I love spending the day documenting the story of your love and special moments with those closest do you. My photographic style is to photograph in a non intrusive way so I can capture the magic of the day as it unfolds with candids and minimal directed posing.

I recently got engaged and did my engagement shoot with Tarren. I cannot recommend her enough! She is ready to work with what ever photography ideas you have but also has so many great suggestions. She captured so many beautiful shots and many of them with my fiancé smiling (which is hard to do!). And was open to any location and time we wanted. I cannot wait to work with her and Sam on my wedding day because I know she will be able to capture so many amazing moments for us to look back on in the future.

At HairstylesCo., we understand that your wedding day is the most important day of your life, and we are here to ensure that you look absolutely stunning. With our team of stylists, we guarantee a personalized experience that will leave you feeling confident and beautiful. We specialize in creating Pinterest-worthy hairstyles that will have all eyes on you. From romantic updos to flowing waves, our stylists are trained to cater to your unique taste and vision. With over a decade of experience, our team has mastered the art of hairstyling. We pay meticulous attention to detail, ensuring that every strand of hair is perfectly in place.

Meg's work speaks for itself - she is so talented at what she does! She was amazing to work with from the first time I reached out to her to the big day. I sent over some ideas prior to my hair trial and after sharing a picture of my dress, she helped me pick the perfect style to match it. It made the trail so easy and minimal changes had to be made to achieve the perfect look. On the big day, she was on time, professional, and so much fun to work with. My hair tends to get frizzy very easily when it's down (in this case half down), but she made sure it stayed looking amazing all night long, despite lots of dancing and even some rain in the evening. I cannot say enough good things about her! She's so talented and made me feel so beautiful on my wedding day. I highly recommend her to everyone and anyone looking for a hairstylist for their wedding!

I'm a Vermont-based photographer that specializes in weddings, families, and seniors. Why? Because there’s nothing quite like feeling the exhilarating energy, gentle love, and infinite kindness within a family.

Julie/Maple Leaf Photography was an absolute joy to work with for our wedding photography. Her communication style is easygoing yet direct, and she clearly knows her craft inside and out. Julie was very attentive to detail throughout the process - she gave us clear, quick instructions to keep things moving smoothly on our big day. She deeply values capturing high quality photos, and her passion and skill truly shined through in the final products that beautifully encapsulated special moments from our wedding. Some examples that stood out: Julie has a knack for keeping subjects comfortable and collected amidst the hustle and bustle of a hectic wedding day. She always comes fully prepared for anything unexpected. And she has a special eye for finding and framing gorgeous shots. I couldn't recommend Maple Leaf Photography highly enough for wedding photography services!

  • Serves Derby, CT

I reside in Jersey City, New Jersey, serving New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, and beyond. I grew up surrounded by family photos. My parents had a professional photography business, Infinity Photography, back in the days of film. My friend asked me to do her senior portraits, so I started my photography business after my parent's business was closed for nearly 20 years. Fun fact, I chose "Grey" because I'm a nerd, and I love Jean Grey - she's my fave X-men. Also, my name is hard to spell, especially when you hear it. It's like "Leah" with a "Tuh."

Taliya gave us the absolute best wedding photography experience. She was extremely professional and quick to answer any questions at any point along the way. She made sure every detail was arranged before hand so there were 0 surprises along the way and day of. Not to mention that the photos turned out phenomenal. She was great at posing and framing to get the best shots and made sure that everything got pictured and captured from our special day. Would recommend 100%

Hello, I'm Tonya. I am a documentary wedding, boudoir & lifestyle photographer with an editorial approach based in Fairfield County, Connecticut. At the heart of my work, you will find authentic connection & composition, some of the most important things to me as an artist. I build on that with honest storytelling with a more editorial approach. My inspiration lies in authentic human connection & emotions, pockets of light, vintage film, movement, honest interactions, vibrant colors found in nature, fog after a rainfall. Finding beauty in the most ordinary things.

Tonya's work is unbelievable. The fog that rolled in for our ceremony made it hard to see just a few feet in front of us, but her pictures came out stunning. She's a great communicator, detail-oriented and really made us feel comfortable in front of the camera. She sent us a day-of timeline and helped plan out what photos we would like in advance. We got back a preview album sent to us like 2 days after our wedding! We also did an engagement shoot with her before our wedding, which really made us excited for our big day.

We wanted to use him for one of his other services because we were so thankful for winning the photo booth. He just started in the wedding industry not too long ago, but he is an absolute dream to work with !! Even with eveything changing with COVID he has stayed consistent. Having our zoom meetings with him actually got me excited for our wedding again that we had in January. I was always able to reach him if I had any questions. My favorite thing was he worked with us and our budget. He would listen to everything that was impotent to us and what we wanted in the video.

I am jumping into my 8th bridal season and am more passionate about it than ever before! Self-proclaimed selfie queen, instagram addict, social media connoisseur, skincare obsessor, pro chit chatter, youtube veteran, og beauty lover, and bridal magician.

Nikki is the BEST! It was so easy to start working with her, and I did her pre-wedding facial package for brides that she offers which was great. My trial was great, and I was happy to pull up photos/videos of her prior work that definitely helped in guiding our convo before she got to work on my look. It goes without saying, but she is sooo talented as a MUA. In all of my appointments with her I NEVER felt like she was rushing--she really takes her time which is so appreciated. On the day of the wedding I offered some thoughts on minor adjustments I wanted from the trial, and she applied them EXACTLY. All of my bridesmaids (a good amount of which don't normally get makeup done) were obsessed with their makeup, and even after dancing through the whole night it still looked great. I can't recommend working with Nikki enough!!!

She has immense industry experience and only works with the best vendors out there.

Farm Couture Flowers is the design studio at Muddy Feet Flower Farm. I grow over 100 varieties of cut flowers from April through November and incorporate them into lush garden-style arrangements and bouquets.

Where to begin? Kristin is an artist. In the age of insane wedding Pinterest boards and over-planning every detail, we gladly handed the floral design and aesthetics over to Kristin. She uses her own flowers from her farm, so she's both local and sustainable, and if you're interested in supporting a small, woman-owned business, this is the way to go. We trusted her direction and expertise and it was the best decision we could have made. When we walked into our venue on the day-of, we were both floored. It was so much better than I could have even imagined; we received so many sincere compliments from guests. Our wedding photographer said he thought they were the best wedding flowers he'd seen. The floral design was original, organic, and creative, and the greenery was gorgeous. If you choose Kristin as your florist, trust her to lead the way. It'll be better than anything you could have imagined!

As the owner and lead planner, I am driven by a deep sense of energy and focus that I bring to work every day. My clients become a part of the Beckerman family whom I wholeheartedly care for. My journey in event planning began 9 years ago after completing my undergraduate degree in event planning and hospitality management, along with a minor in business and law. Later, I earned a master's degree in business and project management, which has helped me to gain a comprehensive understanding of planning.

From the moment we enlisted Beckerman House of Planning back in the fall of 2021, Garbriella’s detailed management and meticulous planning truly set her apart. In addition to her event planning background she holds a Master of Business and Project Management which shows through in everything she touches. I instantly connected with Garbriella’s level-headed and calm approach. In the months and weeks leading up to the wedding, she flawlessly orchestrated every aspect, from finalizing vendor contracts to creating a comprehensive timeline. Gabriella was very organized and proactive to ensure every element aligned with our vision. I was very much a DIY bride in all aspects of design, vendor sourcing, stationary, tablescapes, and details. Leading up to the wedding, she was a fantastic sounding board and stragetic partner. She reviewed contracts to ensure the scope was covered and also reviewed and provided feedback on our overall budget allocations. During the event, she made the process smooth and enjoyable from working with my sister to bustle my dress, to relighting candles that had blown out, coordinating with the venue and vendors, to boxing and hand delivering our cake to the hotel…no detail was too small for Garbriella to think about. Garbriella was integral in making all of my DIY ideas and designs come to life. She meticulously set up all of our centerpieces and accents. After the wedding, Garbriella carefully packed up all of our items for us to bring home. Beckerman House of Planning not only executed the logistics seamlessly but also went above and beyond, offering thoughtful suggestions along the way that enhanced the overall experience and demonstrating a commitment that truly exceeded our expectations. I would highly recommend Beckerman House of Planning for coordination and/or planning needs for future couples!

She made that day even more special, and having her take our photos for the next hour after saying “yes” was the perfect way to celebrate. We immediately hired her to shoot our engagement session to compile photos for our save the dates, invitations, and wedding website. She traveled into Manhattan for us and created the most fairytale and dreamlike photo shoot all around the most picturesque places in Central Park!

Regina and her husband were absolutely amazing! I can't say enough how thankful I am that I chose them to do my wedding. Not only are they the sweetest people and so easy to work with, but my photos are absolutely stunning. I keep getting comments from all my family and friends about how beautiful the photos look. I already have some friends that are getting married ask about her because they loved the photos so much. Photos are important because they really capture the moments that you want to remember forever and I have had some friends that did not get great photos at their weddings. It is important to choose someone that is really going to capture the moments, take amazing pictures AND someone who makes you feel comfortable. They are the perfect mixture of professional and friendly. You have to choose Regina & her husband and I promise you will be SO thankful you did.

Let me tell y’all - we had our wedding in a state we don’t live in, so it was very much a “trust the process and trust our vendors” kind of situation. Drew came THROUGH!!! She was so patient with us and made sure we had exactly what we wanted for our wedding cake, and oh my goodness was it delicious! My spouse and I had never eaten a wedding cake that 1) tasted so good, or 2) was that fluffy and moist. We were also able to get some allergy-friendly cupcakes, and they tasted exactly like the rest of the cake. We’re so glad we trusted Drew with our wedding cake and hope we have a reason to get a cake from them again soon!!

When i was young, my dream was to be a filmmaker and musician. The art of visual storytelling was captivating to me. When the right image, message, and music collide, it’s pure magic. After high school i moved across the country to pursue a music career. 4 albums, 13 countries, and 100’s of shows later i found myself wanting to be behind the camera, rather than in front. Filmmaking gave me the chance to express myself, while capturing once in a lifetime moments. I had once again fallen in love with storytelling. It’s never JUST a photo or video clip. It’s real people, real emotion, seen through a perspective that otherwise wouldn’t exist.

Josh & Jenny flew all the way down to Tulum on such short notice to shoot our wedding for us. They were fun, energetic, got along with all of our family & friends! They made us feel comfortable and stress free on our big day. We couldn’t have asked for a better duo to collect our memories on film.

Video exists in my life as an extension of everything I love about photography. Something drew me to it, and with the ever expanding video modes of my photo cameras, practice became commonplace. Being able to tell storying audibly as well as visually adds a level of depth that is hard to reach within photography. You can feel the story take you through a place in time. Moment capturing in all its beauty.

I have worked with Alex many times over the years. He is always professional, easy to work with, and very down to earth. He is a great communicator for when he needs to be away from the main location to capture those special photos of the couple or family, such as sunset pics or other special spots. Looking forward to working with him again soon!!

I pay attention to detail and like to make sure everything is looking as it should when it comes to the bar and your drink. When choosing our "Make it Personal" package we can work together to create a unique cocktail menu for your special day.

We hired Keagan from Mr. Paradiso for my brother and sister-in-law’s wedding, and we couldn’t have been more thrilled with the service. From the moment we contacted him, the communication was seamless and he was incredibly accommodating to our requests. On the day of the wedding, the bartender arrived promptly, set up quickly, and immediately began serving our guests with a smile. The drink menu he helped us create was a hit, with a perfect mix of classic cocktails and unique, signature drinks that everyone loved. Our guests raved about the quality of the drinks and the friendly, professional service they received all night long. The bartender’s knowledge and resourcefulness really shone through, making the whole experience smooth and enjoyable. We also appreciated his attention to detail and how he expertly managed everything from start to finish. It allowed us to relax and enjoy the celebration without any worries. We highly recommend Mr. Paradiso for any event – their service truly elevated the big day. Thank you for making the night unforgettable!

I met Jamie while he was DJing at a venue in Manhattan many moons ago. I was immediately pleased with the music he chose and went up to the booth and we got to talking about music and art. He was so easy going and truly in tune with the beat of the venue. We kept in touch and I then went to several more of his venues where he was DJing with friends and also with my (now) husband. When we decided to get married and keep it really small our one must-have was excellent music because we love dancing but are not fans of standard wedding DJ music. I immediately contacted Jamie and on short notice he was able to schedule a meeting with us to discuss our needs. Jamie came prepared with a list of questions and helped us work through the different moods we wanted to set and organized the music choices. We gave him some ideas and he did the legwork of deciding what specific songs would lead into each of the unique parts of a wedding and reception (dancing, eating, more dancing, only the young people dancing, etc.). To this day my husband and I talk about how much fun we had at our wedding and how we were really able to make every piece of it ours - right down to the music that was not pulled off some Billboard chart but that truly reflected us and the people in our lives. In fact Jamie was so great the venue asked if he would be willing to come back and DJ some of their future events :)

Working with Terrease was an absolute delight! She added such grace to our event! She was able to customize one of her packages to suit our needs for our day. She learned a song- creating her own arrangement for the song and it came out beautifully! Our guests were raving over her unique selection of songs!

Emily's Catering was an extraordinary part of our wedding day at South Farms in Morris, CT. Rick and his team handled everything wonderfully; They were organized, prompt, responsive, enthusiastic, creative, and VERY well-priced. Because we decided not to hire a planner, it was crucial that we retain vendors who could operate self-sufficiently, and Emily's truly went above and beyond in every respect. They even accommodated serving my husband's home-brew, including making wood signs for us as a surprise. My husband and I still talk about how much we loved and appreciated them, and we enthusiastically recommend them to anyone seeking the perfect caterer for their wedding.

Awarded Best of Zola
Business Time didn’t ask us to write a review, but we’re so excited to write one and want everyone considering booking them to know how amazing they are (understatement). They’re not a typical wedding band, and we knew their style and songs were the vibe we wanted. Easily one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. We had planned a 200 person wedding but had to pivot to 25 because of COVID. Mark and the guys were the kindest humans alive, accommodating us and being flexible with every phone call and change in plans. They never badgered us about making decisions, were super responsive, and went with the flow. We looked forward to every call with Mark. They made it so easy and it was one less thing for us to stress over during an already emotional year of planning. From the cocktail music to dinner music to the main performance, they were a huge reason the wedding was so fun and memorable. In fact, my husband and I (and our guests!) begged them to stay an hour past their scheduled stopping time - we were willing to pay whatever they wanted they were so good!! We just didn’t want the night to end. (For those wondering, they so kindly did and it was the best money we ever spent!) I literally lost half my voice that night and left the dance floor *maybe* once. Even days later all our guests are still raving about how amazing Business Time was. We legit would get married again just to have them perform again. SO FUN!!! Honestly more fun than a lot of concerts we’ve been to, and not just saying that because it was our wedding. Book them now before they get famous and on the cover of Rolling Stone! Thank you Business Time - your kindness and willingness to go the extra mile could make me cry (and actually has). You’ve now got the biggest fans from Chicago!! Anne & Johnny
