Weddings are once-in-a-lifetime events that require careful planning. Not just in terms of the ceremony itself, but who you find to document the day’s unfolding. Since there are so many photographers out there to choose, from we’ve taken the time to put together this list of the top Stowe wedding photographers of 2021!

1. Kristy Burrell

In fact, she uses fine art moments that shine throughout the day to tell the complete story of your wedding. From the vintage color grading she favors to her talent for picking out quirky, candid expressions and scenes, Kristy’s photography will leave you smiling alongside her subjects!

2. Hannah Hayes and Andy Baker

Hannah Hayes and Andy Baker are a pair of traveling wedding photographers who work in Stowe, VT, New York, and Greater New England! Their own wedding was a backyard event in Vermont, so they know just how the idyllic settings of the state can add to the emotional character of these images. Both the highs and lows of their lives have inspired them to focus on preserving memories for their clients. As a result, you’ll get a strong sense of nostalgia when looking through their portfolio.

3. Kelsey Regan

Kelsey Regan is a Stowe wedding photographer who was raised in Maine but now calls the Green Mountain State home. She first began photographing couples in 2011 and has over 200 weddings’ worth of experience to her brand now! Kelsey’s portfolio is a deep dive into the romantic world of wedding images, from surprise proposals and engagement sessions to micro weddings, destination weddings, and much more.

4. You Look Lovely

There are Stowe wedding photographers and there are creatives who make it their mission to craft heirloom images, as Adeline and Erik do! Their brand, You Look Lovely, describes their approach as “a bespoke photography experience for extraordinary couples dreaming of fine art heirlooms that celebrate the legacy of their rare, radiant love.” Adeline and Erik’s images nicely portray these qualities, using careful composition and poses to craft fine art-worthy images free of unintentional or distracting elements. Their color grades and exposure are always spot on, using a rich monochrome or softly pastel style to highlight the romantic mood on display.

5. Dream Love Photography

As delightful as posed wedding portraiture can be sometimes, it’s the candid in-between moments that really tell a story. Katie and Max of Dream Love Photography use a documentary wedding style focused on the unique, unrepeatable moments of beauty that naturally arise during the day. The silly things kids do when they think no one’s watching, the snorts of laughter and tears from your guests, the special way you look into each other’s eyes … Dream Love Photography caters to couples who prefer seeing the beauty inherent to themselves over cultivated moments of perfection!

6. Kathleen Landwehrle

Kathleen Landwehrle is a Stowe wedding photographer with over 25 years of experience shooting intimate memories through a photojournalistic lens. Stories ranging from enchanting to playful are expertly captured by her, often framed using the charmingly bucolic Vermont surroundings. Kathleen’s couples have adventure engagements and weddings on ski slopes, from horse-drawn chariot rides, and in grassy sun-kissed meadows. We are reminded here that a wedding is not just another day but a once-in-a-lifetime event to be savored through impactful images!

7. Savannah Brown

Savannah Brown loves Stowe for its quaint, picturesque qualities. However, she also loves destination and adventure wedding photography because it allows her to scratch her itch for travel and new horizons! Many of her couples are equally adventurous, taking to the ski slopes, hiking trails, and country roads during an intimate elopement or unique micro wedding. Classic cars, farmhouses, and other elements add a lifestyle element to the frame that allows Savannah to often tell an entire story in just a single image

8. Garren Poirier

Unlike many Stowe wedding photographers, Garren Poirier got his start as a visual artist relatively late in life. But once he discovered the joys of the art he, quickly became obsessed with it. In fact, Garren’s photography feels as much in love with the art form as it is about documenting the day’s events! His approaches are endlessly creative, using varying exposures, color grading techniques, working distances, and background elements to bring a given vision to life. We especially love his use of flash, often allowing the background to remain subdued in order to add emphasis to his subjects using this added exposure.

9. Carmen George

Carmen George is in love with love and romance itself, focusing on storytelling for weddings and elopements. She even does more than simply document these moments as a Burlington and Stowe wedding photographer; Carmen is also an officiant for Vermont weddings. We love how her website is a treasure trove of information on everything wedding, from creating your vows to finding a florist! Carmen’s wedding photography exemplifies the joy and intimacy surrounding wedding days through artfully guided poses while still finding time to capture candid moments among families and couples.

10. Ellen of The Light and Color

Ellen of The Light and Color is another wedding photographer whose work we think you’ll adore! You may have previously seen her work in publications like Harper’s Bazaar, Martha Stewart Weddings, BRIDES, and The Huffington Post! One of our favorite feedbacks we read from one of her clients was “There is a breeziness and authenticity to Ellen’s work that I really appreciate.” We can easily see both elements in Ellen’s images; the breeziness and authenticity arise from how she manages to avoid any sense of a pose being forced. Instead, we feel as if we are guests appreciating a moment of spontaneous beauty during the ceremony!

11. Luv Lens

Danielle Visco is a wedding photographer based in Stowe who operates throughout Vermont and New England. She has been previously featured as one of The Best of The Knot for 3 years straight (2017-19), Vermont Bride Magazine, and several other publications besides ours. And if you are looking for someone to highlight the more adventurous sides of your ceremony, from travel to parties, then Luv Lens is the partner for you!
