I can’t say enough wonderful things about Rob, Tyler, and the team. Rob did my high school senior photos 10 years ago and has been part of the family since. He’s done all of my sisters’ weddings, and most recently mine on October 14. At each one he amazes me with his creative eye. The photos he captured for us are absolutely stunning. They’re truly magical pieces of art. He makes you feel comfortable the entire day. He laughs with you, he always makes sure to you have the good lighting, AND when I needed help with my bustle, he was right there with safety pins to help!! He is truly one of a kind. He makes you feel so special and really makes every effort to capture your perfect day in such a personalized way. I would (and DO) recommend him to anyone looking for a wedding photographer.

Hi friend! I'm Becca. Ever since I was little, I wanted to listen to others stories and share them with others. As a result of a college photography class that I loved and my dad's love of nature photography, I was gifted a camera after graduation, and I never stopped! I started taking photos at a performing arts center and became mesmerized with capturing joy. I have been in the wedding industry since I was fourteen and have been taking photos professionally since 2019.

Awarded Best of Zola
I cannot GUSH enough about Becca. She was hands down the MVP of our wedding day. In the midst of wedding planning busyness, Becca led a thorough meeting with us (the couple) going over the day-of schedule, and covering an exhaustive comprehensive list of all possible photos, helping us prioritize the ones we needed and letting go of those that may have ended up stressing us out to try to take! She made sure to be sensitive to all our hopes for photos, family dynamics, and more. I (the bride) was sick on the wedding day and had to make some adjustments to the day-of schedule, and Becca not only adjusted with such grace and flexibility, but also offered great game-time ideas to make sure we got all the photos we wanted with even less time! During the wedding, Becca stayed even longer than scheduled, was so patient but commanding with getting family photos organized, and stayed in the background throughout the day even though she was right by my (the bride!) side getting the best candid photos. That way, I was able to feel supported AND even more relaxed, she was so nimble, positive, and masterful. As I’ve said since the beginning of working with her, she is simply the BEST.

Wedding Planning Plus was an excellent choice for our wedding planning needs for our June 2025 wedding at the Equniox Resort in Manchester, VT.

On the day of, Eliza ran the schedule effortlessly and her competence completely allowed my husband and I to be fully present.

So many of our friends and family have reported back that the wedding was the smoothest of the weddings they had attended this year, and its all thanks to WPP.

And since we’re basically already best friends, let me tell you a secret: taking pictures isn’t even the thing I love most about my job. Now, don’t get me wrong, I’m as obsessed with taking gorgeous, dripping-in-light photos that you’ll look back on for ages as much as the next photographer. But what I really love? Meeting the most kind-hearted people and getting to know them on a level much deeper than the typical client-photographer relationship.

Photographing weddings and elopements is a privilege that I do not take lightly. I treat each moment with as much care as if it were my own! While I am happy to take on weddings of any size, I specialize in intimate weddings or engagement sessions where I can embrace a documentary, candid approach. My favorite moments to capture are those quiet, unplanned interactions. I adore the small details. The moments that sometimes get overlooked but often times help tell the story of your wedding day the most. I thrive with couples who aren’t afraid to be silly and embrace the moments as they come as opposed to forcing it.

She truly does it all and was essential in making our day run smoothly. From fixing my veil, to bustling my dress, and wrangling up our wedding party all while getting fantastic photos. She really is so talented at what she does by capturing all of the in-between, authentic moments that you want to remember forever.

Hi, I'm Jaci Berkopec! A self portrait of me would include a frozen pizza, caesar salad bag, and a bottle of white wine. But more importantly I am a wedding, lifestyle and adventure elopement photographer based out of NYC. Weddings and elopements are one of my passions because witnessing love and marriage is one of the most beautiful things we can witness. When shooting with me, expect to have tons of fun and lots of laughs because I like to be weird! Life is too short to be normal! I photograph all types of love.

I’m SO glad that we hired Jaci to be our photographer for our wedding. I felt that she was 100% aligned with what I wanted for the photography: minimal posing/forced moments and lots of candids of all the love and fun times. We’ve only received our preview photos so far (we just got married a couple weeks ago) but I can already tell she killed it. I’m already so happy with what we have and have been looking at them nonstop! On the day Jaci was a delight to work with and so much fun. Her and her assistant were so friendly and nice, really putting me at ease while I was freaking out. I am NOT comfortable in front of a camera but somehow in the pictures I look totally natural. They were also very much on the dance floor during the reception getting in the mix and getting those incredible pictures of people partying and celebrating that we hoped for. I remember a couple times spotting them out of the corner of my eye and just thinking “I know these are gonna be good” and they very much are! At brunch the morning after many people were remarking about how much fun the photographers were. Just good vibes and great photos all around, I would definitely recommend working with Jaci!

The Rosemary at Spano Lake was the perfect venue for our wedding. From the moment we first reached out, Jackie and Danny were quick to respond, knowledgeable about their offerings, and easy to work with in planning all the details. On the day of the wedding, they were attentive and went the extra mile to ensure our vision came to life. The venue itself is intimate and naturally beautiful, creating the perfect backdrop for our special day. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect wedding location and highly recommend The Rosemary at Spano Lake to any couple looking for an exceptional venue experience.

Hello ! first and foremost, congratulations on your engagement as you embark on this new chapter of your lives. My name is Kevin and I started the ground work Kozmo Photography back in 2014. My goal has always been to capture the uniqueness of each and every couple on the biggest day of their journey together. It is therefore my belief that a great wedding photographer must be able to capture the big and small details throughout the day with minimal interference while being keenly aware of the surrounding conditions. This is my promise as I strive to deliver to each and every couple the wedding photos they deserve.

Kevin at Kozmo Photography is top-notch! He goes above and beyond to make sure he captures every moment of your special day. From the moment I booked him to the moment we received our wedding photos, I knew we made the right choice. He was so personable and fun to get to know at our engagement photos that I knew he would be perfect for our wedding day. He quickly responded to all emails I sent during the wedding planning process. He met with us a few weeks before the wedding to make sure he knew exactly what types of photos we wanted and to make sure we had a good game plan for the day of the wedding. On the day of the wedding, he was great at making those getting photographed feel comfortable but he also made sure everything flowed well. For example, my veil kept falling out so during pictures he personally put it back in and it stayed! He captured every moment beautifully! He was there while we were getting ready all the way until we left the venue at the end of the reception. Kevin will go above and beyond to make your day and your photos perfect!

At ​A Lively Event, we specialize in thoughtful, detail-driven wedding planning for couples. Our focus is simple: bringing your unique wedding vision to life while building a genuine relationship with you every step of the way. We believe that planning your wedding should be just as joyful as the day itself. We prioritize communication, trust, and collaboration. Whether you’re dreaming of a romantic mountain ceremony or an elegant ballroom celebration, our team is here to guide you with expert logistics, creative solutions, and unwavering support. We handle the behind-the-scenes details so you can stay present and excited for your big day.

From the very first phone call with Katie with A Lively Event, I knew she was meant to be in our lives. We instantly clicked. Hiring her felt less like choosing a wedding planner and more like gaining a built-in best friend who also happens to be a logistics genius and life-saving personal assistant all wrapped in one. Katie has a remarkable gift for bringing every vision together seamlessly, even when there are many voices, ideas, and passionate opinions swirling in the mix. Every detail was handled with care, every question answered before I even had to ask. If anything went sideways (and let’s be real, there’s always something), she swooped in with grace and handled it before I even realized there was an issue. I never once had to stress or lift a finger. She was our voice, our advocate, and the one person who always ensured our wishes were front and center, and truly was the key to how perfect our wedding day turned out to be. Thanks to Katie, those few precious hours of our wedding day became some of the most unforgettable memories of our lives. Her heart, her hustle, and her unwavering support made every moment perfect. We are forever grateful to have worked with her, and even more grateful that she’s now a part of our life beyond the wedding. If you want someone who will champion your love story with joy and finesse, Katie is the one.

We had the absolute privilege of having Novel Cinema capture our special day. I've got to be honest, we were initially a bit nervous about being in front of the camera, but the team at Novel put us at ease right from the get-go. They have a way of making you feel like you're just hanging out with friends who happen to have cameras! The magic they worked with those cameras though - it's nothing short of amazing! They captured every laugh, every tear, every loving look - and then some. It's like they had a sixth sense for those little moments that make a wedding day so special. Watching our wedding video for the first time was like reliving the day all over again. To all the soon-to-be-wed couples out there, do yourselves a favor and hire Novel. Thank you for giving us a memory that will last a lifetime. You guys rock! Jason and Amanda
