Paul J. Spetrini Photography

big and small moments throughout the day. It comes as no surprise that Paul himself is a down to earth and genuine person. It is also a plus that he is one of the more affordable photographers we found, and everything we received went above and beyond our expectations. He is truly an amazing person and a skilled photographer. Everything he does, he does professionally and enthusiastically. His effort, passion, and care clearly shine through in his work. When he met with us for our engagement photoshoot, even though it was nearly a year after our initial contact with him, he recalled all about our wedding's specifics, and took care to make sure we were comfortable with his style of posing and framing. We really appreciated how he took the time to listen to us on what we wanted and what our wedding day entailed. In our situation, we had a very long schedule starting with a traditional tea ceremony in the morning, leading to a white wedding ceremony and reception through the afternoon and evening. He was there for every moment, and we felt less stressed knowing Paul was there to keep us on schedule. Our package included a second photographer, and while her style of photography was different than Paul's, her work was just as impeccable, and the variety between their two styles made for great complementary perspectives on the day. We, as well as our parents, friends, and family, were so incredibly pleased with our beautiful photos! We highly recommend him for your wedding photography needs.

oddard State Park in order to get the best shots. Also, he dealt with us being highly awkward when it came to being photographed, haha. Our shots came out great! Before our wedding, we had a couple consultations with Paul about what we wanted on the big day. And when the day came, Paul and his second shooter, Laura, were everywhere we wanted them to be! They got great shots while we were each getting ready with the groomsmen and bridesmaids, and then during the ceremony, cocktail hour and the reception. Our friends and family couldn't stop talking about how good he was about getting all the photos they wanted. Once the ceremony was over, Paul was able to get us some "sneak peek" images within 24 hours, which was really incredible on his part. Between his travel time and when our ceremony ended, it meant he was editing photos at 2 a.m. or 3 a.m. - one of the signs of his dedication to making his couples happy. We got all of our wedding photos, as well as a flash drive and an online gallery to share with family and friends, within a month of the ceremony date. All in all it was a great experience, and we would highly recommend Paul to any potential clients.

ruly impressed on how much Paul wanted to learn about us before diving into his own work. He jotted down the ideas we wanted and we felt our voice was heard. Since we didn't hire a coordinator for the day of the wedding, Paul was our guy to keep us in line. He stuck to the agenda he created. He promptly showed up to the bride's house and immediately took action. He acted as a "fly on the wall" taking photos while professionally giving directions. He was aware of his timeframe and left to meet the groom at the church. Paul noted he photographed a wedding at the church before and recognized the layout, lighting, and knew where to stand for which parts of the ceremony. After the ceremony, Paul was quick to capture our wedding party and family before the rain came. Luckily the rain never fell, but Paul got some great shots with the lighting and clouds from the sky. Paul caters to your every need, is always responsive, and most importantly once you hire him you know you have an expert you can trust. He even provided some written commentary (Blog) that helps us relive our day everytime we read it and reminds us of how special our wedding was. Thank you Paul!

ions, and that says a lot. Perhaps my favorite thing about Paul's work is his unique talent for storytelling. I know Paul from my former work at a local newspaper, and his journalism experience carries over into his wedding photography. He doesn't deliver only the typical posed photos of any wedding photographer, but also will capture candid moments and raw emotions . This was particularly important at my wedding because my parents couldn't attend in person due to the pandemic. (I'll also note that my original date was postponed, and Paul was incredibly understanding and easy to work with rescheduling.) So beyond a zoom video, my family was only able to experience the wedding through photos. Paul captured the true essence of our day to a T and delivered a ton of photos (like seriously so many photos!) so that me, my husband, and our guests could relive that awesome day and evening, and my parents could get a feel for the day too. During the wedding day and reception, Paul was incredibly professional and skilled. My guests couldn't stop talking about Paul -- he was a star the way he would angle himself to get the perfect shot. That being said, he never felt "intrusive" -- I never felt like the camera was "in my face" so to speak during our day. Paul delivered our photos on a meticulously organized flash drive, and provided a collection online for social media sharing. To top it all off, he wrote a heartfelt blog post, which meant a lot. If you're looking for someone who is professional, easy to work with, and delivers beautiful and emotion-packed wedding photos, I could not recommend Paul enough.

iceable. After working 9 hours straight, he went home on the night of my wedding and sent me sneak peeks in which blew my mind. The quality of photos and creativity was everything I ever hoped for. He went above and beyond any expectations I had for my wedding photographer. He made everything feel so natural and easy especially during such crazy times. By looking at his photos, you wouldn’t even be able to tell we were in the middle of a pandemic. I can’t wait to see the rest of the photos in weeks to come. A HUGE thank you to Paul for all your hard work and time!!! I will be recommending you to anyone and everyone I know having an event or wedding in the future!

w he would be my photographer when it was my turn to say " I do". Paul makes his clients feel so comfortable and he has such a fun, exciting, upbeat mentality that makes the day even more special. If you are looking for special wedding photos that are a little "outside the box" or for a photographer who doesn't mind sliding across the floor to capture that special photo, then Mr. Spetrini is your guy. We were very lucky to have Paul for our wedding day, we were truly impressed with his ability to convey our story. He captured every moment as if he had been part of our lives forever. Any couple looking to truly tell their story needs to look no further than Paul. Thank you again from the bottom of our hearts for making our wedding so memorable.

great photos to capture the experience; especially since some loved ones couldn't be there. Paul is professional, patient, and personable. Above all, he is interested in getting to know *you* and your loved one(s) and telling your story. He goes out of his way to capture the special, candid moments - some of which you probably forgot about until you go through your photos and relive them. Paul is also very affordable, yet in every way his photography exceeded our expectations. You will not be disappointed if you utilize Paul J. Spetrini Photography for your special day.

mate ceremony at our home in August. We postponed everything for a later reception date, except our wedding photographer Paul, from Paul J. Spetrini Photography. Paul was amazing! He showed up to our home an hour prior to the ceremony and was able to capture each of us getting ready with our respective families. I honestly didn’t even remember him taking those pictures, Paul interacted seamlessly with our families and blended right in. Between the nerves and excitement at times I didn’t even realize Paul was snapping pictures. Paul made every member of our family feel at ease and relaxed. Paul was at our home for 2 hours and almost took 2,000 pictures! By the end of the evening we were surprised to see an email from Paul containing 12 pictures that were absolutely stunning from our special day. Paul told us that 3 weeks from our wedding we would have our pictures, and he definitely delivered. We can’t stop telling everyone about them. They are amazing and the way Paul can the emotions of the day in a picture are one of a kind. The coolest part is the cell phone App, which we have been sharing with our family and friends. We will gladly call Paul for all future events because not only did the quality of these pictures really captured our love and happiness that day, but by the end of the day Paul felt more like a family member than our photographer.

was sure to keep us in the loop as his schedule changed due to the pandemic, in case we ended up needing to reschedule. He made the whole situation, pandemic included, as unstressful as possible by always being accessible, flexible, and thoughtful. He genuinely cares about his clients and treats them like more than just a number. He photographs weddings because he’s passionate about helping couples on one of the most important days of their lives. As you get to know him you see how much he really cares. The advice he gave me before I walked down the aisle, because he has clearly worked with many couples, is an example of how he shows that he cares and I’m sure he had similar advice for my husband. Furthermore, he is a very talented photographer. My husband and I are not usually a photogenic couple. However, our wedding photos came out stunning. If you look at his website, you’ll see for yourself how beautiful his photography is. He is willing to do whatever it takes to get a good picture and every photo he snaps is beautiful. He truly documents the day with each picture. When looking at your gallery after your wedding, you’ll see how each snapshot tells its own story. When all of those pictures are put together, they tell the story of your day in a way that is so raw and genuine you would have never expected it. I truly look forward to working with Paul again when we have our larger celebration in November.

is so personable! He really made us feel at ease in front of the camera. During our consultation he showed us tons of examples and different ways he captures weddings- each unique to the couple he’s photographing. For our engagement session and wedding, he did a great job getting down to business making sure we captured all the necessary shots, but he was also game for some impromptu shots as well. I especially loved the candid images he captured for our wedding, where you can see our true emotions during such an amazing day. Paul went above and beyond the day of our wedding and we have the photos to prove it. Every shot was better than the last! We are so happy we chose Paul as our photographer. Professional, affordable, and just an all around great guy. Worth every penny!

tail and expertise actually set a tone that was instrumental in so many aspects of our wedding; from the planning with timelines and in depth thought to what we want to highlight in the day, to making sure we were both relaxed to best reflect our emotions and joy while making sure we take in those special moments he was capturing for us.   The great experience didn’t end with the wedding day as he took the time to walk us through the creation of our album, and share in detail the best shots of our wedding. When we first began to look for a photographer we knew it was an important aspect, but we basically were just hoping to find a photographer whose style appealed to us and would capture the story of our wedding.  Paul immediately stood out to us at a bridal show through the appeal of his photos and his genuine friendly personality.   The initial consultation was something that was a pleasant surprise. Paul was both friendly and incredibly organized taking little notes and asking great questions that helped us define what would be most important to us.  He walked through the details of the work he will put into our wedding while making notes on our plans for the wedding day and what has led up to it.   We did not realize how important those details would be until we saw the finished product. Paul was able to identify what would be most important for us and build a package and timeline that would best suit our needs and deliver the best result.   Not only did we come away from the consultation confident we had the right photographer, we were also more at ease in the wedding planning process.  Paul’s organization and well thought out timelines were instrumental to having our entire wedding go off so well.  It was so easy to be able to plan other vendors and aspects of the ceremony and reception from the timeline Paul has built to capture the moments that would be the most important to us.  Paul surpassed our hopes for the wedding itself.  We could not believe how hard working he was through the entire day.  The planning and details that started with the initial consultation played out perfectly during the wedding as we never felt rushed, or that his presence interfered with the day.  The exact opposite was true; his professionalism and charm helped make the most of the day, and in turn the most of the shots that he captured.  There were even times for both of us where he made sure we took in what was happening around us and reflect on what it meant to us.   He worked exceptionally well with everyone involved; from hotel staff, to the church, the reception staff, our families and guests , and even the second photographer that he brought in as part of our package needs.  He not only worked well with everyone but he was always actively looking for opinions and cooperation with all of them.  We feel this was a major factor in why we were so impressed with all the pictures he took.  Paul J. Spetrini Photography exceeded every expectation we had, delivered on the timetables that were promised, and provided us with an incredible way to relive so much of our wedding day.  We really feel Paul delivered incredible value as promised, and provided us with an incredible way to relive so much of our wedding day

got into this business to give couples a chance at getting absolutely stunning photography for a reasonable rate, he is a seasoned professional who really took care of us. Paul is attentive, responsive, and excellent at communicating. He was always exceptionally quick with answering any of my (million) questions. At our engagement session, Paul could sense we were a little nervous. He was explicit and kind with his instructions – explaining all the while why he was asking us to move in a certain way, or hold our heads at a certain angle – Paul can see the shot before it happens, and he knows exactly how to manipulate your surroundings and how to hold yourself to get the most breathtaking pictures. Whether is he is sprawled out on the ground, or directing you 100 feet away across a pond, Paul is absolutely willing to go to the distance (both literally and figuratively) to get that special shot of the day. My wedding day, is a blur. I can tell you, I’m the kind of person that is always on time. In fact, I’m early to just about everything. So when my wedding party and I started to get really down to the wire when we were getting ready – I started to get nervous. I was nervous we would be late, and my mind was all over the place, making sure my bridesmaids had what they needed, my mother had what she needed. I had one friend doing my hair, the other working on my eyelashes, another one getting me into my dress – it was a bit chaotic. I didn’t know it at the time, but Paul was the person I needed in that moment to cut through the chaos and help lead the way. He cleared the room of almost everyone, and for the first time I saw myself in the mirror. I almost didn’t recognize myself, I was truly a bride. I was a bit taken a back, and started to get a little emotional. Paul told me to look in the mirror, close my eyes and take a deep breathe. In the chaos happening all around me, he quieted things down and let me actually take a moment for myself, to realize what I was about to do, and marry the love of my life. I will forever be thankful for Paul for making it possible for me to take that moment for myself. I’ll never forget it. The rest of the day was incredible, and Paul captured every moment so beautifully. He went so far above and beyond for me and my new family. He was just as attentive and communicative with me post wedding as he was pre-wedding. Our pictures arrived exactly when he said they would. He was thorough, gracious, and kind. Everyone I show the pictures to is absolutely taken aback. Sometimes I can’t believe these photos are actually mine – but they are, thanks to Paul. Thanks to his photography, I get to look back on the best day of my life anytime I like, and see it just as vibrant and perfect as it was. You needn’t look any further for a wedding photographer, you have simply found the best with Paul Spetrini.

ig day. We got all of this and more from Paul. He was personable, perceptive and engaging, and we are still hearing from our guests that they were amazed at how he seemed to be everywhere at every moment of the day, capturing every detail. He was a huge help in planning the timeline of our day, and was incredibly knowledgeable about what to expect at different moments. Our favorite part was the fact that he made sure to give my husband and I a few minutes to be together and reflect on our day and and our journey together. These few minutes became some of our most cherished moments of the day, thanks to Paul! Our photos were amazing, and we love looking through them to relive the day...even the moments that we missed the first time around! We can't wait to recommend Paul to family and friends, so he can document their stories, too!

s leading up. Our entire photographing planning portion of the wedding process was easy and that is priceless. Paul is professional, passionate & made us feel like we were the only couple he was working with. His timeline direction was essential in an already hectic day running smoothly. He captured everything & more, which I already knew from witnessing him up high and down low during the big day but quickly re-discovered when he met with us to present the wedding photos, so many great angles. He knew exactly where to be & without ever being in the way. He arrived early & left later than expected, truly ensuring our expectations were met – and they were exceeded! We had the pleasure of working with his second photographer Danielle, who was a great addition. I’m especially thankful for the quiet moment to myself that Paul captured... Looking in the mirror as I prayed for strength during what would’ve been the first look with my dad, I will always look at those images and remember the feeling of my father’s love surrounding me, bringing me to tears. Finding the right photographer within our budget wasn’t easy, until we met Paul. Thank you for providing exceptional service & images we’ll look back on for the rest of our lives!

my vision like it was his own. He took time to get to know me and my fiancé. He was invested in our love story and his photos were lovely. In preparation for the big day, we sat down with Paul to discuss the timeline and pictures we wanted. I had no idea what to expect and Paul helped us develop a timeline and sequence of events for the wedding day. I was so thankful for this discussion and it really put my mind at ease. Paul knew when everything should take place, roughly how long each section of the day should be, and kept everyone on schedule to the best of his ability on the day of (despite how difficult that was). On the day of the wedding, Paul was simply amazing. He was great during bridal prep and knew what to say, where to be, and how to deal with various situations. He made me feel relaxed among the normal chaos and gracefully guided my throughout the day and night. My guests also commented on Paul’s professionalism and photography style. No one felt like he was intrusive when taking pictures and loved that he wasn’t afraid to lay on the floor for the best angle. We were lucky in having beautiful fall foliage on our wedding day. Paul was not shy in having us take a longer pose to get the best shot, or come down to the pond area for more formals. He was great and trekked all around the venue grounds with us, which I'm sure was exhausting. When we finally sat down with Paul to look at our wedding pictures, it was no shock to me that they were stunning. We had the privilege of having his second photographer Becky and her pictures were just as beautiful and displayed great talent. We were very fortunate to have Paul and Becky photograph our wedding day. Thank you Paul for capturing everything so beautifully!

potential client Paul was quick to respond to my emails and set up a date to meet us very quickly! Our first meeting we left knowing this was the photographer we wanted. He was extremely professional and made sure he got to know us and what we wanted out of our wedding pictures. Throughout the planning process he was extremely helpful getting our day of schedule together and making sure we had time for everything we wanted! It was also a plus that when our wedding coordinator found out who we chose she had nothing but great things to say about him, as they had worked together frequently! The day of our wedding Paul was truly amazing, and I will say that our family, bridal party, and friends are not the easiest to work with. We tend to goof off and can get off track very easily but Paul made sure that we stayed on task and got everything we told him we wanted. He wasn't afraid to get on the floor or climb on a chair to get an amazing picture! By the time that we got home and started our mini after party I already had received an email from him with our sneak peaks! This was just hours after leaving our reception! These were amazing and held us over for a few weeks until he was finished! Now that we have received our pictures we couldn't be more happy with our decision and neither will you if you choose Paul! He captured our day exactly as we remember it and now have beautiful pictures to look back at and relive this day over and over!

mation and I received Paul’s as well. We ended up emailing and set up a meeting for my husband and I to meet with him at Starbucks. I can honestly say we met with one photographer and that was Paul. After meeting him we knew we wanted him to be our photographer right away.My husband and I are both very laid back and happy people, and we could see that Paul was very similar to us but also very professional at the same time. Fast forward to our engagement shoot. At that shoot I was so happy because he just has the best ideas, but is also very considerate of yours and will literally do anything to make sure your vision come to life. This man would literally be on the ground just to get a good angle! He also just made us feel so comfortable and made it all feel so natural so I knew if he can make me feel that way at our engagement shoot the wedding was going to be even better. The week of the wedding I was getting very stressed with all of the details and Paul was there for me every step of the way. He made us a detailed timeline and anytime he could see me stress the day of the wedding he would calm me down. One thing Paul did that I will always appreciate was tell me to look at myself in the mirror and to just take a second. He told me to forget about everything around me and to just remember why I was there. To remember how hard my husband and I worked to make it all possible. Then he had me close my eyes and take a deep breath. Although it sounds like such a small detail it really was what I needed and helped me so much! Bottom line Paul isn’t only a great person, but he is an amazing photographer who genuinely cares about his clients. He is affordable, professional and he is now my photographer for life! Thank you so much Paul, I not only look to you as our photographer but also our friend!

t Paul was beyond open minded and excited to be a part of our special day. His candid photo style is one of the things we appreciated the most; we got to enjoy our big day surrounded by so many people we love without having his camera right in our faces. Looking at all the moments he captured is insane and we will be able to reminisce for the rest of our lives. He was even able to calm my bride down when I was running a tad bit late to the venue (mind you, that's not the easiest thing to do lol). Many of our guests complimented on how great he was too, catching the perfect moments. He even edited some photos the night of the wedding for us to look through!! We got tons of edited photos neatly organized on a USB that were easily navigated and on top of that within a month of our wedding in a busy fall wedding season. Bottom line: He's quirky, sticks with his deadlines, and he will literally roll in the dirt to get the perfect shot for you!

d have a very prompt response. On top of that, we planned this all remotely from across the country! Paul took the time to get to know us a little bit before the wedding to ensure he was telling our story well. On the actual day, he was prompt, efficient, and respectful, and he never felt like an intrusive presence. He also wrote a lovely blog post about the wedding to document his photos. We loved working with him and hope more people get the chance to!

nd re-do it, Paul would be my fist vendor booked easily.  He's affordable, personable, fun, professional, and his passion for photography was the major part that sold my husband and I on booking him. We received our wedding photos last weekend, less than a month after our wedding - that was HUGE for any photographer, especially with the amount of weddings he had in between, but he understands that you want to re-live your day. We hired Paul for a full day, along with a second photographer (through Paul) which we were so happy we did because we got such amazing photos from her as well, but honestly with what we received on Paul’s end we really didn't even need to put another photographer on. I feel like usually comments are always based on food when you talk to guests after a wedding but Paul was certainly the talk from all our guests. "He was on the ground at one point" is what everyone commented on and let me tell you you can tell which photos he was on the ground for! The wedding party and our guests are a very rowdy group and Paul went with it so smoothly, with such ease and ideas to create all personalities in our photos. I really thought having a photographer with me all day would make me feel awkward and less natural but that was not the case whatsoever and I can say with confidence that's because of Paul. This is your big day and your vendors are the one who make it what it is, Paul is certainly one to make your day memorable during and after. I have looked at my photos every day since I've received them and I feel as if I'm living every single second over again - even parts I wasn't there for. Overall, I could not be happier to have went with Paul!

as it was to us. He captured THE most stunning photos around Fort Adams and we will be forever grateful to Paul to capturing our perfect day. He’s affordable and professional. Without hesitation, hire him!

picture together". Paul certainly changed our mindset with his artistic eye. We received 12 sneak peek photos at 12:30 the night of our wedding which exceeded our expectations. We look forward to seeing the rest of our photos and know that Paul was able to successfully capture our special day. We highly recommend Paul for any photography needs!!

rful! He does a great job at really capturing the action of the day. I can image our children and our grandchildren looking at these photos one day down the line.

with me with any of my concerns or crazy ideas. When I was looking for a photographer, I came across Paul on Facebook. I looked at his website, his photographs, his packages, and his blogs. I loved that he took candid photos too! His packages were no overly priced compared to other photographers out there. He also doesn’t charge for extra hours that he spends at a wedding. Once my husband and I met up with Paul, we ended up meshing really well and I knew I needed to hire him as my wedding photographer. He is always very accommodating and responds to emails and messages in a timely manner. He was very helpful to me since I’m very self conscious of my body and my angles. He also helped us to keep track of our day with the timing and basically everything. He ran around our venue and church in a million different spots and angles. He photographed on the floor or way up in the air on his tip toes. I think he photographed my husband and I standing on a well. He was literally everywhere! I honestly could not have asked for a better photographer and you need to consider Paul to photograph your wedding!!!
