I'm a 28-year-old photographer based out of South Eastern, Connecticut! I got into photography in 2019 and have been loving every second of it! When I'm not capturing memories, you can find me on some adventure with my boyfriend, or at home with our 2 Kittybrats (Loki & Cruise.. Tom Cruise)!

Hayley was the first vendor we booked for our day. We couldn't have imagined choosing anyone else to capture these moments. Hayley was so communicative and professional leading up to and during the wedding. She was flexible in resting a package that worked for us and even took time to give me an extra call to review my timeline and photo lists just to give me reassurance. Our wedding party thought she was so fun to be around and so clear with what she needed from all of us. Our gallery is absolutely beyond words stunning. We cannot stop looking at it. She gave us so so many photos and every single one is absolutely breathtaking. I recommend her to everyone I know!! Thank you, Hayley!

I could not have asked for a better photographer and videographer team

My background with USA Gymnastics in sports photography (including the 2020, and 2024 Olympic Trials) has taught me to capture every moment with precision and artistry, making sure no detail goes unnoticed. Because of my commitment to the gymnastics season, I limit the number of weddings I take on each year. This means I can give each couple the time and attention they truly deserve, creating a personalized gallery that tells the beautiful story of their day. I’d love to work with you to capture your unforgettable moments!

My husband and I enjoy living in the quiet woods of Eastern CT with our fur babies Kenai and Topaz. We have been together since 2015 and got married in 2022 at a brewery. I've had the incredible experience of living around the country including AK, OR and CO (yes I love the snow!). My perfect day is sitting outside in the autumn foliage drinking espresso while listening to a podcast or reading on my kindle. The shows Outlander and Stranger Things are my vibe though I'm always quoting New Girl and Bob’s Burgers. I live for cozy coffee yaps, farmers markets, and serendipitous moments.

ASHLEY IS THE BEST!! 100% my new bff. She is so funny, kind, and easy to work with. We got to know her while doing our engagement photos and it made her feel like family the day of. I’m so glad we used her, the photo sneaks we got back were dreamy, romantic, and so moody. Her editing style is flawless and her ability to capture the candid moments is exactly what we wanted. We cannot recommend her enough, definitely the best in her field!!!!

I am a self-proclaimed nerd and total goofball who is always up for an adventure, especially if it means going to the beach. I love to travel. I have been blessed to find “home” on three different continents, and I speak fluent English, Spanish and Portuguese. My husband Mike, sons Javi & Ro, baby Soleil and pup Tag are my greatest motivation. They simultaneously drive me crazy and keep me grounded. The love, strength and energy I get from them shapes my perspective on the world, and is something that I want to share with you. In addition to all that, I happen to be one of the luckiest people in the world – I love my job!

Bridget & her assistant did a PHENOMONAL job photographing my daughter and son-in-law’s wedding last weekend. She somehow managed to capture it all – the couple, the relatives, the venue, the season, the rituals – yet each image stands as a work of art on its own. Especially love the black and white photos sprinkled in with the full color. I guess it comes down to Bridget’s mastery of lighting, and her ability to read the energy of the many different people she photographs. One of her candids has the gorgeous lighting of a Vermeer painting (“Girl with a Pearl Earring”). It you’re looking for the best, look no further.

I am just blown away with how she, Katherine, and Olivia were able to capture so many special moments with our people.

Cozy, natural, and fun storytelling for those who value being in the moment. We’re Erin & Peter — Connecticut wedding photographers who blend classic portraits and candid, joyful moments; documenting weddings across Connecticut, Hudson Valley, and New England.

TLDR: Book them now!! We knew Erin & Peter from my sister's wedding, and we were in love with how natural their photos looked and how easy they were to work with. For our own wedding, we were so lucky to book them! They were the most intuitive people we worked with all day, picking up on all of the day's emotions and logistics flawlessly while helping us arrange ourselves for the photos we knew we would cherish for a lifetime. They even helped arrange my dress and veil, and never flinched in our muggy, buggy atmosphere. They were fun, funny, helpful, and in short, a dream to work with.

It's so nice to meet you! I was born and raised in New Jersey (a.k.a. I didn't pump my own gas until I moved to Connecticut 8 years ago)! Fueled by caffeine, I love discovering adorable coffee shops, supporting farm-to-table restaurants, and traveling anywhere and everywhere. Although I love exploring quaint towns across New England, I spend most days with my husband, 7-year-old daughter, our two Labradoodles, and cat! They take up most of my camera roll because they are just so darn cute.

My husband and I loved working with Sarah from Anchored Roots. Your wedding photographer is someone who will be with you during the entire event so you want to make sure it is someone your comfortable with and that you trust. Sarah is 100% the person you want with you on your wedding day. I'm generally an anxious person but Sarah made me feel at ease, not just in front of the camera but also generally throughout the day. She was able to quickly build good relationships with my family and friends and that led to a lot of natural and fun photos. Also, her photography style and editing style were exactly what I was looking for. Even a year later, I still constantly look at the photos she took.

Hello, My Name is Jurgen van der Pluijm WEDDING, FASHION, LIFESTYLE PHOTOGRAPHER and Artist I grew up in a multicultural family and have been exposed to two things since a young age - European Culture and African Culture As a seasoned photographer and artist, my work reflects a thoughtful exploration of the world around me. Armed with a strong foundation in art and a keen eye for detail, I approach my craft with a sense of curiosity and dedication. Through the lens of a camera, I strive to capture the essence of emotions, the beauty of nature, and the stories that lie within the ordinary.

Jay provided far more assistance with the pictures than I am accustomed to, ensuring we were in the best positions and that we didn’t miss any specific group photos we would have regretted not having from our wedding! His ability to capture a person’s very essence in his photography shows an excellence of training and skill!
