Meet the Team
Our team is for the couple that does not want to rely on a solo “lone ranger” photographer nor a giant company contracting out random photographers. There’s 9 of us, but don’t worry, you don’t have to pick! We have worked together for YEARS.
We come together as a team of down-to-earth creative friends, ready to document your day with a natural & photojournalistic style. We work as duos for short hourly coverage, or trios for full day weddings (and more if you add on videography).
Your team is selected and organized by Ling in advance, based on location, schedules, and your engagement session (if you choose to add an engagement session to your collection). I would love to introduce you to our team members. They’re all so fun, down-to-earth, and just overall great human beings that I’m blessed to become friends with. All the photos you see here on our website have been taken by all of these talented folks!

our signature style
Natural, non-posey poRTRAITS
Photos don’t have to always be awkward! Formally-posed group photos are very brief, but fun & laid-back portraits with direction for natural movement is our jam. Just be you, so your photos represent YOU! We’ll get to know eachother, whether it’s through an engagement session, or video meeting with your photography team.
Investment
more than just a wedding
Invest in Memories
There’s a lot of love that goes into planning the first day of your marriage, so we photograph everything from the day’s details, to hugs and laughter of family and friends that have come from afar to see you! But wedding photography with Trailing Twine is more than just one day. That’s why with all weddings, there’s a specific workflow, assignment of photographers from our team, including a backup team member in case of illness or emergency.

True-to-Life Style
natural, true-to-life editing style for all photos and videos
we're all about a natural look
NATURAL photo style
No matter which team member is capturing your wedding, all photos are edited in a consistent style. Trailing Twine Photography only works with clients who ABSOLUTELY LOVE our natural, true-to-life colors, sprinkled with some black & white photos. A natural, true-to-life style means:
– colors as the eyes see it
– not “dark & moody” nor film/vintage
– not “bright & airy” editing
bright & airy editing style
This is definitely not our style. The bright & airy style is bright, with colors slightly desaturated and sometimes having a brighter film feel.
Our True-to-life edit
This is our style and we don't like to deviate from it. Colors and skin tones are realistic, as the eye sees it. Greens are green!
dark & moody editing style
This is not our style. The colors are darker, and often very warm with a vintage or film feel. Skin tones are darker and sometimes greens are desaturated.
invest in teamwork experience & professionalism
PHOTO TEAM
There are plenty of photographers who can photograph a wedding. But how do you know if you can rely on just one? The reason why we work as a team is because a wedding day is very busy. There’s a lot happening, and having a team assistant for all of our weddings helps to get the photography going smoothly. As a team, we give each other a hand, and we make sure that we help each other out.
Each wedding we photograph includes a team assistant. The team assistant helps with clearing clutter out of the way for the lead (or second photographer), gives a hand to our videographer when needed, has a camera handy in case the lead photographer needs reception details photographed, and serves as support for the photographer/s on the wedding day. They are instrumental in organizing family group photos, and helping people and places to look good in photos!
The team assistant also serves as a backup photographer in case of any emergency.
photographing life's best moments
Life is all about connections.
Trailing Twine Photography LLC started in 2013 with a farm girl in Oregon. Ling brought the love for agriculture into her new photography business, while still working a career as a dairy tech. Ling realized that home in Connecticut is where the heart is, and became a full-time photographer of families, weddings, and growing businesses. As a team of photographer friends, we have photographed hundreds of weddings all over New England and destinations. More importantly, working with each other and learning about the people we photograph is essential to what we do. It's about who you know.
