Marsal Studios

We are so happy we went with Marsal Studios for our videography! Rick did an amazing job and went above and beyond for our day. The video came out amazing and we are thrilled to have this the rest of our lives!

We hired Marsal Studios and worked directly with Rick for our wedding. It was the best experience and he captured our day beautifully! He went above and beyond, taking time to visit 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.

We used Virginia and Rick for our photos and videography! We met them at a Wedding Showcase and immediately knew they were the ones we wanted. They were warm and welcoming right from 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!

Having Virginia and Rick as our photographer and videographer was truly the best decision we ever made. We had our wedding on 4/15/18. The two of them cared about our wedding and the 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.

Virginia and Rick are the dynamic duo! They were absolutely amazing when they did the photo video at our wedding on 4/28/18. they sure do know their stuff, work extremely well with 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!

We used Marsal Studios for our wedding and absolutely loved Virginia and Rick. From the first day we met them they made us feel comfortable and at ease. They really worked with us 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.

Virginia and Rick were so amazing. We knew they were the ones to capture our wedding day as soon as we met with them. We had several meetings with them and they made sure that everything 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.

My wife and I picked Marsal Studios to handle the photography of our wedding after seeing reviews of their work on this website. We couldn't be any more pleased with the work Virginia 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!

Best photographers you can ask for for any occasion! I saw Marsal Studios at a wedding expo at the casino and as soon as I saw Virginia & Ricks work, my mother-n-law said to me "I 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!

Virginia and Rick and their team were absolutely amazing from the beginning of our engagement to the last minute of our wedding night! They came to us for the engagement photos, were 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.

Rick was absolutely incredible! At first we were not sure we wanted a videographer for our wedding due to the extra cost, but after talking with Rick I knew he was the guy for us. 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.

Virginia and her team are amazing. My husband and I got married at the Branford House in Groton, CT. Virginia captured the beautiful sunset and made our pictures look timeless. Virginia 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.

We couldn’t be happier with our choice for cinematography!! Virginia and Rick met with us multiple times and really got to know us before our wedding day! I felt respected and comfortable 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!!!

Virginia and her husband Rick were absolutely incredible to work with. Not only were they constant professionals but they approached our wedding as if they were close friends or family 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.

Virginia and Rick are an amazing couple to work with! They take amazing photographs. We just got our wedding photos back and they came out absolutely stunning! They have a sense of humor and know how to have fun! We couldn't have asked for a better couple to photograph our special day!

Virginia & Rick are truly the dynamic duo. They were the only photographers we met with, prior to making our decision. they exude love, kindness and compassion and after our engagement 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!

From start to finish, my husband and I had a wonderful experience with Virginia, her husband Rick, and the team we had at our wedding on Sept. 23rd. We had a good feeling about Virginia 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 :)

Virginia was an absolute pleasure to work with. Virginia and Zach took absolutely beautiful photos of our wedding at Waters Edge. Virginia brought a very calming energy to our wedding 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.

We could not have been happier with our decision to go with Marsal Studios as our photographer and videographer for our wedding. Virginia, Rick, and Zach were nothing short of a dream 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!

Virginia, Rick and their crew are absolutely the best! They make you feel like family and work perfectly to ensure your day is exactly how you want it! We had such a wonderful experience 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!

Virginia, Rick, and the team at Marsal Studios are the absolute best!!! From the day we had our consultation, we knew we wanted to book them for our wedding on 9/24/16 (they were actually 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!!!

Our wedding was 9/9/16 at the beautiful Wadsworth Mansion at Long Hill, Middletown, CT. Marsal Studios, Virginia and Rick Roberts, captured our engagement pictures and the results 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

We got married on Saturday, July 16, 2016 at the Aqua Turf Club, which recommended Marsal Studios for photography and videography. We first met Virginia and Rick about a year before 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!

Mandy, Virginia, and Rick were all that we could have asked for and more! They knew exactly what we wanted from the beginning and many times before we even knew that that was what we wanted. They were such a pleasure to work with and made both our engagement pictures and wedding pictures so much fun!

We had a wonderful experience with both Virginia and Rick. Virginia and Mandy were excellent at our wedding, they really captured every moment. The pictures came out AMAZING, we could 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!!

Virginia and Rick and their whole crew were amazing! The pictures captured all of the love and fun that was present thoughtout the night perfectly. So many amazing pictures that we 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!

A big thank you to Virginia and Rick. From the very first time we met them we liked them. They were so easygoing and after giving them a list of our photo preferences we were left 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.

I don't even know where to start! Rick and Virginia are the most kind, fun, loving and creative people I have ever met. They came up with some really neat ideas for our wedding photos, 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!

Mandy was absolutely fantastic with us since day one! She was a breath of fresh air when taking our engagement photos & then was absolutely so calm & patient during the craziness on 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!

I LOVE Virginia and her team. As soon as I met her I knew Virginia was going to be my photographer. She loves what she does and she loves her couples, it was so apparent. Michael 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.

Virginia and Rick were everything we could have asked for and more! They anticipated our every need throughout our wedding day yet at the same time were hardly noticed. Couldn't ask 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!

Virginia and Rick were awesome to work with. They did a beautiful job as my videographer for my wedding. It was worth it! I would truly recommend them as a videographer.

Virginia and Rick put 100% in to everything that they do. Their services are superb! They stayed with me for 12+ hours, ensuring every moment was captured. They even ensured our daughter 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.

We had a great experience with Virginia, Rick and the rest of the team at Marsal Studios! Virginia covers every detail and makes sure everything is in place and ready to go. She 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!

From the first moment i spoke with Virginia …. I just knew she was my photographer. She made you feel like you have known her for years ( truly comforting ). Made it personable. I 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.

Virginia and Rick were AMAZING for both our engagement photos and wedding day!!! They went above and beyond and made our day so special!! They got to know us and incorporated our style 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

Our experience with Virginia and Rick and their staff at Marsal Studios, LLC was like finding a guiding light. As all new brides know, the importance of your photographer comes right 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.

Dynamic duo! My husband and I were referred to Rick and Virgina by a mutual friend. We were looking for a wedding photographer and videographer. It was worth every penny! They did 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:)

From the moment I walked into the place, I knew that Marsal Studios would be our photographers. Virginia was very relaxing and informative and willing to work with my wife and I. 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.

I am so glad that Brandy (our photographer) and Brian (our videographer) were able to join us for our wedding at Harkness Park in Waterford CT on Sept. 12, 2015. They were fun to work 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

When my husband and I started planning, we knew we had a limited budget. Marsal Studios, not only made us feel like part of the family, but they were the only studio that was willing 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!

BEST Photographers ANY Disabled Bride could DREAM for! I Got Married in Windsor Locks CT in December 2014. I live in the UK and at the Time my Husband (To-Be at that point) lived 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!

I cannot say enough how much we loved the whole Marsal team. In the midst of our photographer search we decided to make the drive to Connecticut from Boston and oh my goodness was 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!

Virginia and Angie were an amazing team! We loved having them do our photography and video for our September 12, 2015 wedding. They made us feel comfortable on our day, but also 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!

Virginia and Rick were amazing from the beginning when we had our engagement photos taken. Our wedding day was beautifully captured from the first look to the ceremony to the reception! We are so happy to have chosen Marsal Studios for our wedding and we will certainly see them again as some of our engaged friends have booked them already!

Finding a wedding photographer was a tough task in my wedding process. All the photographers whose work I admired were way above my budget. All the reasonably-priced photographers work looked more amateur. Also, many photographers had certain time limits. I was getting frustrated and stressed out until I encountered Marsal Studios on a whim (Facebook ad?). Since they were located in Westbook and my wedding was at Saybrook Point Inn, I figured they were geographically convenient. When I e-mailed owner/photographer Virginia Roberts, she immediately got back to me and had a very pleasant tone. So my then-fiance (now husband) and I ventured south to Westbrook to meet Virginia at Marsal Studios (which she co-owns with her husband, Rick) located in the Water's Edge shops. Immediately, Jason and I were drawn to Virginia's gentle demeanor and sincerity. The photos were stunning and the videos were spectacular! For the price, we got two photographers and unlimited time; which was true value considering that most photography studios charged more for one photographer and less amount of time (6 hours). We were so impressed with Marsal Studios that we booked them on the spot! Our wedding day proved that we made the right decision in selecting Virginia and her team at Marsal Studios; they really were some of the hardest working people in the wedding industry. Virginia arrived at my room at 9 a.m. and worked until 11 p.m., when the reception ended. She was very easy to work with and all of my moms and attendants loved having her there. Tom, her assistant, photographed the guys getting ready. Many of our guests were impressed with the amount of shots they took, including two former photographers. From looking at our photos, I was so happy with the outcome, as were the guests! Looking at my wedding album helps me relive the best day of my life. I highly recommend brides-to-be to look into Marsal Studios. Don't worry; they do not try to upsell you anything and you won't be disappointed.

Virginia, Rick and company the most professional, amazing, talented and fun company that I have ever met they have a good heart, they take care of your day with s much love and they enjoy every second with you...For sure they know what they doing... I couldn't find anybody better to take care of my special day... I love you guys.... I am 100% happy :

I was so lucky that my Mom suggested Marsal Studios. Right off the bat when I met Virginia I just knew that she was the one who'd I want to capture my big day. After our first meeting I had felt like she was family. I knew that I could trust her and her husband Rick along with her team to bring my memories to life. I couldn't of been happier with the way everything went on our wedding day. I'm super pleased with our photos, they were exactly what my husband and I wanted. Can't wait to see our Video! Marsal Studios should be every Bride & Grooms number one pick for Photography & Videography. I look forward to working with them again in the future!

I was married on June 14, 2014 at Anthony's Ocean View. Our wedding was an evening wedding. From the moment we arrived, Virginia, Rick and crew were already there taking pictures of our event. Before the ceremony,my alter fell down due to the heavy winds from the water. The crew helped us put something together fast before our guests arrived. I was so appreciative as they used their imagination and created this beautiful scene for where we would be saying our vows. Instead of using an arch, They wrapped the two colors of our wedding on two palm threes with star fish over it. It was such a jaw dropping idea, I myself would have never thought of it. I loved it even better than the arch they had for us, because it just went with our theme of the beach. One of the girls (Mandy) even used her hair clips to hold it together. It was so amazing!! I have never felt so welcomed to such wonderful and warm people. To meeting them a year before and a month before our wedding, I knew they were perfect for all our needs. I couldn't be happier with my pictures and video. Their wedding albums are spectacular as they send them out to Italy to be created. Their are so many different options and I can't wait to receive it! The entire night was beautiful and when I received my pictures, I literally cried! They captured pictures with my parents that I never thought I would get. My husband dancing with his mom. Our nephews smiling, my cousins dancing....just all my pictures were everything I wanted and more! Virginia asked me everything I wanted for my day, and asked what ideas that I had. They did everything that I wanted for pictures, used all my ideas and made us feel so comfortable. We weren't rushed or pulled away like most photographers do. Most of the night, I didn't even know they were there and honestly that's why our wedding pictures came out magnificent. I would recommend Marsal Studios to anyone!! They captured one of the most magical days of my life and I wouldn't have wanted anyone else. My pictures are absolutely beautiful and thanks to them, we have incredible memories that we will have for the rest of our lives. Thank you Marsal Studios from the bottom of our hearts. You made our pictures such a true love story!

Our experience was wonderful. From the beginning of my wedding day the photographer Virgina was on time and attentive from the start. She helped with making sure my family was where they should be while I was getting ready for for the ceremony and when my bridal suite became too full she helped to clear out people who didn't need to be in there. ( I really appreciated this). She made sure to get all the pictures I wanted even through my complaining (I was a fussy bride) and I am so thankful for it. She took on a role of someone I could look to for help as well as an excellent photographer. The whole wedding party loved her. She even helped bustle my wedding dress! I felt so comfortable knowing she was there and I would use her services again and again! I couldn't have asked for more. My wedding pictures came out so beautiful and the attention to detail is noted through the quality of the pictures. I can say the price for photography and video were very reasonable and considering my experience, I certainly got what I paid for and much more. If you're looking for professionalism, quality pictures, and attention to detail Marsal Studios will fit you perfectly! -The Acosta's

Virginia, Rick & their crew are absolutely amazing! Virgnia and Rick work wonderfully together as a team to capture all the special moments at our wedding on May 25th at Wright's Mill Farm. Not only are they highly skilled in their profession but they are down to earth, personable, & incredibly sweet. They made us feel so comfortable and understood our style and exactly what we wanted. Due to some rain showers on our wedding day Virginia & Rick contacted me to set up a time where we could take some additional wedding photos free of charge! I was astounded by their kindness and took them up on their offer. In August we went back to Wright's Mill Farm, got all dressed up again, and had a blast taking more wedding photos and video. Marsal Studios goes above & beyond to make your wedding day special and ensure you have all the photos and video you want. You will NOT find a duo quite like them anywhere! I highly recommend Marsal Studios.

Dear bride-to-be, We had the privilege of working with a star duo and others at Marsal Studios in Connecticut. The friendship began with photography at my husband's sister's wedding and then grew to include photos at my father-in-law's Diaconate Ordination, they perfected my parents-in-law's wedding album from their wedding 30 years ago, an elegant boudoir photo shoot, and our videography for our wedding. They captured the day perfectly and were there every step of the way. They were incredibly thorough with securing all of the details of the day, and even popped in to our rehearsal dinner to say hello. Mandy attended the "bridal party's get-ready-bash" and captured the morning while keeping us all laughing and at ease. And Rick headed to join the groomsmen as their get-ready routine involved pool basketball, the Thriller Dance, and a few minutes of getting ready. ;) The staff at Marsal Studios are incredibly compassionate, charming, easygoing, and wonderful to be around. By the close of our wedding celebration, it felt like we had made a few new friends. :) We were thrilled to have had Virginia, Rick, and Mandy part of our joyous celebration and offer our greatest thanks to them for a superior job well done.

Virginia and Rick were a dream to work with 5 years ago when we got married. So much so that we have now used them to take pictures of my two year old daughter, my maternity shoot with my 2nd child and we are scheduled for family photos after our little man arrives this October. They captured moments in our wedding that our beyone imaginable. They put us at ease and made our day more memorable with their video and photography skills. Their flexibility makes them stand out from the rest. If you tell them what you want they will do that and more. I would reccommend them to any one getting married as well as for future pictures as your family grows.

We meet Rick and Virginia one time before our wedding. they were very nice and they listen to our culture details with a smile on their face. She always email me back with answers quickly. On my wedding day She arrived on time and she was very friendly with my family and guests. She followed me everywhere and captured all the special moments. I totally recommend her for any occasion.
