I’ll ensure your timeline stays on track and handle any unexpected moments with ease. Based in Boston, I love traveling for intimate weddings of 100-150 guests at unique venues like barns, ski resorts, and castles. My style focuses on vibrant, cinematic images with true-to-life editing. I’m here to bring your vision to life and create photos that let you relive the magic for years to come!

Awarded Best of Zola
I am beyond grateful we hired Chris as our wedding photographer. From our first time talking I knew he was the right fit. He went above and beyond to make this the best experience. From meeting us in advance and even scouting photo spots at the venue when we visited, to preparing an iron clad schedule with room for flexibility, to making me an electrolyte drink so I'd stay hydrated during the morning prep, and making us laugh and stay present throughout the day, we couldn't have been happier with our experience. Chris has an innate ability to connect with anyone and he made all of us feel at ease, which helped our authentic emotions shine through in the photos. We knew we wanted a photographer that could capture all the feelings in a unique, artistic and fun way, and Chris did all that and more. Our wedding photos are beautiful, precious memories that truly allow us to relive each moment, and I am so grateful for that gift. Chris was one of the best investments we made for our wedding, and he truly made the day even more special for us and our families. 1,000 out of 10 recommend!

I was born and raised in the smallest little state, Rhode Island! With that comes a huge appreciation for the coast and a realization that magic can be found in even the smallest of details. Growing up in a small town where time seems to go by slower helped me learn the value of genuine connections which have now become apart of who I am.

Awarded Best of Zola
We are SO glad we worked with Bri! From start to finish she was supportive, communicative, and onboard with our elopement. My husband and I are not comfortable in front of the camera and she made it so easy to get beautiful photos! I let Bri use her artistic vision to get a lot of our photos, and I am so happy I did. Her and Lucas were fabulous - and essential to keeping our elopement as quiet as possible. I will definitely be reaching out to Bri if we ever need any other photos done! Thank you so so much for capturing our 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!

Allison Cheng Photography was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding day. From our initial consultation to the final delivery of our photos, their communication was easy, efficient and prompt. They took their time to ensure every detail was captured, with a clear attention to detail that really shone through in the final product. Allison and her team made my partner and I feel comfortable and special throughout the entire process, and were a joy to have by our side on our big day. The fast turnaround time on our photos was an added bonus, and we are thrilled with the final results. Highly recommend Allison Cheng Photography for any couple looking for a talented, friendly and professional wedding photographer.

  • Serves Stafford, CT

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.

We had a lot of fun capturing the beauty of the wedding day and communicating about the ins & outs of the details behind the first look, the family and bridal portraits, as well as the couples session. They strived to stay out of my shots as much as possible and were extremely cooperative throughout Ceremony & Reception capture.

She has this amazing energy and creativity that really shows through in the photos she takes. At our wedding, she carefully considered the light, the locations of our photos, and I can honestly say I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE every single photo from our day. The genuine happiness, the laughter, the tears- everything is so perfectly captured.

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.

TLDR: Book them now!! We knew Erin & Peter from my sister's wedding, and we were in love with how natural their photos looked and how easy they were to work with. For our own wedding, we were so lucky to book them! They were the most intuitive people we worked with all day, picking up on all of the day's emotions and logistics flawlessly while helping us arrange ourselves for the photos we knew we would cherish for a lifetime. They even helped arrange my dress and veil, and never flinched in our muggy, buggy atmosphere. They were fun, funny, helpful, and in short, a dream to work with. Their talent is superb - we can't recommend them highly enough!

My love for photography began over a decade ago when a good friend lent me his camera. I quickly discovered my passion for capturing the beauty of candid moments and the world around me. Outside of photographing couples, I enjoy downhill mountain biking, traveling, nature & landscape photography, hiking, and playing guitar. I live in East Hampton, Connecticut with my beautiful wife (Meg), our two dogs (Tucker & Diamond), and cat (Grace).

Mike was up to our adventurous requests. Photographing our engagement photos, intimate ceremony, and celebration ceremony he did it all! Including braving the cold for our outdoor winter ceremony. Mike was very flexible with our requests, and guided us when we needed it. He was able to get our pictures we wanted and did not consume the whole night! He fit right in on the dance floor with his camera's in hand! Thank you Mike!

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 so happy that we found Ashley on Instagram!! Not only did I have beautiful photos, but Ashley was so fun, talented, and knew exactly how to execute our "vision" I feel like she was such a great listener and she was so easy to talk to when we first spoke on the phone. Our Engagement shoot was so fun!! It was freezing so we decided to get creative and ended up with better photos than we could have imagined. When Ashley walked in to the Bridal suite on our wedding day I could feel her excitement and she totally brought amazing energy that made me so excited to the day to come. She was by our side the whole day and captured so many beautiful moments. I feel like I hit the jackpot with her! Definitely take a look at her work she does not disappoint.
