My husband and I absolutely adore Kristen. Trying to pick a photographer was an overwhelming decision for us due to the fact that there are so many different styles and we weren’t sure what we were looking for. But once we talked to Kristen on the phone we knew she was the perfect fit for us. Her energy over the phone was so infectious and made us excited to get in front of her camera. Our first time meeting her was at our engagement shoot. We decided to go with a sunrise beach session and Kristen showed up with energy and ready to capture our love. She was down to do any pose and was always hyping us up on how perfect our pictures were coming out. We had so much fun and were just able to relax and be ourselves. This all translated into the beautiful pictures we received from Kristen. From the time of our engagement shoot (July 2023) to our wedding (September 2024) Kristen was always checking in to see how we were doing and how excited she was to shoot our big day. It was so awesome to have constant check ins with her!! The day of our wedding (9/21/24) was so amazing thanks to Kristen. She was with us for majority of the day and always made sure to hype us all up and to make sure I knew I could take breaks from pictures at any time. All of our guests absolutely loved her as much as my husband and I do. 10/10 would recommend her for any photography services. She is amazing to work with, takes beautiful pictures, and is professional but also knows how to have a good time.

📸 Hi, I'm Chelsea, a wedding photographer with a love for capturing joy! With 5 years of professional experience (many more years as a hobbyist), my style mixes classic elegance with candid moments. I believe in creating a relaxed, fun environment, ensuring your special day is beautifully immortalized. Let's capture your love story! 💌

Awarded Best of Zola
Chelsea is AMAZING! We did our engagement shoot and wedding photos with Chelsea; my husband and I head over heels in love with how the photos came out. During all the time we spent with Chelsea, she made us feel so comfortable and natural. We loved how Chelsea let us be ourselves and captured all the beautiful candid moments of us together. She knows how to bring a good balance of candid photos and posed photos (which can sometimes feel awkward, but she made it so easy and fun!). She is insanely creative! We gave her some general direction of what photos we wanted and trusted that she could have fun and surprise us with the results. She more than delivered with this! Chelsea also is so impressive with her turnaround time for photos. Both our engagement shoot photos and wedding photos were returned to us so fast! Our wedding guests raved about the photos. We cannot wait to return to Chelsea in the future, and we wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone in need of a photographer!

Hii! I'm Nicole and I work full-time as a nurse and pursued my passion for photography in 2017 when I would attend my boyfriend (now husband's) motocross races all over New England. I quickly began capturing family and friends and learned that I loved capturing moments in life big and small! I love capturing people in love and enjoy being able to make others feel beautiful and confident through my photos.

Nicole York Photography was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding. From the very start, their communication was top-notch - they were always available via text, call, or email, and made the entire process incredibly easy. The quality of their work was simply wonderful, effortless, and perfect. Nicole even went above and beyond, carrying my train for me throughout the day since I didn't have any bridesmaids. She is truly a hard worker who goes out of her way to make you feel special on your big day. Nicole is a complete sweetheart, and I would recommend her photography services to anyone planning a wedding.

I am a teal obsessed, chocoholic, wife & fur mama who can’t get enough of capturing love stories! Photography has been a passion project for many years but after my own 2014 wedding, I decided to parlay my years of experience in child portraiture and transition to the amazing world of wedding days! It's been 8 years and I never looked back! My goal is to not only capture bright, bold, natural images but truly share in your love story!

My husband and I met with Mariel 4 days before our wedding for our engagement shoot and was so impressed with her work, we knew she would be a blast to work with for our special day! Her response time with emails/texts was quick and always answered all of our questions. We would absolutely have Mariel shoot pictures for us in the future!

Awarded Best of Zola
Working with Kathy from Simply K Studios was an absolute dream! Full disclosure: I've known Kathy since she was my high school teacher, and have followed her photography ever since she made her career change. As soon as we got engaged, I knew without a doubt that I wanted her to photograph our wedding. Her work is stunning, and her eye for detail is incredible. From the engagement shoot to the wedding day, Kathy brought such a calming, upbeat energy that instantly put us at ease. I don't love getting my picture taken and often feel awkward in front of a camera, but Kathy is so chill and instantly puts you at ease. She has a knack for guiding you through natural-looking poses, and her prompts led to photos that feel candid and real — nothing cheesy or stiff. It honestly felt like we were just having fun together, not "posing" for photos. Kathy also recommended our videographer (Matt Van Ness! Also highly recommended!), and they worked seamlessly as a team the entire day - their synergy made it clear that they've worked together before! I can’t recommend Simply K Studios enough. Kathy clearly loves what she does and that love shows up in her pictures. If you're looking for a photographer who’s both incredibly talented and an absolute joy to be around, Kathy is it. We’re so lucky to have had her capture our day!

Please contact me directly through my website for a faster reply. I HAVE THE BEST JOB! I Mean It. Though You'll Hardly Notice Me When It Counts, I Will Have A Front Row Seat For The Happiest And Most Memorable Moments Of Your Life. I Will Probably Squeal In Excitement With You As You Slip Into Your Dress On The Big Day. I Will Cry When You Walk Down The Aisle To Your Best Friend. I'll Cheer When You Have Your First Kiss As Husband And Wife, And Dance With You When The Celebration Begins. And When All Is Said And Done, I Will Create A Collection Of Real, Colorful & Timeless Photographs That Will Preserve The Perfection Of Your Day Forever.

I have been lucky to work with Jessica several times. As a fellow artist that loves the play of light and shade, the sunlight streaming through the trees, the true colors of nature, the way the breeze blows a lock of hair as a groom kisses his bride, I love to see her photography. As a makeup artist I’m also interested in seeing the photos of the faces of the bridal party so I can make sure my craft translates well in pictures, and appreciate when a photographer shares them with me. I still remember a photo from a wedding that was simply the couple seated at their sweetheart table at dinner and photographed from behind through a rustic grey barn door; you couldn’t see their faces but it was so visually beautiful with the grey rough wood juxtaposed with the back of the elegant lace gown as they were holding hands during the reception I still haven’t forgotten it. It was a moment no one else would ever have seen and perhaps the couple may have other forgotten, except Jessica captured that little moment in time. I feel that a couple will treasure the beautiful naturally posed photos she does, but will also especially remember their joy of their wedding day with a photo like that. Jessica is personable, kind, punctual and helps the couples to enjoy the photo taking session. I can’t wait to work with her again because she is so fun, you don’t have to wait a long time for the edited photos, and her work is gorgeous!

My husband Andrew and I know that we are our best and most authentic selves when we’re supported and intentional with our time and each other - especially since the arrival of our daughter. Marriage teaches you a lot of things, and I truly believe that my marriage has taught me how to be a better friend, communicator, and business owner. I get excited about connecting with people, building friendships with my couples, and sharing their stories through imagery.

Awarded Best of Zola
I’ve worked with many different photographers, and in my opinion Cora is one of the best photographers in CT. Her work is exquisite and authentic. Cora and her assistant Jess (also incredible) captured intricate details, memorable moments, and unpredicted candids. My favorite candids of all was one of me dancing with my 98-year-old grandmother. Aside from her impeccable photography skills, Cora is a wonderful person. COVID-19 created a few plot twists for our July 2020 wedding. We had been planning our CT wedding from Colorado (where we reside) and had to jump every hurtle imaginable; state mandates, new venue restrictions, timeline adjustments, COVID tests. Despite it all, Cora was supportive, helpful, and accommodating. She genuinely takes an interest in getting to know her couples and has your best interest at heart. Our wedding day turned out to be better than anything we could have planned and I am so glad I hire Cora as our wedding photographer. I adore Cora and the friendship we built through wedding planning. We plan to hire her for future family formals as our family grows!

Photography, to me, isn’t about stiff poses or rushing through a timeline. It’s about creating space for you to breathe, laugh, tear up, and fully live your day. I care deeply about making you feel comfortable and confident in front of my camera, because when you feel at ease, your images feel natural, elevated, and completely authentic. This isn’t just a job for me — it’s storytelling, legacy, and the privilege of preserving moments that will matter long after the cake is gone and the music fades.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Nicole and her work! Professional and beyond my expectations! She captures whatever it is she’s photographing perfectly. She’s creative and takes control in large group settings, helping everyone know where they need to be. She was a blast to work with and just has a great calm energy. I couldn’t imagine anyone better capturing our wedding day. Hire her!!

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

WE LOVE MJC IMAGE !!!! Mary is the absolute best !!! With any questions we had Mary responded instantly, she was fabulous with communication. If I overloaded her with questions, as every bride does, she would squeeze me in quickly with a zoom or ft call. She is super busy so her quality of response time was so appreciated. The second I saw Mary’s work, I knew I had to have her photograph my wedding. My husband and I had never done a photo shoot before our wedding, so we did an engagement shoot to get a little practice in before the wedding. Mary made us feel so at ease, we thought it would be awkward, Nope! Mary instantly felt like a friend we knew forever. Not to mention her pictures from both engagement shoot and wedding day are my favorite pictures ever taken. If you’re looking for a photographer Mary is your best option !

I’m a storyteller. That’s what I’m here to do - document the story of one of your greatest celebrations. My work is heavily focused on the authentic, unplanned moments. My approach is observational and real, creating images that are genuine representations of you, those you love, and the space and moments you share.

I'm people-centric which means that, I'm focusing on you, your guests, and the real moments you're sharing together.

Awarded Best of Zola
I knew we needed to book Kaitlin from the second I found her Zola profile, but it was completely solidified by our meet and greet meeting. Kaitlin is exactly as described. So personal, completely herself, open and transparent, I could go on and on. One of the biggest things that sold us with Kaitlin (besides her work) was the fact that she gave us advice on what to look for/questions to ask with other photography vendors while we were on our hunt. We had our engagement photos in October in Boothbay Harbor and we are actually located in Western Mass. I had ideas in my head about what would work and Kaitlin made the drive to check out the locations and ensure they actually would. One of my locations wasn't the best lighting wise and she gave multiple other options to get similar looks. We actually ended up doing some downtown photos which are some of my favorites (which is a little a lie because I am obsessed with all of them). I read in multiple of Kaitlin's reviews that she makes awkward people comfortable behind the camera and I am here to say it is true. I was so stressed going into things, worried my hair looked bad, we wouldn't get *the* shot, we would look weird, etc. Kaitlin immediately asked me what my worries were and I felt so at ease. Working with Kaitlin felt like working with with a lifelong friend who really has it all together and is such a professional. I truly know that our wedding day is going to be that much better knowing she is going to be there documenting it all.

It's been 15 years running this small business as a Boston wedding photographer, a New England wedding photographer, working all around the greater Boston area and traveling to destination weddings as well. It's been a crazy ride so far, and I can honestly say I still love what I do!

Ultimately, that's what it's all about, serving my clients and creating an amazing experience.

Awarded Best of Zola
I discovered Randall Garnick Photography back in Fall 2019 when my husband and I were newly engaged and checking out Elm Bank in Wellesley. While discussing services the venue offered, we happened upon a wedding album on a table in the meeting room. As we were flipping through the photos, I was drawn to how beautifully Randy was able to capture this couple in their element. There’s something truly magical about being able to capture candid moments. With what I previewed, I didn’t need to go online to read reviews for Randy to know that I wanted to book him for our wedding. With his warm and inviting personality, working with Randy was truly a delightful experience. We had our engagement photoshoot at deCordova Sculpture Park and Museum, literally a week before the world shut down during the 2020 pandemic. The museum was already shut down to the public, but the sculpture park remained open. Randy really took his time in finding spots in the park to take our shots. But what I loved most about his style and technique was that he didn’t tell us how to pose, as to not create heavily curated photos. Instead, he simply gave us suggestions or a general direction on what we could do, so we had the freedom to act as we pleased and knew Randy would find that perfect candid moment to capture. Our original wedding date was supposed to be in October 2020 but got postponed to October 2021, and Randy was responsive and accommodating to those changes. When our wedding day finally arrived, Randy and his assistant, Wayne, were on their A-game the entire day. They even catered to our silly request in taking photos of us eating our appetizers. Thanks to Randy and Wayne, our wedding day at Elm Bank lives forever through all the beautiful photos that were captured. I can not recommend him enough. Thank you again, Randy and Wayne!

From first contact to wedding day, I am so happy to have chosen Elle and Co. and specifically Dani.  I couldn't be happier with communication, energy, and direction while taking photos.  Our Colorado elopement was beautiful and Dani helped with every step including finding a wonderful spot.  She kept us updated on weather and timeline so we had nothing to worry about and even hyped us up beforehand.  During my boudoir shoot she made extra effort to make me comfortable since I've never done anything like that before.  The pictures were so good and made the perfect wedding day gift for my new hubby.  Highly recommend Elle and Co. to anyone who has photography needs but especially if you think you might want to elope to a gorgeous spot and do a private event or if you want to take some boudoir type photos for a special gift.  She goes above and beyond with everything she does and you can't do better.  Thanks Dani!!

I seriously can’t put into words how amazing she was and cannot recommend her enough. She was great to have around on our wedding day and I am so happy with our photos. The groomsmen didn't have their act together, even though she provides a detailed schedule, and she was totally chill about it and was like no biggie I'll be back in 30. My fiancé commented on how awesome she was (didn't comment on any other vendors) and one of his groomsmen did too (see first pic). This was before we even saw the pics and they turned out better than I could have imagined. At one point I told her I was done taking pics I wanted to go talked to people and dance, so was a little worried if we got enough shots, but was blown away with the results. I also told her I didn't care that much about getting ready pics but wanted a lot of guest candids and she delivered. She also got way more getting ready pics than I even expected. We didn't want to spend money on a second photographer and she was fine with that and got all the pics we wanted on her own. She truly listened to what we wanted and was incredible at communication and organization. On top of that, she is one of the sweetest people I’ve ever met, and truly a calming presence during all of the chaos on wedding day. I feel sooo lucky we found her.

After your venue — and your partner (in that order) — your photographer is the most important choice you’ll make for your wedding. They’re the ones who help you preserve the day forever. They’re also with you through so much of it, so you want people who make you feel comfortable, relaxed, and genuinely add to the experience. Joe and Elin do exactly that. From start to finish, they partnered with us to make sure everything ran seamlessly — from helping us build a detailed timeline to ensuring everyone felt included and cared for throughout the weekend. We lost count of how many guests asked, “Who are your photographers? They’re the nicest people!” or commented on how Joe and Elin made the day even better — and how often do you hear that? They captured every moment beautifully, brought a sense of calm and fun to the day, and left us with photos we’ll treasure forever. Joe and Elin are the easy choice — and one of the best decisions you’ll make for your wedding.

Hi! My name is Courtney. I am the owner and lead shooter of Courtney Cohen Photography. I am based out of Barrington, RI, and love to spend time with my husband, toddler, and dog by the beaches of Rhode Island. I have a very candid approach when it comes to photography. I want to capture the raw emotion that you will remember for years and years to come. I shoot mainly outdoors with natural light but am trained with OCF (off-camera flash) for any low light or indoor locations. I strive to work with my clients not only to give them amazing pictures but also to make their lives as easy as possible. I hope that you reach out and we can chat!

Courtney is fantastic! Obviously her photos are incredible, but beyond that she is just great to work with. She made my fiance and I both feel so comfortable during our engagement shoot- she was great with our dog too who we we included in our photos! Working with her along this whole process has been great- Courtney knows her stuff and has been so helpful with planning and executing everything so far during our wedding planning process. I can't wait to keep working with her! Also for our wedding day- I can’t say enough great things about Courtney. It was like having a friend with me the whole day- she was so amazing at making sure the day went smoothly. And the photos came out absolutely perfect. I will definitely be sticking with her for any of our photo needs in the future!!

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 am hopeless romantic and I will probably shed a tear at every wedding I attend or photograph, so if you see me wipe a tear at your wedding no you didn't lol. I am also a dog mom and I love animals in general, my puppy means the world to me! I am a dedicated, passionate, fun and caring person and I put love in everything I do. I can't wait to work with you!

Jenni is an absolute gem of a human and a phenomenal photographer. She is so sweet and such a lovely personality. We first worked with Jenni to take our engagement photos, and my husband and I immediately felt comfortable and familiar with her. We are not comfortable in front of the camera at all, but Jenni somehow made us feel like we'd been taking photos together with her for years. After our engagement shoot, I knew Jenni needed to be our wedding photographer. We more or less picked our wedding date based on her availability! A few weeks after booking our wedding with Jenni, she sent us the loveliest care package with a typewriter-written note and a few goodies. She puts so much thought and care into everything she does! On the day of the wedding, Jenni immediately hopped into action. She was patient, kind, and had such confidence in what she was doing (which was so needed, considering you're dealing with not just us as the couple, but our families as well). We were barely past the weekend after our wedding, and we already have sneak peeks! Jenni is a master! Looking at what she was able to capture is truly amazing. I usually do not like looking at photos of myself, but I can't stop looking at these pictures!! I can't believe the gallery she sent is just the sneak peeks - I can't wait to see what else she captured when we receive the full gallery in a few weeks! Jenni is truly the best at what she does. I can't recommend her enough!!

I had the absolute pleasure of being photographed by Debbie for my bridal shower this year, and she did a phenomenal job. From the moment she arrived, her energy was incredible; she’s fun, funny, and such a joy to be around. She has this rare ability to walk into a room and instantly elevate the vibe, which matters so much during events where emotions are high, and things don’t always go exactly as planned. What truly sets Debbie apart is her ability to deliver a gallery that looks and feels perfect, even when real-life conditions aren’t. In the world of events, something will always deviate from the plan; that’s just the nature of it, but Debbie captures the moments in a way that lets you hold onto only the joy, the beauty, and the fun forever. Her photos don’t just document the day, they preserve the feeling you want to remember. I’ve also had the pleasure of working with Debbie professionally on several intimate weddings and minimonies, with me as the planner/coordinator and her as the photographer. Every time, she delivers a visually stunning gallery while making clients feel completely comfortable being themselves. She will hype you up, make you feel amazing, and create an environment where you feel confident in your own skin, and that confidence translates beautifully in the portraits. No awkward sessions here. If you want someone who is authentic, brings great energy, and makes even stressful moments feel lighter, hire Debbie for your next intimate event. This is truly her zone of genius, and I cannot recommend her enough.

We are so happy we went with Vlad for our wedding. He was so friendly and good at his job. He was able to get all the shots we wanted, and he had some photo ideas that we didn’t even think of that we are really grateful we took. He was really capturing the moment the entire time. Highly recommend choosing Vlad!
