YOUR EXPERIENCE

From your engagement session to your wedding day and beyond, my approach is centered on connection — because the best photographs are born from trust, comfort, and genuine emotion. As your Rhode Island wedding photographer, I take the time to truly know you — how you show love, what makes you laugh, and the little details that make your relationship yours.

Your story deserves to be told with care, honesty, and heart.

Guided by Connection

At the heart of every photograph is trust. I take time to truly get to know my couples — how you interact, what makes you laugh, and the subtle ways you express love. That connection allows me to capture authentic emotion and create imagery that feels effortless, personal, and deeply meaningful.

Creative Direction

I believe that every frame should have purpose. From how the light falls to the way your story unfolds, each detail is approached with care. My process blends quiet observation with gentle direction, ensuring every image reflects not only how your day looked, but how it felt.

Timeless Curation

Your photography experience should feel calm, seamless, and beautiful from start to finish. I’ll guide you through every step — offering reassurance, thoughtful planning, and subtle artistry along the way. The result is a gallery that feels timeless, elegant, and entirely you.

I am so lucky that Deirdre was my photographer for my wedding day! 

Could not recommend her more highly. Deirdre brings with her a great energy that is both warm and positive. Members of my bridal party were complimenting me all day about what a wonderful wedding photographer I had. She was organized, reliable and extremely thoughtful and professional in everything she did. I felt very supported by her throughout the planning process and her work product is truly special!

Where to begin! Deirdre is the BEST of the BEST!

She is the photographer that just felt like another friend you got to spend the day with! From the start she was accommodating with my budget, and 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!

Deirdre truly made our dream photos a reality!

I booked her just under two years before our wedding, and throughout that time, she was nothing short of amazing. We collaborated on a shared Pinterest board and bounced ideas back and forth. No matter how far out the wedding was, she always responded with enthusiasm and support. She’s not just an incredible photographer, but also the ultimate hype woman! I can’t recommend her enough to anyone getting married. Working with Deirdre was one of the best decisions we made!

Every love story is unique — and your photography experience should be, too. My collections are thoughtfully designed to reflect the moments that matter most to you, whether it is a full wedding weekend, an intimate Rhode Island elopement, or a relaxed engagement session.

Our Process

Every story begins with connection. During your consultation, we’ll talk through your vision and the details that make your relationship yours. This step builds the comfort and trust that allows me to photograph you authentically — capturing emotion that feels real, not posed.

Our Process

This is where we build trust. You'll feel relaxed and guided every step of the way as I learn how you naturally connect, how you like to be photographed, and how to bring out your most confident, authentic selves. It’s the key to creating fun, organic images—and feeling completely at ease on your wedding day.

Our Process

By now, we’ve built a real connection—and I can’t wait to finally witness your love as it unfolds. I’ll meet your families, watch you say “I do,” and quietly document the in-between moments that make the day feel like yours. We’ll step away for portraits with ease and intention, never pulling you from what matters most, while of course staying on time: being fully present and celebrating with the people you love. And when the dancing starts, I’ll be right there with you—capturing the joy, the movement, and the magic of the night.

Our Process

After your day, each image is carefully hand-edited and thoughtfully curated into an online gallery. I refine every frame to reflect the tone, light, and emotion of the moment — creating a timeless collection you can relive for years to come. Your story deserves to be remembered beautifully.

 Her eye for detail and her ability to capture the most genuine moments blew us away. Every smile, tear, and laugh was preserved so beautifully — it’s like she captured not just the moments but the emotions behind them
