    Highly recommend

    We had the absolute best experience with Bryan Avigne as our wedding photographer. Bryan and his wife were truly incredible to work with — so attentive, kind, and easy to be around from the moment they arrived. They made us feel completely comfortable, helped guide us through the day, and captured every moment with such care.

    Their energy, professionalism, and calming presence were exactly what we needed on our wedding day. We are so grateful we chose Bryan and already know the photos are going to be breathtaking based on how much attention he put into every shot. We seriously cannot wait to see the magic he captured!

    We would recommend Bryan to absolutely anyone looking for a photographer who goes above and beyond. He made our day unforgettable.

    Thank you, Bryan — we’re so excited to relive our wedding through your eyes!

    Best photographer in the game!

    I wish I can rate Bryan & Christina 100 stars! They are honestly the best out there! So kind and down to earth & Bryan really knows how to get all the best shots! They are really amazing at what they do, and I can’t wait for another reason to hire them again!

    Fantastic experience and gorgeous photos!

    Bryan and Christina were an excellent team. The photos came out amazing, and they were incredibly communicative, creative, kind, patient and helpful throughout the whole process and wedding day. They helped us cement the memories of the best day of out lives beautifully and the prices were incredibly reasonable. We would work with them again in a heartbeat!

    Awesome people, incredible photos!

    Bryan was incredibly kind and easy to work with! He made my husband and I feel comfortable and at ease throughout our engagement session as well as on our big day! Our photos came out stunning. The lighting and attention to details in Bryan’s work are truly incredible. We can’t thank him and Christina enough for everything they did for us on our wedding day! Their kindness, humor, and patience were so appreciated on what can be a hectic day. We look forward to working with them again in the future!

    wonderful experience

    Christina and Bryan did a great job of giving us a wonderful experience during our engagement and wedding photo shoots. They were flexible when we had to change plans for our engagement photos due to COVID. They did a great job of capturing everyone in photos at our wedding.

    Bryan and Christina make a great pair and bring a great vibe to all photo sessions. Bryan even joined us on the dance floor to show off his moves! They helped us both feel comfortable in front of the camera and provided great direction to return some amazing shots. After two engagement photo sessions, the wedding photos ran so smoothly and we can't wait to see how they come out!

    Amazing experience

    Fun and energetic! Very easy to work with very down to earth. I personally do not like my photo taken and they made me feel very comfortable. All of our Wedding photos came out beautiful. Would absolutely recommend them.

    What can I say about Bryan and Christina? From our first meeting with them, I knew that we were going to work with them. They have been nothing but professional and flexible throughout the rapidly changing pandemic. As someone who doesn’t like her picture being taken, Bryan and Christina made everyone comfortable and relaxed. When we got our photos back, I was amazed at how great they came out-I loved each and every one. I highly recommend them to any bride to be who is looking for a fun, laid back photographer who will give you stunning photos!

    Best team & beautiful photos!

    We loved working with Bryan and Christina for both our engagement shoot and wedding, we could not have asked for a better photographer or better experience! From the first meeting with Bryan and Christina in early 2020 I knew we found the right photographer for our big day. Bryan is quick to respond, very professional and has great ideas to help make your vision come to life. Through the ups and downs of planning and re-planning our wedding due to COVID we are so grateful that Bryan and Christina were able to shoot our wedding at the New Haven Lawn Club, they really helped to make the day run smoothly, providing insight on the timeline, we’re organized and efficient! Overall Bryan and Christina were a great team to work with, we would highly recommend!

    Couldn't be happier!

    When browsing for a photographer my husband and I had no idea how we would be able choose from the HUNDREDS showing up online When we came across Bryan's work we instantly knew he was the one! What caught our eye was his timeless, classic, and elegant editing style. When meeting for our consultation Bryan was personable, professional, and really listened to our requests. Even though COVID messed with our plans he still offered affordable packages to accommodate our small church wedding with a reception down the line (plus we got to use him twice!) The photography was something we never stressed about and we cannot recommend Bryan enough!

    Could Not Have Imagined a Better Wedding Photographer

    My wife and I could not have asked for a better, more competent wedding photographer than Bryan. He and his assistant/wife Christina were a complete pleasure to have at our wedding to capture our special day. Their professionalism and good nature made it such a joy in so many ways! Not only did we receive so many enthusiastic comments from our guests and family about how impressed they were with how nice and efficient Bryan was in taking everyones pictures, but the final results were spectacular and we could not have been more satisfied. My wife and I are forever grateful that we chose Bryan and his team to be our wedding photographer and add to a truly flawless day. Thank you! Thank you!

    Bryan & Christina were amazing!

    Bryan and Christina were amazing! They helped us feel so comfortable and relaxed in front of the camera. We got so many amazing images from both our wedding day and our engagement session, and we look like ourselves (the best version of ourselves!). They even traveled from CT to NYC for our engagement session which we split between our home and in Central Park.

    Professional and Genuinely Good People- Fantastic Results

    I am not from the area so it was tough for me to choose vendors for our wedding without a ton of recommendations. So when I did research I really tried to find a photographer that had the style I was looking for, I wanted the photos to be creative and to look like they were out of a movie. As soon as I found Bryan's website, I had to reach out to him. Upon meeting him and his wife Christina and their awesome rescue dogs, we got such a great first impression and it was really no question that they were it! They were willing to travel to Boston, where my husband and I met, for our engagement photos, and we even had an impromptu dinner afterwards which was an absolute blast. I would have never thought it would all go down like that and it was a pleasant surprise that they genuinely wanted to get to know us and be more than just another one of our vendors. We were bummed that Christina ended up having the flu on our wedding day (poor thing!!) but Bryan came with a fantastic assistant and they both made us feel at ease on our big day. As is with every family and wedding party, we had lots of different personalities and they took it in stride and dealt with everyone both professionally and playfully at the same time which was a relief for me!! Just before Bryan left for the night, he presented us with a beautiful framed photo ALREADY from our wedding. We were obviously not expecting that at all and just stunned by how he made that happen, it made me want to cry! He truly captured moments from our day that made me feel like we were part of a movie. But no, this is real life and you SHOULD feel like this on your wedding day!! Our theme was Grimm's Fairytales (as that's my maiden name) and he was an integral part in making that day a fairy tale for us. THANK YOU BRYAN AND CHRISTINA!!

    (Groom) Best decision we ever made, besides getting married

    Bryan is/was above and beyond everything we could have expected for a wedding photographer. He not only embodied all of the things you look for in a professional, but he and his wife are two of the nicest, warmest, most fun loving people we’ve met. We were thrilled to have been able to find someone as talented as he is, and even more so to welcome them both to celebrate with us. We connected with them in a way that is recognizably rare, and couldn’t be happier to have made such wonderful friends in the process of it all. Personality aside - the photos he took are absolutely amazing, and LITERALLY every person that has seen them is not only in awe of the photos themselves, but a bit green with envy that my wife and I have such incredible memories to keep because of how they were captured.

    TL;DR - You’d be a fool not to book Bryan for your wedding.

    Look no further! I can’t imagine a better wedding photographer. Bryan and his wife Christina were fantastic at every point of the wedding process, and they are truly kind, fun people. We would have wanted to invite them as guests even if they weren’t working the event! It was even enjoyable to meet them initially and talk about options, and Bryan helped us choose a package that made the most sense for us. It felt like we were immediately being welcomed into a family. We did our engagement shoot at Lighthouse Point Park in New Haven on a cold and windy day, with our dog there losing her mind because of seagulls, and somehow it all went smoothly. Bryan and his wife even brought their son, who played with our dog. The photos are beautiful, and Bryan used the wind to get some cool shots. On our wedding day, they really helped us through the whole day. We were nervous and had no idea how to pose for photos, and they helped guide and relax us, making the earlier parts of the day much less stressful. They were really responsive, sensing when we were floundering and needed direction, and also sensing when we were having a nice organic moment, which they hung back and captured. During the reception, they were out on the dancefloor with us getting incredible photos of us and our family and friends. Meanwhile, they were also manning their photo booth set up, which all of our guests loved. We got several comments from guests about how great our photographer was, and they also really made our families feel at ease. As for the photos themselves, they are gorgeous - we could not be happier with them. They made everyone look fantastic, and the shots are amazing from the entire day. They came in less than a month, and Bryan posted some teasers along the way. Everything is done online and very easily, including the contract, payments, and the photos/downloads. Overall, if you can book Bryan for your wedding, we highly recommend that you do! We are thoroughly happy with our choice.

    Hands down Bryan Avigne is the best photographer out there. I cannot say enough good things about him and his wife Christina. From the first time we met Bryan, he made us feel so comfortable and we knew we were in good hands. Our engagement session turned out so amazing. Bryan helped us to feel at ease in front of the camera and it never felt like a photographer, client relationship; it felt more like a friendship. Our wedding pictures truly blew us away; they are all stunning! I don't even know how Bryan managed to get all of these shots; I felt like I barely saw him once the ceremony and reception got going! Bryan's work truly speaks for itself; all of his images are spectacular. We will be using Bryan Avigne for all of our future photography needs and are grateful to have found great people like Bryan & Christina who live so close by! I highly encourage all couples book with Bryan for your wedding day and beyond!

    All I have to say is WOW! First of all, Bryan and his wife Christina are the sweetest people we have ever met! From the moment you meet them, you feel comfortable and know you are in good hands. We had Bryan take our engagement photos and wedding, and we have never received so many compliments! Bryan and his team are professional, talented and are the ONLY ones to choose for your photography needs in our opinion. Our wedding photos are absolutely breathtaking! We have been told they belong in a magazine, and it's all thanks to Bryan! We can't wait to continue to use them in the future.

    We were so happy we chose Bryan for our wedding. Our wedding photos will help us look back on our special day for years to come, so we knew this was an area that we didn't want to skimp on. We chose Bryan because he had done such a great job at our friend's wedding and gave them beautiful photos. He did not let us down! His photos are absolutely beautiful. He takes the time to stage the photos with you and your spouse and with the bridal party so that the background is perfect, lighting is right, and everyone looks good. We were so amazed at how he managed to make the red dresses of my bridesmaids pop out in the pictures. He gave us 100s of pictures of our wedding day - we now have the difficult task of narrowing them down for the ones we want to put in our album.

    Final note, there are many "photographers" out there who claim to be wedding photographers but their photos are terrible (washed out, bad angles, miss key moments). They might be lower in price than Bryan but you get what you pay for.

    My wife and I came across Bryan Avigne's work while searching for a photographer on WeddingWire for our engagement shoot. We were able to schedule our preliminary meeting with ease, and the rest is history. Bryan is the epitome of patient, flexible, professional, dependable, and compassionate. His finished product is absolutely amazing, and we continue to receive compliments from our family and friends. We can't wait to have Bryan photograph our future together, he's certainly "captured" our loyalty to him!

    Bryan was the best investment I made for our wedding! He and his wife welcomed us into their home (where his studio is) so that we could go over all the details and expectations my husband and I had. We opted to do the engagement shoot with his as well to be able to get a sense of each other's style. I knew he was worth every penny when he was laying in the snow in 15 degree weather to get the perfect winter photo! Beside his commitment to make you happy as the couple, he is honest with his opinions on your requests. On the day of the wedding, I gave his complete reign over what pictures and poses to do and his eye for background and setting were on point. Additionally, I had our wedding pictures back after one month! I will definitely use his services in the future!

    Bryan was the first vendor that I wanted to review, because we want everyone to have the wonderful experience we did! Bryan was absolutely wonderful, from the day we contacted him to even after the wedding, he is very prompt in replying to our questions and requests. He was very professional, yet made us feel very comfortable, as if we had known him years! We absolutely loved working with him! I can’t say enough about him and his work, and if you haven’t already, take a look at his amazing website, that was the first thing that drew us to him, and it only got better from there! His portfolio is amazing, and having him there to capture our wedding made it so special! We are so lucky that Bryan was a part of our wedding, and he will certainly be the first photographer we contact for all the special moments in life!! Thank you Bryan!

    Bryan was absolutely wonderful to work with! We had met him and his lovely wife, Christina, at my friend's wedding a few years back. The photos from her wedding were absolutely breathtaking, and I just knew I wanted him to capture our day. Our engagement photos are absolutely wonderful, and we received them in a very reasonable time frame after they were shot. Bryan was very flexible with us to build the right photography package for what we were looking for! On the day of the wedding, he was absolutely wonderful. We told him how we wanted the general flow to be and where we had to be at certain times, and he ran with it from there! The whole morning was SO relaxed under his direction, it really just allowed us to soak in every moment rather than directing everyone. He and Christina are a FABULOUS team! She was so conscious of making sure my dress train was always in the right place and that everything else was perfect. Towards the end of the night, Bryan even reminded me of some "must take" photos I said I wanted but we hadn't gotten a chance to take earlier. I loved that he really listened to that and kept me on point. So many of our guests also told me how nice Bryan and Christina were, which was great to hear! I would absolutely recommend Bryan to anyone!!

    My husband and I cannot say enough great things about Bryan! He is not only an extremely talented photographer, he's wonderful to work with - he has an energy that is contagious, he's passionate, genuine and takes so much pride in his work. After meeting Bryan for the first time we were extremely impressed by his portfolio, the quality of his work and overall professionalism. We had our engagement shoot in 3 feet of snow and a late summer wedding without a cloud in the sky and whether rain, snow or shine, Bryan made the best of it and the pictures are just breathtaking!

    We are so thankful and couldn't be happier with our decision in hiring Bryan! He captures the moment, whats real, the love, emotion and true happiness of the moment - nothing staged - he's creative and offers a wide variety of photos to chose from with different lighting, expressions, poses, scenery and style. We very much look forward to continue our relationship/working with Bryan as the years go by and we reach our future 'photograph-worthy' milestones!

    Bryan was outstanding from day 1 of meeting with him! He was very professional and able to give us advice on all of our needs. We had a save the date photo shoot before having the wedding and were blown away by the photos even with the tough cold wintery conditions. He helped us with printing the save the dates as well as thank you cards. He did a phenomenal job during our wedding event and surprised us with how quickly he got the photos back to us. We couldn't be happier! We will definitely be in touch for future photo shoots. Thanks Bryan!

    Like most couples we did quite a bit of hunting around for a photographer, and what we found was a big difference in price, but also that there was a big difference in quality that went along with the price. For the $2000ish price range we found a few places that would take the photos, and the quality of the images look good, but it was basically no different than if I had a nice camera and took the pictures myself. We came across two photographers that had captured images on their websites that really stood out from the rest. One was from NYC and was $5K+, and Bryan was less than $5K, and for what we wanted to do (for our time and venue locations) was worth every penny. What pulled us into Bryan's photo's was a sense of craftsmanship, and it felt like there was an art to the way he brought the optics of the camera, the scenery and people and objects within it, and the human moment together in a way that made the subjects pop out and connected us to what was happening right then and there. We really like the way he uses depth of field to have very specific parts of the image sharp and in focus, and then allow objects closer and farther away to be blurred. For example, we had our reception at the Lakeview Restaurant in Coventry, and there was a bit of clutter in one of the properties in the background of our shots on the dock, but when the photos came out, all we saw was the best part of the scene. We also did an engagement session with Bryan at Hammonasset beach, and he was able to use the environment and fading sunlight to capture shots that came out really well, and once we saw those pictures, we had no doubt that our wedding pics were going to turn out just as good. During our ceremony and reception Bryan was everywhere, but was able to maneuver his way around the families and guests without disrupting the moment or the experience for anyone else. We highly recommend meeting with him, and have already used him for a second family reception.

    Best wedding decision we made!!!! From the first moment we saw Bryan's website and the originality and creativity of his pictures we knew he had to be our wedding photographer! And from the first time we met Bryan and his wife Christina the decision was made. He was so personal and down to earth yet very professional. They made us feel so special that day and it was so nice to not worry about if we will have nice wedding pictures or what kind of shots should we do because Bryan and Christina figured that all out for us. You will not regret your decision to choose Bryan Avigne Photography as we did not. Looking at our wedding pictures after the big day we were amazed at some of the cool shots he got because we didn't even notice him taking them. Many of our guests commented that our photographer was everywhere yet he was not intrusive. So true! He truly has a knack for taking pictures and we are planning to use Bryan Avigne photography again when we have a baby for some adorable baby shots that he also does.. As I said best wedding decision we made and it will be the best decision you also make. Don't miss out!! Thanks Bryan and Christina for making our wedding day one of the best days of both of our lives!

    Bryan's work truly speaks for itself. He is an AMAZINGLY talented artist. He is able to capture in time the most special moments that you can share with your loved ones forever. Bryan is so professional, calm, cool and collected and knows exactly what he is looking for and is able to make you feel comfortable and at ease the whole entire time. You literally feel like you have known him your whole life! He goes with the flow and honestly felt like family. Many reviewers are exactly right, he responds quickly to questions and emails: he is very helpful when it comes to suggesting other vendors that he has worked with in the past. He is SO knowledgable and an overall awesome human being. It was a pleasure working with him and I would highly recommend his talents to anyone! Thank you, Bryan :)

    My husband and I were a month away from our wedding when something fell through with our original photographer. We came across Brian’s website and reached out to him. We knew it was a long shot because it was last minute and we already had everything planned. However, he was available that day and was able to accommodate all of our needs. He matched our original pricing and contract as close as possible!! What could have been the most stressful time ended up being not bad at all because of Brian! He is very personable and was a pleasure to work with from the first meeting until receiving our pictures. We believe it was fate that brought us to Brian because our wedding pictures are unbelievable! He captured exactly what we envisioned and the day perfectly. We have not stopped receiving compliments on the photos and we will treasure those pictures forever! We highly recommend Brian to anyone & everyone.

    I can truly not express how pleased I was to have Bryan as my wedding photographer. His work really blows you away and he comes up with some pretty cool ideas for pictures. He is incredibly flexible and responds to emails very quickly which was important to me. As if his talent wasn't enough he is also a truly kind person (even lending me his jacket in between pictures on my snowy wedding day) which makes it easy and comfortable to work with him. I couldn't be happier which is why I will definitely be using him for future events!

    Working with Bryan for our engagement and wedding photos was absolutely great!! By far one of the best decisions we made for our wedding was hiring him as our Photographer. Not only was he fun to work with from the first time we met him, but he made everyone involved feel so comfortable. Bryan was very responsive to any questions we had and was willing to meet with us whenever we requested. He captured so many of the special moments throughout our day while still remaining practically unseen. His originality and unique style is seen in several of our photos taken at an abandoned concrete factory. The idea was all Bryan's and we couldn't be happier that we trusted his creativity and took some photos there. We LOVE them!!
    While it's true that photographers can be somewhat pricey, it's worth the extra expense to work with a great photographer and have such amazing photos to look back on and remember the day. We would highly recommend Bryan Avigne to future brides and grooms!!

    Thanks for everything Bryan!!

    Brian is a true professional at every step of the process. Even better, he's personable and easy to work with. The final photos were of the highest quality and were provided within the timeline promised. He was flexible with modifying photo packages to suit our priorities and made the entire process simple and stress-free. During our engagement shoot, there was a massive wrench thrown in the works, but Brian was gracious and positive all the same. We cannot recommend him enough for your wedding photography needs.

Highly recommended! We definitely will use Bryan for future events.

    Like many other people, we met Bryan at one of our friends wedding. He was professional, energetic, and had a great attitude. We took his card and knew he would be one of our top candidates for our upcoming wedding. Once we saw the pictures from that night, we didn't have to look any further for a photographer.

    The most important thing about Bryan is the relaxing atmosphere he creates. You feel comfortable, your smile is not forced, and you won't be posed like a puppet. He understands what it takes to capture people for who they are. He responds well to requests and knows how to make any situation work. He keeps a good pace and doesn't waste time with corny set ups that most wannabe photographers do to try to stand out. Our engagement session was amazing. The pictures were at a winery and came out phenomenal. The compliments on the pictures were endless. On our wedding day, Bryan dealt with an impossible amount of sunshine at a beach and made us look tremendous. The pictures look like they belong in magazines. He has an obvious eye for artistic photography and uses the light and surroundings to compliment who he is photographing. If you are lucky you will have the pleasure of meeting his incredible wife who helps him throughout the day and will bend over backwards to make the day go smoothly. We have to compliment his other photographer Trevor as well, who worked like a ninja and took amazing pictures. Bryan stayed until the very end of our wedding and was still snapping away as if the day had just started. We got our pictures back within weeks of the wedding and we couldn't be happier. He told a story of our wedding day through his pictures. Hiring a photographer like Bryan will pay off and you will NOT be dissatisfied. He is easy to get a hold of, responds quickly, and is very versatile. We would highly recommend Bryan to anyone that wants high quality photos, great service, and a wonderful all around experience.

    Bryan is a genius! I found him after he photographed a friend's wedding who's pictures came out absolutely fabulous. I'm so glad she found him because I have zero complaints! Bryan was easy to get along with and has a great vision. We were having trouble coming up with a location for our engagement shoot but Bryan knew Harkness State Park would provide the perfect backdrop especially on a cold January day! We met up a few hours before the sun went down on a cold, windy, January day and while I'm sure Bryan was colder than we were by the end I absolutely loved the outcome. The wedding photos topped the engagement photos and we are having the hardest time figuring out which ones we would like to print up. Once again we got a cold, windy day but there were no complaints. Things went smoothly and we had plenty of time to get all of the photos we could ever imagine. Every picture is amazing. Family and friends have given us and Bryan so many compliments. His assistant and wife were also amazing and we had a great time. He is amazing and I can't wait to do future shoots with him!

    Bryan did a wonderful job on our photos for our engagement session and wedding, and the final wedding album is just wonderful! The photographs are perfect. We had such a hard time picking out the ones we wanted in our album since there were so many of them that were great! He worked with us on a few touchups on the photos, like how our cake was a little smooshed in a photo and he was able to even it out in Photoshop.

    He is not only an amazing photographer, he's just an all-around nice guy. He was easy to work with during the engagement session and really good during the whole wedding process, making sure we got the shots we wanted and covered the mains events during the wedding.

    I would recommend him to anyone looking for a photographer! He's great!

    My fiancé and I met Bryan near our home one night to look over some photos and get to know him. Other than loving his pictures, we thought he was a great guy and had a great personality....something you want in a vendor that will spend you whole wedding day with you!

    He was very flexible with our schedules and followed us to NYC for our engagement photo session. You wouldn't even know it was raining that day in NYC and that I was a hot mess....he took the most beautiful pictures. Other people told us they wished their engagement pictures had been taken by Bryan.
    We quickly became friends (how could you resist?) and he became so much more than a "wedding vendor"!
    As a surprise to my future husband I had boudoir pictures taken and that was so fun! I was only shy for maybe 4 minutes then he and the makeup artist were a great team, making me laugh and feel comfortable, while taking great pictures...classy and elegant!
    He is so quick and responsive to emails and has pictures faster than any photographer I've heard of! My friends were married last year and used someone else and STILL don't have their album. Bryan is the opposite of that!
    His pictures and work go above and beyond the value of what he charges. Wedding photos are a life time memory...and you get great value with Bryan's work.
    He spends a lot of time making beautiful albums (included in the package we had), and we even had out favorite photo put on a large canvas.

    I may be a little biased but I have yet to find friends wedding photos or engagement photos I like more than ours! Even someone my husband knows...her daughter is getting married and she still likes our engagement picturs more than her daughters.

    The day of the wedding, his team was very professional and he even partnered with a videographer to capture all of the extra memories!

    Bryan Avigne is phenomenal! He is professional, kind, creative, and everything you should ever want in a photographer. My husband and I hired him for our wedding and are so glad we did. The way he captures colors is simply brilliant!

    My husband and I were pretty camera-shy, but at the engagement shoot, Bryan put us at ease and got just the most fantastic photos. We ordered prints through him and the colors are so vibrant!

    On the wedding day, we hired Bryan and his lovely assistant (and wife) Christina, as well as a second shooter. Bryan and his team are all very personable and laid-back. When they came for our getting-ready shots, they jumped right in, had a few laughs with us, and all the while were hard at work getting absolutely beautiful shots. Bryan took beautiful photos that I had no idea were being taken. The ceremony shots and formals are STUNNING. I had an odd number of bridesmaids to groomsmen, but the way Bryan set up the shot you'd never know it. We're just so happy with our photos and our whole experience with Bryan, we highly recommend him.

    Bryan and his wonderful crew were beyond amazing on our very special day. They were so easy to work with and made the entire experience stress free. Every shot we could have ever dreamt of was caught yet we never knew he was there. He is truly talented and clearly loves what he does. I will never use another photographer!

    Bryan is an amazing photographer. I have the most amazing pictures from my wedding that I get to cherish for years to come. He was not afraid to get right in the middle of the party and take pictures of everyone dancing, he didn't throw anyone off by just standing there, he was a part of it all, moving seamlessly from one group to the other. He caught our most candid moments without us realizing it and helped to set up more beautiful pictures. We came from Vermont to get married in CT and he was more then willing to meet with us and discuss our wants/needs and every time we saw him he had a smile on his face and ready to go. He was pure professionalism and his wife was amazing as well. They were both incredibly friendly, welcoming, and supportive. I would definitely recommend to any and everyone. His pictures were gorgeous and he was easy to work with! I cannot say enough good things about him and his wife!

    Working with Brian was amazing from beginning to end. He captured exactly what we were looking for in our wedding photos. There was such creativity in the photos mixed with our personal style. He's professional, easy to work with, and an artist! Everyone cannot stop talking about how great he was.

    "Tornado watch" is not what any bride wants to hear on their wedding day but Bryan was a true professional. His calming presence and skill were really put to the test. I will always remember the group shot we took by the walled garden, dark storm clouds closing in, electricity literally in the air - Bryan laid down on the wet grass to get just the right angle and the results will be a part of our family memories forever.

    Not only was the "art" all there but the logistics were great too. He was very responsive during planning and an online gallery was sent about three weeks after the wedding. We surveyed over 8 photographers in the NYC / CT area and Bryan was truly the full package. I highly recommend him.

    Bryan is incredibly talented and will do whatever it takes to get the best shot and make sure you love your photos. He recently photographed our wedding, and we are in the process of looking through all the pictures he took--there are so many great ones and he didn't miss a thing! We're going to have a tough time narrowing down our favorites. He's also easy to work with and my friends and family commented on how much they liked him. I would definitely recommend Bryan if you're looking for a professional photographer for your wedding or another special occasion.

    Bryan and Christina were absolutely fabulous. I am so happy with the wedding photos. I would recommend them to anyone. They made the day so wonderful. My sister and her husband also used them for their wedding and the photos were amazing. I am so thrilled with everything and think they are the best!!

    My husband and I are thrilled that we chose Bryan Avigne Photography to capture the special memories of our wedding! Bryan was the first photographer we met with and he ended up being the only. After seeing his work and meeting him, we knew he was our guy. Bryan’s work was creative and beautiful, lending to timeless photos that we will cherish forever. He was able to capture all the amazing moments of the day and brought to life the love and joy that was felt. Our family and friends have described the photos as gorgeous and unique and many commented on just how hard Bryan worked to obtain the stunning shots. Not only was the final product wonderful but working with Bryan and his team was easy and enjoyable, like being with old friends. They were all professional and went above and beyond to make sure we were happy. It was truly a pleasure to have Bryan as our photographer!

    Bryan was an absolute joy. He is nice, professional and respectful of what you need/want. He was an amazing photographer and took the most amazing pictures of our wedding. One of the best parts was that he never stayed on the outside, even with the dancing, he found his way in and danced with everyone and took picture at the same time. His wife, who was his assitant was very nice and helpful and they worked great together. Living in Vermont and getting married 5 hours away in CT he made it very easy to get in touch with and was very flexible to our schedule when we were able to make it to CT! Many things went off at our wedding but he was the one constant that nothing went wrong and we were so thankful we found him and had him as our photographer! I would tell everyone to use him, even those in Vermont!!

    I booked Bryan after interviewing three photographers for my wedding. His work really impressed me. He also got the vote from my fiance and mother! From the moment we booked I never had a moment of regret. He was always timely and very responsive to my emails. He was always professional and on top of details. Our package included engagement, wedding and trash the dress. During the engagement we got to know Bryan a little bit better and he made us feel really comfortable. The photos we received were amazing. We loved every single one of them. On our wedding day Bryan was more than just a photographer. He even helped the ring bearer and the junior groomsman with their ties. He was so friendly and upbeat. My whole wedding party loved him! Our wedding pictures were ready in no time and again, we loved every single photo we received. Last but not least, Bryan shot our trash the dress session. It was the most amazing work I have ever seen. His photos are creative and flawless. DO NOT book a photographer without at least meeting Bryan!!!

    My husband I were married in February at the Castle on the Hudson in Tarrytown, New York. I met Bryan and his wife (his assistant) that day and from the start it was such an enjoyable experience. They are incredibly responsive to what you'd like done and very easy to work with - I truly felt like they were part of the wedding party. Aside from that, Bryan has a wonderful artistic eye and it was clear he's passionate about capturing the unique shots of the day. His rates are very reasonable and I love the close attention he and his wife gave to us. I would recommend him for any type of affair and hope to use him again in the future!

    Bryan was the best photographer we could have ever asked for!!! We absolutely loved the pictures that Bryan and his team took on our wedding day. They really captured every moment so great and we barely even knew they were there. We had the most amazing time at our wedding and every picture that Bryan took really showed what an amazing night it was.

    We love Bryan! He was a lot of fun to work with and produced unforgettable pictures for us. From the first day we met with him, we knew he would capture our wedding day just as we imagined! He was quick in responding to any questions we had and was very flexible with our needs and wants. He made me feel so at ease on our wedding day too. We highly recommend Bryan to any couple looking for a fantastic photograoher!

    Bryan is amazing! We met Bryan for the first time at our engagement shoot and knew right away that our pictures would be beautiful. He is professional, responsive, and patient. He loves to try new things and is always looking to capture the most unique pose or setting. He is also an all-around great guy and our entire wedding was raving about him! I highly recommend him.

    Had a wonderful experience! Bryan and Christina are so easy to work with, and added to our wedding day fun! Couldn't have asked for anything more - friendly, professional, great communication via email or phone.

    Our photos came out BEAUTIFUL! - Bryan has a great creative eye!
    Highly recommend!

    Bryan Avigne was the best photographer I could ask for. Not only did he get amazing shots, but he was so creative with the ways he took the pictures! He also was so flexible and always made himself available for any questions I had, and just to talk "wedding talk" with me! He's a great guy, not only professionally, but personally too. You feel comfortable with him after just 1 click of the camera. I would definitely recommend Bryan to do your wedding photography, and your engagement shoot too! It's a nice "get-to-know-you" day, and the photos really capture the excitement of the big day approaching. Oh yeah, and he's never in the way at your ceremony or reception. Some photographers can be really pushy and pull you away to get the pictures. Bryan does it all so effortlessly, half the time I didn't know he was there and actually got nervous thinking he left already!! He just blends right in! Dancing on the dance floor and chatting with the guests. All while he's snapping the camera and capturing everything and more that you want! He's awesome and I just can't say enough good about him, and neither can my husband! :)

    Bryan is an amazing artist, fantastic photographer, reliable and professional vendor, and most importantly, a flexible and easy person to get along with!!

    Not only is Bryan wonderful, but the photographers he works with if you choose to go with multiple photographers, are also wonderful! They were SO helpful, professional, courteous, and really hard-working!!

    I know it can be hard finding one photographer in a sea of many, but stop right here and look no further! Honestly, go to his website, it's amazing and user-friendly, give him a call and you'll be hooked!

    My now huband (yay), was worried about lengthy photography sessions since he hates posing for pictures. Bryan was up for the challenge and we never once felt bogged down with long sessions- Bryan and his crew were always snapping away and the candid shots are the ones I cherish the most!

    ALL of the pictures were amazing and creative! His photojournalistic style, great attitude and personality, professionalism, and his crew made this my BEST hire, by far! He is also an amazing value for the amount of work he does!!

    -Very, very happy!!!

    Great photographer, great to work with and you wont be disappointed with your photos. He got every shot for the entire night. We couldnt have asked for a better experience, especially for two people who dont like having their picture taken. Bryan is a great choice and someone you can really trust!

    After interviewing multiple photographers in the area for what we thought was a reasonable price range, we stumbled upon Bryan's website and realized quickly that there is a huge difference between the average wedding photographer and a professional like Bryan. As the saying goes - you get what you pay for in this case!! After meeting with him at his studio it was clear to us that he's a cut above for many reasons. For starters, he's incredibly knowledgeable in the nuances of photography and he enjoys challenging himself and pushing the envelope to get amazing shots that are unique and far beyond the average wedding scene. Equally as impressive was his professionalism and interpersonal skills, and his ability to make you feel comfortable in front of the camera. Bottom line, he's an impressive person in general, who just so happens to be a talented photographer. Many of our wedding guests had similar feelings and went out of their way to share their positive impressions of Bryan. Lastly, we have already recommended him to others who have agreed with our opinion wholeheartedly and have already booked him for their weddings!

    Bryan was great. We booked him 2 1/2 years ahead of time, after meeting him the first time we knew he was exactly the type of person we wanted around on our wedding day. I first fell in love with his photography on his website. Then we set up a meeting, went to his house and he showed us more of his work.
    We wanted someone who was not going to have us pose for pictures all night. We wanted in the moment photos and that is exactly what we got! Our engagement pictures were first at lighthouse point in New Haven, CT. My fiance and I brought our parents along and Bryan was great with us and them letting them get a few photos of there own while he took the professional pics! By the end of the e-session we were in the water up to our knees just having a great time!
    We are both not big on having our pictures taken but Bryan made us feel comfortable and by the end we had way too many favorite pictures of ourselves!
    Then the wedding! Bryan came to my house right on time and began taking pictures the moment he arrived! He was able to conduct the more "formal" pictures of family well. Leaving us in place while family filed in around us. Once that was done we went in to our reception and Bryan only pulled us away 1 time for pictures outside at night which ended up being our favorite pictures of the night!

    I HIGHLY recommend Bryan for any photography. He is a great person, works hard to get the shots and is willing to do just about anything to make his clients happy.

    He's the best we could have asked for, very flexible and willing to work with us on all angles and issues - he caught so many angle and his work is high quality for the price - his professionalism doesn't stop him from jumping into trees and being creative and energetic, always moving about to get everything without any interference in the experience - simply the best out there!

    Bryan is a true professional and also a great guy! He and his wife Christina welcomed us into their home studio for our initial meeting and it could not have been more comfortable. After seeing Bryan's work from a previous wedding and looking through his gallery online as well as the table books in the studio, we were sold. We knew we weren't just hiring a photographer, but fostering a relationship that would make our photos have that much more of a personal touch. You get what you pay for an so much more with Bryan. We have been absolutely amazed by his work and never once had a second though in using him for our wedding and engagement shoots.

    There is something magical about working with him because he has such an eye that allows for you to have a photo that no one else does. For us, it was a simple as a hay bale trailer during our engagement shoot and a pile of leaves at our wedding. These are memories that we will have for a lifetime and we have Bryan and Christina to thank for it all. We hope that as we and our family grows, that Bryan will be there on our journey with us.

    If we had to do it over again, we would not change one thing! Anyone who is fortunate enough to work with Bryan is signing up for an experience never to be forgotten with pictures to match. Do yourself a favor and do not look anywhere else, Bryan is your guy!

    Bryan was great - very down to earth, easy to talk to, met with us twice before the wedding, and he captured some great photos!!! Bryan was also able to recommend a 2nd photographer, to shoot the groom / groomsmen, while he was with the Bride, and we were very pleased with this recomendation!

    *Brides Beware*
    We had seen Bryan's wedding portfolio online and loved the work we saw in it, however this did not compare to the crap we received. It seemed like our wedding was not important enough for him, or below him in some way and this really showed in his work. About 90% of the under 500 pictures we received, were candid shots. Seems cool in theory until you receive about 450 pictures of friends and family members making weird faces mid sentence. The pictures that were posed were just mediocre. There are about four shots of the mother of the groom with her hair standing straight up in the air from the wind (something about mary syle) which ruined all of those pictures. Bra straps showing in all the prep pictures which were never retouched or cropped, random objects such as purses and water bottles in the shots. As a professional photographer, you would maybe move these objects out of your shot or give us some sort of direction but this was not the case with Bryan. When Bryan emailed the link to our photo gallery, he asked us to let him know what we thought. So we did just that. We expressed how dissatisfied we were with almost every shot and how there were no pictures of the train of my dress, one picture with me and my mom etc. His response was just flat out mean and unprofessional, much like his work. He stated that he "has never had anyone complain about his pictures and that he doesn't have to justify his work". Actually you do, especially when we have spent 4,500 dollars on this. He also stated that "we were perhaps unhappy with our pictures because we were unhappy with our marriage". Thanks, but not the case. We were unhappy with the pictures because you did an awful job.
