Rachel T.

She is the photographer that just felt like another friend you got to spend the day with! From the start she was so easygoing to work with on finding my esthetic. Over the 2 years of planning she checked in, made arrangements for an engagement shoot, and was there to answer if I had any questions at all throughout the wedding process! She made my wedding visions come to light and I will forever be grateful for her for this!

Where to begin! Deirdre is the BEST of the BEST! From the first phone call to the wedding day, she was truly a dream to work with!

RI Wedding Photographer specializing in Film Photography, Deirdre focuses on natural light, clean composition, and true-to-color tones. As a Rhode Island film photographer, she blends film and digital to create classic, editorial imagery that highlights the beauty of each wedding day.
