Bryan Avigne Photography

nd I both felt like we were shooting with an old friend. And our comfort definitely translated to our photos. I plan to make Bryan our forever photographer as we now have a baby on the way that he is sure to photograph. More importantly though, Bryan and Christina are our forever friends. They share a beautiful love and a beautiful passion for their craft. Christina was an excellent assistant to me on the big day. She was constantly fixing my train and making sure our lighting was just right. I know I can speak for both Michael and myself when I affirm that Bryan Avigne photography is nothing but the best. We could not be happier with our choice. Thanks Bryan and Christina!

her photographers, I must say that Bryan Avigne, by far, was the most professional, creative, and considerate photographer compared to his peers. He captured every moment with incredible photographs that we cherish and treasure. Because of Bryan, we get to relive our son and daughters amazing wedding, which unfortunately seemed to fly by in the blink of an eye, each time we look at the photos. THANK YOU BRYAN FOR A LIFETIME OF MEMORIES...YOU DESERVE ALL OF THE STARS THE SKY CAN HOLD!!!

n if they weren’t working the event! It was even enjoyable to meet them initially and talk about options, and Bryan helped us choose a package that made the most sense for us. It felt like we were immediately being welcomed into a family. We did our engagement shoot at Lighthouse Point Park in New Haven on a cold and windy day, with our dog there losing her mind because of seagulls, and somehow it all went smoothly. Bryan and his wife even brought their son, who played with our dog. The photos are beautiful, and Bryan used the wind to get some cool shots. On our wedding day, they really helped us through the whole day. We were nervous and had no idea how to pose for photos, and they helped guide and relax us, making the earlier parts of the day much less stressful. They were really responsive, sensing when we were floundering and needed direction, and also sensing when we were having a nice organic moment, which they hung back and captured. During the reception, they were out on the dancefloor with us getting incredible photos of us and our family and friends. Meanwhile, they were also manning their photo booth set up, which all of our guests loved. We got several comments from guests about how great our photographer was, and they also really made our families feel at ease. As for the photos themselves, they are gorgeous - we could not be happier with them. They made everyone look fantastic, and the shots are just amazing from the entire day. They came in less than a month, and Bryan posted some teasers along the way. Everything is done online and very easily, including the contract, payments, and the photos/downloads. Overall, if you can book Bryan for your wedding, we highly recommend that you do! We are thoroughly happy with our choice.

And they are! We were originally getting married in Stratford, CT and then about 10 months before the wedding, changed to a destination wedding in the Grand Canyon. Bryan and Christina without hesitation went through great lengths to ensure they were able to come with us for our special day. They became family through this process and went completely above and beyond all expectations that we had for our wedding weekend. Christina was by my side throughout the majority of our wedding day, ensuring my dress was fluffed and I was ready to go! They are so fun and ensure that you're relaxed and just enjoying every moment. We would recommend them to absolutely anyone. They are caring, attentive to detail, funny, a great team and SO talented!!

sion turned out so amazing. Bryan helped us to feel at ease in front of a camera and it never felt like a photographer, client relationship; it felt more like a friendship. Our wedding pictures truly blew us away; they are all stunning! I don't even know how Bryan managed to get all of these shots; I felt like I barely saw him once the ceremony and reception got going! Bryan's work truly speaks for itself; all of his images are spectacular. We will be using Bryan Avigne for all of our future photography needs and are grateful to have found great people like Bryan & Christina who live so close by! I highly encourage all couples book with Bryan for your wedding day and beyond!

e time. He was so great to work with and organized and easy-going! He and his assistant were truly wonderful and we cannot thank them enough for everything they did for us on our wedding day-- HIGHLY recommend!!

are natural without being staged and were enjoyable to take. ( no stress in this photo shoot) Bryan and Christina are a strong team and compliment each other. Their love and appreciation for weddings , made our day feel extra special. We received over 700 photos from our wedding and 100 from our engagement shoot, I will be printing all of them.

t of an emergency come up the day of the wedding, and Bryan was so flexible which helped us to remain calm. I can not say enough to praise Bryan and his work and I highly recommend him!

ng, and we have never received so many compliments! Bryan and his team are professional, talented and are the ONLY ones to choose for your photography needs in our opinion. Our wedding photos are absolutely breathtaking! We have been told they belong in a magazine, and it's all thanks to Bryan! We can't wait to continue to use them in the future.

istant were amazing and always one step ahead which made a huge difference on my wedding day as we were battling some rain. For a shy couple he made us feel so comfortable and just what I have seen already of his photos I am so unbelievable excited to see more because they are beyond beautiful!

us and made us feel like his only clients. Bryan made the whole process stress-free and was able to capture our wedding day perfectly. We love how our pictures turned out and look forward to having Bryan capture our special milestones in the future!

ors. Bryan is so down the earth and easy to talk with right after meeting him. Our engagement session was a blast and made us so excited for our Wedding day. Bryan, Christina and our second shooter Anthony were awesome on our Wedding day. They made sure we got all the shots needed and just had fun with us and our Family & Bridal Party. Once we got our photos back, which wasn't long at all, we were again impressed at the amount of photos and the quality. Bryan's style is unique but also keeps things in mind the classic shots. We recommended Bryan first through working together and now with our personal experience it continues.

g and after the wedding about how amazing he was. He didn't miss a single detail. He beautifully captured every moment of the best day of our lives. He made even the most camera shy people feel at ease. His efficiency allowed us to enjoy so much of our wedding that we never thought we would make it to. After receiving the final photos, we were even more impressed by Bryan. His choice of backgrounds was limited due to our location, and the spots he chose seemed unusual for wedding photos, but they are simply extraordinary. He turned a dingy brick building into a stunning backdrop. Bryan was worth every penny and I would highly recommend him to any couple looking to capture timeless photos of your wedding.

t our friend's wedding and gave them beautiful photos. He did not let us down! His photos are absolutely beautiful. He takes the time to stage the photos with you and your spouse and with the bridal party so that the background is perfect, lighting is right, and everyone looks good. We were so amazed at how he managed to make the red dresses of my bridesmaids pop out in the pictures. He gave us 100s of pictures of our wedding day - we now have the difficult task of narrowing them down for the ones we want to put in our album. Final note, there are many "photographers" out there who claim to be wedding photographers but their photos are terrible (washed out, bad angles, miss key moments). They might be lower in price than Bryan but you get what you pay for.

questions and requests. He was very professional, yet made us feel very comfortable, as if we had known him years! We absolutely loved working with him! I can’t say enough about him and his work, and if you haven’t already, take a look at his amazing website, that was the first thing that drew us to him, and it only got better from there! His portfolio is amazing, and having him there to capture our wedding made it so special! We are so lucky that Bryan was a part of our wedding, and he will certainly be the first photographer we contact for all the special moments in life!! Thank you Bryan!

engagement photos are absolutely wonderful, and we received them in a very reasonable time frame after they were shot. Bryan was very flexible with us to build the right photography package for what we were looking for! On the day of the wedding, he was absolutely wonderful. We told him how we wanted the general flow to be and where we had to be at certain times, and he ran with it from there! The whole morning was SO relaxed under his direction, it really just allowed us to soak in every moment rather than directing everyone. He and Christina are a FABULOUS team! She was so conscious of making sure my dress train was always in the right place and that everything else was perfect. Towards the end of the night, Bryan even reminded me of some "must take" photos I said I wanted but we hadn't gotten a chance to take earlier. I loved that he really listened to that and kept me on point. So many of our guests also told me how nice Bryan and Christina were, which was great to hear! I would absolutely recommend Bryan to anyone!!

er meeting Bryan for the first time we were extremely impressed by his portfolio, the quality of his work and overall professionalism. We had our engagement shoot in 3 feet of snow and a late summer wedding without a cloud in the sky and whether rain, snow or shine, Bryan made the best of it and the pictures are just breathtaking! We are so thankful and couldn't be happier with our decision in hiring Bryan! He captures the moment, whats real, the love, emotion and true happiness of the moment - nothing staged - he's creative and offers a wide variety of photos to chose from with different lighting, expressions, poses, scenery and style. We very much look forward to continue our relationship/working with Bryan as the years go by and we reach our future 'photograph-worthy' milestones!

ld wintery conditions. He helped us with printing the save the dates as well as thank you cards. He did a phenomenal job during our wedding event and surprised us with how quickly he got the photos back to us. We couldn't be happier! We will definitely be in touch for future photo shoots. Thanks Bryan!

decision was made. He was so personal and down to earth yet very professional. They made us feel so special that day and it was so nice to not worry about if we will have nice wedding pictures or what kind of shots should we do because Bryan and Christina figured that all out for us. You will not regret your decision to choose Bryan Avigne Photography as we did not. Looking at our wedding pictures after the big day we were amazed at some of the cool shots he got because we didn't even notice him taking them. Many of our guests commented that our photographer was everywhere yet he was not intrusive. So true! He truly has a knack for taking pictures and we are planning to use Bryan Avigne photography again when we have a baby for some adorable baby shots that he also does.. As I said best wedding decision we made and it will be the best decision you also make. Don't miss out!! Thanks Bryan and Christina for making our wedding day one of the best days of both of our lives!

but Bryan did a great job breaking the ice during the engagement session that by the time the wedding rolled around, we felt very comfortable. He was very discrete during the wedding ceremony and got some amazing shots. He really captured the day. Many guests commented on his professionalism. I honestly have nothing negative to say, the entire experience working with Bryan was fantastic! I highly recommend him!!

actly what he is looking for and is able to make you feel comfortable and at ease the whole entire time. You literally feel like you have known him your whole life! He goes with the flow and honestly felt like family. Many reviewers are exactly right, he responds quickly to questions and emails: he is very helpful when it comes to suggesting other vendors that he has worked with in the past. He is SO knowledgable and an overall awesome human being. It was a pleasure working with him and I would highly recommend his talents to anyone! Thank you, Bryan :)

someone to energize you, to calm you, or to make you laugh. He included an engagement photo shoot in his package, which we were not planning to seek out, but it turned out meeting him in advance was a great idea. We felt so comfortable with him after an hour-long photo shoot of just the two of us that by the time the wedding day came, it was no big deal to take photos in front of dozens of other people. I experienced (typical) wedding day jitters, and seeing Bryan walk into the venue immediately made me feel at peace. He is incredible at his job. Book ASAP!

important to me. As if his talent wasn't enough he is also a truly kind person (even lending me his jacket in between pictures on my snowy wedding day) which makes it easy and comfortable to work with him. I couldn't be happier which is why I will definitely be using him for future events!

ional like Bryan. As the saying goes - you get what you pay for in this case!! After meeting with him at his studio it was clear to us that he's a cut above for many reasons. For starters, he's incredibly knowledgeable in the nuances of photography and he enjoys challenging himself and pushing the envelope to get amazing shots that are unique and far beyond the average wedding scene. Equally as impressive was his professionalism and interpersonal skills, and his ability to make you feel comfortable in front of the camera. Bottom line, he's an impressive person in general, who just so happens to be a talented photographer. Many of our wedding guests had similar feelings and went out of their way to share their positive impressions of Bryan. Lastly, we have already recommended him to others who have agreed with our opinion wholeheartedly and have already booked him for their weddings!

hrough his gallery online as well as the table books in the studio, we were sold. We knew we weren't just hiring a photographer, but fostering a relationship that would make our photos have that much more of a personal touch. You get what you pay for an so much more with Bryan. We have been absolutely amazed by his work and never once had a second though in using him for our wedding and engagement shoots. There is something magical about working with him because he has such an eye that allows for you to have a photo that no one else does. For us, it was a simple as a hay bale trailer during our engagement shoot and a pile of leaves at our wedding. These are memories that we will have for a lifetime and we have Bryan and Christina to thank for it all. We hope that as we and our family grows, that Bryan will be there on our journey with us. If we had to do it over again, we would not change one thing! Anyone who is fortunate enough to work with Bryan is signing up for an experience never to be forgotten with pictures to match. Do yourself a favor and do not look anywhere else, Bryan is your guy!

ng trouble coming up with a location for our engagement shoot but Bryan knew Harkness State Park would provide the perfect backdrop especially on a cold January day! We met up a few hours before the sun went down on a cold, windy, January day and while I'm sure Bryan was colder than we were by the end I absolutely loved the outcome. The wedding photos topped the engagement photos and we are having the hardest time figuring out which ones we would like to print up. Once again we got a cold, windy day but there were no complaints. Things went smoothly and we had plenty of time to get all of the photos we could ever imagine. Every picture is amazing. Family and friends have given us and Bryan so many compliments. His assistant and wife were also amazing and we had a great time. He is amazing and I can't wait to do future shoots with him!

o many of them that were great! He worked with us on a few touchups on the photos, like how our cake was a little smooshed in a photo and he was able to even it out in Photoshop. He is not only an amazing photographer, he's just an all-around nice guy. He was easy to work with during the engagement session and really good during the whole wedding process, making sure we got the shots we wanted and covered the mains events during the wedding. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a photographer! He's great!

e wedding day with you! He was very flexible with our schedules and followed us to NYC for our engagement photo session. You wouldn't even know it was raining that day in NYC and that I was a hot mess....he took the most beautiful pictures. Other people told us they wished their engagement pictures had been taken by Bryan. We quickly became friends (how could you resist?) and he became so much more than a "wedding vendor"! As a surprise to my future husband I had boudoir pictures taken and that was so fun! I was only shy for maybe 4 minutes then he and the makeup artist were a great team, making me laugh and feel comfortable, while taking great pictures...classy and elegant! He is so quick and responsive to emails and has pictures faster than any photographer I've heard of! My friends were married last year and used someone else and STILL don't have their album. Bryan is the opposite of that! His pictures and work go above and beyond the value of what he charges. Wedding photos are a life time memory...and you get great value with Bryan's work. He spends a lot of time making beautiful albums (included in the package we had), and we even had out favorite photo put on a large canvas. I may be a little biased but I have yet to find friends wedding photos or engagement photos I like more than ours! Even someone my husband knows...her daughter is getting married and she still likes our engagement picturs more than her daughters. The day of the wedding, his team was very professional and he even partnered with a videographer to capture all of the extra memories!

s really showed in his work. About 90% of the under 500 pictures we received, were candid shots. Seems cool in theory until you receive about 450 pictures of friends and family members making weird faces mid sentence. The pictures that were posed were just mediocre. There are about four shots of the mother of the groom with her hair standing straight up in the air from the wind (something about mary syle) which ruined all of those pictures. Bra straps showing in all the prep pictures which were never retouched or cropped, random objects such as purses and water bottles in the shots. As a professional photographer, you would maybe move these objects out of your shot or give us some sort of direction but this was not the case with Bryan. When Bryan emailed the link to our photo gallery, he asked us to let him know what we thought. So we did just that. We expressed how dissatisfied we were with almost every shot and how there were no pictures of the train of my dress, one picture with me and my mom etc. His response was just flat out mean and unprofessional, much like his work. He stated that he "has never had anyone complain about his pictures and that he doesn't have to justify his work". Actually you do, especially when we have spent 4,500 dollars on this. He also stated that "we were perhaps unhappy with our pictures because we were unhappy with our marriage". Thanks, but not the case. We were unhappy with the pictures because you did an awful job. As a so called business professional all we were asking him to do was to make the situation right. Perhaps to retouch some of the pictures that are unusable or give us some type of reimbursement, but he was adamant that no reimbursement would be given and that he does not have to defend his work. Please do not spend your hard earned money on this man, I beg you. He will only disappoint you.

e. He was always there to lend a hand and he really took very good care of us. When looking for a photographer, I wanted to make sure that they would not be obtrusive during the ceremony. Bryan and his second shooter, Gus, got beautiful shots of the whole ceremony from all angles and I never knew they were there. I'm especially happy with the formal shots. We had an odd number of groomsmen and bridesmaids and he staged the photos perfectly. After the sunset, Bryan took the most beautiful shots of my husband and I under the full moon and stars: truly phenomenal! He really captured the day perfectly. We purchased prints and albums through Bryan and they are truly excellent quality. The colors are so vibrant and they were a really big hit with my friends and family. I have so many favorite photos from our engagement shoot and wedding day, as well as many fond memories. I'm so glad we hired Bryan Avigne and his team. I highly recommend him for any event.

home, prior to the wedding which helped make me feel very comfortable with him on our wedding day!

rm clouds closing in, electricity literally in the air - Bryan laid down on the wet grass to get just the right angle and the results will be a part of our family memories forever. Not only was the "art" all there but the logistics were great too. He was very responsive during planning and an online gallery was sent about three weeks after the wedding. We surveyed over 8 photographers in the NYC / CT area and Bryan was truly the full package. I highly recommend him.

nal, enthusiastic and genuine. We booked him 2 1/2 years ahead of time, after meeting him the first time we knew he was exactly the type of person we wanted around on our wedding day. I first fell in love with his photography on his website. Then we set up a meeting, went to his house and he showed us more of his work. We wanted someone who was not going to have us pose for pictures all night. We wanted in the moment photos and that is exactly what we got! Our engagement pictures were first at lighthouse point in New Haven, CT. My fiance and I brought our parents along and Bryan was great with us and them letting them get a few photos of there own while he took the professional pics! By the end of the e-session we were in the water up to our knees just having a great time! We are both not big on having our pictures taken but Bryan made us feel comfortable and by the end we had way too many favorite pictures of ourselves! Then the wedding! Bryan came to my house right on time and began taking pictures the moment he arrived! He was able to conduct the more "formal" pictures of family well. Leaving us in place while family filed in around us. Once that was done we went in to our reception and Bryan only pulled us away 1 time for pictures outside at night which ended up being our favorite pictures of the night! I HIGHLY recommend Bryan for any photography. He is a great person, works hard to get the shots and is willing to do just about anything to make his clients happy.

great ones and he didn't miss a thing! We're going to have a tough time narrowing down our favorites. He's also easy to work with and my friends and family commented on how much they liked him. I would definitely recommend Bryan if you're looking for a professional photographer for your wedding or another special occasion.

was our guy. Bryan’s work was creative and beautiful, lending to timeless photos that we will cherish forever. He was able to capture all the amazing moments of the day and brought to life the love and joy that was felt. Our family and friends have described the photos as gorgeous and unique and many commented on just how hard Bryan worked to obtain the stunning shots. Not only was the final product wonderful but working with Bryan and his team was easy and enjoyable, like being with old friends. They were all professional and went above and beyond to make sure we were happy. It was truly a pleasure to have Bryan as our photographer!

ourse talented! From the moment we met him he was very responsive to any questions we had and quick to respond I might add. He has shot our engagement pictures, wedding pictures and our trash the dress session. He made each session so much fun and I have to say he even helped the ring bearer and junior groomsman with their ties. It has been a pleasure working with Bryan. I can't thank him enough for the work he has done. We have been more than thrilled with the quality of his work and the amount of pictures he gave us. Don't choose a photographer without interviewing Bryan. He is worth it!

ike done and very easy to work with - I truly felt like they were part of the wedding party. Aside from that, Bryan has a wonderful artistic eye and it was clear he's passionate about capturing the unique shots of the day. His rates are very reasonable and I love the close attention he and his wife gave to us. I would recommend him for any type of affair and hope to use him again in the future!

session allowing us to have fun in natural poses the whole way through. We chose to have our e-shoot at a Vineyard in the beautiful Hudson Valley. Bryan traveled for the shoot and arrived early and scoped out the vineyards and property to generate ideas, so as we arrived and started to walk around Bryan had already tested his lens and angles and adjusted lighting accordingly, which impressed us that no time was wasted for preparation. We just sent out our Save the dates and I have received soo many compliments on the selected shots and how vivid the color and clarity are in them as well as them being just plain unique! Bryan was very organized and timely in sending the initial proofs, with even a few teasers along the way (he knows us anxious brides!). There was no question or hassle in final delivery of all the shots. We had full access to the rights, at no additional hidden cost and he had gone through to edit our top 30-40 shots before uploading them on the final CD. His final CD package was great, with a personalized sleeve and case, classy and perfect for adding into our wedding memory book. I know as a bride it can be frustrating in the selection process, looking through a million photographers but I can honestly say considering Bryan Avigne photography would not be a waste of time, professional, quality, unique, cost effective! Thank-you Bryan we will certainly be keeping you in mind in the future for other life events that need to be captured!!

s and memories of our wedding day. I couldn't ask for a better photographer and his talent is amazing.

was very flexible with our needs and wants. He made me feel so at ease on our wedding day too. We highly recommend Bryan to any couple looking for a fantastic photographer!

s patient and truly takes pride in his work. Not only are we thrilled with the end result, but we have been continually impressed by his follow up and attention to detail. We are bummed that the wedding is over. in part because we will miss seeing Bryan so often! We highly recommend him. You and your bridal party will LOVE working with him.

had a small wedding and wanted the best without the pressure of a lot of money spent. He's a really great photographer and I highly recommend.

elied heavily on our gut instincts, how we felt during our first meeting with people and after a few minutes during our initial meeting we just knew. Bryan was less like a vendor to us and more like an old college friend or a high school pal we lost touch with but reconnected after mere seconds. During the entire process of working with Bryan he was always quick to respond to any question, big or small, which truly is weight off of the Bride’s shoulders. The best thing that I can say about Bryan and his amazing team during our wedding itself is that I forgot they were there. When reviewing wedding photos I was surprised to discover that I had no recollection that some of my most cherished moments were captured on film. His ability to blend into the crowd and do whatever it took to capture all the moments, heartfelt or humorous, reassured us that we had made the right choice. And, after seeing our amazing wedding photos, we are confident we did! Months later our friends and family are still complimenting our photos and raving about our truly talented photographer. The vivid coloring and clarity of every photo makes it easy for us to relive our wedding over and over as we watch our DVD slideshow. We seriously cannot say enough about how blessed we are to have had Bryan shoot our wedding day. We would recommend anyone (and everyone!) to not hesitate in using Bryan Avigne Photography for their special day – his professionalism, artistic eye and positive energy truly makes him worth every penny!

e in a shot he wasn't actually in! He was worth every penny, I barely saw him all night, yet he captured every photo and more that I hoped he would. I would refer anyone to him!

ing with him! Our photos are timeless and we will cherish them forever. He is truly an artist and we couldn't be happier with our choice!

end recommendations and Google/The Knot searching, I found Bryan's website. His pictures were breathtaking, his prices reasonable. Better yet, he had an opening and despite my time crunch was incredibly polite and sincere in wanting to know the details of my wedding. From there, the relationship only got better. Bryan was always polite, always timely (incredibly so), always professional, always accommodating. And more than this, his photography is the perfect combination of elegant and modern. I loved every single picture he took of us... and this was true for our engagement shoot as well as the wedding. Throughout the wedding planning process, I interacted with a lot of vendors - wedding planners, DJs, videographers, etc. But since the wedding? The only person I've spoken with is Bryan. He responds to every email I send, and quickly. He has a tremendous amount of patience (I'm picky), and always wants to help in whatever way he can - even though my wedding is over! I cannot say enough about Bryan, both as a professional and as a photographer. Though choosing a photographer is an important decision, Bryan Avigne Photography won't leave you with any regrets!

over pizza in NYC, we knew we had found our photographer. Bryan was fun and easy going, and we felt comfortable with him, which is important when you're going to have someone around you on your big day. The day of the wedding went off without a hitch. We took pictures getting ready before the ceremony, during the ceremony, and at the reception. I never felt like Bryan and his photographers were in the way. In fact, I barely remember seeing them! Without my even realizing it, they managed to get a ton of great shots, capturing some amazing moments at our wedding, without ever being intrusive. We received the link to our pictures a couple of weeks ago and I can't stop looking at them. They turned out better than I could have imagined and we're so thrilled with them. We would recommend Bryan Avigne Photography to anyone looking for a wedding photographer. We're so happy with our choice!
