What to expect

Wedding photography coverage from the quiet start to the packed dance floor

Your wedding is not just a checklist of moments. It is a full day of movement, emotion, and people you care about being in one place. We document the big milestones, the candid reactions, and the quiet in-between moments that help the day feel complete when you look back on it.

We serve New Britain, Hartford, Avon, and communities across Connecticut. Before the wedding, we help with timeline pacing, family-photo priorities, portrait planning, and the kind of coverage that lets you stay present instead of wondering what is being missed.

No wedding tax

Portraits only or a small elopement? Don’t overpay.

“Wedding tax” is the slang for the markup some vendors add as soon as they hear the word wedding. It isn’t a real tax, and we don’t do it: calling it a wedding doesn’t change what we charge. If you only want portraits of the two of you, or you’re eloping with a few guests, book any portrait session at the same portrait price: $80 for 30 minutes, $125 for 1 hour or $200 for 2 hours. Choose a wedding collection when you want the ceremony, family groups and celebration covered. See how that compares in our guide to elopement photographer prices in Connecticut.

Quick answer

What is included in wedding photography coverage?

Before the wedding

We help you shape a photo timeline, build a family formal list, talk through priorities, and make sure the coverage matches your day instead of forcing your day around the camera.

On the wedding day

You get guided portraits, candid storytelling, and calm coverage from the big events to the quieter reactions that couples often remember most after the day is over.

After the celebration

Your edited gallery is delivered online for easy sharing, and if you want camera confidence before the wedding, an engagement session is a natural next step.

What's included

Coverage planned around your wedding

Storytelling within your coverage window

Choose the hours around your ceremony, portraits and reception priorities. Confirm whether preparation and later dancing fit inside the agreed start and finish times.

Edited online gallery

Every selected image is professionally edited and delivered in a private online gallery that is easy to download, share, and revisit.

Second shooter option

For larger guest counts or multiple locations, a second photographer helps cover more reactions, angles, and overlapping moments.

Timeline and portrait planning

We help map portraits, family combinations, and transitions so the photography feels organized without taking over the day.

Clear communication

Questions before or after the day are part of the process. We keep the communication simple so you always know what to expect next.

Engagement portrait options

If you want to get comfortable in front of the camera before the wedding, an engagement session is a smart way to build confidence.

Behind the scenes

How wedding-day coverage stays calm and organized

You deserve a photographer who can move quickly, stay calm, and still catch the in-between moments that matter most. We guide portraits when needed, coordinate with the timeline, and stay observant enough to catch reactions you cannot plan.

From the moment we met, I knew Ant's Photography was the perfect choice for our wedding. Anthony captured every emotion, every little detail, and all the love in a way that still brings tears to my eyes. Looking at our photos feels like reliving the best day of our lives. The experience was seamless, fun, and truly magical. Thank you for giving us memories that will last forever!

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.

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.

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.

Plan around your day

Which moments need to fit inside your coverage?

Start with fixed times

Write down the ceremony start, reception entrance, speeches, dances and any venue access limits. Then decide whether getting ready and the end of the reception need to be photographed.

Allow for people and travel

Keep a short list of family combinations and choose one person who can gather relatives. Include travel, parking and time to move a group between locations.

Small weddings, courthouse ceremonies and shorter celebrations

A smaller celebration can still need time for the ceremony, family groups, couple portraits and a meal or reception. Our 4-hour Essentials collection is $850 with one photographer and up to 75 edited images. Confirm what fits around travel, access and the ceremony schedule before choosing it.

For a courthouse or city hall setting, check the building’s photography rules and any permission or reservation requirements with the venue. Send the addresses and priority photographs with your inquiry.

Only want portraits of the two of you? For an elopement, or portraits before or after a courthouse ceremony, you can book any portrait session at the same portrait price, with no “wedding tax” markup. Full edited galleries take 3 to 5 business days for shorter coverage and 5 to 7 for full-day coverage.

Wedding FAQs

How does wedding photography coverage work?

Straight answers to the questions couples usually ask before they book.

How much does wedding photography cost in Connecticut?

Wedding collections start at $850 for 4 hours of coverage with up to 75 edited images. The 8-hour collection is $1,700 with up to 200 edited images and a 1-hour engagement session, and the 12-hour collection is $2,800 with two photographers, up to 450 edited images and a 10×10 album. Every collection includes a premium RSVP page for your guests, and the 8-hour and 12-hour collections add a save-the-date designed from the engagement session photos. Travel is included within 30 to 50 miles of New Britain, depending on the collection.

How do you choose a wedding photographer?

Choose someone whose work feels consistent, whose communication is clear, and whose approach fits the pace of your day. You want a photographer who can guide portraits while also staying ready for unplanned moments.

What wedding photography style do you shoot?

Our style is story-driven and natural. We give direction when needed for portraits, then step back so the rest of the day can unfold honestly.

How long does wedding photography coverage last?

Our wedding collections offer 4, 8 or 12 hours. Choose the length around your ceremony, portraits, reception priorities and travel between locations. Coverage does not automatically include every part of the day; we help you decide what fits before you book.

How soon will we receive our edited wedding photos?

Full edited galleries are delivered in 3 to 5 business days after shorter coverage, or 5 to 7 business days after full-day coverage. Ask about sneak peeks when booking; their availability and timing are confirmed separately. Photographs arrive in a private online gallery for downloading and sharing.

Can we plan our wedding photography in Spanish?

Yes. Wedding planning and photography are available in English and Spanish. Ant’s Photography is based in New Britain and serves couples throughout Connecticut.

What should we send with a wedding photography inquiry?

Send your wedding date, ceremony and reception locations, the times you already know, and the moments you most want photographed. We can then check availability and discuss which collection fits your plans.

Can we book photography for a small wedding or courthouse ceremony?

Ask whether The Essentials fits your ceremony, family portraits and celebration. It includes 4 hours, one photographer and up to 75 edited images for $850, with travel within 30 miles of New Britain. Send the ceremony time, guest count, locations and any building photography rules so we can confirm the coverage window before you book.

Do you charge more because it’s a wedding?

No. Calling it a wedding doesn’t change what we charge. If you only want portraits of the two of you or a small elopement, book any portrait session at the same portrait price, starting at $80 for 30 minutes. Choose a wedding collection when you want the ceremony, family groups and celebration covered.
