Kristen Captures truly made our wedding day unforgettable, capturing every precious moment. The photos we just received are simply perfect. Throughout the entire process, she meticulously went over every detail to ensure we were happy with the results. My husband and I aren't great at posing, but I trusted Kristen to work her magic, and I couldn't be happier that we chose her. Kristen's husband, who also filmed our day, was incredibly kind. They make such a wonderful couple. I can't wait to watch the video!

Liza Lavine Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (31 reviews)
  • Editorial style
  • Serves Newport, RI

Half documentary. Half editorial. Fully yours. Hi, I’m Liza, a wedding photographer based in Boston, serving couples throughout New England and beyond. With a background in fashion photography, I blend candid storytelling with timeless, editorial-inspired imagery. My goal is to capture your day as it naturally unfolds while creating photographs that feel authentic, timeless, and true to you. Years from now, I want your photographs to do more than show you how your wedding looked—I want them to bring you back to exactly how it felt.

Awarded Best of Zola
Liza photographed our small intimate wedding. From the outset, she set out to make sure the day went smoothly and that we would get the best pictures possible on our special day. We explained to her that our wedding would consist of a very short ceremony and a dinner. The rest of the night would be some games and hanging out, but no dancing. Our original vision was to have her photograph the ceremony, group shots, and the dinner and skip couple portraits. After consulting with her, she recommended skipping the dinner photos (nobody looks good while eating) and photographing the ceremony, group shots, and, since our package left us with a remaining hour, plan for couple portraits before our ceremony. It was great advice and we're happy to have the couple portraits! On the day of she was very approachable and made us feel comfortable during our private session. She was clear when directing and arranging folks for the group photos. All of the pictures turned out great! I would definitely recommend Liza for any wedding or special occasion!

Awarded Best of Zola
We had such a great experience with Original Weddings! They handled both our wedding photos and video, and I was honestly so impressed with how everything turned out. They offer three different editing styles plus black and white, which I loved! I ended up choosing all four and it gave us such a great variety of looks and really captured all the different moments and vibes from our day. I’ll add a few photos in the three different styles so you can see the differences! They were easy to work with, professional, and made us feel comfortable the whole time. We also got our photos and video back super quickly, faster than their average turnaround, which was such a nice surprise. Everything exceeded my expectations, and I’ll cherish it forever. Highly recommend!

I think you might be here because you're a little turned off by performative wedding photography. Maybe you don't even want a wedding photographer, exactly. Maybe you just want a good photographer to photograph your wedding. A lot of the people I work with describe themselves as anti-bride. Not anti-wedding. They just don't want the day to feel like a list of things to get through.

Awarded Best of Zola
From our engagement photos to our wedding day, Madison was an absolute pleasure to work with. She immediately had us feeling so comfortable, listed to what we wanted and help guide us through our day all the while making sure we got what we wanted out of it. And bonus, the pictures all came out stunning. Highly recommend this wonderful photographer 3

Newport, RI
  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $6,500

Isles of Ivory is a husband-and-wife wedding photography and filmmaking team based in Newport, Rhode Island, serving couples throughout New England and beyond. Our approach blends refined editorial imagery with honest, documentary storytelling—creating photographs that feel elevated and intentional without losing the emotion and spontaneity of the day. We believe the best wedding photographs come from a balance of thoughtful direction and knowing when to simply let a moment unfold. From quiet, unscripted exchanges to beautifully composed portraits, we create imagery that feels timeless, sophisticated, and distinctly personal.

We hired Jackie and Drew for our wedding and truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We chose Collection 3, but they were incredibly flexible and helped us tailor the package with add-ons that made the most sense for our day. They genuinely worked with us to customize everything — and their pricing felt super reasonable compared to other quotes I saw in the area. You get so much for what you’re spending. From the start, they were collaborative and professional. The planning call was especially helpful — they worked with our coordinator to walk through the weekend and offered thoughtful recommendations for coverage based on the flow of events. It made the day feel effortless. On the day itself, Jackie, Drew, and their fantastic team were absolutely wonderful. Somehow, on what felt like the fastest day of our lives, they managed to slow time down and get every shot without ever making us feel rushed. We got to take photos all over, and it never felt chaotic. Their attitude and energy were unmatched. We held our ceremony outdoors in January — in Massachusetts — and it was 15 degrees. They handled it with a smile and so much grace. Every shot we wanted (and even the ones we didn’t think to ask for) was captured. They were organized, efficient, kind, and made it all feel so smooth. Something important to know: these are seasoned pros with a full calendar of weddings, so while the final results might take a bit of time, it’s never unreasonable — and so worth the wait. They’re super transparent and responsive, and any time I had a question about timelines, they were clear and helpful. Communication was excellent. The final photos and video were everything we dreamed of. The style, tone, and quality were exactly what we had discussed, and I was honestly blown away. I would recommend Jackie and Drew to anyone looking to capture their dream wedding. These are the memories we’ll look back on forever — and I’m so grateful we had them to document it.

I am a wedding photographer from Southeast New England. My love for photography goes back over 15 years and has been intertwined in my creative process ever since. I shot my first wedding 8 years ago and never looked back. I am passionate about capturing the most intimate and special day you will share. With over 150 weddings under my belt, I bring not only top-notch professionalism but a wide array of experience as a wedding photographer.

My husband and I cannot recommend highly enough that you make Colton part of your special day and entire wedding process. He and his team give you incredible photos of memories that will last a lifetime and he really becomes a part time wedding planner at the same time. He helped us every step the way in the planning process and on the big day. He is friendly, helpful, easy to work with, and a total professional every step of the way.

Hedi Field Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (6 reviews)
Newport, RI
  • Classic style

We approach your celebration with a fashion-forward eye and a feel for perfect timing, always choosing intention over interruption. The photos we create feel elevated and effortless, capturing genuine emotion while still feeling beautifully refined.

I cannot recommend Hedi Field Photography enough and would give 100 stars if I could! If you are considering hiring her for your engagement, rehearsal dinner, or wedding please look no further. We used her for all three and could not be happier - not only did we end up with the most incredible photos that we will cherish forever, but we gained such beautiful, fun, memories working with her that will always hold a special place in our hearts. Hedi is extremely talented at capturing your love and bond with ease, and she has such a warm, kind, and infectious energy that makes you feel comfortable from your first picture with her. As a reference - we had worked with another photographer before that did not have this touch, and the photos came out very stoic and awkward as a result. Over 1000 photos from Hedi later and not one awkward one - each one was so full of life and beauty that it instantly transports you back to the moment and makes you smile! Hedi even made sure movement and life shined through the photos of the scenery and the little details that couples work so hard on, nothing went unnoticed! From our very first meeting, Hedi was incredibly organized, meticulously detail- oriented, and thoughtful. She took the time to understand our vision, ensuring that every moment we wanted to capture was prioritized, in every location, and in every outfit. She created timelines and shoot locations to coordinate with the lighting, time of day, and ease of transition to make the process less about logistics for us and more about fun! Hedi went above and beyond during our engagement session and rehearsal dinner, ensuring we got every shot (for the engagement this consisted of 4 outfits and 3 shooting locations later, and for the rehearsal it meant being extra flexible to the large family demands with a high guest count that all wanted pictures ). Hedi has a warm and approachable demeanor, but she knows how to maintain authority amongst what can be crazy family dynamics, keep on track, and expertly adhere to deadlines, ensuring everything ran smoothly, which was especially important and crucial on our wedding day. Beyond her incredible photography talent, Hedi helped take on extra responsibilities that eased the burden on our bridal party, family, and planner. Everyone at our event loved her personality, enthusiasm, and complimented her amazing work ethic and professionalism. Hedi did absolutely everything in her power to make our day as special as possible, and we are so honored and grateful to have had her as our photographer. After the wedding, Hedi delivered sneak peals on just a couple of days, and our full gallery within 2 months. She even went outside the scope of the contract and checked in with me on editing and preferences (she has the most incredible light and airy editing style that makes every pho look like the cover of Vogue) to make sure everything was perfect. We love you Hedi and cannot thank you or recommended you enough!

    Hi! I'm Meg! I LOVE what I do, and I enjoy sharing my vision with everyone! I got my first camera from a Kelloggs Corn Flakes mail in off the box when I was in the 3rd Grade and ever since then I've been HOOKED! Since I began photographing on Film, and learning the TRUE Process of Color Printing and Processing in a dark room, I have become a nit-pic for portraying the truth in a photograph. It's a blessing to be surrounded by so many Amazing people! I wouldn't be here today without the love and support of my Family, Friends & clients who are all over the globe. I am truly one of the luckiest gals around!

    Meg was INCREDIBLE as our photographer for our October wedding in the Berkshires. She is so easy to work with, especially my husband who doesn’t typically like being photographed. She made us both feel so at ease, gave clear instructions for poses, and made everything feel really natural. We had large wedding parties and large families, and she was awesome at wrangling everyone. We are so excited to see how everything turns out!! Thanks, Meg!

    Based in Rhode Island and serving all of New England. Love By The Ocean Co. is a wedding photography business that is dedicated to capturing your most cherished memories in breathtaking detail, creating timeless images to be treasured for a lifetime. As a dedicated wedding photography business, I go above and beyond to fully cater to each couple, delivering a personalized experience that exceeds expectations. From the quiet, intimate moments to the grand celebrations, we document your wedding day with unmatched quality and care.

    If you are here reading reviews trying to decide on a photographer for your engagement shoot, wedding, or truly any special moment in your life, this is the only review you need. From the moment we met Nick, his kindness, compassion, and vision were unmatched. He immediately made me feel comfortable and confident. Within minutes, he asked what my favorite side was (ladies, if you know, you know!) and made sure we looked amazing from every angle. He guided us through poses seamlessly, always pointing out little details - a leg bend here, a hand placement there - so we never felt awkward or unsure. His professionalism and genuine care for his couples shine through in every shot. We received our photos so quickly, and I was absolutely blown away. We had shared a Pinterest board for inspiration, and Nick not only brought it to life but elevated it beyond anything I could have imagined. Honestly, our gallery looks like it belongs in a magazine .. I will never get over it. When I opened our gallery, I was speechless. My whole family cried. Every single photo was breathtaking. Nick is a master in every setting - as the sun shifted, he instinctively knew how to capture the most flattering, magical lighting. It’s been a week, and we still can’t choose just three favorites to enlarge for our home because every photo feels like a masterpiece. I also need to mention that my fiancé owns a wedding videography company, so the bar for our photographer was set very high. He now recommends Nick to every couple he works with, because he knows no one does it better - and after seeing our photos, I completely agree. I don’t usually leave reviews, but Nick’s talent and kindness deserve to be recognized. These were only our engagement photos, and I already can’t wait to see the magic he creates on our wedding day in 2027. So to all the brides and couples out there: do yourself the biggest favor and book Love By the Ocean Photography. Nick is truly the best of the best, and you’ll be over the moon that you did. With light, and SO much truth, Lexi R.

    Willow Photo Co. was a dream to work with from start to finish. Their communication style was quick, easy, and painless - they were always responsive to our questions and made sure we had a solid plan in place for our wedding day. They were passionate, dedicated, and paid incredible attention to detail when capturing all of the special moments we had planned for. They were great to work with, and we loved having a video chat with them a week before the wedding to go over the timeline and make sure everything was set. When our hair and makeup ran a little behind, they were flexible with their original itinerary, ensuring the process remained painless. We are so excited to see what they create for us. We would highly recommend Willow Photo Co. to any couple planning their wedding.

The result is a narrative visual story of enduring human connections, and a chronicle of emotional moments that they can revisit time and time again.

    Tired of not seeing yourselves represented in the wedding industry? Welcome to the RTP fam - we're a husband and wife duo shooting a combination of digital, film and Polaroid photos so that your gallery will deliver all the vibes and capture your sick, nontraditional love. And because of all the time we'll spend together getting to know you and crafting the perfect photo timeline for your day, you'll feel like we're just your two best friends there to capture the moments. No matter your size, race, gender, sexual orientation or religion, we're here to hype you up as you share all your wildest wedding ideas with us!

    Meaghan and Evan photographed our Halloween wedding and we couldn't imagine having anyone else! We met Meaghan and Evan last October when they shot our engagement photos. They were more than willing to trudge through our favorite park and stop at all our favorite spots to get some beautiful photos we used for our save the date. We got to get to know them a little more over at our favorite little ramen restaurant after the session and of course we were instantly sold! Meaghan was super communicative and responded to every email I sent her pretty much right away every single time. As we got closer to the wedding day, she sent an incredibly detailed questionnaire. It covered everything from our most important shots to what weird family dynamics she should be conscious of; we sincerely appreciated this level of care, especially as a queer couple with some iffy family things. When I was hiring vendors, it was extremely important to me to find vendors who were queer/queer friendly and body positive, and Meaghan checked off both boxes in spades. My wife and I both have huge body insecurities and are deeply self-conscious of photos-but Meaghan made us both feel so beautiful. I was never even aware of the parts of myself I am usually hyper aware of because Meaghan and Evan both made us feel so comfortable. We were able to laugh and feel every emotion without once worrying about how we would look in the photos. On the day of, Meaghan kept us right on track without rushing us or making us feel stressed. We were definitely running behind at points but Meaghan handled it all with grace and helped me keep my head above water the whole time. They captured every moment in such a storybook way that we are able to talk about and remember every detail of the day based on the photos. This gallery is such a keepsake and such a special reminder of the best day of our lives. Its so heartwarming to look back and see how happy we and our guests look. And my wife and I both couldn’t have asked for more stunning photos of ourselves. We both look and feel so feminine, so whimsical, so magical. She captured our authentic selves, which is what makes her photos so unique and beautiful. I can't wait to order our prints and have these photos in our home forever! Thank you, Meaghan and Evan. There's so much more I could say but I'll leave off with, we are so grateful to have had you on our day. We love our photos so much. And we can't wait to have you do another shoot for us sometime in the near future! We cannot recommend you highly enough!

    When searching for a photographer, I was overwhelmed by the number of options available. Dominique didn’t make me feel pressured. She provided us with her wedding guide, which gave us insight into who she is. When we met remotely, I instantly knew she was the one. She was enthusiastic, listened attentively, and asked us questions about what is important to us leading up to the wedding and beyond. She was great to work with, and I knew what to expect. She drafted our timeline, offered recommendations, and helped us design it based on what was important to my husband and me.

    Choosing Lynne as our wedding photographer was one of the best decisions we made for our special day! Lynne met with us beforehand to get an idea of what we were looking for in our pictures. We wanted something relaxed and natural that felt like us to capture our backyard wedding, and she delivered! Not only did she make us feel comfortable in front of the camera (something neither of us usually are!), she established a great rapport with our guests throughout the day which made for amazing candid and posed photos of all of our loved ones. We still have family and friends talk about how great she was at our wedding and asking for her contact information to set up their own photo shoots with her. We have since ordered prints from her and everything that we received is extremely high quality. Thank you for everything, Lynne!

I photograph weddings and family sessions throughout New England but travel nationally and internationally. I love what photography provides - memories. Photos help you remember the moment you said, "I do", those tiny newborn feet, and how much your child loved their first visit to the beach. I would be thrilled to help you and your growing family capture those moments that you will remember forever!

    Shelby has been with our family since 2019 when she shot our engagement photos. Since then she has become one of our favorite people! From our wedding, to maternity photos, newborn session and our yearly family photos, Shelby is amazing. She’s so fun to work with and always makes our sessions fun and easy! I am so thankful to have met Shelby and can’t wait to use her for years to come.

    Hi! I’m Allison, the heart behind Allison Barrett Photography. I specialize in capturing wedding-day beauty across Newport, Rhode Island and all over New England. My approach goes beyond just taking pretty pictures—I create an experience that becomes part of the memory itself. I’m there to support you through the day, help keep things running smoothly, and capture every genuine moment, laugh, and happy tear along the way. From getting ready with your crew to those just-married golden hour portraits, I’m there with a camera in one hand and a calming presence in the other. Let’s create something beautiful together.

    Allison Barrett Photography was a joy to work with on our wedding day. From the beginning, their communication was easy and straightforward, which put us at ease throughout the planning process. On our wedding day, even though it rained, Allison had a creative eye and managed the situation seamlessly to capture so many wonderful moments. We chose not to have a wedding party and she handled situations like a maid of honor. She made us feel so comfortable and ensuring we got so many great photos to cherish. The quality of their work was exceptional - we had an abundance of beautiful images to choose from that perfectly captured the unique spirit of our day. Allison Barrett Photography was a true professional partner in making our wedding day so special.

    Hi! My name is Courtney. I am the owner and lead shooter of Courtney Cohen Photography. I am based out of Barrington, RI, and love to spend time with my husband, toddler, and dog by the beaches of Rhode Island. I have a very candid approach when it comes to photography. I want to capture the raw emotion that you will remember for years and years to come. I shoot mainly outdoors with natural light but am trained with OCF (off-camera flash) for any low light or indoor locations. I strive to work with my clients not only to give them amazing pictures but also to make their lives as easy as possible. I hope that you reach out and we can chat!

    Just WOW!! If you’re looking for a highly skilled, super fun/bubbly/upbeat photographer for your wedding, look no further, Courtney is IT (and worth every penny)!! Throughout the entire process she was so easy to communicate with and really makes an effort to get to know the bride and groom. From the second she arrived at our venue she felt like a best friend/family that we’ve known forever and was just taking our wedding photos for us. We had so much fun with her throughout the day and she went above and beyond to get the best shots for us and the shots/styles we knew we wanted from the get go. I have worked with other photographers in the past and Courtney is by the best, most skilled, and people oriented photographer I’ve ever been privileged to work with/hire. I highly highly recommend Courtney; you will not be disappointed and she will make your day all that extra special!

    One of the best decisions we made was hiring Mallory. We are "so-so" with the camera (not entirely shy but also "what do I do with my hands"- kind of people). Mallory was awesome to show some styles that she was thinking of and looked at some inspiration photos that we picked out (this was done way before engagement shoot and before our wedding day). She made our engagement session super relaxed and fun - her ability to capture "moments" of our relationship left us in awe. She would let us do our thing and then gently guide/direct us, which was exactly what we needed (some guidance with no "stiff" or "don't move" photos). Fast forward to wedding planning, we shared a brief list of "mandatory family photos" and she created a timeline (with our wedding coordinator's timeline) and we gave her full reign on creativity! Again, she excelled! She captured some beautiful moments and looking back - we could FEEL and remember those moments she captured. We are forever in awe of her talent and ability to capture our day. During our wedding day, we unfortunately had a nor'easter come through (some would say good luck) - so lots of rain. Mallory was beyond prepared. She brought us umbrellas (I had also gotten some) and she was quick to make changes as needed. We received SO many compliments on Mallory's work and how well she worked with our other vendors. Additionally, I appreciate that she never "stopped" our day - as in, interrupt what was happening to get a particular photo. Rather, she flowed with our wedding planner and found opportunities to capture literally so many beautiful moments! I'm so happy we trusted her because she saw things that we couldn't and we are forever grateful for that. I cannot recommend her enough!! She gained clients for life :)
