Eli Holmes Photo + Film 

2.0

  • Photographer
  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $5,500
  • Serves Oakland, RI

Film brought art back to photography — having control over the film stock, using particular cameras for different reasons, doing double exposures with film blindly, souping film and customizing the development process to the wedding, and so much more. And through film, I embrace the imperfections of weddings — following along with your flow of the day and natural interactions of your friends and family. Capturing your wedding story as it happens is always the priority and focus.

We were going to go with an off island photographer when we came across Eli and their work. Their knowledge of the island, how the wind blows differently on different sides of our venue, how the light hits perfectly on this side of the venue and we can still get an ocean view — that they care about the power lines and know how to avoid cars in the back of ceremony images. The list just went on and on and on. Working with Eli was like working with a walking encyclopedia of Block Island. And when you're getting married on the island, it's such an asset. Eli helped walk us through other on island vendors, best spots for our engagement sessions, different hotels that might suite certain guests better than others, an amazing casual rehearsal dinner/welcome party idea that was flawless, and I just couldn't be happier. When we got the images though, I didn't know what to say. Eli had captured so much of our story, we felt the same jitters getting ready to walk down the aisle looking through images of moments we didn't. get to experience on our wedding day (we were a little busy, getting married, and you just can't witness everything). Eli was so great with our friends and family, able to choral a few of my drunk groomsmen, while simultaneously making my antsy family members just super at ease and happy. I couldn't be happier in working with Eli and can't wait to see them in future years when we visit.

My job on your special day isn't just to capture breathtaking portraits, but to make sure you get the photos without sacrificing the time at your own party! There will be just enough camera time to create those posed, wall worth portraits but even more candid, unique-to-you shots that will make your wedding unlike any other.

Awarded Best of Zola
We hired Amanda as the sole photographer for our wedding in Spring 2022 and have no regrets. She was amazing to work with! She is professional, timely, has great communication but best of all was so easy to work with and her photography work is amazing. I’m typically a bit awkward posing in front of the camera but Amanda made it so easy for me to be confidently myself. So much so, at times I forgot she was there which made for great candid shots. Her personality was an added bonus. We received a few “sneak peeks” the same day and all our wedding photos back in less than a week. She’s definitely earned us as repeat customers. Spend the money on a good, experienced photographer. You won’t regret it! I will cherish these photos for years to come.

Marilia Lima Photography 

5.0

  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves Oakland, RI

I found myself photographing weddings 5 years ago. Before that I was into documentary and travel photography. I traveled the world doing it. My passion for love stories began after a friend asked me to photograph their wedding. It was the most intimate experience for me, the deep connection and the responsibility I was granted by my friend felt nothing but honorable. After that I decided to give it a go. Fast forward, today my style is candid and non-obtrusive and of course I work with posing and I’m really good at giving people directions. My passion is to observe my subjects and capture them in a very natural, honest and uncontrived way.

Awarded Best of Zola
We highly, highly, highly recommend Marilia to anyone searching for a special photographer on their big day. Marilia is not like any other typical photographer, she is one of a kind and super personable too. Look at her work on her website and social media and you will see for yourself. Hire Marilia, she’s the best.

Awarded Best of Zola
Hotel Providence was exactly what we were looking for in a wedding venue. I loved moving from room to room, having a dance floor away from space for folks to have coffee and dessert, and to be able to walk upstairs at the end of the night. We could not have been more happy. There has been a recent change in events personnel, which led to some miscommunications and a few things not happening as expected. While nothing that altered any piece of our enjoyment, I would recommend couples who are more anxious or type A to hire a day/month of coordinator to ensure everything goes as smoothly as possible. The staff at HP are five-star, and they handled every questions, concern, issue, and guest with grace and professionalism. I thought it was well-priced., and for us, having a venue that "does it all" was super important.

Kim Lyn Photography - Boudoir + Weddings

  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $5,000
  • Serves Oakland, RI

I'm Kim Lyn, a girlboss photographer that loves romance and natural light. I think your photos deserve to be as amazing as your story. If I'm not behind a camera you may find me curled up with a book, sprawled out on the couch binging on crime or romance shows, and eating (basically anything deep fried, spicy, soupy, or chocolate covered). I have a slight addiction with Coca Cola + Mountain Dew...they are my version of coffee. I adore laughing and will dance no matter where I am. Give me the sun, sand, and coast and you'll make me a happy girl.

Awarded Best of Zola
Kim will be my photographer for life! Or, at least as long as she'll have me. I first met Kim when my husband and I were searching for wedding photographers. We absolutely loved her timeless style and were eager to get to know her. We met up at a coffee shop and instantly felt a connection. She then snapped some engagement photos, helping us with posing along the way. It was a good sign of things to come! On our wedding day, Kim and Shiloh put us totally at ease. It was like they'd always been our best friends. They were warm and sweet and helped us cherish the day, all while keeping us to our schedule and getting us all the shots they promised with professionalism and clarity. When we ultimately got our photos back, we were so in love with how they'd captured the day. They say that your wedding photographer is your best investment - we couldn't agree more! My only disappointment was that we wouldn't be able to work with them again. A year or so later, though, I decided to gift my husband a boudoir album for his 30th birthday. I was so excited to be in front of Kim's camera again. She helped me feel so confident and made sure I was having fun. I'll also reiterate that she was incredibly professional and so timely. I look forward to the next chapter of my husband and I's life so we can have it captured by Kim and Shiloh. They are truly so talented at seizing life's most beautiful, precious moments. I can't speak enough to the relationship we were able to build with Kim and Shiloh. When you hire them, you're not just hiring a vendor. You're hiring a friend. That's exactly who you want by your side on the biggest days of your life - someone you can trust, someone who loves you for you, and someone who wants the very best for you. You will, without a doubt, get that and more with Kim Lyn Photography.

DJ Ra-Mu and his Crew were INSANE. Ra-Mu treated my husband and I like royalty. He listened, asked questions and made sure he was going to give us the perfect day. We had the Photo Booth package and holy everything the photos are going to keep us laughing forever. The music selection we had some specifics we wanted and he stayed true to that and even nailed the specific timing I gave him. We asked for him to make his selections beyond that and go with the vibe of the party and did he ever. The dance floor was packed from young to old and friends to family. Everyone could not stop talking about how amazing of a DJ we had. It was the best wedding and it would not have been the same without Ra-Mu and the Crew. 5-stars is not enough.

Tracy is the best wedding photographer around. We had booked her for a June 2020 wedding and, well, you know what happened. She was so easy to work with while we rescheduled multiple times. She was also so incredibly generous as she came to capture the mini-pandemic wedding we ended up having in 2020 in addition to the big party we had in 2021. She is professional, talented, and so much fun to work with.

My passion for photography stems from my love of travel and capturing life's precious moments. There's nothing more fulfilling than preserving the most beautiful days of your life. Photos are a return ticket to moments gone. My goal is to create lasting memories that inspire and evoke emotions. I believe my purpose is the impact my work has on others. This is my 15th year, and it gets better with each passing year.

I can't say enough about how amazing Stacy is! She has photographed all our family milestones so I knew we would be in good hands when I booked her for our wedding. She exceeded all expectations. I was blown away when I opened the sneak peek photos. I could not stop looking at them. Not only were her photography skills amazing, she was responsive, supportive and available to help all throughout the planning process and on our big day. We had some hiccups that day and I think I would have never managed to pull it off without her. She was definitely my rock. It was stressful due to a malfunction that caused some damage. She didn't even flinch. She came up with a plan on the spot and moved us forward. Thank goodness for her amazing photos! I am able to sit back, look through them and take it all in because they captured everything perfectly. Thank you for being the amazing human being that you are!

Most of my work has a very natural feel to it. I capture moments, making for a very lighthearted, low stress day. I am a roll-with-the-punches sort of person, which comes in handy since no wedding day ever goes totally to plan! I focus on the joy, laughter, gratitude and everything in between! We’ll probably go adventuring a bit to get some really cool shots. We will definitely laugh a lot. Sound good? Check out my portfolio or get in touch to chat more!

If you’re considering booking Polar Square Designs, just do it! Kate was so responsive, professional, helpful and flexible. Neither my husband nor I love having our photos taken (especially in public) but Kate made us feel totally comfortable on our engagement shoot at the beach and we ended up with some incredible shots. The turnaround time to get our whole gallery back was so quick. Leading up to our wedding, Kate’s questionnaire helped us nail down what shots we really wanted and the timeline she came up with was very helpful! On our wedding day, Kate and the second shooter Allison worked together so well and made sure we got all the shots we wanted! Everything flowed perfect and they did an amazing job capturing our best day ever! We received a bunch of “sneak peek” images less than 24 hours after our wedding and they’re all so good! Kate’s creativity and skill are evident in the results. I highly recommend Polar Square Designs!

Beckerman House of Planning

  • Planner
  • Offers 4 services
  • Starts at $2,500
  • Serves Oakland, RI

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!

Cose Bella started in the historical town of Warren, RI. We are a full and partial service wedding planning company, experienced in events of all sizes. We are with you the entire day of your important event, executing every planned detail with meticulous work ethic. Being a smaller business allows us the opportunity to be more present and personable, allowing us to to perfectly reflect who you are and what makes your love so special.

I don’t even know where to begin. I hired Rachel about a year out from my wedding. I was looking for a day of coordinator and to say she exceeded those expectations would be the understatement of the century. We had monthly check ins leading up to the wedding, with even more calls as the day got closer, to ensure everything was on track. Hands down the best decision my fiancé and I made in the wedding planning process. I am a type-A perfectionist, who is not easy to please, and Rachel eased all of my worries. Without the help of her and her amazing team, I’m not sure how I would have survived the planning process let alone, made sure everything was perfect on our wedding day. Rachel and her team ensured everything ran on time, contacted all vendors leading up to wedding, ran our rehearsal , set up all tables, flowers, candles, bars, gift tables, cigar bar, the list goes on and on. She truly was our wedding fairy godmother and a million thank you’s would never suffice in expressing my gratitude towards her and her incredible team. Brides - please give yourself the gift of peace of mind on your big day and book Cose Bella. Thank you Rachel & Cose Bella - we love you!

Newport, RI
  • Venue
  • Up to 250 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $15,000

Memorable Hospitality Since 1926. Located atop downtown Newport’s Historic Hill neighborhood, Hotel Viking opened to an awestruck public almost a century ago. As a member of the prestigious Historic Hotels of America, our Newport RI luxury hotel holds a special place in history. From the original key boxes located behind the Front Desk, to the 1926 brass letterbox in the Lobby, the hotel offers a wonderful combination of style, comfort, and modern amenities. More than a building or a name, we are an iconic and important landmark in the Newport landscape. We are inspired by and committed to the unique experiences for our guests: past, present, and future.

Wow, what a great experience from start to finish! We’re so glad we chose to host our wedding at Hotel Viking. Everyone at Hotel Viking was respectful, kind, and professional with every interaction. We held our wedding ceremony in Kay Chapel, which is a nondenominational chapel now owned by the hotel. It was beautiful. We then had our cocktail hour in the Thames Room and our reception in Bellevue Ballroom. Linda from Hotel Viking answered every question, accommodated every special request, and supported us the whole way through. As I was getting ready to walk down the aisle, I was psyched to have her nearby. All of our guests LOVED the food and expressed that the hotel staff were friendly and helpful. My husband and I had a blast and felt like it was truly our dream wedding. Guests had a blast, too. The bridal party had an enormous suite to get ready in and it allowed the hair and makeup to spread out and still left room for the girls to gather, take photos, eat, drink, and lounge. We definitely recommend Hotel Viking!

Hi! I’m Carol. I am based out of Warren, RI - the cutest lil’ New England town. I mostly photograph in RI and MA, and am willing to travel! The weddings I photograph are small and intimate. With the pandemic we saw a lot of people change their wedding plans to micro weddings, backyard weddings, and elopements. Though the reason for these changes came from public health concerns, I think there has been a shift in how we look at weddings. There is something so beautiful about the intimacy of the closest of family and friends gathered at your home or on the beach. I adore documenting these gatherings and it is a privilege to be a part of.

Awarded Best of Zola
We couldn't have asked for a better photographer for our wedding. Carol made us feel so at ease when it came to photographing us (and we are both a bit awkward when it comes to having our pics taken). She is thoughtful, patient, friendly, and professional. We especially loved the candid shots she took at our wedding- we never knew we could look so good! I highly recommend Carol Wild Photography!!!

Hi, I’m Nicole (she/her) - a Rhode Island-based wedding photographer. I have more than a decade of experience shooting weddings of all kinds - and today, I work collaboratively with my couples to create photos that evoke how their day felt. Photos of honest and emotional interactions; small details that hold weight and meaning; effortless portraits that capture the feel of the surrounding space or landscape. The result is a narrative visual story of enduring human connections, and a chronicle of emotional moments that they can revisit time and time again.

Nicole is absolutely phenomenal. She is kind, funny, professional, smart, and supportive throughout the entire wedding process. She made my husband and I feel comfortable, constantly checked in with our needs, and is incredibly talented. I've only gotten the sneak peeks back so far but we are THRILLED at how our photos turned out. Thank you Nicole (& Amanda)!!! We loved working with both of them on our day.

I'm a destination wedding & elopement photographer. I was born and raised in Rhode Island but I spend most of my time on flights documenting beautiful love stories all over the world. As a child all, I can remember was carrying around one of those Fujifilm cameras and taking photos of family and friends. Fast forward to 2017, I decided to take my hobby of photography seriously. Here I am years later running my business full-time & I love what I do. Capturing the raw moments and being the one to capture memories that you will look back on years to come.

My style is about my bride and groom having a good time and creating an atmosphere for their guests to have fun by playing and mixing great music. As a an experienced DJ I know how to read the crowd and play the right music at the right time to keep the dance floor moving. I will keep the DJ “chatter” to a minimum to be sure not to steal the spotlight. I take a completely modern approach, using my extensive knowledge of music formats and appropriate Emcee skills to move a dance floor.

Sidney was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding! From our first conversation, he was easy to talk to, honest about what he could provide, and very thorough in making sure he understood the vibe we were going for. The day-of, Sidney absolutely crushed it - his song selection was spot on for keeping guests of all ages entertained, and he did an excellent job reading the crowd to keep the dance floor moving. His equipment elevated the whole reception. For the quality of work and professionalism Sidney brings, his services are an incredible value. We had so many guests compliment the music and entertainment. Sidney was integral to making sure our wedding celebration was fun for all, and we'd enthusiastically recommend him to any engaged couple looking for a talented DJ who will listen to what you want!

Hey there! My name is Emma, a wedding, portrait, and equine photographer, originally from Northeast Connecticut, now living in central Rhode Island. Throughout my variety of experiences in life, I have had the privilege to realize the power of communication and the importance of surrounding yourself with the things that make you most happy. I hope that I can use my photographic skill to help capture your personal connections, love story, and memories through images that will last a lifetime. I am always a friendly face, please feel free to reach out at any time!

Ben & I cannot thank Emma Guillot Photography enough for all she has done for our weddings. She photographed our church wedding and knew exactly how much all the small, fine details meant to us on that day. She perfected moving in and out of pews so much so that no one even noticed she was there! At our second wedding which was much larger and at a different location she knew all the ins and outs of our families and how we wanted photos taken. She lead the charge in taking photos I never would have thought of taking on such a stressful day! Emma is beyond professional. Her calming demeanor really helped in keeping things stress free for us! We are beyond blessed to have had her with us on one of the biggest moments of our lives and now we have photos that will last a lifetime and be timeless! If you’re looking for a photographer that goes the extra mile, loves what she does and truly cares about what you want - then this is your girl! We would choose her again and again! Thank you, Emma! Words cannot fully describe how incredibly thankful we are to have had you with us. I can’t stop looking at all the photos.

We provide hospitality-focused service to make your planning experience professional, smooth, and fun. From coordinating with your choice of caterer to ordering rental items and customizing the perfect bar package, MWM staff are there to ensure an impeccable experience for you and your guests.

We LOVED having our wedding at Machines with Magnets. Everything about the night and the planning was absolutely seamless. We got compliments all night (and still to this day) that the drinks were the best our guests had ever had. The cocktails are that of a thoughtful bar program — not just a wedding venue. The same goes for furniture, art, and ambience. If you're looking to avoid the generic wedding venue vibe, look no further. Machines with Magnets is the type of place you want to go grab a drink or hang out for the night — not a large wedding venue created to churn and burn events. We loved that we were able to bring in our own vendors from all over, rather than having to stick to a small list. There's also a beautiful apartment attached to the venue that we chose to add-on, which was a great thing to have to get ready and store our belongings. Would highly recommend using the projector!
