We had a wonderful experience working with Sound Originals for our wedding photographer vendor. Our photographer did such an amazing job, he took so many beautiful photos, it's difficult to pick our favorite, lol. Which, is definitely the kind of problem you want to have. The entire process was so easy, it really removed a huge stressor from planning/the wedding day. We had so much fun working with Steve. I highly recommend Sound Originals for wedding photography needs!

Awarded Best of Zola
Matt through Enchanted Celebrations really exceeded our expectations. He was a blast to have around, he hyped us up, picked the perfect ways to capture our special day, and overall kept us on track throughout the day. We were so happy with working with him, and everyone at the event has commented on how great the photographer was throughout the event. After getting our photos FOUR DAYS after the wedding, we could not be more pleased! The turnaround on the edited photos was unreal, and the fully edited ones that we received exactly matched our desired look (dark and moody). We loved the way he captured us, our energy and the way that we interacted with each other throughout the day. He really caught "us" in the pictures and we'll cherish these photos forever. Big thanks to Matt and Enchanted Celebration!

Kimberly Nguyen Photography, LLC

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,398
  • Serves West Simsbury, CT

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.

Aren Paradis Photography

  • Photojournalistic style

  • Serves West Simsbury, 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.

Catherine Johanna Photography

  • Photojournalistic style

  • Serves West Simsbury, CT

Catherine Johanna Photography beautifully preserves timeless moments with a documentary approach. Specializing in weddings and portrait photography, Catherine, blends artistry and professionalism seamlessly. She specializes in making her couples feel comfortable in front of her camera. From unexpected laughter, and emotional moments to stunning portraits with character, joy, and authentic emotion, Catherine focuses on the uniqueness of every couple to transform their special moments into enduring memories. Serving Connecticut, the greater New England area & beyond. Recent international weddings include Vienna Austria and St Andrews Scotland.

Hiring Catherine was by far our best decision for our wedding day. We clicked from the start! After seeing her website, I knew we had to work with her. At first my husband was unsure because we hadn't settled on a budget yet, but once we had our consult he was in! Once we had our engagement session, he was also a raving fan. He's not crazy about photos and he actually enjoyed the experience! Catherine made it feel so natural and so easy. He had imagined photography to be really slow and heavily posed and boring, but Catherine had prompts to keep us moving, laughing and focused on each other. For our wedding day, she did the ABSOLUTE most amazing job with her second photographer. They captured literally everything that was important to us and better than we ever could have imagined. Then, don't get us started on the album - she encouraged us to have an album reveal party with our wedding parties and parents and no one could believe the quality weight and luxury of the leather album. I know we'll be showing our children and grandchildren this album when the time comes. Catherine, thank you from the bottom of our hearts and if you're wondering, YES go hire her now!

My name is Emily. I'm 27. Born and raised New Englander. Attended Central Connecticut State University. Got a bachelors, had a kid, blah blah blah. Let’s talk photography. There is something to be said about capturing the raw moments in life. I thrive on candid, unposed, real emotion. Every person I have met on the other side of the camera has changed me for the better in one way or another. I'd love to work with you, so let's get the conversation started.

Emily was the best photographer to have for our wedding. She’s so professional, and very calming/relaxed while making sure she was getting the shots. She was such a pleasure to have and the greatest hype woman. I will cherish these photos forever and I look back on them with only positive memories because of her work. We also had engagement photos and a bridal shower session. She was quick with responses and I would definitely use her again.

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!!!!!!!

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!

It's feeling, and it's found in the whirlwind and the still moments, in heightened emotion and calm, and above all, celebrating what makes you and your partner exactly who you are with the people you choose to surround yourself with. In my work composition serves to frame the feeling, with permission to be raw, outrageous, reserved, and unabashedly yourself. I make photos about the day and not the day about the photos. All couples of all genders, ethnicities, ages, faiths, shapes and abilities, are more than welcome.

Awarded Best of Zola
I couldn’t be happier with my experience working with Ali! She reached out to me on Zola and I am so glad she did. I was impressed with her portfolio and I really loved seeing how she would capture little moments in the weddings she had done. We set up a video call before booking and we clicked. She is very calm and helped with my pre-wedding nerves. She worked with us on a payment plan and she was always very quick to respond to any of my questions. She really listened to what we wanted. She got to the venue early to scout out different shots and came to check in with me a couple of times before we even began taking photos, which I did not expect but was very sweet and considerate of her. When we were taking photos, she really helped to guide the more “posed” photos but she also captured a lot of beautiful candid moments. We had so many guests come up to us and compliment her and that was before we even got the photos back. She sent us our sneak peeks the next day and I couldn’t be more thrilled with the results. She captured so many beautiful moments and her style is exactly what we wanted. Nothing felt “overly edited” just perfectly genuine. I cannot recommend Ali enough. I cannot wait to see the full gallery of photos because I know they will be nothing short of perfect.

We hired Johnny for our wedding, and the experience was nothing short of exceptional. From our first meeting for our engagement photos, he made us feel comfortable and understood our vision perfectly. On our big day, Johnny was a true professional—he and his assistant blended in with our guests while capturing every precious moment. The candid shots were genuinely heartwarming, showcasing emotions that we didn't even realize were being captured. He is truly a master at capturing the "moment before the moment". The posed photos were equally impressive, with a beautiful balance of creativity and elegance. The editing was fantastic; the colors were vibrant, and every image felt timeless. We received our photos promptly, and the quality was outstanding. Overall, we can't recommend So Behold This/Johnny enough. He not only delivered stunning images but also is a joy to work with!
