  • Classic style

I am a Wedding and Lifestyle Photographer based in Hartford, Connecticut. I take you on a journey of Storytelling through Capturing Memories. In my journey with photography, you will be able to immerse yourself in that feeling of exploring a new place for the very first time, to freeze and re-live the moment forever. My journey started in Australia. Love of photography and always searching for a new adventure let me do weddings, engagement, and many other aspects of photography. My passion is photography every time I shoot an event.

Kani was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding photography. Their communication style is easygoing, responsive, and accommodating. Kani was flexible in tailoring the photography timeline to our preferences. The quality of their work is outstanding - the photos beautifully capture genuine emotions and special moments with artistic composition. We wanted to do something unique for our engagement shoot that required significant travel. Despite flight delays that made for an extra long day, Kani maintained a positive attitude and took time to get fantastic photos in multiple locations that we'll treasure. Overall, Kani is a talented, dedicated photographer who cares about clients and produces fantastic work and memories.

Almost 20 years of experience and I still get as excited as I did when I first started photographing events! I got my BFA in photojournalism at Rochester Institute of Technology and my common sense from a well-lived, full life. From intimate weekday elopements to full scale destination events that require a team of photographers, I have done it all. I focus on telling the most full and vibrant story of your event, so you can look back and feel like you didn't missed a thing.

I've known Carla and have worked with her for over a decade! Being on the professional side of this industry, I am able to see not just how a vendor works with their couples but also the heart, soul, and absolute dedication they pour into every element behind the scenes that make such an impact in the service they provide. Something I've always witnessed with Carla is how personal she makes her process with her clients, which is so necessary, especially from a photography perspective! Your photographer is the person who captures every moment of your day you can think, and all the ones you can't. Having someone give you a forever memory of the real emotion, reactions, and who you are is so essential to the success and enjoyment of not just the day but the time leading up to it. That someone being able to connect with you is what allows that to happen, and Carla takes pride in how personal and truly special she makes going about this relationship. Her work is stunning, she is honest and forthcoming, and she has such a passion for what she does that it truly sets her apart from many!! Some of the best moments from events that I didn't know anyone other than the couple still hold such a special place in my heart because of the photos she's captured. I can only assume that the impact it has on the actual couple and family is insurmountably greater than what I feel to this day!

Our dream is to bring the people part of our family on a European tour one day!

Awarded Best of Zola
Melanie has such a passion for weddings and it shines through in her work! She took our engagement and wedding photos and we absolutely love them. Not everything went perfectly smoothly on either day (torrential rain on our engagement shoot day is one example) and Melanie remained calm, cool, and collected. She is patient, flexible, and a total joy to be around. Working together was a really fun experience and she brought our very specific vision for our photos (especially the engagement shoot) to life. Our photos even got featured on a blog or two, which I was so thrilled about! I highly recommend working with Melanie for your special occasions!!

This little hobby that started back in 2015 has become an absolute dream come true!! Photographing weddings is my second favorite part of this job, with working alongside my husband to serve the most incredible couples being the first! I knew from the start that I wanted my business to be focused on creating an amazing wedding experience that caters to each couple in a unique and memorable way! Our focus throughout the entire process is to make things easy, stress-free, and most of all FUN! Outside of this business, we also train Ninja Warrior and love exploring throughout New England & the Northeast!

Awarded Best of Zola
My wife and I had an absolutely traumatic photography search experience. Our original photographer never panned out, was shady, and never made it seem like they cared about the product. That's why when we decided to search for someone new and stumbled upon Chelsea, we knew the stars were aligning at the the correct time with this absolute blessing in disguise. From our first meeting, Chelsea listened to us, understood what we were coming from and where we wanted to go in terms of our photos. Her breathtaking bright and colorful photos were exactly what we were looking for in our April wedding. Despite meeting in person for the first time the day of our wedding, the lead up and communication day of made it feel like we were old friends seeing each other again. Both her and her husband/second shooter Ryan are top notch. They executed all the fun little quirks we wanted perfectly, including our groomsmen "NFL Entrance" photos, and private "First Touch". They stayed through most of the night and captured the entire reception, intros, dances, and party. We left for our honeymoon less than 2 days later, and by the time we landed, we already had 100 (!) photos as a sneak peek. The turnaround time was incredible. Chelsea prides herself on connecting with her clients, keeps her promises, and delivers exceptionally. We count our lucky stars we found Chelsea Lavallee Photography when we did. She made our day complete. Thank you Chelsea & Ryan!

Not only is Nick a phenomenal photographer, but he’s such a genuine person too. Our wedding date was changed 3 times due to Covid and we had to change the venue once as well. He was happy to change the date/location with us each time and always made sure to check in and see how we were holding up during the planning. I promise you won’t be disappointed by hiring Nick! We are so thankful for all the amazing photos he took for us!

We are Maegan and Joe DeCrescenzo, and the little peanut in the picture above is our daughter Juniper. We photograph couples and families during some of their lives most exciting moments. After almost 11 years of photographing weddings together we still get misty eyed at almost every wedding. We know first hand how awkward it can feel to be in front of the camera (umm...what do I do with my hands?), and thankfully know just what to do to make you feel at ease. With a mix of candid and gentle guiding and prompts we make sure you don't just get great photos, you also have a lot of fun.

Maegan has photographed me and my family many times. I usually feel very awkward in front of the camera, but she gives just the right amount of instruction to put you at ease, and look your best! Her communication and turn around time is also top notch.

Deirdre Photography

  • Serves Hartford, CT

I began capturing images in high school at a young age and fell in love with the process of capturing raw moments on camera. I decided to pursue my dream and go to school in Boston for photography. Alongside this, I have my sociology degree and really understand and connect with so many people. To me, building strong connections with my clients is so important and I find myself being able to easily talk to people of all walks of life. My knowledge of people and passion for photography sparked my pathway into wedding photography; capturing love filled couples and all the emotions that come with getting married.

Working with Deirdre was one of the best parts of our wedding! We were glad to meet her beforehand at the engagement shoot - she really helped us feel comfortable and went above and beyond to get shots in some different locations that held special meaning for us. At the wedding, it is SO good to have a familiar face. She again made not just my husband and I but the whole wedding party feel comfortable. She dealt with family chaos like it was no problem at all (when people tell you that family photos are the most stressful part of the day - BELIEVE THEM). She has an excellent eye for detail and captured some truly beautiful shots. Our sneak peeks are great - I know the full album is going to be special!!

With over 11 years of experience in the industry, we've developed a keen eye for capturing the natural nuances, energy, and relationships that make each wedding unique. Our style combines wedding photojournalism with fine art and fashion photography.

Kostromina Production was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding photography. From the very first interaction, their communication style was transparent, straightforward, and fast - which put us at ease immediately. Alena, our lead photographer, was instrumental in helping us create a detailed timeline for the day and even stepped in when our wedding coordinator was unavailable, ensuring everything ran smoothly. Her warm, outgoing personality and willingness to help with all aspects of planning, from budgeting to timeline creation, went above and beyond our expectations. The quality of Kostromina Production's work is undeniably high, and the final photos captured the beauty and emotion of our special day perfectly. We couldn't be happier with our decision to work with them and highly recommend their services to any couple planning their wedding.

Just like you, I have felt awkward in front of the camera. I’ve had photos taken of me that I didn’t like. When you go on a session with me, I will not only make you feel comfortable, but I will make sure you look good! I will give you prompts to keep you moving and laughing. I’m sorry but there are some angles, and poses that are not flattering for everyone. Like, please don’t take a photo of me from below! Hello double chin! What I’m saying is, I got you!

Awarded Best of Zola
Lacie was absolutely phenomenal to work with throughout the entire wedding planning process. From the moment we jumped on a phone call to see if they were a right fit, I knew they would be. Her enthusiasm, understanding, outgoing way that she relates to people is an energy that you want on your big day. Our engagement session was incredible, she moves so quickly but efficiently, as to ensure you get all the shots you want, but is very mindful of time. Our wedding day was COMPLETE because of Lacie. In addition to her positive attitude, she helped smooth the timeline of events during the day when exterior factors were impacting the photography, and problem solved so wonderfully on the spot. She stepped in to help in moments that were above and beyond what we hired her for, and for that I am truly grateful. Her photography style is versatile and beautiful, specifically catered to your preference. I can't imagine a better photographer for our wedding and we are so grateful!

HEY! I'M ASHLEY! Aka, Your Professional third wheel! I am so happy you dropped by! I am a uber bubbly, warm hearted, person who loves to order 3 drinks at Dutch Bros and say its for other people but really its just for me. When I am not spending my lifes savings at Dutch Bros, I am professionally following peeps in love and photographing their stories. I am a lover of true crime and murder podcasts! (But I mean who isnt! I just cant help it!) FUN FACT: I speak switzerdütsch, aka a German slang. My mom is originally from Switzerland and my dad from Jamaica, so you know I am always hungry for adventures (and new places to binge eat at).

Ashley Cynthia Photography provided excellent service for our wedding photography needs. Ashley's communication throughout the planning process was fast, caring and thoughtful - she truly wanted to understand our vision and preferences. On the big day, Ashley traveled from Arizona to capture our Colorado wedding. She helped immensely with organizing the timeline and coordinating with other vendors. Most importantly, the quality of Ashley's work is simply stunning. Her photographic style resulted in elegant, unique and professional photos that we will treasure forever. She perfectly captured the joy and love of our special day. We couldn't recommend Ashley highly enough for wedding photography services. She had us laughing and feeling more like a lifelong friend more than a photographer

We’re creators, travelers, and artists, but foremost: storytellers. Every wedding is a personal project for us, with unique couples, love stories, families and locations. We strive to tell that story through our lens, and create a one-of-a-kind piece of artwork you can enjoy for a lifetime.

Awarded Best of Zola
We just received our photos back from our wedding about a month ago, and we were blown away. We had a feeling the photos would be wonderful because of how professional and attentive our photographer (Athel) was, but of course there is always still that suspense. The team at Indigo and Ivory was wonderful throughout the entire process, always communicative, and it felt like they really cared. Athel even drove a good distance to attend an open house with us at our venue, to get some ideas ahead of time around what settings would be best. He was lovely throughout the whole event, super accommodating of our special requests, and captured all the most important moments. We cannot recommend them enough, the images came out amazing and we are getting tons of compliments! If there is anything I would do differently (and this is not any knock on Indigo and Ivory, this is just general advice for anyone looking to hire any photographer), I probably would have went ahead and added a second photographer for the day (which is something they offer). I wanted to cut costs a bit so we didn't go for it - but of course if you have two you will make sure to get all the different angles you are hoping for and then each person can spend a bit more time with both wedding parties to capture more of those candid moments. I also wish I had made sure to put together a better list of shots that I wanted - once again, these are items that I recommend in general and has nothing to do with Indigo and Ivory. If there are certain things you want your photographer to capture, make sure to write them down and communicate! With all that being said, even if you go with just one photographer and you happen to forget to write down all the specific moments or you just want things to be more free-flow - I 100% recommend Indigo and Ivory for you! They are wonderful and I'm so happy we have these gorgeous images to treasure for years to come.

My biggest passion in life is travel and photography. My goal is to share the latter with you! Whether you are just newly engaged or planning for your special day I would love to create moments and memories with you! I love photographing in places around the city. If I'm not photographing at the Boston Public Garden then I am roaming the streets of back bay and Copley Square or taking in the Boston Harbor views.

Salma was the perfect choice for our wedding photography. From the moment we first connected, Salma was incredibly responsive, understanding, patient, and fun to work with. Her communication style put us at ease, and her artistic eye and talent for capturing gorgeous, creative shots was apparent in both our engagement and wedding photos. Salma went above and beyond, visiting the venue ahead of time to understand the space and lighting, and even making sure to get beautiful photos of our whole wedding party, including our dog! Despite our initial discomfort in front of the camera, Salma had great ideas for poses that highlighted our love and made us feel natural and comfortable. We are thrilled with the final results and would highly recommend Salma K Photography to any couple looking for an exceptional photography experience on their special day.
