About

A black Connecticut wedding photographer, purveyor of the artistically-engineered photography experience. That's a crafty way of saying, I'm a computer nerd who's pretty good at photography and believes in great service! Digital image gallery, print rights, and beautiful, physical prints included with every package.

My work focuses on telling my couples’ wedding day love stories through the pictures I capture. Artwork is the goal, whether it’s a highly-stylized posed photo or a moment where a loved one is emoting.

Your wedding should be enjoyable. That’s from having fun with your attendants while getting ready, to looking into the eyes of your partner during the ceremony, too dancing the night away. My feeling is, capturing those moments artistically as they unfold is truly…an art. I always joke that I pretend that I’m a ninja on wedding days.

Couple’s portraits are important, too! I truly love these moments and approaching them by giving you promoted direction. One of my goals is to make sure that the photos I provide are aesthetically pleasing and will stand the test of time. Another one is to make things easy.

Fall Foliage, Gillette Castle, Gorgeous Photography

From the very first interaction, Terrence took on more than the role of a photographer. With years of experience, Terrence offers attention to detail to curate lasting moments. Throughout working together, Terrence reached out more than any other vendor to get to know us as a couple, and to provide suggestions that assisted with our planning. He was detailed, prompt, organized, results-oriented, and flexible. Terrence created a comfortable environment that allowed us to forget a camera was there, while maintaining direction to capture gorgeous photos. On both our engagement shoot and wedding day's Terrence was game for anything, and flexible to any last minute changes or additions. I had met Terrence as a bridesmaid in a friends wedding and took notice how calm he was on what can be a hectic day. I kept him in mind knowing that approach allows for privacy in one of the most intimate moments of life, while still getting amazing memories on film. My husband and I could not be any happier with choosing Terrence to be a part of our day. Photos are what you walk away with, and my husband and I could not be happier with our photo memories. I will be singing Terrence Irving's praises to anyone who will listen!

Amazing, Above and Beyond Photographer!

I would definitely recommend Terrence to anyone in need of a wedding photographer! Our wedding was 10/6/23 and Terrence did an amazing job capturing the fall feels! Terrence is very organized and consistently keeps you updated with helpful tips and timelines to ensure you are on the right track! He goes above and beyond to ensure he knows exactly what you want/are looking for and was able to capture all the important photos! Terrence spends extra time to create a wedding day timeline, text/calls to check in and help in any way, and calm the stress/nerves that come on the wedding day. He was always offering to help in any additional way to ensure our day ran smoothly. Terrence has a great style to his photos and creates art not just pictures. We were so happy we chose Terrence as our wedding photographer and highly recommend to anyone searching!

without hesitation, better than we could have ever hoped for

if we could give 100 stars we would, no question!
First, Terrence is an exceptional photographer. His style is unparalleled. we've only seen our sneak peaks so far but every single one has been utterly remarkable. Terrence handled the nuance of our atypical day with grace and ease, which is no small feat when getting married on a sailboat on a particularly windy day. Working with Terrence was effortless. from our first meeting, he put us at ease with his energy, which continued through every interaction we have had with him since including on our wedding day itself. Because we felt so at ease, Terrence was able to capture my spouse and i at our most comfortable, and as such, at our best. And because of his intimate knowledge of the area, he was able to help us navigate some of the minutiae of planning without any hesitation, as well as making sure the logistics of our wedding day would go off without a hitch.

Honestly, truly, one of the best experiences we could have hoped for. We've already had so many friends and colleagues talk about how gorgeous and unique our pictures are. we're floored by our experience with terrence as well as the photos he took of us.
if he's available for your date, BOOK HIM without hesitation.

Creative Professional Organized and Friendly

Terrence did an incredible job at our wedding! His style is great. He was very creative. We had a unique venue and Terrence was able to come up with all kinds of photo ideas. Our photos were perfect. Terrence was friendly and easy to work with. He gave us a schedule that helped us plan our whole day. He stayed in contact regularly a year before our wedding right through to the day of. He gave us some of the best photos immediately after the wedding so we wouldn’t have to wait until they were all processed. If you like his style of photography I highly recommend booking with him. You’ll be happy you did!

Book Terrence now -- don't wait!

To say we were impressed by Terrence and his team would be an understatement. They were professional but SO fun. We had a great time the entire day with them — which is a big deal. My fiancé is not super comfortable in front of the camera but after the engagement shoot (part of our package!), he knew what to expect and was much more relaxed around the camera on our wedding day. Terrence had sneak peek photos in our inbox by MONDAY morning, barely 36 hours later. Not to mention, he pulled some true wizardry and had a projector setup the evening of our wedding for a night-of sneak peek. It was an unforgettable moment and our guests loved getting to see some of his work as well. His second shooter was a delight and meshed really well with our quirky wedding party. And his assistant helped keep us organized during our large number of family portraits before the ceremony. Terrence also created our entire day-of timeline and sent it to us pretty far in advance of our wedding date. This truly helped cut down on some the anxiety I had been feeling about where to be and when. He met with us virtually a handful of times throughout the planning process to see where we were, offer suggestions and guidance, and he was always just an email or all away. He was super responsive and actually connected with us more often than we reached out to him. It was great to have someone making sure we were okay along the way! I also love how diverse Terrence’s social media is — I saw brides of all sizes on his socials which isn’t always true of wedding photographers. I appreciate how widely he shares photos and videos of his clients throughout their engagement and wedding. He even posts happy anniversary wishes for couples he’s shot for in the past. We cannot wait to see the rest of our photos in the coming months and to hopefully work with Terrence again soon!

Amazing Photographer Who Listens

One of the best decisions I made was to hire Terrence Irving Photography! Terrence is incredible as a photographer and as a human. He asks all the right questions and really tries to get to know you as a couple. Terrence understood that I didn't want a lot of formal photography - I really wanted candids. He took just the right of formal photography of the family and gave me the incredible candids that I wanted. I have so many unforgettable memories of the wedding that Terrence captured. Every time I would think that Terrence should be taking a photo of a moment, I would turn and he was already on it. It seemed as though he was everywhere, yet he was amazingly inobtrusive! The quality of the photography was incredible. Terrence has a unique vision and the lighting in his photos is what initially drew me to his photos. All of my guests were wowed by the photos, and Terrence captured each and every one of them in a special photo. Hire Terrence Irving Photography - it will be one of the best decisions you will make for your wedding.

Thoroughly Happy Wedding Couple

Choosing the right wedding photographer for our very small wedding was extremely important to us. I feel immeasurably lucky to have found Terrence. From the minute we had our first consult, we knew Terrence was the right photographer for us. Not only did we love his style, but we loved that we instantly felt comfortable and at ease (super important for an introverted bride). Our engagement shoot was amazing and on wedding day, Terrence was more than we could have asked for. He was professional, helped us stay on schedule, and continued to capture every moment along the way. Our wedding guests loved him and spoke so highly of their experience with him. We received sneak peeks quickly and would have been happy with just those photos!! When we received our full portfolio, we were blown away. You just cannot put a price tag on the memories Terrence so expertly captured for us. Words cannot express how appreciative we are to Terrence; he truly has a gift and we are so fortune that we were lucky enough for him to share it with us. A year later, we still consider Terrence to be a friend and would recommend him to anyone looking for a versatile photographer.

A great photographer for great value

We are so happy with our photos from Terrence Irving Photography! He set up and took some really special shots for us that we love. He was also really fun to work with. He had great techniques for making his subjects feel comfortable in front of the camera and he gave clear instruction. Not only does Terrence provide beautiful photos of your special day, he also helps with the planning and organizing of all the photography needs for the event beforehand. He’s communicable, friendly, patient, and clear. You’ll be in good hands with Terrence!

Outstanding

The first thing that stands out is Terrence's professionalism. From there you'll find he captures your day just how you want it, but does it in a way that he's a part of the day, nothing forced

Fantastic Wedding Photographer

We recently used Terrence for our October wedding and could not be happier! From our first meeting, he was extremely helpful and responsive. His website has a great wedding planning tool that truly helped my husband and I throughout the process. He worked with us to make sure our vision for our engagement photos came to life, incorporating fun and laughs into the process. We are so happy with the quality of the photos from our big day and our family and friends have not stopped talking about how much they all love the pictures as well! Our bridal party was high energy and Terrence matched the energy they brought to produce some unique shots that we all have been loving looking back on. Neither my husband or myself are particularly comfortable in front of the camera but Terrence made the entire process stress free and natural. We are so grateful for everything he did for us and for our wedding and our so happy to have such beautiful pictures as memories for years to come.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
