We are so happy we hired Mike as our wedding photographer. Our day ended up being rainy and windy but he helped us capture our day. Whenever there was a break in the rain, he gathered us and got everyone outside for pictures. As people who don’t love their pictures being taken he helped us feel comfortable in front of the camera.
All of our guests kept a raving about his professionalism and how he was able to remember all our family members names, which was over 20 people!
We highly recommend hiring Mike to capture your special day!

re process. He was punctual, reliable, and wonderfully reassuring, which made us feel completely at ease on such an important day.
One thing we especially appreciated was how he walked us through each step, making sure we knew exactly what to expect. He also took special care to respect our wishes about doing first-look photos before the ceremony due to daylight savings, and he handled it all flawlessly.
We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer. Thank you, Mike, for helping make our day unforgettable!
Thanks,
Geisa & Nate

I cannot say enough good things about Mike. He was caring, organized, incredibly respectful, and was genuinely kind and fun to be around, which made the whole day feel relaxed and ...
joyful. One of the things that impressed us most was how he took the time to learn people’s names once and remembered them for the entire day. Being able to call out family and friends by name made photos move so smoothly.
As the bride, Mike made my life so easy, made me laugh throughout the day, and made me feel so comfortable. Mike cared deeply about what I wanted and made sure those moments were captured beautifully. On top of all that, we received our photos so quickly, and they are absolutely stunning. Every image reflects the love, laughter, and emotion of the day perfectly. We are beyond grateful we chose Mike and would recommend him without hesitation!

I am personally not the most camera-comfortable person, but Heather made me feel at ease and was very helpful with her guidance on where to stand / how to pose / etc. She made sure that we got to take advantage of all the best photo opportunities, while also being considerate not to intrude or pull us away from guests too much. And I especially loved all the great candid photos that she captured throughout the day, both of me and my husband, and of all of our guests. Heather was a joy to work with, and CT Photo Group was overall very professional and very easy to work with!

This was especially impressive since the sun was blinding all day and I could barely keep my eyes open!

He helped Gabby with everything and captured our wedding. I would absolutely hire CT Photo Group again!

ind CT Photo Group there. We set up a meeting to meet Mike to discuss packages, pricing, etc. Upon leaving that meeting, we both knew that we wanted to work with Mike and team. Included in our package was an engagement session - this was great to work with Mike so we could all get to know each other before the big day. Mike really has an eye for capturing photos - including if it means he needs to lay on the ground to get the photo! Prior to our wedding, Mike and I chatted to discuss some of our must have photos. It was great the day of not needing to worry as I trusted that Mike (and his second photographer Nicole) would get the job done. He made us laugh throughout the day and was very attentive to make sure we were able to get all the photos we wanted. Not only did he capture great photos of us, but made sure that we had some great photos of our guests to remember the day by.

We had a phenomenal experience working with CT Photo Group. We met with many photographers before Mike, but each photographer was lacking in one area or another. Mike and his team ...
checked all of the boxes for us. We really liked the style of his phots and found him to be very personable. We wanted to be sure we would be comfortable with our photographer, and Mike and his team were pleasant to work with.
Our experience with CT Photo Group went beyond our expectations. Mike was great during our initial engagement shoot. We instantly felt comfortable with him and enjoyed the photo shoot at Silver Sands and the Duck Pond. The pictures were beautiful – and it was a great way to get to know Mike!
We were fortunate to work with Mike and Gabby for our wedding day. They went above and beyond throughout the day. Their attention to detail was evident in the photos they took. Over 1,200 of them that utilized the grounds of our venue (The Waterview) perfectly! Narrowing down our favorite photos has been a challenge because we like so many of them. We cannot recommend CT Photo Group more highly! Thank you for an excellent experience, and we look forward to working with you in the future!

They were both great at remembering everyone's names and making everyone feel relaxed and comfortable (especially me and my husband since we never get our photos taken!).

eption at The Candlewood Inn, Mike and Gabby were extremely professional, accommodating, and SO MUCH FUN to work with!! They don't make you feel awkward at all during photos.
When we first met with Mike, we knew we wanted to book with him right away. He is genuine, reasonably priced, and understood our needs for the day of the wedding. He was very responsive the entire journey.
When the big day finally arrived, Mike went with the Groom and Groomsmen, and Gabby came with me and my bridesmaids. We immediately clicked, which made the experience that much better.
At the end of the night, Gabby told me to expect some 'wedding teasers' within 1 week... and 5 days later, we received an email with the teasers while on our honeymoon! We were absolutely blown away with the quality and quantity of photos we actually got! *Shout out to Gabby for all the veil shots*
100% RECOMMEND!!!

Mike and Gabby were amazing to work with. They're incredibly talented, fun to be around and help strike a perfect balance between taking control and moving everything along if you ...
want them to or just letting you set the pace and dictate everything on your special day. You're going to spend a LOT of time with your photographers, especially if you do a first look so you really want them to be easy-going, fun people and they absolutely are.
Most importantly though, the photos are fantastic. They're really great at what they do and we ended up with about 900 incredible photos. They also delivered a small handful of some of the best photos within a day or two of the wedding which was great. Don't even hesitate to book these guys. There's a reason that every review on here is great. Hire them right now and give yourself one less thing to worry about. They're the best.

I can't recommend either enough. our teaser photos came in (again, super quickly) and I teared up because of how beautiful they were. the way they both captured our big day is more than I could have wished for:)
