Welcome! My name is Terrence (he/him).

And I’m a black CT wedding photographer based along the southeastern shoreline.

(But I also travel; destination weddings are welcomed!)

I’m a Connecticut wedding photographer.

If you’re planning something special and want the photography to match, then you’re in the right place.

Here’s some simple math that I’ve figured out through experience:

The Technical + The Emotional = Great Wedding Photography

A groom and bride pose together while obscured partially by a bank vault door in Hartford, Connecticut on their wedding day.

For the longest time, I wondered how I could blend together two things that I love:

Technology and Art

By the same token, I dreamt of having my own business, providing a service that’s actually useful to others.

During their Connecticut wedding, the bride and groom reach their hands into the blue sky as nautical flags flap in the distance.

Then in 2017, the lightbulb went on and my wedding photography business was born in Ledyard, Connecticut (near Mystic, one of the best little towns in New England).

My goal is simple: to be the best Connecticut wedding photographer I can be.

It’s about connecting with my couples on a human level, becoming an asset to their wedding journey.

Then, when it’s all said and done, I deliver timeless artwork (including physical prints).

I’m here to help you with your own love narrative.

The proof is in the way I make my couples feel about their stories!

Telling your love story through photos

I get to know you first. In other words, you talk, I listen and observe. Because what good is trying to tell your story if I don’t bother to learn about it in the first place?

A New England guy through and through, I just love the northeast. I’ve photographed weddings in locations ranging from barns to Newport docks.

To help ensure success on your wedding day, I make it a point to be there with you long before.

I guess you could say that I’m a Connecticut wedding photographer who’s more than just a picture-taker.

This is because your wedding day is about more than just pictures.

Why should you choose me? Here’s what some of the couples I’ve worked with have to say about their experience:

“He captured every single moment so perfectly”

Terrence is an incredibly talented and professional photographer, he made my fiancée and I so comfortable during our engagement shoot and we had a ton of fun. On the big day Terrence seemed like he was in ten places at once, he captured every single moment so perfectly, we could not be happier!

“Terrence’s work speaks for itself”

We can’t recommend Terrence highly enough! He did such an amazing job from start to finish! He came all the way to Brooklyn to meet us for our engagement shoot and had a great vibe right away…If you’re lucky enough to have him available for your wedding date book him ASAP and thank us later!

“If we could give 100 stars we would”

Working with Terrence was effortless. from our first meeting, he put us at ease with his energy, which continued through every interaction we have had with him since including on our wedding day itself…We’ve already had so many friends and colleagues talk about how gorgeous and unique our pictures are…BOOK HIM without hesitation.

Engagement sessions are important

Let me tell you why you need an engagement session. For one, they’re fun. Two, they’re great practice for your wedding day. Three, you get more great photos of the yourselves.

Best of all, they help you connect with your wedding photographer. This is why I include an engagement session with every wedding photography booking.

Start the Conversation

Curious? Here are some frequently asked questions:

I grew up here, in Vernon. I eventually settled down along the shoreline, along with my wife and daughter. The venues, parks, and restaurants in our state are just awesome, everywhere from Hartford to New Haven to Mystic. Additionally, our state is so close to other northeast spots like Newport, New York City, and Boston. Being a wedding photographer here is so exciting.

Absolutely, I love destination weddings. So far, I’ve photographed weddings and engagement sessions in New England (western Massachusetts to Newport), New York (Brooklyn is awesome), and New Jersey (the jewel of the tri-state area).

By inquiring with a wedding photographer who can help you plan your wedding timeline. I offer all of my couples this service. Eight hours of continuous coverage is “average,” though some only need six while others really need all-day coverage to fully cover they’re interested in documenting.

After a wedding, I upload digital images to a secure, online gallery. Believing in the power of physical artwork, however, I include prints in all of my wedding photography packages (they’re nothing like what you’d get at Costco). Looking into it, you’ll find that I’m one of very few wedding photographers in Connecticut with this structure.

One of the reasons to love this state is because it has four true seasons. Naturally, there’s a wedding venue for every couple, year round. A quick tidbit: my wife and I got married in the middle of winter at Inn at Mystic, then I photographed a spring wedding there about six months later. Point is, from New Haven to Thompson, CT has venue options for everyone.

Just head over to my contact page, leave me your email address and answer a few other questions, then I’ll be in touch. Usually, you’ll get an email or text from me the very same day. It doesn’t matter where you’re getting married: New England, the east coast, a tropical island…let’s start out by talking about it.

That’s OK, same here. This is what almost every couple I work with says. The fact of the matter is that it’s my job to make you feel comfortable. I’m really good at it, too. Look around at the photos; they’re proof that my “posing” style works! I promise you’ll have a great experience.
