From the first phone call to the final wedding photos, he was a joy to work with, and his work is nothing less than stellar. Our photos came out beautifully. I look forward to hopefully having him photograph more important moments!!”

Welcome! I am a daughter of Vietnamese immigrants who chose to move to Connecticut, where I have lived for most of my life.

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!

From the very beginning, they were incredibly professional, creative, and genuinely invested in making every moment unforgettable. They went above and beyond our expectations in every possible way. The quality of the photos and videos was simply phenomenal. Every shot captured the emotions, joy, and beauty of our celebration so perfectly that we get to relive those memories every time we look at them. But what truly blew us away were the edits they were absolutely fire! The cinematic quality, attention to detail, colors, transitions, and storytelling were on another level. The biggest testament to their talent was the response we received online. Every Instagram post created performed incredibly well, with friends, family, and even people we didn’t know commenting on how stunning the content looked. The visuals were so captivating that our posts went viral, and we continue to receive compliments weeks later. Beyond their exceptional talent, Tharun and his team were warm, patient, organized, and an absolute pleasure to work with. They made us feel comfortable in front of the camera and captured natural, candid moments that we’ll treasure for a lifetime. If you’re looking for a photography and videography team that combines creativity, professionalism, and world-class editing, look no further than Tharun and his team.

We are Maegan and Joe DeCrescenzo, and the little peanut in the picture above is our daughter Juniper. We photograph couples and families during some of their lives most exciting moments. After almost 11 years of photographing weddings together we still get misty eyed at almost every wedding. We know first hand how awkward it can feel to be in front of the camera (umm...what do I do with my hands?), and thankfully know just what to do to make you feel at ease. With a mix of candid and gentle guiding and prompts we make sure you don't just get great photos, you also have a lot of fun.

“Here’s a more polished and heartfelt version of your vendor review that emphasizes the “feels like a friend” sentiment: --- Working with Fox and Veil Photography was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From the very start, Megan felt more like a trusted friend than a vendor—someone who genuinely cared about our day and went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. Her communication was seamless and responsive, which made the planning process feel effortless. We were aiming for a timeless, elegant look, and Fox and Veil delivered that beautifully while still capturing the candid, emotional moments that made the day uniquely ours. Megan's attention to detail, calming presence, and ability to keep things moving smoothly were absolutely invaluable. We’re so grateful to have had her by our side on such an important day, and we can’t wait to work with her again for future milestones. We recommend Fox and Veil wholeheartedly to any couple looking for a photography team that is equal parts professional, talented, and genuinely kind.”

I photograph weddings + elopements across Connecticut and New England, including Hartford City Hall elopements, micro weddings + full venue weddings. I'm also a personal branding photographer working with entrepreneurs and small business owners who are ready to show up more boldly online. My work has been featured in Vogue + Martha Stewart +CT Magazine, to name a few. All couples + backgrounds welcome here.

“Carla was the best photographer we could’ve ever had for our elopement, she made the day so special. My husband and I wanted to elope and didn’t know how to plan a wedding this way, and she walked us through the whole planning process, giving amazing recommendations for hair/makeup, location, officiant, hotel, etc. Everything recommended by her was perfect and any planning questions we had she was always there to answer. The day of the wedding she was with us from getting ready at the Goodwin Hotel, our first look outside the hotel, our wedding at the gorgeous Hartford City Hall, and then more pictures after at Elizabeth Park Rose Garden. Since we had no family or friends at the elopement with us, her energy and passion throughout the day was so wonderful and made the day even more exciting. It felt so special to have her with us that day. And the final result was a masterpiece. Not only were the photos she took phenomenal, but she was able to get them all back to us so fast, since she knew we wanted the photos before we had our wedding celebration with family. It’s been over 3 months now and I still look at these pictures everyday and am always in awe at how beautiful they came out. I would recommend her to absolutely anyone who wants a beautiful person who produces beautiful photos for their wedding.”

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.

“Aren was an absolutely wonderful to work with for our wedding. From the first call, to engagement session, to our wedding day we felt so comfortable with putting the trust of capturing our day in her hands. She made sure to complete almost all of our shot list before the ceremony, leaving ample time to capture the reception and candid moments that were so important to us. Her style is exactly what we were looking for, and her photos speak for themselves. She truly captured the energy and spirit of our celebration in such a beautiful way. As someone who feels extremely awkward in front of the camera, I highly recommend doing an engagement session with her, as it gave us all a chance to get to know each other and for me to get a little more comfortable in front of the camera. We are beyond grateful to her for her thoroughness and creative eye for capturing so many memories from a year's worth of planning and such a few short hours of celebrating!”

PLEASE ONLY INQUIRE BY MY WEBSITE OR INSTAGRAM: KB.PHOTOGRAPGY.LLC Hi, I’m Kyleyah — a New England–based wedding photographer passionate about capturing love stories in an authentic, joyful, and timeless way. As a recent bride myself, I know just how meaningful your wedding day is — it’s more than a celebration, it’s the beginning of a legacy. My goal is to document your day as it naturally unfolds, preserving every heartfelt moment, happy tear, and in-between glance you’ll want to relive for years to come.

“Kyleyah was an absolute dream to work with. From the moment we first spoke, I could tell she was friendly, compassionate and excited. She truly cared about capturing our special moments. Her work is simply stunning - she has a moody, elegant style that perfectly showcased the romance and intimacy of our celebration. Kyleyah photographed our engagement shoot and made us feel right at home right away. She was lovely to work with, willing to discuss options and explore new ideas with us, and truly brought our vision to life with her incredible talent. We are so grateful to have Kyleyah as a part of our wedding memories.”
