Meraki Photo, Inc. was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. From the very beginning, Rayleen and her team were incredibly open, responsive, and communicative, making the entire photography process smooth and stress-free. On the day of the wedding, she was a calming presence, capturing all the special moments in a comfortable, relaxed, and fun way.

Your wedding day is one of the biggest days of your life! You want to feel beautiful, confident and naturally flawless. The Stately Rose Beauty Studio has a team of talented and trusted hair and makeup professionals, ready to create your ideal wedding look.

Awarded Best of Zola
The team at The Stately Rose Beauty Studio was an absolute dream. From our very first interaction, the owner was clear on what to expect while being very personable. Their work was professional, creative, and attentive - the hair (for me) and makeup they did for me and my bridesmaids was stunning and lasted all day long. The morning with the Stately Rose team was so fun and stress-free, which was exactly what I needed. We had a few bridesmaids come unprepared and it was no problem for them. I couldn't have asked for a better beauty experience, and I highly recommend them.

Awarded Best of Zola
I had my trial in July for my October wedding, and I’ll admit I was a little nervous since I never wear makeup and didn’t know what to expect. I told Pam I didn’t want really heavy makeup up and she listened. The makeup looked beautiful, but I was a bit concerned about how long it would last since I couldn’t keep it on for long after the trial. My curls also weren’t as tight as I’d hoped, and they fell flat after a few hours, so I worried they might not hold up on my wedding day. I shared my concerns with Pam and Brenna—especially about my hair, since it never holds curls—and they truly listened. On the day of the wedding, they absolutely nailed it. They were also so fun to work with. My makeup and hair both lasted all night long, and my hair was exactly what I had envisioned. It couldn’t have been more perfect! I don’t have professional photos yet but these are some friends took.

It was obvious they cared about getting it right. They asked about what was important to us and made sure nothing was missed. They even stayed a little longer to capture our sparkler exit. The pictures from that moment are magical. The video is pure joy from start to finish.

Ariana Strings was amazing to work with from the very beginning. From our first inquiry to our Zoom calls to pick the right package, Ariana made everything so easy and organized. She sent reminders, questionnaires, and covered every detail to make sure the music was absolutely perfect for our day. Every time we hopped on a Zoom, I left feeling confident we had made the right choice. We were married on 9.13.25, and having Ariana and her team there truly made the day feel magical. The addition of their production manager was such a bonus — everything was timed seamlessly, and it gave us complete peace of mind.

You picked out the perfect dress.  Your bouquet has all your favorite flowers, with vivid colors that match your wedding theme.  Every last detail fits your personality perfectly.  This is YOUR day.  Shouldn't your wedding video reflect that?

Awarded Best of Zola
We should start by saying that we were very on the fence about a videographer for our wedding. We had a small, intimate ceremony of 50 people, and felt confident photographs would be sufficient. We can confidently say hiring Ben to film our wedding was one of the best decisions we made. Everyone warned us that the day would fly by, and it absolutely did. Ben was not only wonderful to work with, but also did an amazing job of capturing the day. He captured so many special moments that we would have missed, because there really is a lot that goes on, and has provided us such a special gift in being able to relive the best day of our lives (thus far). Ben is so skilled at his craft that he was everywhere and yet we did not feel as if we had a camera on us all night. Not to mention, he is warm, friendly, receptive to all questions, and very responsive. We are so thankful to have gotten to work with him, and could not provide a stronger recommendation.

  • Serves East Hartland, CT

We're Ashley and James, nature—inspired storytellers and creative partners who are here to capture your most precious moments. As a husband-and-wife team, we understand the importance of connection. We take the time to get to know you so that your wedding film reflects your unique journey together. We’re drawn to the beauty of those candid moments—the joyful smiles, heartfelt tears, and loving embraces—and we transform them into cinematic treasures that you and your loved ones will cherish for generations.

Treefilms is a stellar photography and videography company! After our venue, they were the second vendor we booked as photography and videography was very important to us. Ashley was responsive and kind from the beginning! She was open to our ideas in regard to location and then made it look even better in the photo video! We felt so comfortable during that shoot and at our wedding in front of the camera with them. They gave us enough direction that it was easy to know what to do, but did not result in stiff or overly posed pictures. The candid shots that they captured throughout the wedding day are photos we will cherish; they were able to capture all the emotions so perfectly. The team worked seamlessly with all the other vendors, they truly know what they’re doing! (Shoutout to Ashley for doing up the buttons on my dress!) Our wedding video is a work of art, I don’t think it’s comparable to the standard videos produced by other vendors. Treefilms is the vendor we recommend most to friends and family, and we look forward to working with them again in the future!

Awarded Best of Zola
It was so wonderful working with Rachel for florals for our wedding in July of 2024. My now-husband and I are originally from New England, but live in California now, so a lot of the planning was done over email. Rachel was super responsive to everything. I told her that I wanted “sunflowers, but not in a boho way”, and she was fully game to take on the challenge- and she for sure delivered! She designed exactly what I had in my head and made it even more beautiful than I could have imagined, and checked in with me every step of the way. I also appreciate that she has rentals for the “hardware” part of florals- because who just has a wedding arch and dozens of vases laying around? The flowers arrived on the day-of looking fresh and bright, and she even took a few of the extra flowers she had left over to scatter around on our guest book table. The clean up was quick and easy, and again she took care of all of the rental materials. We are so lucky that we found her!

Mr Lang was the leader and voice of our whole ceremony. His voice was loud, clear, and powerful. His loud, powerful voice commanded a presence throughout the whole ceremony. Before our ceremony we were able to meet with Mr Lang as well to go over options on how we could go about our ceremony. He also sent us the versions we went over to make any changes we wanted to. He was extremely easy to work with and also helped us through the whole process. Throughout our process leading up to the wedding there were some unforeseen circumstances that caused some changes the day before. Even with this happening Mr Lang was able to change everything up and even some decisions being made the day off and everything went on without any issues. I would fully recommend Mr Lang for any kind of ceremony. He will make your ceremony special and lead a ceremony that you will never forget.

We worked with Paul for our January wedding. Originally, I was going to just create a playlist (I was having little to no formalities) until I saw he commented on a Connecticut Bride Facebook Group. Figured a DJ will give me one less thing to worry about, so I inquired and he immediately responded, provided a quick quote, and we set up our first meeting. He just made everything so easy! We had two one-hour long meetings to clearly identify our vision. My father passed a few years ago and we did many things to honor him at the party- signature cocktail, my sister spoke about him in her speech, his two best friends gave a combined toast on his behalf, but what made me really feel my dad was celebrated and “there in spirit” was when Paul intentionally played my dad’s favorite song prior to the first speech. It almost felt like that was my dad’s speech/toast to us. Family and friends picked up on Paul’s placement of my dad’s favorite song and commented that they were moved by it too. It was the only point of the night I got emotional. Paul really cares about his work and the people he works with. I’ve been to a handful of weddings where DJs play the couple’s Do Not playlist and just treats every wedding the same. I seriously can’t recommend Paul more.

I had the pleasure of working with Sarah for my wedding, and I truly couldn’t have asked for a more amazing makeup and hair artist. From the trial to the day-of services — makeup, hair, and even thoughtful touch-ups — she made the entire experience feel effortless and enjoyable. What stood out the most was how comfortable she made me feel. I was extremely nervous on my wedding day, and Sarah went above and beyond to help keep me calm. She was patient, kind, and had this wonderful calming presence that I genuinely needed. It felt like having a friend by my side who just happened to be incredibly talented at what she does. My makeup and hair turned out beyond beautiful, lasted all day, and made me feel like the best version of myself. I received so many compliments, and I owe it all to her skill and care. I’m so grateful I chose Sarah — she’s not only talented, but she truly cares about her brides. I would recommend her in a heartbeat!

I’m Julia, the photographer behind J. Graham Photo! What started as a creative outlet quickly became the career I can’t imagine living without. I specialize in capturing weddings, couples, and all the big + small moments that make your story yours. My approach is relaxed, fun, and real — no stiff poses, just natural direction to help you feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera. Based in Connecticut but always down to travel!

Julia is such a joy to work with—fun, easygoing, and full of the best energy. She instantly put us at ease and had us laughing the whole time, which brought out our most natural smiles. She nailed the storybook vibe we were hoping for so effortlessly. The photos are unbelievable and very special to me. Don’t sleep on her!

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!

A couple of years ago one of my high school friends got married and I loved her photos on Facebook. Fast forward to 2015 as my fiancee and I were looking for a wedding photographer I remembered Melanie's photos of my friend. I spoke with my friend and she highly recommended Melanie. We met with Melanie and clicked instantly. She helped us plan a beautiful engagement session and our wedding. The entire day went perfectly and Melanie captured every moment. My husband said to me as we were looking through the gallery, "these photos are postcard perfect!" I would have to agree with him and love that we will have these photos to always remember the day. Since our wedding we have recommended Melanie to other friends who are getting married and they have said that Melanie and Brian were the best vendor that they worked with for the wedding!

The first day I worked in floral design, I knew I was home. It quickly became my passion, inspiration, and outlet and has allowed me to bring so much added beauty to people’s favorite days! It’s all in the details and as overwhelming as it may be, that’s where I find solace! Working as a partner and team mate to my clients, I find, creates the best experience to fit everyone’s needs, keeping the quality of product and experience! With that being said, let’s get to work!
