Defining Studios

taking group pictures actually fun by using humor and his vibrant personality to engage us all. Everyone at my wedding commented on how amazing the photographer was that day. His whole team is organized and responsive. I would hands down reccomend Defining Studios for all your photography needs. We are so happy with our photos and the whole experience with Roger.

nd and coordinate with vendors. But Roger made it so easy! He was extremely flexible when it came to Skype calls and reassured me the whole way through. The day of was an absolute dream, everything worked out perfectly, he was punctual, friendly, and super funny. My wedding party and guests alike LOVED him and his team and still talk about him to this day. Two of my close friends, who were in the wedding party, are now planning their own weddings. I didn't even have to recommend Defining Studios because they were already sold! Thank you so much for making our day so special!

wedding party, and you will love him. Roger and his team are also flexible with budgets and worked with us to make us make it happen. We could not be happier with our choice!

wer girl because all of the kids have their natural smiles as well. I knew them from my sister’s wedding 9 years ago as well. They did amazing work for her as well! Now that I am the one whose wedding it was I absolutely loved working with them. I will recommend them to my friends who get married. I also will use them for any future pictures my husband and I will need. Thank you both for making our Harry Potter wedding truly magical

was! He was great with my little nephews and getting them to smile. It was worth every penny to make them apart of my special day! Thank you so much!!

s use of natural lighting and the authentic feel of his pictures. We received many compliments for our engagement and wedding pictures. Our family and wedding guests mentioned that he and Christine were easy-going and fun. They didn’t even realized they were taking pictures. Our package consisted of 2 photographers for 8 hours and we received plenty of pictures. No one was left out. Our guests had access to the final pictures online and we also received a jump drive with our pictures. We highly recommend Defining Studios.

r wedding. We had a VERY large wedding party (15 groomsmen and 12 bridesmaids) and Roger didn't bat an eye. He managed and coordinated the group and had everyone in a great mood. My husband and I were married on August 10, 2019 and a couple days later we already have a beautiful preview of photos that look incredible. We can't wait to see the rest and we know these photos will be cherished forever. Roger has a way about him that makes everyone laugh and feel immediately comfortable. We got so many compliments throughout and after the wedding gushing about how great our photographers were! We cannot recommend Defining Studios enough, they are truly the best and will make your wedding experience the best ever!

am. Christine took beautiful engagement photos of us in the fall that we were able to use for our save the dates, wedding website and more. The weather wasn't the best for the day we were originally planning on taking the photos, yet Roger stayed calm and helped guide us into make the best decision and the photos came out perfect! The day of the wedding Christine and Roger arrived for our getting ready photos. I felt at ease working with her and so did my mom and bridesmaids! From the hotel, to the church, a photo stop in between and then the reception - Roger was a blast to work with. He was so fun, made us feel 100% comfortable with him, and captured the most beautiful photos of our day. He even surprised us with a lock with our initials on it for the bridge! All of our guests keep raving about how amazing our photographer was. He was able to take all the photos we wanted and more, while keeping everyone engaged. We had small children attending the wedding, which is hard for large family group photos, yet Roger was able to hold their attention and keep them smiling. The photos are unreal, and we can't wait to see the rest! A big thank you to everyone - Alexandria, Christine, and especially Roger!

was very organized and arrived early to scout our venue. Our photos were so so beautiful! Everyone raved about how funny roger was! Highly recommended!

f not all of the shots I wanted at the wedding (despite me running behind schedule due to transportation). He also went above and beyond at our engagement session and listened to all of my crazy ideas and captured all the moments I wanted perfectly. Two days after our wedding we had over 150 preview photos from the day and we couldn’t have been more excited to see them while away on our honeymoon. We cannot wait to see the rest of the photos in a few weeks. We also recently got our sneak peak video and couldn’t be happier. Defining studios captured so many great memories from our wedding day and we can’t thank them enough. Don’t look any further when looking to book a photographer or videographer, they are simply the best! You won’t regret it!

time as well as the first look location. Roger contacted me to let me know about a few complications we were going to have and offered me suggestions about what to do. Christina did an excellent job capturing me getting ready and getting all the little details. Both of them were great about getting pictures of things of important significance in between taking pictures of us. They are very patient, flexible and fun to work with. Christina had several creative ways for the girls to stand and found awesome locations for the best picture. Roger did a great job gathering people and making people laugh which led to natural smiles. Everyone kept talking about how friendly and energetic they were. We are so happy we got to work with such talented people. They made it so we could enjoy our special day while capturing every moment at the same time. The quality and beauty of the photos are so wonderful! I cannot thank them enough for helping everything go smoothly and capturing every moment from the sunset to the moonlit photos!

a highly formal process and Roger was great about interacting with guests in a friendly but unobtrusive manner. He is very personable and makes folks feel at ease. The rest of the Defining Studios crew is responsive, professional and friendly. We are very pleased. Oh...and the photography is great. :-)

wedding, Heather reached out and said she would not be able to photograph my wedding alongside Roger but immediately put Kevin and Nick on the job and all three of them were outstanding. On the day of the wedding they listened to my wants, offered creative ideas and made everyone feel comfortable. One of the most common pieces of feedback from my guests was, "Can I get the name of your wedding photographer?!" Roger, thank you so much from the bottom of our hearts. These are pictures we will cherish forever and we're so beyond grateful that you were able to share in our special day with us. Love, Dean and Taylor

ing it out and gave me a call to let me know that the sun would be directly in my eyes in my original ceremony spot, he saved the day by suggesting a location just a few hundred feet away from my pick. I couldn’t be any happier with how the photos turned out. Our wedding was just three days ago and a have a sample album with almost 100 photos right now! Book with Defining Studios and you won’t go wrong.

ride and have been at many weddings over the years. This team is truly exceptional and did not overwhelm the bridal party. You will not go wrong with choosing them - remember - this is one of the most important life events and you want it captured for posterity.

oothly!

hey uphold the highest standard of professionalism while being warm and incredibly engaging. And of course the photos are gorgeous, too! Highly recommend.

to book anyone else. He made us feel completely comfortable and gave us a positive energy from the first day - you will understand when you meet him. Then, the wedding day came and he confirmed exactly what initially drew us to him. Roger was absolutely incredible in every single way. He is clearly so passionate, talented and has such a vision for truly beautiful photos. I was a little bit nervous about the wedding photos because we have recently divorced parents on both sides. However, Roger was so sensitive to this and placed each family member in spots that would avoid conflicts. He kept the mood light and the focus on us, which meant the world to me. He was truly HILARIOUS and became on a first name basis with many of our guests by the end of the night. I am still getting compliments about his personality two weeks after the wedding. The conversations I’ve had with everyone who attended are along the lines of…“Your wedding was beautiful…and that photographer was awesome.” Having such a presence at our wedding AND delivering stunning photos is truly a rare find. Roger’s investment in making our wedding special was one of the main reasons why we had such a wonderful time - I truly credit him for how smoothly the whole experience went. I was amazed to receive an email THREE DAYS after our wedding with a link to our “highlight” photos. These were about 100 of some of the best photos from that day, accessible and downloadable through their website. As I expected, the pictures are absolutely beautiful and captured the mood of our wedding perfectly. I cannot wait to see the rest! I also want to mention that we communicated with Heather frequently throughout the process and she was absolutely amazing as well - she unfortunately had an injury for the day of our wedding, but Christine subbed in as our second shooter. Christine was such a sweet, lovely presence while I was getting ready with my bridesmaids - her pictures came out beautifully. Heather and Roger were both so professional throughout the process that I wasn’t even phased when Heather told me that she couldn’t make it to the wedding - I knew that I would be in great hands no matter what. We also had the videography team at our wedding, and they were just as great - I am beyond excited to receive our trailer. Kevin was awesome and very kind! As you can tell, I can go on about this wonderful team forever, but I’ll stop here. Please book them for ANY event that you have - you will not be disappointed! I certainly will be booking them again in the future. I cannot thank them enough!!

many more! Everything came out so beautifully and they had our pictures back to us in no time at all! Our guests loved them too! I really can't say enough great things. I highly recommend to any couple getting married!

s options, listen to you, make suggestions based on their experience, and then roll it all together in a package that fits your budget. I don't know how they did it, but they made it work. The team of these two, who have very different photographer styles gives you pictures that you cannot imagine. Candid, artsy, those special moments that hold all the emotion? I have all of them, now.

very snapped picture. When the kids were running away he knew how to grab their attention for a photo. When adults were getting antsy or not listening, he politely got everyone on track so traditional photos could be taken before everyone ran away for cocktail hour. Both Heather and Roger were everywhere at our wedding yet never in the way and so sneaky at getting great candid shots without making us pose for the perfect pic. They worked with us every step of the way leading up to the wedding and made sure we had a list of important photos that they would ensure were taken and shared helpful tips and tricks in wedding planning in general that reached beyond photography and videography. While we've only seen the trailer so far for the video it is everything we'd expect from a trailer. It hints at the main plot ( the wedding!!) and left us drooling for the main video that is still in the works! We highly recommend Defining Photography for your special events. Their expertise combined with their love of what they do and the fun they bring made our wedding that much more special.

time and are so talented. Our pictures are the best! Our guests thought they had a lot of energy and great personalities! Everyone loved them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If you want great photos, book with Defining Studios. You will not regret it!

met with Defining Stuidos first. We had already heard great things about them from our venue . As soon as we walked out of the meeting with Roger, one of the owners, we both looked at each-other and said let's book them! During that first meeting, Roger really took the time to learn about us, told us everything they offered and made sure we had all questions answered. We were both shocked at how much time he spent with us (about 2 hours) considering he just had a baby the day before-and was not feeling very well himself. On the day of the wedding they were Fantastic! Heather, his wife and co-owner, came to the venue and photographed the bride and the bridesmaids getting ready. Roger went to the hotel to get the photos of the groom side. They were so accommodating, they got every single picture combination I asked for and trust me they were given multiple pages of combos that I wanted taken. Heather and Roger worked great together, once Heather left for the evening we had Roger for the Reception. He was so much fun. He got all the different groups together. He captured all the silliness and even all the inappropriate stuff because he knew I wanted that. I can't wait to see the pictures when they are done. We also had Kevin video a few hours of our ceremony and reception. We cannot wait to see that. He was a great guy to work with, really made you feel comfortable. I am so glad that we decided to add this on to our package even though everyone told me how fast your wedding day goes by and how much you miss I didn't believe it. It's only been 48 hours since I said I do-and I cannot wait to see the video because I realized I didn't get to take in the whole ceremony. I missed so much because I was so focused on my husband and my vows I didn't see what was going on around me. I cannot wait to see the video. What is even more incredible is that within the first 48 hours of our wedding, we were sent our first look photos, a top 100 or so images from our wedding, with the remaining photos to be delivered within 4-6 weeks. These photos were uploaded to a special website that is password protected, so only our invited guests would be able to see those images. I hate to say it, but I didn’t cry much at my wedding, but looking at the photos that Roger and Heather took made me tear up. Their work is spectacular, and they know exactly how to capture the images that you will treasure for a lifetime. All I have to say is great things about everyone from Defining Studios. Many of our guests also told us how much they enjoyed Roger during the reception. We would book them again in a heartbeat! And so should you!

just the sneak previews. Thanks for making our day special.

h them which came out amazing. Our wedding was this past weekend and everyone was raving about them. Heather and Roger are a joy to work with and I can't wait to see how all the pictures turn out. I highly recommend them and look forward to hopefully work with them again during future milestones in our lives.

alized then that his personality was a huge selling point for me, simply because I knew he would make a point of mingling with my guest and getting great pictures. I was so right. All of my guests have raved about him, my aunt is even wondering if she can fly Roger and Heather down to Florida to do her wedding pictures!!

ganized, and made sure that everything went smoothly on the day of the wedding. Roger was with us for the entire evening, and it was such a joy to have him there with us. He interacted with our wedding party and our families perfectly - everybody loved him! He was proactive about finding unique and beautiful shots inside and outside of our venue (The Society Room of Hartford), and did an awesome job engaging with the crowd! Thank you so much for the beautiful photos, and for being a part of our wedding day.

I wanted a photographer who I felt comfortable with…who felt like a friend. I immediately felt that when I met Roger and Heather. I also fell in love with their pictures and the little personal touches they offered. Roger and Heather made the process so easy and fun! This is nice because planning a wedding can be very stressful. During our wedding we got numerous compliments from family and friends how much they enjoyed working with Roger, especially his personality. Also how they are enjoying all the photos and cannot believe how wonderful they came out! Even our immediate family and friend expressed how it was a pleasure to have both Roger and Heather with us during our Getting Ready and 1st Look Photos…that they both made it easy and helped everything run smooth. They are a wonderful team! We feel truly honored to have been lucky enough to find them and have them help us to capture so many beautiful memories. Our engagement and wedding photos were just stunning! Thank you again we cannot say that enough Trisha and Ryan!

bat an eyelash - I could be myself Woohoo!). He has a quirky and fun sense of humor which produces full, toothy grins from those guests who don't normally smile that way! By the time the reception began, Roger knew our guests and had them all at ease. We also got to know him. It made the occasion more fun and not at all stressful. Thanks again so much!! 😁😜

with our wedding photos and everyone we show them too also loves them. I would highly recooked using them for any occasion! We'll be using them again for a newborn shoot in just 6 more months!

os came out amazing and in an extremely timely manner. I'd recommend them to anybody.

a little awkward when having our picture taken, and I was absolutely blown away by how great our photos came out! Both photographers made us look great and gave us beautiful and artistic photos that we will cherish forever. Heather and Roger were both a joy to work with and so much fun to be around on our wedding day. Definitely one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! Thank you so much Defining Studios!

ect - we shared our ideas and they delivered. Great job! So helpful from the very beginning and we got our photos so quick

a difficult time picking our favorites for a coffee table book.

onsult was personality! Roger and Heather bring the perfect energy for a celebration. They were such a fun part of our wedding day - they helped us feel relaxed in front of the camera, interacted with our guests, and went above-and-beyond in capturing all of the little moments that occurred throughout the night. We've already referred our friends to them (and will continue doing so for all other engaged couples!) and can't wait to see them this December for another wedding. Oh, and of course, the pictures of our wedding were even better than we expected!

ed so that they would sit and "smile" for the camera. We had a unique request for a shot that involved my husband jumping over me on his dirt bike that he absolutely nailed! We got such awesome feedback from our guests since we put that photo on our save the date, I am so happy we used it! The day of the wedding was even better! I had sent R&H a link to my "Wedding Photography" Pinterest page before the wedding and asked if they could pick some from that list for photos of us and our bridal party. Heather actually printed the list and brought it the day of the wedding and checked shots off as we took them. Loved that! They did a great job wrangling in our family and bridal party for photos as well since they were not the easiest group to handle (in my opinion). We did a first look underneath a tree that overlooked a beautiful field. They staged the whole thing and caught such a special moment on camera for us! Since we had our dogs there for the first look and bridal party photos, Roger and Heather managed to get some awesome shots of them as well, which made my husband and I so happy! Less then a week after the wedding, they posted about 75 photos from our wedding onto their FB page. They came out so great and it got me so excited to see the rest! While it took longer to get all our photos back then our contract had stated, it was definitely worth the wait! We received a beautiful wooden box with a photo of us on the cover and an engraved wooden USB was inside. Such a nice touch that sets them apart from other photographers! Without the exceptional service from Defining Studios, our wedding day would not have been captured so perfectly! I cannot wait to hire them again for future photo sessions! Thank you H&R - you guys rock!!!!

felt sooo much better. they took control of the timing and where people need to be. They communicated with the DJ and kept everything so organized. And of course.... the pictures are wonderful!!! I am so happy with all of them. They do amazing candid shots and staged pictures. I found Roger and Heather at a wedding expo and from the moment we met, I knew they were going to be awesome to work with. All of our guests thought they were so awesome and they have such great personalities. They made everyone feel comfortable, which made the process of family photos easier and the picture come out so much better. I have been recommending they to everyone for weddings or anything they want/need photography for. Even one of our groomsmen(that is married) has been telling everyone that he wants to get re-married so he can Roger and Heather be the photographers!! LOVE THEM!!!!!

ey kept our bridal party laughing the entire time, keeping things light yet still organized to fit in all the shots we wanted. I would recommend Heather and Roger over and over again to any bride and groom, thank you both for capturing our wedding memories so perfectly!

consultation was FUN, and we were immediately comfortable with Roger. They did our Engagement photos in November of 2014 and they were amazing. It was a fun afternoon down at the Nautilus Museum with Roger. When our wedding day came, we knew the pictures were going to be amazing, but we were still blown away by the quality of not only the staged shots but the candid ones as well. My friends and family loved Heather and Roger and I would not hesitate to recommend them to other couples. Now we have to pick pictures to have printed, which seems to be the hardest part since there are so many to choose from!

rs. Roger and Heather are the hardest working and most professional duo you could ever ask for. Their unbelievable attention to detail made our wedding day so much easier. We would recommend Defining Studios to anyone!

ble via email to answer my millions of questions, and we met with Roger to talk about the specifcs of the day. They were both a pleasure to work with before and during the wedding. When I was stressing out about a couple of unfinished details in the hours before the wedding, they were there early, reassuring me that they would make sure everything was done the way I wanted it, even though the tasks had nothing to do with photography. After the ceremony, Roger and Heather were efficient, and had locations and pictures planned out in order to maximize the perfect lighting window, which lasts about 15 minutes I never saw them during the reception, but I probably got at least 10 Compliments on how amazing my photographer was! He had everyone laughing and smiling. Even though I didn't see them, they caught every moment, and the pictures really tell the story of my amazing day. The pictures are a wonderful mix of organic yet polished and artistic, which perfectly suits my style. Although I do think that the service was more than I expected to pay, the prices were on par with, or below most of the other photo services we saw. Their sample pictures pushed us over the edge initially, but meeting Roger in person solidified our decision to use Defining Studios. I would certainly recommend them with highest regard to anyone in need of a photographer.

s day memorable!

ating to our schedule. The pictures are beautiful and I have refered them to many of my friends and family. They are a great team!!!
