“Kristen was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! She photographed both our engagement session—where she captured the sweetest shots of us with our pups—and our wedding day, and we couldn’t be more grateful for her talent, energy, and heart. From the very beginning, Kristen was so down to earth and easy to connect with. She has such a great personality and instantly made us (and our whole crew) feel comfortable in front of the camera. She even helped me button up my dress after a quick bathroom break—talk about going above and beyond! Kristen truly knows her stuff. She has an amazing eye for angles, light, and location, and she guided us with confidence to make sure we got the most stunning shots. Our wedding day was over 90 degrees with intense humidity, and she powered through all our family portraits and couple shots with absolute ease—never missing a beat. She’s incredibly organized, communicative, and took the time to really get to know us, as well as our friends and family. That personal touch made a huge difference and made every photo feel even more special. Kristen is not only an incredible photographer—she’s a joy to be around.

“Oh where to begin!? We truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Ashley. She has such a special eye for capturing genuine emotions and candid moments in such a beautiful way it's indescribable. And you'll also want to be best friends with her too! She's the best and such a lovable person. From the very beginning, she made us feel so comfortable (my husband is so camera shy btw lol) and she even helped me feel completely at ease about the planning process by providing examples of day-of timelines and lists of needs and not-to-forgets. I knew from one phone call with her that we weren't booking anyone else and our engagement shoot was such a sweet sneak peak for what to expect from her skills on the big day! Nothing would have prepared us for our actual wedding photos though. She and Vannity (our very skilled bonus photographer) did an incredible job capturing all the little details and specials moments. Vannity is also just as easy to love as Ashley! If you’re looking for someone who will make you feel comfortable and truly care about your experience, we cannot recommend her enough. We will be forever grateful that Ashley and Vannity were part of our special day!”

“We got married at the Publick House in Sturbridge, MA in June 2024, and we had such a great experience! The place is made up of a few buildings- my (now) husband was getting ready in one building and I in another. Tony was great with communication; he kept me posted about when he was on his way, when he got to my husband's room, and when he was coming to my room. He was also quick to send sneak peak pics! We told him we didn't like posed pictures, we only wanted a few with our family and wedding party, and then to take the rest of us just being us. The pictures were great! We got the posed photos we wanted, and he was great about my idea of the wedding party being chased by a blow-up dinosaur (seriously)! The rest of the photos were wonderful, just all of us having a good time; he captured them so well! He was very professional and he made the time doing the posed pictures fun. I would DEFINITELY recommend Tony for your event!”

“No words can express how grateful we are for Stevie! She is absolutely amazing at what she does! The attention to detail and literally-every single detail-is unmatched! She goes above and beyond and when you look back on your photos, you are reminded of all the special moments…especially ones that you may not even realized at that moment in time. She truly has an eye for it and she WILL capture it! She is such a pleasure to work with! She makes sure you will always have the best photos to look back on! We appreciate all of her talent and creativity! Not only did she capture our engagement but she traveled all the way to New Jersey from Upsate New York to capture our wedding day!

My name is Margit, and I’m a Mystic, CT wedding photographer, secret baking enthusiast, and mother of the two cutest kids on the planet. I am so happy you’re here. I know how stressful this season of wedding planning can feel, and I hope that by finding me, you can breathe a huge sigh of relief and release those shoulders you have scrunched up by your ears.

“Margit was an absolute joy to work with on our wedding day. She was communicative and professional throughout the entire process. The quality of her work is truly timeless, beautiful, and whimsical - Margit did an incredible and efficient job making sure to get all of my family and friends in the perfect photos. We received sneak peeks of our stunning photos just one day after the wedding, which was such a wonderful surprise. Margit is an extremely talented photographer, and I would highly recommend her to any couple looking to capture the magic of their special day.”

Hi, I’m Allison, and I’ve had the privilege of photographing weddings for over 10 years. My background with USA Gymnastics in sports photography (including the 2020, and 2024 Olympic Trials) has taught me to capture every moment with precision and artistry, making sure no detail goes unnoticed. Because of my commitment to the gymnastics season, I limit the number of weddings I take on each year. This means I can give each couple the time and attention they truly deserve, creating a personalized gallery that tells the beautiful story of their day. I’d love to work with you to capture your unforgettable moments!

Allison and her team made my partner and I feel comfortable and special throughout the entire process, and were a joy to have by our side on our big day. The fast turnaround time on our photos was an added bonus, and we are thrilled with the final results. Highly recommend Allison Cheng Photography for any couple looking for a talented, friendly and professional wedding photographer.”
