The Talented Photographer was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding. From the very first interaction, Alec's communication style was fun, professional, and incredibly personable. He had a true passion for his craft that shone through in every interaction. The quality of Alec's work was absolutely stunning - we got a wonderful variety of candids, formal shots, and editorial-style pictures that captured all the special moments of our day. Alec has an incredible eye for the right shots, and the final photos are absolutely gorgeous. Despite a complicated location schedule that I was worried about, Alec made the whole day seamless, traveling to over 4 different spots to ensure we got all the groupings and special shots we wanted. Alec truly went above and beyond, and we had such a great time working with him. I'm obsessed with the pictures and would give him an 11/10 rating!

"We had first met with Chris in person for a meet and greet, which I would have never thought to play such an integral role in the process.

Awarded Best of Zola
I cannot express enough how grateful we are to have found Chris to capture our special day. However, it goes beyond just that singular day. We had first met with Chris in person for a meet and greet, which I would have never thought to play such an integral role in the process. He demonstrated so much passion for the trade and was already so invested in making sure he was exactly the photographer we were looking for so we could truly get the most out of our day. He also took the time to visit the venue after our meeting to get an idea of what he'd be working with. Chris went above and beyond, every step of the way. He even made it a point to come during the rehearsal as well to be even further prepared. Everything flowed organically with his direction which took away so much stress from the day. Professionalism aside, Chris is just a good dude all around. We're so happy to come away from this experience with not only an amazing portfolio of memories, but a passionate and charismatic friend.

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!

The sneak peek exceeded our expectations, perfectly reflecting the vibe we were going for. We especially appreciated that Sarah took the initiative to photograph our wedding decor, even though we had forgotten to ask her to do so. She also had the BEST photo ideas, like the one of us kissing beneath my veil which ended up being my favorite photo! Her attention to detail and willingness to go the extra mile made her great value for the fair pricing. We would highly recommend Sarah B Photography to any couple looking for a talented, personable photographer to document their big day.

Hi, I’m Allison, and I’ve had the privilege of photographing weddings for over 10 years. 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!

From the moment we first reached out to Allison, we were impressed by her friendly and personable communication style. Allison provided us with fast turnaround time on our photos (which is perfect because I’m impatient!) The couples session we did was also a ton of fun. Allison was easy to work with throughout the entire process. My partner and I are thrilled with the photos that were captured. Thank you for creating pictures that will last a lifetime!

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!

My husband and I are enjoying living in the quiet woods of Haddam, CT with our fur babes Kenai and Topaz. Brian and I have been together since 2015 and got married in 2022 at a brewery. Born in New Haven, we’ve had the incredible experience of living around the country including Alaska, Oregon and Colorado. My perfect day is sitting outside in the autumn air drinking espresso while listening to a podcast or reading The Secret, again. The show Outlander is a guilty pleasure though Brian and I are always quoting New Girl and Bob’s Burgers. I love planning adventures, thrillers, football Sundays, wholesome conversation, cozy vibes and markets.

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.

She provides amazing customer service from the time you meet her through the time she delivers your digital album (3-4 weeks after your wedding day) and then beyond that was you order prints and create albums. I “clicked” with Teresa instantly the day we met and she held my husband and my hands through the entire planning process leading up to the wedding. She even shot a mini-engagement shoot in the week before the wedding so that my husband could meet her and she could see us interact together. We were completely confident that our day would go smoothly photography-wise and boy, did it ever! Once in full "game day" mode on our wedding day, Teresa balanced being friendly and accommodating to our wedding party and guests with doing the necessary crowd control to get the shots we asked her to, plus so many others! Her full day coverage allowed us to have pictures from both of our getting ready locations, our first look and then the ceremony and reception at our venue: four locations on a tight timeline which meant over 10 hours of shooting. After our big day, we were psyched to see our sneak preview pop up in our inbox less than 24 hours after the wedding with 100+ photos! Even better, our full album came through at around 3 weeks post-wedding. From what I've heard from other wedding couples, this is exceptional turnaround time compared to the majority of the industry. The photos themselves are nothing short of amazing! Teresa was able to capture the happiness and love we felt on our day and looking through the photos transported us right back to each of the special moments of our day. From our intimate first look to the formal portraits, to photos of our DIY wedding details, to the dance floor candids and our sparkler send off, and everything in between.... WOW! We recommend Teresa to anyone and everyone we can!

We’re Erin and Peter and we started this company in 2012. Since then we’ve quit our jobs and photographed 275+ weddings all over the east coast (but we’re willing to travel anywhere!) and we couldn’t love it more! Our photography style is cozy, natural and organic, and we love to focus on the in-between moments and the genuine emotions. We don’t pose people but instead direct them to do things that will bring out their real personalities and reactions which help us to get the most authentic photos.

We found Erin and Peter via Instagram and were instantly struck by their cozy and natural style. We were so excited when we reached out and they were available for our wedding date! We started with our engagement shoot at a venue Erin and Peter have photographed before, and they came prepared with the perfect plan to maximize the lighting and explore all the beauty the property has to offer. Leading up to the big day, Erin and Peter were so easy to communicate with and made sure we were at ease and prepared for the day. They created a timeline for the photos and were flexible when the schedule changed a bit. Erin and Peter are extremely efficient. Members of our wedding party who have been in other weddings commented on how smoothly the group photos went and that's all thanks to their professionalism. And maybe most importantly, they kept all the photo times FUN. Erin and Peter have an obvious passion for photography and it shows both in how they show up on the day and the beautiful end result. We can't wait to work with Erin and Peter in the future to capture more of life's big moments.

Hey, I'm Hayden. I've been photographing weddings across Connecticut and New England for over a decade, more than I can count at this point, but each one still feels special. I take a hybrid approach to photography with both digital and film photography for weddings. Best decision I ever made. Every wedding is different, but the best ones share something in common: they feel authentic. My job isn't to stage perfection; it's to document the real, beautiful, chaotic, joyful moments that make your day yours.

Budd is Best! Hayden is communicative and readily goes out of his way to adjust to and help you make excellent records of your engagement, wedding, and other events as well. He is excellent at matching the vibe of a wedding as well as applying his style to his artwork as well. He is easy to talk to and is a calm presence on the big day. You will love working with him!
