ETHAN KOCIELA

I'm a freelance photographer based in Burlington, VT. I discovered my love for art and photography at a young age and pursued that passion through studies at the Hartford Art School, University of Hartford. There, I learned the principles of photography as the basis of my skillset today.

I love camping, backpacking and the outdoors which naturally led to a love for landscape and wildlife photography. As my enthusiasm for the craft grew, I began to photograph family and friends every chance I got. It wasn't long before I recognized how rewarding it was to capture authentic moments of people connecting.

I aim for a candid feel at all the weddings I shoot because I think the best photos are the authentic ones. When the moment is genuine, the image is strong. That is what I strive to capture and why I love what I do.
