My wedding photos are works of art. I can’t believe it’s me in some of the pictures because they’re like a fairytale. Rebekah mentioned how she likes to get that really special shot and did she ever. The picture of my new husband and me in front of this gorgeous tree is unlike anything I’ve seen. When I look at all of our photos I feel like I’m back in that moment on that gorgeous perfect day!

We are Justin and Allison, a newly married husband and wife photography team serving all of New England and beyond! Our goal is to make you comfortable, and make sure each special moment of your day is preserved for you to look back on for years to come! We want the magical feeling you feel on your wedding day to live on each time you look at your photos, capturing a moment in time. We will rangle rogue uncles for group shots, crack a joke or two to get some genuine smiles, and overall make this process as easy and carefree as it should be on your big day!

We are SO thankful to have found Justin and booked him for our Wedding day 6/17/23. He was so helpful in working with us to develop a custom package to fit our needs. My now husband and I are both active duty, and were planning a Massachusetts-based wedding from Texas, and Justin was so helpful in being able to work with us and plan from afar. He was great at wrangling up our 12 person bridal party and our families to get all of the photos we could have wanted. He took photos all night of us and our guests, as well as all of the little details and decorations. We also had a last minute weather change where our wedding day, within days, shifted from sun to thunderstorms. I contacted Justin in a panic and he was so incredibly reassuring that we would have beautiful photos anyway and he adjusted perfectly. We are so happy and would recommend Justin and his team to anyone looking for a fair-priced, exceptionally talented photographer!!!!

Hey, I'm Mary! It's nice to meet you. Summing up who I am in an "about me" is always difficult. 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.

Awarded Best of Zola
Having Mary as our wedding photographer was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From our first phone call to engagement photos to the day of she was so helpful, warm, and organized; she made getting the photos we wanted and being where we needed to be at the right time feel so easy and fun. And the photos speak for themselves; we absolutely love them!!

There are not enough words to express how incredible Lindsay and Nathan are. Recommended to us by a friend, Lindsay and Nathan were the perfect fit for us as wedding photographers. From our very first call to our wedding day, Lindsay and Nathan couldn’t have been more professional. They are willing to do anything to make your vision come to life. From traveling, to building an effective timeline, clear and frequent communication, and incredible planning, they made our wedding day a dream. Going into this experience, my husband and I were nervous about being in front of the camera. Lindsay and Nathan helped to make us feel comfortable and confident. As a result, we have photos of our engagement and wedding that truly capture who we are. Lindsay and Nathan’s work is truly unmatched. We received our entire engagement album within a week, photos to share from our wedding the very next day, a sneak peek of our wedding album within 72 hours, and our full wedding album within a week of our wedding. The day of our wedding, it felt like I was working with a close friend. Lindsay was encouraging and calming during any stressful moments that arose and truly helped to make the day run smoothly. I am genuinely grateful for both Lindsay and Nathan’s time, creative energy, and work. They are passionate about what they do and it shows. I could not recommend Lindsay Eileen Photography enough. They are an absolute dream to work with!

Hi there! I’m Emma CotéEwers, your East Coast & Destination Wedding and Lifestyle Photographer! My work is a seamless blend of traditional heirloom portraiture, lively artistic shots, and a little ​photojournalism if the day calls for it. With a true-to-color, film-inspired approach, I strive to craft visuals that capture love, ​laughter, and those beautifully authentic moments that weave together the story of your ​wedding! I feel like these should include fun ​facts? Patsy Cline’s Walkin’ After Midnight is my favorite song and I am currently on my 8th ​nostalgic binge of Gilmore Girls (which might just be fueling my banter lately).

We had the pleasure of working with Emma for our engagement photos, my bridal portraits, bridal shower and our rehearsal dinner. We couldn't be happier with the results. From the very beginning, Emma was incredibly professional, attentive, and truly passionate about capturing the essence of our love story. For our engagement session, she made us feel completely at ease and guided us with such a gentle touch, making the experience fun and natural. The photos turned out absolutely stunning, capturing the joy, excitement, and deep connection we share. When it came time for my bridal portraits, Emma exceeded all expectations. She understood how important these photos were to me, especially since I was wearing my late grandmother’s ring, which holds immense sentimental value. Emma managed to capture not only the beauty of the dress and the setting but also the emotions and memories tied to this moment. She has an incredible eye for detail and lighting, and the photos are a perfect blend of candid and posed shots that reflect our personalities and relationship beautifully. The final images are more than just pictures; they are timeless keepsakes that we will cherish forever. If you're looking for a photographer who is talented, thoughtful, and genuinely invested in telling your story through photos, look no further than Emma. We can't recommend her enough! Thank you, Emma, for capturing these special moments that we'll treasure for a lifetime!

For as long as I can remember I have always loved to create. My passion for photography started when I was a teen. As I honed in on my craft I began to photograph on a more professional level right out of high school, but stepped away for academic pursuits. After completing both a bachelors and master's degree in Anthropology, I came full circle, determining that a career in doing something creative was where my heart lies. Whether it is your wedding, or any other special moment in your life, I cherish the opportunity to document it in a way that highlights the artistic elements, while still capturing an authenticness that is uniquely you.

Hey hey 👋, I’m LaDonna. Wedding photographer & videographer with a passion for celebrating the love stories of couples from all walks of life. Growing up in the suburbs of Boston and attending undergrad in Connecticut, I’m a true New England gal. Winter holds a special place in my heart, as I embrace the beauty and charm of every location I photograph.

I’m typically shy and not very photogenic, so I was extremely anxious about how our wedding photos would turn out. But after finding LaDonna through a Facebook ad, I immediately knew I wouldn’t have to worry if she was our photographer. She took the time to understand me and helped me find my confidence in front of the camera. By the wedding day, I felt completely at ease and able to focus on the moment with my husband rather than my insecurities in my head. LaDonna and the LT² team captured everything beautifully, balancing candid moments with fine art shots that truly tell our story. The photos are so authentic, and I’ll cherish these memories forever, along with the confidence I gained. Thank you, LaDonna, for an unforgettable experience! 3 7.27.24

Kristin Griffin Photography

  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $2,750
  • Serves Hartford, CT

I shot my first wedding in 2004, and from that moment on, I was hooked! It's an honor to witness and capture such an important moment in the lives of my couples. Before specializing in weddings, I focused on fine art and night photography. I earned a BFA degree in studio art from the University of Notre Dame (Go Irish!), and a MFA degree in imaging arts/photography from Rochester Institute of Technology. I taught black and white, digital, alternative process and studio photography at the high school, university and adult education levels. I love both the planned events and the unintentional, quiet moments that make a wedding unique!

We knew going into wedding planning that we wanted a videographer, so we searched online and visited some wedding expos. We met Kristin at a wedding expo and met with her over Zoom a couple times during the wedding planning process. From the beginning, it was fun talking to her about her services, and it was clear that she was punctual, helpful, and professional! We loved her videos she had on her website. During our initial Zoom meeting, we had talked to Kristin about what we were looking for on our wedding day. We definitely wanted to capture the most important parts of the wedding, like the ceremony, portions of the family, wedding party and bride and groom photos, the reception entrances, our first dance, our parent dances, cake cutting, brides bouquet toss, etc. After our Zoom meeting, we knew she was the right fit for what we wanted on our wedding day and we decided to book her! A few weeks before the wedding, Kristin sent us a wedding questionnaire for our specific details about our day to make sure everything was perfect on her end. And on the wedding day, Kristin was awesome! She was able to capture all the special moments of the wedding, and she even got so much more that we were too busy to see the day of. She got some beautiful video of the dress and footage from the bridal prep, as well as a gorgeous shot of the wedding details with my dress in the background. It was a nice piece to see in our wedding video! In the reception space, she captured every detail from the sweetheart table, guest reception tables, guest book, memorial table, seating chart, gift and card table. During the Table Dash to get pictures with all of the guests, Kristin was running around with us to capture those moments! She got a ton of fun and hilarious footage of our guests dancing during the reception as well! We have watched the videos multiple times already, and we (well, especially my husband) can’t help but tear up seeing the beautiful footage and music of our special day. We received four videos: a trailer, a highlights video, a video of the ceremony, and a reception video. Right before the wedding, Kristin asked us for a list of music to use for our videos; we sent her a list of 10-15 songs to choose from, and she used our first dance song for our trailer and five songs for our highlights video. The drone footage, the slow motion effects, the black-and-white portions, and all the amazing editing make the videos all that much better. We received the Vimeo links to our videos just two and a half weeks after the wedding and couldn’t wait to watch them! When we received the USB of our trailer and highlights video, it came in a beautiful wooden keepsake box. After we watched the Vimeo links, we noticed we didn’t have any portions of Kayla and her dad doing air guitar to AC/DC. I emailed Kristin back asking if she could add a little bit of the footage, and she was able to add it right at the end of our reception video, which will be a nice memory for Kayla and her dad! If you’re looking for a fun and professional videographer, look no further than Kristin!

I already have some friends that are getting married ask about her because they loved the photos so much. Photos are important because they really capture the moments that you want to remember forever and I have had some friends that did not get great photos at their weddings. It is important to choose someone that is really going to capture the moments, take amazing pictures AND someone who makes you feel comfortable.

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.

Erin and Peter are absolutely amazing to work with! They are such a sweet & fun couple who you just enjoy being around. They are so easy to get along with and know exactly what they’re doing- we trusted them with our day and they exceeded expectations! They make you feel comfortable and at ease on a potentially stressful day and work with you to make sure you get everything out of the day that you’re looking for. Everyone in our bridal party complimented how efficient and smooth our pictures were at the wedding. Not to mention the pictures are GORGEOUS- they are so talented at capturing natural moments, never forcing stiff or awkward posing. Would recommend them to anyone getting married!!!

On our wedding day, Beth ensured that we stuck to our jam-packed itinerary, and she also coordinated with a second photographer. Beth even sent us a calendar for the new year— each month had a different photo from our wedding. Her thoughtfulness and commitment to her clients is incredible and we would recommend her to all our friends and family!

Rebecca was our wedding photographer at Winbrooke last month and I don’t have the words to say how much I loved working with her! From our first Zoom call to wedding day she stayed in touch just to check in and was happy to give recommendations for other vendors I needed. I knew she was special from our first chat but meeting her in person and spending our special day with her exceeded my expectations. She has such a kind heart and is so passionate about her work and it truly shows. Our sneak peek photos blew me away and I can’t wait to see the rest! She has a true gift and I can’t recommend her enough!

Cate photographed our small wedding ceremony in 2021 and was an absolute pleasure to work with. She captured both the physical beauty of the day, as well as the love and joy of our families joining together. Cate confidently guided us through a few group shots, but mostly took candid pics of special moments with our family and friends. Her turnaround time with the photos was quick and her pricing was more than fair. I would highly recommend her to anyone who wants beautiful, intimate photos taken with great care and attention to detail.

Art and storytelling is my passion when it comes to photography, but I'm also all about capturing raw real emotions, candid moments, and photojournalism. Aside from photographing your day, I also help with finding wedding vendors & venues, or location scouting and lodging if you're eloping. I want your wedding/elopement process to be as stress free as possible! Whether it's your wedding day, elopement, or another special occasion, I'll work closely with you to bring your vision to life.

Working with Krystalle was truly a dream for us. Her style is extremely fitting with the mood we wanted for our wedding- dreamy, romantic, moody. She made everything so easy for us and truly made things fun. I am forever thankful for the experience we had and that she was able to shoot our wedding. A thousand times over, I would ask for her to shoot our wedding again! In addition, she did our engagement shoot and was everything we were looking for 3

I learned photography 10+ years ago in the darkroom at my high school. From there, I was hooked. Fast-forward to being fresh out of college, in a new city, and needing new friends. I found an amazing group who also loved photography. We traveled abroad and across the country together, sharing our travel photos all over Instagram (which, had just become all the hype). That was all it took for my first couple to ask me to photograph their wedding. I'm now a full-time hybrid wedding photographer!

The best decision David and I made during our wedding planning was hiring Halie for our wedding photography. She is so amazing at what she does and so organized with it! Which is something we have in common, I am super Type-A so the relationship I built with Halie was top tier and it made the whole planning process/wedding day a breeze. For David and I, our Rhode Island wedding was a destination as we are from Maryland so this made things a bit more complex with scheduling and understanding the area. When planning our engagement shoot, Halie made perfect suggestions for different locations to satisfy the different vibes I wanted in our pictures. During the shoot, she put us at ease and helped pose us in different ways to get the perfect shot. She also captured family photos for my family and I while we were all in Rhode Island for wedding planning activities. This helped us have an even closer bond with Halie and she got to see some of the family dynamics. All of the photos were absolutely beautiful!!! Between our engagement shoot and our wedding, Halie stayed in constant communication with me and gave me so many good tips/suggestions/ideas throughout the process. She made us a custom photo timeline for the whole wedding day. This was so helpful and we used her photo timeline as our baseline when engaging with all of our other vendors to ensure they were all on the same schedule. Halie captured pictures of our rehearsal dinner and intimate private sailboat ride with our inner circle. It was so fun to have her there to capture all of our New England details that we had spent so much time planning. Once again, she nailed it and got so many great pictures of us and our families! If you are considering adding rehearsal coverage, this is your sign to do it!!! Now for the wedding day, she truly outdid herself! She came fully prepared to dive into all of the shots and was reassuring me when I realized we were running slightly behind schedule. She was like my director that day and I had complete trust in her for all of it. She remained calm, poised, professional throughout all of the wedding day chaos. All of our wedding party was so impressed by Halie's well thought out photography. When we received our sneak peeks, we were just in utter shock!! They were stunning and exactly what we were hoping for. Halie’s photography style is the perfect blend of romantic and timeless. David and I are forever grateful for the memories that Halie and her team captured on our wedding day. We truly cannot recommend Halie enough! She is amazing!

From elopements at sunrise to backyard celebrations under the stars, I celebrate all types of unions—LGBTQIA+, non-traditional, eco-friendly, and more. Whether it’s a courthouse ceremony or a handfasting in the woods, I focus on the details and emotions that make your day truly yours. Let’s turn your love story into art.

Awarded Best of Zola
We had a small, courthouse wedding, but you’d never know it from the photos From GA with Love took—they made our day look like something straight out of a movie. One photo we adore is of us walking out of the courthouse hand in hand, with the morning light casting our shadows on the pavement—it’s such a subtle but powerful reminder of the promises we made that day. They also captured the raw joy of our rooftop reception later that evening. One shot, taken from above through a skylight, shows us dancing surrounded by our chosen family, the city lights glowing in the background. It’s such an unexpected and beautiful perspective that perfectly sums up the magic of our unconventional celebration. Their work is not just photography—it’s storytelling, and it’s clear they truly understand and celebrate love in all its forms.
