Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can a wedding photojournalist create artistic portraits on my Connecticut wedding day?
A: While wedding photojournalists strive to capture candid moments on the wedding day, our photographers also are skilled artists who can compose powerful portraits. If you have a specific vision of what types of images you want from your wedding day, look at the top-ranked Connecticut wedding photographers who have earned Artistic Guild awards for portrait and detail images.
Q: How can couples find reviews of Connecticut wedding photographers?
A: We call them Client Letters. At the WPJA, we decided more than 20 years ago to avoid incorporating those third-person testimonials and endorsements that are found all too often in advertisements. Instead, we elevated our listings with the use of Client Letters, which represent the actual words and feelings of the clients who booked those Connecticut wedding photographers for their own wedding.
Q: How can couples find top-ranked Connecticut wedding photographers?
A: The WPJA created the original wedding photographer ranking systems. Our innovative system is based on contest winning points, meaning that the Connecticut photographers you see at the top of your search results page have recently won the most — and the most recent — contest awards. Our contests judge photographers based on their creativity, style, composure, and ability to capture the heart of any couple's story on their wedding day.
Getting Married in Connecticut - Planning for the Best Wedding Photography
Connecticut, along the Long Island Sound, offers many scenic locations for the Connecticut bride and groom to choose from for their ceremony and reception photography needs. The restored whaling village and living museum in Mystic Seaport provide quaint New England style backdrops for your Connecticut photos. Your photographer will have opportunities to capture images in New England historic villages surrounded by beautiful buildings. If your Connecticut nuptials fall during the months of September and October, foliage season aids in creating colorful picture backdrops. Your special day can only be complemented by Connecticut's parks and forests which offer something for everyone...wedding guests or members of your party may enjoy a walk on one of the many CT hiking trails or they may enjoy a day at the beach. Whether you choose a Connecticut beach ceremony, New England style, or a fall foliage wedding, your CT wedding photojournalist is sure to enjoy shooting photos amidst the beautiful backdrop of your Connecticut event location.

Hi Edward, You are great to work with. You captured really amazing moments throughout the wedding, and one of the best qualities of your work was your ability to use natural light to make everything look romantic and outstandingly beautiful. You always responded promptly to all emails and arrived early to the wedding; overall, very reliable, reasonable, and extremely talented!
