Meet Bruno Sauma
Tabitha & Michael CV Rich Mansion - White Plains NY.
"He has an editorial style that makes your photos look like they belong in a magazine! His work speaks for itself. He was pricier than other photographers, but you get what you pay for. The budget for our wedding photos was a priority for me personally, as we will have them forever. He gives great direction and has prompts that really make the photos turn out great. Everyone was raving how amazing our photos turned out. Check out his Instagram, Facebook, and website and book him before someone else gets him on your date!" — Tabitha & Michael
"I have had my eye on Bruno's work for about 10 years and when I got engaged he was the first vendor I booked!"
Elizabeth & Drew - The Starting Gate at GreatHorse
"From the moment they arrived, they went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly. He handled the entire timeline of the day with such calm professionalism and care. Every detail, every family photo, and every individual photo with my husband and I was captured beautifully, and the entire process felt effortless because of how organized and attentive he was. We had so much fun shooting with him and his team and there is truly no one else we would want to work with. We are so grateful and would recommend him a thousand times over!" — Elizabeth & Drew
"My husband and I had the absolute pleasure of working Bruno Sauma and his wife Maíra on our wedding day."

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you photograph weddings throughout Connecticut?
Yes. I'm based in Connecticut and photograph weddings across the entire state, including Hartford, New Haven, Fairfield County, Simsbury, Litchfield, and surrounding areas. I also serve couples throughout New England and travel worldwide for destination weddings.
What is your wedding photography style?
My style is Creative Documentary, a blend of candid, unposed moments with artistic, editorial direction. I focus on real emotion, natural light, and true to life color to create Connecticut wedding photos that feel timeless, authentic, and deeply personal.
Do you offer engagement sessions in Connecticut?
Yes. Engagement sessions are a wonderful way for us to connect before your wedding day and for you to feel comfortable in front of the camera. As a Connecticut engagement photographer, I offer sessions throughout Connecticut and New England, from casual outdoor settings to more formal styled shoots.
How far in advance should we book a wedding photographer?
Most couples book their Connecticut wedding photographer 12 to 18 months in advance, especially for peak season weekends in spring, summer, and fall. I recommend reaching out as early as possible to confirm your date is available.
What is the turnaround time for wedding photos?
Sneak peeks are typically delivered within one week of your wedding day so you can share early highlights with family and friends. Full wedding galleries are delivered within 6-8 weeks > July to Nov. and 4-6 weeks > Dec. to Jun. Beautifully edited, color corrected, and ready to relive every moment.
What should we expect when working with you as our wedding photographer?
From the moment you inquire to the final gallery delivery, my goal is to make the experience feel calm, personal, and enjoyable. We'll connect early, talk through your vision, and I'll guide you naturally on the wedding day so the photos feel authentic rather than staged. You'll always know what to expect at every step.
Are you available for destination weddings outside of Connecticut?
Absolutely. While Connecticut is home, I regularly photograph destination weddings across the United States and internationally. Travel fees and logistics can be tailored to your location, whether you're planning a coastal celebration, a mountain elopement, or a wedding abroad. Please check the Elopement Page Services for more information
What types of weddings do you specialize in?
I specialize in elegant, emotion driven weddings of all sizes, from intimate elopements to large multicultural celebrations. My experience includes traditional ceremonies, luxury weddings, outdoor venues, religious ceremonies, and destination events across Connecticut and beyond.
