The Sound Originals team were fantastic people to work with, not only due to their professionalism, but also because they were great people to have around. They were extremely comfortable and friendly while working with us and taking photos. Even when it came down to the dogs, 2 of which were panicking because they are rescues and being around so many people stressed them out, this didn't even phase the Sound Originals team which impressed me the most. Their professionalism with their gear was truly amazing to see (we have some professional photographers in our family who were commenting on this too), you could tell they knew how to handle their equipment. One thing that I loved was that they took the time to create cute photogenic moments to capture with the camera that would normally be over so fast, you would probably miss it. Every photo, from the goofy spur of the moment reactions - to the posed adorable moments, came out beautifully. Thank you Sound Originals for working with us! We couldn't have asked for better photographers.

Hartford, CT
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,398

Welcome! I am a daughter of Vietnamese immigrants who chose to move to Connecticut, where I have lived for most of my life. I love the change of seasons in this part of the country and all the rich backdrops it brings for imagery (and mental health walks and runs). My cultural heritage is the foundation for my photographic passion. My camera allows me to work where I know I work best, behind-the-scenes, front row at some of the most profound moments in people's lives. In a pinch though, I'll be there carrying the train, making sure you don't get your shoes dirty and helping to support you where I can throughout your wedding day!

Awarded Best of Zola
Kim was incredible to work with! She was so helpful in creating the timeline for our wedding day and giving us suggestions on how to make everything flow. She was on time, kept track of all the photos we wanted and made sure that everyone was in the right place at the right time. The photos are stunning too - I can’t wait to get the whole album back. I couldn’t recommend her more.

Rachel photographed our rehearsal dinner and wedding day and I had an amazing experience working with her! Her work is incredible and she captured our memories beautifully. Her timeless, classic style is exactly what I envisioned. She made everyone feel so comfortable, she even learned the names of our immediate family members (my MIL still raves about how much she loves Rachel)! We enjoyed spending most of our wedding day with her, she is lovely and made taking lots of photos so fun. She was also very experienced in creating a photography timeline and helped prioritize what was important to us on our wedding day. I highly recommend Rachel for all your photography needs!

Aren Paradis Photography 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,500
  • Serves Hartford, CT

Hi! I'm Aren, when trusted to tell your story through my lens, I take a photojournalistic approach. I value capturing the moments as they are happening on your big day, rather than making your wedding day into a "photoshoot". Real, raw, + authentic love is what I am here to capture. Minimalistic photography really draws my eye, never over complicating what's really happening in front of us, and finding the beauty in the simple, in-between, moments.

I met Aren through a mutual friend and was excited to have her assist in shooting a wedding with me. She was professional and enjoyable to work with. I am looking forward to having her second shoot with me again come 2024.

I can't say enough good things about AllStar Weddings, particularly DJ Craig. DJ Craig was a pleasure to work with. He spent over an hour with us on the phone before the wedding going over every little detail, answering all of our questions, and giving us great recommendations for song choices and the flow of the reception. On the day of the wedding, he kept everybody on the dance floor and did a great job as MC. I couldn't recommend this company and DJ Craig more!

Melanie Ruth Photography

Photography has always been a passion of mine even after I started my career as a science teacher. I wake up everyday and teach 100+ kids in 9th and 10th grade about the wonder and beauty of the sciences. I also get to wake up everyday with a camera in hand, and connect to loved ones starting out on new paths. I have this strong desire to create art and speak the truth of other’s lives. Everyday I have an excitement for what's to come, and who I will be blessed with to capture. What never meant to become a business, slowly turned into this beautiful opportunity to be connected to so many amazing humans and invest in their lives.

Melanie was the best photographer for our wedding in May 2024 in Boston!!!! She was the perfect combination of professional, fun, on-top of her game, but also super chill and go with the flow. Which is exactly what we were looking for in all of our vendors. She made everyone feel so comfortable and would ask us funny or heart felt questions when we were taking group couple pictures to ensure she captured raw emotion and to keep things interesting. There was never a dull moment. Everyone from our bridal party family came up to me after and said how much they loved Melanie and her team. Couldn't recommend her enough!!!!!!!

I am a Connecticut-based, destination wedding photographer. The narrator of your love story. A photographer who takes photos that capture your heart and emulate your feeling of home. Photographing love fuels my soul. Documenting the beautiful, gratitude-filled, raw, happy, intimate moments. You bring the silliness, comfort, and confidence that your love together holds, and I’ll be the hype girl & third wheel you never knew you needed.

Haley second shot a wedding for me this month and she was an absolute dream come true: communicative, upbeat, and excited to be there. She stayed on top of the schedule, kept in detailed touch with me leading up to the day, and was very good at checking in with me consistently while we were shooting together. Her kind and upbeat energy was exactly what I was looking for in a collaborator, and her work is beyond gorgeous to boot. I am so grateful to have her on my team, and can't wait for so many more adventures together!

George Street answered my wedding day prayers! As a NYC bride I instantly got sticker shock with the starting prices of NY based wedding photography (that didn’t even include videography). I searched high and low for something more affordable, however I wasn’t willing to sacrifice quality as wedding photography was a top priority for the big day. My dreams came true when I found George Street as they had reasonable prices and a wide variety of local talent. George Street let me view the portfolios of several photographers, they all had stunning photojournalistic style photos. We ultimately selected our photographer who ended up taking the most gorgeous and sentimental photos. Our album is stunning and George Street finished editing the photos so much faster than quoted. The videography team was also extremely professional and talented. We managed to get a social teaser, highlight reel, and full length feature video from George Street. We cherish all moments captured by George Street! Our entire team was easy to work with. Our wedding was on a military base which required some extra documentation and George Street came through with ease. We are extremely appreciative of George Street’s services and cannot recommend them highly enough especially to fellow NYC brides and grooms!

More than a decade ago, two sisters - knew there had to be a better way to allow talented photographers and videographers to focus on what they do best -- create gorgeous art -- while providing couples with better support in the planning process. Together, they created an all-inclusive, stress-free environment where couples can choose from talented local photographers and videographers and work with a small team of planning experts equipped and eager to make everything a success. With the pressure gone, you can truly enjoy your big day. Relax and rest assured that all the emotional and moments will be documented with unmatched quality.

The communication throughout the entire process was great and we’d definitely recommend OLAS. We aren’t great at posing ourselves so we loved that our photographer and videographer’s ability to come up with great poses and backgrounds! We loved how all of the photos showed everyone’s genuine emotions of the day so well!

My husband is my second photographer, so we come as a photo team! 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 so you look and feel natural and comfortable. 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!

PictureMeThisByLacie was one of the best decisions we made throughout the wedding process. Lacie was amazing to work with the entire time. She was easy to communicate with and kept us updated on our photo timelines, not to mention all of our photos turned about AMAZING. Our package included an engagement session and Lacie worked out a weekend she was already in Chicago to accommodate us. Leading up to our session, we had issues with controlled fires and protests in our preferred location, but Lacie found us a spot that blew my expectations for photos out of the water. She gave us a sneak peak and also got our pictures back to us super quick. On our big day, Lacie and Tim(her husband/second photographer) were the best to work with. They made us feel comfortable and captured our day better than we could have imagined. As soon as they got there, they got straight to work. Lacie got all the details and getting ready photos that I will cherish forever. Things were running behind the day of and they let us add on an hour to our contract the day of and pay at a later date. This ensured that we got dance floor photos and it was so worth it! Specifically getting pictures of my husband's grandmother in her 80s dancing with all her grandkids. We received a sneak peak very quickly and our whole (massive) gallery less than 2 months after the wedding. For as many photos as we got, this was a crazy quick turn around. Overall, PictureMeThisByLacie captured our day better than we could have ever imagined, we could not recommend them more!

From the first moment my grandfather placed a Sony Cybershot in my hands at age 13, I knew the magic of capturing life's most profound and intimate moments was meant for me. Now, after nearly 24 years behind the lens, what began as a childhood hobby has become everything to me. My commitment to you as your photographer is to apply my skill, creative mind, and decades of experience to your occasion so you have fantastic, tangible memories to look back on years from now. I have made it my goal to become proficient across a wide range of photographic/editing styles, in order to better serve the needs and preferences of each individual client.

Johnny was absolutely wonderful to have as part of our wedding day. From the moment he arrived (early, of course), he brought such a calm, steady energy that instantly made both my husband and me feel comfortable—which is saying something, because neither of us is particularly into posing for photos. The complimentary engagement shoot was such a smart and generous touch. It gave us a chance to loosen up, find our rhythm with him, and honestly made the wedding day feel that much smoother. He gave just the right amount of direction when we needed it—but the real magic was in the candid shots. He caught moments we didn’t even realize were happening, and now we get to relive them with full hearts and full clarity. Johnny didn’t just take pictures. He helped. He quietly supported so many little things that weren’t even his job—and did it all with this clear passion and grounded presence that made him feel like a friend, not just a vendor. If you’re looking for someone who truly sees the day—who captures the energy, the in-between moments, the real stuff—hire Johnny. Don’t wait. He’s the one.
