About this vendor
With East Passage Co. weddings are captured with intention, heart, and an experienced team that works seamlessly together.
Hi, it's me, Sierra the owner of East Passage Co. I have spent a lot of time carefully building a trusted photo and video team who have worked side-by-side at countless weddings. That experience matters. We anticipate moments before they happen, move effortlessly around one another, and communicate without disrupting your day. The result? A smooth, stress-free experience and a gallery and film that feel cohesive and natural.
My goal is to help my couples feel genuinely comfortable in front of the camera. You won’t be left wondering what to do with your hands or stuck in overly posed, awkward moments. Instead, you’ll receive gentle guidance that allows you to relax, be present, and fully enjoy your celebration. My focus is real connection, authentic emotion, and the in-between moments that often mean the most.
Our approach is documentary-inspired with an editorial touch. We value candid laughter just as much as timeless portraits. Your wedding isn’t a checklist of shots but rather your story unfolding in real time. Our job is to preserve it as it naturally happens, while still creating beautiful imagery you’ll treasure for generations.
Based in Massachusetts and traveling throughout New England and beyond, East Passage Co. is honored to tell love stories with artistry, care, and intention.

Sierra and East Passage Co are simply the best. I would recommend her to anyone. She has an incredible eye for the small moments that make life meaningful. Her photos tell cohesive...
story. Her editing style is artful and effective without being overdone. Through her work, you understand how the day felt in addition to how you hoped it would look. She is super communicative, helpful, easy to talk to, and has a quick turn around time. I could go for ages, but I’ll leave it here. Could not be happier. 10/10.
Sierra photographed our wedding and the pictures are absolutely amazing! She was such a pleasure to work with throughout the planning process and day of the wedding. Sierra had a p...
ositive and calm demeanor which I really appreciated throughout the day. She also got all of our photos to us in a timely manner. I definitely recommend working with her!
Sierra has exceeded every expectation we had for our wedding day!! Her and her team have been nothing short of stellar throughout the entire experience! Sierra is truly talented, a...
nd we were thrilled by the beautiful photos she captured during our wedding. My husband and I are forever thankful for her and her team!
Working with Sierra from start to finish was easy, fun, and very comfortable. She took our engagement and wedding day photos - all of which came out exactly how we wanted! We felt ...
very understood by Sierra and she found a way to weave her creative style and our vision into the perfect end product. We hope to work with her again in the future for other big life events!
Sierra and her team truly captured our wedding day so beautifully. We couldn’t have chosen a better photography team. We met Sierra & Brian during our engagement shoot and felt sup...
er comfortable with them immediately. Throughout our planning process, Sierra was always prompt in responding to questions & help with our timeline. We got to meet our entire photography team before the day of via zoom which made us feel a lot more comfortable going into the day.
Sierra met us the night before our wedding to capture some memories from our rehearsal dinner, which was a great way for her to meet some of our family and friends. She sent me a few sneak peaks later that night - I was so impressed with her turnaround time and the beautiful images she made!
On our wedding day, it was absolutely POURING rain and we had a beachfront wedding planned. During a stressful morning, Sierra added a lot of energy and fun. She really felt like more than my photographer…especially when she was helping me adjust my fashion tape on my dress and fixing my hair and veil! I really appreciated how she pushed us to get outside and take images that captured the day. She gave us just enough instruction while still allowing us to be ourselves, and did all the work of watching the weather radar telling us when the best time was to get outside. No surprise here, but the outdoor images are amazing and I could hardly tell it rained.
Following the wedding, Sierra was unbelievably responsive. She sent us sneak peak images THE NEXT MORNING by 7AM! I was shocked and so so happy with how everything came out. Editing & selecting final images is a lot of work, and any time we felt insecure or unsure of something, Sierra sent us more sneak peaks to put us at ease. Whether it was my husband being concerned about how his tie looked or wanting extra pictures for thank you notes, I really appreciated her care as we waited for our final album.
The beautiful images & videos that Sierra & her team captured are something we will cherish for the rest of our lives and I couldn’t be happier that we chose her team.
Sierra is incredible! She helped us throughout our engagement and helped us to feel prepared leading up to our wedding day. She was organized, prepared, and took the most beautif...

nal and kind. In the beginning, I was so awkward in front of the camera because I never had professional photos taken, and she definitely made me feel comfortable and laugh! I love that she is responsive and you know the quality of work you're getting from her. She is down to earth and so passionate. I plan on family photos with her in the future because she truly is the best!
We used East Passage for our engagement photos and wedding day and they did not disappoint! Sierra was so personable and knowledgeable from the very beginning. On our first call sh...
e already had a sense of when the best lightning would be on our wedding day and where the sun would set at the venue. On the day of she even helped us find a solution to a last moment crisis that was totally unrelated to her work as a photographer. She’s a kind soul who is extremely talented! You’d be crazy not to hire her!

We got engaged in 2019 and couldn’t wait to start planning our wedding! Then the pandemic hit which flipped everyone’s world upside down. We decided to stick with our original plan...
and get married in October 2020. We found Sierra after searching for a photographer that was a “good fit.” We couldn’t have chosen better! She was responsive, professional, fun and an amazing photographer. She was so flexible with all the unknowns and really made us feel comfortable.
From our engagement shoot to the wedding, she was like an extra friend attending who just happened to be taking professional pictures. Weddings can be stressful no matter how big or small and Sierra was such a wonderful asset.
Working with her was great and the pictures said the same-they were amazing and everything we wanted to capture on the day.
Thank you again for making our wedding so special!
When I pictured a photographer for my wedding, I didn’t think too much about it in the beginning… I simply thought “great, I will have beautiful pictures from my wedding” Sierra ch...
anged my whole outlook on this when she captured our favorite day. Sierra puts SO much passion behind every single photo and truly captures every moment that you will want to remember for the rest of your life. She takes time to make sure you get everything you want and then she also gets in the smallest details that you would never think of, but will forever appreciate. I cannot thank her enough for not only the most beautiful pictures, but making it such a great experience for our us and our family and friends. Thank you from the bottom of our heart.
We are so thankful for Sierra and East Passage Photography for capturing our wedding day so perfectly. I always think back wishing I could relive the day and just scrolling through...

She captured moments that I still don’t know how she managed to get without being in two places at once! And if you’re worried about being awkward in front of the camera don’t worry she will guide you and prompt you! East Passage Photography will always be our go to photographer!!
Sierra is the best! She makes those she photographs super comfortable even if they don’t love being photographed. My husband always says “it was like hanging out with an old friend...
”.
Regardless of her friendliness, she delivers amazing photographs that showcase the essence of our special day.
Sierra Rudkowski of East Passage Photography is simply the best. She made me feel very comfortable and like she truly cared right from the start at our first zoom session. We had o...
ur engagement shoot with her and she made us feel relaxed and actually told us how to pose and position ourselves so we never felt lost or awkward. She is super sweet and was always available to help and answer any questions I had along the way in a very prompt manner. Our engagement photos were ready very quickly and were absolutely STUNNING. She was a huge help in certain detail planning for the actual wedding (which she didn’t have to do but went above and beyond), and on the day of she was perfectly punctual, professional, and made everyone look and feel their best. She captured all of the most important moments to us (beautifully, at that), and our wedding photos greatly surpassed our hopes and expectations. Everything was beautiful and so organized and well put together. I don’t believe you can find a better photographer for a better price, and Sierra delivers outstanding value as well as quality. She is an amazing photographer and I HIGHLY recommend her for all of your needs.
Sierra photographed our wedding at Beavertail State Park in Jamestown, RI, and I would totally recommend her!
We first contacted Sierra after seeing her work on Instagram. The qua...
lity and style of her images stood out in a crowd of wedding photographers.
After meeting with her over FaceTime, it became clear that we had found a great match, both in terms of style and personality.
Me and my husband, we both feel kinda awkward in front of the camera, but Sierra knew exactly how to make us feel like we were just hanging out with a friend. She knew when to blend into the background and when to assert herself to get the best pictures. We loved her attention to the details and how she’s able to picture absolutely perfect what might seem ordinary at first.
Sierra was consistently communicative, agile, and punctual throughout the entire process. She suggested us different locations for the ceremony and that’s how we ended up in the GORGEOUS Beavertail State Park. And with her help we found decorator for the ceremony.
The pictures came out absolutely fabulous and the little handmade present that we got from Sierra after the wedding, was so special and I still keep it in my nightstand as a reminder of precious memories.
If you value photography and want someone who is a master of their craft and a true professional all-round, look no further.
We will treasure these photos forever. Thank you, Sierra! East Passage Photography rocks!

an I could have imagine, and she was so fun to be around! Her style was also exactly what I was looking for when it came to editing. She got all the perfect details on our wedding day and didn’t take too long to get the photos back. Three years later and I always recommend her when I can!
