Whether you're enjoying wedding planning and excited to choose a photographer, or ready for the entire shindig to be over, I want to help and support you from right now until the dance floor, while creating dramatic images that tell a story of you two, your day, and your unique brand of love. Take a look at my full body of work on my website, and if you like what you see and read, let's have our first conversation!

“I don’t even know where to begin, because no matter how many words I use, I don’t think I’ll ever be able to fully capture just how incredible Johnny was. I can honestly say that choosing Johnny was one of the best decisions I made throughout this entire wedding planning process. You aren’t just booking a photographer—you’re getting a photographer, a best friend, and someone who genuinely has your back through the entire process. Weddings come with chaos, drama, last-minute changes, and everything in between. Johnny handled every change, every request, and every random thing we threw his way with nothing but patience and kindness. He never once made me feel guilty for asking for something. In fact, he did the complete opposite. He constantly reminded me, *“It’s your day.”* And that meant more to me than he probably even realized. Our engagement session still makes me cry. And now, two days after our wedding, I’m sitting here crying over our sneak peeks all over again. You are NOT getting your average, boring portrait photos with Johnny—and that’s exactly what we wanted. His photos don’t just make you look back on your wedding day; they make you **relive it**. The emotion, the little moments, the people, the love—he somehow captures all of it in a way that feels almost magical. What Johnny does is incredible, but who Johnny is makes it even more special. I truly cannot thank him enough for the way he showed up for us, supported us, and captured memories that I will cherish for the rest of my life. If you’re considering booking Johnny, do it. You won’t just be hiring a photographer—you’ll be gaining someone who cares about you, your story, and your day just as much as you do. And those are memories you can never put a price on.”

I'm a husband and dad who comes stocked with dad jokes and silly prompts, and yes, they work. Couples tell me I bring a calming presence to the day, so you get traditional portraits and unposed moments that both feel like you.

“Chris is an absolute gem of a human and is incredibly passionate about his craft. 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. 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!

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.

“Working with Tharun and his entire photography team was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding reception. 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. They don’t just capture memories they create timeless works of art. We couldn’t be happier and would recommend them without hesitation to anyone looking for the very best.”

I specialize in true-to-color, natural photography for couples + business owners who want images that actually look like them. 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.

“A camera can pick up the visual attraction of a moment, but most times it feels impossible to relive the actual energy of that place in time. Carla - is the absolute key to capturing every ounce of that magical energy. My wedding day was truly the most remarkable day of my life, and every single picture Carla took brings me back to that exact moment in a way I never thought a photo could do. Not only is she a visual genius - but she set the tone for the entire day. Some people in the bridal party who HATE having their picture taken, had so much fun they didn’t even realize they were having a “photo shoot”. Her attention to timing is flawless. Her timeline had every single picture we wanted to get, every friend and family member, every quirky thing I incorporated - and in the most elegant way I could have NEVER imagined. ALSO major plus - her son Jackson is a brilliant videographer. He did our video and their chemistry and vibrant energy was EVERYTHING!!!!! Do yourself a favor - just book her. She’s really busy because she’s so amazing so don’t wait. LOLOLOLOL”

Wedding photographs you'll return to for fifty years. The moments you were too happy to notice, the portraits you'll frame, the room exactly as it was designed, made quietly by someone already standing where the moment is about to happen. I'm Shukhrat, based in Connecticut and photographing weddings wherever you're celebrating: Newport and the Rhode Island coast, Boston, the Berkshires, the Catskills, the Connecticut shoreline, and further afield. Every wedding has two photographers and an assistant. Digital, 35mm film and licensed aerial photography from one team, and your first gallery, around 500 finished photographs, within a week.

Awarded Best of Zola
“Shukhrat Kamalov was a standout HIT. Our guests felt like absolute celebs! We didn't want the standard photobooth as it can come off a little too cheesy for my tastes. And since we were asking all of our guests to come dressed in their best, we decided it was only appropriate they also get their own designated photographer. Shukhrat took his time with each of our guest's photo sessions, directing them and taking multiple shots until our guests loved what he captured. AND he printed them out so our guests had something to bring home. All of our guests told us that these photos would be framed in their home . THEY WERE THAT GOOD.”

This little hobby that started back in 2015 has become an absolute dream come true!! Photographing weddings is my second favorite part of this job, with serving the most incredible couples being the first! I knew from the start that I wanted my business to be focused on creating an amazing wedding experience that caters to each couple in a unique and memorable way! My focus throughout the entire process is to make things easy, stress-free, and most of all FUN! Outside of this business, I also train Ninja Warrior and love exploring throughout New England & the Northeast!

Awarded Best of Zola
“My wife and I had an absolutely traumatic photography search experience. Our original photographer never panned out, was shady, and never made it seem like they cared about the product. That's why when we decided to search for someone new and stumbled upon Chelsea, we knew the stars were aligning at the the correct time with this absolute blessing in disguise. From our first meeting, Chelsea listened to us, understood what we were coming from and where we wanted to go in terms of our photos. Her breathtaking bright and colorful photos were exactly what we were looking for in our April wedding. Despite meeting in person for the first time the day of our wedding, the lead up and communication day of made it feel like we were old friends seeing each other again. Both her and her husband/second shooter Ryan are top notch. They executed all the fun little quirks we wanted perfectly, including our groomsmen "NFL Entrance" photos, and private "First Touch". They stayed through most of the night and captured the entire reception, intros, dances, and party. We left for our honeymoon less than 2 days later, and by the time we landed, we already had 100 (!) photos as a sneak peek. The turnaround time was incredible. Chelsea prides herself on connecting with her clients, keeps her promises, and delivers exceptionally. We count our lucky stars we found Chelsea Lavallee Photography when we did. She made our day complete. Thank you Chelsea & Ryan!”

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.”

Kristine was sooo accommodating with this quick change and we really found a connection between us both having a smaller wedding. Kristine made my husband and I feel so comfortable behind the camera which was HUGE for me because I wanted our pictures to feel fun and candid rather than totally posed. Kristine made me feel at ease with all of my late night emails about lighting and timelines etc. She has such a passion for this and you can see it while she is working and with the results of her photos.

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!”

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.”

Your wedding day totally isn’t about me, but I should tell you that I take a heart-centered, thoughtful approach to documenting what will be one of the most special days of your life. It is my dream come true to be able to document your love, your friends and families, and the happiest moments of your life. This is your love legacy. Thank you for sharing this piece of your life with me!

“Katie and her sister shot our winter wedding in Vermont. They were absolutely incredible. Katie was extremely prepared and organized with pre-wedding meetings. She kept us feeling comfortable, ready, and excited for our big day. On the day of the wedding they were absolutely incredible. They lead our group and kept the photos quick, organized, and lead us to the most beautiful back drops. They made us feel like stars and continued to check in with us to make sure our needs were being met. Our photos came back so quick and they blew us away. They are absolutely gorgeous. They completely captured the vision and understood what we were looking for. We highly recommend Katie!”
