I never realized (until going full-time with photography) that photography has always been such a present part of my life; I love documenting these moments and having them to look at later. I notice all of the small details, the exchange of smiles during a ceremony, or the look in your partner's eye when they see you for the very first time walking down an aisle. I'll capture it!

We used Jen for our “rewear the dress” photoshoot and had a great experience. She was flexible with scheduling and was great communicating both before and after the shoot. She offered a fun and fresh approach, and made us very comfortable. She took the reins to get some great and creative shots, but also made sure we incorporated all the shots we wanted as well. She got us sneak peek peeks so quickly! We had a lot of great laughs, and look forward to using her again.

I take a documentary-style approach to my weddings. Roaming with a camera, I capture the candid moments and small details that make your wedding unique to you, while making sure to set aside time for a few special portraits.

We found Stephanie through her past work at the venue we got married and we just fell in love with her photos can capture the feeling in the air and the stories narrating the big day. Four years from that beautiful day, we can still savor the small moment she captured and reminded us how much fun we had. Stephanie is very easy to work with and she works with the flow of our personality. Commutative throughout the whole process so you feel well taken cared of. Under her lense, we feel and look like us! She is very detail oriented and arrives ahead of time to get familiar with the venue to get inspiration for the event.

Hi, I’m Isaac. In my world, light is everything. The cool ambient hues at dawn, hinting at what the day may bring. Golden sun rays catching particles through a tree as friends gathers to celebrate. A Cotton candy sunset peppered by patio string-lights as a DJ plays my favorite song. We all have timeless memories logged in our minds. For me, they are based in a language of light. As a wedding photographer, this deep connection to special lighting helps me produce dynamic visual stories of romance, personality and beauty.

Awarded Best of Zola
Overall I would say Isaac and Love Knot Photography are just what I was hoping to find in a wedding photographer. Someone who is very creative, friendly, organized and experienced. I could totally trust he would see to it that my photos were taken care of in every way possible. The standard photos you would expect at a wedding and unique photos that were original to our seashore location all turned out great! The photos started as we were getting ready. Isaac took some beautiful shots of the wedding dress and important jewelry I was wearing. Abstract moments before the ceremony were a blur in my mind and it was so fun to relive the events through the behind the scenes photos. Isaac and his team got some great photos of all the little ceremonies we had scripted for the ceremony program as well as the games and activities during the reception. Taking different ideas and types of shots for the sunset photos was one of my favorite parts of the day. For me it was a chance to get away from the party for a moment and fun to work with Isaac one on one and see the ideas he had for taking some photographs that will be special forever. During our sparkler grand exit, Isaac was very helpful in organizing our guests. As well as my husband and I. The photos turned out very romantic. Some of my favorites of the whole day.

Cannot say enough of the best things about Randall, and have already recommended him to wedding guests who have asked for him! We selected Randall after reviewing dozens of different photographers, we were extremely picky and looking for someone who matched our attention to detail, but had the artistic and empathetic sense to capture the best moments. The quality and style of his images stood out from the crowd of wedding photographers. We were looking for a candid-style wedding photographer with a relaxed style that’s natural and sophisticated. Randall’s vibe aligned exactly with what we were looking for. After meeting with him a couple times over the phone, it was obvious we had found a great match, both in terms of style and personality. The connection and ease we found with Randall shows through in the final product. We are generally not seeking “cheesy photo moments” and have a tendency to strike a pose when there’s a camera. Randall knew exactly how to make us feel like we were just hanging out with a friend. We also did an engagement shoot, which at first we were doubtful about. At Randall’s suggestion, we went ahead with it. I’m so glad we did, as it was useful to practice posing and working together ahead of our wedding. We have the most beautiful and unrushed photos from that exciting time right before the big day. It’s a truly unforgettable and unique time between engagement and marriage and now we have beautiful mementos of that time. On the wedding day, the pressure was on, but no pressure seemed too great for Randall! Randall was not only our photographer, but acted as our wedding day planner and manager, directing other vendors and even the venue staff itself. I do NOT envy Randall’s job. He had to deal with all our lofty expectations, direct the other vendors and venue staff, manage the bride and groom family dynamics, deal with a wedding party that was enjoying the preparation process, and found key and natural moments with all the most important people in our lives. We recommend Randall to all our friends and family and look forward to having Randall capture the most important future moments of our life together.

Hey, I'm Mary! It's nice to meet you. Summing up who I am in an "about me" is always difficult. What you must know: (1) I'm a nerd. If you want to talk video games, LOTR or Doctor Who, we HAVE to sit down for a bourbon or a coffee. (2) Yes, I will be out on that dance floor with you snapping away while joining in on the fun. And (3), while I'm a photographer first, supporting you during the planning process feels crucial to me - from building a timeline to having your back any way I can.

From the first phone call, I knew we'd found something special in Mary. Her warmth only equals her professionalism. I can't tell you how many photographers we spoke to before meeting her, but now, sitting with our album in front of us, I know finding her was worth the struggle. Her photos are gorgeous and I can feel myself back in these moments as I look through them. There was a serious hiccup during our wedding day where one of my grandparents was severely late which ended up pushing the entire rest of the day back almost an hour. Mary remained so cool and collected (unlike myself) and quickly worked with the staff at the venue to ensure we would have time for all of the photos we'd planned and still enjoy our time with our guests for the rest of the evening.

Working with Jon was easily one of the best decisions we made during our wedding process. We had something fall through and were panicked looking for a new wedding photographer just 4 months before our wedding date. Jon was quick to respond to our inquiry and excellent at communicating throughout the entire process. I was referred to Jon from a colleague who used him for a beachy family photo shoot in Middletown. Jon proved himself to be excellent working with kids and also photographing our beloved golden retriever. I still don’t know how he was able to get the littles smiling and laughing in all the photos. He had just the right touch of friendliness but also efficiency. He utilized every minute he had, as did his 2nd shooter as well! Not only was Jon’s personality and work ethic excellent.. but his photos are just amazing. There was not a single picture I didn’t like. Each picture was edited perfectly and not over-processed. I personally don’t love when wedding all photos are over-edited and bleached white. He got the perfect blend of dramatic lighting and light/bridal-y. Bonus- he is extremely skilled working in BW images. We had a severely windy wedding ceremony and the movement he was able to capture in the images was just incredible. If I could give more than 5 stars for Jon I would! He sent us our gallery back in a timely manner and took the time to organize the 1,500 photos into different categories. He was worth every penny! We will definitely be using Jon in the future for our family photos!

Lindsay and Nathan are absolutely amazing. They are talented, professional, and kind. I seriously do not even know where to begin because if I could give them more than 5 stars I would. When I first started looking for photographers & videographers, I was overwhelmed by the choices and the costs. I loved Lindsay's light and airy style, all her work was romantic and beautiful to look at. I contacted her hoping that she would have our wedding date available, and immediately she responded and answered all of my questions. It quickly became clear to me that I found the photographer I wanted for our wedding, and choosing Lindsay and Nathan was easily one of the best decisions we made. Leading up to our wedding, Lindsay was responsive and eager to chat with me. She helped me with our timeline and cared about the things that were important for us. I wanted beautiful photos of course, but I also wanted things to run efficiently because we were planning to take the majority of photos prior to the ceremony so that we could join our own cocktail hour. Guys - Lindsay and Nathan were a machine!! They were incredibly efficient at organizing our bridal party and families. We also received many compliments from our families and friends who have been in other weddings on how Lindsay and Nathan streamlined the entire family & bridal party portrait process. I also saw Lindsay walking around early getting the lay of the land before she was scheduled to be on site, which I thought spoke well to who she is and how much she cares about what she does. After the Wedding was over, we received our video and photo gallery very quickly and we were blown away. I could not believe how fast they got all of that content to us and how stunning the photos were. Lindsay and Nathan definitely put a lot of thought into capturing your special day, all while helping it to run smoothly. Plus, they seem enjoy themselves in the process! I will continue to stay in touch with Lindsay on social media, and we very much look forward to working with her again as our family changes and grows. Lindsay and Nathan, thank you so much!

Heather is amazing!! She was so warm and friendly from our very first call and made us feel so comfortable. Her professionalism shone through in every interaction, but her passion made sure it never felt like she was just doing her job. The day we did our engagement shoot, it was absolutely freezing and we were right on the water. Heather never complained once about the weather, and she made the situation work to our advantage! I hate having my photo taken, and while I was uncomfortable at first, Heather was very patient and soon I felt completely normal. She was able to capture our personalities so well and get amazing shots while never making us feel like she intruded. We loved working with her so much, we wanted to book her for our wedding before we even saw the final shots from the engagement shoot! After seeing the final edits, we knew we had made the right choice. Heather sat with us on a zoom call to go through her top choices from the engagement shoot to get our reactions and feedback, so she can tailor her work for the wedding day to make sure she captures what we want and how we want it. We cannot wait to have her capture our special day!

Becky and her team were awesome, warming, and professional the whole time we worked with them. Our engagement photos came out beautiful despite ending up raining that day which Becky thought ahead and had us borrow a cute umbrella for the occasion. On the wedding day, the whole team was punctual and had such positive energy that kept going throughout the whole day. We got our wedding photos a little later than expected due to unforeseen circumstances but we were notified every step of the way and oh my gosh they came out beautifully and I’m obsessed!

If you’re thinking about working with Jess from Willow and Grace, I can tell you from personal experience you can stop looking now. Here are some reasons I’m so glad I did. I’ll start by mentioning I’m huge into having photos taken. I’ve worked with MANY over the years of my adult life, and now I don’t want to work with anyone but Jess. First she’s done multiple photo shoots for me. I’ve loved her work she’s put out over the years. So for my wedding it was our first time working together. I knew the pictures was one area I didn’t want to skimp out on. Jess over delivered and captured so many amazing shots. I’ve also done a boudoir photo shoot as well, and it wasn’t my first one, but I can say I felt so comfortable and not rushed at all through the process. From picking out outfits and complete discretion to the creative poses so I would feel the best giving this surprise gift to my husband. She worked with my timeline and set the right expectations the entire time!!! I also did a mini shoot - which is probably some of my absolutely favorite family photos I’ve ever had done. She got all the kids to smile and be comfortable .. that is not easy when working with teens. One more thing I should mention is that she is able to work with a budget. There are times when I can purchase the Biggest package and other times I just can’t , and either way I’ve walked away happy. I’ve worked with others when budget has been an issue and I’ve always just felt disappointed and that I’ve missed out. I never feel that way with Jess. I should wrap up by circling back to wedding photos since this is a wedding site! This was both of our second weddings, we were blending a family and having our wedding mid pandemic. We had a backyard wedding it was small and intimate but fun and exciting. It was also rainy and cold (super random cold day after so many warm ones, typical wedding day stress) Jess was attentive to the pics I wanted we did very non traditional ones so we could spend at much time with our loved ones as possible. She encouraged photos throughout and was on site even longer than she stated she would be to get all the best shots!! We have thoroughly enjoyed working with Jess at Willow and grace and will continue to for many many years to come!!!

Awarded Best of Zola
There are lots of good vendors out there, but there are very few FANTASTIC ones. Cassie + Alex are two of the few. Even after being married a few years, we are still in touch with them and honestly feel like WE were the lucky ones to have them work with us. There was a decent amount of day-of travel and lots of logistics we had to hammer out with them and they could not have been more accommodating to us. Of course they have their style, but Cassie + Alex take a generous amount of time to REALLY get to know you and what you are hoping to capture with their photos. Take them up on their charcuterie/dinner invite and I promise you you will leave feeling like you have two new friends attending your wedding- who also happen to be amazingly talented photographers. These are the type of people who not only remind you to slow down and enjoy your big day by forcing you to stop and take in certain moments; but also notice that you haven't eaten and will go grab you some snacks in between pictures. You will trust them enough to safeguard heirloom cake toppers, but also be impressed in their problem solving skills if someone starts eating your cake before you take your cake cutting pic (true story they are magicians with camera angles). Cassie is especially good at wrangling family and friends for group pics- and Alex is an absolute ninja with the dance floor candids. In terms of delivery of goods, who delivers you sneak peeks of your gallery in a blog the NEXT DAY? Cassie + Alex. The vendors they work with for your prints, albums and even the flash drive you get with all of your images are the best quality and worth every penny. Lastly and most importantly- they are the creators of your memories. Having lost some some family members since our wedding, the pictures we have from our wedding that truly captured their spirits, celebrating in such joy, have turned out to be our biggest surprise investment. At the time the thought would have never crossed my mind, but today some of their pictures are among my most prized possessions. I truly could go on and on about these two- but go ahead and meet them yourself- and you will totally get what I mean.

Every couple's love is unique and wonderful, and this team wants to give them a collection and an experience they'll remember and cherish forever.

We had a fantastic experience with Rebecca & Ilia shooting our engagement photos and our wedding. My husband and I are both very silly people and do not do the best with posed pictures, but they coached us through the poses and made us feel comfortable immediately. They struck the perfect balance between being casual, professional, and friendly. Their intake form and communication was incredibly helpful, as it helped me to figure out the vibes I wanted and the moments and people I wanted to capture most. On the wedding, we had to contend with flash flooding and an impending thunderstorm. They worked hard to scope out the best spots to take pictures, quickly get all the important portraits when there was a pause in the pain, and captured lots of little moments that we weren't able to see ourselves. My favorite moment was right before the first look - I was incredibly stressed and they helped me to take a breath and encouraged me to forgot about the cameras and just be present in the moment. When we got to the end of their allotted time, we wanted to extend their time by an hour because we were running behind. They were so kind and accommodating, extending their time at the last minute. Before they left, they made sure to ask if there were any pictures I needed or wanted. They were incredibly affordable and the quality of the photos were amazing. I couldn't recommend them more!

Trust and comfortability make the dynamics between the client and the photographer create magic. Like looking for the perfect pair of shoes to an outfit. It makes you look great, feel confident, and represent your style.

Tell Your Stories went above and beyond! My first impression working with Charlie is that he is extremely communicative. Him being proactive really put my nervousness about photography at ease. Secondly, I feel like Charlie captured us perfectly. I get really nervous about photography because I don't know how to pose, so I was expecting it to be an awkward shoot. But wow! Everything felt very natural, and Charlie just knew when to take the shots. We had a planned to take pictures in a park and those turned out wonderful, but Charlie also asked if we could stop downtown for a bit to take a few more pictures. We have a small downtown and absolutely adore our city, and I think those pictures turn out just a good if not better than the location we had initially chose. There was no doubt in our minds that we wanted him to work our wedding as well. And of course thus far his level of professionalism has far exceeded any of our other vendors. It's nice to take a back seat in wedding planning for once. Thank you, Charlie and Tell Your Stories!

Every moment is unique, every couple is unique. I get to capture my amazing couples and the moments that make them up in really stunning and interesting ways that tell their special story. I love what I do. I have this amazing profession of photographing moments and telling stories through the combined voice of my clients lives and my creative eye. But this is not about me.

Wayne has an amazing eye for photography. Each picture puts you right back to where you were when it was taken and that to me is just so special. His artistic and creative process for his work is untouchable and the passion he carries for what he does shows in every photo. If you want that special moment in your life photographed in a way that will create pictures that speak a thousand words then I wouldn’t suggest anyone else but him! I won’t be using any other photographer or company in the future. I will always use LoveDays Photography! Can’t wait for our family portraits!

If I could give Kristen 10 stars, I would. When my HUSBAND (it's fun to say that!) and I decided we wanted to elope we didn't really know where to start but what we did know was that we wanted an incredible photographer to capture the day. We were SO fortunate to have found Kristen's page in our Google search and from our very first phone consultation she immediately put us at ease. She was communicative, responsive, and friendly during our email exchanges. She answered all of our questions in an impressively timely manner. Most importantly when it came time to capture the big day, she did so in THE most beautiful way imaginable. We are SO impressed with our photos. She was able to capture our joy in a way that is palpable. Not only are our pictures absolutely stunning but she delivered both our sneak peek AND final gallery in record time. She is 100% who you want for your big day. She's trustworthy, reliable, an excellent communicator, and most importantly her final product is breathtaking. We will cherish these photos for years to come and we cannot wait to work with her again for our post-elopement celebration in April and for whatever other occasions warrant impeccable photographs. THANK YOU KRISTEN!!! You are the absolute best of the best!

A dad, a son, a brother and a jack of all trades musician that loves to rock out any chance I get. I grew up in New York City. My inclination towards photography came from classic street photography and photojournalists from all over the world that told their stories through a lens. It made me pick up a camera and start shooting. Now, living in Maryland I shoot all sorts of stories and moments locally, domestically, and abroad. It's taken me a while to figure out what my "thing" is but I've come to figure out that I'm a milestone photographer. The moments your life that have proven to be meaningful -- I'll be there.

Sam was not only the best vendor we worked with but also the most fun. Non stop laughing. We forgot to bring a bluetooth speaker while we were getting ready, Sam had it covered. My husband needed a button restitched, Sam had a sowing kit in the car. The man is prepared for absolutely everything. The only thing I regret was not finding him sooner. He has since become out family photographer and several of our guests have booked already. Cheers!!!
