Hello, my name is Adam! I have been working behind a camera for 15 years and would love to bring my expertise in filmmaking and storytelling to your wedding. Being a part of the most special day in a couple's lives is a tremendous honor, and I bring that sentiment into every film I make.

Awarded Best of Zola
Getting a videographer was a last minute decision, but one of the best ones I made! Adam was absolutely AMAZING to work with, very clear communication and fast responses. We got our sneak peak just a few days after our wedding and our video just a couple of weeks after that and it was just beautiful. You will not regret choosing Adam!

We booked Collins Entertainment for our October wedding at the Interlaken Inn in Lakeville, CT. We had an unbelievably amazing experience with this company from the top to the bottom. Our DJ, Jared, was exceptional with music selection, a master emcee, was accommodating and seemed to be everywhere at once. My guests left saying he was the best DJ they've ever seen at a wedding for how many hits he put out. He was able to read the crowd really well, and knew how to get everyone on the dance floor. Jared had battery-powered setups for both the ceremony and reception, so we didn't have to worry about outlets in a remote area outdoors, which was very nice. Our planning sessions with Jim, Mitch, and Jared were comprehensive and they gave us all the tools we needed to succeed. The package price was very reasonable too, and was a leading factor for why we chose them as well. We used their mirror photo booth as well, which was very fun. The mirror booth even came with a long red carpet! The operator, Randall, was very accommodating and helpful with guests, making it fun and easy for everyone. We highly recommend Collins Entertainment!

DJ Manolo was the best DJ we could have ever asked for throughout the entire wedding planning process and during the wedding. We cannot recommend him enough. He was fun, friendly, lively, and kept the dance floor PACKED all night. He listened to our requests and helped us through the entire process. A top priority for our wedding was a fun and lively DJ and a packed dance floor with good music and DJ Manolo exceeded our expectations! He matched our energy and brought the whole room to life. We have had so many people compliment him and his work and ask for his contact info since our wedding. We look forward to seeing him at future friends and families weddings!

Shukhrat Kamalov Photography 

5.0

  • Photographer
  • Editorial style
  • Serves South Lyme, CT

Hey there, I’m Shukhrat, a proud husband, a father and an artist. My love for photography started about fifteen years ago with photojournalism. Today, I continue to utilize my skills in capturing beautiful wedding and portrait moments that evoke the same emotions as the real moment. My photography style is diverse and has been refined over the years to showcase my creative vision. I am all about creating stunning, timeless artwork that truly captures the essence of a moment in true to life colors.

Shukhrat and his wife Rachel just shot our June 8th wedding and we couldn't be happier. They were amazing to work with and the photos are phenomenal! About the pictures: Shukhrat is versatile and very skilled. When we took our engagement photos he provided us with various styles of photos and editing, and then used our feedback to guide the photos he took at our wedding. He is also flexible. We got married in a city park and there were wayyyy more people in the park than we were expecting at 6:00pm at night. Without missing any of the candid details or true-to-life colors that we wanted, Shukhrat was able to frame the photos and/or alter the lighting so that the park goers were barely visible in the background. Both Shukhrat and Rachel are also very skilled at giving direction when needed, but letting you do your own thing the rest of the time. Neither my husband nor I have a lot of experience in front of a camera—they gave us enough direction to feel confident, without making us feel stifled or overly posed. We wanted photos that felt organic and genuine, and they were really able to capture that. Working with Shukhrat and Rachel: The two of them were a dream to work with. Incredibly professional--very communicative, punctual, quick turnaround time on photos. And they are also just lovely people. You spend so much time on your wedding day with your photographers, it's really important to feel comfortable with them, and we certainly did. They brought both a fun, but calming energy, easing our pre-wedding jitters before the ceremony, and leaning into the excitement as the night went on. Although we hardly know them, they felt like friends. We are so glad we booked Shukhrat for our wedding!

Kristin Griffin Photography

  • Photographer
  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $2,750
  • Serves South Lyme, CT

I shot my first wedding in 2004, and from that moment on, I was hooked! It's an honor to witness and capture such an important moment in the lives of my couples. Before specializing in weddings, I focused on fine art and night photography. I earned a BFA degree in studio art from the University of Notre Dame (Go Irish!), and a MFA degree in imaging arts/photography from Rochester Institute of Technology. I taught black and white, digital, alternative process and studio photography at the high school, university and adult education levels. I love both the planned events and the unintentional, quiet moments that make a wedding unique!

Kristin is amazing on so many levels. She is genuinely a sweet, kind person and has costumer services skills no other photographer can beat. Her photography is stunning from posed shots to family and friends interacting with each other. With her photos you will never forget how excited and happy you were on your special day. You will be surprised on how many photos she captures in that moment.

Wayne was INCREDIBLE!! He's been to our property (Hyatt Regency Boston Harbor) for a handful of weddings this season and each time I'm relieved to see him. His experience and creativity is unique, playful and beautiful. Our couples are always so pleased with the photos and overall the experience of their big day when it comes to LoveDays. One wedding in particular (Ferrari Benotti Wedding) had incredible photos from downtown Boston. Many of those photos were highlighted in the @Onlybos Instagram and we had couples request Wayne's information from it. Incredible photos and great experience, 10/10 recommend.

Awarded Best of Zola
It is hard to put into words the tremendous gratitude I feel for Christina and her team with Lovelace Designs. We had our wedding at the Basketball Hall of Fame in Springfield, MA – a non-conventional space that very rarely holds weddings. There were countless unique aspects of this space we had to consider while planning the event, and it is no exaggeration that Christina executed everything perfectly. In addition to her amazing skills as an event coordinator, she is a kind and friendly person who supported me through all the unforeseen challenges associated with planning your wedding. Christina consistently went above and beyond what was contractually required. One example of this excellent service occurred when we were securing a pipe & drape vendor for our ceremony. Christina actually drove out to Holyoke MA to see the pipe and drape in person since this was a new vendor she had not previously worked with. I am so thankful she took that trip as we realized that vendor could not execute what we envisioned. After describing her concerns to me, she immediately presented me with a solution in the form of another vendor who was able to provide us with exactly what we needed for our space. This is truly just one example of the hundreds of occasions Christina’s customer service was far beyond what we could’ve expected. From the first phone call I had with Christina, I knew that she would be pleasant to work with and up for the challenge. As time went on, I developed a profound appreciation for both her fabulous taste and her special ability to help me take simple ideas and create a seamless theme and elegant design. She was so wonderful to work with, my grandmother hired her to assist with my bridal shower and my mother-in-law also hired her to coordinate the 170-person rehearsal dinner the night before our wedding! Over the past year, Lovelace Design became a beloved part of our celebrations and Christina became an extended member of our family. I look forward to using Christina again for future occasions and truly cannot express my gratitude for all her help, compassion, and skillset!

I cannot recommend Best Friends Flowers highly enough! I hired them for my October wedding and they gave me the wedding florals of my dreams. Isabelle was communicative, collaboratively created a vision board, and turned my very vague, broad requests (“colorful”, “wildflower-ish”) into the most amazing bridesmaid bouquets, bridal bouquet, boutonnières, table flowers, and wedding arch. They take into account the wedding, the people, and the setting. I was so happy to have this business- a local, queer-owned, ethically focused small business- be a big part of my wedding day. Thank you Best Friends Flowers!!!!

Judson Rappaport Photography

  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves South Lyme, CT

I found my love for photography in a high school dark room, and I have continued to follow that passion to find myself today working as a hybrid photographer in both Film and Digital. I strive not to just take pictures, but to capture candid emotions and capture them in a beautiful way. My photography is personal and intimate. My approach is a mixture of fine art and documentary, I try to capture your moments and day as it happened but highlighting the special details and taking advantage of the best lighting. As a lover of history I love capturing personal and family histories that surround weddings.

Awarded Best of Zola
Just a few minutes into our first conversation with Judson, we knew she was our wedding photographer. She was great to work with — very easy-going, fun and the utmost professional who has a fantastic eye and the patience of a saint for our ... always sort of "extra" family — and dog, Kona, who refused to cooperate with most pictures haha. My husband and I normally shy away from being in front of the camera, but with Judson's energy and personality, our discomfort quickly melted away, and we could just focus on having the best day of our lives. She even got us to dance atop one of the hills on Roosevelt Island, which ended up being some of our favorite pics! By the end of the night, it was like Judson had been part of our family forever. I know she'd be a great addition to your family and wedding, too. We cannot recommend her enough! She really listens to what you want and delivers the most beautiful memories.

I want to do cool things, with good people. Create connections. Become fast friends. Share my love for the outdoors. Find incredible light. Laugh our asses off. Have a conversation about whatever. Not talk about politics. Find out how you met. Swear a little bit. Get lost for a while. Talk about music. Throw some high fives. Arm wrestle. Probably bring up my cats. Ask you why you don't have cats. Make you believe that bigfoot is real. Bring some thunder. Ride the lightning. Take some photos. Looking forward to all of that.

Working with Joe for our wedding was one of the best decisions we made! Hands down the best vendor we had for our wedding! From the first communications before we booked with him to when he sent us our wedding photos, Joe was professional, communicative, and so easy to work with. Joe was extremely easy to talk to throughout this whole process. He provided great suggestions for our engagement shoot and our first look/family photos. Going into our engagement shoot, we were both a little nervous about having our photo taken. Joe made us feel at ease and comfortable in front of the camera - he's got jokes! On our wedding day, he was so efficient and made sure that we were truly able to enjoy our day with our family & friends while still getting in some amazing photos. We enjoyed working with Joe so much that we've booked him for our family photos this upcoming year!

Our world class band performances create unforgettable moments of joy and memories and a dance floor filled with celebration.

Awarded Best of Zola
Let’s start with “WOW!” We had a music festival themed wedding with four bands so music was a critical piece of our wedding weekend and the standards were high. We interviewed over 20 bands from the NYC area and decided to go with Vitamin M after really vibing with their band leader, JJ. And boy are we glad we did! JJ worked with us to curate the perfect performance for us and our guests. He was able to balance dance songs and classics alongside some custom requests that went off the beaten path of most traditional weddings from the likes of The Band, Talking Heads and The Clash. He even helped us surprise our guests with a singing introduction of the bride and groom. He took time to get to know us and was always happy to answer any questions we had. This was not a cookie cutter wedding band performance. This is a group of truly talented professional musicians putting on a real show. Our guests and even our vendors are still telling us today, months later, that this was the best wedding band that they’ve ever seen. We are extremely happy with our decision to hire Vitamin M for our wedding. No diggity, no doubt.

Emma Cleary Photo and Video 

5.0

  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,000
  • Serves South Lyme, CT

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.

I was referred to Emma Cleary via a gf who had just had her wedding shot and said she did great work so I was happy to get a glowing referral while trying to source vendors. Emma was a godsend for me, because my wedding had so much that I wanted to cover, with so many moving pieces (7 musical acts, 20 performers, etc.) at so many different locations (a memorial area for first look, then over to a Park for ceremony, then a boat to an Island for the reception) via different modes of transportation (car, ferry, boat, 2nd line parade) over multiple nights (we shot both Friday -Sunday am) but her and her team came along for the entire ride and nailed it and I got AMAZING photos for every part. The lead photographer was so on it (which we needed bc we were on such a tight schedule) and the other photographers were also great and told us jokes which helped me actually get genuine smiles and helped so much during the stressful first look. My veil blew away during my photos (before the ceremony, sigh) and they were there trying to climb the tree to get it (but it was way too high up!) but A+ for effort. And the best part was that she actually SAVED my wedding... we had planned on getting married next to a carousel inside a public park, and the carousel party coordinator didn't file the required permit we needed so a hour before I walked down the aisle the park rangers came in and forced the setup/guests out. Emma knew the owner of a nearby restaurant where she had shot wedding photos before and asked the owner if we could use in front of his restaurant (facing the water) as a ceremony site. If that had not happened then who knows where I would have gotten married. She worked with my wedding planner and my guests (and us too!) had a place to have our ceremony last second... she was a total life saver during such a stressful and important moment. And then at the end once we received the photos, my favorite part was the light editing which was just the right amount, not too fake, so was perfect. Some of the photos dont even look like we are in a city which I just loved loved loved and had said I wanted, and then when we wanted city or actions shots she got those too so we had options of everything we did in every way. There is one shot where she got the end of our first dance and it looks like we are in a Broadway play! Anyways, as you could tell I couldnt have recommended any more bc she has so many years of experience it helped us with not only capturing the moments perfectly, and in a perfect way, it also helped us bc she knows all the wedding venues and wedding industry people and I never realized how much that plays a part in booking vendors.

LT² Photography did a great job at our wedding. LaDonna truly went above and beyond to make sure that we have beautiful memories of our day. I’m so grateful that she encouraged us to get prints and wall art for keepsakes and decor in our home. Since we put our picture on the wall our dining has never looked or felt better. It just feels more like us now. She communicates so well and helped us stay organized and even sent us a budget calculator to help us manage our wedding finances- we didn’t even know we needed a budget tool until we started using it. I wish we hadn’t opted out of their videography service, but she gave us a highlight video anyway! I can’t say enough good things - my husband and I are just so impressed and glad we chose to work with LT2 Photography for our wedding.

Hi there, I'm Ashely! I'm a professional photographer who loves capturing every moment & every little detail. Photos are something so special...they freeze precious moments in time & create memories which can be cherished forever. I have photographed many weddings alone, as well as been a 2nd shooter on a few occasions. I will be your personal hype woman, make sure everything looks picture perfect, and I help guide you with any posing as needed. I also love candid photos! I will make sure taking your photos is fun and "painless" as many people have said. Besides having a great experience, your pictures will last a lifetime!

Ashley is one of my favorite photographers to work with during weddings. She is reliable, very professional, knows how to get the job done and respectful of everyone’s timelines.

On the day of our wedding, Max was very professional, quick, and efficient. There were a few changes in our schedule that we made, based off of the flow of the day, and Max was completely adaptable and happy to work with us and give us what we wanted. We also got hundreds of pictures to choose from, which we were pleasantly surprised by, based off of how quick he works. We also appreciated that he put together a payment plan with us, instead of asking for all the money at one time. We would gladly work with him again any time.

Hey! I'm Nina. I'm a pretty energetic and charismatic person that loves love and enjoys life. Documenting through photo is my favorite thing on this planet. I've been a professional photographer since 2016 but really I've been invested in photography since I was 15 years old. My love for documenting moments came from a desire to capture my own life and that of my friends using disposable cameras to using flip phone cameras and point and shoot digital cameras on beach trips with friends. I have used writing, art, and photo to document my life and it is an incredibly special thing to be able to share that with my clients.

I am a caffeine addict who never sleeps. I love a good thunderstorm and playing Candy Crush for the brain breaks. I adore all kinds of dogs, but I have a special love for German Shepherds. My all-time favorite thing is to sit by the fire with a glass of good cabernet or watch the ocean waves hit the beach. I love to garden and to build things (but I let my husband to finish all my projects LOL). I enjoy good food and will likely refer to a stand up comedy routine at least once in a conversation. I am also a football mom, lacrosse mom and basketball mom. Wife to a very understanding husband and emotional support person for my big puppies.

If you're on the hunt for a wedding photographer who not only captures every intricate detail but also brings a sense of ease and joy to your special day, look no further than Silvia Gilbert Photography. From the moment we met her, we knew she was the perfect fit for our wedding, and boy, did she exceed our expectations!

Her attention to detail is simply remarkable; every shot she takes feels like a work of art, meticulously composed and brimming with emotion.

Looking through our wedding album, we were transported back to that magical day, reliving every laugh, tear, and heartfelt exchange.

Hi! I'm Aren, when trusted to tell your story through my lens, I take a photojournalistic approach. I value capturing the moments as they are happening on your big day, rather than making your wedding day into a "photoshoot". Real, raw, + authentic love is what I am here to capture. Minimalistic photography really draws my eye, never over complicating what's really happening in front of us, and finding the beauty in the simple, in-between, moments.

Working with Aren was amazing. She made us feel comfortable in front of the camera immediately, and captured us perfectly. We were so impressed with the quality of her shots and her prompt delivery of our gallery!

Do yourself a favor and let Robyn work her hair magic for your wedding! Robyn was amazing during my wife and I's entire wedding. We talked beforehand about what I wanted for the big day. I think she usually does a trial run before weddings, but because I live across the country we had to skip that step. Even without the trial run, though, she pulled off exactly what I had pictured. Robyn managed to craft the elusive not too tight but holds all day hairstyle. I felt so great about my hair that day! On top of being an incredible hair artist, Robyn is truly an amazing human. You're going to want to invite her to your wedding as your best friend by the time your hair is done!
