We are CityLux Studios - a husband + wife photography team based in the Boston area but we LOOOVE to travel. We photograph marriage proposals, weddings, boudoir and more! Sarah's passion for raw emotion + Peter's strong attention to detail blend to make an unmatched experience for each client. It's so important that we make each Bride + Groom feel confident, comfortable and completely at ease. Being married, we have been there and done that - so we know exactly how you're feeling! You work with us, and only us, every step of the way.

I had the most incredible experience with Kyra from CityLux Studios. I’m not originally from New England and she helped me narrow down the best areas for pictures in Boston. She was so fun to work with and truly made this experience so wonderful. My fiancé hates getting pictures done and he even said he had such a great time. I am getting married back home in Iowa and was originally only going to use CityLux for engagement photos, however, it was such an incredible experience we are going to use them for our wedding next year. I can’t imagine having anyone else shoot our wedding. I felt so comfortable and she was able to truly capture the love in our relationship in photos. Attached are some of my favorite photos from our shoot. I would recommend CityLux to everyone for any occasions.

Willow Photo Co. was a dream to work with from start to finish. Their communication style was quick, easy, and painless - they were always responsive to our questions and made sure we had a solid plan in place for our wedding day. They were passionate, dedicated, and paid incredible attention to detail when capturing all of the special moments we had planned for. They were great to work with, and we loved having a video chat with them a week before the wedding to go over the timeline and make sure everything was set. When our hair and makeup ran a little behind, they were flexible with their original itinerary, ensuring the process remained painless. We are so excited to see what they create for us. We would highly recommend Willow Photo Co. to any couple planning their wedding.

She was enthusiastic, listened attentively, and asked us questions about what is important to us leading up to the wedding and beyond. She was great to work with, and I knew what to expect. She drafted our timeline, offered recommendations, and helped us design it based on what was important to my husband and me.

Crissy and Amanda of Bayless Photography, Inc. were all we could’ve hope for on our wedding day! From the initial planning process, Crissy was very responsive and professional, ensuring she understood exactly what we wanted. On the day of the wedding, both Crissy and Amanda were personable, fun, and helped create a relaxed, positive vibe that put everyone at ease. The final photos we have so far are absolutely beautiful - they captured all the special moments we wanted, as well as some beautiful candid shots we didn't even know we needed. We received our "sneak peek" of the photos so quickly, which was wonderful. As a couple who doesn't often get photographed, Crissy and Amanda made us, and the entire wedding party, feel comfortable in front of the camera. We couldn't be happier with the value and quality of their work, and highly recommend Bayless Photography to any couple planning their wedding.

Awarded Best of Zola
Five stars simply aren't enough for this duo, they deserve 10, 20, 100...all the stars for the rockstars they are. From our first conversation with Jamal and Lashana, we could sense they were going to bring their love of love with them to our special day and be the ideal team to share in our celebration and capture our family and friends in all of their fun and joyful glory. There is a picture in our gallery of my 84 year old grandmother lighting up with the most genuine smile, and the person she is beaming at is Lashana!! Jamal and Lashana were an integral part of the smoothness we were blessed with on our wedding day - they were a part of the party and they were immersed in the joie de vivre we were all feeling that weekend, and as such they were able to catch countless moments of sheer magic. They're incredibly organized and thorough and thoughtful, and they're exceptional photographers and consummate professionals. They bring such a natural warmth with them and they're so fun and personable. So you get the best package in their service start to finish. I keep saying they're rockstars, but really they kind of seem like super heroes too -- we had a huge bridal party and tons of guests sprawled out around the resort and they somehow divided and conquered and were able to fit in setting up the gorgeous circle arch we rented from them for our alter in addition to being there in the rooms with us to snap shot after shot of us getting ready, greeting guests and ringing in the New Year. The shots they got of the two of us under the twinkle lights and in front of the Newport Bridge and the lighthouse on goat island are breathtaking -- beautifully composed, intimate and sweet. Stunning, truly. And they nailed the nighttime shots of of my Gatsby-esque decked out bridesmaids in a way that literally brought my vision board to life. We love Jamal and Lashana, and we are so grateful we got to work with them. Book them early cause their calendars are only going to fill up faster and faster with each new wedding season. And know that you're making an excellent choice.

We first met Rebecca for our engagement shoot - she braved a rainy day with us to get shots on the beach. I also had mentioned I had hoped to get a photo back in a shorter time frame to put on our wedding invitations - she ended up delivering our whole gallery early, and they were all so beautiful! The day of the wedding, they made us feel so comfortable and we had so much fun taking photos with them! Our "sneak peak" included a little taste of each part of the day, which is way more than I was expecting, and we could not be more thankful for them. I keep looking at them and just get more excited for our full gallery! Their editing style, and the moments they captured are exactly what I was hoping for with a wedding photographer. I couldn't recommend them more, and will definitely be recommending them to all of my engaged friends! Thank you Rebecca and Ilia so much!!!

She was fun to have at the wedding and had great prompts and energy that helped us get beautiful photos. Her editing style is so cool and helped bring my vision and vibe to life. She sent sneak peeks later in the night after my wedding and they are all stunning. I’m so happy we booked her for our fall wedding.

Hedi Field Photography

  • Classic style
  • Serves Oakland, RI

My love for art and photography began 10 years ago. That's when I bought my first camera. It was love at first sight! My job is way more than just to create beautiful imagery. It is to help you have fun and feel like a rockstar in front of the camera!

I cannot recommend Hedi Field Photography enough and would give 100 stars if I could! If you are considering hiring her for your engagement, rehearsal dinner, or wedding please look no further. We used her for all three and could not be happier - not only did we end up with the most incredible photos that we will cherish forever, but we gained such beautiful, fun, memories working with her that will always hold a special place in our hearts. Hedi is extremely talented at capturing your love and bond with ease, and she has such a warm, kind, and infectious energy that makes you feel comfortable from your first picture with her. As a reference - we had worked with another photographer before that did not have this touch, and the photos came out very stoic and awkward as a result. Over 1000 photos from Hedi later and not one awkward one - each one was so full of life and beauty that it instantly transports you back to the moment and makes you smile! Hedi even made sure movement and life shined through the photos of the scenery and the little details that couples work so hard on, nothing went unnoticed! From our very first meeting, Hedi was incredibly organized, meticulously detail- oriented, and thoughtful. She took the time to understand our vision, ensuring that every moment we wanted to capture was prioritized, in every location, and in every outfit. She created timelines and shoot locations to coordinate with the lighting, time of day, and ease of transition to make the process less about logistics for us and more about fun! Hedi went above and beyond during our engagement session and rehearsal dinner, ensuring we got every shot (for the engagement this consisted of 4 outfits and 3 shooting locations later, and for the rehearsal it meant being extra flexible to the large family demands with a high guest count that all wanted pictures ). Hedi has a warm and approachable demeanor, but she knows how to maintain authority amongst what can be crazy family dynamics, keep on track, and expertly adhere to deadlines, ensuring everything ran smoothly, which was especially important and crucial on our wedding day. Beyond her incredible photography talent, Hedi helped take on extra responsibilities that eased the burden on our bridal party, family, and planner. Everyone at our event loved her personality, enthusiasm, and complimented her amazing work ethic and professionalism. Hedi did absolutely everything in her power to make our day as special as possible, and we are so honored and grateful to have had her as our photographer. After the wedding, Hedi delivered sneak peals on just a couple of days, and our full gallery within 2 months. She even went outside the scope of the contract and checked in with me on editing and preferences (she has the most incredible light and airy editing style that makes every pho look like the cover of Vogue) to make sure everything was perfect. We love you Hedi and cannot thank you or recommended you enough!

My passion for photography stems from my love of travel and capturing life's precious moments. There's nothing more fulfilling than preserving the most beautiful days of your life. Photos are a return ticket to moments gone. My goal is to create lasting memories that inspire and evoke emotions. I believe my purpose is the impact my work has on others. This is my 15th year, and it gets better with each passing year.

What can I possible say about Stacy? If you’re looking for a photographer who will go the extra mile for that special shot, someone will get down and dirty on the dance floor with you and your guests to do something outside the box, and someone who is not afraid to hop in that dance off and show her amazing moves, then look no further because Stacy is your girl!! She is incredibly professional, great at keeping control of a large wedding party to direct everyone perfectly for each shot, and has her timeline of events down pat, even to the point of knowing sunset times to make sure to get you that golden hour shot! Stacy and Shawn are the photography dream team to say the least, and everyone in the wedding party absolutely loved them! They both worked incredibly well with our videographers, whom they had never worked with before, to get the most amazing photos! When my photos came back, I was speechless! They are stunning! More than I could have ever imagined, and I am so incredibly grateful to both Stacy and Shawn for everything that they do! Believe me when I say that you will not be disappointed by choosing Stacy Smith Studios, because I can’t imagine anyone other than Stacy having shot our beautiful wedding!

Awarded Best of Zola
I've known Chris Mongeau for well over 10 years now and his work has remained quite incredible. I could not wait to book him for our wedding and sure enough, we love our wedding photos. What I love most about his style of work is his absence of personality. When I look through our photos, I can see ourselves reflected--tiny moments of character captured without any staging needed. And of course, for the more staged photos, he is gentle and guiding and again, seems to understand the personalities he is working with and how to best capture them authentically in such a graceful manner. We never felt forced or awkward and he allowed the patience and space to allow us to naturally fall into ourselves, while also helping with obvious professionalism such as angles and ideal light and background. Chris definitely has more of a photojournalistic approach and I personally love it because some of my favorite photos are moments I had no idea anyone was watching: hugs given with my father, stolen glances of love, the kids playing in the setting, it was all so lovely. I highly, highly recommend Chris Mongeau's photography for any photography need. In the past, he's done amazing head-shots and class photos for me and we look forward to the day when we can work with him again for family photos. Absolutely worthwhile experience and so grateful for the moments we have forever from his work.

Eli Holmes Photo + Film 

2.0

  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $5,500
  • Serves Oakland, RI

Film brought art back to photography — having control over the film stock, using particular cameras for different reasons, doing double exposures with film blindly, souping film and customizing the development process to the wedding, and so much more. And through film, I embrace the imperfections of weddings — following along with your flow of the day and natural interactions of your friends and family. Capturing your wedding story as it happens is always the priority and focus.

We were going to go with an off island photographer when we came across Eli and their work. Their knowledge of the island, how the wind blows differently on different sides of our venue, how the light hits perfectly on this side of the venue and we can still get an ocean view — that they care about the power lines and know how to avoid cars in the back of ceremony images. The list just went on and on and on. Working with Eli was like working with a walking encyclopedia of Block Island. And when you're getting married on the island, it's such an asset. Eli helped walk us through other on island vendors, best spots for our engagement sessions, different hotels that might suite certain guests better than others, an amazing casual rehearsal dinner/welcome party idea that was flawless, and I just couldn't be happier. When we got the images though, I didn't know what to say. Eli had captured so much of our story, we felt the same jitters getting ready to walk down the aisle looking through images of moments we didn't. get to experience on our wedding day (we were a little busy, getting married, and you just can't witness everything). Eli was so great with our friends and family, able to choral a few of my drunk groomsmen, while simultaneously making my antsy family members just super at ease and happy. I couldn't be happier in working with Eli and can't wait to see them in future years when we visit.

I would highly recommend Amanda to anyone looking for a photographer. She produces high quality photos and she is an absolute pleasure to work with! I was so worried I would be awkward in front of the camera but she kept me laughing the whole time and out my right at ease. Not only is she a pleasure to work with but she produces phenomenal photos and has an incredibly reasonable turnaround time.

I found myself photographing weddings 5 years ago. Before that I was into documentary and travel photography. I traveled the world doing it. My passion for love stories began after a friend asked me to photograph their wedding. It was the most intimate experience for me, the deep connection and the responsibility I was granted by my friend felt nothing but honorable. After that I decided to give it a go. Fast forward, today my style is candid and non-obtrusive and of course I work with posing and I’m really good at giving people directions. My passion is to observe my subjects and capture them in a very natural, honest and uncontrived way.

We highly, highly, highly recommend Marilia to anyone searching for a special photographer on their big day. Marilia is not like any other typical photographer, she is one of a kind and super personable too. Look at her work on her website and social media and you will see for yourself. Hire Marilia, she’s the best.

My name is Annie - I am a lifestyle and wedding photographer based out of Rhode Island. I live in the smallest town, in the smallest state with my extra large dog, Kingston. I document life’s big and little moments. Creating images that make you feel like you could step into them. I want to create a beautiful and timeless collection of images to forever memorialize your day. When you look back through these photos, I want you to be transported back to that moment as if you're right there doing it all over again.

Awarded Best of Zola
I don't know even where to begin - Annie was everything we dreamed of for our wedding weekend and more. From the moment we connected with her, she was professional, kind, and made the entire process feel effortless. Not only did she exceed our expectations, but she went above and beyond, bringing warmth and personality to every moment. It felt like we were working with a friend, not just a vendor. We hired Annie for both our Welcome Reception and Wedding Day, and it was one of the best decisions we made. Leading up to the weekend, she was always responsive, answering every question with thoughtful suggestions that left us feeling confident and stress-free. On the day of, she handled everything so seamlessly, especially when it came to my (now!) husband, who isn't a fan of taking photos. She made him—and everyone—feel completely comfortable, turning the process into something fun and enjoyable. Annie’s ability to capture candid, genuine moments while keeping things lighthearted is truly a gift. While we’re still waiting on our final photos, her work is nothing short of magical. She perfectly captured the emotions and atmosphere of the day, and we can’t wait to relive it through her lens. If I had to do this all over again, without a doubt, Annie would be the very first vendor I would hire. She brought not just her skill, but her heart to our special day, and we can’t thank her enough for everything she did. Her presence added an extra layer of joy to our weekend, and we are so lucky to have had her as a part of it! To anyone considering working with Annie—do it!!! She is truly the best, and I cannot recommend her enough. Thank you, Annie, for being such a huge part of making our wedding weekend as special and memorable as it was. We are forever grateful!

I'm Kim Lyn, a girlboss photographer that loves romance and natural light. I think your photos deserve to be as amazing as your story. If I'm not behind a camera you may find me curled up with a book, sprawled out on the couch binging on crime or romance shows, and eating (basically anything deep fried, spicy, soupy, or chocolate covered). I have a slight addiction with Coca Cola + Mountain Dew...they are my version of coffee. I adore laughing and will dance no matter where I am. Give me the sun, sand, and coast and you'll make me a happy girl.

Awarded Best of Zola
Kim will be my photographer for life! Or, at least as long as she'll have me. I first met Kim when my husband and I were searching for wedding photographers. We absolutely loved her timeless style and were eager to get to know her. We met up at a coffee shop and instantly felt a connection. She then snapped some engagement photos, helping us with posing along the way. It was a good sign of things to come! On our wedding day, Kim and Shiloh put us totally at ease. It was like they'd always been our best friends. They were warm and sweet and helped us cherish the day, all while keeping us to our schedule and getting us all the shots they promised with professionalism and clarity. When we ultimately got our photos back, we were so in love with how they'd captured the day. They say that your wedding photographer is your best investment - we couldn't agree more! My only disappointment was that we wouldn't be able to work with them again. A year or so later, though, I decided to gift my husband a boudoir album for his 30th birthday. I was so excited to be in front of Kim's camera again. She helped me feel so confident and made sure I was having fun. I'll also reiterate that she was incredibly professional and so timely. I look forward to the next chapter of my husband and I's life so we can have it captured by Kim and Shiloh. They are truly so talented at seizing life's most beautiful, precious moments. I can't speak enough to the relationship we were able to build with Kim and Shiloh. When you hire them, you're not just hiring a vendor. You're hiring a friend. That's exactly who you want by your side on the biggest days of your life - someone you can trust, someone who loves you for you, and someone who wants the very best for you. You will, without a doubt, get that and more with Kim Lyn Photography.

Tracy has helped me with photography many times over the years. From headshots to business event photos, she's always done a wonderful job. So when I got married, it was a no brainer that I wanted her to do our photos. Let me tell you, I was blown away by the results. I went into this already exposed to her work, but seeing what she accomplished with my wedding photos was really something special. Tracy was an absolute asset to have around that day. She thought of every type of photo we would want and made sure she captured all the important combinations of family and friends for the formal pictures (some I wouldn't have even thought to ask for - so I was extra grateful to have her experience with that). She caught the small, precious moments other photographers might have missed, and did it without you even realizing. Her wedding expertise also seemed to rival our wedding coordinator's at some points and she helped smooth over a few hiccups the day of, which was way beyond her job and was so appreciated. She truly went above and beyond to do everything in her power to make our day perfect, no matter what it was. Tracy is talented, knowledgeable, and will make sure you get everything you want from your day. I can't recommend her enough!

We first met Morayo when we used her as our engagement photographer, she worked with us to adapt and find a new site (twice) when the weather kept ruining our plans. Morayo met us close to our home and did a beautiful rose garden shoot with us. Then when the pandemic hit she was reassuring and flexible throughout our ever changing planning process. While we had to cancel our reception and had a smaller ceremony instead, Morayo was still able to capture our getting ready photos, ceremony and formal photos perfectly. Morayo was so fun to work with and really helped us relax in front of the camera. We loved working with Morayo and would recommend her to anyone planning a wedding, especially in these crazy times!

Hi, I'm Kate! I am a full time photographer based in RI. I photograph hybrid 35mm film and digital portraits. I travel throughout New England and love working with fun, adventurous couples. Most of my work has a very natural feel to it. I capture moments, making for a very lighthearted, low stress day. I am a roll-with-the-punches sort of person, which comes in handy since no wedding day ever goes totally to plan! I focus on the joy, laughter, gratitude and everything in between! We’ll probably go adventuring a bit to get some really cool shots. We will definitely laugh a lot. Sound good? Check out my portfolio or get in touch to chat more!

If you’re considering booking Polar Square Designs, just do it! Kate was so responsive, professional, helpful and flexible. Neither my husband nor I love having our photos taken (especially in public) but Kate made us feel totally comfortable on our engagement shoot at the beach and we ended up with some incredible shots. The turnaround time to get our whole gallery back was so quick. Leading up to our wedding, Kate’s questionnaire helped us nail down what shots we really wanted and the timeline she came up with was very helpful! On our wedding day, Kate and the second shooter Allison worked together so well and made sure we got all the shots we wanted! Everything flowed perfect and they did an amazing job capturing our best day ever! We received a bunch of “sneak peek” images less than 24 hours after our wedding and they’re all so good! Kate’s creativity and skill are evident in the results. I highly recommend Polar Square Designs!

Hey friends! What is the value of a photograph? Well, if it’s art, then its value is determined by the status and popularity of the artist, in most cases anyway. If it’s that one moment at your wedding when your fiancé reads your love note for the first time, sheds that one tear they swore wouldn't happen, then it’s a moment you need captured and archived, because its value is incomprehensible. I’m going to capture that moment and preserve it forever you! Hi! My name is Mark! I'm a wedding photographer in Rhode Island and I'm really excited you're here. Send me a message, I'd love to chat with you about your wedding vision.

Mark is phenomenal to work with!!! From the start, he was extremely open with communication and super helpful by recommending other vendors to us as well. He is a very skilled photographer, and all of our pictures are absolutely stunning. He makes everyone feel so comfortable around the camera. Mark clearly loves what he does, and he is great at it!!! 150% recommend him as your wedding photographer :)

Hi! I’m Carol. I am based out of Warren, RI - the cutest lil’ New England town. I mostly photograph in RI and MA, and am willing to travel! The weddings I photograph are small and intimate. With the pandemic we saw a lot of people change their wedding plans to micro weddings, backyard weddings, and elopements. Though the reason for these changes came from public health concerns, I think there has been a shift in how we look at weddings. There is something so beautiful about the intimacy of the closest of family and friends gathered at your home or on the beach. I adore documenting these gatherings and it is a privilege to be a part of.

Hi, I’m Nicole (she/her) - a Rhode Island-based wedding photographer. I have more than a decade of experience shooting weddings of all kinds - and today, I work collaboratively with my couples to create photos that evoke how their day felt. Photos of honest and emotional interactions; small details that hold weight and meaning; effortless portraits that capture the feel of the surrounding space or landscape. The result is a narrative visual story of enduring human connections, and a chronicle of emotional moments that they can revisit time and time again.

I worked with Nicole for one of my very first video jobs at a wedding in Newport, RI. I can say having her as one of my first colleagues was a blessing! The way she treated all the vendors and the families at the wedding was admirable. She is extremely kind and welcoming and went above and beyond to assist the bride with anything that arose. I learned so much from her about being a true professional in the wedding industry. She is not only skilled at her craft but also at striking that perfect balance between organized and flexible. Nicole is a true team player and I would recommend her to anyone who wants a genuine, authentic, and easy going wedding photographer!
