Kristin Griffin Photography 

5.0

  • 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!

We knew going into wedding planning that we wanted a videographer, so we searched online and visited some wedding expos. We met Kristin at a wedding expo and met with her over Zoom a couple times during the wedding planning process. From the beginning, it was fun talking to her about her services, and it was clear that she was punctual, helpful, and professional! We loved her videos she had on her website. During our initial Zoom meeting, we had talked to Kristin about what we were looking for on our wedding day. We definitely wanted to capture the most important parts of the wedding, like the ceremony, portions of the family, wedding party and bride and groom photos, the reception entrances, our first dance, our parent dances, cake cutting, brides bouquet toss, etc. After our Zoom meeting, we knew she was the right fit for what we wanted on our wedding day and we decided to book her! A few weeks before the wedding, Kristin sent us a wedding questionnaire for our specific details about our day to make sure everything was perfect on her end. And on the wedding day, Kristin was awesome! She was able to capture all the special moments of the wedding, and she even got so much more that we were too busy to see the day of. She got some beautiful video of the dress and footage from the bridal prep, as well as a gorgeous shot of the wedding details with my dress in the background. It was a nice piece to see in our wedding video! In the reception space, she captured every detail from the sweetheart table, guest reception tables, guest book, memorial table, seating chart, gift and card table. During the Table Dash to get pictures with all of the guests, Kristin was running around with us to capture those moments! She got a ton of fun and hilarious footage of our guests dancing during the reception as well! We have watched the videos multiple times already, and we (well, especially my husband) can’t help but tear up seeing the beautiful footage and music of our special day. We received four videos: a trailer, a highlights video, a video of the ceremony, and a reception video. Right before the wedding, Kristin asked us for a list of music to use for our videos; we sent her a list of 10-15 songs to choose from, and she used our first dance song for our trailer and five songs for our highlights video. The drone footage, the slow motion effects, the black-and-white portions, and all the amazing editing make the videos all that much better. We received the Vimeo links to our videos just two and a half weeks after the wedding and couldn’t wait to watch them! When we received the USB of our trailer and highlights video, it came in a beautiful wooden keepsake box. After we watched the Vimeo links, we noticed we didn’t have any portions of Kayla and her dad doing air guitar to AC/DC. I emailed Kristin back asking if she could add a little bit of the footage, and she was able to add it right at the end of our reception video, which will be a nice memory for Kayla and her dad! If you’re looking for a fun and professional videographer, look no further than Kristin!

Talia was truly the best choice I could have made to do my florals for my special day. I gave Talia free rein based on my aesthetic and she NAILED it. She has an eye for design and completely knows the business in and out. She handled every interaction with professionalism and was able to exceed timelines as well as even provide hurricane candle holders for my centerpieces. Where Talia truly shined though, was actually saving the day the day of my wedding. She picked up the slack for my non-existent wedding planner and was conducting set up that was well above her contract. She did that because she truly cares about her clients. She is not in this industry for money or ego, she is in this industry because it’s what she has passion for. I would trust her again for any event. The quality of work and willingness to go above and beyond when fires occur speaks for itself. Talia not only could be a florist she could also be a planner, that’s how attentive and compassionate she is about her work and clients. Thank you so much Talia you are a ROCKSTAR!

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.

She made our wedding day stress free since she provided us with a schedule/outline of our wedding day and she always kept ahead of the schedule to make sure we didn’t run late for our ceremony. She provided us sneak peek photos from our wedding within 24 hours. We received a beautiful glass usb with all of our photos a month after our wedding.

  • Videographer
  • Cinematic style
  • Serves South Lyme, CT

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
From our first meeting with Adam, we knew he was the best videographer for us! Not only is he kind, professional, communicative AND fairly priced, but he also delivers high-quality, cinematic videos that look like movies. Since receiving the sneak peek of our June 2024 wedding, we've heard from multiple guests that it is one of the best trailers they've ever seen. Adam managed to capture the smallest moments that I truly thought no one saw- such as the moment I got a little emotional alone after putting on my dress. He never feels intrusive or in the way, but I loved knowing he was capturing more than the "standard" wedding footage and instead focused on finding ways to document the feelings and energy of the day, which is so hard to do. His drone footage MAKES our wedding video, and gives us a perspective on our venue that we'll have forever. When our wedding day had some questionable weather, he was able to help us pivot our first look location with ease, and made the extra effort to get the drone back in the sky after the thunderstorms cleared, knowing how much that footage meant to me. He also worked flawlessly with our photography team despite never having met before, and they clearly respected each other's work and needs, which sadly isn't always the case! Do yourself a favor and book with AP Creative Media- you won't be disappointed!

Hi, my name is Juan, AKA Jay, I am a Western Massachusetts based photographer. I first began my interest in photography in grade school. While my teacher would conduct the class I would be interested in the images so I could make more of a connection. I was also dubbed the "family photographer" whenever there was a family function. I am more of a non-traditional photographer, meaning, I enjoy control candid photos vs traditional posing photos.

My husband and I got married almost 7 months ago and the pictures for both our engagement session and our wedding were amazing. We loved working with Pix by Jay and would definitely use him again.

Awarded Best of Zola
When we first looked into hiring a DJ, we thought it was as simple as picking someone to play music and get the dance floor going. But we were impressed with how much more there was to it, and Collins Entertainment had it all covered from start to finish! There were so many details that we had not considered, like doing a "farewell dance" towards the end of the night. They also offered perspectives that we had not considered, like the benefits of doing wedding party introductions since we had not done programs. Because there is a team of DJs and they take incredible notes, it also means that there is a seamless transition in case of any emergencies. Our original DJ had a family medical emergency, but his colleague was able to step in without missing a beat (pun intended). We highly recommend!

Abby and Bailey were the absolute best hair and make up duo we could have booked for our wedding. I did a trial with them ahead of our engagement photos and loved how everything came out. For the day of the wedding they were timely, professional, and fun! My sister, my mom, my mother in law and me really enjoyed chatting with the two of them throughout the morning. My hair and make up came out exactly how I was envisioning and stayed put throughout the long day. They achieved the exact natural but glamorous look I wanted. Book Abby Lauren!

  • 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.

Awarded Best of Zola
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!

We were thrilled with the bar services provided by Roaming Spirits CT for our wedding! Their communication throughout the planning process was timely, efficient, and easy - they responded quickly whenever we had a question. On the big day, they were amazing, hard-working bartenders who made sure our guests' drinks were flowing. They went above and beyond by making the cutest drink signs that perfectly matched our wedding style. The bartenders were attentive to guests' needs and always had a smile on their faces while serving. We'd highly recommend Roaming Spirits CT to any engaged couple - Anthony and Kelly are an amazing couple who respond super fast and are so helpful in planning the bar service.

Her experience, creativity & knowledge in the event industry puts her ahead of most in the area. She loves creating and working with clients on all levels to make their vision become a reality. "I love getting to know my clients and enjoy becoming their "New Best Friend" prior to the event.". Her talent in design, organization, and management makes any experience working with her effortless. She makes you feel so comfortable & give you the confidence it will be an amazing event.

Eileen was amazing as our wedding planner / month-of coordinator. Both my husband and I were SO glad we hired her. Eileen helped us make so many decisions during the planning process that led to an extremely smooth wedding day - from where the bar was located to how we processed down the aisle, from whether to do cake or a dessert bar, to when champagne was poured - she really nailed it. She also worked with all of our vendors to coordinate setup and was onsite to help make sure everything was set up correctly & as planned. Everyone jokes that something *always* goes wrong on your wedding day, no matter how much you plan, but really we had nothing go wrong thanks to Eileen! She made our day stress-free! It's also important to call out that our venue wedding coordinator quit a couple of weeks before our wedding, and Eileen stepped up and swooped in to make sure our new point of contact at the venue was fully up-to-speed. Thank god for Eileen! I highly recommend her. And if you're on the fence about needing a wedding coordinator -- just take the leap! SO SO worth it.
