Hii! I'm Nicole and I work full-time as a nurse and pursued my passion for photography in 2017 when I would attend my boyfriend (now husband's) motocross races all over New England. I quickly began capturing family and friends and learned that I loved capturing moments in life big and small! I love capturing people in love and enjoy being able to make others feel beautiful and confident through my photos.

We’re so glad we chose Nicole as our wedding photographer. She was professional, calm, and made everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera. She captured every important moment from the big highlights to the small, candid ones with such a natural and romantic style. Nicole was organized, easy to work with, and blended in seamlessly throughout the day. Our sneak peeks are already incredible, and we can’t wait to see the rest. We’ll cherish these photos forever. Highly recommend!

Her response time with emails/texts was quick and always answered all of our questions. We would absolutely have Mariel shoot pictures for us in the future!

My husband Andrew and I know that we are our best and most authentic selves when we’re supported and intentional with our time and each other - especially since the arrival of our daughter. Marriage teaches you a lot of things, and I truly believe that my marriage has taught me how to be a better friend, communicator, and business owner. I get excited about connecting with people, building friendships with my couples, and sharing their stories through imagery.

Awarded Best of Zola
I’ve worked with many different photographers, and in my opinion Cora is one of the best photographers in CT. Her work is exquisite and authentic. Cora and her assistant Jess (also incredible) captured intricate details, memorable moments, and unpredicted candids. My favorite candids of all was one of me dancing with my 98-year-old grandmother. Aside from her impeccable photography skills, Cora is a wonderful person. COVID-19 created a few plot twists for our July 2020 wedding. We had been planning our CT wedding from Colorado (where we reside) and had to jump every hurtle imaginable; state mandates, new venue restrictions, timeline adjustments, COVID tests. Despite it all, Cora was supportive, helpful, and accommodating. She genuinely takes an interest in getting to know her couples and has your best interest at heart. Our wedding day turned out to be better than anything we could have planned and I am so glad I hire Cora as our wedding photographer. I adore Cora and the friendship we built through wedding planning. We plan to hire her for future family formals as our family grows!

Hey there, I’m Erika! What started as a love for photographing nature turned into a passion for capturing real connection. Now, I focus on weddings and love stories of all kinds. My style is bright, vibrant, and full of natural light. I want you to feel relaxed and yourself in front of the camera so your photos feel like you- whether you're throwing a big celebration or keeping it simple and sweet. If you’re looking for a wedding photographer who’ll capture the real, honest moments, I’d love to chat.

Bright Lens Photography was the perfect choice for our engagement photography. From the start, Erika's communication was professional, prompt, and transparent. She made us feel at ease during our engagement photo shoot, guiding us on poses and adjusting my hair as needed. The final photos were fantastic, with beautiful editing and a wide variety of shots. Bright Lens provided us with a complete digital album at a very reasonable price, and the turnaround time was a huge bonus compared to some other photographers we considered. We couldn't be happier with the quality of Erika's work and the way she contributed to making this special time so memorable.

Photography, to me, isn’t about stiff poses or rushing through a timeline. It’s about creating space for you to breathe, laugh, tear up, and fully live your day. I care deeply about making you feel comfortable and confident in front of my camera, because when you feel at ease, your images feel natural, elevated, and completely authentic. This isn’t just a job for me — it’s storytelling, legacy, and the privilege of preserving moments that will matter long after the cake is gone and the music fades.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Nicole and her work! Professional and beyond my expectations! She captures whatever it is she’s photographing perfectly. She’s creative and takes control in large group settings, helping everyone know where they need to be. She was a blast to work with and just has a great calm energy. I couldn’t imagine anyone better capturing our wedding day. Hire her!!

The quality of their work was exceptional - the price was worth every penny, as we felt we received complete value for the results. Liza and her team made us feel very comfortable, even for someone like myself who is not usually at ease in front of the camera. The engagement shoot they did with us beforehand made the day of the wedding that much better, as we were already accustomed to their style and approach.

I’m a storyteller. That’s what I’m here to do - document the story of one of your greatest celebrations. My work is heavily focused on the authentic, unplanned moments. My approach is observational and real, creating images that are genuine representations of you, those you love, and the space and moments you share. I create true-to-life images that will bring you back to some of your sweetest, most treasured moments for years to come. If you’re looking for a light-hearted, boisterous creative to work with, you’ve found her. I'm people-centric which means that, I'm focusing on you, your guests, and the real moments you're sharing together.

Awarded Best of Zola
I knew we needed to book Kaitlin from the second I found her Zola profile, but it was completely solidified by our meet and greet meeting. Kaitlin is exactly as described. So personal, completely herself, open and transparent, I could go on and on. One of the biggest things that sold us with Kaitlin (besides her work) was the fact that she gave us advice on what to look for/questions to ask with other photography vendors while we were on our hunt. We had our engagement photos in October in Boothbay Harbor and we are actually located in Western Mass. I had ideas in my head about what would work and Kaitlin made the drive to check out the locations and ensure they actually would. One of my locations wasn't the best lighting wise and she gave multiple other options to get similar looks. We actually ended up doing some downtown photos which are some of my favorites (which is a little a lie because I am obsessed with all of them). I read in multiple of Kaitlin's reviews that she makes awkward people comfortable behind the camera and I am here to say it is true. I was so stressed going into things, worried my hair looked bad, we wouldn't get *the* shot, we would look weird, etc. Kaitlin immediately asked me what my worries were and I felt so at ease. Working with Kaitlin felt like working with with a lifelong friend who really has it all together and is such a professional. I truly know that our wedding day is going to be that much better knowing she is going to be there documenting it all.

It's been 15 years running this small business as a Boston wedding photographer, a New England wedding photographer, working all around the greater Boston area and traveling to destination weddings as well. It's been a crazy ride so far, and I can honestly say I still love what I do! I am so grateful that 400+ wedding couples have trusted me to be a part of their weddings, to document one of the milestone days in their lives, and to create beautiful heirloom albums and artwork they can enjoy for a lifetime. Ultimately, that's what it's all about, serving my clients and creating an amazing experience.

Awarded Best of Zola
I discovered Randall Garnick Photography back in Fall 2019 when my husband and I were newly engaged and checking out Elm Bank in Wellesley. While discussing services the venue offered, we happened upon a wedding album on a table in the meeting room. As we were flipping through the photos, I was drawn to how beautifully Randy was able to capture this couple in their element. There’s something truly magical about being able to capture candid moments. With what I previewed, I didn’t need to go online to read reviews for Randy to know that I wanted to book him for our wedding. With his warm and inviting personality, working with Randy was truly a delightful experience. We had our engagement photoshoot at deCordova Sculpture Park and Museum, literally a week before the world shut down during the 2020 pandemic. The museum was already shut down to the public, but the sculpture park remained open. Randy really took his time in finding spots in the park to take our shots. But what I loved most about his style and technique was that he didn’t tell us how to pose, as to not create heavily curated photos. Instead, he simply gave us suggestions or a general direction on what we could do, so we had the freedom to act as we pleased and knew Randy would find that perfect candid moment to capture. Our original wedding date was supposed to be in October 2020 but got postponed to October 2021, and Randy was responsive and accommodating to those changes. When our wedding day finally arrived, Randy and his assistant, Wayne, were on their A-game the entire day. They even catered to our silly request in taking photos of us eating our appetizers. Thanks to Randy and Wayne, our wedding day at Elm Bank lives forever through all the beautiful photos that were captured. I can not recommend him enough. Thank you again, Randy and Wayne!

I seriously can’t put into words how amazing she was and cannot recommend her enough. She was great to have around on our wedding day and I am so happy with our photos. The groomsmen didn't have their act together, even though she provides a detailed schedule, and she was totally chill about it and was like no biggie I'll be back in 30. My fiancé commented on how awesome she was (didn't comment on any other vendors) and one of his groomsmen did too (see first pic). This was before we even saw the pics and they turned out better than I could have imagined. At one point I told her I was done taking pics I wanted to go talked to people and dance, so was a little worried if we got enough shots, but was blown away with the results. I also told her I didn't care that much about getting ready pics but wanted a lot of guest candids and she delivered. She also got way more getting ready pics than I even expected. We didn't want to spend money on a second photographer and she was fine with that and got all the pics we wanted on her own. She truly listened to what we wanted and was incredible at communication and organization. On top of that, she is one of the sweetest people I’ve ever met, and truly a calming presence during all of the chaos on wedding day. I feel sooo lucky we found her.

I’m so thankful to have worked with Dolen photography. They are incredible!! Joe was so nice to work with in the planning phase- he thoroughly explained the process, options, typical timelines, and all that goes with wedding photography! He also took the time to get to know us which was so great, we instantly felt comfortable with him! He had another wedding on our date but enlisted Charles as our lead photographer and Julia as the second. They were incredible! They helped pose us and gave us cues, found so many different spots to take the pictures, and they both had slightly different styles which has worked out so beautifully for my photos!! They were both so nice and enjoyable to work with, we’re so lucky to have had them photograph our wedding. They are true professionals with incredible artistic talent. One last exciting thing- I was promised a sneak peek of 25 photos- I got 75!!! And less than 72 hours later! That was the best surprise and made me, my husband, and our families so happy. We’re so excited to see the full portfolio which will be in only 4-6 weeks! I highly recommend Dolen Photography. Pictures are such an important part of the day and I’m so lucky to have had such important moments captured so beautifully.

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!

Hi, it's Jenni, I am a couples and wedding photographer based in Connecticut. I love hikes and adventures, nature is my natural habitat and my biggest dream is to travel the world. I am hopeless romantic and I will probably shed a tear at every wedding I attend or photograph, so if you see me wipe a tear at your wedding no you didn't lol. I am also a dog mom and I love animals in general, my puppy means the world to me! I am a dedicated, passionate, fun and caring person and I put love in everything I do. I can't wait to work with you!

Working with Jenni was an absolute dream from start to finish. She is the perfect combination of professional, passionate, and fun—and truly a master at her craft. From the moment we connected, I knew she understood exactly the aesthetic I was going for: adorable, classy, and full of warmth. She completely captured the feel I wanted for my wedding day. Throughout the entire journey, Jenni was in constant communication and made me feel so comfortable sharing my thoughts and preferences. She matched my energy right away, and it honestly made my heart warm—I instantly felt I could trust her with my vision, and she delivered in the most beautiful way. On the big day, Jenni was kind, respectful, and incredibly warm with my family and friends. She made me feel so beautiful and confident, and her presence brought such a calming, joyful vibe. And then… the sneak peeks! I audibly gasped when I saw them for the first time—then cried. The photos are exactly what I dreamed of: warm, tender, intimate, and full of love. They captured the heart of our day so perfectly. If you’re looking for someone who will not only give you gorgeous wedding photos but will also make you feel seen, heard, and cared for—Jenni is your person. It was such a pleasure working with her, and I can’t recommend her highly enough!

I had the absolute pleasure of being photographed by Debbie for my bridal shower this year, and she did a phenomenal job. From the moment she arrived, her energy was incredible; she’s fun, funny, and such a joy to be around. She has this rare ability to walk into a room and instantly elevate the vibe, which matters so much during events where emotions are high, and things don’t always go exactly as planned. What truly sets Debbie apart is her ability to deliver a gallery that looks and feels perfect, even when real-life conditions aren’t. In the world of events, something will always deviate from the plan; that’s just the nature of it, but Debbie captures the moments in a way that lets you hold onto only the joy, the beauty, and the fun forever. Her photos don’t just document the day, they preserve the feeling you want to remember. I’ve also had the pleasure of working with Debbie professionally on several intimate weddings and minimonies, with me as the planner/coordinator and her as the photographer. Every time, she delivers a visually stunning gallery while making clients feel completely comfortable being themselves. She will hype you up, make you feel amazing, and create an environment where you feel confident in your own skin, and that confidence translates beautifully in the portraits. No awkward sessions here. If you want someone who is authentic, brings great energy, and makes even stressful moments feel lighter, hire Debbie for your next intimate event. This is truly her zone of genius, and I cannot recommend her enough.
