She made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera and guided us in the right direction to get the most gorgeous photos. After our engagement shoot, I knew she would be so awesome at our wedding and couldn't wait to see the final products. Before our wedding, my now husband kept saying, "Remember, just trust Ashely and do what she says and everything will turn out great." He was of course right and Ashley captured such beautiful photos! We will be using Ashely for all of our family photos in the future!!

Her wedding pics look ahmazing!

In fact, once my husband saw his work, he didn't even want to look at other photographers.

Suchitra takes GORGEOUS photographs. We just got our album, and it is really beautiful. She has…read moresuch an eye for capturing a scene. Suchitra was really professional and accommodating to our crazy fusion wedding (I am Christian and my husband is Hindu--we had both ceremonies). I only have two tiny complaints--one is that she promised to be there the whole day and then ended up leaving before the father-daughter dance. She asked me if this was ok and I felt bad saying no since it had been such a long day, but because of this I have no pictures of my father-daughter dance with my Dad. She was very accommodating all day, though, and would definitely have stayed if I had asked. The other is that somehow, in all the hubub of the day, I didn't end up with any pictures of my maternal grandparents. She took great care to ask my family and my husband's who to photograph, though, so this may have been my sister or other family members not pointing them out clearly. She took great pictures of my other grandparents. Overall, we had an AWESOME experience, and I would highly recommend Suchitra. If you look at her website, the photos speak for themselves. She also did great with our double-fusion wedding.

She was a true pleasure to work with. She volunteered to come to all of our wedding events and really made an effort to get to know our families and friends and take photographs of everyone who is important in our lives. We had two wedding ceremonies and a reception on the same day, and she arrived extremely early in the morning and stayed until the last guest left. Suchitra is extraordinarily patient and very easy to work with. I felt very comfortable with her. The pictures were amazing and she was kind enough to send us multiple CDs with the pictures. She also created an amazing photobook in a very timely manner. Her rates are also very affordable. We were very pleased with her work, all around. Her pictures are gorgeous! I would highly recommend Suchitra for photographing all of the important events of your life.

The reception was unusual in that we did our first dance immediately after the ceremony, followed by the toasts.

Harry was quick with making any requested edits. We love our videos and are so glad that we connected with Harry so we have these memories forever! We would definitely recommend Harry and Kane Films.

Finding a wedding photographer was a tough task in my wedding process. All the photographers whose…read morework I admired were way above my budget. All the reasonably-priced photographers work looked more amateur. Also, many photographers had certain time limits. I was getting frustrated and stressed out until I encountered Marsal Studios on a whim (Facebook ad?). Since they were located in Westbook and my wedding was in Old Saybrook, I figured they were geographically convenient. When I e-mailed owner/photographer Virginia Roberts, she immediately got back to me and had a very pleasant tone. So my then-fiance (now husband) and I ventured south to Westbrook to meet Virginia at Marsal Studios (which she co-owns with her husband, Rick) located in the Water's Edge shops. Immediately, Jason and I were drawn to Virginia's gentle demeanor and sincerity. The photos were stunning and the videos were spectacular! For the price, we got two photographers and unlimited time; which was true value considering that most photography studios charged more for one photographer and less amount of time (6 hours). We were so impressed with Marsal Studios that we booked them on the spot! Our wedding day proved that we made the right decision in selecting Virginia and her team at Marsal Studios; they really were some of the hardest working people in the wedding industry. Virginia arrived at my room at 9 a.m. and worked until 11 p.m., when the reception ended. She was very easy to work with and all of my moms and attendants loved having her there. Tom, her assistant, photographed the guys getting ready. Many of our guests were impressed with the amount of shots they took, including two former photographers. From looking at our photos, I was so happy with the outcome, as were the guests! Looking at my wedding album helps me relive the best day of my life. I highly recommend brides-to-be to look into Marsal Studios. Don't worry; they do not try to upsell you anything and you won't be disappointed.

Cate was great for our wedding! She understood what my spouse and I were talking about when we told…read moreher about being a queer and polyamorous couple, and that our wedding wasn't going to have a lot of the traditional elements (like a ceremony, first look, first dance, wedding attendants, cake-cutting, etc.) - it was a relief to get to describe what we wanted to a vendor who was part of the community and familiar with different kinds of queerness and relationships. She made sure to ask about who in our party was out, and to what degree, just in case a sticky situation arose. Cate managed to capture both formal portraits and nice-looking outtakes from in-between formal portraits; got photos of all our guests, and took a lot of candid photos from the dance floor without us even realizing she was there until we saw the album afterwards. She captured all of the detail shots that we had asked for, and innovated a couple of her own that were much appreciated. Both of us have terrible memories, and rely heavily on photographs to remember even really important events. Cate understood this and did a great job photographing things so that we would be able to remember them without worrying. We paid for six hours of just Cate working, which included time spent on the formal photographs, and resulted in just over 700 photos processed and sent to us far faster than we had expected! I think it took her a month or two less than her estimated timeline. Her rate isn't cheap, but she was absolutely worth it, and we were happy to have her working for us for the day! She's been enthusiastic the whole way through, great at adjusting on the fly, and stellar about following up with us. (This review is for our wedding a year and a half ago - I just found the draft I'd written in 2023 and realized I never posted it anywhere!)

From the moment we reached out to inquire about her availability, Cate has been super responsive and we could tell she was genuinely interested in our story as well as how we wanted to tell that story through photos. The session went as well as I could have imagined - Cate made us feel so comfortable to be ourselves in front of the camera by connecting with us, listening to our wishes and offering so many ways for us to relax, focus on each other and feel pretty. And the final photos! are! gorgeous! The intimate vibe we loved and wanted to capture is there in our photos, but it also feels unique to us and isn't just a replica of Cate's previous work. There isn't a photo in which we faked our smiles - they're all eye-squinting nose-wrinkling happy laughs and giggles and tender moments because we had that much fun during our session. Her edits were beautiful and when I had an additional request, she was very accommodating as well. Now my only regret is that our wedding isn't remotely close to Connecticut so that we could have Cate as our photographer. She's amazing at what she does and if you have a chance to work with her, I'd 100% go for it.
