    Incredible organization, talent, and attitude!

    Faith was recommended to us by some friends, and it was the best advice we ever took! We felt as though we had hired an incredible photographer, and a wedding planner, and made a new friend all at once. She was incredibly thorough every step of the way, and created a detailed and well planned timeline for the entire day. The entire wedding would have been 3c as stressful if not for Faith! She knows all the ins and outs of our Newport Venue, (even right down to the exact minute for sunset photos) and I’m sure she would be just as amazing off the island. Could not have been happier with her as a photographer or as a person. She is young, but experienced, organized, but not bossy. Look no further thank Faith, you will NOT miss a single picture, and the day will run like clockwork!

    Winter Wonderland Weddinf

    Faith was beyond wonderful to work with as our photographer through our wedding process. From our engagement photos to our wedding day and then our photo album, she provided us with high quality work throughout along with exquisite professionalism. She did a great job with deciphering our visualization for our engagement photos and wedding day and creating poses and finding locations to match everything we had spoken about. She took the time to meet with me for hours, whether it be in person or on phone, prior to our photo shoots. I loved the way she edited our photos for they looked high definition quality and color and very natural. Did not appear over edited at all. Faith has a wonderful personality to work with and fit along great with our big Italian family. She has photographed two of my cousins wedding and now mine, so we consider her our family photographer! Highly recommend for your big day!

    Faith is wonderful!

    We booked Faith for our wedding in 2020 and absolutely love her. She did our engagement photos in September and they were so beautiful. Her pictures are bright and fun and romantic.

    Absolutely Incredible Wedding Professional

    Faith was fantastic right from the start. She has a wonderful, warm personality that puts you right at ease. We had a great first meeting and she walked me through every detail of the day, and made some really helpful suggestions. We had a total of three meetings, in-person and on the phone, before my wedding. The day of the wedding she did a great job corralling my family before the ceremony and had inventive ideas for photo locations. She and her assistant, Theresa (also fantastic), were all over our reception capturing every detail. The photos were exquisite and she had them to us within two weeks of our wedding. Faith did an impeccable job capturing the most important day of her life, and I would recommend her to anyone planning their wedding.

    Faith and her husband Jefferson were AMAZING. From the first meeting, I instantly felt a connection with Faith, and my husband and I knew we wanted her to be our photographer. Her portfolio is stunning, and her knowledge of Newport is great! She had photographed at our venue before, which was very important to us. She had great ideas for photos in between the ceremony and reception, as well, and because she knows the area so well she helped us plan our logistics so everything was timed perfectly and smoothly.

    Our pre-wedding meetings and communication was great. I was so much less stressed because I knew my photographs would be in such good hands!

    The way Faith can command a group of people to get together for a photograph is amazing! She kept us on track, and made sure all our requested photos were taken. We also wanted our dogs to come meet us in Newport for photos, and she did a great job photographing two energetic 2 year old pups.

    When we received our USB of photos my husband and I absolutely loved them. Faith and Jefferson are an AMAZING team and I highly recommend them. It’s worth it to spend money on a great photographer, and we are so happy with the photos we will have for years to come. Thank you Faith and Jefferson!!

    I can not begin to say how awesome Faith really is. First of all - her work is absolutely gorgeous. From the first time I contacted Faith, she was extremely responsive and helpful - even when I wasn't asking questions about photography!!! She knows the wedding scene and Newport so well - she was really an invaluable tool for us during our preparation - especially since we were planning from hours away. The first time we saw Faith, she was at the location of our venue shooting another wedding and was highly recommended by the catering manager I was working with. I have recently dove into the field of event photography myself, and have been an avid hobbiest for over 10 years - so I didn't think I would ever be able to make a final decision!!!Once we started doing our research and checking out her website, as well as many others in the area, we fell in love with her documentary and detail orientated style and the decision wasn't nearly as hard as I anticipated. Her prices are amazingly fair compared to her quality of work - We knew we wanted Faith at our wedding!!!
    When we actually got the chance to meet with Faith at her studio - it was totally a done deal. Besides the amazing prints and albums that she had to show us, her personality just clicked perfectly with ours!!! I don't think we ever stopped laughing while we were shooting with her, during our engagement session or on our big day. She really helped us create not only gorgeous images, but wonderful memories to last a lifetime!! We had so much fun at our shoots - we plan on continuing have her document our big life events yet to come. We feel extremely fortunate to have been able to have Faith be a part of our day!!!

    Faith was so professional during the pictures. She was kind and unobtrusive. Her photos (of other weddings) are positively beautiful. Several guests commented how kind she was. She was GREAT!

    Faith was amazing. From the first time I saw her pictures I knew that I wanted to work with her for our wedding. Her artistry and creativity were unmatched by any of the other photographers that we met with or looked at online. I wanted our pictures to be less of the formal and more of the imaginative- and that's exactly what Faith did! Her preparation beforehand in her paperwork and in her meetings with us really gave her a chance to read my husband and I so on the wedding day she knew exactly what we wanted and everything ran more than smooth!! Besides being a extremely talented artist, Faith is also a great person! We couldn't have asked for more from her, and our pictures look like they belong in a magazine! I still can't believe it's us in some of them!! She is wonderful.

    Absolutely Amazing!

    Faith was amazing. My sister hired her 10 years ago for her wedding so I knew I would get great pictures. I forgot how great she is, she was non-stop taking pictures and so helpful getting everyone in the right spots. The final results were amazing, it was a grey windy day and with the family pictures we took outside, we weren’t sure how they were going to come out but they were all amazing. For a couple that aren’t always smiley she managed to get so many candid pictures of us naturally smiling at one another. Even though she was constantly taking pictures it was still incredible at how many pictures she sent to us. I would highly recommend her to anyone for their event.

    The Absolute Best!

    Cannot recommend a better or nicer photographer than Faith Dugan! Faith came highly recommended from friends who had also used her at their wedding. At first meeting, Faith was inquisitive and really got what my husband and I were looking for. At the rehearsal photoshoot, she made us feel comfortable and we honestly had a blast! Faith maintains incredible and communication and is so accommodating. We couldn't be happier with the photos from our wedding! To be honest, my husband and I are both pretty un-photogenic and she caught is at our happiest and loveliest! And, I have to mention, when my bustle kept disconnecting, Faith saved the day with a couple of extra pins. She's the best and completely irreplaceable!!!!

    Professional service and wonderful pictures

    Faith was amazing for our wedding! She came and talked to us before the big day to make sure she knew all that shots we wanted. She was very friendly, patient and professional on the day of the wedding. We loved how our pictures turned out and would definitely recommend her.

    Loved working with Faith!

    Faith is incredible. She photographed my mothers wedding ceremony two years ago and when I got married, she was the first person we booked! Faith is very easy to talk to and immediately understood what we wanted from our ceremony and our photographs. She's a pleasure to work with and it really shows in the pictures, she has an amazing way of putting everyone at ease. Plus, the final photos are amazing! We look forward to working with her again :)

    Where do I begin...Faith is simply AMAZING! She has a way of making you feel so comfortable in front of the camera and is so incredibly thorough and professional with her work. She did our engagement photos which came out so beautiful and shared a sneak peak of our wedding photos and I truly was at a loss for words. I can't wait to see the rest of our images! So happy to have found a lifetime family photographer. Highly recommend!!!

    It is hard to express how amazing it was to work with Faith - she is the best! She is professional, organized, energetic and so talented at what she does. We felt very comfortable behind the camera on our wedding day and the photos turned out better than I could have ever expected! Faith, thank you SO much!

    I cannot say enough positive things about Faith! We had our wedding in Newport, RI (a destination for us coming from NY/CT) and all of the planning that I had to do was done via email or phone calls. Many of the vendors that I worked with treated us like we were just another 'notch' in the wedding belt for them, but not Faith. She made the entire process (from when we first got engaged til this day, almost 3 months after my wedding!) so personal and so special for us. She checked in with me constantly to see how I was doing and if I needed anything, and that's something that meant a lot to me. The day of was a dream, and Faith made it all the more special for us. She was supporting us around the clock and never got in the way of anything - she was by far my favorite vendor we chose. The pictures she took came out INCREDIBLE. Everyone that we know has asked us who our photographer was, and that our pictures look like they should be in a magazine. She is a sweetheart and truly cares about each and every one of her clients. If you are looking to get married in the New England area then Faith is your girl!

    I am over the moon with my wedding pictures! We are so happy with our coverage. Faith accommodated all of my photography requests and paid special attention to my family's photo-needs. She kept us on time and we were able to spend plenty of time with our guests. I never felt in the dark at anytime before or after the wedding. Our pictures will be cherished for a lifetime and we are so thrilled with our experience from start to finish. Highly recommend especially to busy brides from out-of-state. Faith knows her stuff and helped me plan my day. She even answered my numerous non-photography related questions and assisted me in assembling a wonderful vendor team for my day.

    Faith is amazing! She was so on top of it from our very first communication with her.

    We planned our small wedding from the West Coast and were nervous about vendor selections because we weren’t going to be able to meet in person with everyone before the actual wedding. I will say that after talking with Faith via FaceTime we had no worries about not meeting her in person before the wedding. She answered all of our questions and helped us think about things we hadn’t thought of!

    Day of wedding, Faith was everything we wanted! She quickly learned everyone’s names, made everyone feel comfortable and worked at a fast pace to get in all of the fun shots!

    We had a very cold and windy wedding day in July... it wasn’t “the plan” but Faith was quick to come up with great shots and ventured out into the elements with us. She’s adventurous, creative, high energy, and great with family dynamics.

    Faith was amazing and easy to work with. We booked her last minute and it felt like we had been communicating with her for months. During the wedding we barely knew she was there. She captured all the right photos and provided us with lasting memories. We loved her!!

    If your favorite person in the whole world had a baby with your best friend, Faith Dugan would be the result. From day one Faith was over-the-top professional, organized, warm, and excited.

    My husband and I searched for a while trying to find a photographer. Of all the to-do items on our wedding list, finding someone to capture the day was number one. It was important to us that we keep the day light and fun. We wanted few posed pictures but more importantly, to spend as much time with guests and capture those candid moments. Somehow, Faith managed to juggle both with a smile on her face the entire time. She even took the time to ensure that any family must-haves or must-not-haves :) were taken care of while we sat back and enjoyed ourselves.

    I'd also like to mention that I wanted to write a review BEFORE seeing the images (yes, she's that good). However, Faith insisted that I wait to make sure the photos were perfect. After reviewing the pictures, I only have one complaint...there are too many beautiful shots to choose from :) :) :)

    If you're deciding on a photographer for your wedding day, stop the search and call Faith. She's much more than a photographer; she helped me organize my wedding, stay calm, and stay on budget! After marrying my husband, she's the best decision I've made :)

    The minute my wife and I met Faith we knew right away that we wanted her for are wedding. She went above and beyond and did a amazing job. Recently, in a move. We lost are picture CD. I gave Faith a call to see if she had a copy. To find out, Faith had everything on file and sent the pictures to me the same day. I would definitely recommend her for any Photography needs.

    Faith and Jefferson are the best! They will perfectly capture your wedding day in exactly the way that you imagine! They have great energy and are able to effortlessly direct the bride and groom and wedding party, with ease, humor, and professionalism! Our day would not have been complete with out them!

    I can honestly say that Faith and her husband were the reason that our wedding went so perfectly, was so organized, and made my wedding FAR better than I ever expected!! She is 110% organized, professional, and the kindest person you will ever meet. She is extremely talented, creative, and passionate about every single thing that she does.

    She makes the process much more than just taking photos for your wedding, from the initial stages of planning, to spending many sessions reviewing what was important to my husband and I, and Faith getting to know both of us, I felt that she should have been a guest at the wedding by the end of it! She had so many creative, realistic, and beautiful ideas, and I had my complete trust in her in everything that she did. She created a timeline that helped our day run smoothly, without rushing, and making sure that we got every single shot that I had asked for. She was extremely responsive, and sent many encouraging texts and check-ins during the planning process. She goes above and beyond in the presentation of her work, and in everything that she does.

    We got our photos back within 6 weeks, and got waaayyy more than we expected. Each photo is magazine worthy, beautiful in both its color and dynamic. She was able to truly capture the full emotion, feeling, sentiment of the day, and captured many special moments that I would never have seen otherwise. Her attention to detail, professionalism, and organization is one of a kind and I am truly honored to work with her.

    I am beyond pleased with HOW much she truly went above and beyond to make this day so perfect, to truly listen to what was important to us, and in getting to know my husband and I SO well. I do not have enough kind words to say about her, except she will absolutely make your wedding the best day ever! :)

    Faith is extremely talented and passionate about what she does. I could see that in her photographs-- each photo made me swoon and I just knew I had to go with her for my wedding. It turned out to be one of the best decisions I made for the wedding! My husband was also very impressed that I found such an amazing photographer! The pictures that Faith took for our wedding came out absolutely incredible. We had a very long shot list, as well as large family group shots etc. Faith captured everything I wanted and more. She caught many moments of my guests that I missed, and am so happy it was caught on camera. I was worried about not knowing how to pose for the couple portraits, but once we were there, Faith & Jefferson made us feel so comfortable and they just took over telling us exactly what to do. They knew what they were doing because the pictures came out stunning!

    Besides her wonderful talent, she's a lovely person and so sweet. She really goes above and beyond for her brides. I didn't have a wedding planner, so she helped me out with recommending vendors and helping me plan out the timeline for the day. She has so much experience that she will tell you exactly what you need to hear. I didn't realize this when I was planning my wedding, but on the day, you spend a lot of time with your photographer, and I am so glad it was her. Not only did I enjoy her company, she was a very calming presence when things got stressful. My husband, my mom, my sister etc, all of us were so happy with Faith and how the photos came out-- we all agree that they were one of the best vendors we chose for the wedding!
