Original Weddings Photo & Video is a team of EMMY award winning storytellers. Our photography and videography packages are tailored to you, customizable and perfect for every wedding. We offer engagement photography, wedding photos, highlight films, wedding coverage and more.

Awarded Best of Zola
The team at Original Photo & Video was friendly, professional, and full of creative ideas that made us feel confident and cared for. They listened closely to our shot list and brought it to life — the drone footage was especially epic! We can't wait to see the final gallery and relive every moment through their lens. Their style is cinematic yet deeply personal - every frame feels intentional, romantic, and full of movement. Teddy (Lead Photo) and Gabby (Second Photo) captured not just the big moments, but the quiet, emotional ones too, with an eye for light and composition that made everything look editorial-worthy. Jem (Lead Video) and Feddy (Second Video) brought such positive energy to the day - they were everywhere and nowhere all at once, capturing magic without ever interrupting the flow. You could feel their passion in every interaction, and it was contagious. Our other vendors kept commenting on how much they loved working alongside them — they were collaborative, respectful, and made everyone feel like part of the story. We're so grateful to have had this dream team documenting our day!

As a passionate photographer, I specialize in capturing the essence of love, joy, and intimate connections through family portraits, couples’ sessions, and the beauty of weddings and elopements. Let’s work together to celebrate the love and connections that make life so remarkable.

Awarded Best of Zola
We absolutely love our photos from our December 2025 elopement at Hartford City Hall! Working with Breanna Diaz Photography LLC was an incredible experience from start to finish. As a photographer myself, finding the right person to capture our wedding day was a huge decision. I wanted someone I could fully trust so I could truly be present and enjoy the moment rather than think about the photos. Breanna gave me exactly that peace of mind. She had an amazing ability to be everywhere at the right time without ever making the day feel staged or overwhelming. Our images are emotional, timeless, and truly tell the story of our elopement from Hartford to Foxwoods. Every time we look at them, we’re brought right back to that day. If you’re looking for a photographer who is professional, talented, and truly cares about documenting your story, I can’t recommend Breanna enough.

Imagine this: it's your wedding day. You're somehow feeling both insanely excited and at peace. You made your day into a little universe that represents you and your partner. The details are super personal, the atmosphere feels like home, and you can't wait to see it full of your favorite people. You’re thinking about being a total goofball with your love, the enthusiastic conversations, your friends losing their minds during the first kiss. You know that song that you and your partner sing in the car? When it comes on, you'll grab their hand and run to the dance floor. And in 50 years, you'll see those exactly moments as they were

I could not have asked for a better person to capture my wedding! On our wedding day, it poured rain and I was absolutely devastated that the outdoor wedding I had been dreaming of was not happening. As I was sitting there faced with that reality, about to ruin my makeup with tears, Andrea swooped in like a superhero and genuinely made me feel like the rain was a good thing. She was the only voice of reason that made me feel like everything was still perfect. She ran around in the rain with us all day capturing the most gorgeous photos and I didn’t feel like I missed out at all. She was prepared with clear umbrellas and we actually had fun! She is also just so talented, the pictures and the saturation are just absolutely gorgeous, and not only that but she also has an absolute talent for capturing joy and movement. All my vendors have chosen to use her photos from my wedding on their websites, seriously just hire her!!!

Wedding and event photographer and djs in CT. Lyrical Lens Events performs weddings, mitzvahs, quinceañeras, and more. We connect with clients to create personalized, unforgettable moments through photography, dj, lighting and photobooth services.

We hired Lyrical Lens for our wedding in Sept 2020. We found it very easy because they offered DJ and photography, and also a Photo Booth. The process of booking was super easy, and prior to the wedding they gave me access to a site to input the songs I wanted for each part of the ceremony and reception. Super easy. I also loved that we got two photographers. At the wedding itself, the music was on point, keeping the dance floor full all night long. Connie and the other photographer really snapped all of the action throughout the night. We got so many comments from our friends about how great our photographers were and that they were “everywhere,” and even a comment about how Connie had stood on chairs to try to get the perfect shot. We have great shots of everyone dancing having a great time, group shots, family shots, etc. I highly recommend Lyrical Lens for all of your wedding needs.

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.

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!

Here's to timeless photography with a shower of romance and a strike of passion. Our wedding day is many things. Bubbling with laughter and lingering in a soft kiss. Impromptu sing-alongs with forever friends and quiet gratitude for this chance to bring everyone together. You deserve imagery that documents your wedding day’s natural cadence with authenticity.

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.

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.

Hi! I’m so happy you found your way here! My name is Kristine, and I’m a wedding photographer serving couples throughout New England and Florida. I specialize in capturing genuine, emotional moments in a way that feels natural and true to your day. My goal is always to help my couples feel comfortable in front of the camera while creating images that preserve not just how everything looked, but how it truly felt. Beyond photography itself, I’m there to help everything flow smoothly and create a relaxed, fun experience from beginning to end. 🤍

From the beginning I felt like Kristine was a friend! We connected on the phone soon after telling her my engagement photo shoot will now be my wedding instead. 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.

We hired Juliana for our wedding this September, and she was absolutely incredible from start to finish. Her communication was always timely, kind, and professional, which made the whole experience so easy and stress-free. Beyond being an amazing photographer, she truly goes above and beyond. She helped us create the wedding day timeline, kept everything running smoothly, and still made sure we were able to enjoy the day exactly how we wanted. Our package also came with an engagement photoshoot, and those photos are just as stunning! Juliana was flexible, patient, and such a calming presence to have around on such an important day. And of course, the photos are absolutely stunning. She captured every special moment beautifully, especially for two people who don’t love being in front of a camera. We are so grateful to have these memories documented so perfectly. We seriously can’t recommend Juliana enough!!

Hi. I'm Sylwia, wedding photographer based in Connecticut. I believe that there is beauty to be found in everyone and everything. Each wedding is full of its own special moments and my aim is to create beautiful and intimate imagery that you can treasure forever. My work is inspired by natural light, nature, thoughtful details and people who are deeply in love.

Sylwia was an absolute joy to work with! She captured the most beautiful moments that felt natural. Her style of photography is absolutely timeless and so elegant. She even helped me plan out my entire wedding timeline to ensure we would have enough time to capture every detail. She went above and beyond to help ensure our wedding day ran smoothly and on time. We absolutely adore our sneak peek photos and we cannot wait to get the rest of them! Highly recommend Sylwia for any photography needs!

Almost 20 years of experience and I still get as excited as I did when I first started photographing events! I got my BFA in photojournalism at Rochester Institute of Technology and my common sense from a well-lived, full life. From intimate weekday elopements to full scale destination events that require a team of photographers, I have done it all. I focus on telling the most full and vibrant story of your event, so you can look back and feel like you didn't missed a thing.

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.
