romanticizing life in beautiful locations around the globe
WANT TO RELIVE
I wish I was from Stars Hollow (major Gilmore Girls fan over here)… but Hartford will have to do. If you're looking for your Newport RI or Connecticut photographer for weddings and senior portrait, you've found him. I follow my couples from New England to stunning destinations across the globe to document their love story.
When you work with me, you'll never find yourself suffering through stiff poses or feeling awkward in front of my camera. My clients love how relaxed and comfortable I help them feel, and they are even more obsessed with the classic, in-the-moment images I deliver.
I believe your images should reflect the romance, joy, and excitement of your most treasured moments, which is why I shoot on film for the most classic look.

My husband and I recently got married on June 21st and booking Justin as our photographer was one of the best choices we could have made! He was amazing with communication from day one and even though he's booked and busy he made us feel like such a priority. We had a fabulous engagement session with him in NYC where he executed all of our ideas seamlessly while also bringing so much of his own inspo and experience to the table. He delivered sneak peak photos to us a mere hour later - he seriously works some magic. Our wedding day with him was nothing short of amazing! Not only does Justin bring pure talent and artistry to every couple he works with, but he also bring his larger than life personality and he left our wedding with 160 new friends (and a few other weddings booked!). We received a gallery of sneak peak photos before he even left the venue and got our full gallery less than 2 months later. Justin truly went above and beyond for us every step of the way and anyone would be so lucky to work with him. Please feel free to check out my instagram to see more photos or reach out with any questions regarding our experience working with Justin @gabrielle_carruthers

Justin is an excellent photographer! From capturing our engagement in CT, to our wedding in CA and additional memories, he was able to create flawless memories that we can cherish for life. Not only was he highly skilled with the art of photography, but was extremely professional working with our vendors and helping to ensure our day was smooth and successful. Highly recommend Justin for timeless memories and an overall fun experience to capture your engagement, wedding and more!

Justin is extremely professional to work with. He is very accommodating to your needs and how you would like to be photographed. He is extremely open to all ideas. Even if you are not comfortable in front of the camera he will make sure that you are. He truly is an amazing photographer to work with and I am so glad to have worked with him twice! Definitely will be using him again in the future!
