I've worked with Brianna a couple of times now and each time we meet it is nothing but an absolute…read morepleasure and treat to see her. Brianna is not only polite, easy to talk to, but she is also extremely professional. She takes her customers comfort, safety, and opinions very seriously and is always looking in their best interest with what is best for them. Recently, I wanted to have a spotty iPhone picture blown up and made on a canvas... However, I knew it was a poor quality photo and I had low expectations on how well it would come out but, still, the photo was special to me and I wanted it to be the best that it could. At first, I did look around to see what places could do this for me but I wanted reassurance that I wasn't going to pay and arm and a leg for something that I was going to be disappointed with in the end.. That's when I reached out to Brianna and asked if she had done these kind of projects. She said that she could absolutely help me achieve this. Not once was I ever held back from expressing what I wanted, what I didn't want or like, she made me feel so comfortable to give her direction on what I was looking for. She did her research, gave me options of canvases with pricing and even went above and beyond to reach out to other photography professionals to see if they had any further recommendations to perfect this image for me. I really, really felt like I was being taken care of. After Brianna did her magic, I think she could sense the level of nervousness I had with the photo getting blown up and making it more pixel-ly, so we met up for coffee and she presented in a BEAUTIFUL natural and organic folder, a proof. A PROOF. I was not only incredibly happy that she had offered this (free of charge, usually $50 fee) to give me a sense of "this is what it will look like" and "this is what your paying for" reassurance, but it immediately brought me to tears because she did such an outstanding job. Not even a week later, Brianna and I met back up and she gifted me in a cute bag, a wrapped canvas of the very special photo of my Grandmother and I who had passed a year ago. I truly cannot recommend Brianna enough for really going above and beyond to make me feel like I was getting the best of the best. From the entire process, down to the Thank You card she sent me (that had pressed flowered "Forget Me Nots" included!!!) this was nothing but a pleasant, fulfilling experience. THANK YOU, BRIANNA!

Everything was easy breezy and we didn't even meet until close to the ceremony! And even though we only met once before the wedding weekend, The photographers were actually such a fun presence with us on our big day that they felt like friends we had known and invited as guests to our wedding! They had a great way of leading us into amazing shots and poses but still allowing for natural, organic interactions making beautiful candids. Her turnaround was so fast with all our photos, and she was incredibly patient as it took us WAY too long to make our selections for our photo book.

Wedding photos with large groups and families can be difficult and stressful, but the way Gary handles it and takes charges is unmatched. We were able to get all the photos we needed and wanted and made it to cocktail hour! I love that he scoped out the area and then came back to us with places that would be great for photos. He has such a creative eye and the pictures are better than I could have imagined. Not to mention all my friends loved Gary! Would 100% recommend!

Lets start this review off the right way - my wife and I couldn't have asked for a better group of…read morepeople to document our celebration of love with!! When we set out to find our wedding photographer, we had a few crucial criteria to help navigate the abyss but didn't expect to make such close friends with the team we chose in the process. Gary and Lisa are superb people, with a passion and flair for life that goes far beyond the camera lens. Gary has a serious eye for detail and an uncanny ability to reinterpret a moment in an elevated perspective - taking inspiration from both set and setting. This guy is truly a photographer's photographer, and blessed with a heart of gold. The portfolio of R&R isn't a collection of one-off's; there's an underlying thought and intent to every shot you see, and this is exactly how Gary approaches his work - constant progression, evolution, and inspired reinterpretation. His photos tell your story in a way you experience, but cannot describe. I can't recommend his work highly enough. Gary and Lisa were super helpful from start to finish. Extremely responsive, attentive, and above all - genuine. The work of R&R in many respects speaks for itself. But what is important to note is that these aren't just face-value talents; they're skills that augment the personalities of some seriously wonderful people who - as is certainly true in our case - have become long-term friends. Their flexibility in working with our budgetary requirements and still delivering a top shelf experience is something we hold in high regard. Day of the wedding? Gary was on-time, organized, in solid spirits and ready to party! From his arrival on throughout the night, he was involved in the guidance and direction of our Groomsmen, our Bridesmaids, and most importantly - ourselves - and seamlessly oscillated between casual observer to active engager. Trust me, this level of dynamism is what you want in a photographer, otherwise you're bound to end up with a collection of shots that tell the same exact story from the same exact perspective, start to finish. Which gets stale and repetitive real quick. Yea, those two words are not ones you want to think of on a day that you're supposed to look back on with smiles for the rest of your days. Not only did we get an incomparable collection of photos from our love celebration, but we made some life-long friends in the process. Highest recommendations to Redwood & Rye. This glass of Nikka small batch is raised to you!! - J+F

Laura Shachmut is an incredible photographer. She puts so much talent, energy, creativity, and…read moreintelligence into her shoots, the props she brings, the ideas she has. She is focused but easy to be around, with a fun personality and real professionalism. She's great at keeping the kids happy and occupied for these I-can't-believe-she-got-that-on-camera moments and gets some of the best smiles and expressions out of them. I want her to do a photo shoot with me and my husband next. Her prices are so reasonable, too--you get unbelievable value for what you spend, especially for the Boston area. People will think you spent a whole lot more than you did, and I guarantee will ask you for her number. I love that. Like someone else said here, the hardest part is narrowing the images down--any one of them would be your favorite shot from another photographer, but with Laura, it's just soooooo hard to pick. I wish I had more walls!

We loved the photos of our whole family too! Laura is both professional and laid back, so easy to work with, and fantastic with children - she put both of our "big" girls (ages 3 and 2) at ease quickly - and they can be tough nuts to crack. Laura has three children of her own, and I think this plays a huge role in her ability to relate to little ones, and to get them "on board" with smiling and having fun for photos! We love Laura and will definitely work with her again in the future!!

We were hoping to get photos done before our son's 1st birthday and she was able to provide us with a great date/time option. We really lucked out. On the day of our shoot we couldn't have asked for a better experience. The drive to the studio was beautiful and worth it - we drove from over 30 minutes away. The studio was immaculate and ready to go for our time together. Her prep email was extremely detail oriented and let us know exactly what to expect. Once there we could easily see the setups and there was a perfect place for us to finish getting ready. Even though we brought most of our outfits she also offered an additional one for us to use and it photographed so lovely. Lastly, the cake smash session was literally the icing on the cake. She has a wonderful referral that made the most beautiful cake for us. Our custom banner was EXACTLY what we were looking for in terms of colors and vibe. She got our son to warm up, have fun, and capture his personality. Melissa's patience, professionalism, strong communication via email/text, and warmth was much appreciated as first time parents for our first shoot. We look forward to working with her again in the future!

Just totally professional, friendly, made all of us feel totally at ease during the rehearsal dinner, on the day of the wedding, at the ceremony, in the staged wedding party/family photos and at the reception. The staging she arranged was clever and fun and worked beautifully with the space. It was a long and pretty tiring day for them I'm sure, but they were upbeat and awesome the whole time. It wasn't even my wedding and I liked them both so much I knew they'd earned a 5-star Yelp review. But then I saw the photos! OMG! They're so incredible! Somehow we all look like ourselves but also the very best versions of ourselves and the spirit of the celebration is alive in each pic. Laura doesn't watermark her prints which is also really cool of her - and she started posting pics online the very next day! The whole album was up in less than 2 weeks and she gave out little cards with info about how to find the pics on her website toward the end of the reception. I found some lovely ones of my friends, myself and the bride that I will buy and frame. I wish she lived closer, I'd ask her to take all of my family photos going forward. Talented, personable, just an all-around perfect person to capture a wedding on film.

After Laura shot our VT winter wedding in 2014 we declared her our "Family Photographer." We didn't…read moreknow it then, but we weren't kidding!! In 2015 she took family photos for us on the RI beach side and in our home when our first daughter was about 6 months. Most recently my mother in law gave us a gift certificate with Laura to shoot our still growing family in September as we had another daughter who was soon to be 1 and we had yet to capture our family of four on camera. As you might imagine capturing a 1 year old and a 2 year old in the same photo lens is quite a challenge...they don't sit still long! Or look at the camera! Needless to say Laura was wonderful with the girls and we were able to stretch our time and get some absolutely amazing photos! Laura had our photos online within a few days and she was able to make some recommendations for our wood print. Patient, kind and professional. From the wedding dance floor to family portraits and baby shots Laura has and will continue to capture some beautiful moments for us and we will cherish them forever.
