Nicole Cerruto Photography
With perspective, a seasoned eye, and dedication to a documentary style that doesn’t overlook the classic portraits.
Nicole has more than a decade of experience using film and digital imagery to document celebrations throughout the East Coast. Based in Connecticut, but with roots in a small town outside of Naples, she starts nearly every day sitting at the table with three generations — herself, her mother and her grandmother — sharing coffee and Italian cookies. (Four generations if you count her dog, Killian.) Personally trained by the industry’s best, her work carries the weight of a legacy, refined with dedication to the artistry and the personalization required for an iconic wedding.
“There aren’t enough words to describe how good Nicole is at what she does. Nicole is a gem of a human. The photos came out more beautiful than we ever could have dreamed of. She is kind, warm, and I’m so thankful that I crossed paths with her!”

“So easy to work with, a nice calm presence, professional, and clearly knows what she’s doing… She managed my family (including a baby and dog) very well during picture time. Hoping she can photograph my sister's wedding too!”

"I knew Nicole was our wedding photographer after our first phone call. She was kind, knowledgeable, and incredibly personable. I'm not the only one who felt that way. When Nicole showed up to the hotel the morning of the wedding, my mom and mother-in-law both said, ‘We feel like we know you!"’”
