Immediately upon reaching out to Maddy, she was responsive and excited to work with me. She clearly runs her business with a collaborative mindset, which immediately put me at ease throughout the wedding planning process as I was relatively indecisive about what I wanted to do with my hair. On the day of, Maddy proved to be punctual, detail-oriented, and thoughtful, expertly accommodating the diverse hair types and styles of my bridal party. She perfectly replicated the styles my bridesmaids had shown her in photos. My hair stayed perfectly in place despite the high winds during our outdoor ceremony as well! I couldn't have asked for a better hair stylist to help make our special day feel truly flawless.

Hedi Field Photography 

5.0

  • Photographer
  • Classic style
  • Serves Block Island, RI

My love for art and photography began 10 years ago. That's when I bought my first camera. It was love at first sight! My job is way more than just to create beautiful imagery. It is to help you have fun and feel like a rockstar in front of the camera!

I cannot recommend Hedi Field Photography enough and would give 100 stars if I could! If you are considering hiring her for your engagement, rehearsal dinner, or wedding please look no further. We used her for all three and could not be happier - not only did we end up with the most incredible photos that we will cherish forever, but we gained such beautiful, fun, memories working with her that will always hold a special place in our hearts. Hedi is extremely talented at capturing your love and bond with ease, and she has such a warm, kind, and infectious energy that makes you feel comfortable from your first picture with her. As a reference - we had worked with another photographer before that did not have this touch, and the photos came out very stoic and awkward as a result. Over 1000 photos from Hedi later and not one awkward one - each one was so full of life and beauty that it instantly transports you back to the moment and makes you smile! Hedi even made sure movement and life shined through the photos of the scenery and the little details that couples work so hard on, nothing went unnoticed! From our very first meeting, Hedi was incredibly organized, meticulously detail- oriented, and thoughtful. She took the time to understand our vision, ensuring that every moment we wanted to capture was prioritized, in every location, and in every outfit. She created timelines and shoot locations to coordinate with the lighting, time of day, and ease of transition to make the process less about logistics for us and more about fun! Hedi went above and beyond during our engagement session and rehearsal dinner, ensuring we got every shot (for the engagement this consisted of 4 outfits and 3 shooting locations later, and for the rehearsal it meant being extra flexible to the large family demands with a high guest count that all wanted pictures ). Hedi has a warm and approachable demeanor, but she knows how to maintain authority amongst what can be crazy family dynamics, keep on track, and expertly adhere to deadlines, ensuring everything ran smoothly, which was especially important and crucial on our wedding day. Beyond her incredible photography talent, Hedi helped take on extra responsibilities that eased the burden on our bridal party, family, and planner. Everyone at our event loved her personality, enthusiasm, and complimented her amazing work ethic and professionalism. Hedi did absolutely everything in her power to make our day as special as possible, and we are so honored and grateful to have had her as our photographer. After the wedding, Hedi delivered sneak peals on just a couple of days, and our full gallery within 2 months. She even went outside the scope of the contract and checked in with me on editing and preferences (she has the most incredible light and airy editing style that makes every pho look like the cover of Vogue) to make sure everything was perfect. We love you Hedi and cannot thank you or recommended you enough!

Krystal has been my hair dresser for several years now and there was no question when I got engaged who I was going to ask to do my wedding hair/makeup. I always leave the salon so happy, and my wedding day was no exception! Working with Krystal is always SO easy - she’s clear and responsive, so supportive, flexible, funny, all the things. She (and her assistant Jen who helped her) did an amazing job on hair and makeup for the full bridal party and mothers. Everyone was very happy and felt beautiful and appreciated how natural yet polished our makeup was. Krystal even accommodated my mother in law who on the day of decided she wanted to have her makeup done. Speaking from someone who’s never worn foundation, she loved it too! Also note - I wore clip in extensions on my wedding day and was nervous about them, and Krystal did a fantastic job securing them and making it look so natural.

Book DJ Dayglow - you will not regret it!! Our wedding was over a year ago and our friends and family are still raving about what an incredible DJ we had!! Kara was the most amazing person to work with - she took the time to understand exactly what we wanted, what kind of music we were excited about and what to avoid... and she absolutely NAILED IT. Our dance floor was completely packed from start to finish. As a queer couple, we really wanted to work with vendors who identify as and/or have a lot of experience with queer couples. Kara checked those boxes, making us feel SO affirmed and comfortable. She even helped me pull off an epic surprise - a drag queen performance during our reception as a wedding gift for my partner :) Can't recommend Kara enough - she's truly the best!

Sheri and Amy have been close friends for more than ten years, having met through their husbands. In 2020, Sheri and her husband Will established their flower farm, Hoofprint Farm. A customer from the farm urged Sheri and Amy to create floral arrangements for their wedding and they fell in love with the creative process. This marked the beginning of their partnership, leading to Hoofprint Farm Floral Design. Since then, both friends have taken several classes in flower design and event planning, and they are now eager to dive into the world of wedding and event floral design. We are excited to see what the future holds!

From the moment my husband and I met with Sheri and Amy at Hoofprint Farm Floral Design, we knew we were in good hands. They listened closely to our vision for the wedding flowers and provided thoughtful examples and ideas to help capture exactly what we wanted. Throughout the entire process, their communication was honest, clear, and caring - they truly seemed to care about making our day special. On the wedding day, the flowers were absolutely stunning and all of our guests commented on how beautiful they were. I love that the flowers came straight from Hoofprint Farm, a local business that clearly puts so much love and attention into their work. The whole experience was seamless and I'm so grateful to Sheri and Amy for helping make our wedding day perfect.

Hi, I’m Nicole (she/her) - a Rhode Island-based wedding photographer. I have more than a decade of experience shooting weddings of all kinds - and today, I work collaboratively with my couples to create photos that evoke how their day felt. Photos of honest and emotional interactions; small details that hold weight and meaning; effortless portraits that capture the feel of the surrounding space or landscape. The result is a narrative visual story of enduring human connections, and a chronicle of emotional moments that they can revisit time and time again.

The celebration of our wedding was photographed by Nicole of Nicole Marcelle Photography. Nicole has a knack for making people comfortable and creating just the right setting for her photos. She has a format that allows couples to think through the photography plan for the day of the wedding while providing sufficient time for wonderful photos in the midst of a very busy day. We were able to capture all the moments we had hoped for without sacrificing mingling with guests and having genuine fun. Nicole is not your average photographer. She is an artist. The quality of our photographs was beyond expectations. We can’t think of anything that was missed in the 700 photographs that Nicole took on our wedding day. We highly recommend Nicole photography, not only for beautiful wedding memories, but for any occasion that you wish to cherish. Thank you Nicole for making our wedding photographs memories that will last forever.

We hired Amanda as the sole photographer for our wedding in Spring 2022 and have no regrets. She was amazing to work with! She is professional, timely, has great communication but best of all was so easy to work with and her photography work is amazing. I’m typically a bit awkward posing in front of the camera but Amanda made it so easy for me to be confidently myself. So much so, at times I forgot she was there which made for great candid shots. Her personality was an added bonus. We received a few “sneak peeks” the same day and all our wedding photos back in less than a week. She’s definitely earned us as repeat customers. Spend the money on a good, experienced photographer. You won’t regret it! I will cherish these photos for years to come.

I found myself photographing weddings 5 years ago. Before that I was into documentary and travel photography. I traveled the world doing it. My passion for love stories began after a friend asked me to photograph their wedding. It was the most intimate experience for me, the deep connection and the responsibility I was granted by my friend felt nothing but honorable. After that I decided to give it a go. Fast forward, today my style is candid and non-obtrusive and of course I work with posing and I’m really good at giving people directions. My passion is to observe my subjects and capture them in a very natural, honest and uncontrived way.

Hello Lovely!! I'm just a girl from Maine who has loved taking pictures since I received my first camera for Christmas in second grade. Years later, I took my first black & white class in high school, where I would explore the backwoods of Maine and get lost in the lines of dark pine trees and fresh white snow. I love the natural world and natural light. This was when photography became a passion. I'm SO inspired by love.

Laurel was AMAZING! She was there for us from engagement photos to wedding and in between. Always on time, answered all of our questions and most of all helped us to feel completely comfortable when we aren't "photo people". If you're thinking of hiring her, just do it! You'll be SO happy.

If I'm not behind a camera you may find me curled up with a book, sprawled out on the couch binging on crime or romance shows, and eating (basically anything deep fried, spicy, soupy, or chocolate covered). I have a slight addiction with Coca Cola + Mountain Dew...they are my version of coffee. I adore laughing and will dance no matter where I am.

KIM IS TRULY THE BEST! I don't even know where to start - from the very beginning I just knew I wanted her to photograph our wedding; we didn't even talk to anyone else. Her website, instagram and overall style really spoke to me - it feels light, airy, romantic and everything I could ever want. After speaking with Kim we instantly clicked. She is incredibly knowledgeable, professional, friendly and warm. Any questions I had she answered. Once we did our engagement shoot with her and her husband Shiloh, I honestly felt like we were all friends. And that's what I value most because it allows you to be comfortable, 100% yourself and capture the best photos. I also did a boudoir shoot with Kim and I cannot speak more highly about the entire experience. I felt sexy, empowered and beautiful. Kim made me feel so comfortable which is extremely important when trying to be vulnerable on camera. The photos were absolutely amazing and I am so happy I can look back on them forever. Now to our wedding day!!! Kim was like an additional friend, planner, and confidant on that special day. She was with me for getting ready and guided me through the day, which I definitely needed. She helped with my dress, she helped take out my veil for me, she literally went above and beyond on everything. We had so many formal pictures to get through and Kim and Shiloh took charge and made it happen. We were beyond thankful to have them with us that day. They made us laugh, smile and brought out our best selves for our photos. It felt like we were just hanging out with our friends all day which is exactly what I wanted. I cannot explain how GORGEOUS our pictures turned out!!! I am absolutely obsessed with them!! You will not regret hiring them so just do it!!! Not only do we have these stunning pictures to remember our day forever, but we gained some lifelong friends along the way and I am extremely thankful for that!

Hey friends! What is the value of a photograph? Well, if it’s art, then its value is determined by the status and popularity of the artist, in most cases anyway. If it’s that one moment at your wedding when your fiancé reads your love note for the first time, sheds that one tear they swore wouldn't happen, then it’s a moment you need captured and archived, because its value is incomprehensible. I’m going to capture that moment and preserve it forever you! Hi! My name is Mark! I'm a wedding photographer in Rhode Island and I'm really excited you're here. Send me a message, I'd love to chat with you about your wedding vision.

I worked with Mark as a photographer and all I can say is wow. He was very easy to work with and is a great team member. Commincation was excellent and he is very good at what he does. There needs to be more like him!

We cannot recommend Hotel Providence enough. Due to the pandemic and issues with our previous venue, we switched to the hotel with only 3 months to plan. Kate and her team went above and beyond for us - from planning to the actual day, they were there every step of the way. They made a very stressful time easy. In addition to this, the venue itself is beautiful and the food was delicious (received many compliments on this). And how easy for our guests to be in and stay in one place?! We already miss this day and the team. If you’re looking for a place - whether for a micro wedding now or sometime in the future, you won’t have regrets choosing Hotel Providence.

I’m Jen Lamy, and I became a wedding photographer because it is the best job in the world! As a creative professional, it allows me to be and do so many things at once; I’m a portrait photographer, a commercial photographer, a photojournalist, a fashion photographer, a businesswoman, a friend and consultant, and most importantly, a documentarian.

Jennifer was amazing! Our engagement and wedding photos turned out better than expected. She really put us at ease and made sure to capture every detail of our day. Highly recommend with no hesitation!

Hi! My name is Nicole! I am a mother of 3 girls! I do what I do and I do it for them! My job is not a “job” to me! It is my passion, my creative outlet, my time away from being a mom, where I can be “Nicole- business owner & makeup artist!” I love working with brides! Being a part of a brides special day, is my greatest joy! We get to be with you from the very start of your day & get to see all the little details start to come together, piece by piece!

Nicole is truly a master of her craft. I have very oily skin and previous make up trials with other make up artists resulted in the make up fading within two hours. Nicole did an amazing job and my make up lasted for 10 hours. I was glowing! She’s also really fun to work with. I would highly recommend her to any bride.

Bellissimo Boards did an amazing job at creating a yummy charcuterie display for the day of our wedding! The girls and I got to enjoy it while we got ready for the day. Having Sara create a board for your special day is one thing you don’t want to leave off your list. The detail and time put into our board was very much appreciated!
