We had Mike and Gabby as our photographers and they were GREAT! Our wedding ended at 10:30pm and we already had teaser photos in our email by 1:30am! Incredible. The photos are beautiful and they were both so professional and wonderful to work with. We will cherish the photos forever! Thank you SO MUCH!

Mike Evans photographed the wedding I was in this weekend. We could not have asked for a better photographer. He was professional, punctual, and a pleasure to work with. We could tell that he genuinely cared about the bride and groom getting the pictures they wanted and having a great experience. He was intuitive enough to see that all of our running around Mystic Seaport was starting to take a toll on the bride and was able to very efficiently get the remaining shots without wearing her out too much.
At the reception, he was very friendly with all of the guests and accommodated all of our requests. My husband and I were so impressed that we asked for a business card in case we need a photographer in the future and we live in Pennsylvania! It was an absolute pleasure to work with Mike and I hope we can work with him in the future.

Wonderful experience with some really beautiful photos as a result. Very impressed with their professionalism and seamless teamwork. They got their shots without disrupting the flow of our wedding or being obtrusive. They also got us to smile- no easy feat.

We recently got married in the Danbury area and Mike and his team did a fabulous job. My husband and I are extremely camera shy and we had huge families and bridal parties to account for, as well. Mike and his team made the process enjoyable and organized. We can't wait to see our photos and couldn't imagine our day without CT Photo Group!

What can I say about CT Photo Group. They were great! They walked us through everything and seemed to always be there to capture everything! We just got our pictures and they are BEAUTIFUL! I never could have imagined anything as beautiful as we got! We are so happy with the pictures and we don't know how we will be able to narrow it down for the album or choose just one for the thank you card! Mike and Garrett, we can not thank you enough for capturing all the magic of our special day!

Mike and Garrett shot our wedding this past Friday. They were amazing! Not only did Mike seem to have our list of "must have" photos memorized, but the two had such amazing ideas of photos that would definitely. work for us. Each time we went through a cycle of photos, they would be so excited about how it turned out, which made us get excited! The coloring, the angles, the creative ideas.it was amazing!
And they even stayed a few minutes after the time they were scheduled to just to get those last couple great shots. We cannot day enough great things about this company. I can't wait to get the pictures back because i know it's going to be so amazing!
