Beach Nights - Live Band & DJ Combo 

5.0

Boston, MA
  • Band or Ensemble
  • Starts at $8,500
  • Serves Stratford, CT

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!

BEST WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER IN THE GAME!!!! There is no need to keep searching for photographers. Siobhan is the best for any event! There are no words to describe how excellent Siobhan is, both with her work and as a person. Not only is she talented, organized, and professional, but she is also personable and made us feel like we have been friends for years. My husband and I first met Siobhan for our engagement shoot. We were nervous to be in front of the camera and worried we would look awkward. Siobhan made us feel so comfortable, and our pictures were AWESOME! My mom and sister also surprised me with Siobhan as my photographer for my bridal shower. Thank god they did! From detail shots to portraits with friends and family to all of the candid moments- Siobhan captured it all! Siobhan kept all lines of communication open as the wedding day approached. She had us fill out documents to update her on wedding details, family portraits, group pictures, and any “must-have” pictures we wanted to capture. Siobhan also shared a list of helpful suggestions and items to start putting together for detailed shots. She went above and beyond to put together a timeline of the day and helped put my mind at ease during the last few weeks of planning. Thank god we had Siobhan on the day of the wedding! We were married on a golf course, and the grounds manager told us we needed to wait to take pictures on the course because it would start pouring. Siobhan quickly took out her phone to look at the radar and insisted we go out on the golf course. Our pictures are beautiful— full of Sun and Smiles. No other photographer would have fought for us to get those pictures!!! She kept our bridal party in line and made sure we followed the exact timeline we had planned together. I did not have to worry about anything with her by my side. Siobhan sent us our edited “sneak peaks”… THE NEXT DAY!!! Our whole gallery was ready within one month of our wedding day. She captured everything! We are OBSESSED and couldn’t wait to share them with our families. We can’t recommend Siobhan enough! You NEED her as your photographer!

I was so happy when Jasmine was able to photograph my small elopement on short notice! She was so nice with me and all my family and friends, and really felt like a part of my small ceremony. 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.

Jason Snorlax Photography

Norwalk, CA
  • Photographer
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $3,500
  • Serves Stratford, CT

Jason "Snorlax" Cun is an all around photographer that currently resides in Los Angeles, California. He was raised in the heart of Los Angeles, where he found his calling in photography. He aims to capture the beauty of the world and the people in them. He has recently begun his travels around the U.S capturing the life of those within that city.

Jason was recommended to me by a family member, and to this day, I'm so grateful. Jason was so quick with communication. He responded and asked for details from the very beginning. He was easy to talk to. We ended up booking him for our engagement photos AND our wedding photos. Our engagement photo session was seamless. Jason was easy to work with and he made my (now) husband and I feel so comfortable. Photo sessions do NOT have to be awkward with Jason. He recommended the LA Arboretum and the Pasadena City Hall for our shoot and we couldn't have asked for any better location. Jason knew exactly where to go and what to do. When it came time for our wedding day, Jason and Mae (his second) were so nice. They did not rush us for any photoshoot. He had us take our time, take breathers, and helped us stress about one less thing during the day. We just got our photos back and they are downright GORGEOUS. I could not believe these were us. I am still amazed by it all. The turnover time was so quick as well. Again, communication was so easy with him. I HIGHLY recommend Jason as a photographer. We could not have asked for anyone better.

Sam is truly amazing person and photographer. First off, every conversation you have with Sam, whether it be a phone call or texting, she truly cares about the small details and wants your day to be perfect. We knew we made the right decision when we got back our engagement photos - they were beautiful! Days leading up to the wedding Sam was fully available to answer any and all questions. As an experienced wedding photographer she was able to gave helpful suggestions and ideas. She went through the shoot list, making sure she knew who everyone was and perfecting the days timeline.

Meg's work speaks for itself - she is so talented at what she does! She was amazing to work with from the first time I reached out to her to the big day. I sent over some ideas prior to my hair trial and after sharing a picture of my dress, she helped me pick the perfect style to match it. It made the trail so easy and minimal changes had to be made to achieve the perfect look. On the big day, she was on time, professional, and so much fun to work with. My hair tends to get frizzy very easily when it's down (in this case half down), but she made sure it stayed looking amazing all night long, despite lots of dancing and even some rain in the evening. I cannot say enough good things about her! She's so talented and made me feel so beautiful on my wedding day. I highly recommend her to everyone and anyone looking for a hairstylist for their wedding!

Essie Cohen Makeup LLC 

5.0

Katonah, NY
  • Beauty professional
  • Serves Stratford, CT

I have loved doing makeup since I was in middle school, always an artist and creative and when I discovered makeup it seemed The world aligned. My passion for people and sharing experiences with my clients and my love for makeup makes this my favorite thing I’ve ever done. My relationships with my clients is my favorite part.

Essie was my makeup artist for my June 22, 2024 wedding, and I simply cannot recommend her enough. She is thoughtful, kind, and incredibly professional with her brides. Though she has done hundreds (or maybe even thousands?) of weddings, she took the time to personalize my look for ME, and to encourage me to be honest if I wanted any tweaks. Her energy is so calm and positive- the exact thing you need in a hectic bridal suite. She worked FAST and even kept us ahead of schedule- which I believe is unheard of for the wedding day! Her assistant Riley made skin prep a total dream, and many of my bridesmaids said it was the best professional makeup they've ever received. However, Essie became more than a makeup artist throughout my planning process. When our photographer needed to cancel, she saw my post in a bridal FB group and immediately texted me to send about 25 photography recs- following up to be sure I'd found someone. When I posted in that same group asking for help finding a sponsor for our country club venue, Essie jumped in to help. She went WAY above and beyond what a vendor does for a client, and instead acted as a genuine friend. It's hard to fully put into words how wonderful she is, but booking with Essie is a no-brainer.

I am a certified wedding and event planner, I've been working in the wedding industry for over a decade. I started off as an event planners assistant and soon found myself working for various venues. I studied at the Fashion Institute of Technology where I began building the foundation for my company. In 2013 I officially launched my wedding and event planning business in Sullivan County, NY. While I have planned dozens of weddings you can expect the upmost professionalism and confidence. My passion and attention to detail for this industry does not go unnoticed. I want to give every couple the opportunity to enjoy their wedding day!

Kayce was THE critical part in making our wedding day come together smoothly. She was communicative with us on finalizing all our details and also ensuring all our vendors were licensed and clear on day of operations. She was knowledgeable about important aspects that, us as first time newlyweds, wouldn't have known to consider/confirm/ask. We felt confident about it all coming together with her! She handled everything so professionally that even if there might have been stressors ( every wedding no doubt has) we either weren't aware of the background logistics, or things were communicated in a clear and calm way-- this is SO important!!! Kayce knows her stuff. We couldn't recommend her enough!!! Thank you for making our dream day come together so beautifully!

I'm a Vermont-based photographer that specializes in weddings, families, and seniors. Why? Because there’s nothing quite like feeling the exhilarating energy, gentle love, and infinite kindness within a family.

Julie/Maple Leaf Photography was an absolute joy to work with for our wedding photography. Her communication style is easygoing yet direct, and she clearly knows her craft inside and out. Julie was very attentive to detail throughout the process - she gave us clear, quick instructions to keep things moving smoothly on our big day. She deeply values capturing high quality photos, and her passion and skill truly shined through in the final products that beautifully encapsulated special moments from our wedding. Some examples that stood out: Julie has a knack for keeping subjects comfortable and collected amidst the hustle and bustle of a hectic wedding day. She always comes fully prepared for anything unexpected. And she has a special eye for finding and framing gorgeous shots. I couldn't recommend Maple Leaf Photography highly enough for wedding photography services!

When I first started wedding photography, I didn’t realize how quickly I would fall in love! Through my clients I have had the pleasure of watching many love stories come to fruition, capturing their most special day. Wedding photography is not just a job, it’s a true passion that I do because I love it. The long wedding days, the planning - I cherish every moment of it!

Ephe was the best photographer ever. I was one of the last people in my friend group to get married and I’ve seen some photography disasters happen the day of. Ephe had none of that and all of my friends loved her and her work ethic. She is very punctual and organized. She understood the vibe that I was going for and she had my sneak peeks and all of my wedding pictures edited super quick! I wish I lived closer to Ephe so I could hire her for all of my photography needs.

I reside in Jersey City, New Jersey, serving New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, and beyond. I grew up surrounded by family photos. My parents had a professional photography business, Infinity Photography, back in the days of film. My friend asked me to do her senior portraits, so I started my photography business after my parent's business was closed for nearly 20 years. Fun fact, I chose "Grey" because I'm a nerd, and I love Jean Grey - she's my fave X-men. Also, my name is hard to spell, especially when you hear it. It's like "Leah" with a "Tuh."

Taliya gave us the absolute best wedding photography experience. She was extremely professional and quick to answer any questions at any point along the way. She made sure every detail was arranged before hand so there were 0 surprises along the way and day of. Not to mention that the photos turned out phenomenal. She was great at posing and framing to get the best shots and made sure that everything got pictured and captured from our special day. Would recommend 100%

I HIGHLY recommend our videographer Justin at Villa films. Funny story was, we actually won a photo booth with him. That’s how we came across him and saw he also offered other services. We wanted to use him for one of his other services because we were so thankful for winning the photo booth. He just started in the wedding industry not too long ago, but he is an absolute dream to work with !! Even with eveything changing with COVID he has stayed consistent. Having our zoom meetings with him actually got me excited for our wedding again that we had in January. I was always able to reach him if I had any questions. My favorite thing was he worked with us and our budget. He would listen to everything that was impotent to us and what we wanted in the video. If your looking for videographers I would definitely talk to Justin. He is truly amazing at what he does!

Hi, Thanks for reading! Here's my photography short story: 2017, after 13 years of teaching, I said goodbye to the classroom and pursued Olympic weightlifting photography- my company was Everyday Lifters. Shortly after, I launched my wedding business. The Long Version: Weightlifting has taken me to places like Turkmenistan, Germany, & across the country! The weightlifters started getting married, and along the way, I received training to advocate for diverse bodies as a photographer. During this time of transition, I started taking documenting courses through the International Center of Photography and work on documenting local stories.

Choosing a photographer is always hard, it is even more nerve racking when choosing your wedding photographer. That wasn’t the case when we met and connected with Viviana. Viviana from the start was able to put us at ease and was incredibly welcoming. She was very open and helpful as we navigated the planning process. During the day of our wedding we felt like we were in safe and good hands. We didn’t feel like we had to act a certain way or pose in an inauthentic manner. We felt at ease and like our true selves throughout. Viviana’s approach and warmth helped us be our true selves and embrace the day to its fullest. When we received the photos we were thrilled about how they all came out. We loved that each picture captured a special moment on our special day. Whether that was at our first look, ceremony, or when we hit the dance floor. We included pictures to our friends along with our thank you notes. It was an absolute pleasure to partner with Viviana on our wedding day photography. We highly recommend her and her work for your wedding!

Forever a lover of nature, I draw inspiration from the natural world and am most at peace and at home among the plants and trees.

In 2013 I found myself fusing my love for art and flowers when I began working in floral design. I quickly fell in love with the ritual of creating with fresh florals. In the years since, I've had the opportunity to hone my skills and style and provide unique and gorgeous designs for some wonderful couples.

Lauren was amazing. She did flowers for my bridal shower and wedding. I knew the colors I wanted but not really specifics. She asked me questions and then was able to get ideas and offer several options for me to choose from. Everything was immaculate from the rich reds and the pops from the bamboo. I loved them and got compliments from tons of guests/family.

We (Melissa & Michael) became wedding photographers because we truly believe we have something different to bring to the table. Our goals are simple: to help you relive each moment of your wedding day every time you look at your images, make you feel comfortable in front of the camera, and blend into the crowd like we're your guests. We pride ourselves on open & honest communication with our couples, a seamless booking-through-wedding-day process, super speedy photo delivery, and lending a helping hand in any way we can.

This review is long overdue and well deserved. If you only have time to read one more sentence: Hire Melissa and be confident that you will get the photos and vision you want on your special day! We partnered with Melissa at Sava Studio for our wedding this past September and she shot, composed and edited our engagement photos as well. Melissa as a vendor is responsive, friendly, knowledgeable, creative and gregarious. She was always open and transparent with us, patient listening to what we thought we wanted and our vision and was always available to offer feedback as we requested. She walked us through the entire wedding process with respect to the photography aspect and she also offered assistance as we needed in related areas as we got closer to our wedding date. Our first interaction with her was our engagement photo shoot and Melissa made my partner and I feel comfortable while she was shooting and she was very flexible in the shots we wanted to take and what we wanted to see. Very importantly for me, Melissa has a great eye for a memorable photo! Getting to see the raw photos as well as the edited ones Melissa showed us her talent and professionalism. We shot in bright sunlight, shade and darker areas and Melissa was able to handle it all. Our wedding was a few months later at our parents house and the area that the ceremony took place in was unique in that there were a lot of trees/shadows/light patterns to manage. Melissa handled it all! She and her partner used every trick in the book to get the best photos of my wife and I and were able to take some classic natural/unposed shots of us. It speaks to her professionalism and vision that she knew where to be and when to get the best shots! Post-wedding, Melissa had us a sizable preview to review almost 24 hours after the wedding so she could collect feedback before sending us our final photo collection. Once sent, Melissa/Sava made it very easy for us to share photos with family and friends and access them in the future for when we wanted to reminisce. We can't thank Melissa enough and we recommend Melissa at Sava for all of your photography needs!

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.

Without Beckerman Planning, we would not have had the wedding of our dreams. Garbriella worked around the clock before and during our wedding to ensure EVERYTHING was covered and taken care of. Before the Wedding, Garbriella kept us on track; regularly checking in and suggesting next steps to ensure we stayed ahead of everything wedding planning. Her knowledge was essential in discussing quotes with vendors, making major decisions, and keeping us calm as the big date approached. We were extremely impressed with her professionalism when dealing with vendors, and can’t thank her enough for playing hard ball when the moments got tough and we were too stressed to do so. During the wedding weekend, I cannot stress enough the importance of having the Beckerman Planning team on-site. From setup until breakdown, the team was working non-stop to help us have the perfect wedding. The team was there setting up and ensuring that every vendor brought everything that was contracted and everything was in perfect order. Including staying late the night before to ensure a vendor fixed a major mistake with our seating chart. On the day of the event, it felt like magic how everything was just done before we could even think about it. We were able to relax and truly enjoy our day, not having to worry about ANYTHING. Garbriella even taught all the Groomsmen how to put on their boutonnieres!!! The schedule Garbriella put together was a lifesaver, and even better was her ability to ensure everyone was in the right place at the right time. We could seriously go on all day about the amazing things this team did for us, down to every little detail. Garbriella made sure throughout the day that we were not stressing or worrying. She happily jumped in at a moments notice to any and every request we had without hesitation. Going above and beyond is an understatement to the dedication the Beckerman Planning team brings to your event. We were ecstatic to get back to the Airbnb and find that Garbriella had already been there - with all of our leftover pizza waiting for us for a late night snack. The Beckerman Planning team even continued to work after our event to make sure everything was accounted for, we were not overcharged, and checking in on how we felt. Garbriella is truly a superstar and if you want the wedding or event of the year, she’s the one to hire to make that happen!

All of our guests commented that the music at our wedding was lovely and really tied the whole event together. Our venue did not allow DJ's or amplified sound and Astrograss had no problem playing everything acoustically. They were really great communicating before our event. They learned 5 songs at our request and let us pick plenty others for them to play from their extensive repertoire.

We’ve had the pleasure of working with Reese for 3 different photo shoots! First, Reese was hired as our surprise photographer when my (then boyfriend) proposed to me on Shelter Island. Reese did an absolutely amazing job hiding out until the moment struck, and I didn’t realize she was even there capturing each precious moment until she finally popped out with the most genuine excitement! She made that day even more special, and having her take our photos for the next hour after saying “yes” was the perfect way to celebrate. We immediately hired her to shoot our engagement session to compile photos for our save the dates, invitations, and wedding website. She traveled into Manhattan for us and created the most fairytale and dreamlike photo shoot all around the most picturesque places in Central Park! Of course, Reese was also our wedding photographer and we can’t imagine that day without her. She is so creative, full of fun energy, thoughtful, organized, timely, and above all talented! Each and every photo she’s taken is instantly our favorite and we have already locked her down for another photo shoot for our anniversary. Shooting with Reese is like shooting with your best friend, and as soon as you meet her she becomes just that :).

From my first moment as a wedding photographer, I knew I wanted to kick tradition to the curb. I was tried of seeing wedding photography that excluded the communities that I hold closest. I work hard to form a real connection with each of my clients to craft an experience that captures their unique spirit.

Ashley is so perceptive and talented! I told her a little bit about us and our style and she created the right balance between moodiness and fun that we wanted. She always got back to us just under 24 hours and answered every question that we had. She is dedicated to her clients and their needs. I enjoyed being in her company because she made us feel comfortable. She understood our needs and never pressured us to do anything out of our comfort zone. We are a more laid back, care-free couple, so we gave Ashley lots of space to experiment and it definitely paid off. If nothing else has convinced you, we have already booked our 1 year anniversary photos with her and I will continue to go back to her for any event that should be photographed.

Lori and Scott are both so talented and just so fun. It literally felt like they were part of the family & they kept the party going all night. They take so much pride in their set up too to make sure the speakers & the sound really work for the space. They also set up the microphone and speakers for the ceremony which was a huge help. We also had added Billy on the percussions for the reception and that was such a big hit to really turn up the party. They read the crowd so well & got our vibe instantly, I felt like I handpicked the set list because it was one favorite song followed by another and another! They performed a bunch of custom requested songs for us and knocked it out of the park. It made our day extra special.

Hi I'm Jackie, and I literally love my job! I’m a New England-based photographer for the last 18 years. I have to admit though, I love taking this one woman show on the road and travel makes me the happiest. I have been lucky enough to shoot destination weddings in England, Iceland, and Alaska. I would describe my photography style as very laid back and natural. The little in between moments make for the best photos, and I’m not about capturing awkward prom poses and forced smiles. I want the real stuff - the stuff that’ll make you laugh till your cheeks hurt and will make your heart beat faster.

Jackie was the best to work with. I'm not huge on being photographed, but she was great at making us feel comfortable. She was also easy to get in touch with, responding to emails within a few days. I'm glad we did an engagement shoot to get to know her a little before the wedding day and help ease the photography anxiety. We got a handful of sneak peek shots a few weeks after the wedding, which was exciting, followed by the full set of photos a few weeks after that. The photos are beautiful and capture our day perfectly. I don't even remember seeing her at the ceremony I was so focused on everything else, but she captured it and all our emotions beautifully. She also was very good at getting through the portrait photos quickly, as I had a lot of family members to move around. Very happy to have worked with her.

Video exists in my life as an extension of everything I love about photography. Something drew me to it, and with the ever expanding video modes of my photo cameras, practice became commonplace. Being able to tell storying audibly as well as visually adds a level of depth that is hard to reach within photography. You can feel the story take you through a place in time. Moment capturing in all its beauty.

Awarded Best of Zola
I’m not sure if Alex knows this, but the first wedding I ever shot was with him and I was so nervous! Transitioning into weddings has not been easy but Alex was so kind and helpful. He never once made me feel inferior or uneducated (can’t say that for everyone I’ve worked with). I don’t care if you’re the best photographer in the world- if you’re an a**hole I don’t want to work with you. Looking at Alex’s portfolio, it’s obvious he’s a great photographer. More importantly, he’s relaxed, gentle and easygoing. Ive seen him pivot when the skies opened up and started downpouring 5 minutes before an outdoor ceremony was set to start and he never once panicked. Know that out of all the stressful things that can happen when planning and executing a wedding, photography won’t be one of them with Alex on your team. I look forward to working together again.

Out of all the various art mediums I believe photography is the most personal. There is a certain degree of trust that is bestowed upon the artist to truly capture a moment and allow it to transcend the test of time. I truly love my job. My work will tell your story. My passion is to highlight, document and capture that story artfully. My commitment is to deliver the highest quality images while not compromising the importance of your day, always mindful that this is your day and your moment. My work is colorful, textural, cinematic, and able to transform common ground places into works of art you will revisit, share, and look to forever.

There is truly nothing like selecting the perfect photographer for your engagement or wedding day. I myself and super passionate about art, design, photography and creative direction, so I knew I wanted to find a photographer that would allow me to be apart of the process in order to bring my ideas to life. Alberto and I had a few brainstorming calls where we went through my (many! Ha) mood boards, hopes, dreams and ideas for my engagement shoot in New York City. Having these calls together really solidified I made the right decision in vendor— he just fully understood where I wanted to take this shoot. I can be a tough client— I am very particular, a perfectionist if you will, and I also work in the creative industry myself. Alberto stepped up to the task gracefully and absolutely knocked it out of the park. My vision came to life from the lighting to the locations to the editing (not too much— you’ll never catch Alberto throwing a filter on you!). Lighting and editing were super key to me— there’s no one size fits all and Alberto truly finds a way to make each shoot (even photo) unique. I cannot speak more highly of Alberto and his art. His technique is Uber-personal and it really shows throughout your photos. He’ll make you feel at ease in front of the camera, and allow for your personalities (big or small!) to really shine. If you haven’t booked Alberto Media for your engagement and/or wedding, what are you waiting for?

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.

I worked with Nicole for one of my very first video jobs at a wedding in Newport, RI. I can say having her as one of my first colleagues was a blessing! The way she treated all the vendors and the families at the wedding was admirable. She is extremely kind and welcoming and went above and beyond to assist the bride with anything that arose.

For as long as I can remember, I have had a passion for travel and landscape photography. Today my wedding photography is deeply influenced by the natural beauty found in the scenery around us, as well as the important moments between a couple. I am also a science and math teacher, and I have a background in Marine Biology. I think one reason I am a good wedding photographer is my keen sense of observation and attention to detail! Whenever I have free time I love to cook and travel with my wife, brew beer, and run.

I 100% recommend booking Matthew Rigby as your wedding photographer! He was in the truest sense the definition of a professional. He has all of the qualities that make a wedding photographer amazing. My wife and I were instantly impressed by his organization and communication. He took the time to get to know us over the phone by asking questions about our lives, our story, and what photo theme we were interested in. He had examples on his website for different styles that made our decisions easier. Prior to the wedding, he had an organized and detailed questionnaire that would ensure the wedding day goes smoothly. He made one of the most essential parts of a wedding (photography) so much less stressful on us. On wedding day, he continued to impress us. His organization, positive attitude, ability to stay structured, but also be flexible to our last minute requests was remarkable. We were able to enjoy part of our cocktail hour thanks to his quick work after the ceremony. One of my favorite qualities about Matthew was his ability to capture special moments and allow the bride and groom private and intimate moments to share on the wedding day during the reception. He pulled us aside to capture the most stunning sunset picture that is one of my favorite pictures and moments together! Later in the night, he reminded us again to have a moment outside of the venue to cherish each other as newlyweds, and yet again, captured incredible moments that I will always remember. The quality and artistic nature of Matthew's photos are exactly what you want on your wedding day. We will have these incredible pictures for years! We can tell that Matthew does wedding photography for the right reasons. He spent so much time with the bride and bridesmaids for the getting ready pictures prior to the event. He captured every important moment during the ceremony. He continued to spend hours at our reception capturing the party atmosphere during dancing, cake cutting, and all of the moments I will be able to remember and relive thanks to his attention to detail and experience as a wedding photographer. One unique feature at the end of the night was he printed and framed a few of the best photos from the night and gave them as gifts to the bride and groom, and parents of the bride and groom. Seeing the photos in person so quickly the night of the wedding and having something to take back with us was remarkable. We cannot recommend Matthew more highly. He is a true professional, and the photographs that he took, edited, and delivered to us for download are flawless! You will not regret for one moment booking Matthew Rigby as your wedding photographer!

I met Jamie while he was DJing at a venue in Manhattan many moons ago. I was immediately pleased with the music he chose and went up to the booth and we got to talking about music and art. He was so easy going and truly in tune with the beat of the venue. We kept in touch and I then went to several more of his venues where he was DJing with friends and also with my (now) husband. When we decided to get married and keep it really small our one must-have was excellent music because we love dancing but are not fans of standard wedding DJ music. I immediately contacted Jamie and on short notice he was able to schedule a meeting with us to discuss our needs. Jamie came prepared with a list of questions and helped us work through the different moods we wanted to set and organized the music choices. We gave him some ideas and he did the legwork of deciding what specific songs would lead into each of the unique parts of a wedding and reception (dancing, eating, more dancing, only the young people dancing, etc.). To this day my husband and I talk about how much fun we had at our wedding and how we were really able to make every piece of it ours - right down to the music that was not pulled off some Billboard chart but that truly reflected us and the people in our lives. In fact Jamie was so great the venue asked if he would be willing to come back and DJ some of their future events :)

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.

We loved Sheila! She was so much fun and our pictures came out perfect!!
