Anthony Cubbage

  • Solo performer
  • Starts at $550
  • Serves Derby, CT for additional fees

Hey, I'm Anthony! I'm a Singer-Songwriter, Pianist, and Guitarist in the Albany region. I've always been about bringing people's visions to life, whether it be producing artists', taking an amazing story and turning it into music, or filling an event with sound that speaks to the people there. I'd love to get to know both of you and your story, and help create memories with music. While I live in Albany, I'm willing to travel almost anywhere - feel free to get in touch whether you want me to come to you, or if you're planning a destination wedding!

If you're looking to add something truly unique, emotional and memorable to your wedding day, look no further. Anthony is one of the most talented songwriters I've ever heard, and his ability to feel, empathize, and tell stories comes together in perfect harmony through his music. It's not often you find somebody who has all the components to take a musician from great to one of a kind, but Anthony is absolutely that person. I wrote my vows and shared my first dance to a song that he wrote for me and my wife. We eloped on the black sand beach of Iceland, and brought a portable speaker so we could have this dance. Have you ever heard a song at the perfect moment and it feels like it could be included in the soundtrack to your life? Anthony will write that song for you, to pair with one of the most incredible moments of your life, and each time you listen to it again or it comes on shuffle, it'll take you right back to the moments you hold dear like an intimate journal entry only you and your spouse could ever truly feel. If you're even on the fence, don't hesitate to reach out. It was one of the best decisions I ever made.

Ashley is the BEST!! She did my wife and I’s engagement and wedding photographs. They are the best photos we’ve ever had taken of us. Every single photo of us is so raw but perfect and showcases our love in a way I had never seen captured! She also did my parents wedding photos and they are even more amazing(which I didn’t think was possible). I have seen some one off photos over the years kind of capturing the love my parents had (they had been together my entire life and then some aka 38 years before their wedding in 06/24). But every photo Ashley had taken that night managed to capture a glimpse of love that was so fleeting in the captured moments we had! I have no idea how she managed to capture that in every shot but she has a truly magical vision that can do that. It’s the only thing I can come up with! you will never regret booking with Ashley and you deserve to see all the emotions she can capture!

Kaity Campbell Weddings & Events LLC

  • Serves Derby, CT for additional fees

With Kaity Campbell Events, you will have a truly luxurious customer experience from the moment you sign your contract all the way up to your event day, and even beyond. We believe that every wedding should be a reflection of your unique love story, and we are here to ensure that every detail is perfectly tailored to your desires. Our passion for creating unforgettable experiences, combined with our industry expertise, allows us to curate a seamless and stress-free wedding day that exceeds your expectations. Being able to create an event that is truly yours, and has all the elements you care about, is why I started doing what I do.

Kaity did a great job, especially considering all the uncertainty of bad weather (my ceremony was outdoors) we had to all deal with. She always had an upbeat and positive attitude the whole time, which I know can be very difficult to do around my family. She definitely would just roll with all the punches to keep us on track. I was anxious the entire day, but Kaity reassured me that she had everything under control and I knew I could trust her. She even went out of her way to get me and my husband little care packages on the day of, with inspiring notes. The only hiccups I actually noticed was with announcements and speeches, because the volume and echo was not great, so people didn't know when things were actually happening, so I wish we could've told the DJ sooner to fix the issue. We had also wanted to have our dinners boxed up, because my husband and I were both too anxious and excited to really eat, so our food ended up being thrown away, plus we didn't receive the top tier of our wedding cake to save for the tradition thing (but my guess is because they served it all to the guests). Unfortunately, at the end of the night, we were super rushed to get everything out of the building, because of the time and the pouring rain- I was running around barefoot in my dress while my husband was passed out in the car, and I was one of the few trying to get everything packed and cleaned up. However, Kaity and her husband really helped us out by collecting all the left items and holding onto them for us until the next day. She kept in contact, since at least a month beforehand, to make sure we had everything in order and sent her all the vendor contacts , so she could be included with all the day-of plans. She really did go above and beyond to make sure I had the best day possible, and I really appreciated that from her. I would definitely hire her again.

Hey there! Katie here. I'm a scenic artist for theater by day and a videographer by night(s and weekends)! Keepsakes by Katie originally started as a nameless passion project to film a home-movie-style cross-country road trip with friends back in 2017. I found myself most interested in filming my friends as they were, and that's the same approach I've taken to my wedding films - candid storytelling, capturing real moments of your day in real time.

We were absolutely blown away with our wedding videos from Katie! We were not exactly sure what we wanted when we began the process, but Katie worked with us to find the perfect style/vision and delivered videos more amazing than our wildest dreams! Her ability to perfectly capture not only all the "important" more scripted moments like first look, walking down the aisle, first dances etc but also the genuine, heartfelt, candid moments in every part of the day is truly incredible. She was a joy to have with us from the bridal suite, to the first look, ceremony and on the dance floor capturing all the reception fun! My husband and I watch the videos back CONSTANTLY, her video composition is unmatched at encapsulating the vibe of the entire day exactly how it felt- laughing in the goofy/fun moments, tears during the ceremony and all around joy of the day we can feel again every time we watch them. We truly could not have asked for anything better, our wedding videos are definitely our most cherished keepsake from the weekend!!

Working with me is knowing your final product speaks to who you are as a couple (as well as gaining a friend for life). I'm not just your wedding photographer..I'm your forever photographer! Ready for your next step? Check out our packages and message me to chat and start planning!

Rachel and her team made our stressful and busy day absolutely wonderful, and now that we have our photos back, there is no denying that they were THE standout of all of those that we booked! The only thing that I would change is that she now has a new addition of a content creator that I have no doubt would be amazing! Our package included film and polaroids and Super 8 for Wedding Day and the night before. From a boudoir session in her amazing studio, a Welcome Dinner on a sailboat, different getting ready locations and all around our venue, each part was unique! Getting ready, first touch, the ceremony, cocktail hour, portraits, reception, and golden hour each have a unique different focus, which I absolutely love. The polaroids were an amazing touch, and the different types of film were such a vibe! I could not ask for more to have captured our memories and make them feel timeless! Of all of the research I had attempted to do to look for a photographer, Rachel was perfect and surpassed expectations! She and her team were flexible, experienced, professional, and have tremendous range. It was so evident that they put in work before the events to know what we were looking for. She even has great recommendations for other vendors and her connections show how well respected she is. Rachel also has a wonderful personality that seems to click with anyone. Rachel was wonderful to work with from the start. She had clear and consistent communication and it’s obvious that she is professional that loves what she does, and through our multiple sessions I had no doubt that she had our best interest in mind and was happy to be behind the camera and supporting us. The team was constantly multi-tasking, aware of what was going on, caused no concerns for us, but also always seemed to be in the right place at the right moment. She and her team were more than familiar with our timeline, what we wanted most out of the day, and needed no reminders, and as things will inevitably happen, they were quick to adjust with a smile. Time goes by so quickly during the events, and she and her team were always prepared and making what we had hoped and planned for happen! After our initial inquiry, Rachel responded quickly and we scheduled a video call, during which she was super engaged and attentive! We could tell that she really listened to what we shared we were looking for and seemed genuinely excited for what we were planning and happy to be a part of it. Her service guide and contract were clear and so were expectations. My husband and I could tell from the start that she not only had a great eye but had the business part of what she does down as well. There wasn’t a single instance during the period of time we worked together that I had doubts or felt on edge about our decision to go with her or that the end product from her team would be lacking. She checked in often and asked for a detailed questionnaire and mood board not only as a part of the inquiry, but also closer to the day which I loved as over months and months of planning things do shift and change. They did a great job of capturing candid moments and getting group shots. They were somehow able to let us enjoy the experience but also get those specific shots we’d requested. They were able to make each part of the day fun, memorable, and unique. We are so happy to say that we have traditional family portraits, candid, and even photos that look editorial!

First off just like that, the day got a whole lot better now that you are here! But let’s get one thing straight: if you are here, I want you to feel free to be YOU! Being true to who you are makes this process a hell of a lot easier! This is a judgment-free free safe space, and I want you to be as comfortable as humanly possible! Now that’s out the way, I'm Jovan Kiah, specializing in wedding and portrait photography located somewhere in the cornfields of Indiana. But always prepared for a photography adventure, I’m already packed with a suitcase of snacks, my passport, & playlist that spans from Disney musicals to '90s R&B hits.

Jovan was absolutely amazing to work with. On our calls before the big day, she was always so happy and excited and answered all of our questions and it gave us such a sense of ease. I never once had to worry or stress about photos. Day of the wedding she completely killed it. She was still her happy self but was able to organize us and snap some amazing photos. She did a fantastic job of even catching the perfect small moments, some of which I didn’t even know she was capturing. The photos are all so naturally beautiful and I can’t even begin to describe how much we love them. They are clean and bright and show us, our personalities, and our people perfectly. 100% the best decision we made.

As a natural light photographer, I have a deep love for capturing the most beautiful moments that life presents. My passion lies in preserving these precious memories through my lens. I strive to showcase the magic and authenticity found in everyday moments. Through my photography, I aim to create images that inspire and evoke emotions in those who view them.

Lisa was hands down one of my top vendors for my September 2024 wedding. Ultimately when booking vendors we had two non- negotiables- affordability and character. I met with several photographers before her and either their pricing was not within our range or I didn’t feel any “connection” with them. When I met Lisa over FaceTime I was in Target with my two toddlers because I had my schedule mixed up. She laughed about it and we were able to have a productive meeting despite the mix up. I hired Lisa not long after and I am so glad I did. Besides from being a phenomenal photographer, her personality is what put the cherry on top. She is detail oriented and assertive - like myself- and had a very efficient way of photographing our bridal party where we were even able to enjoy our cocktail hour without having a first look. She was excellent and extremely patient with our two kids. Our family loved her as did we! We were even able to get her out on the dance floor for a bit! We wish we didn’t live so far away otherwise we would be using her as our photographer a whole lot. Thank you Lisa for being such an important part of our day and for having such an incredible heart.

When I began my business over 20 years ago, I made a conscious decision to stand apart from other planners. I wanted to be available, tuned in and ready for anything. I bring a unique skillset, a dedication and a very personal approach to my business. I do not offer packages, instead giving to each couple whatever they need from me- my time, my expertise, my network. Your wedding is my top priority! And, I resolve to make every wedding a smashing success. With a 30+ year background in hospitality and events, you won't find a planner with more knowledge or experience. I have traveled the East Coast making magic- Let's Make Yours!

Wendy was literally a life saver. I won my wedding and had 3 months to plan. Between my fiance living away the whole time, me working and going full time grad school, and my psychotic family, she absolutely was my angel. She took the time to get to know ME and knew I was so unorganized due to the time frame. She took care of everything, down to allergy accommodations. She helped me deal with the stress of my family, she never left my side the whole time. She is the most empathetic, honest, patient, and hard working person in her industry. She blew my mind with what she accomplished that I didn’t even know needed to happen. I will never forget what she did for me that day, and how she made it look so effortless even when I was the worst bride! Her attention to detail is absolutely unmatched. My wedding truly would not have happened without Wendy. I am forever connected and grateful for her passion, compassion and work ethic.

Jackie at Petallion Floral was the absolute best choice we could have picked to do the flowers for our wedding. Flowers are very important to both me and my husband since both of our names contain flowers and as a special symbol throughout both our lives before we met and together. From the very beginning, I had a good feeling about Jackie because I could tell she really cared about our vision, even before we had confirmed her services, we had gone back and forth a bunch of times and she offered up some lovely ideas. She was very reachable, flexible and attentive and we had a super helpful meeting in person to go over all our ideas, she stayed longer just to make sure we were all on the same page and she knew what we wanted. She went the extra mile to make sure some specific ethnic flowers we asked for were on the arrangement menu! On our wedding day, she made everything go smoothly and the flowers looked BEAUTIFUL!! We got several compliments about how gorgeous they looked and our ceremony arch looked spectacular, as did my bridal bouquet and our reception table arrangements. We couldn't have asked for a better florist, aside from being a genuinely kind hearted woman and pleasant to work with, she worked with us to stay within our budget and did not gouge us like so many others in the business. Whoever else you are considering for your floral needs, do yourself a favor and pick Jackie. She is the hands down BEST!!!

We are not joking when we say that we hired Saja from Mawaddah productions at 8:30 am on our wedding day after realizing that we almost made one of the biggest mistakes by not having a videographer. And this was definitely the BEST decision we made. We were amazed that Saja not only managed to travel two hours from Boston to Alstead New Hampshire with a last minute notice for the job, but also exceeded our expectations by capturing all these priceless and unforgettable moments with little to no preparation other than a timeline flyer a few hours beforehand. The cinematography is insane: she films so beautifully and candidly, and her attention to details is unparalleled. Through her art and vision, she was able to translate this day which needless to say, went by overwhelmingly fast, into such a beautiful beautiful endless everlasting memory that we can now forever replay. We ABSOLUTELY ADOREDDDD the teaser, the short wedding film and the feature film. We shared it with our entire families and friends and they are completely in love. The short wedding film is on constant repeat. We could not thank her and recommend her enough for her incredible work and talent.

Hi! I am a Rhode Island Wedding Photographer with a passion for capturing candid images that tell the story of your big day.

I thrive on getting to know my clients so I can implement their vision to its highest potential, ensuring a comfortable and collaborative environment, and delivering results that exceed expectations.

Mallory was incredible! She rearranged my timeline when we were running late and still fit in pics with everyone important. She was helpful and responsive to my needs. She even took my dog to pee when nobody else was available and I was having trouble waking in my dress. She was fun to have at the wedding and had great prompts and energy that helped us get beautiful photos. Her editing style is so cool and helped bring my vision and vibe to life. She sent sneak peeks later in the night after my wedding and they are all stunning. I’m so happy we booked her for our fall wedding.

My passion for makeup and hair artistry was visible since a very young age. At 16 years old, I entered my first creative competition and placed top 3 for all of Long Island, New York. After years of pursuing hair/makeup as a hobby, I wanted to take my craft to a professional level and wound up at the London AOFM. The journey from NY to London gave me an entirely different perspective of the beauty industry. While learning from top artists from around the world, I honed in on and advanced my technique. I am now a freelance artist working in Bridal and with the Photo Studio Group specializing in modeling portfolios.

I bought my first DSLR camera in 2004 when my now wife, Tracey, and I were taking a cruise to Alaska. For a monumental trip like this, I HAD to get an amazing camera. Those 8.2 megapixels with nine four points had me in LOVE. Ever since then, the ability of a photograph to be able to freeze time; freeze an emotion; freeze a memory has kept me addicted. Whether it’s getting a great angle, finding light that tells the story, or capturing the true personality of someone; it all brings a smile to my face and hopefully yours!

If you’re looking for an AMAZING photographer, look no further! Trying to find a photographer was something that was SO important to me on my wedding day. So when we found Chris we immediately knew we wanted to reach out. We definitely lucked out that he had our wedding date available since we were working with a smaller time frame. From the first meeting we immediately knew we didn’t want anyone else. Chris was very professional and explained everything to the last detail, while also being so cool and just fun to talk to! Our engagement shoot was so much fun and it just felt like having a longtime friend with us. We really appreciated having him be a part of this whole experience and truly wouldn’t be able to imagine it without him! From our engagement pictures to our wedding photos everything was so stunning and we can’t wait to work with him in the future! We can't stop recommending him to every couple we know!
