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.

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.

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!!

We were honored and privileged to work with Chelsea for our wedding day. Her personality sold us from our first meeting and we would recommend Chelsea to anyone. She was punctual, communicative, kind, and thoughtful. She was so prepared, and got us several thousand edited and culled photos within a WEEK of our wedding day! Her work is beautiful and hanging up prominently in our home, and we’re honored to stay in touch and have had Chelsea capture our family photos since our wedding — despite moving out of state. She’s the best. She’s worth every penny. And we can’t wait to have her continue to capture the pictures of our family for years to come.

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.

Mark is an outstanding photographer who effortlessly captures unique settings with incredible attention to detail. We’ve worked together countless times. A true professional who not only excels in his craft but also establishes a fantastic rapport with couples, infusing every moment with genuine joy.

Not only did our photos come out gorgeous, Rayleen and Tim were a joy to work with. They made me feel so comfortable and fit in with ease at my very small and intimate Covid wedding. Rayleen also did my engagement photos…she claimed a TREE to get the best shots she could. Rayleen and Tim became friends to my husband and I. I would recommend them to anyone in a heartbeat ( and I actually HAVE)!!

  • 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
We can’t say enough good things about Cate and why she is simply the best photographer you could find. We are delighted with the photographs from our wedding. We received a huge sneak peak just 5 days after our wedding. Cate’s photos beautifully capture all of the warmth and joy and wonderful moments of the day. More than that, Cate brings a great energy with her. She is an absolute professional when it comes to managing time and large, unruly families. She is also a fun, calming, easy presence to have around on a day with a lot going on. Her second shooter Kieran was equally professional and took some truly phenomenal photos of the groomsmen. Cate’s dedication to making wedding photography inclusive and comfortable for everyone truly shows through in her photographs. We can’t recommend her enough for your engagement shoot, wedding, or life moments.

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 could not recommend Jenni enough! She is so sweet and instantly made us feel comfortable. I normally don't like photos of myself BUT have yet to see a photo of myself that Jenni has taken that I don't like! She photographed our engagement photoshoot last October and our wedding this past weekend. She left our wedding on a Sunday night, and we had sneak peaks by Tuesday afternoon - I don't know how she works her magic so fast!! We love every single photo we have seen so far and cannot wait to see the rest of our wedding gallery!

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.

Stephanie is a wonderful photographer. From the first moment I contacted her to receiving my pictures and Wedding book, I had a such a wonderful experience. Stephanie has an ability like no other. Her presence is one that brings you a calmness, which on your wedding day you will appreciate! When I look at my wedding pictures, I can still smell the fragrance of the food we ate, the emotions I was feeling, and the way the sun and air felt on my face. Stephanie did that. She captured all those little things that are so important and magical. If my house had more walls they would be filled with her photographs.

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.

What else can I say? Awesome awesome photographer. Kept everyone at ease, took wonderful photos, everyone loved her, she kept my wife calm (big plus!), and you can tell she absolutely loves what she does which is refreshing. Would really recommend her to anyone looking for a talented photographer and piece of mind for your wedding day.

Highly recommend Shutterart by Debi! We spoke many times before the wedding and I provided examples of shots I would like. Every picture was perfect! We were given a memory stick of edited photos that we printed on our own. This was a second marriage for both of us and we were on a budget. Deb worked with us financially. I would definitely recommend her services!

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 used Eivan’s Photography & Video for our wedding on 6/18/22. They were extremely responsive from start to finish and very flexible and willing to work with us when we had to change the location of our ceremony. The photographer assigned to us was Rich B. and the videographer was Mike M. They both were absolutely wonderful! They made sure to reach out to us ahead of time and go over our forms to make sure they would get all the shots we wanted. The day of the wedding they made sure to pose us but also get lots of candid shots while keeping us entertained and engaged with their friendly and kind personalities. My husband and I received the pictures well before we were expecting and were very happy with the variety and quality. I was on the fence about hiring Eivan’s when I saw the company was based in a different state but without a doubt, I would definitely recommend working with them.

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!

Not only is Jenn a highly professional photographer with a keen eye for detailed and a great sense of composition, but she’s also an awesome human, leading to the perfect combination of fun, efficiency, and professionalism. She is super open to your ideas and feedback, but also will make suggestions and help with posing to ensure you look awesome, natural, and confident.

I've had a passion for photography my entire life, capturing moments around me in the most authentic ways until one day my wife told me “go full time”, it was insane. I fell in love with wedding photography and the emotion it brought out for everyone involved. Family, love, laughter and memories are four things that I think about on a daily basis, I’m practically addicted. When I’m not obsessing over wedding photography I am spending time with my wife Brittany, two sons and our two huskies. We look forward to capturing your day!

I recently worked with Mark as a second shooter for a wedding and I could not have asked for a better partner and mentor to tackle that day with. Mark completely blew me away with his composure and positive attitude going into unfamiliar territory but still being able to tell a beautiful love story through his photos and keen eye for detail. Highly, highly recommend This Insane Idea Photography for your wedding, (I promise it’s not an insane idea to hire them)!

This review is long overdue. One year ago today, Ashley photographed my intimate family wedding. Literally everyone at my wedding loved her. My brother is also a professional photographer (but a jinx for weddings) and complimented her sooo many times. She was so low-key throughout the event, blending right in throughout the day. She was so sweet and friendly, she basically felt like was part of the family that day. She got beautiful portraits of me and my husband, portraits with our families, then so many great candids throughout the day - exactly what we wanted. She definitely knows what she's doing with the couple portraits too - she gave us directions that sounded so silly at the time, but omg the pictures came out amazing.

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
A few things that stood out the most about Isaac were how responsive he was, how he was able to accommodate to our budget, and how he took pictures from angles and views that turned out great on the photos. As a couple with demanding careers, I much appreciated how quickly Isaac was with replying to emails. We had a pretty tight budget, and Isaac was able to offer us a package that landed pretty close to our budget and only had the items that we needed the most (mini engagement photoshoot for the website and wedding day). Our ask for him was to get some candid shots as we feel pretty awkward in front of the camera. I personally think that the wedding day pictures came out more naturally because of the setting being surrounded with friends and families, and Isaac and Sushen did a great job capturing the candid moments beautifully. Isaac even had an idea for me to pose by climbing up a wooden stair ladder for a shot that I honestly wasn't sure how it was going to turn out while doing it, but it ended up turning out beautiful and magazine-like. Isaac put together a behind the scenes video that also showed the reactions of guests to our photo place cards before we had entered the reception area, and this was lovely in that we got to see our guests' reactions that we weren't able to see. The only minor feedback would be that for the large group photo that was requested prior to the wedding (all 75 guests in one group picture after the ceremony) wish there had been more directions given to guests to follow (using the mic that I had offered for directions to be shared aloud) how to come together / move around in an organized and efficient way that would work for the pictures. But overall, it has been a great experience working with Isaac for these past several months and we are very happy with his work that captures the moments of our special day in a soft and hear-warming manner.

We are speechless with MJC Image. Mary did such a phenomenal job. Looking back at our wedding photos makes us feel like we’re back in the moment. She really got in there with us for all of the cool action shots and was able to catch pure emotions. Every time we looked, she was around capturing priceless moments and was somehow able to be in five places at once. Even our guests loved her because she’s so pleasant and easy-going. With Mary, you don’t feel pressured or posed, but instead comfortable like your friend or family is taking pictures of you. She is able to think on the fly and adapt instead of being set on one boring pose. She is so talented and such a hard worker. We had her for 12 hours and didn’t see her sit down once. We actually used her for our engagement shoot first and after receiving our fun, original, and beautiful pictures within two weeks, we knew that we wanted her to photograph every future event for us. Our families could not stop raving about how great of a job she did. Mary had our previews ready within 3 days which is unheard of. Mary obviously love what she does and it shows! - Love, A&M

All things being equal, my husband and I are not the most photogenic people ;) The engagement photo session (which I encourage everyone to get one, if only as an opportunity to get to know your photographer before the big day) it allowed us an opportunity to see Heather as someone who completely goes with the flow with our collective vision. There is so much attention to detail you put into your wedding day and those memories are all now fleeting. But investing in someone like Heather and her professional team for your wedding day, capturing the pictures of not just you, but more importantly to us - our family and close friends - was the wisest investment that we could have made last summer. If you're wondering whether or not to book her as your photographer for your special day, don't hesitate. There is no one better! We Highly recommend her. Thank you once again Heather "Heather Olker Photography". Much appreciated, Claudia & Greg

Becky was amazing on our wedding day. She took so many awesome photos, was so fun and easy going, and somehow managed to be everywhere all at once to capture everything. The photos came out amazing and there are so many good ones that every time I go back to look at them I find a new favorite. I can be a bit photo shy at times and she did such a great job making me and everyone else feel comfortable that we have one of the only photos of my dad with a full smile with teeth showing. I will definitely be booking her the next time I need a photographer for anything and I would recommend her without any hesitation to anyone willing to listen!

When i find spare time i play apex legends or attend creative events. my guilty pleasure is reality tv and crime documentaries.

Awarded Best of Zola
Where do I begin? Justina was simply amazing! Her background in fashion photography & the breathtaking examples of her work on her website were what initially caught my eye, but then her down to earth personality was what sealed the deal — we hit it off from the very first phone call we had. She is extremely organized yet flexible, patient (so SO patient), considerate, very accommodating and quite talented. She went above and beyond anything I could have imagined. At times, it felt like she was even helping me plan the wedding with her advice & experience, ha! During the wedding, it honestly felt like she was one of my wedding guests! Then.. I saw the final product and I simply couldn’t have been happier. Once I (finally) reviewed all of the photos (I made Justina wait way too long for my feedback & she didn’t mind at all!), I asked for some edits (she curates a set of black & white photos along with color photos, so I just wanted the reverse on a few {well, way more than just a few} of them), and she didn’t mind at all. In fact, she even made more edits as she was going through the changes I requested. So.. to recap my gushing review.. #1 highly recommend getting married #2 highly recommend hiring Justina. 10/10

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.

If you’re looking for someone to make you feel your absolute best, super comfortable, and give some direction - you’re in the right place. Nicole and I would not have been happier with the choice to book Steve for our engagement/wedding photos and video. We were nervous and uncomfortable with posing and stressing out about how we would look in our photos, but he did his absolute best to make it super fun and stress free. We look at these photos and are still in shock at how beautiful we felt and how much fun we had. He communicated with us every step of the way and took the time to understand and execute our vision. We wanted a couples handshake stop motion … seems a little out there, right? Well … he made it happen and I’m still crying over it today. We had a few photos to swoon over as soon as a few hours later(to hold us over), and the rest came super quickly as well. I could go on and on, but I think you get the point. There is only one answer here - book Steve for your photo & video needs if you’re looking for the best experience out there

J is truly incredible to work with! He immediately made me feel comfortable and wasn’t “pushy” when I was deciding on photographers. We picked him because 1.) his photography is seriously amazing, and 2.) he is a genuinely wonderful guy, and I knew he would put me at ease throughout the day. His rates are also very reasonable and there are no “hidden” fees. I really liked that he was with us the ENTIRE day too! We just got our wedding photos back (SUPER FAST TURNAROUND) and I am completely in love! I don’t even have the words to describe how incredible they are. He captured so many moments that I didn’t even know happened, and now we have hundreds of photos of people laughing and crying throughout the day that I wouldn’t have ever seen if he wasn’t there! We wanted someone that was artistic and didn’t just take the “stereotypical” wedding photos, and he exceeded our expectations. He was very responsive throughout the entire process and took the time to thoroughly answer every single question I had. He was even helpful during the wedding day with things not entirely photographer related, like helping me find something I lost at one point and exuding a “chill” vibe that definitely calmed everyone down! My entire family adored him, and we are already thinking of new events in life that we will hire J for! I am SO thankful he was with us for our engagement photos and wedding day, and I cannot recommend him enough!

Two Upper West Siders. Twenty blocks apart. How had we not crossed paths before? Or did we? Well, after finally matching on Hinge we made that happen and the rest is history! We have combined families and now as a family of 7 (three dogs, two cats) we have become an unstoppable force. We both share the same passion for photography, capturing the beauty all around us and making magic happen. Our dog Lucy, embodies love, kindness and poise. We couldn’t imagine naming our business after anyone but her. That’s how Love, Lucy Photography came to be.

Not only are they both lovers of Taylor Swift (so am I so we had lots to chat about!) Bethany and Raquel are phenomenal photographers/people in general and you shouldn’t hesitate to book them. I’ve recommended them to basically everyone I know getting married or has even the most distant of plans to get married. They go above and beyond the basic responsibilities of photographers and genuinely love documenting love. I hope to book them for literally anything in the future. They were the very first vendor we booked in our entire wedding planning process and set the bar waaaay too high for everyone else. They were one of the few vendors we reached out to that did an initial Zoom consultation. I think based on rom-coms I had this crazy idea in my head that wedding planning was done through in-person appointments, but I quickly learned most is done through emails and phone calls making it all feel a little impersonal. Our first meeting with Bethany and Raquel was amazing and it felt like they were actually invested in learning about us as a couple (they definitely were!) and the type of photography experience/style we were looking for. Their kind and thoughtful personalities led us to book them for our engagement shoot and wedding straight away. They definitely can meet you at whatever level of crazy you’re currently running at. For example, for our engagement shoot I had made a whole powerpoint of the types of shots I wanted as well as potential outfits. I did a complete 180 by the wedding and I told them I trusted their artistic vision completely and had no shot list other than the groupings for formal portraits. The photographs came in while we were on our honeymoon and we were blown away by the gallery. Everything was beautifully photographed, edited, and curated. On the wedding day my husband and I were excited for our first look partially because we got to see each other, but also because it was a hang sesh with both of them (lol!). They are wonderful people who put you at ease whenever you chat with them and become your genuine lifelong friends along the way. Many guests complimented their work style in which they weren't intrusive during the ceremony, but were constantly snapping both candid and posed photos. We didn’t want our wedding to feel merely like a spectacle –we wanted it to be a gathering of all our loved ones, so Bethany and Raquel's candid style was a perfect match for us.

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. This is about you. This is about your story, your marriage and your amazing day, why it is unique to your personalities and where you are headed in life.

Wayne at LoveDays Photography is the best, no matter the metric. We used him for our backyard (COVID) wedding, our 1-year anniversary wedding, and our engagement photos in Boston and on the Cape. Wayne’s pictures are gorgeous - utilizing light in extremely unique ways - and extremely creative - utilizing everything marshes, to us lying in the parking lot (pictures turned out so great!), to us symmetrically spread out against a symmetrical building background. His pictures are really breathtaking, and we and our family and friends look back through them very frequently, and will continue to do so for the rest of our lives. If you want wedding pictures that are art, this is the photographer for you. Wayne is also extremely kind - both with his time and with his genuine interest in those he is photographing. He is funny and patient, even when other folks are stressed or late, and this makes him a master of the photography sessions, making calm and fun what can be very stressful. We highly recommend Wayne and look forward to using him for other events for years to come!

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.

I have known Sam, the owner, for a number of years. There are many things I can speak to about his business and him as a person. First thing is that feeling you get when you meet someone that is so fun to be around that you simply don't want to stop being around them. Sam puts a smile on my face every time I see him and hear his contagious laugh. Sam also crushes the benchmark for professionalism and success in the wedding industry. What I mean by that is that if 9/10 photographers get 5 star reviews, on the same scale Sam would deserve 7 or 8 stars. He is well beyond many of our peers and it shows in the quality of his work. If I was to get married again I would choose Sam over any of the 60 or so photographers I have worked with over the years. Hands Down! Chris Hiltz Award-Winning Wedding Videographer
