These artists have consistently impressed me with their talent, professionalism, and ability to make brides feel their absolute best.
Jessie Lynn Makeup creates the most stunning, soft glam looks that truly enhance natural beauty. I recently worked with her during a styled shoot at Gwyn Careg Inn, and her work was flawless. It even went viral on Pinterest! The makeup stayed picture-perfect the entire day. Her style is ideal for brides who want to look timeless yet modern.
Simply Gorgeous By Erin is one of the most popular names in Connecticut bridal beauty — and for good reason! Her work is consistently gorgeous (hence her name), and she has a gift for creating looks that are both polished and effortless. If you’re looking for someone with a reputation for excellence, she’s an amazing choice.
Kylie Jordan Artistry does incredible wedding hair and makeup, but I especially love her work for branding sessions at Niki Estephan Studio. Her artistry shines in both bridal and professional settings, making her a versatile choice. If you want a look that feels fresh and flawless in front of the camera, Kylie is wonderful to work with.
I can personally vouch for Transcendent Studio because I chose them for my own wedding! Their team did a beautiful job, and I loved working with their artists. They listened closely to what I envisioned and brought it to life, making me feel so confident on such an important day.
If you’re having a big bridal party, Larissa Lake & Co. is incredible. When I worked with them last year, they completed hair and makeup for 13 bridesmaids quickly and seamlessly, and every single person looked stunning. Their team is highly professional and efficient, making them perfect for not only smaller weddings but also weddings with larger groups.
Brushed LLC is a wonderful choice for brides looking for a makeup artist who truly understands how to bring out natural beauty. She is skilled at working with a wide variety of skin tones and complexions, ensuring every bride looks flawless in person and in photos. I have worked with her on multiple shoots and she always has a talent for making each look feel personalized and radiant.
Your wedding day is one of the most photographed days of your life. Working with a professional artist ensures your look not only feels beautiful in person but also translates perfectly in photos. These talented Connecticut vendors are some of the best in the industry, and I highly recommend them to my brides.

Some wedding days are memorable for the details, some for the weather, and some for the incredible people surrounding the couple. Jacquie and Thomas’s Anthony’s Ocean View Wedding had all three.

I don’t get to photograph in Litchfield, Connecticut often, but when I do it is absolutely a treat! There’s something especially magical about spring evenings in Connecticut, and Lois and George’s Topsmead State Park engagement photos captured that feeling perfectly. From the soft golden light to the dreamy New England scenery, their session felt straight […]

There’s something undeniably romantic about a rainy wedding day, and Natalie and Tom’s celebration at Hill-Stead Museum was the perfect example of making the most of every moment.

This was my first time photographing a family session at Sherwood Island State Park in Westport, Connecticut, and it definitely won’t be my last!

A Beautiful Evening for Trinity College Grad Photos I absolutely love the excitement of graduation season.

There’s something timeless about springtime in Boston, and Julia and Brandon’s session was the perfect reminder of why I love photographing couples here so much.

When Abby reached out for her grad photos at Quinnipiac Law School, I was SO excited. I don’t often get the chance to do grad school graduation photos, so this was such a special treat. Abby showed up in a stunning long white dress (with a pink suit on deck) and we got right into […]

Miranda and Mitch’s Aldworth Manor wedding was nothing short of perfect. For an April wedding in New England, they truly couldn’t have asked for better weather.

Sydney first reached out just days after getting engaged, and you could feel the excitement in every word of her message.
