A dad, a son, a brother and a jack of all trades musician that loves to rock out any chance I get. I grew up in New York City. My inclination towards photography came from classic street photography and photojournalists from all over the world that told their stories through a lens. It made me pick up a camera and start shooting. Now, living in Maryland I shoot all sorts of stories and moments locally, domestically, and abroad. It's taken me a while to figure out what my "thing" is but I've come to figure out that I'm a milestone photographer. The moments your life that have proven to be meaningful -- I'll be there.

Sam absolutely covered every single little detail of our wedding. It was great to see things we didn't even catch as the day went by. He assured us every step of the way. He caught all the candids we could have ever wanted and posed us like a pro when necessary. Probably the best at communication out of all our vendors and is still the person we come to with our new milestones. A maternity session is definitely going to be in the mix soon

Pix byJay

  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves Derby, CT for additional fees

Hi, my name is Juan, AKA Jay, I am a Western Massachusetts based photographer. I first began my interest in photography in grade school. While my teacher would conduct the class I would be interested in the images so I could make more of a connection. I was also dubbed the "family photographer" whenever there was a family function. I am more of a non-traditional photographer, meaning, I enjoy control candid photos vs traditional posing photos.

My husband and I got married almost 7 months ago and the pictures for both our engagement session and our wedding were amazing. We loved working with Pix by Jay and would definitely use him again.

Melissa is amazing! My mom’s wedding was Melissa’s first about 8 years ago, my family and I have been cheering her on ever since! When I got engaged I knew immediately who I was going to call for our photos! A total bonus an engagement shoot was included in her wedding package!! She was absolutely amazing to work from start to finish. Great communication the entire time, very helpful and very good under pressure. A few things did not go our way on our wedding day due to weather and time but Melissa immediately had an idea on what to do instead. To add, she’s also an amazing hype woman behind the camera and definitely helped our smiles shine on our wedding day. I would give her 100 stars if I could!!

We ordered plenty and people were grabbing them to take home at the end of the night. A perfect snack after a few beers. Theu were very fast with the samples and the order too!

She was patient, kind, very organized, an excellent listener and brought to together all of our ideas seamlessly. Solange made excellent recommendations along the way proving her depth of experience while helping ensure ours was fun, beautiful, and unique including vendor recs, ceremony flow suggestions, and timeline. She rounded up all the vendors to review contracts and day of timeline and communicated questions and details through to post wedding day. She developed shared documents that helped keep us organized and her in the loop throughout the planning process. She even did some printing for us with a local printer. She checked in with us throughout the wedding planning and on wedding day. I'm sure we threw her some curveballs but she KILLED IT! We have had so many compliments about our wedding and hands down the KEY is having someone like Solange make sure your big day feels easy and magical.

Hey friend, I’m Erica! I am a documentary style destination wedding photographer, based in Seattle! My passion is capturing, true love through my lens. I’ve been professionally photographing weddings for over seven years, and I even grew up in the industry! My mom is a wedding coordinator, and growing up, I fell in love with all things weddings!

We loved working with Erica from our engagement photos to our wedding! She captured our small, mountain elopement in such a magical way. When we look back at the photos, we remember how we felt in that moment because of how well she captured the environment and the details. This is especially impressive considering we got married at sunrise, outside, in the fog/rain on top of a mountain. Our day was very simple and yet it looks almost cinematic in our photos. She has a creative eye for what she does, but is still open to making any ideas you may have come to life. We very much appreciated her knowledge of how to pose us and our guests in photos, as well as her grounded and down-to-earth personality. A wedding photographer is one of the most important purchases you’ll make in your lifetime and I truly believe Erica is well worth the investment! We now have our love story captured in such a beautiful way that we will get to look back on for a lifetime. Thanks Erica!

Awarded Best of Zola
When we started talking about what we wanted out of a wedding, we decided an intimate ceremony was best for us. We wanted to find someone who could capture the little details of our day without the typical "posed" photos. We are so lucky to have come across Josie at Give. We had multiple Facetime conversations with her and from the beginning, we knew she would be great to work with. She was one of those people we just clicked with and immediately understood what we wanted: Her style of photography, her personality, the charitable donations, etc etc. The day of our wedding was super humid (yay Maryland in August), but she did not skip a beat and did not rush us from one point to another - we tried out some posed and "classic" photos but overall she got the "documentary/candid" styles we were looking for. We are so happy with all the photos she took and grateful to have such gorgeous memories to look back on!

I was that person that did not think I needed a wedding planner! I decided last minute I needed one and I had interviewed 4 people and Christena was the only one that made me feel comfortable! Christena helped keep me organized, in control, and confident that I would be able to get through this! She brought things to my attention that I had no clue I needed to do. During the rehearsal dinner she got everyone in line and made sure everyone knew exactly what they were doing. The day of the wedding Christena and her assistant Jill knew literally handled everything from making sure my vision was brought to life, to making sure everything ran accordingly to plan, and making sure all items that were mine were organized and set aside for my family to gather at the end of the night. I cannot sing Christena’s praises enough! You are getting more than a wedding planner with her! If you are on the fence about this do not be, it is the best money well spent!!!

I have been coordinating events for 5+ years and fell in love with the methodical creation that comes from planning each different event. Each event is different and has it's own challenges which makes the entire process that much more exciting.

Their attention to detail and ability to expertly coordinate all aspects of our special day was truly magical - we felt completely stress-free and able to simply enjoy the experience. For example, lead planner Audrei made sure we were on time for every event, and her team went above and beyond to accommodate my elderly, handicapped mother, making sure she could fully participate in all the festivities despite the challenges of our venue.

As someone who doesn't enjoy a lot of makeup, she was very consultative with me during my bridal trial, and understood the balance I was trying to strike between natural, glowy beauty that still felt elevated and special enough for my wedding, without being over the top. She did a great job on the wedding day listening to the bridesmaids and helping them find their ideal look too. She also has amazing range with hair styling and really helped me figure out how to make my hair color shine with my vision for my wedding hair! She did a great job keeping the day on time and efficient, and was calm, cool, collected. She is also so much fun and is a delightful addition to your wedding day.

I just want to start out by saying my fiancé and I are the literal worst when it comes to being in front of a camera. We’re awkward, we’re stiff & we joke too much lol. When looking for a wedding photographer I wanted to find someone of course who had talent and beautiful editing skills but I also wanted to be comfortable, I wanted something personal with my photographer. And boy did I hit the jackpot with Mina! Her skills are INCREDIBLE. Our photos are absolutely stunning and I’ve received so many compliments. Not only that but we received our photos so quickly. A lot of people only give you the bare minimum edited photos but she edited almost every single one!! I absolutely love her to death, she made my fiancé and I feel so comfortable that we were able to open up and I feel like she truly captured who we were. Not only did I secure the best photographer but I’ve also made a lifelong friend. 10/10 recommend

Salt & Ivy was an absolute dream to work with. Highly communicative, professional, punctual, and absolute artists. From booking to receiving the photos, they were so amazing to work with. I (the bride) am typically very uncomfortable taking photographs. This was the first time in my life that I was actually at ease and having fun. 10/10 would and will book them again in the future for family/maternity photographs.

Stanley & Allie

  • Videographer

  • Starts at $4,500
  • Serves Derby, CT for additional fees

My name is Stanley, and usually you’ll see me with my partner and girlfriend, Allie. We’re both huge Disney nerds. We’re also HUGE Marvel fans, Star Wars fans, Doctor Who, you name it, we probably watched it. We basically go to the movies every weekend. We love what we do, and want to make sure that all your memories are captured in every way possible so you can always look back at them. We’re here to make your day easy and fun!

Awarded Best of Zola
Stanley was truly the MOST communicative vendor we worked with throughout this process, from the moment we inquired, to the moment we got our sneak peeks. I always heard back from him usually within minutes (sometimes seconds!), but never longer than an hour or two. I always see the horror stories about brides not receiving their photos or not hearing back, but I never had to worry about that with Stanley. We also got our one minute teaser and about 60(!) sneak peek photos less than 24 hours after our wedding was over (about 1 pm the following day!). I could not believe the speed and they are SO good! His style and Allie’s style is so beautiful and it’s truly bringing our day to life so we will always have physical memories to look back on. Day of, Allie (our main photographer) and Stanley (video) arrived early and got drone shots of the venue and were quick to get to work when they found me in the bridal suite. I had so many photo requests for family photos and they worked fast (despite there being a lot of chatter), and got it all done so quickly. The second shooter (Ryan) was also amazing and had a fun time with my husband and his groomsmen. He also was great at getting shots of some of our family members without us (i.e. my parents, my sister and her family, groom’s parents) so we could be as productive as possible and have family photos, too! We decided to keep them an extra hour (9 hours instead of 8 ) and Stanley came to us about 30 minutes before the end of their service to check since we still had some things in the schedule we hadn’t gotten to yet and had offered and shared the cost to do so. We decided it was worth it and got so many more amazing photos. I cannot wait to see the full album in 8-12 weeks! And I will recommend Stanley and Allie to everyone in the meantime because everyone deserves to have their day captured as beautifully as they did for us!

Deejay Mot Events

  • DJ
  • Starts at $2,500
  • Serves Derby, CT for additional fees

I am here to make sure everyone at your event has a memorable time. I create a custom vibe for every event, no two events are the same. I bring experience and a great attitude to not only make the music part of your special day seamless but also make planning and decision making painless.

Look no further, you should absolutely hire DeeJay Mot as your wedding DJ/MC. I have the opportunity to work with him as a client and as a vendor. I not only trust him for our clients but also for my personal events. As a recent bride, DeeJay Mot had us on the dance floor from the start of the party to the END! We never took a break because the music and vibe was great. I still get comments and compliments from friends and family on how great our DJ was. As a Wedding Planner and Designer we do a lot of weddings with him and it’s always a professional, fun, organized, energetic experience. He is part of our highly vetted preferred vendor list that we share with our clients. Leading to the event, he takes the time to get to know his clients, and pays close attention to the vibe that they want for their wedding/event. On the day of he is always ON TIME, his set up is usually done early enough so when guest arrives he’s ready to go. And when it is time for him to DJ he brings the ENERGY!! Everyone including (grandma) will be on the dance floor. As a recent bride and vendor I highly recommend Deejay Mot. You will not regret it!

I would give Michael John Photography more than 5 stars if I could! From our first phone call, we knew he was the photographer for us. He was very responsive and answered all my questions promptly.
