The Stately Rose was amazing to work with right from the start. All of my questions were answered promptly and they made the entire process seamless. My hair and makeup trial went perfect. The studio is also so cute and made for a fun day. Marielly did my makeup and Vika did my hair. They both absolutely killed it.

Hiring Pam and her team for my HMU services for my wedding was one of my best decisions!!! From the very beginning, she was quick to respond, professional, and so kind. At my hair and makeup trial she took my Inspo pics and ran with my vision. On the wedding day we made some slight tweaks and she absolutely nailed my soft glam summery look. I was (still am!) obsessed with my hair and makeup that day. I chose to have hair extensions and they looked so natural, as well. Pam was kind enough to send me recommendations for extensions, too! Pam provided a touch-up kit to use throughout the day but we didn’t even need it- our makeup lasted all night long (over 12 hours without any issues on an 85 July day). Everyone was so talented and really made all my favorite women look and feel their best. Besides their professional and expertise, the women made the morning of my wedding so much FUN! Pam and her team were on time, ahead of schedule, friendly, personable, and made the morning so calm and relaxing. I truly couldn’t have asked for a better crew to provide both glam and hype to the day! Hire them immediately- you won’t regret it! THANK YOU for making our wedding day so amazing!

Ben has been fantastic. He was in charge of making the video for our wedding day and he did an amazing job! Very professional and great to work with during the preparations, the wedding day and afterwards for editing the final videos- a big thank you!! Ben is a great listener and puts clients first. He was very perceptive on the couple's liking to Boston and included some scenic parts of the city in our highlight reel ( it was special to me!) - We had a Sangeet ceremony followed by Bollywood and Classical dances. Ben did a great job in understanding the program timeline and coordinated so well with the photographer. We planned our wedding from London and Ben's response time was impeccable that planning from continents apart didn't make a difference. My best part while establishing the contract/planning with Ben was that we only had to go through the details once. He executed it so well!!! Didn't rush us in any follow ups and was always considerate of our schedule - That's definitely a bonus celebration when the wedding planning gets busier and there's a lot on our plate. My husband and I truly enjoyed working with Ben. He is a very kind person we have met! We look forward to working with Ben again in the future for another event, and wish him the best!

I’m blessed to be turning what started as a small hobby into an incredible journey where I get to capture such intimate moments in couple's lives.

An ambivert, my camera allows me to work where I know I work best, behind-the-scenes, front row at some of the most profound moments in people's lives. In a pinch though, I'll be there carrying the train, making sure you don't get your shoes dirty and helping to support you where I can throughout your wedding day!

One thing you should know about me is that I don't really party, but I CANNOT resist tearing up the dance floor if the music gets me going. I just got married this past weekend and words cannot express how much FUN everyone had. Andy was SO kind, personable, and accommodating. These guys played every single song I requested and read the energy of the room incredibly well. There was never a moment where the dance floor wasn't full - and we only had about 60 people at our wedding! I cannot recommend this company strongly enough. Thank you, Andy!

Sara from Muse Art Co. is a dream for anyone planning any event. Her creative vision is truly incredible, and she did absolutely everything to bring our wedding alive. I was in absolute awe (and tears) when I saw my bouquet on our wedding day, and even more so when I saw our ceremony and reception spaces. I loved that she also repurposed our gorgeous ceremony flowers so they could be enjoyed throughout the night! Sara communicated with me throughout the entire planning process and made sure that we were on the same page. She created a gorgeous mood board to begin the design process with only a few key words. Little did I know, she was going to blow everything that I could have expected out of the water! Sara is a true artist, and has a creative vision unlike anyone I have ever known. Her design has life, movement, love, and she can truly transform a space. Sara is the hardest worker that I have ever met, and she puts her blood, sweat and tears into her work. I could not recommend Sara and Muse Art Co. more. Thank you so much!

Her work was organized, efficient, and creative. She brought my vision for the wedding to life perfectly, turning down no idea and executing even my most ambitious tasks with ease. Allison's attention to detail ensured everything ran smoothly despite some weather challenges. When a huge downpour and wind burst threatened to disrupt things, she worked swiftly behind the scenes to make it all look perfect again - as the bride, I barely even noticed! I appreciated her calm, capable presence on such a hectic day.

He had his music ready to go when we were scrambling around trying to find a solution. The reception music was excellent and we had a packed dance floor the whole night. We even saw a bunch of people who say that they never dance at weddings filling the dance floor. Highly recommend Matt and Style Points!!

Awarded Best of Zola
I can't say enough good things about FlowerWorks and Rachel -- and neither can our wedding guests! Our flowers were truly the talk of our wedding, but what our guests didn't get to see was how Rachel took my very limited knowledge and vision for our florals (lots of texture, color, etc.) and turned it into the arrangements of our dreams. Her knowledge of flowers was evident in our proposal, which included photos of each type of flower which helped paint the picture of possibility for us. She even helped my mom surprise me with a special pin made of her veil for my bouquet, making our day-of and getting ready time even more memorable. From start to finish, I would not have changed a thing and cannot recommend Rachel and FlowerWorks enough!

I found Shelby when I was in another wedding, and she was the first vendor I hired after getting engaged and starting the process! She is incredibly well versed in her Hair & Makeup practice, can deal with a perfectionist like me, and just some how feels like you've known her forever. Which makes everything, a stressful time for many brides who might not be feeling themselves, just feel, so, easy. She will make a timeline with you, but can just as easily roll with any hiccups that happen the day of. And I wanted color used on my eyes for my wedding day and let me tell you - color, neutral, natural, glam - this lady can do it all and make you feel like a million dollars. If you regret anything from your wedding, don't let it be hair and makeup and don't miss booking Shelby!!!!!!

  • Videographer
  • Cinematic style

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!

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!

Her eye for the right time to capture a photo is phenomenal! She also has many pose ideas. She works well with small or large groups. Her edits are beautiful and she gets them done in a timely fashion. She gave us a sneak peak in the meantime and answered any questions that we asked about them.

This little hobby of mine that started back in 2015 has become an absolute dream come true!!

I knew from the start that I wanted my business to be focused on creating an amazing wedding experience that caters to each couple in a unique and memorable way! I pour myself into each couple because that's what a wedding day should be about! I also love Ninja Warrior, Starbucks, and my sweet kitty Feather!!

Awarded Best of Zola
My wife and I had an absolutely traumatic photography search experience. Our original photographer never panned out, was shady, and never made it seem like they cared about the product. That's why when we decided to search for someone new and stumbled upon Chelsea, we knew the stars were aligning at the the correct time with this absolute blessing in disguise. From our first meeting, Chelsea listened to us, understood what we were coming from and where we wanted to go in terms of our photos. Her breathtaking bright and colorful photos were exactly what we were looking for in our April wedding. Despite meeting in person for the first time the day of our wedding, the lead up and communication day of made it feel like we were old friends seeing each other again. Both her and her husband/second shooter Ryan are top notch. They executed all the fun little quirks we wanted perfectly, including our groomsmen "NFL Entrance" photos, and private "First Touch". They stayed through most of the night and captured the entire reception, intros, dances, and party. We left for our honeymoon less than 2 days later, and by the time we landed, we already had 100 (!) photos as a sneak peek. The turnaround time was incredible. Chelsea prides herself on connecting with her clients, keeps her promises, and delivers exceptionally. We count our lucky stars we found Chelsea Lavallee Photography when we did. She made our day complete. Thank you Chelsea & Ryan!

Sylwia was an absolute joy to work with! She captured the most beautiful moments that felt natural. Her style of photography is absolutely timeless and so elegant. She even helped me plan out my entire wedding timeline to ensure we would have enough time to capture every detail. She went above and beyond to help ensure our wedding day ran smoothly and on time. We absolutely adore our sneak peek photos and we cannot wait to get the rest of them! Highly recommend Sylwia for any photography needs!

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!

I am based out of Connecticut + New England but also travel for destination weddings. I am passionate about creating long lasting memories with my clients. I love to travel (15+ countries and counting!), discover new places and meet new people. Fun fact: I'm a french citizen that moved to the United States in 2016.

Ben was the person we were most excited to work with for our wedding, and for good reason. He is the most chill, in a 'no pressure' kind of way, when it came to coming up with plans, and was so cool about our event being less photo moments and more laid back and candids. He hung out with our friends and families the night before and everyone loved him, fit in just like he was one of our good friends. And, of course, our photos came out absolutely stunning, we cannot stop looking through them! An absolute pleasure to work with, and a breath of fresh air in an industry that can make a girl go a little crazy. Thank you for everything!3

Shukhrat Kamalov Photography

Southington, CT
  • Photographer
  • Editorial style

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!

Believe it our not music was the MOST important thing to me as a bride. Ive had the privilege of working with Atmosphere Productions for many years now as I am a wedding photographer myself. One thing I always knew was, when I’d be working with Sam as a vendor, it would be a stress-free, well coordinated and energetic wedding. His pure love for music is infectious and even on the days when I was exhausted from working for 12 hours, you’d always catch me out on the dance floor if he was the dj. So when I choose him for my own wedding, it felt like a no-brainer. One thing I made clear up front is that a lot of our music might not be typical and that we wanted the music to literally be the soundtrack to the day through our eyes. Music has been a BIG part of our relationship and we wanted that to be part of our wedding just as much. When I worried that my choices in music might be too obscure or not even available- Sam assured me he had everything we choose and more. He understood the “feeling,” we wanted and simply took our suggestions and filled the rest with his picks which we loved since he is the expert! The preparation prior to the wedding was what surprised me the most. Being a wedding photographer I had NO idea what was involved for the DJ. This was very eye opening and Sam took the time to sporadically check in, throughly go through each step of the day and easily accommodated our not-so-traditional families. He asked questions and mapped things out so that by the time the day came I KNEW Sam had everything he needed and even when a couple things changed that day he took care of it like a rockstar. All the care, time and energy Sam provided for our day made him the best choice and his rates match his quality ten times over. Thank you so much Sam for sharing your talent with us and being part of the best day of our lives!

We had the pleasure of hiring a documentary-style wedding photographer for our special day, and I couldn't be happier with the results. Their ability to capture candid moments and genuine emotions was truly remarkable. The photos tell a story that goes beyond posed shots, giving us a vivid and authentic memory of our wedding. Their attention to detail is impeccable, and they have a keen eye for capturing the little moments that often go unnoticed. From the laughter shared between guests to the heartfelt glances exchanged during the ceremony, every emotion was beautifully documented. Not only did they capture the essence of the day, but they did so with a level of professionalism and discretion that put everyone at ease. They seamlessly blended into the background, allowing for natural interactions and genuine expressions to shine through. Their post-processing work enhanced the photos without veering into heavy editing, maintaining the genuine feel of the day. The color palettes and tones used in the final edits were tastefully done, adding to the overall storytelling. We wholeheartedly recommend this photographer to anyone seeking more than just pictures – they deliver an emotional journey through their lens.

I worked with Virginia for my October 2023 wedding and we also did a hair and makeup trial a few months prior. Virginia was so warm, friendly, and professional and delivered exactly what I asked for! I never wear makeup so I was nervous about wearing wedding makeup and asked her to help me look/feel like myself and she did just that. She took feedback extremely well and incorporated that feedback on the wedding day to help me feel my best! She made me feel so comfortable. My hair was amazing and she ensured my headpiece stayed secure - and it lasted and looked great all night! She did an amazing job with my mom and MOH as well - they both absolutely loved their looks, especially my mom who also doesn’t wear makeup regularly. I didn’t really consider that this is the vendor you spend your whole wedding morning with, which can really affect the energy as you prepare to get married. Virginia’s energy was so positive and really added to my day, which I am super grateful for. She felt like a longtime friend. Highly recommend her!!

So, you need a makeup artist? You've come to the right place. Makeup has always been a passion in my life. I started dancing at three years old and with a mother whose makeup routine is a tinted lip balm and blush as a foundation -- let's just say we learned together over the years or rather, once I learned she just let me take over. I was confidently the only seven-year-old in my class getting myself ready for my recitals. From then on I was hooked, I mean makeup was an activity that encouraged the use of glitter... need I say anymore?

We hired Laura and her team for a large Indian wedding last July and they were wonderful. Beautiful work, and flexible as the timeline changed unexpectedly. We appreciate them!!

I had my wedding ceremony and reception at The Hills Labor Day weekend of 2022. The venue is beautiful and perfectly manicured. The new pergola was a nice touch. The reception space is beautiful from the minute you walk in the doors. The views in the main room are stunning and breathtaking. The gold chairs and high ceilings make the room feel very grand and are a great setting for a wedding. Frank was very accommodating to all our requests. Allison was amazing- she anticipated and exceeded our needs and wants from the early stages of planning to providing helpful updates during the party. Everything ran smoothly and was handled eloquently. The staff was attentive and friendly. The Bartenders were smiling all night long. All my guests were complimenting the delicious food and gorgeous venue. The bridal suite was perfect for me and my wedding party to gather ourselves before the ceremony.

My name is Emily. I'm 27. Born and raised New Englander. Attended Central Connecticut State University. Got a bachelors, had a kid, blah blah blah. Let’s talk photography. There is something to be said about capturing the raw moments in life. I thrive on candid, unposed, real emotion. Every person I have met on the other side of the camera has changed me for the better in one way or another. I'd love to work with you, so let's get the conversation started.

Emily was professional, responsive and went above and beyond to provide an excellent experience for us with our wedding photos. We were thrilled with how they turned out. Every moment was captured beautifully.

Positioned east of the Connecticut River on Main Street, The Webb Barn rises from the cozy community of Wethersfield and presents blissful couples a historical and enchanting place to tie the knot.

Constructed during the nineteenth-century, The Webb Barn provides brides and grooms a romantic meeting place to share vows and celebrate with family and friends.

I love the Webb barn. Beautiful garden and grounds, the barn is lovely. It was such a beautiful space and perfect for our vibe. Working with Katie was easy as well. They are very helpful for working with you for what you need and flexible. Just so you know - there is no day-of coordinator/on-site coordinator, though Katie was incredibly helpful in the planning process. We did have to clean up the night of the wedding - just FYI. Historic/ old Wethersfield is also super cute. Would 10/10 recommend.

Tyler is the best! My fiancee and I booked LeannWilliams after meeting them at a bridal expo. His work was stunning; truly works of art that so happened to feature a bride and groom. We were blown away by the lighting and composition of his photos but that was before working with him. Tyler is professional, responsive, and prompt. Aside from that he is creative, hilarious, great with people, and so laid back and flexible. We are not exactly 'picture people' but he steered us through the whole process with such ease it felt like we were all old friends. After a super fun afternoon we were anxious to get our pictures back. Tyler was transparent about timelines and the turnaround was swift. Our engagement pictures completely took our breath away. He captured our love as if it were a fairytale and I am so excited to see how our wedding photos will come out. Cannot recommend them highly enough!!

The Century Ballroom at the Bristol Event Center is a dream come true for couples who love to dance. This spacious venue boasts advanced lighting and sound systems, creating the perfect ambiance for a lively and unforgettable celebration. The elegant design and ample space allow for a variety of wedding styles, from classic to contemporary. With top-notch service and a dedicated staff, the Century Ballroom ensures that every wedding is a unique and joyous occasion, filled with lasting memories.

The Bristol Event Center made all our NYE wedding dreams come true! The venue is absolutely gorgeous, from the floor to ceiling windows, tall ceilings, huge bars, and high-end finishes. Everything was sparkling and new. Having two spacious hospitality suites upstairs to get ready in (or to touch-up during the reception) was a huge bonus. The staff at the BEC was amazing, from our initial tour to the day of. They are experts in the hospitality industry. They got back to us quickly with any question and were extremely accommodating with all our requests. Even our vendors commented how great they were to work with! Food was very important to us and the BEC nailed it! It was difficult to narrow down our hors d'oeuvres choices because everything was so amazing at the tasting. The chef was extremely accommodating to all our requests, including a huge raw bar during cocktail hour which was the talk of the wedding. Lastly, I can’t emphasize how convenient it was for our guests to stay in the hotel next door. Our guests stayed at the DoubleTree which was a 2 minute walk, or they could take one of the shuttles that staff were running back and forth. We also had our afterparty in one of the hotel ballrooms. Staff from both the BEC and Doubletree worked together to make this seamless. It will be even more convenient now that the connected Home2Suites is open for guests! Overall, our experience with the Bristol Event Center was a 1000/10. If you’re looking for a brand-new, sparkling venue with amazing service, food, and convenience, this is your place.

Hi friends! We’re Dan and Rebecca! After working together for many years, Dan won me (Rebecca) over with his genius cocktail creations and bartending skills. But, legend has it that my bartending skills are what really sealed the deal as we’re now married with two daughters, Scarlett and Josephine. We wanted to expand our love for liquor, meet new people, and make friends so we came up with The LiquoristMD. We had never heard of a mobile bar in Connecticut but were inspired by the many mobile bars we follow down South and the rest was history!

Rebecca and Dan were so great to work with for my June wedding. So many people complimented their service - and their amazing mobile bar!! It was a highlight of the night. They were so easy to work with from start to finish and went above and beyond. We are lucky we found them! Highly recommend.

Hey there ! I'm Bianca, the Founder of Bevida & Company. The idea for starting Bevida & Company stemmed from a deep appreciation of seeing loved ones come together, just like my family did for birthdays, holidays, and many other special occasions. After 16 years in the field and gaining valuable experience, I was inspired to establish a business that would create a unique bar experience that could foster those connections in the comfort of their own backyard.

I had the pleasure of hiring Bevida & Company for my wedding on September 16, 2023, and I cannot recommend them enough. The beautiful trailer bar added a unique touch to our fall backyard wedding, and the cocktails they served were absolutely delicious. One of the highlights was the his and hers cocktails they offered. The spicy guava margarita was a hit among the ladies, while the old fashion was a favorite among the gentlemen. It was a thoughtful touch that added a personal and special element. With over 80 guests in attendance, the efficiency and professionalism of the Bevida & Company team were truly impressive. No one had to wait long for a drink, which allowed our guests to fully enjoy themselves. If you're planning an upcoming rehearsal or wedding, I highly recommend considering Bevida & Company for your bar services. They provide exceptional cocktails that will ensure your guests mustard the liquid courage and enjoy dancing the night away!

Everyone absolutely loved it! Our guests are still talking about it! P.S. - Don't sleep on those mini grilled cheeses for the pass arounds - like OMG! The drinks were obviously great as well.

Courtney brings a relaxed, fun energy while maintaining complete professionalism. She made us and our guests feel comfortable in front of the camera. The end result is a stunning collection of photos that far exceeded our expectations. Courtney perfectly blended posed portraits with artistic candid shots to tell the story of our wedding day.

I began capturing images in high school at a young age and fell in love with the process of capturing raw moments on camera. I decided to pursue my dream and go to school in Boston for photography. Alongside this, I have my sociology degree and really understand and connect with so many people. To me, building strong connections with my clients is so important and I find myself being able to easily talk to people of all walks of life. My knowledge of people and passion for photography sparked my pathway into wedding photography; capturing love filled couples and all the emotions that come with getting married.

Working with Deirdre was one of the best parts of our wedding! We were glad to meet her beforehand at the engagement shoot - she really helped us feel comfortable and went above and beyond to get shots in some different locations that held special meaning for us. At the wedding, it is SO good to have a familiar face. She again made not just my husband and I but the whole wedding party feel comfortable. She dealt with family chaos like it was no problem at all (when people tell you that family photos are the most stressful part of the day - BELIEVE THEM). She has an excellent eye for detail and captured some truly beautiful shots. Our sneak peeks are great - I know the full album is going to be special!!

Photography has always been a passion of mine even after I started my career as a science teacher. I wake up everyday and teach 100+ kids in 9th and 10th grade about the wonder and beauty of the sciences. I also get to wake up everyday with a camera in hand, and connect to loved ones starting out on new paths. I have this strong desire to create art and speak the truth of other’s lives. Everyday I have an excitement for what's to come, and who I will be blessed with to capture. What never meant to become a business, slowly turned into this beautiful opportunity to be connected to so many amazing humans and invest in their lives.

Melanie was the best photographer for our wedding in May 2024 in Boston!!!! She was the perfect combination of professional, fun, on-top of her game, but also super chill and go with the flow. Which is exactly what we were looking for in all of our vendors. She made everyone feel so comfortable and would ask us funny or heart felt questions when we were taking group couple pictures to ensure she captured raw emotion and to keep things interesting. There was never a dull moment. Everyone from our bridal party family came up to me after and said how much they loved Melanie and her team. Couldn't recommend her enough!!!!!!!

We are Justin and Allison, a newly married husband and wife photography team serving all of New England and beyond! Our goal is to make you comfortable, and make sure each special moment of your day is preserved for you to look back on for years to come! We want the magical feeling you feel on your wedding day to live on each time you look at your photos, capturing a moment in time. We will rangle rogue uncles for group shots, crack a joke or two to get some genuine smiles, and overall make this process as easy and carefree as it should be on your big day!

We are SO thankful to have found Justin and booked him for our Wedding day 6/17/23. He was so helpful in working with us to develop a custom package to fit our needs. My now husband and I are both active duty, and were planning a Massachusetts-based wedding from Texas, and Justin was so helpful in being able to work with us and plan from afar. He was great at wrangling up our 12 person bridal party and our families to get all of the photos we could have wanted. He took photos all night of us and our guests, as well as all of the little details and decorations. We also had a last minute weather change where our wedding day, within days, shifted from sun to thunderstorms. I contacted Justin in a panic and he was so incredibly reassuring that we would have beautiful photos anyway and he adjusted perfectly. We are so happy and would recommend Justin and his team to anyone looking for a fair-priced, exceptionally talented photographer!!!!

With 13 years in business and four Top 3 Best of Hartford Wedding DJ Awards, this well rounded DJ has solidified her spot as a Top Wedding Professional in CT. She is ready collaborate and make your already special event even more epic!

Stephanie, aka DJ Stardust, DJed our wedding in June of 2023. Neither of us are huge music people, so we were looking for a DJ who could run with minimal direction, and Stephanie was exactly that! She was very organized and communicative leading up to the wedding day. She had a great form that we filled out with all the details you could possibly imagine in terms of songs we wanted/didn’t want/when, and she executed exactly as we expected. Our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception were in three different rooms/spaces, and Stephanie seamlessly moved through providing appropriate music (and emceeing) at each. The one special thing we asked her to do was coordinate a “photo dash” (where everyone sitting at each table comes up to the dance floor for a group photo within the time limit of one song), and she did it very well. She accidentally skipped a table at one point, but rather than making a big deal about it, she joked about it and everyone laughed. The photo dash was one of the most talked-about things after our wedding. Something unique that our venue offered was the chance for DJs to plug into a high-end speaker system they had installed for a small fee. We asked Stephanie to do this, and at first she was hesitant because she didn’t want to be using equipment she wasn’t familiar with day-of (understandably!). Of her own volition, she reached out to our venue and coordinated a time where she could go see the equipment and practice setting up to make sure it would work with her equipment and just generally feel it out. We really appreciated her going above and beyond in this way, and the day of the wedding went off with no issues at all.

Almost 20 years of experience and I still get as excited as I did when I first started photographing events! I got my BFA in photojournalism at Rochester Institute of Technology and my common sense from a well-lived, full life. From intimate weekday elopements to full scale destination events that require a team of photographers, I have done it all. I focus on telling the most full and vibrant story of your event, so you can look back and feel like you didn't missed a thing.

I've known Carla and have worked with her for over a decade! Being on the professional side of this industry, I am able to see not just how a vendor works with their couples but also the heart, soul, and absolute dedication they pour into every element behind the scenes that make such an impact in the service they provide. Something I've always witnessed with Carla is how personal she makes her process with her clients, which is so necessary, especially from a photography perspective! Your photographer is the person who captures every moment of your day you can think, and all the ones you can't. Having someone give you a forever memory of the real emotion, reactions, and who you are is so essential to the success and enjoyment of not just the day but the time leading up to it. That someone being able to connect with you is what allows that to happen, and Carla takes pride in how personal and truly special she makes going about this relationship. Her work is stunning, she is honest and forthcoming, and she has such a passion for what she does that it truly sets her apart from many!! Some of the best moments from events that I didn't know anyone other than the couple still hold such a special place in my heart because of the photos she's captured. I can only assume that the impact it has on the actual couple and family is insurmountably greater than what I feel to this day!

There is an art to entertaining. To create a memorable wedding celebration, you need quality entertainment. Most events I do start with some common elements: guests, music and the client’s desire for the event to be successful. It’s the inspiration in the execution and preparation before the event that distinguishes me from the ordinary. While others may do events by number, I make each event an original, a unique reflection of my client…you! I take inspiration from your dreams and desires. I do not ask you to follow someone else’s format because I will thrive in yours.

Butch was simply phenomenal! He was able to keep our small wedding so high energy it felt like we had a room full of a hundred people! He was so flexible with us as we had so many changes throughout the planning process. He was willing to work with us regardless of what our contract stated, he just wanted us to have the best wedding we could. He was so helpful in planning meetings and his tool was easy and fun for us to use! We asked him last minute to do all the ceremony music and he was even willing to jump in the day of to marry us when we thought we were without an officiant. All of our guests raved about him! We can't say enough about Butch except to HIRE HIM! :)
