Awarded Best of Zola
I am a Filipino and so is my bridal party. I really needed someone who understood an Asian face. I also needed someone who could listen to me, my needs and those of my party to help us all look and feel our best. Rie delivered and more! From planning the day and on our trial, Rie was very kind, open to suggestions and creative when it came to my vision. She was patient to try out the different hair dos I wanted to sample. On the day, she amped up her talent and made me look even more beautiful than when she met me for a trial. Even my FIL thought so! You know it’s real when men notice! Haha. She also took care of my mother, who is hard to please, but was able to say good things about her hair and make up that same day too. Overall what a beautiful experience. I kind of want to get married again just to be able to redo the whole beautification and process! And of course that is only possible with Rie. Many thanks Rie!!! Pics from Nathalie Garcia

Today, Rajotte Photography offers a team of incredible associate photographers, giving us the ability to serve more amazing couples! I cannot wait to see what we can create together.

Awarded Best of Zola
I was lucky to connect with Marybeth Rajotte through a facebook bridal group when in search of a last minute photographer for my beach pandemic wedding. Let me first say that my family (both sides) can be VERY dramatic in regular times. Now we were pulling off a last minute wedding at my in-laws home, during a pandemic. It was drama. Marybeth jumped right in and got us organized so that she could capture the most beautiful sunset moments. She has an amazing energy and made us feel so at ease while she was shooting, giving us direction when needed, while allowing us to be ourselves. When I look at our photos, I feel like she captured US. We were so happy with the quality of our wedding album, and look forward to shooting with Marybeth in the future! We highly recommend Marybeth of Rajotte Photography & Media to anyone looking for a photographer for a special event.

Self-proclaimed plant nerds, we are two kick a** horticulturists who met in the public garden world and have carved a place for ourselves in the floral biz. Weddings are our jam. With the creative process at the heart of all we do, hands-on service is an understatement. From day one to day-of, we got you. Plan, design, deliver- cross them off the list. Oh... and we will oogle your invites, hug your families, and tear up when we deliver your blooms. We can’t help it. We are so grateful. Client focused and design driven. Your big day is our big day at nectar&bloom. Trust the process and we’re in!

When working on wedding planning, we knew right away that we wanted to use nectar& bloom for our florals. We wanted something fun, unique, and just not what you always see at most weddings in our area. Lisa and Ann Marie were amazing in their communication and breakdowns of what could work with our budget and venue space, and were very adaptable and helpful as changes came along the way! We had high expectations coming into our wedding day, but they were absolutely blown out of the park once we saw everything come to life! From my bridal bouquet to the AMAZING floral arch and centerpieces, we were absolutely thrilled with how bright, colorful, fun, and unique our florals were. Our guests are still raving about the flowers that we had, and I even sent out our flowers to be preserved so that I have this amazing piece of our day treasured forever. I would highly recommend using the n&b team for your wedding day; whether you are looking for something more traditional or going for something more unique and personalized, you are in great hands with Lisa and Ann Marie designing your dream day!!

We are boutique photographers that are for the clients and couples that value photography but also value being present in their day. Your wedding is not a day of photos, we come to take photos of your day. Every package is custom to each client as your experience with us is exclusive to you.

Awarded Best of Zola
Words cannot adequately describe how amazing, flawless, and special our experience was. From day one, Stephanie's professionalism, eye for detail, true love for photography, and desire to capture the essence of our love story was very clear. Although we are a bit further from Stephanie (eastern MA residents), she committed to coming to southern CT to meet us for our engagement shoot and then to central MA for our wedding. When we were surprised by a pop up thunderstorm right before our ceremony on the big day, Stephanie acted not just as our photographer but as a friend and helped us navigate the nerves and emotions of the change from outdoor to indoor ceremony. Her photos are exactly what we were looking for. When we view them, we are transported right back to that day, and every emotion, every hug, every sentimental moment is there for us to cherish. We HIGHLY recommend Stephanie and her beautiful photography and plan to work with her for many more years to come.

With a big bridal party and family, they ensured our most important people were where they needed to be and that we got all the photo shots that I had specified on my extensive list.

Awarded Best of Zola
Having AMP Band for our wedding was an A Experience. For our wedding, we used the DJ/Band Entertainment for reception, along with the String Duo Violins for the ceremony. During the pre-wedding planning stage, Ana & Jimmy took the time to get to know us on a personal level and answered all of our questions quickly through emails and zooms. What I loved about the planning stage with them was their ability to incorporate our music suggestions, while also providing feedback on music through their expertise. On the wedding day, they absolutely crushed it!! During our wedding, it was a perfect mix of live and dj entertainment during our reception. They met all of our expectations music-wise and did a phenomenal job of playing music to all generations during the night. We had countless people raving about their performance in the days after their wedding. Can’t recommend them anymore!!!

DJ Joe Rocco was equally great with reading the crowd - he had the dance floor packed all night, and we had a small wedding of about 75 people. They arrived on time, setup quickly and everything was seamless. So many guests came up to us after and asked who the DJs were and said they had never EVER been to a wedding with such great DJing. What a night to remember, thanks to Dash of Class!! Hire them!!!

Britt Lee Photography

  • Photographer
  • Classic style

  • Serves Central Islip, NY

Hello there! My name is Brittany and I am so glad you stopped by! I will be the one answering your late night emails, making you laugh during your engagement session, pulling teasers within hours of seeing you, and documenting every precious moment during your wedding day. I have been fantasizing about my own wedding day since I was about three years old and continue to be just as excited about everything wedding related today. I am a crazy cat lady, soon to be wife, and absolute Office fanatic.

Recently engaged? Congrats! Now don’t wait another second to hire Britt Lee wedding photography!! I had received Brittany’s name from another vendor and instantly fell in love with her work! After meeting her in person and seeing how sweet, calm, kind, organized she was, I knew there was no other choice for our wedding than Britt Lee wedding photography! Brittany played such an important role in our wedding right from the beginning. From helping us establish a timeline straight away that would allow her to capture hundreds of gorgeous natural light photos (we got married in December so daylight was sparse!), vendor recommendations, and constant communication and advice throughout the entire planning process (about anything and everything I asked her!), it’s like she was our personal wedding planner! And I cannot forget the Engagement session! We couldn’t get over how great the photos were (neither one of us ever had done anything like that before or had our picture taken professionally), and we had way more fun than we ever expected (yes, my husband even admitted he had a good time!) When the big day came, Brittany arrived (early none the less) and got right to to work. She kept us on track so we never had to stress about time or anything! I’ve been in a lot of weddings these past few years and I’ve never been more calm or had more fun “getting ready” than I was on the morning of my wedding, and Britt a huge played a part in that! She gives awesome direction and never makes you feel like you are “posing.” And her assistant (also Brittany!) did a great job keeping my husband and his rowdy group of groomsmen on time as well! We had such a blast at our wedding and we were able to truly enjoy ourselves knowing Britt was behind the camera capturing it all! Brittany delivered more than half of our gallery just two weeks after the wedding and the remaining photos 2 weeks after that. To receive our entire gallery in full under a month from our wedding (in the thick of the holiday season mind you) was absolutely mind blowing! But most importantly, the photos were more beautiful than we could have ever imagined! The variety she captured not just of us but of all our guests throughout the day was amazing. I could go on and on about how thrilled we were with Britt Lee wedding photography. Bottom line, Britt is a GREAT person, someone I am so happy now to call a friend, incredibly professional, and super talented. Everything you could ever want from the person responsible for capturing one of the best days of your life to share and look back on together with each other and your family and friends for years and years to come!! Brittany/Britt Lee wedding photography is simply the BEST!!

At 18, with no experience at all, Cristina attended her first “off the-guest-list” wedding, as a photographer’s assistant. Since then, she has been romantically and brazenly addicted to weddings! Following that passion with a balance of intention and fate as a private planner, Cristina graduated from the Stern School of Business in 2014 with an experienced eye for Event Design. In 2018, she established Planned by Cristina Capone, a luxury wedding & event design company. We value comfort. Our tone is always polite, helpful, and kind.

We don't even know where to begin when describing the impact Cristina had on pulling together our wedding day. Cristina is the dream wedding planner. She went above and beyond in every regard to make our day absolutely magical and joy-filled. She thought of everything we ever could have needed to pull our wedding day together. It was a joy to meet with her, and she always took the time through the whole process to listen to our hopes and vision for our day to make it all come to life. She kept us organized in the months and days leading up to the event and connected us with talented and easy to work with vendors. She created a Timeline for our wedding day and was our quarterback throughout the whole event. Ourselves and nobody around us had to worry about a single thing the whole day- we were completely taken care of by Cristina and her team. We were able to live in the moment and feel the joy of the day without an ounce of stress or worry. So many people at our wedding were incredibly complimentary of Cristina, including my dad, who even thanked her for her hard work in his toast. It is difficult for us to put into words the level of dedication, thoughtfulness, and compassion Cristina puts into each wedding she plans. Through months of planning and meetings, Cristina became a part of our family. We are forever grateful for the work Cristina does and for helping us create our dream wedding day!

Perla, which is French for pearl, was my Grandmothers name, is my middle name, and the name I give to my passion I hope to share with you.

We could not have been happier to have our wedding reception at Watermill! It was absolutely incredible! For our December wedding, it was so beautifully decorated for Christmas it created such an inviting and festive atmosphere. There are also so many spots to take pictures on the grounds that you don’t have to find another location between or before your ceremony and reception. In the few short weeks since our wedding, we have received so many compliments about Watermill! Our guests were blown away by the extensive cocktail hour selection and we were told “it was the best wedding food they’ve ever had.” The 9 dinner options were not only so amazing and tasty, but truly accommodated all dietary needs. The staff was AMAZING- huge shout out to Rob, Sean, Jessica and Erika! No need for a DOC here- they set up everything that we brought to Watermill without any issues. Even placing a personalized ornament at each place setting — for 280 people. Our bridal attendants and Sean kept drinks in our hand all night long and ensured that everything ran smoothly. We are hoping that someone in our lives decides to get married at Watermill in the future so we can go back and enjoy it as guests! Thank you so much Watermill for a truly unforgettable day! -Meghan & Connor 12/16/23

The first time I picked up a video camera I was 10 years old making home movies in my basement with friends. Today, I enjoy capturing everything from weddings to overseas adventures while still having that excitement of storytelling I had when I was a kid. I create timeless wedding videos by capturing the experience of marriage in an authentic way. My videos are inspired by real moments, emotions and people.

Like many 2020 brides, my husband and I postponed our large wedding reception until next year and held a small ceremony and dinner on our original date. Craig was recommended by our photographer for our original date and we also knew we wanted to have him for our small ceremony. Craig is the nicest guy and literally always had a smile on his face. (And I could tell even with a mask on the whole time! He smiles with his eyes!). Not only did the day move flawlessly, Craig sent us our ceremony and first look footage within 1 week of our wedding. He also edited and sent us our highlight video in less than 2 weeks! He did an incredible job and we are so happy we had him there to capture our amazing day. I have watched the highlight video so many times and it will be treasured forever. We can’t wait to have him there for our larger reception next year.
