“From our first conversation with Abbe Foreman, we knew we had found our photographer. She was funny and easy to talk to, which made the entire planning process feel relaxed and natural. On our wedding day, Abbe went beyond just taking photos—she helped us with timing, read the room, and adjusted plans on the fly to capture what actually mattered. Her elegant and clear work shows the beauty of every moment, from the big celebrations to the quiet details. Abbe's intentional approach meant she was always thinking about what we needed, not just what looked good through the lens. We couldn't have asked for a better person to document our day.”

“Ryan, Jenn and their team were so great to work with. They were so down to earth, while ensuring to always stay professional. I had a great time throughout the process, and they made sure to always make us feel like our opinions mattered. My wife and I did extensive research before picking a photo/video company as we are in a same sex relationship. We wanted to make sure we were supported like any other couple. Whenever we seen how inclusive and diverse the Willow Co. was, we knew they were the ones. Their work exudes love and peace, and those two qualities were super important to us. Cheers to many more years of business to a great company! Sending our love to you all.”

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.

“I had the pleasure of working with Madison this past summer for a wedding I was the florist for. As another vendor, I can't express how impressed I was with Maddie's demeanor for the day. She was such a joy to be around - she managed to be laid back yet kept the ball moving with the couples timeline. She found all the best lighting and scoped out all of the best backdrops for the couple and the end result was absolutely flawless! As a florist, I was blown away when she sent me the full album and had captured so many floral shots. I would love to work with Madison again in the future and would recommend her to all couples looking for a genuine, intuitive, talented and heartfelt photographer.”

  • 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.

From wedding planning to the big day, Colton was a joy to work with—fantastic communication, so personable, professional, and incredibly talented. Our family and bridal party kept complimenting how friendly and amazing he was. He remembered everyone's names, which made the experience even more personalized. He made sure to capture everything on our shot list and more. We were amazed at how quickly he delivered our sneak peek photos (literally 1.5 hours after the wedding ended!!), and they are absolutely stunning!! We are so excited to see the full album!

Hedi Field Photography

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!”

As a creative professional, and storyteller, I find that weddings are a unique and inspiring window into human nature. They offer a glimpse at romantic love, familial love, love between friends and the love of one's own identity. It is a million layers of story that unfold in different ways throughout the event. Capturing each unique story allows me to be and do so many things at once; I’m a portrait photographer, a commercial photographer, a photojournalist, a fashion photographer, a friend and consultant, and most importantly, a witness. To me, this work feels fascinating and beautiful and important. The ultimate gratification occurs when clients return year after year to capture their changing families.

“Jennifer was amazing! Our engagement and wedding photos turned out better than expected. She really put us at ease and made sure to capture every detail of our day. Highly recommend with no hesitation!”

    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!”

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.

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.

    “I am so glad we chose to work with Nicole of Nicole Marcelle Photography. She captured absolutely stunning photos of our small wedding in Providence, and we are still blown away by how beautifully she documented the day. Nicole was professional, funny, and incredibly easy to work with. She offered so much helpful guidance and had a great eye for posing and locations, which made us feel really comfortable and at ease. One of the biggest highlights was how seamlessly she took charge when needed—corralling guests for group photos and keeping everything moving without ever feeling rushed. It allowed us to relax and truly enjoy the moment. We chose Nicole because we were impressed with her portfolio and knew she had photographed at our venue, the Providence Athenaeum, before. Her familiarity with the space showed in every shot; she captured the magic, atmosphere, and little details of the place perfectly. She also made sure my red wedding dress truly POPPED in the photos. Nicole’s work is an incredible investment—her photos are something we’ll treasure for years to come.

    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!

    “I was recommended Rhode Tripper Photography by my makeup artist, Sydney, because she knew I wanted a local photographer who shot on film and digital with an organic, natural style. I wanted real, intimate, beautifully captured moments that showcased Providence perfectly. I am so happy I took her advice! From the start, it was incredibly easy to work with them. During our initial call, Meaghan really got to know us to ensure they could capture exactly what we were looking for. Their pricing is more than fair for the expertise they bring, and they were even willing to work within our budget for some adjustments, which was incredible. We are so glad we did the engagement shoot. Like Meaghan and Evan recommended, it gave us time to get comfortable being photographed. While I talk a lot through my shyness, my (now) husband Sean is more traditionally quiet, neither of us are 'typical' models and we’d both prefer to be behind the camera. Spending time with them got us used to organic movements and posing. Those photos were so incredible that we displayed them at our wedding and have them framed in our home. I never felt more beautiful... until our wedding day! Leading up to the wedding, we had a final check-in to review the timeline. They made sure they were aware of family dynamics and made us feel 100% ready. If I was concerned about anything, I just thought, 'Meaghan and Evan will take care of it.' This was especially true when the weather looked bad. As an anxious person, I started to freak out, but Meaghan calmed me down, talked through contingency plans, and assured us everything would be beautiful. She was right! On the day, they were right on time for detail shots and getting-ready photos. After our first look and portraits at the Airbnb, Meaghan and Evan headed to City Hall to capture our ceremony, then walked with us in the rain to Gracie’s for our reception. They took care of everything. I even forgot they were there at points! They bring life to the party and blend in with guests, creating natural photos. They even joined our after-party at the Dusty Planet for mini-golf photos before heading home. In less than 24 hours, we had our sneak peeks, and they made me cry! I’ve never seen myself look happier than I do in those photos looking at Sean. Sean also mentioned he forgot they were there at times, which says a lot for someone who isn't comfortable in front of a camera. We could not recommend them more! Not only do we have go-to photographers now, but we’ve gained two new friends. They are amazing people who capture perfect moments. Please, please book them! Getting our Polaroids at the end of the night was one of the most special moments for us once we got home. I know Meaghan even does custom photo albums, and we might explore that down the line to create something special for us. She truly does it all, she even helped my mom button my dress on the wedding day. We love them so much!”

    Hello! I'm Lynne Damiano and I am so excited to connect with you! The moments I love to capture are genuine and simple, and preserve what is happening in the moment. I have a photojournalistic style and edit true to life with vibrant color. I capture the best moments in an unobtrusive way. A few more of my favorite things are hiking with our crazy rescue dogs, traveling with my family, making art with my daughter, and doing anything near or on the ocean (hence my business name!) I look forward to connecting with you and creating memories that you can reflect on for years to come.

    “Working with Lynne at Sail Away Photography Inc. was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding day. From our first conversation and engagement session, she was clear and direct about what to expect, which made planning feel stress-free. On the day itself, she remained calm and collected even when things got hectic (as weddings can sometimes be), and her kindness toward us and our guests was genuinely appreciated. She did such an amazing job capturing every moment, while seamlessly fitting in with our family and friends. The photos turned out stunning—her use of natural lighting and modern style really captured the beauty of our celebration without feeling overdone. She brought such a personal touch to everything, making us feel cared for throughout the entire process. We couldn't be happier with Sail Away Photography Inc. and would recommend her without hesitation. She is family now! :)”

    I’m Tim McFate, the photographer behind RescueBox Studio. My style is calm, collaborative, and unobtrusive. I don’t believe in overly posed, cookie-cutter photography. Instead, I focus on genuine emotion and honest interaction. From New England weddings to destination celebrations, I approach every session with curiosity and care — listening to what matters most to you and creating a comfortable environment where your true selves come through.

    “Tim did an absolutely phenomenal job with both the photography and videography for our wedding days.

Tim was professional, calm, and a joy to work with, which made us feel completely at ease throughout the events.

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.”

    Lover of those in-betweens, laughter, and timeless moments. I’m here for it all! Let me help you capture them! Whenever you look back at your images I want you to remember the experience – the way he almost dropped you in that one photo because you were laughing that hard – or the time they gave you rapid-fire kisses up the side of your cheek. Basically – let me third wheel you and capture all the love you have for each other.

    My name is Shelby Simone and I hope to get to know you as we come together for your family's big moments. I am a mom of 3 based in Rhode Island. 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!

    “It was an absolute pleasure working with Shelby for our wedding, and we couldn't be happier with our choice. From the very first intro call to the final details meeting, Shelby was incredibly kind and supportive. Her professionalism and warmth made the entire wedding planning process so much smoother. Shelby’s ability to understand our vision and bring it to life through her photography was truly remarkable and we felt completely at ease knowing she was there to capture every special moment of our big day. Her photos were very natural and candid, which we absolutely loved because they captured the pure joy and love we all felt on that day. Shelby went above and beyond to ensure our memories were beautifully preserved and returned our full wedding gallery with a very quick turnaround, allowing us to relive our special moments sooner than expected.”

    “My now-husband and I spoke to several photographers on the phone, but we both immediately knew Mandie was the one the second we hung up. Neither of us had ever done professional photos before (aside from being in other people’s weddings) and we didn't do an engagement shoot, so our wedding day was our very first time in front of a camera like that. Mandie made it feel totally natural and effortless. She is a true ARTIST. From the moment she walked through the door on our wedding day, it felt like having a close friend in the room. We had an intimate 12-person wedding in Newport, RI, and she blended in perfectly. She kept our day flowing seamlessly without ever feeling overbearing - she’s a complete master of her craft. Her creative vision is unparalleled, and her background in film gives every photo a timeless, natural quality rather than feeling forced. She also works so hard to get your photos / gallery back quickly, which was a total game-changer compared to what I’ve seen other couples go through. We also added her camcorder option, which we LOVED for home-video vibes. Having never planned a wedding before, you don't always realize how invaluable great vendors are until the day comes. I am so grateful Mandie fell into our lap—her photos and video truly keep the magic of that day alive. Honestly, I look through our gallery at least once a day LOL and whenever I look at other wedding photos now, all I can think is, "wow, these have nothing on what Mandie captured for us!" These photos literally mean the world to us. The BEST photomonger in the game. Not to mention she has a great heart, hilarious sense of humor and is just a good person. Grateful to be in her orbit! Don't think twice, just book her!!!”

    “Mallory was incredible! She rearranged my timeline when we were running late and still fit in pics with everyone important. She was helpful and responsive to my needs. She even took my dog to pee when nobody else was available and I was having trouble waking in my dress. She was fun to have at the wedding and had great prompts and energy that helped us get beautiful photos. Her editing style is so cool and helped bring my vision and vibe to life. She sent sneak peeks later in the night after my wedding and they are all stunning. I’m so happy we booked her for our fall wedding.”
