Marsal Studios

ve this the rest of our lives!

t the venue beforehand to ensure he captured all the perfect angles. He really understood our vision and we are so grateful that we'll have such beautiful video as a memento forever. In fact, Marsal Studios was so wonderful that my maid of honor hired him for her upcoming wedding after meeting him at ours.

rom the start. Our pictures are amazing. The first time I looked through the proofs, I cried like a baby! One of the best things is when you book them, you book them for the day. Unlike other vendors, they don't give you a limit. My husband and his groomsmen/friends went golfing the morning of the wedding while the ladies got ready. Virginia and Rick split up, so there would be a photographer with both of us all morning. Rick drove from Wolcott where golfing was, to Farmington where the wedding was. Their assistant Angie was also amazing. Our video edits captured everything we had hoped and more. Not only does Rick do a highlight video, but you also get full ceremony and reception video. Everything they did was perfect and truly brought tears to our eyes. We used the open Photo Booth with from them too. Everyone's pics came out awesome! Marsal goes the extra mile. They knew the groom was in a band and they included Rock themed props at our Photo Booth. I highly recommend this team. THANK YOU for everything!

he details just as much as we did! From the moment we met them, we saw their passion and enthusiasm for capturing the moments to last a lifetime. Even though we had to downgrade our package, we were reassured all the moments that mattered to us would be captured. They did not disappoint. Virginia was more than a photographer that day. She was a friend who wanted us to have a way to look back on our wedding day for the rest of our lives. If you are looking for a photographer that will be there alongside you, make sure the moments that matter most to you are captured, and can become a lifetime family photographer - choose Marsal Studios! Marsal Studios will be our family photographer and we can’t wait until she can begin capturing the moments with our family as it grows.

other vendors, keep you on schedule, and go out of their way to make you feel like family, and that you are in the best hands! Their work is magnificent and I recommend them for any wedding or special occasion. It was an absolute wonderful experience working with Marsal Studios!

on our budget. The package included our engagement photos. Virginia and Rick both did a great job of telling us how to stand and what to do. On our wedding day, they allowed us to have a stress free day while capturing the most perfect pictures. We loved them so much we are having them do our family pictures done. We can’t thank Marsal Studios for being part our of special day. We highly recommend them for a wedding, engagement photos, or just a family photo.

ything was covered during our entire day from beginning to end. During our ceremony they had another photographer on a balcony looking down at us to get another perspective. When we watch our wedding video we cry every time we watch it. Our pictures are all so perfect and professional. They made us feel so comfortable during the entire day, we would recommend Marsal Studios to anyone that is looking to capture the most important day of their life to remember.

nia and Zach did and would give more than 5 stars if we could. We met with Virginia two times prior to the actual wedding and she set any nerves we had about the photos at ease and gave us extra ideas for different shots that we hadn't thought about. Both Virginia and Zach were polite and professional, and were always around to capture the best photos, staying until the very end of the reception. We've seen the completed photos and they are absolutely beautiful. We would (and will) recommend Marsal Studios to anyone that needs professional photography for their wedding. They are the very best at what they do!

think you just found your photographer". They are absolutely amazing and make you feel like your part of the family. No one can go wrong choosing them for their special event!

re able to give us reasonably priced packages and treated us like we were family. Virginia was with myself and our bridesmaids for the entire day from start to finish. She was able to capture the entire day with my family and bridesmaids. As well, Rick and his team were able to be able to get pictures of my husband and his friends.

He said something that I still think about that having a wedding video is not just important to my wife and I but for our kids and our family. He's been married over 40 years and has a lot of experience to share. In fact that we'd only met a few times prior to the wedding, he was my rock during the ceremony and the reception. Being a sounding board when issues arose with other vendors and also giving advice when needed about sitting down and enjoying the moment. He not only recorded our wedding but seemed more like a guest and friend. When we got our trailer and I showed a few of my friends they all had tears in their eyes instantly. When we watch the full video my friends and family wanted to watch more because it was that good. I highly recommend Rick for your wedding knowing he will capture that day and all its magic perfectly.

ginia and her husband also stayed the whole night to make sure our wedding video turned out perfect.If you are wanting someone who you can trust, go with Marsal Studios! Extremely professional and most importantly down to earth.

ortable the whole time. Our wedding Day was perfect in every way and part of that is thanks to Rick for being so professional, on time, and aware of what was going on !! Thank you guys again we love you!!!!! Highly recommended!!!

mily members, with compassionate, creativity, and excitement. Virginia worked with us on our initial consultation and our engagement shoot bringing our love story to life. Rick attended our wedding rehearsal in order to get a feel for the venue and managed our wedding with his keen eye of photography. Alex and I can not say enough about the talent both of these individuals possess. We felt right at home in their studio and felt confident in their abilities leading up to our big day. We highly recommend this business to anyone who wants an intimate and caring duo to manage their wedding experience.

humor and know how to have fun! We couldn't have asked for a better couple to photograph our special day!

gement shoot, we KNEW we had made the right decision. Our pictures capture the essence of our wedding day and are focused on the moments of the day that meant the most to us. We know now we made the right choice!

ginia from the moment we met her, so warm and inviting plus the display of their work in their office speaks for itself - incredible! We particularly loved the video formatting and we got the team all day which was perfect, no worrying about hourly rates. Virginia’s complete flexibility in terms of our budget was much appreciated she was so easy to work with. Each meeting with her went smoothly and we went into the day with nothing but confidence. On the day Virginia and her team were professional and on top of everything. We didn’t have to worry that any moment would be missed and it wasn’t! We just received the photos and are so happy. Virginia and her team really captured the happiness and fun that we and our guests had. We can’t wait to see our video! Thanks to Virginia and her team for capturing our day it will help us relive it for the rest of our lives :)

ding day, which is always helpful ;) If I had to go back and do it all again my husband and I would definitely select Marsal Studios again. We have received many compliments on the quality of our photos. Highly professional, great cost, and a pleasure to be around. We will definitely return to Marsal for any photo needs in our future.

ream team. Prior to the wedding, Virginia was always quick to answer emails with any little question and took time to schedule meetings with us to go over every single detail. I always appreciated her opinions and feedback as sometimes there were things a bride just doesn’t think of. On the day of the wedding, the team was very organized when it came to knowing where we wanted our pictures shot, photographs we wanted to have, and the important parts of our video. We felt so comfortable with them. Virginia, Rick and Zach treated us and our family as though we were their own family. When we got our pictures back, we were beyond thrilled with the gorgeous shots the team had gotten. Every time we look through them, we find a new favorite. Our video was nothing short of perfection. There was a movie and a trailer as well as sections to watch the entire day: first look, ceremony, reception. It is so tasteful and I know years from now I’ll be so happy to watch it back. We would 100% recommend Marsal Studios and cannot say enough about what a great experience we had with Virginia, Rick, and Zach! We can’t thank them enough for capturing the special memories of the happiest day of our lives!

erience with them! They are a first class act and make sure to get all of your must-have photos. They even came to our rehearsal to make sure that everything ran smoothly on the wedding day!

ctually the only photo/video team we met with because we knew we wanted them right away). They were incredible during our engagement photoshoot, even rescheduling with zero problems when the hair and makeup I had done for the photos ended up looking pretty atrocious. The team kept in contact with us consistently from the time we booked them straight through to the wedding day (and even afterwards!), and we always knew exactly what was going on and what to expect. They showed up much earlier than we had expected for the wedding, came with amazing ideas for photos and our videos, and spent the entire day and night working tirelessly to capture as much as humanly possible. We had told them we wanted some formal photos with family, bridal party, etc before the ceremony (we also did a first look) and that for the cocktail hour and reception, we were looking for more of a "natural, candid" style. They followed that to a T and we truly didn't even realize they were there throughout the night! We were able to just have fun and celebrate with our guests without constantly being pulled aside for posed photos, and we couldn't have asked for anything more. We had a special request to get a large group photo on the dance floor with as many guests as possible, and Virginia literally climbed on top of a stepladder with her camera in tow just to get the shot we had asked for. Marsal Studios went so above and beyond for our wedding, and they did even more than we ever could have hoped for. We absolutely love Virginia and Rick, and I have already recommended them to people I know!!!

of those photographs left an indelible impression. So much so that we also engaged them for our very special wedding day. They were present at our rehearsal and during the rehearsal offered the benefit of their advice to insure best picture outcomes for the wedding. During the entire day of the wedding, Virginia and Rick were always present, yet barely seen. It was clear that their goal was to try to discover and capture the essential parts of our day and memorialize those moments for all time. They seem able to capture the elusive gap between words and pictures. Brilliant, artistic and deserving of praise are words that come to mind when describing Virginia and Rick and their Marsal Studios. Mr. & Mrs. Edward A. Fesko III

e the wedding. Although we visited several companies, Virginia and Rick stood out as being extremely warm and friendly, treating us like family and eager to assist us with our needs. There was not one thing asked that they were not prepared to handle. They were very creative and helped expand upon the ideas that we brought to them. They are very affordable and give you all day service which is rare in the wedding business. We had a tight budget and when we mentioned not being able to get an album right away, they informed us that they keep records of all pictures and videos for ten years and that we could purchase an album from them at any time. This was extremely helpful in our wedding planning. Within a month or two we met them at Wickjam Park. Virginia and Rick were eager to go and we had a very fun time with both funny and romantic pictures throughout the park. When we saw the pictures later we requested a couple of minor alterations and tweaks. Virginia and Rick were very flexible about this and only asked for further detail prior to making the changes that we asked. Once these were done we used them for our Save the Dates, which everyone thought were beautiful! On rehearsal night, Virginia and Rick joined us along with the Justice of the Peace, whom they actually recommended to us during our earlier meetings. The trio were very effective at keeping us organized and focused on what we needed to know and perform for the ceremony. This spoke a lot to their dedication towards making the actual wedding day run smoothly. As mentioned previously, we were lucky to have Virginia and Rick spend the entire day with us. Starting around 11 am, Virginia spent time with the bridesmaids and bride during hair and makeup preparations while Rick spent the early afternoon with the groom and groomsmen. Both were very patient and helpful throughout the day which are great attributes to have during such chaotic moments leading up to and including the wedding. After the ceremony was concluded, Virginia and Rick took an aerial group photo of all of the guests and bridal party which we had asked for in our discussions. During the remaining photo sessions, they both took their time to make sure every photo was done right and even took some night time photos to bring out beautiful visual effects. They showed us previews before proceeding to the following photo and they looked amazing! We are very excited to share these with our family and friends. During the reception, Virginia and Rick worked together to cover the entire room in order to get plenty of pictures and videos of the guests, specific events held at the reception, and of course the dancing! All of our guests said that Virginia and Rick were so friendly and treated them like family. We would definitely recommend Marsal Studios to everyone and we look forward to working with them again for future events!

we wanted. They were such a pleasure to work with and made both our engagement pictures and wedding pictures so much fun!

uld not have been any happier. They were very personable and really took the chance to get to know us. They were just great to work with. Would recommend Marsal Studios to anyone!!

don't even know which ones to choose for our album! And they were very accommodating to all of our needs. But also were so on top of everything that we didn't even have to give any input about what we wanted. I would highly recommend them over and over again!

to enjoy our day whilst they were busy capturing those precious moments of our wedding day. We were very happy with the quality of the photos and the amount that they actually took, which gave us a huge collection of photos of the day.

tos, ideas that I could't even imagine. I am so very pleased with their work that I will continue to use them in the future for family photos, events and more. Thank you for sharing our special day with us! I also want to mention Jennifer, she was awesome!! She was so sweet, kind and had some fun ideas of her own. This truly was an outstanding experience and I will recomend you to all of my family and friends!

n our big day! She was there right by my side the whole day & really put a personal touch on everything. Thank you Marsal Studios for making our big day great!

l and I had so much fun at our engagement shoot with Virginia. My husband, who is usually shy, had so much fun and was so relaxed! The morning of my wedding, I was obviously excited/nervous/stressed/pulled in a hundred direction, but Virginia helped me relax and enjoy the morning! Now that I have my pictures, I can see why Virginia gets nothing but rave reviews. They are UNBELIEVABLE! You see all of the emotions captured beautifully. The excitement when I talked to Mike on the phone in the morning, the sad/happi-ness of seeing my dad at the church, the pure joy after our priest announced us husband and wife and all the love that surrounded us for the entire day in our family and friends' faces. It is absolutely incredible to relive our day over and over again. Virginia, Rick and Zach- THANK YOU! Thank you for making our day so special and for caring about us as much as you do. You all are incredible and I could not have found a better team to share our day with.

k for more personable, happy, passionate photographers. It truly felt like we had friends with us the whole day, not just photographers. On top of all this, they produce the best photos and they have the best photo lounge! Our family & friends loved it! Everyone was able to take home a photo and Virginia & Rick compiled a photo scrapbook on the spot of all the photo booth pictures! We may have hired them for our wedding but we'll stay with them forever!

ughter was an integral part of the day. When you work with Virginia and Rick, you are welcomed in to their family. They are great people, and I look forward to working with them to capture our milestones.

had never been to our venue before, so the day before the wedding she and Rick drove there (over 1.5 hours) to make sure they knew all the shots and how everything would be set up for the next day. We also had the photo lounge and it was so much fun, all our guests loved it! Overall, a really great experience and we highly recommend Marsal Studios!

surprised my of 18yrs with a vow renewal at the Waters Edge . Virginia was professional and extremely helpful throughout the entire process and photo shoot.

tyle into our wedding day! They made us feel like family!! We look forward to using them in the future! Thank you both and your crew for everything!!! xOxO :-) Mr & Mrs Rodriguez <3

ght behind finding that magic and beautiful wedding gown. My husband, Bob, and I were absolutely thrilled at our first meeting with Virginia at her beautiful studio in Westbrook, CT. She and her husband Rick presented great ideas for our wedding and offered very affordable packages. Most importantly, they exuded the confidence we needed to feel we were in the right place. We are so pleased with their photographic talents as our wedding album is more than we could have dreamed of. Thank You to everyone at Marsal Studios for your dedication to making weddings so memorable. We will always recommend you highly. Bob and I continue to enjoy the memories of our Valentine's Day 2015 Wedding that you so expertly and lovingly captured. Thanks so much, Connie and Bob Stange, Waterford, CT.

an amazing job and captured all of our special shots! The wedding had an early morning and they were there from the start. It is really because of them that we have so many wonderful pictures and the video is incredible! We were also lucky enough to develop a strong bond and friendship with them and now use them for our growing family. They have embraced us into their "family." The Marsal family and we couldn't be happier with the quality and personal touch and care they provide with each and every shot. Our kids love them both too. If you're looking for truly remarkable memories look no further. We'd do it all again:)

Our main photographer was Mandy, and she is amazingly sweet and fun. On the day of the wedding, she was with my wife taking prep pictures and keeping my wife calm. By the time I arrived at the venue, Mandy was already there, and doing her thing. She was very professional, and took a lot of quality shots. I'm surprised how many pictures we received on the dvd. For the price, I honestly believe that Marsal Studios can't be beat.

ork with and having seen a few of the pictures online already, I am very happy with how they were able to capture the essense of our special day. -Stephanie

ng to work with us to make sure we had everything we needed at a price that fit into our budget. For our engagement photos as well as our wedding photos we worked with Mandy. She was AMAZING!! Our pictures turned out better than we could have expected and we had such a fun time doing it (including my husband, who hates taking pictures)! Virginia and Mandy were both always on top of everything, they made sure we were on the same page and that everything was being taken care of in a timely and professional manner. The wedding pictures were better than we could have dreamed. Mandy was some how able to capture every guest as well as all of the little details that we didn't even think to ask for pictures of. We could not have asked for a better experience! Not only will we use Marsal Studios for all of our future photos, but we recommend them to anyone and everyone who needs a professional, beautiful, fun photography experience!

in CT. Trying To organise a Wedding in the USA when you live in the UK is hard enough in itself but when you add the fact the Bride (ME) has Disability’s and is wheelchair bound, but is also like other brides and has wishes and wants and dreams and feelings. It gets a little challenging. BUT Virginia and Rick not only Rose to the challenge they went above and beyond. I thought before looking for a photographer that finding one for my wedding was going to be hard as whenever I have tried find one for any occasion, as soon as I say ‘I am in a wheelchair’ they make their excuses and run a mile. John and I had choose to contact Marshal Studios First for a few reasons, we liked the look of the pictures on their site, the reviews of how Person centred Virginia and Rick where and we also wanted to have a video of our wedding ceremony as My Family would be in the UK still unable to be there with me. I was prepared for the usual Knock down but was totally overwhelmed and surprised by the kindness of Virginia and Rick who not only agreed to take our Photos and record our ceremony they were full of amazing suggestions to. They understood my wishes and wants to have some pictures OUT of my wheelchair to feel like a ‘normal Bride’ like everyone else. Even though no one was quite sure how we were going to do this till the day as I was not arriving in the USA till 2 days before the wedding. Nothing seemed to hold them back or concern them, they only seem to come up with more great ideas, Their best being the idea to have John sit down during the ceremony so, as Virginia put it ‘no one was over towering The Bride on MY day’ Both Virginia and Rick where nothing short of absolutely amazing helping me to get from my wheelchair to a ‘normal chair’ My disability and equipment wasn’t part of me and my wedding any more but things to move out the way, they made all my wishes come true. Using props to make it look like I had ‘normal legs’ up on the sofa… I, for a few moments became a ‘normal bride’ a happy normal bride… no wheelchair no disability’s. And I will forever have the pictures and film to remember those moments. Their attention to detail is Outstanding, their care for their customers is more than professional it’s personal. It’s honest and it’s true. And it truly shines through in there photos and videos. Virginia and Rick help’t me have an amazingly dream come true wedding not only getting around fact I lived in another country but the fact I was disabled. That speaks a million words about them and who they are as people. I will be forever grateful for what they have given me and John for the start of our marriage!

it worth it. I knew from the moment we walked in that we had found our photographers - warm, loving and just in our price range :) Mandy and Rick shot our engagement photos and wedding and were incredible (serious understatement). I was all sorts of nervous about being a bride and the focus of attention that day and having Mandy trail me with a smile and camera in hand put me at ease. She is one of those warm people you just want to be friends with the instant you meet her - which then makes it feel so easy to have her there with your whole crew, friends, crazy family and all. She was just awesome. Rick was with the grooms family and showed up before my husband even did because they were worried they might hit traffic. That's the kind of photographer you want on your wedding day. Through the course of the day they were able to navigate family, gracefully coordinated the bridal party, flex around anything that came up during the day and battle the heat of July. They were just great. We received the photos about a month after the wedding and could not have been happier. I'm amazed by how many awesome shots we got and how many moments they were able to capture that I didn't even realize they had. It was beyond perfect. Alas, I could go on and on but all you need to know is that if you go with Marsal studios you're not only getting great photographers/videographers but amazing people who will make sure to capture these beautiful memories. Thank you again Virginia, Rick and Mandy - you guys are the greatest!

made sure to clarify all of our wishes beforehand so that there was no need to stress about anything the day of. Their pricing was very reasonable compared to the five other vendors we met (most of whom would only do photography for the price we were quoted for both photo and video at Marsal), and the connection we had with Virginia at our first meeting was unmatched by anyone else. I would highly recommend trusting Marsal Studios to capture your important moments in life. We look forward to using them for our photography and video needs in the future!
