Hands down Paul is worth every penny. He went above and beyond for the whole wedding

It’s hard to put into words just how wonderful of a photographer Paul is. My Husband and I found Paul researching online and upon speaking with him during our first meeting, we immediately knew we wanted him to photograph our wedding. Paul’s work speaks for itself and shows how much care and dedication he puts into every detail.

When we received our wedding photos, it was nearly impossible to choose favorites because every moment was captured so beautifully by Paul and his team. Even the videos that he included of the day were just perfect! He made this entire process so easy and relaxed we didn’t have to worry about a thing.

If you are looking for a wedding photographer for your wedding, I highly recommend you seriously consider Paul to fill that role. I can promise you you will not regret it and will not be disappointed! Thank you, thank you, thank you Paul for capturing our wedding day so perfectly!

Not only did Paul shoot our wedding day but we ended up doing our engagement session with him as well. We loved having this “trial run” for what to expect on our wedding day. It was a quick little snapshot of how Paul photographs and it gets all of that awkwardness out of the way. It solidified the old friend feeling yet again in our experience. And let me tell you that the photos that day continue to be some of our favorite photos together. I have always had my dog as my phone’s lock screen, until I replaced it with a photo Paul took at that engagement session (soon to be replaced with a wedding photo that Paul also captured). We ended that engagement shoot with excitement that our wedding day photos would be truly magical.

We met with Paul three weeks before our wedding, to discuss the plan for the day. Paul broke down our timeline for the day and made us feel less stressed about the big day. Now fast forward to our wedding day and the universe decided that rain was needed for the day. Paul, Amanda (his assistant) and Becky (2nd photographer that Paul had recommended) had shown up to our venue a little earlier than required to get set up and start pivoting the new rain plan. When I had shown up to the venue with my bridesmaids, Paul admittedly asked me if I was comfortable in the rain and I told him that’s why I brought some clear umbrellas. Paul captured all of the bridal prep while Becky focused on the groom’s prep. The first look photos came out amazing and it felt like it was just me and my husband in the room. We got all of the formal photos done before the ceremony and that was like clock work (all thanks to Paul’s planning). The ceremony and reception photos came out like the candid photos we envisioned, with Paul even laying down on the ground to get the perfect shots. It should also be mentioned that Amanda had even got video snippets from the day, including bridal prep, behind the scene videos of formal photos and even the ceremony. And then it came time for the night photos. Let me tell you when I saw the night time photos, my husband and I’s jaws dropped. The rain had really started pouring during those shots and it made the photos feel like a rainy fairytale. Paul and his team turned the rain into one of my favorite memories of the night.

Then it was time for Paul to leave. My husband and I were saying goodbye to an old friend and we were only hoping that we would cross paths with Paul in the future. We were the first wedding in a 4 wedding weekend for Paul, so we assumed that our friend needed some time to get our sneak peaks back to us. Instead, we were shocked to receive our 30 sneak peak photos from the wedding that night at 2:30 am. And then 2 months after our wedding, we received our final photos and couldn’t be more thrilled. It should be mentioned that when Paul mails out his photos, he sends along a little sticky note as well to the couple, a real personal touch to who Paul is as a photographer and person.

Our friends and family have seen our photos and they continue to say that they came out beautiful and perfect. We couldn’t be more grateful to have Paul as our photographer for our day. And if my words can’t convince you, Paul’s photos surely will!

Paul was an amazing photographer. He made us feel so comfortable when we interviewed him over Zoom that we booked him immediately. He actually suggested a smaller package than we were originally considering, as we had a smallish wedding, which we appreciated. He met with us again a few weeks before the wedding to go over logistics, and he was extremely thorough and professional.

Paul was not fazed by last minute hiccups and problematic guests, which are common at weddings. Interacting with Paul was comfortable and fun, which is great because you spend a ton of time with the photographer at your wedding.

We appreciated how the photos were delivered: divided into categories and chronological. It has made it easy to pick out favorites to share with our families. We can't wait to turn the photos into albums.

Obviously, every wedding involves finding and hiring many people to help make your dream day a reality. We feel that finding Paul (we were referred to him from close friends who got married a few months before us) was our best "find," and we highly recommend him to future couples looking for an amazing wedding photographer.

We recall looking endlessly for a photographer across many platforms, speaking with a few different photographers.. nothing seemed to click. Then one day I came across Paul's website and my gut screamed YES!
In meeting with Paul on Zoom, I immediately felt comfortable. He explained everything authentically with a little bit of humor, and a whole lot of passion. You could see the dedication in every photo he presented; we knew we found the right guy.
On our wedding day, he was prompt, he was clear in every instruction he gave, and he was there for every candid moment that mattered. He made the entire process so easy and so fun that it felt like working with a friend.
To anyone still searching for a photographer, I have something simple to say; he just really gets it and you can't make a better choice. Paul, we can't thank you enough for capturing every moment of our wedding so seamlessly :)

As we were planning our wedding day the most important thing to me besides my dress was a good photographer. Why?
Because I wanted those memories for the rest of my life in my wedding gown to be amazing, beautiful and unforgettable.

I took my bridesmaids to a wedding expo at the Providence Convention Center and there he was standing Paul Spetrini. We looked through his work after browsing around. I was just blown away by his beautiful photos on display. I took his business card and immediately gave him a call to book him for our wedding. We got married this year.

Paul's professional manner walked us through all he has to offer at such a reasonable price.
Our pictures came out absolutely perfect!!!
Me and my husband were "wowing" at every photo we looked at. If you are looking for an amazing, talented, professional and great sense of humor in a photographer Paul Spetrini is your guy. You will not be disappointed.

My husband and I had chose Paul as our photography after researching many people. Not only was it the right choice but he exceeded our expectations. Paul was super organized and helped us make the perfect game plan. He was very professional and made us feel very comfortable guiding us along the entire time. Everyone that joined our wedding commented how awesome he was and would also recommend him to anyone in search for the perfect photographer. We 10/10 highly recommend Paul J Spetrini!!

Brides to be, just use Paul as your wedding photographer. You will not regret it. There are no words to genuinely describe how happy I am with the whole experience.

I didn't know any photographers when I got engaged in 2024. I went to all the websites and Paul stuck out to me immediately. I knew he was going to be my wedding photographer before I even reached out for an initial chat. Not only budget friendly, but I liked all the information on his website including how open he was about his schedule. Transparency is key and Paul nailed it.

What I appreciate most before the wedding was our final conversation. Creating a timeline was something I dreaded and never formally wrote it down before that call. Paul kept things track and it was a huge relief to not do it by myself.

I never had any doubts or concerns. Everything went well. Paul is timely, communicates well, down to earth and friendly (someone I would totally be friends with!), but also very professional. He knows his stuff and is someone you can trust for your wedding.

Wedding planning is a lot of work. What do we want-A photographer?! Yes, you want Paul J. Spetrini as your photographer. Why? Because he goes out of his way to understand you and what you want for the wedding day. He will make sure you are receiving the best packages of photos and align times with your schedule. Paul will arrive at the venue on time. At the wedding expo, he displayed previous photos from weddings. These photos showed he captures every moment, and every moment he captures, tells your story. Are you camera shy? Perfect, he’s the right guy. When he takes photos of your night, you forget he’s even there.
On the wedding day, Paul was incredibly supportive—always reminding us to take a breath. He helped us with small details like placing the rings just right for photos and keeping everything on schedule. Most importantly, he consistently reminded us to pause and truly enjoy our wedding day.
He arrived early to start photos for the bridal party, and everything was beautifully organized in the order the photos were taken. I especially loved the unique shots of myself (the bride) looking into the mirror—those moments felt so personal and artistic. We also had a second photographer assisting with photos, videos, and preparations, which helped things run smoothly.
The wedding party and family portraits went by quickly and efficiently. Both Paul and his second shooter made sure we looked our best before each shot. One of my favorite moments was when we suggested we walk down a nearby path we had been unsure about before the wedding. We decided to go for it, and it ended up being the perfect spot—shaded with beautiful rays of sunlight peeking through. Paul said later that they were the most difficult shots of the year and after we received the photos, they were hands down my husband and I’s favorites. The photos we took there felt intimate and truly captured us as a couple, away from the hustle of the venue. Safe to say in the photography profession….Paul can conquer all challenges.
After the formal photos, Paul was everywhere—running around capturing candid moments. One standout memory was after we cut the cake: Jeremiah and I each grabbed a piece and fed each other a bite, and Paul quickly slid plates toward us and said, “Take a piece now before they serve it to everyone.” It’s thoughtful gestures like that which make Paul so amazing—he’s always looking out for you and making sure you soak in every part of your day.
The day after the wedding, Paul sent us sneak peeks—and they were absolutely stunning. He had mentioned it would take about six weeks to receive the full gallery, as he had a lot of editing to do. Once everything was ready, he emailed us with an update and let us know the USB with all our photos was on its way.
When we received it, we were blown away. Every photo was beautifully organized into folders, and included not just pictures but amazing videos of the dancing, toasts, bridal entrance, and more. It was such a special experience to sit with family and relive the day together—it truly felt like we were there all over again.
Paul also creates a personalized blog post for each wedding and shares it on his website. It features a curated collection of photos from the entire day, offering another beautiful way he preserves the magic of the moment. The blog also gives a glimpse into Paul’s creative process and how he approached capturing our special day. My husband still scrolls through the blog post on his downtime and admires Pauls’ work of our wedding day
Paul goes above and beyond to ensure your wedding photos are nothing short of amazing. He didn’t hesitate to lie on the ground for the perfect shot or dash around during our last dance to capture every moment. If you're looking for a fun, skilled, and professional photographer who delivers incredible results without breaking the bank, don’t search any further once you see his name.

One of the most important parts of having a Wedding is being able to cherish the memories for years to come, and we were so fortunate to have Paul at our wedding to capture it.

Our wedding pictures are amazing, and we have Paul to thank for that. Every type and style of photo Paul shot exceeded our expectations from the “This pose feels weird, but the photos will look great!” to the formal photos, and artistic shots when he’d exclaim “This is the shot!” and find the perfect framing and position. We absolutely love the end result and from the ceremony and the formal photos to the personal moments and the many great candid shots from our reception.

Not only are the pictures amazing, but Paul was wonderful to work with. Having someone who is calm, organized and “been here before” was a huge help in reducing the stress of the Wedding day. This even included discussions of the schedule to ensure we included enough time with Paul and his assistant to get every one of the pictures we wanted. Making a plan also ensured that Paul’s team was able to get all of the specific pictures that we requested in time, as well as making sure we didn’t miss anyone for the formal family photos. The specific pose direction from Paul helped make them look great.

Before we even called to set up a consultation we found his website to be an excellent resource. The FAQ on Paul’s website did a great job of explaining everything about his business and process, including the exact cost of packages and his availability. This was a huge help and let us know the kind of service we’d be getting even before we booked our consultation.

One of the specific reasons we picked Paul was his ongoing experience as a photojournalist, who when he isn’t photographing weddings is catching the action from the sports field, giving him excellent practice at catching just the right moment. This experience is certainly reflected both in his gear and his skills. Paul was on time with all of the gear that he needed to make everything happen, including his own lighting and Nikon camera. It's amazing how much difference the right lighting for every photo made - you can really see the difference when we compare them to the casual pictures taken by our guests.

His skillset was immediately apparent the day of the wedding, he was able to just know and find the right angle and style to capture moments as they happened. That means all of the pictures of our reception, dances, toasts, and party were well framed, had great lighting, and were captured perfectly.

We really appreciate him bringing everything out through a muddy park to create some amazing pictures!
