We are so happy we went with Vlad for our wedding. He was so friendly and good at his job. He was able to get all the shots we wanted, and he had some photo ideas that we didn’t even think of that we are really grateful we took. He was really capturing the moment the entire time. Highly recommend choosing Vlad!

Carla Ten Eyck Photography

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $4,700

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.

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

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. That you can hold and cherish. Plus, I come stocked with dad jokes and silly prompts. It's a win-win.

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!!

Melanie has such a passion for weddings and it shines through in her work! She took our engagement and wedding photos and we absolutely love them. Not everything went perfectly smoothly on either day (torrential rain on our engagement shoot day is one example) and Melanie remained calm, cool, and collected. She is patient, flexible, and a total joy to be around. Working together was a really fun experience and she brought our very specific vision for our photos (especially the engagement shoot) to life. Our photos even got featured on a blog or two, which I was so thrilled about! I highly recommend working with Melanie for your special occasions!!

Fox and Veil Photography

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $4,600
  • Serves Hartford, CT

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.

I’m Danielle Day, a self-taught photographer, For me, it’s always been about emotion and storytelling capturing the intimate, in-between moments that feel like home. I want your photos to feel like you—natural, timeless, and full of meaning. I’m a little bit of a free spirit—down to earth with a touch of hippy dippy. I love deep talks about life and aliens, spontaneous road trips, a good belly laugh, and creating art that makes people feel something. I promise two things: you’ll laugh until your stomach hurts, and we’ll create beautiful photo memories.

Couldn’t recommend her more. She captured the most amazing photos, and I am not one that’s comfortable in front of a camera. She made the experience so comforting and encouraging, I couldn’t believe how amazing the pictures came out! She also got the pictures back to us so quickly!

  • Serves Hartford, CT

I began capturing images in high school at a young age and fell in love with the process of capturing raw moments on camera. I decided to pursue my dream and go to school in Boston for photography. Alongside this, I have my sociology degree and really understand and connect with so many people. To me, building strong connections with my clients is so important and I find myself being able to easily talk to people of all walks of life. My knowledge of people and passion for photography sparked my pathway into wedding photography; capturing love filled couples and all the emotions that come with getting married.

Working with Deirdre was one of the best parts of our wedding! We were glad to meet her beforehand at the engagement shoot - she really helped us feel comfortable and went above and beyond to get shots in some different locations that held special meaning for us. At the wedding, it is SO good to have a familiar face. She again made not just my husband and I but the whole wedding party feel comfortable. She dealt with family chaos like it was no problem at all (when people tell you that family photos are the most stressful part of the day - BELIEVE THEM). She has an excellent eye for detail and captured some truly beautiful shots. Our sneak peeks are great - I know the full album is going to be special!!

Hey, I'm Mary! It's nice to meet you. Summing up who I am in an "about me" is always difficult. What you must know: (1) I'm a nerd. If you want to talk video games, LOTR or Doctor Who, we HAVE to sit down for a bourbon or a coffee. (2) Yes, I will be out on that dance floor with you snapping away while joining in on the fun. And (3), while I'm a photographer first, supporting you during the planning process feels crucial to me - from building a timeline to having your back any way I can. Woman/LGBTQIA+ Owned

From the moment we met Mary, we knew we wanted her to capture our special day. She is an amazing human and incredibly talented - I mean, just look at her work and it says it all! Her photography style is just beautiful. From the start, Mary was very in-tune with us and truly listened to what our vision was and then brought it to life even better than we could have imagined. She was by our side throughout the entire process, even including on our wedding day, beyond just capturing the moment, she was helping guide us through the day. Mary was truly our favorite “vendor” that was part of our wedding day - we got excited every time we were going to talk to her ahead of our wedding and we were ecstatic when we finally got to meet her IRL - she is just such a cool & talented human! Now that it’s all over, we’re so thankful to have the amazing photography that Mary captured, which we will be able to look back on for the rest of our lives. Thank you Mary, for being such an important part of our day and for capturing our day.
