There is truly no one better than Rayleen and Tim. My photos were probably the top of my list of important things when it came to my wedding day and Meraki Photo produced everything I dreamed of and more. I have received so many compliments on our absolutely stunning wedding photos and I get asked regularly who my photographer was. The photos Rayleen and Tim create are truly a work of art. They make everything look like absolute perfection and capture such stunning moments. They are so creative and do so well at making you feel so comfortable behind the camera. I loved each and every photo they took during our wedding and engagement shoot and I look at our photos often. I feel so lucky and blessed that I had a photography team as amazing as Rayleen and Tim. They are it for me! I will use them again and again in the future for family photos, ect. Thanks Meraki photo for your kindness and unbelievable talent. You made our day so special and I'm so thankful to have these photos for the rest of our lives. If you are thinking of booking Meraki, you will not regret it and prepare to stun all of your friends and family with beautiful photos. I truly don't think there is anyone better than them! Since our wedding we have had a baby! Rayleen took amazing maternity photos and we plan to have her with our family for as long as we can!!!!!

Mark B. Carrier Photography

Smithfield, RI
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves Derby, CT

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.

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.

We recommend 1000%! Our engagement and wedding photos were amazing! The video was so well thought out, and really captured the essence of our love and celebration. Trevaughn listened and gave us direction. We gave him creative license and it really shined. I am amazed at the pictures he was able to get because you barely knew he and his assistant were there! He showed up on time and was very professional.

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!!

Cate Barry Photography

5.0

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
Cate is incredible! She photographed our wedding in June of 2023 as well as our engagement shoot in May of 2022. Two of the main reasons we hired her were because of her intense inclusivity of the LGBTQ community and her candid photography style. She was not uncomfortable at all with us as an LGBTQ couple in front of the camera, which made us more comfortable too, and she was able to capture such special moments throughout the day that photographers who focus on posed and “traditional” wedding shots wouldn’t have. Our engagement shoot was the first formal photoshoot we had ever done together as a couple, and once we told Cate this, she did such a good job at giving us direction on how to pose and where to look. She even has certain prompts of things that, for example, she had one of us whisper into the others’ ear to elicit certain emotions. Our top priority in our engagement shoot was variety, since we wanted to use the photos for our save the dates, our website, etc., and Cate took that priority very seriously. We shot at a park with a ton of different backgrounds/vibes and even did an outfit change mid-way through. The day of our wedding, Cate came prepared with notes and a plan. She arrived on time and stayed on time throughout the day. She captured all the shots we asked her for specifically, plus a lot of special ones we weren’t expecting. She did an especially good job taking the large family photos we asked for, even with a whole bunch of people running in different directions! She also brought on a second shooter who had an incredibly similar style to hers, which was great for consistency across our photos from the day. If you’re looking for a calm, passionate, detail-oriented photographer with a knack for catching the small, intimate moments throughout your wedding day (in addition to the big, exciting ones of course), Cate is your person!

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 and her team were incredible. Starting from our engagement photos (which we loved!) Erica worked to get us more comfortable in front of the camera and ready for our wedding day. In between then and the event, she was communicative, supportive, and available. On the day itself she brought her usual AMAZING energy that made us feel at ease, and impressed our whole family with her ability to organize, get the shots, and let us get back to the party! I would also be remiss if I didn't mention the incredible team she brought with her. Not only did they match her positive and upbeat energy, but they helped capture some amazing moments for us and our family. I find myself returning to our online albums every few weeks and liking a few more pictures each time that "I can't believe I missed". I am so grateful we had Erica as our photographer and look forward to years of looking back at these pictures and reliving the joy she captured.

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,800

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 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.

Amanda and John were truly the reason that our wedding went on as scheduled despite the many hitches in our day. She was confidant, kind, and compassionate while also giving us the advice and assistance we desperately needed. The team worked well with our other vendors, even when other vendors were making things a bit difficult for the flow of the day. When we realized we couldn’t find our seating chart cards, Amanda sent John to Michael’s to get index cards. When the best pictures for our aesthetic should be taken in the middle of the street, John stopped traffic to get the perfect pictures. The list goes on and on. Plus, they were just plain fun to be around. It really felt like they were guests at the party, not just vendors. PLUS our sneak peek came so quickly and the pictures are ALREADY incredible. They were professional, kind and a pleasure to work with. 1000/10 would work with them again in an instant.

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
I'll start by saying I am SO thankful my sister in law found and hired Tim as the photographer for her wedding a few years back because since then, he's become our 'family photographer'. The second my now husband and I met Tim at their wedding, we knew without a doubt we wanted him as our photographer when we got married.. and we are so incredibly happy we did! Tim' is not only an amazing photographer who can camera-awkward couples (us) look like their shooting for a magazine, but he is all around such a genuine, awesome person who makes you feel like you're hanging out with a friend. From our engagement photos to our wedding day, Tim captured so many beautiful moments that we will cherish forever. And we can't wait till the next person in our family gets married so we can see him again :)

BFFs for life. Be prepared for creating secret handshakes, inside jokes, and a ton of memories together!

Kelsey is beyond talented at capturing genuine moments and making them look incredible. She became a quick friend while also remaining professional.

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.

My friend recommended Alena to shoot my engagement. From the very beginning, Alena was incredibly professional, attentive, and creative. She has a unique ability to capture the most precious moments in a way that is both artistic and heartfelt. During our engagement shoot, Alena made us feel so comfortable and at ease, which resulted in beautifully natural photos that we will cherish forever. She has an amazing eye for detail and knows how to find the perfect lighting and angles to create stunning images. So we decided to hire Alena for our wedding. And she went above and beyond to capture every special moment. She managed to capture every important moment, from the emotional vows to the joyful celebrations. The final photos and video were beyond our expectations, and we are so grateful to have these memories to look back on for years to come. Not only is Alena incredibly talented, but she is also a pleasure to work with. She is kind, patient, and has a calming presence that is so appreciated during the chaos of a wedding day.

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. = )

We hired Whitney Browne, one of Christopher Duggan Photography's Creative Team members, to photograph our wedding at Unico 2087 in Riviera Maya, Mexico. Whitney's experience with photographing dance (and not to mention many, many other weddings) was apparent from the start. With her artistic eye, she captured sentimental moments as they were happening, she somehow knew all of the perfect locations to make portraits (her eye for lighting is just...WOW), and our desire for having that in-the-moment/photojournalistic approach to our wedding photos was fulfilled in the absolute best way possible. Whitney's calm and unobtrusive approach helped with our wedding jitters, and her ability to keep up with our group of 65 guests impressed our friends & family so much that they are still talking about how wonderful she is weeks later!!! When I tell you that my husband & I have looked through ALL of our wedding photos several times and we STILL can't choose our favorites, that's all you need to know. Every. Single.

His communication, his candor, his creativity, his commitment -- it was all aligned with our vision and our biggest hopes. Honestly, it was way more fun and carefree than either of us imagined possible and that's the best feeling. We were both smiling hours later; he lit us up.

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!

Jenn is outstanding. Her pictures were perfect She was great at putting us at ease, getting us comfortable with posing and all the other things needed to be sure we get THE photos.

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!

Mark, Brittany, Tom, Kasey. I cannot put into words how amazing this team is, but here I go! Their work is brilliant and speaks for itself! But let me tell you from firsthand experience. From day one, to our engagement shoot, to our wedding day and everything in between, they are the best people to have by your side. Nick and I were always nervous for our photos. Being a gay couple it isn’t always easy feeling like yourselves in front of people, let alone in front of a camera! Not once did we not feel like us. This easily became one of our favorite parts of wedding planning and our wedding day! Don’t overthink. Pick Mark and his team. You deserve to have the best group of people around you. You’ll feel like the luckiest couple with them!

Stephanie was an incredible photographer for our engagement shoot and then our actual wedding day! At our first shoot, she worked through posing with us and helped us to get comfortable with both the camera and each other in a way that really helped remove any potential awkwardness or stiffness for our wedding day. Throughout the lead up to the wedding, she was prompt and communicative, responding quickly to ideas and inspirations we had and in general helping assuage any concerns that arose. On the day of, she was a STAR. Steph joined us early in the day for some getting ready shots and from that point on, blended so seamlessly into the background that I was genuinely surprised the 3 times I saw her (all 3x were to grab us for agreed upon shots with family, friends and each other). Our wedding guests were equally impressed with how unintrusive she was throughout the ceremony and dinner - something I appreciate so deeply as we wanted this to feel like a fun night out with friends in Brooklyn, and she inherently understood what we were going for, which was reflected in both her presence and the photos, On the photos, they were STUNNING. We wanted several vogue-esque posed photos with our wedding party and then more in the moment capture of the rest of the night, and Steph nailed it. Every photo felt thoughtfully curated, and the entire collection represented our day perfectly. All key moments were captured along with some wonderful ones that I wasn't aware of as I was too busy dancing. Our dog was part of the wedding, and Steph worked so wonderfully with him, incorporating him in all important shots and in general, loved on our little guy so much. In conclusion, Steph is thoughtful and talented - a dream of a vendor and an asset to any event you would hire her for!

We were fortunate enough to have Randell as our wedding photographer and videographer as I just stumbled to find him in a local wedding facebook group and without a doubt, he is THE BEST! From the moment we met him, it was evident that his professionalism and passion for his craft set him apart. His efficiency on the big day was truly remarkable. He seamlessly blended into the background, ensuring he captured every significant moment without being intrusive. His ability to organize group shots and direct us for those perfect candid moments showcased his experience and expertise. Now, let's talk about the photos - they are nothing short of spectacular! The only "problem" Randell presented us with was making every single photo look so incredible that it's nearly impossible to choose our favorites! As an artist myself, to me each image is a work of art, reflecting his keen eye for detail and a deep understanding of lighting and composition. Randell not only delivered on capturing the essence of our wedding day but exceeded our expectations. His creativity and skill turned ordinary moments into extraordinary memories.

Everything was discussed prior to the day and she knew exactly what we wanted. We were able to enjoy our day without even noticing Mary capturing every moment. When looking at our wedding pictures, I am able to relive and feel that day. It is bittersweet that my husband passed six months after we wed, but I am grateful and thankful for Mary. She captured my husband's smiles (big and small), the loving way he looked at me and his overall happiness that day, which is just priceless.

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!

When looking for a photographer, we wanted a photography group that was very artistic when taking and editing photos and I really feel that Indigo and Ivory couldn’t have done better. I’ve had multiple people ask who took ours photos since we have received them. Eric has an amazing eye, knew how to read the venue to get the best shots, and added an artistic and cohesive final edit to the photos. There are so many photography groups out there but we really felt that they stood out from the rest!!

Awarded Best of Zola
Where do I begin, Heather is an incredible talented photographer to work with! Goes above and beyond to do a great job! Through a recommendation of a professional wedding hair stylist, we were introduced to "Heather Olker Photography". From the start, Heather's approach and her overall personality was one that aligned completely with us. You will come across several vendors during the wedding planning process that have overpowering personalities.. Heather and her team are very well organized, responsive, sweet, helpful and communicated very well with us and with our coordinator at the venue. She helped us in creating the perfect timeline for our wedding day, made us feel completely comfortable through the process. Responded promptly to all our questions and concerns. She traveled from NY to Boston to photograph our engagement photo session, and wedding photos. Which we absolutely love!!! 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

I seriously cannot possibly do justice to the gratitude we feel for Becky and her team for handling all the imagery for our wedding. First, because we went with a photo video package, she included a free engagement shoot. If you’ve already done those though, no worries, she’ll also flex and do a boudoir or family shoot instead if you like. Next, the first thing you will notice with her is that she’ll have you laughing throughout your entire shoot. Her sparkly personality makes it easy for her to get natural shots and she’s also willing to do silly and crazy things as well. Want something done *in* the water? She’s your woman. Geeky Star Wars - Lord of the Rings Crossover theme? You can bet she will both love shooting your wedding AND capture all of the minute details. She’s also great with kids. We had a really shy ring bearer about age 4 and there were a few moments where we thought we were gonna lose him to a bit of over stimulation and she brought him back so easily by letting him think he was pushing the button for the camera and making the flash go off… very clever. Next, she is continuing to pursue new techniques to experiment with and surrounds herself with talented people to fill out her team. These are two traits that you find with people that love their jobs, and a photographer that loves their job is bound to provide you with great results. It’s a craft for Becky, and it shows. Hire her, you won’t regret it.

You'll probably find me at your local thrift shop with my iced coffee in the dead of winter listening to gospel or rnb music in my ear while shopping for records and broken cameras. 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

I haaaate having my photo taken. I was super anxious about the whole process going into it. It takes a certain amount of trust to let someone photograph you... Jay and his Bellocq team were A from start to finish. We were blown away by A) the sheer amount of photos given back (they don't cap their packages at certain photo counts) and B) how seamlessly the entire collection flowed together from start to finish. We couldn't have asked for more. We will definitely be re-booking them for our family photos (first baby on the way!!!) in the future. Jay is incredibly kind and fun to be around, and just puts you at ease. That is the first thing you'll notice when you meet. Can't recommend Bellocq 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.

Bethany and Raquel are artists of the finest caliber and they will deliver above and beyond your expectations. I cannot stress this to you enough: Book them immediately! They excel at both pieces of the wedding photographer's role: the experience of having them photograph the event, and the photos they deliver at the end. On your wedding day: They of course will follow your requested shoot list, portraits of family, and whatever else you want to prioritize for your wedding day. *But the real magic they deliver is that everyone forgets they are there.* Your family doesn't feel like they're being stalked by paparazzi or in a never ending staged photo shoot. I don't know how they do it, they didn't meet anyone in my family before our wedding, but every photo they delivered was an authentic reflection of that person and the moment. Nothing felt strained, staged, or uncomfortable for the subjects. Several of my family members, including my husband, don't love being photographed, and they were both so sensitive to that without losing anything important. They melt into the background and capture the smallest, lovely moments you didn't even know were happening. When they deliver the photos: The story of our wedding was told brilliantly in the first set of preview photos, which they delivered very quickly after the wedding, and even more so when we saw the full set of photos and the album. They are very responsive and delivered the shots exactly on the promised timeline and of course answered every single question we could have had along the way. They also helped us create a timeline for the day which kept everything on track and as planned which helped keep my head on straight! They weave the narrative structure beautifully - the wedding album they delivered (after very politely waiting for a long time for me to mark my favorites) is truly a work of art. 10/10 recommend to a friend!

Everyone needs a Wayne! This is what we have told everyone over and over again when showing our beautiful wedding and engagement photos. We sincerely cannot wait for the next time we have an excuse to work with Wayne. From the very start of working with him, he had such a thoughtfulness that no else else had. Throughout the whole process he had sentimental touches like congratulatory gifts, personalized business cards for us to distribute with our photo on it, souvenirs from our wedding day, etc. Friends and family loved how he was present but never in the way or distracting, and we agree. The best advice we received was to find a photographer who you like being around because you spend the majority of your wedding day with them, and man they were right. Wayne's energy is exactly what you want - attentive, sharp and aware of his surroundings but cool and relaxed on a day that has it's stressful moments.

Kristen was awesome to work with. She is super professional and organized. She was by our side helping us get ready in the morning. She was so helpful and had great tips. She was also prepared with safety pins that one of my bridesmaids needed. She was super chill and relaxed which also kept us relaxed. Our wedding was mid November and it was pretty cold outside but Kristen stood out there with us getting amazing photos. Our sneak peak photos look beautiful and warm, you can't even tell it's 30 degrees! Later in the evening, she was about to leave but we decided we wanted more photos. We asked if she could stay one more hour and thankfully she was able to. We definitely appreciated the last minute flexibility. If we could do it all over again we would!

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 absolutely covered every single little detail of our wedding. It was great to see things we didn't even catch as the day went by. He assured us every step of the way. He caught all the candids we could have ever wanted and posed us like a pro when necessary. Probably the best at communication out of all our vendors and is still the person we come to with our new milestones. A maternity session is definitely going to be in the mix soon

Hi I'm Corey In a well tailored suit and a scotch in hand is how you may find me; enjoying a good read, it's the makings of a wanderlust at heart.

Our engagement photoshoot went smoothly and Corey was able to capture every moment of it. From my surprised reaction to family pictures, he caught it all. Although it was a very hot day, he patiently worked with us to make sure every shot was taken with our family and friends. He was very professional and our pictures came out great.

Eugene did an amazing job for us at our wedding shoot. Helping with all aspects of the shoot, getting the most out of the location, and the pics with individual family members. He got fantastic pics with our 1-year-old son, which isn’t easy. He was polite and courteous throughout kindly guiding us to get beautiful pictures that we treasure. The end result was much more than we could have imagined!
