The approach

We document. We don't direct.

There is a difference between a photographer who poses every shot and one who follows the story. We fall firmly in the second category — letting the day unfold and being ready when the moments come.

That doesn't mean standing back. We know the angles, the light and the timing. We just don't need you to hold a smile for it to work.

Who you'll work with

Photographed by someone you have already met

You will know who is covering your day long before it arrives — how they work, what they will ask of you, and what they will leave alone. No surprises on the morning.

Connecticut weddings, quinceañeras and family sessions since 2018. Still the same answer when someone asks what the plan is: watch closely, stay out of the way, and do not miss anything.

I gave Ant's photography 5 stars because he did so well for my prom photos. I loved how he took his creativity into different shots and angles, to make myself pop off more. The scenery was beautiful in the background and I didn't ever feel uncomfortable or self-conscious about how my photos came out. His personality is the funniest to get to know and has a humble presence anywhere you go.

The pictures came out beautiful. The price is the best price you will find especially for wedding pictures. But just because it is an extremely reasonable price does not mean you are getting shoddy photos. His work is better in my opinion then some I've seen for outrageous amounts. He captures real moments along with some staged pictures.

Anthony has an incredible talent for making everyone feel at ease, which really showed in our family portraits. The photos were natural, vibrant, and perfectly captured our family's personality. It was an enjoyable experience from start to finish, and the final product exceeded our expectations.

Ant's Photography was exactly on time. When he showed up he sent a message and immediately knew when and where to take the pictures. He was extremely professional. He even got a couple of candids that I did not even know he had taken.
