Awarded Best of Zola
Carol brought my cake dreams to life! She was super communicative throughout the entire process and truly cared about my vision. The cake tasting process was seamless and all of the cake flavors I tasted were extraordinary. My husband who doesn’t even like cake was obsessed with how light and airy the cake was and flavorful the frosting and fillings were. We had a stunning 2-tier mini tall cake and 48 cupcakes and all were executed with such care. The cupcakes were so moist and flavorful and the same with the cake. I’ve never seen the cake at a wedding disappear so fast, my guests loved it all. The design was better than I even imagined and I’m so grateful for Carol and all the care she put into giving me the most special cake and cupcakes. She is a true artist, in flavor and design! And I work in the culinary industry, my standards are super super high. You won’t regret working with Carol for your wedding.

Kaity Campbell Weddings & Events LLC

  • Planner
  • Offers 6 services
  • Starts at $50
  • Serves East Hartford, 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.

Weddings by Hanel (pronounced like Chanel without a c) is a wedding photo & video studio creatively blending artistic photojournalism with beautiful portraiture. Our philosophy for photographing weddings is based on the belief that the most important part of our job is telling your story as beautifully as the story itself. Everything else is secondary. With hundreds of weddings under our belts, my team and I have been a part of weddings of all colors, sizes, and locations. Our destination weddings have taken them to some incredible locations, including Hawaii, Korea, and Aruba.

Awarded Best of Zola
We booked Hanel for both our engagement shoot and wedding. We cannot say anymore great things about him. His email responses were timely, thorough and it was incredibly easy to set up time to meet with him to discuss his and our visions. My husband and I are not camera people in the slightest, and often make silly faces in order to balance our awkwardness. However, Hanel and his assistant made us feel at ease during both shoots, and gave easy directions for us to follow throughout that ultimately made us feel confident and comfortable in front of the camera. They were so welcoming/friendly, and we felt like we were just hanging out with our friends for the day. Hanel was able to handle the chaos that were my family and friends on the wedding day, and easily navigated all the different groupings for photos the day of with immense ease. He kept to our wedding timeline without making us feel rushed. Our photos were sent back to us quickly after a month, and they were absolutely gorgeous. I had never felt so beautiful in my life (neither has my husband) and Hanel was able to capture those feelings forever for us. Thank you again for everything Hanel.

We had done our originial trial in April, but I had a spray tan just two days prior to the wedding, and she expertly adjusted the colors for my wedding day to ensure everything was perfectly matched with my new skin tone. She walked me through every step of what she was doing, which made me feel completely at ease and confident in her work. She even had a few recommendations, that I quickly took her up on based on her years of experience.

Festivity's films are fun, joyful and often fast paced, though we do enjoy a good romantic flick, too. We like to find the humorous moments, and we thrive on action, working to be there in the unexpected as well as pre-planned moments. We've got about a decade of experience under our belts capturing and editing wedding footage, first for other companies, and for the past six years for our own. Shooting wedding films is stressful, but amazingly rewarding when a couple tells us that they love the film and will treasure it and share it with existing and future family and friends.

Katya and Jenny were so great to work with. I highly recommend them. We got married in Maine but we live in Massachusetts so finding vendors was a challenge, given that we couldn't sit down with them. Katya and Jenny made a point to have a Zoom meeting with us so they could meet us and see what kind of couple we were. They answered all of our questions and always communicated with us up to the wedding and beyond. They arrived to our venue promptly and captured every moment without being intrusive. We received our video very quickly and they even went back and added a few moments for us after the fact. Our video came out beautiful. I'm so happy we decided to have a videographer and moreover that we were able to work with such a great team.

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 can’t thank Katie enough! We heard about Katie’s services through a friend and are so thankful that we did! We were unsure if we could afford a videographer but Katie’s prices and packages were so affordable! I can’t express how much our videos mean to us. Not only are the videos high quality, but Katie delivered them to us so quickly! Katie was so down to earth that when we met for the first time (on our wedding day!), I felt like I had known her for years! It was so great to have her there celebrating with us and capturing our day! Katie gave us SO much footage from our day and we are so thankful to have it to look back on. Do not hesitate to reach out to her about your special day. :)

Hey!! Congratulations and I'm so excited you're here! My name's Lissa (pronounced "Lyss-uh") and photographs are my jam! Also my jam? Bright colors, the lamest jokes, floral everything, weird history, and awesome ghost stories. I'm a total mother hen / perpetual big sister and I'm mom to Max, Henry, and Penelope. I love creating. I garden. I sew. I crochet. I design ridiculously cute tee shirts. But most of all? I freaking love creating photographs. A professional photographer since 2011 (eek!), my photographs are bright, happy, and totally meant to hit you in the feels. But most of all? They're a total party!

It was such a pleasure having Lissa as the photographer for our wedding. She has taken several photos for me and my family throughout the years, and each time the photos have always been exactly what we wanted. Her photos are vibrant, full of color, and full of feeling. Lissa was sure to respond quickly to contracts, questions, and provided information in a timely manner. She listened to our desires and concerns, and when needed she provided feedback that helped us feel more comfortable and excited to work with her. She is incredibly easy to work with her. She was flexible with any photo requests that came up in the moment, and she guided and directed us for other shots she felt would turn out well when we weren't sure what to do next. She was professional and courteous to all of our wedding guests and yet always made sure to prioritize our (the bride and groom) desires and time as opposed to the rest of our wedding party. She had a happy, yet focused disposition while working with us. That focus was evident in the BEAUTIFUL pictures she took. She perfectly captured our joy that day. Turnaround time was better than expected, and we couldn't be happier with the results. We have no regrets with our choice of wedding photographer. She's amazing!

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 happy and excited and answered all of our questions and it gave us such a sense of ease. I never once had to worry and 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 worked with me on some odd family and friend dynamics and eliminated any worries I had. She did a fantastic job of 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.

Her quality of work is exquisite and her years of experience show in her attention to details. I will always be grateful for her work in asking Graeme Park to be a part of Wish Upon a Wedding and to now call her my friend. I hope we see more of Wendy at our weddings because I know the couple will be in good and knowledgeable hands.

Stephanie captured our day perfectly! Our love really shined through in every photograph. Stephanie was very fun to work with and she catered to all of our photography preferences and took all the shots we were hoping to get. It was clear she knew how to adapt to new settings, lighting, and the different personalities of our wedding party, family, and friends. Her time management was spot on and she guided us through the whole hour after the ceremony where you take most of your portraits - a time that feels super rushed and time is of the essence - but she helped us feel calm and be present. Overall, a very pleasant experience and we will treasure our wedding photographs for many years to come.

Words can't describe how thankful I am to have had Jess and Jackie on my wedding day!!! Our day wouldn't have nearly gone as smoothly without them. They truly embraced the day and put all their energy into knowing inside and out our timeline, every detail, our vendors and our bridal party. I (the bride) was able to go about my entire day without having to worry about a single thing because they were taking the lead and handling it all. 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. All my expectations for the day that I had talked with them the months prior to our wedding were met and exceeded. There were only a few small bumps to the day and they immediately diffused the situation and quickly resolved it, all while being so kind and professional. These two allowed me to be completely present on my day and blocked out all the noise for me and I can't thank them enough for that. I will forever be grateful for Jess and Jackie and I highly recommend you book them ASAP!!!

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.

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.

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!

Chis is the absolute best, he captured the beauty and emotions of our Wedding Day and truly helped to make it our dream day! Chris was amazing from the first introduction meeting, to the engagement session, prepping for the big day, spending the entire wedding day with him and his team by your side, and even after when picking prints and album options. Chris became one of our favorite people! He and my husband are practically besties at this point! His patience and guidance is so helpful throughout the process. He’s incredibly professional and communicative, and the work he provides is absolutely immaculate. Even with timeline conflicts he adapted and worked with our coordinator to adjust accordingly while giving us the time and stress free environment to enjoy our day. It absolutely poured rain on our day and they captured the beauty of a less than ideal scenario. He gave us nearly 2,000 edited and finished photos from our engagement session and our 9-hour wedding day. They’re all absolutely stunning!! It makes it difficult to narrow it down for the wedding album, but he does provide the option for a curator to build you album if you just can’t decide!

RHB Images is a safe and welcoming environment for individuals of all sexual orientations, gender identities, and expressions.

After enduring a year and a half of long distance and therefore not having any recent photos as a couple, we decided it would be smart to come some as we started our new chapter in NYC! I reached out to Riley, because I had followed her and her work for a while and we got something on the books. Not only was she so incredibly flexible and easy to book with but also has such an intentional and thoughtful process in which we had the opportunity to write and share details about our relationship that would help inform our shoot with her. Closer to the date she sent a vision board and plan and then when shoot day rolled around it was absolutely amazing and a breeze! Her energy and vision is unparalleled and she even got us sneaks later that evening! The gallery is perfect and stunning. Super natural and documentary style.
