Hi, I'm Vinny Alves! I am a husband, father of two and wedding photographer in my free time. I am passionate for what I do. My job? To capture it all in a way that feels natural, cinematic, and timeless. But more than just taking photos, I’m here to guide you through the day, making sure you feel comfortable, confident, and fully present in every moment. My style? Cinematic, with a mix of artistic, classic, and documentary influences. That means your photos will feel like a movie—elegant, emotional, and storytelling-driven—while still being true to who you are.

Awarded Best of Zola
I had the honor of having Vinny capture one of the most important moments of my life, my proposal to my fiancée. I chose him because I knew he would be the perfect person for such a special occasion, and he exceeded every expectation. On a snowy day, during a storm, Vinny never hesitated for a second. Despite the freezing cold, he dedicated hours with us in the park, making sure every detail was captured beautifully. The photos turned out extraordinary, truly beyond what we could have imagined. What impressed me the most was his care and dedication. My fiancée and I are not used to posing for photos, but Vinny guided us patiently and naturally through every step, making us feel comfortable and confident. His attention to detail, creativity, and professionalism transformed that day into timeless memories. I am deeply grateful for what he did for us and recommend his services without hesitation. Vinny is an outstanding professional who pours his heart into his work, and the results speak for themselves.

Callie Ying Photography

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,880
  • Serves West Redding, CT

I’m a wedding and lifestyle photographer based in New York and Connecticut. I capture moments that feel alive—honest, emotional, and deeply meaningful. While I love beautifully decorated weddings, I’m equally passionate about photographing celebrations that are simple, imperfect, and real. Your florals don’t need to be full, and your venue doesn’t need to be luxurious. What matters most is your connection. I’m especially drawn to noticing the most touching moments in any setting—your emotions, your interactions, and the quiet love you share.

Awarded Best of Zola
I am so grateful she was there for my big day—her presence made everything feel effortless and truly special. From the very beginning, she was incredibly thoughtful and professional. Before the shoot, we met to discuss our ideas, and she took the time to truly understand our vision. Not only did she listen attentively, but she also shared her own creative suggestions based on her research, making everything even better than we had imagined. On the day of the shoot, having her there felt like having a trusted guide and a dear friend by my side, capturing beautiful moments in the most natural way. She created such a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere that I never once worried about how the photos would turn out—I simply enjoyed the moment. Her presence on my ceremony day wasn’t just about taking pictures; she played a key role in making sure everything went smoothly. When we received the final photos, my husband and I were beyond thrilled. Each image felt like a window back to that magical day, filled with love and joy. We couldn’t stop looking at them! Her talent, patience, and warmth made this experience truly unforgettable. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer who can capture not just pictures, but emotions and memories that last a lifetime.

I'm Meghan Ann Imagery! I'm an artist, storyteller, and lover of love. It's fitting I ended up as a wedding photographer, right? I'm based in Connecticut but wishing for the dream inquiries that will send me to Alaska, Colorado, or some place new.

I found Meghan on TikTok literally the day after I got engaged and immediately knew she had to be our photographer. I wouldn’t let my husband take no for an answer — and I’m so glad I didn’t. From the very beginning, Meghan was friendly, down-to-earth, and made both of us feel totally comfortable (which was really important to me because I normally feel so awkward in front of a camera!). She did both our engagement shoot and our wedding, and was amazing at communicating throughout the whole process. She really took the time to understand our vision for a cozy, casual backyard wedding — and brought it to life through her warm, documentary-style photos that perfectly captured the vibe of the day. So many guests commented on how awesome the photographers were! Even though I leaned toward candid, documentary shots, Meghan was super flexible and helped us with some posed photos too, which turned out beautiful. She even helped set up our tattoo station (and got her own temporary sleeve — iconic), and sent us some Polaroids after the wedding, which was the cutest touch. Overall, Meghan was such a good vibe. It honestly felt like hanging out with a close friend who just happened to have a camera and a really good eye (: Can’t recommend her enough!

Hi! I'm Nina! I'm an ex-Brooklynite residing in the beautiful hills of New England. I'm an analog (meaning film) and digital photographer specializing in documentary, editorial, and photojournalistic-style wedding photography. That means more images that are true to you and the moments you live, and fewer posed ones -- though we'll make sure to capture some of those too! With a background in commercial photography I am well versed in creating magical photo sets that capture the grandest and the most subtle moments of your day, and everything in-between. Your pictures are going to be the talk of the town!

Awarded Best of Zola
Nina is both a brilliant photographer and an incredible person. When our photographer was running late for our getting ready shots, Nina, who we hadn’t planned to shoot for us, stepped in completely of their own volition. The photos they took for us were some of our favorites of the entire day. Their eye for detail and framing is second to none. Their interest in vintage photography really left us with some special pieces we are going to treasure for the rest of our lives. If you’re looking for a kind, talented, and trustworthy photographer for your event, you’ve found one in Nina.

As a wedding photographer with many years of experience, I have come to appreciate the beauty of genuine moments and the power of the little details. They provide a timeless and elegant look that truly captures the essence of a wedding day. I am based in New England, but I travel often for weddings! Some of my favorite places to shoot are the beaches and the city of Newport, RI. There is nothing like the White Mountains in New Hampshire. The old cobblestone roads of Boston and the skyline of NYC. Charleston, SC is somewhere I would like to call home one day but for now traveling there for weddings and engagements might be my favorite.

Andrea she made my day run so smoothly! She made everyone in my wedding party so comfortable. I was able to take golden hour photos and actually enjoy my cocktail hour. Andrea also sends you a sneak peak within a couple of days so you get some bomb photos quickly while you wait on your gallery. Her assistant Justine was so fun too and kept all the groomsman in line. She really payed attention to mine and my husbands personalities and was able to really capture us through the lens. I didn’t get a videographer for my wedding and I don’t regret it one bit. I feel like she captured our day through photos.

What obsesses me with photography the most is that I get to capture a moment in time that we all can recall back to. This can be a simple photo with a friend or an intimate moment with a loved one. All these moments hold a special place in all of us. This is what your wedding day is supposed to be about. A day filled with the memories of all your loved ones as you celebrate the start of a new journey together. A day filled with laughter, cheers, and tears and I want to be there to capture it all! If are planning a wedding, elopement, or engagement, please feel free to browse my work and if it resonates with you don't hesitate to reach out!

My father was a professional photographer for many years so when planning our wedding, my husband and I knew that finding a talented photographer was at the top of our priority list. We consider ourselves incredibly fortunate to have discovered Kevin because he exceeded all our expectations. From the moment we met Kevin, he had a way of making us feel completely at ease in front of the camera. He not only captured stunning posed photos but also effortlessly seized beautiful candid moments. Kevin's talent was apparent when he was able to work with our overcast weather and managed to frame and capture each shot like a true work of art. Every single photo we received perfectly conveyed the emotions and energy of our special day. What truly amazed us was the speed at which he delivered about 47 sneak-peek photos just one day after the wedding, and each of them was breathtakingly beautiful. My father would have undoubtedly been proud and delighted with the work Kevin accomplished on our wedding day. Kevin's talent has left us with cherished memories in the form of these stunning photographs.

Hey! My name is Bill. I’ve been practicing photography since 2016, where I started in automotive (if you can guess what I named my business after, bonus points). My whole process is structured mainly to eliminate the stress of worrying about your timeline on your special day. It starts with a consultation, and ends with a call a month before to solidify your schedule. My style is a blend of documentary and artistic, meaning the candid photos are what really matter, but the posed photos are what might print and frame. Regardless, your day is my focus (pun intended). If you think we’d vibe, let’s chat and make your special day great!

I am so happy you are here! You are either engaged, pregnant, you just became parents, or you simply love pretty, romantic, dreamy pictures like I do. I'm Jessie, originally from The Netherlands. Friends and family describe me as the most romantic dreamer they know. I love the sparkling joy of engaged couples, the romantic vibe during a wedding, the glow of expectant mothers, and the pure love between new parents and their children.

From the moment I first saw Jessie's work, I knew I wanted her to be our wedding photographer. And I every second of my experience with Jessie since then was just amazing! Jessie was among the very first vendors I booked, so I had a lot of questions and a lot of items to still plan/work through. Jessie was so unbelievably patient and helpful in talking everything through with me, and I felt so confident that she prioritized our best interest with everything she recommended! Jessie is unbelievably knowledgeable about her art and does a beautiful, beautiful job capturing elegance and romance in all of her photos. I particularly love how Jessie just "sees" when/where to get perfect lighting, and her talent is obvious in any photo you see of her's. We did our engagement shoot with Jessie in NYC on the water at sunrise (which Jessie drove down early for!) and it was my husband's and my first time in front of the camera for a professional shoot like that. Both my husband and I are very uncomfortable in front of the camera and were worried about whether we would need to learn/practice how to pose for photos before the engagement shoot and wedding. We felt so comfortable with Jessie from the very start, and on top of that, Jessie was very detailed-oriented in walking us through every movement and pose during the shoot itself. We were amazed at how natural we looked in every photo! Jessie is also super well-organized and intentional about everything, which is a must-have on your wedding day! I had put so much though into all of the photos I was going to want from my wedding, and on the day of, it was an absolute out-of-body experience. Jessie struck the perfect balance of helping direct us/everyone and making sure we got everything we needed, but was also very patient and accommodating with us and all of our people throughout the entire day. I am struggling to find the words to articulate just how much I LOVED having Jessie as our wedding photographer, and am clearly making up for that with a lengthy review, but the last thing I'll say is this: Jessie was so incredible to have on our vendor team from the very first day to the last, but at the end of the day, what matters most is how you like your photos. Jessie sent us a sneak peek of our wedding photos 2 days after our wedding while my husband and I were on our honeymoon, and not only did I burst into tears at how beautiful they all were, but I also could not stop looking at them. We ultimately decided that I was going to leave my phone in the hotel room when we went out because I couldn't stop myself from looking at the photos over and over and over again. I am only able to upload 10 photos with my review, and I had a difficult time picking just 10 to showcase just how amazed we were/are with them! We picked a handful of the photos we particularly love because Jessie did such an incredible job of capturing the authenticity of our emotions and energy that you can feel it through the photo. I cannot wait until the day we can use Jessie again when we are ready for a newborn photoshoot! Thank you, Jessie and team, SOOO much for everything!
