Hayden Budd Photo + Film

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.

Why film + digital? I shoot both because they each do something the other can't. Film gives you that timeless, nostalgic quality, the kind of images that feel like they could've been taken in any decade. Digital gives me the flexibility to capture every moment without compromise. Together, they tell your story more completely than either could alone.
