About

Welcome to Capture Photography where we shoot funky weddings, fabulous people and we love us some furry four legged creatures. Mary Beth is a travel junkie, weekly blogger and a culinary idiot. She has a french bulldog who attends all important meetings with her. Get in contact today and meet your new best friends for life- MB and Pixel.

So here are a few things about me that may interest you: I have a dog named Pixel that I carry around in a baby bjorn while I bike on my beach cruiser on main street in Essex. Yes, I’m that girl. I’ve been to 21 countries and lived in 3. I have met Bill Clinton, Prince Charles, and Julia Stiles. I can be won over by items that are pink, glittery, or have melted cheese on them. I once had to have my pants blessed at a wedding in order to photograph it. My hair color is my “thang”, it’s usually some awesome shade of the rainbow. I have two nieces that are the loves of my life. I was the school mascot in middle school and my dream one day is to write a book about this amazing job I have. Also appointments during shark week are few and far between. Priorities, people.

We chose to use Mary Beth as our photographer after meeting her at a bridal show. She was super friendly, confident and laid back, which made it really easy to connect with her. My now husband and I can feel awkward a lot of times taking photos, but our engagement session was super laid back and Mary Beth made it really comfortable. She was always responsive to any questions we had and we are so grateful for her making our day so perfect. She was very directive at the wedding, which is exactly what I needed that day, but never intrusive. All my guests talked about how they didn't even notice a photographer around. We opted to have a second photographer. Mary Beth's choice was just as amazing and we loved them both! They captured every single moment possible and got every little detail, as I said before, without even being noticed. The pictures are absolutely beautiful (fresh snow may have helped and we are happy they made it in the storm safely to photograph it all!). We would not change a thing about the day. The best part was the Reveal Party Mary Beth does after. Instead of just sending us the photos, she came over to our house and gave us a slide show with some of the best photos of the night. We had our families over and she read a questionnaire that she had asked both of us ahead of time. It was such a nice way to round out the end of the wedding festivities. Also, we got the photos back within a week of our wedding, which was amazing. I would recommend Mary Beth to anyone. She was absolutely fantastic and you can't go wrong.

BEST photographer in Connecticut!!!!!
My names Amanda and it's been 5 years since Capture photographed my wedding day and Marybeth has become a life long friend. After she photographed my sister in laws wedding this fall 2016 I expressed how unfortunate it was we spent money for her capturing the most important day of our life...and now those memories sat in a desk drawer.
The following week MaryBeth sat on my couch and showcased a few of our favorite wedding day photos to music. All the feelings came back, it seemed like yesterday we had tied the knot. Following the video MaryBeth assesed my stairwell. She custom designed (based on the budget I gave her) what photo collage would look best for the space. I picked my favorite photos and a week later the canvas photos where at my door. There are zero words to describe how happy I am with the products quality/clarity and the service Marybeth provided. The smile and happiness as I walk up and down the stairs daily are priceless.
Thank you Marybeth, from the bottom of my heart. I don't think you truly know how amazing you are at what you do.
Did I mention MaryBeth photographed my wedding FIVE YEARS AGO?!Best photographer ever. Hands down.
If you haven't booked Capture yet you better call before your wedding date is booked!!!!

Mary Beth was the most professional, amazing, coolest human being we have ever worked with. We could have not had a better photographer. She got to know us personally, and out that emotion in to the photos. She was able to capture every smile and tear. The photos were many, and beautiful quality. We were able to take the photos and make them in to collages for our whole family for Christmas. Every person that was at the wedding was involved in a shot by Mary Beth. Our love was documented not just in our vows, and our rings, but in our photos! Thanks Capture Photography, thanks Mary Beth!

I met MaryBeth at a bridal show at Mohegan Sun. She had great energy and came across more as a person rather than a saleswoman. She has a special gift of making genuine connections with people and puts forth a conscientious effort to get to know the bride and groom in order to ensure their personalities come through in the photos. I received my photos via a weblink as well as a CD in a timely fashion after the wedding with the option of a viewing party with family and friends. My photos were absolutely amazing. MaryBeth captured moments of our special day that I didn't know ever had happened. Her attention to detail was exquisite. I highly recommend MaryBeth of Capture Photography as you will not be disappointed in the quality of service and expertise.

Hiring Mary Beth to capture our wedding was one of the best decisions we made. We knew as soon as we met her that she would be amazing to work with, as she was so easy to get along with. We bonded over our love of our dogs, and then saw she had shot at our wedding venue before. We started with an engagement shoot which I thought would have been awkward and forced. Mary Beth has an amazing eye for shots, and made us feel at ease. The whole time we were able to act as ourselves and not worry about being in stiff poses. The day of the wedding, Mary Beth came with her assistant Melissa (who is just an amazing human being). She came in and immediately got down to business capturing our day. We have huge families and the two of them were able to keep the picture process moving while ensuring everyone was where they needed to be. It rained on our wedding day and Mary Beth took some of our favorite pictures out in the rain. The whole day was amazing, and it's been incredible to relive it through her photographs. I could not recommend a photographer any more!

We aren’t sure where to begin when it comes to RAVING about our KICKASS photographer, Mary Beth, owner of Capture Photography. From the moment I met her at a bridal show, I knew she would “capture” (pun intended) our wedding exactly how we wanted! My husband and I are not very formal people and we wanted a casual but awesome wedding and wanted to remember it that way! We knew we wanted someone who would not only take “formal” pictures of our family, bridal party and us but would be able to put our love, happiness and excitement into photos and she did exactly that. I knew once we had our engagement session (and she not only let us bring our 2yr. old chocolate lab to the shoot but incorporated him beautifully into the pictures) that Mary Beth was one-of-a-kind!

There were a few “special” pictures I had wanted taken during the wedding and Mary Beth was so accommodating and excited about some ideas we had! We also had a photo booth at the wedding and I cannot tell you how excited we were to see the pictures! Some of the quietest guests were dressed up, laughing and having an awesome time! Even at the end of the night when they were packing it up, we got the whole bridal party over there to take more pictures and she was more than happy to take a few final shots! There were some pretty special, heartwarming and downright funny moments throughout the day and I would not have trusted anyone else to put those moments into photos. We HIGHLY recommend Mary Beth at Capture Photography!!

Marybeth was able to "capture" our wedding day exactly how we had pictured it. She works with the upmost professionalism and gets photos that you didn't think we're possible. She's absolutely wonderful to have there on your special day. The quality of her photos is outstanding. We recommend capture photography to anyone who wants brilliant and fabulous photos. Thank you so much Marybeth!!!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

Great Rates, Service and Personable. Her artistic talent shows in every shot. I'm proud to have her as my photographer, not just for weddings, but my own business shots. I trust her eyes, mind, and ability to bring out the best in each and every moment of my wedding, other weddings and events. There is a truly a good feeling I get seeing a photographer smile behind their camera, you dont see it often and I see it all the time with Capture. I'm proud to work with anyone within the staff and often see these great people outside of wedding scene producing beautiful work in other artistic and creative ways. Being comfortable around your wedding vendors is vastly important, and I could not see a better fit than Mary Beth and her team at Capture CT
