The Colonial goes above and beyond for their weddings, and we seriously could not have chosen a better venue. They helped make our dream wedding a reality, and our guests still gush to us about how stellar the venue, food, decorations, and the whole night was. Mary, Emily, and Anna did such a fantastic job coordinating and hosting, handling every last detail, and they were so wonderful to work with. We fell in love with the Colonial on our first visit, and it was the best decision we ever made. There are so many wonderful spots for pictures, and the style was exactly what we were hoping for. The food is outstanding and they were so accommodating for any allergies or sensitivities, I truly love that they have a restaurant there as well not only so we can go back to enjoy the food again but also because it was so convenient to have literally everything you could need all in one location. The suites are stunning and huge, and our wedding party definitely enjoyed the sauna/pool/hot tub. They made sure everything was thought of and addressed, which took so much stress off our shoulders so we could instead just enjoy our special day. Truly, we can not thank them enough for how much care and thought they put into our wedding!

We cannot thank Lauryn enough for making our wedding at Harrington Farm unforgettable! As our event specialist, she was with us every step of the way, always just a phone call or email away. When the rain started the moment I got to the altar, Lauryn didn’t hesitate—she ran to get umbrellas for us and our parents, ensuring we stayed dry during such an important moment. Her quick thinking and preparedness in that unexpected situation really highlighted her dedication and care. Throughout the entire process, Lauryn’s communication and attention to detail were remarkable. She had everything we could possibly need on hand during the wedding, prepared for any potential emergency. Thanks to her, our day ran smoothly, and we could relax and enjoy every moment.

It all started with COVID-19—not fully, but pretty much. Before I found my passion for weddings, It was during these intimate ceremonies that I realized wedding photography was what I was truly meant to do. But I’m going to let you in on something I’ve never really shared before—I don't like my wedding photos. I didn't connect with my wedding photographer, I went with the cheaper option and it totally shows in my pictures. That’s why connecting with you, your fiancé, your family, and your friends is so important to me.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Luis and Lionizing Entertainment! From the start of Cocktail Hour to the last dance, our wedding reception was an absolute dream, and we owe so much of that to our incredible DJ. Let me start by saying that finding the right DJ for our big day was a high priority. We searched for quite some time to find the right fit, and we truly struck gold when we found Luis! From our initial consultation to the final song of the night, Luis was an absolute professional. He took the time to understand our music preferences, our unique spacing, and the vibe we wanted for our reception. He even helped us craft the perfect playlist for the evening. During the reception, Luis did a great job of reading the crowd. He knew exactly when to slow things down and when to ramp up, keeping everyone on the dance floor and their energy high throughout the night. Beyond his impeccable musical talents, Luis was also a fantastic MC. He kept the flow of the evening smooth through any last-minute adjustments. In addition to his professionalism and skill, Luis brought an infectious enthusiasm to our reception that was truly contagious. It was clear that they were not just there to do a job, but to ensure that we had the time of our lives, and they succeeded beyond our wildest dreams! The morning of the wedding I had let Luis know that I had forgotten our gift for our Anniversary Dance and that we could just bypass that for our event, but he insisted on helping by picking up a beautiful bouquet for the couple on his way to our event! The dance turned out so perfect with this little addition. If you're looking for a wedding DJ who will truly go above and beyond to make your big day unforgettable, look no further than Luis and Lionizing Entertainment.

The Barn at Blackstone National is an ideal country setting for weddings and celebrations. With its new post and beam barn construction, designed to complement the agricultural history of the community of Sutton, the barn overlooks scenic Blackstone Valley vistas. Whether you are planning an elegant wedding or celebration, or a more casual event, the Barn at Blackstone National is a perfect year-round venue heated and air-conditioned for comfort.

We recently had our wedding in July at The Barn At Blackstone National, and I can't recommend it highly enough. This venue is an absolute gem—what we loved about it most was our ability to fall in love with it by itself, simply stunning even with no decor. The ambiance was both elegant and rustic, creating an unforgettable atmosphere that our guests are still raving about. One of the standout highlights was the food. It was nothing short of amazing, and our guests couldn’t stop complimenting the delicious food. It was presented beautifully, too! Also- the Barn has the BEST chocolate chip cookies you’ll ever taste and I recommend trying them regardless of what you do for your wedding dessert. What truly made our day so seamless and stress-free was our incredible wedding coordinator, Kate (Kate the great or the GOAT as well called her). From start to finish, Kate was phenomenal. Her organizational skills were impeccable, and she paid meticulous attention to every detail, ensuring that everything went off without a hitch. Kate's personable nature and deep knowledge of wedding planning made us feel completely at ease. She was patient and responsive, always ready to address any questions or concerns we had. On the wedding day, she conducted everything flawlessly, allowing us to enjoy every moment with confidence and comfort. We truly are so grateful to have had the opportunity to work with everyone at the Barn, but especially Kate. If you're considering The Barn At Blackstone National for your wedding, and especially if you have the chance to work with Kate, you’re in for a truly exceptional experience. We are incredibly grateful for the beautiful day they helped us create and would recommend them wholeheartedly.

Emily was truly the best to work with and I cannot recommend her highly enough. Emily put such thought and care into the florals for my wedding and it truly showed - the color palette, the composition, the floral varieties were all stunning. Myself and guests were blown away by her work and I can't tell you how many compliments I received on the florals. I could not have been happier with the florals or the experience I had working with Emily. Not only is Emily incredibly talented, she was collaborative and extremely patient as my desires and needs changed throughout the months after we began working together. On our planning call, she was detailed, prepared, and took great feedback to provide me with a thoughtful mood board. Wedding planning can be extremely stressful and Emily was so supportive and calming when I brought up venue related stress points with her. Emily is a true problem solver and worked so hard to make me happy with a solution to an uncontrollable venue related issue. I can’t thank Emily enough for her partnership and beautiful florals that truly set the tone for my wedding!!

I'm Steph, a wanderer at heart, but I'm back to my New England roots living in MA with my husband, and our son, two dogs, and a cat. Becoming a mom has changed me in so many ways, and it's given me a new perspective, especially when it comes to taking photographs. We live in such a fast-paced society focused on Instagram "likes" and trends, that I feel as though we often miss the point of this thing called life. I love capturing the "in-between" moments, and making sure you don't feel rushed on your wedding day. I want to bring back the coffee table photo albums and sharing photos and stories, not scrolling through your socials.

Awarded Best of Zola
My husband and I, and now my whole family, cannot recommend Stephannie enough. We have worked with her for years now, for all different types of shoots and there’s a reason we keep coming back. Steph is so kind, and she is the for you on your day in whatever capacity you need in addition to wearing her photographer hat. And to top it all off she takes INCREDIBLE photos to boot! She does such a wonderful job capturing everyone’s emotions in the moment, without posing folks, and without being intrusive. We’ve had Steph do our engagement, our wedding, a couples session, and most recently brought her back for family photos. She is truly an incredible human being that you will want to work with repeatedly and I wouldn’t be surprised if you become fast friends through it all.

At Life Through a Shutter Photography, our goal is to preserve memories and emotions that will last a lifetime. We approach our work with empathy, care and attention to detail, ensuring that each client has a personal and enjoyable experience. Sure, looks are important... I dig deeper than just what appears on the outside, I find those raw emotions and capture the connection in real time. What matters most when you look back at an image is being able to relive that emotion, what you felt in that exact moment, and hang on to that feeling. That's the real reason why photos last a lifetime and say a million words. Emotion!

Alysha is the definition of professionalism and expertise while working with me on our shoot. Her level of direction and detail made my whole experience that much better. The pre-planning of the shoot was concise and creative. She had great content and prop ideas, and asked all the right questions to be prepared for the day. I found Alysha able to work more efficiently and precisely than other photographers I’ve used before, and she was intuitive and knowledgeable. My engagement photos are everything I wanted and MORE! Editing the style I wanted was a huge bonus! She’s open to any idea and theme. I am so pleased with the photographs, and would highly recommend her. I am already planning another shoot!!

For the day of, she did mine as well as my Bridal parties hair and not only was she professional the entire time, bur also my hair came out perfect once again and all my bridesmaids were over the moon about their styles. She is very talented! Highly recommended!

I started photographing weddings in 2017. I originally got my first camera to photograph landscapes- National Parks specifically. But the second the camera was in my hands, I was immediately drawn to photographing connections between people. Since that moment I haven't hesitated while my heart led me in the direction of wedding and elopement photography! I love documenting the in-between, unprompted moments; the subtle way your partner glances over at you with a side smile when you're not paying attention, the groom fiddling with his new ring, and the uncontrollable laughter when you're melting into each other during your couple's photos.

We had the pleasure of having Tammy shoot our engagement photos, as well as our entire wedding day. As many others have stated, we would highly recommend her for not only her gorgeous photos but for her relaxed and personable style. Throughout the entire process Tammy communicated with us to be sure she was giving us exactly what we were looking for in terms of style/structure. The day of our engagement shoot, we had unexpected weather but thankfully she was flexible and responsive in moving the time for our shoot to accommodate the unexpected rain. Despite the fact it was cold and rainy, she happily worked with us to get all (plus more) of the photos we were expecting. Between both our wedding and engagement shoots, Tammy did a fantastic job working in all of the ideas we had envisioned. We had to downsize our wedding and had plenty of unexpected restrictions due to Covid but Tammy continued to help support making our day special. We would recommend Tammy to anyone looking for beautiful, candid, relaxed yet fun photos and we look forward to future opportunities of working with her!

Audrey and Cody were amazing!! I would recommend them to anyone planning a wedding. From start to finish, we never had one worry about how our pictures would turn out (and we could not be happier with the end result!). We met with Audrey and Cody first to do our engagement session and immediately felt at ease (during somewhat of an awkward experience as neither my husband or I love being in front of the camera!) Audrey and Cody took time to get to know us, what we wanted, and made the day enjoyable. Every time we met with them, they put our wants and thoughts first but, were also great in helping us narrow down a timeline and organize wedding details we were unsure about. They day of the wedding they were organized, helpful, and professional. My favorite part was how they told us to spend a little time “just us” in between the ceremony and reception. It was so thoughtful of a photographer not only to be thinking of how to get the right shot, but also other little things to make for a perfect day.

One of the biggest things our guests told us before the wedding was that they wanted to DANCE as much as possible. We also knew a DJ can make or break the vibe of the reception. Michael was awesome! He made the whole process leading up to the wedding easy and he kept our dance floor packed all night. He played something for every generation in attendance as was very in-tune with what people wanted to hear and when they needed a break. Far beyond your average mediocre wedding DJ. Would absolutely work with Michael again for future events.
