What to expect
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.

Read the package comparison guide. Every collection also includes a premium RSVP page for your guests; see the wedding RSVP page. Want the day on film too? See wedding and event video, with film and photography bundles that save $150 to $500.
No wedding tax
“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
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.
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.
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
Choose the hours around your ceremony, portraits and reception priorities. Confirm whether preparation and later dancing fit inside the agreed start and finish times.
Every selected image is professionally edited and delivered in a private online gallery that is easy to download, share, and revisit.
For larger guest counts or multiple locations, a second photographer helps cover more reactions, angles, and overlapping moments.
We help map portraits, family combinations, and transitions so the photography feels organized without taking over the day.
Questions before or after the day are part of the process. We keep the communication simple so you always know what to expect next.
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
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.

Choosing Ant's Photography for our wedding was the best decision we made. Anthony and his team captured every moment with such detail and emotion. Looking at our photos, we relive our special day over and over again. They were professional, attentive, and truly went above and beyond to make our day unforgettable. Highly recommend!

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
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.
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.
See ceremony, portrait and reception images in the wedding photography archive, then send your date, locations and priorities so we can help you choose a collection.
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.
