Vinny Alves Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (22 reviews)
  • Editorial style
  • Serves Derby, CT

Hi, I'm Vinny Alves! I am a husband, father of two and wedding photographer in my free time. I am passionate for what I do. My job? To capture it all in a way that feels natural, cinematic, and timeless. But more than just taking photos, I’m here to guide you through the day, making sure you feel comfortable, confident, and fully present in every moment. My style? Cinematic, with a mix of artistic, classic, and documentary influences. That means your photos will feel like a movie—elegant, emotional, and storytelling-driven—while still being true to who you are.

Awarded Best of Zola
“I had the honor of having Vinny capture one of the most important moments of my life, my proposal to my fiancée. I chose him because I knew he would be the perfect person for such a special occasion, and he exceeded every expectation. On a snowy day, during a storm, Vinny never hesitated for a second. Despite the freezing cold, he dedicated hours with us in the park, making sure every detail was captured beautifully. The photos turned out extraordinary, truly beyond what we could have imagined. What impressed me the most was his care and dedication. My fiancée and I are not used to posing for photos, but Vinny guided us patiently and naturally through every step, making us feel comfortable and confident. His attention to detail, creativity, and professionalism transformed that day into timeless memories. I am deeply grateful for what he did for us and recommend his services without hesitation. Vinny is an outstanding professional who pours his heart into his work, and the results speak for themselves.”

Danny Captures Photography

  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $3,200
  • Serves Derby, CT

Hi, I'm Danny! My passion is to capture couples & their love story in a timeless way. I like to describe my style as a fusion between story-telling & editorial. I lean into true-to-life colors with a warm ambience and posing that's timeless but also interwoven with an editorial flare that's unique, artistic, and stylish. I also love incorporating story-telling stills that involve movement rather than a bunch of photos that feel "stiff" or overly posed. Story-telling moments bring wedding galleries life! I’d love the opportunity to connect with you, and hear more about your wedding vision!!

Awarded Best of Zola
“Danny captured every single moment perfectly throughout our entire wedding day! He was amazing to communicate with during the planning process, and created our day-of schedule to make sure we had time for everything that we wanted to have photographed that day. Our next-day previews were so beautiful , and the final gallery (which was delivered so quickly) was even better than what we could have imagined. It was so special to see all of the small, intimate moments that Danny photographed as well that we were not able to see ourselves that day. We are so beyond grateful that we had Danny as our wedding photographer, he is truly the best person that we could’ve asked for to capture our wedding day!”

  • Serves Derby, CT

I am a Connecticut-based wedding and portrait photographer obsessed with candid moments, real emotion, and the connections between human beings. I strive to capture life as we actually live it: full of beauty and roughness, joy and struggle, extravagance and simplicity. When I photograph you, I’m not thinking about getting likes on social media. I’m thinking about what will make your heart grow three times its size. I’m thinking about what will make you ugly-cry, looking back. I’m thinking about you seeing how awesome and truly loved you are.

Awarded Best of Zola
“My husband I decided to elope, planning the whole event in a week. It was important to me to get great photos to share with the friends and family who wouldn't be with us on the day. As soon as I saw Cate Barry's portfolio, especially with the candid photos, I knew that she was the right person to capture the true spirit of the day. Luckily, she was able to squeeze us into her calendar, and our preliminary meetings with Cate were fantastic: she made sure she understood our priorities—super open to who we are and what we care about—and she acted as friend, therapist, and wedding expert in a very frantic time. She even recommended a fantastic officiant who was exactly our speed. On the day, the three of us met up for some outdoor photos before the ceremony, and while I was afraid my husband and I might be awkward or stiff, Cate put us at ease immediately, and we were smiling with natural poses in no time. Then at the venue, Cate both contributed to and captured the joyful, relaxed atmosphere of the day.  We got our photos in record time, and even when we first flicked through the images on my phone over pizza, we could immediately tell Cate had memorialized the magic of the day, from happy tears to spontaneous jumping up and down with our witnesses. It means a lot to have wonderful pictures to share with our loved ones, and we would work with Cate again in a heartbeat.”

On the day itself, he arrived early and guided us in capturing natural, genuine moments. He helped us pose and move in ways that felt relaxed and authentic. The final photos are stunning, with a level of detail my husband and I truly value. Beyond the reasonable pricing for a one-hour elopement, what stood out most was how comfortable he made us feel throughout the entire experience. In just one hour, he captured over 1,000 photos, ensuring no special moment was missed. We’re so happy we chose Rob Skinner Photography and would highly recommend him to any couple looking for an exceptional photography experience.”

“We hired Jenna for our wedding and it was a great experience. She was able to make the day filled with more laughs than awkward moments. For someone like myself who hates their picture taken she was able to get me and my wife to laugh and enjoy the photo session. Jenna was also able to make the experience personal and easy to ask her any questions. The pictures came out amazing and the turn around time was quick. Jenna made some of the most creative photos I’ve ever seen, the poses were definitely awkward at first but truly were a master piece. If you want someone who is going to enhance your day and get amazing photos/memories that will last a life time go with Jenna !”

From the moment we started, he made the entire experience feel fun, comfortable, and effortless. He has such a natural way of guiding you through poses and moments that gently push you out of your comfort zone while still feeling completely authentic. When we received our photos, everyone we shared them with was absolutely blown away by how beautiful they turned out. Rafael is truly so talented. Booking him as our wedding photographer shortly after our engagement session wasn’t even a question. We wouldn’t want anyone else capturing our special day! He is incredibly accommodating, easy to work with, and genuinely listens to your ideas and vision. He made us feel supported every step of the way. We can’t recommend Rafael enough!”

“Can not express how much I love the photos from my wedding at St. Patrick’s Cathedral in NYC! Every single image captured the magic, beauty, and emotion of the day in a way that took my breath away. From the moment we booked her, our photographer was an absolute dream to work with so kind, incredibly flexible, and beyond professional. She took the time to understand the importance and sacredness of the venue, navigating everything with such respect and grace. With the hustle and bustle of New York City and a tight timeline, she handled everything seamlessly. She arrived early, stayed on schedule, and somehow made us feel totally at ease the entire time. She gently guided us through poses without ever making anything feel staged or unnatural, and she captured the in-between moments so beautifully. Her ability to adapt to last-minute changes and still deliver the most breathtaking images is truly a gift. She was patient, warm, and genuinely excited for us, which meant the world.

“Jenni is an absolute gem of a human and a phenomenal photographer. She is so sweet and such a lovely personality. We first worked with Jenni to take our engagement photos, and my husband and I immediately felt comfortable and familiar with her. We are not comfortable in front of the camera at all, but Jenni somehow made us feel like we'd been taking photos together with her for years. After our engagement shoot, I knew Jenni needed to be our wedding photographer. We more or less picked our wedding date based on her availability! A few weeks after booking our wedding with Jenni, she sent us the loveliest care package with a typewriter-written note and a few goodies. She puts so much thought and care into everything she does! On the day of the wedding, Jenni immediately hopped into action. She was patient, kind, and had such confidence in what she was doing (which was so needed, considering you're dealing with not just us as the couple, but our families as well). We were barely past the weekend after our wedding, and we already have sneak peeks! Jenni is a master! Looking at what she was able to capture is truly amazing. I usually do not like looking at photos of myself, but I can't stop looking at these pictures!! I can't believe the gallery she sent is just the sneak peeks - I can't wait to see what else she captured when we receive the full gallery in a few weeks! Jenni is truly the best at what she does. I can't recommend her enough!!”

When looking back at photographs from my life, it’s the candid images—captured by and with close friends and family—that bring memories and emotions flooding back. The ones that truly stick. That’s how I want your wedding photos to feel for the rest of your life—like a warm, familiar hug. I’ve always believed the most significant moments a wedding photographer can capture are those untouched by their own influence. My intent is to observe and document your day as it unfolds—creating authentic images that stand alone as works of art and, together, tell a story that truly reflects your relationship, your family, and your closest friends.

“From the first meeting with Tyler, we knew that we were beginning not only a working relationship, but also a friendship with one of the kindest and coolest. When my husband and I spoke about booking a wedding photographer, our priorities were someone who made us feel comfortable, someone who shot with film, someone who didn’t force us into specific poses, and someone who captured the day’s moments naturally. We didn’t want to spend our wedding day posing for pictures. Tyler did all of that for us and more. He was there to capture everything from the first bite of breakfast to the final dance. So many of our family and friends have spoken to his kindness towards them throughout our wedding day. There’s so much good we could say about Tyler. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. At the end of it, the magnificent album we received seemed like a small perk to the friend we made.”

I would like to capture your special moments in photographs that you can view for years to come.

“Debi did a great job with communication, and the quality of her work is outstanding. Pricing is very reasonable for couples on a budget, and she is very flexible with scheduling. She honored our requests and got the shots we wanted. Turnaround time is very quick (2 weeks). We couldn’t be happier with the results and plan to use her in the future for other life events!”

“I would highly recommend Lightmaster Studios for any photography needs. Shawn photographed our engagement session as well as our wedding ceremony and reception. He was very personable and made us feel comfortable. He was also very professional and listened to what we wanted in our photos. Scheduling was simple, Carrie was very friendly in her commutations and responded quickly to any questions we had along the way. We love how all our photos and video came out in the end and enjoyed sharing them with family and friends. Overall wonderful experience!”

Full-time wedding photographer currently based in Central Connecticut. I love traveling, Thai food, all dogs, almost every type of music, and pretty much anything related to astronomy.

Be prepared for creating secret handshakes, inside jokes, and a ton of memories together!

“Kelsey is beyond talented at capturing genuine moments and making them look incredible. She became a quick friend while also remaining professional. I can’t imagine working with anyone else for our wedding and I will absolutely shoot with her again in the future! Highly recommend working with Kelsey!!!”
