Made up of a team of experienced (and pretty cool) photographers and videographers, our Brooklyn-based studio believes that transparency is key when it comes to finding the right photographer and video team for your big day! We won't ask you a bunch of questions about your wedding guest count and venue location to try to figure out how much we can charge you or BS you about what you will receive and try to get more money out of you when it's time to get your photos. Instead, our pricing is listed on our website and can be customized through our unique build-your-own-package tool allowing you to stay in control of your budget!

Green Apple Weddings & Events

  • Serves Marion, CT

After fifteen years in theatre and television production, Kate O’Donnell Diaz discovered a love for planning events but wanted to do so with a different approach from what other planners were taking. Kate desired to help couples cultivate weddings that truly reflected them and not just what bridal magazines, their future mother-in-law or high school frenemy said they just HAD to do. The literal and financial waste she witnessed going into weddings because of something “someone” said the couple HAD to have made Kate feel incredibly uncomfortable. Kate saw a need for a more eco-friendly approach to event planning.

Awarded Best of Zola
We never expected to have the perfect wedding, but thanks to Kate and Jen/Green Apple, we truly had the perfect wedding for us. It was more than we could have ever dreamed of, and Kate and Jen made the process so easy. Between choosing the venue, picking the band, dealing with COVID uncertainties, actually running the show the day of, and a million other things, they were always responsive, patient, and so much fun to work with. It’s hard to know what the perfect wedding will look like ahead of time, and although we had some vague general ideas and a couple weirdly specific requests, we weren’t really sure about how it would all come together. Kate and Jen took the time to listen to us, giving us formal questions and plenty of their time to talk things out informally. It felt like they immediately got what we were saying and had ideas about how to make our wedding come to life. They were honest when they thought something might not work, and creative when we were trying to come up with solutions to an issue. All of that was so important because it could often feel really hard to plan a wedding while managing two busy careers and everything else in our lives, and it was so reassuring to know we had them making sure everything was on track. Their experience and their willingness to get to know us made everything come together that whole weekend in a way we’ll never forget. The best part about working with Kate and Jen is how much they clearly LOVE what they do, and truly feel invested in the couples that they are planning with. This really does not feel like just a job to them, and we felt so supported throughout by their warm and personal approach. We genuinely miss them so much already, and it's only been a month since our wedding.

After graduating from Parson's School of Art in Manhattan, I worked as a fine artist, my work involved photography and photo manipulation. I quickly discovered that I loved and excelled at photo retouching, and went on to work for some of the best photo retouching studios in New York. In 2009 I shot my first wedding, it was a dear friend of mine and the beautiful photos were featured in one of the biggest wedding magazines. I realized that I had found my calling and have been producing stunning wedding photographs with my amazing team and clients ever since.

Emma Cleary and her team have been phenomenal to work with. Emma responds to e-mails quickly & has provided useful feedback throughout this process. When we had to change our reception date due to COVID, she worked with us to ensure that the dates aligned. Massimo (photographer) and Edison (videographer) have been amazing to work with and they shot our micro wedding. Planning a wedding during a pandemic is stressful, but Emma and her team made this process a seamless. The photos and videos are beautiful and we will treasure them. Thank you again! We look forward to using this team for our future reception in 2021!

John is incredible. We were on the fence about having a videographer or not. I came across his info on a Facebook wedding group and decided to check out his work. After reviewing his website, I decided to reach out to him about his rates and some questions I had. We ended up doing his 6 hour package, and also customized it so we could get all of our raw footage. His pricing is extremely fair and we loved being able to get a highlight video and the raw footage with our first choice package. Hiring John for our wedding was one of the best decisions we made. Our highlight video is absolutely amazing. It shows our story and our relationship perfectly. He incorporated exactly what we asked him to. Our family and friends love the highlight video he created for us, too. Not only do we love it, but he delivered it just six business days after our wedding!!!

I connect best with couples who might include their dog in the ceremony, make their day uniquely theirs, and don't sweat the small stuff. A jar of wildflowers is as interesting to me as a perfectly crafted orchid bouquet. I love documenting the small moments and details, and I see beauty everywhere on a wedding day. My face always hurts from smiling so much on my drive home! I know how to take charge for posed portraits (and always do some!) but I prefer to capture moments as they happen. I've been a photographer full-time for over fifteen years.

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!!

Born and raised in Maine, I dream of one day retiring there by the sea, like a real life Miss Rumphius. But until then, I live just outside of Boston with my husband and our three cats. I'm married to my high school sweetheart, but we waited more than a decade before saying our own vows. Sometimes (okay, often) I eat cake for breakfast, so you can always count on me to help taste test yours. If I'm not photographing people in love, I'm probably enjoying a glass (bottle) of champagne on the couch or planning my next adventure. I believe everything is better by the ocean and you should never wait to explore the world.

As a wedding planner, I work with a lot of photographers, and Kendra remains one of my all-time favorites to know and work with. She is organized and professional, puts all of her couples at ease, and above all else, her work is stunning. The way she captures color, emotion, and details - plus all of the candid moments - is so special and can be hard to come by! I recommend Kendra to all of my couples, and everyone that knows her feels an immediate connection. She's one of those people that feels like an old friend right away, and is so good at making everyone around her feel comfortable and supported.

Working and planning with Trevauhn was really fun. I was able to create a custom photo package with him that suited my needs and budget - please reach out to him, you will NOT be disappointed. I showed him samples of other wedding photography that I liked, and told him what I wanted and didn't want, and he heard me and made sure we got the shots I wanted, in the style I wanted. He also provided almost half of the photos electronically (if not more) the NEXT DAY. He stayed later than contracted, and really went above and beyond for us.

I grew up with family members that DJ'd most of my family's weddings CA. But since I got married in PA they weren't really an option and to be honest I am glad they weren't. Stefan was incredibly professional, detailed, and fun to work with. He was so flexible with all the things we had going on. He helped me immensely to ensure that everything was timed well throughout the day. He was a perfect MC, had amazing sound equipment. And more importantly played DOPE A** music. My husband is a skater at heart and so he loves the classic early 2000 music like Mr. Brightside. So much so that he had a whole list of songs he wanted Stefan to play in a series. And Stefan DELIVERED. the entire crowd was pumped up by the songs and it made the whole night that much more amazing. When I say that DJ Stefan is worth every penny I mean it. EVERY PENNY. You will not be disappointed and neither would your guests. Worry free, awesome music, that's where it is at. Thank you Stefan!!!!!!

Our style is artistic and documentary, and can be described in three words; Sincere, Scenic, and Inspirational. Sincere, we will never ask you to act unnaturally in front of our camera; we will adjust to your personalities and photograph you as you are. Scenic, because we love beautiful landscapes and love to incorporate everyone in such environments. Inspirational, because there is always a new way or a new idea to capture a photo but in the end it's capturing that special moment.

Sam did an incredible job capturing our wedding photos! Their creativity and attention to detail made every moment feel special. Sam had a fantastic ability to make us feel comfortable and relaxed, resulting in natural, candid shots that truly reflected our love. The composition and lighting were perfect, and every photo felt like a work of art. We couldn’t be happier with the experience and the stunning memories Sam created for us!

Hi there! I’m Daniel Martinez, and I’m thrilled to connect with you! My passion for photography ignited at just 14 years old, and I’ve been dedicated to this creative journey ever since. With a decade of experience in wedding photography, I’ve had the joy of working with fantastic publications like ESPN, PDN, and The New York Times. I focus on a documentary style, capturing genuine, candid moments that tell your unique story. My goal is to create a relaxed atmosphere, allowing you to fully enjoy your special day while I document the heartfelt connections between you and your loved ones. I’d love to chat!

Danny was such a pleasure to work with. He checked off all boxes of the traditional shots of us and the whole wedding party, and portrait shots of us during first look's, but also captured moments and journalistic style shots throughout the night that really showed our personalities. When we showed interest in doing "light painting" effect photos for some of the fun late-night shots, he dove right in. The first set of photos that he delivered to us the day after the wedding were awesome - I can't wait to see all of the final shots. Danny is an artist and it's clear in his work.

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.

Tammy, there is not enough praise in this world for what you deserve for truly creating the most magical elopement day. From the moment we started talking, Tammy filled our imagination with ideas, plans and picture locations to help make our wedding special. She did not hesitate when we decided to elope in Acadia National Park and sent over research and location ideas of where to hold our ceremony. She was attentive to the details that were most important to us and really allowed us to create our perfect day. Not only did she help plan our elopement day but day of she arrived early and was able to help create the excitement and long lasting memories. With her creative eye, she found the most perfect spot for us to have our first look. With great skill, she professionally moved the wedding party along to be to stay true to the ceremony timeline and the National Park entrance time (which is a feat to coordinate 7 guests, a dog and a bus driver). With not having a wedding planner (or any guest focused on timeline) it was so helpful to have Tammy to take charge and gather the group. Lastly, but certainly not least, she made us feel comfortable in front of the camera. We dont normally enjoy being the center of attention, she had us move naturally and cued us to be confident in front of the camera. With her upbeat personality and lots of laughs, the pictures captured our excitement and love while we eloped. She didn’t hesitate for a second when we asked for our dog to be in almost every picture us and was able to capture. She read my mind as taking pictures from different angles and of the landscape around us. Thank you Tammy for making our dream surprise elopement a reality! Not only was it the most perfect day, but now we have pictures that capture the emotions and celebration of our wedding!

You’ve seen wedding bands before. But you’ve never seen one like us. Our wedding nights are, in a word, unforgettable. We specialize in epic dance hits, teary-eyed singalongs, and everything in between. Book us for your event and you'll get our award-winning Boston Wedding Band & DJ combo, PLUS our professional sound and stage lighting system at one simple rate, with absolutely NO overtime charges. We travel all over New England and beyond, so when you’re ready for our industry-leading talent and a game-changing event package all at one affordable wedding band price, we’re ready to celebrate with you.

We are still on a high from the most fun night of our lives all thanks to BeachNights band, Chris and DJ Connor!!! If you want to have music at your wedding that everyone will be talking about for years to come, book BeachNights for your reception and the DJ combo for your other music needs (ceremony, cocktail hour, afterparty). Booking BeachNights for all our music needs was the best decision we made for our wedding day. BeachNights far exceeded our expectations. Chris is so professional, organized, and easy to work with. They have so much experience in all types of venues; you will be glad you have a band who knows exactly what they need to do to put on a seamless performance. They keep the music process worry-free so you can focus on other aspects of wedding planning. A piece of unsolicited advice if I may, book BeachNights for everything: ceremony, cocktail hour, reception, afterparty. It was so much easier being able to talk to ONE person and coordinate all music through ONE group rather than having 4 music vendors involved in the planning process. They take time to learn about you as a couple, your music wants and needs, likes and dislikes so that every single song is exactly what you want and how you pictured your music on your wedding day. THANK YOU Chris and team for making our wedding dreams come true!

Hi! My name is Nick. I fell in love with photography as a child through my love for music; I was obsessed with album covers and photos that would draw my eye and immediately tell me a story. I have a passion for art and my way of expressing it has always been through music and photography. I love hanging out with my friends and being social. Going out to dinner, having drinks, and spending time with my family are a few of my favorite things.

We never even looked for another photographer when planning our wedding. We new from the start that we would use Nick Finochio Photography. We had seen his work for many years prior to our wedding and we were in awe at his attention to detail and overall style of photography. When it came time for our wedding, Nick delivered beyond our expectations. His calm manner was exactly what we needed on our big day and he made us and our bridal party feel so at ease in front of the camera. Nick realizes the style you are going for with your wedding theme and personalities and turns that into a story with his photos. We HIGHLY recommend Nick for your wedding day and promise that you will be blown away by his work.

She captured amazing small moments, and even planned a secret hour with my maid of honor in the morning for a surprise brunch! I was so happy to have her there for all of it, and the photos turned out absolutely stunning.

It’s about making sure the night flows without awkward pauses and confusion, crowd interaction and not hiding “behind the DJ booth” all night. From pre wedding meetings deciding what were going to do and when, guiding you on the best lay out to fit your crowd size and venue their isn’t much I cant help with.

Robert was one of the BEST choices we made for our 2024 wedding! From our first phone call, we knew he was special and would help make our day amazing. His attention to detail, his go with the flow attitude, and comedic timing as an MC made our guests feel comfortable and kept them on the dance floor. We made several changes in the moment and Robert was able to execute perfectly. I can’t recommend the Toasted brew enough, I can say confidently that if I were to plan our wedding again, Robert would be my first call.

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.

I know it sounds crazy, but I may or may not have picked my wedding date based on Nikki and Rachel's schedule. Nikki did my makeup for a friend's wedding 2 years ago, and after feeling the most beautiful I'd ever felt in my life I knew I was going to book her when my time came around. The entire process with Nikki was easy, from my trial to the logistics and all in between. Her work speaks for itself. I can't even count the number of people who came up to me and told me my makeup was insanely gorgeous on my wedding day, and I felt that way too. The one aspect that I feel shouldn't be overlooked is the experience Nikki and my beauty time provided for me on that day. When I say down in the chair, it was the first time I started to get nervous and thought, "Oh my god, this is really happening," but sitting there with Nikki and chitchatting and giggling made my nerves go away. I was so sad when the getting ready part was over because I had so much fun hanging out with them LOL. Thank you, thank you, thank you Nikki for making me feel so insanely beautiful, and for being such a big part of my wedding day. My blast of a morning set the tone for the rest of the day!
