From the very first conversation with Jackie and Drew, we knew we had found something special. They didn’t just show up to our destination wedding in Jamaica as photo/video team —they came as friends, as part of our celebration, and as people who genuinely cared about making every moment unforgettable. Jackie and Drew went above and beyond in every way imaginable. From our engagement photos to the entire wedding weekend, they made my husband and me feel completely at ease. I have never felt like a natural in front of the camera, but their calm, fun, and easygoing energy helped us relax and actually enjoy the process. They captured the essence of who we are and the love we share with so much heart. By the time our wedding day arrived, it felt like they were friends celebrating right alongside us—not just taking pictures, but truly experiencing the weekend with us. They seamlessly blended into every part of the wedding while still managing to capture the moments that tell the story of who my husband and I are together, and the love shared by our family and friends celebrating with us. And our wedding album? It’s absolutely incredible. I have no words, truly lol. Every photo is filled with life, light, and love. Looking through it brings back every emotion we felt in real-time, and we couldn’t be more grateful for how beautifully our story was told through their lens. If you're looking for wedding photographers who are not only exceptionally talented but also kind, genuine, and a total joy to work with—Jackie and Drew are it. We can’t recommend them highly enough. Choosing them was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. PS if you’re wondering if you should have video at your wedding, you MUST.

When I tell you that there isn’t enough I can say about Brittany, I mean it! Not only did she deliver absolutely perfect pictures that captured moments from our day that I didn’t know even happened, but she was so much more than a photographer. Our wedding was the hottest day ever and she blotted my face in between each photo, had a mini-hairspray ready for when my curls started to fall, and kept my family in friends in-line and focused to keep photos on track and on-time. She is so incredibly kind, so fun, and listened to everything that we wanted. We love you, Brittany!

Hey there! I’m Maria. I grew up with cameras in my life from the very beginning. On my mom’s side of the family, we say “it’s in our blood”. Since my first photography course, I knew that this was something I wanted to incorporate into my daily life. I’ve always lived by the thought that “it’s better to have taken too many pictures than none at all.” I’m here to preserve your memories of your big day!!! I'm in love with love and truly enjoy capturing your story. Your love. Your connection. Let's get you married and let's take some damn good photos while we're at it.

Maria was so fantastic!! My husband and I decided to do a last minute pandemic micro wedding, with just our immediate family and close friends present. Of course, finding any vendors, especially a photographer, last minute is a challenge. Luckily, Maria was recommended to me, and I couldn't have been happier with anyone else! Her style of photography and editing was exactly what I was hoping for! Getting to know her over the phone, and working out a schedule for the day of the wedding was a breeze. She was so great at staying in contact via email and text leading up to the big day. Also, I have a family that requires a lot of guidance (we're talking herding cats here) and Maria was AWESOME at keeping everyone moving and where they needed to be the day of the wedding. She even got all the pictures I wanted of our dog who was included in the wedding ceremony! Despite the rainy weather, she remained upbeat and positive the whole day! And I think her positive attitude was what led to us being rewarded with an amazing pink sunset at the end of our couples pictures. Her poses and editing created the wedding photos of my dreams! I definitely plan to hire Maria again for future family photos!

When searching for a photographer, I was overwhelmed by the number of options available. Dominique didn’t make me feel pressured. She provided us with her wedding guide, which gave us insight into who she is. When we met remotely, I instantly knew she was the one. She was enthusiastic, listened attentively, and asked us questions about what is important to us leading up to the wedding and beyond. She was great to work with, and I knew what to expect. She drafted our timeline, offered recommendations, and helped us design it based on what was important to my husband and me. She curated a family shot list, and let me tell you, she did not disappoint. Her and her team were amazing.

Hi there! My name is Madison and I am a wedding photographer based in the beautiful seaside town of Newport, Rhode Island. Although I call Newport home, I provide my services to couples throughout the greater New England area and am always willing to travel worldwide for my clients' special days. I have always been passionate about capturing life's most special moments through my camera lens, and there's nothing quite like the magic of a wedding day. I consider it an honor and privilege to document the love story of each unique couple I work with.

Awarded Best of Zola
We truly can’t say enough about Maddie and the incredible experience we had working with her. From the very beginning, it was clear how kind, creative, and deeply passionate she is about photography. Maddie went above and beyond—traveling from Rhode Island to Upstate New York for our wedding, and photographing us beforehand in Rhode Island, where she brought us to stunning, thoughtfully chosen locations. On our wedding day, Maddie captured everything with an artistic, intuitive eye. She noticed and preserved the quiet, meaningful details of our farm venue—those small, fleeting moments we would have missed in the rush of the day. Because of her, we now have timeless images that bring us right back to the feeling of being there. One of our absolute favorite memories (and the photos everyone raves about) is the sunset session in a wide open field while our guest we're eating their dinner. With the soft dreamlike tones—she created pure magic, effortlessly. Maddie just knew what to capture and how to tell our story without needing a word of direction. We are endlessly grateful for Maddie’s talent, care, and heart. Her photos are a gift we’ll cherish for a lifetime.

One of the biggest highlights was how seamlessly she took charge when needed—corralling guests for group photos and keeping everything moving without ever feeling rushed. It allowed us to relax and truly enjoy the moment. We chose Nicole because we were impressed with her portfolio and knew she had photographed at our venue, the Providence Athenaeum, before. Her familiarity with the space showed in every shot; she captured the magic, atmosphere, and little details of the place perfectly. She also made sure my red wedding dress truly POPPED in the photos.

I can’t say enough wonderful things about Lynne. Not only were her photos SO beautiful and perfect, but she was a joy to work with . She was organized, professional, and so kind. We hadn’t planned on taking engagement photos but used it as an opportunity to meet her and get comfortable in front of the camera. Our engagement photos were so fun! Lynne made us laugh and brought out such a natural joy in each of the photos. The communication leading up to the wedding was clear and organized. She shared a timeline and checklist, met with us via zoom, and checked in to ensure everyone was on the same page. It brought a lot of ease knowing that she was organized and ready to go. On the wedding day, Lynne was incredible. She led with direction but was kind and flexible. She was professional and fun and added so much to our day. Our families mentioned after the fact how nice and sweet she was. Everyone felt comfortable and had so much fun. We allocated about an hour for first look, family, and couples pictures before the ceremony. It ran smoothly and never felt rushed or chaotic (nor did it feel repetitive or like it dragged on). And of course, the photos themselves are stunning. She captured the mood perfectly. She was SO quick to share sneak peaks and kept them coming. We haven’t even seen the full package and I am obsessed already. I couldn’t wait to write a review. From our festive, fall engagement photos to our moody, dark winter wedding, Lynne matched the vibe to a tee. I would recommend her for any and all of your photo needs!

Brenden made everything easy right from the start. He worked with us to get the images we wanted and was willing go out in the pouring rain to get photos if we wanted. Any questions we had about photos or weddings he answered. He helped tie ties and pin boutonnieres. I cannot recommend him enough! He is great, the photos are great and everyone loved him!

There is a magic that happens on a wedding day. Everyone is more beautiful, colors are brighter, and smiles are bigger. Tracy Jenkins Photography has been capturing these moments for couples to remember forever for the past 10 years. From that first look when you see the one you love, to the first kiss, to grandma busting a move on the dance floor — we want to help preserve it for not just a lifetime, but generations to come.

You won’t find a better wedding photographer in the game than Tracy Jenkins. Her work is exemplary and highly personalized to fit the exact vibe we were looking for. From the super creative engagement session (included) to the day itself, she was a joy to work with. Tracy was also very prompt in turning around our photos, which exceeded all of our expectations and perfectly captured the joy we felt on the day.

My passion for photography stems from my love of travel and capturing life's precious moments. There's nothing more fulfilling than preserving the most beautiful days of your life. Photos are a return ticket to moments gone. My goal is to create lasting memories that inspire and evoke emotions. I believe my purpose is the impact my work has on others. This is my 15th year, and it gets better with each passing year.

I can't say enough about how amazing Stacy is! She has photographed all our family milestones so I knew we would be in good hands when I booked her for our wedding. She exceeded all expectations. I was blown away when I opened the sneak peek photos. I could not stop looking at them. Not only were her photography skills amazing, she was responsive, supportive and available to help all throughout the planning process and on our big day. We had some hiccups that day and I think I would have never managed to pull it off without her. She was definitely my rock. It was stressful due to a malfunction that caused some damage. She didn't even flinch. She came up with a plan on the spot and moved us forward. Thank goodness for her amazing photos! I am able to sit back, look through them and take it all in because they captured everything perfectly. Thank you for being the amazing human being that you are!

I am a wedding photographer from Southeast New England. My love for photography goes back over 15 years and has been intertwined in my creative process ever since. I shot my first wedding 8 years ago and never looked back. I am passionate about capturing the most intimate and special day you will share. With over 150 weddings under my belt, I bring not only top-notch professionalism but a wide array of experience as a wedding photographer.

Colton is hands down the best photographer and we couldn't be luckier to have had him capture our wedding! We cannot recommend him enough! From wedding planning to the big day, Colton was a joy to work with—fantastic communication, so personable, professional, and incredibly talented. Our family and bridal party kept complimenting how friendly and amazing he was. He remembered everyone's names, which made the experience even more personalized. He made sure to capture everything on our shot list and more. We were amazed at how quickly he delivered our sneak peek photos (literally 1.5 hours after the wedding ended!!), and they are absolutely stunning!! We are so excited to see the full album! Colton truly made all of our photo dreams come true by capturing our day so beautifully. Highly, highly recommend booking Colton!!

Hi friends! My name is Jess. I never know what to write in these bios but here goes …. I’m a caffeine addict (coffee and Dr Pepper), wife to my high school sweetheart, mom of three active kids, complete artsy nerd, avid fan of Marvel/Disney, legos and puzzles and lastly, a lover of nature and of human connection. Capturing details and moments that you don’t get to stop and relish in the day of your wedding, but will have for the rest of your life, it’s what I love.

Since the second I inquired with jess she immediately responded with all the info and guidance me and my fiancé needed , we immediately knew we wanted to book with her she made the booking such a smooth and easy process and was available to answer any questions I had before the day of the shoot and or after . I was nervous seeing as my fiancé smiles always looked forced yet She captured it looking so effortlessly! You can see our love through those photos!

Hey, I’m Mark, a Rhode Island wedding photographer. I photograph weddings throughout southern RI, the Newport mansions, Cape Cod, and places with character—coastal estates, barns, mills, and rustic spaces. I became a photographer because I love work that brings people joy. Being trusted to capture meaningful moments is deeply rewarding, and it’s what led me to pursue this full-time. I’ve been a professional photographer since 2019. Since then, I’ve photographed over 130 weddings. My focus is creating an experience that feels calm, natural, and genuinely enjoyable—so couples can stay present and focused on the day itself.
