If you're hoping to get grandma up & dancing before the salad course comes out, this is your band. Their dedication to keeping the party alive all night is unlike any other band I've worked with, as they bring along their own DJ to cover when they are taking a much-needed break. They are worth every penny, and your guests will be talking about your wedding band for years to come if you bring them on to your wedding team!

Althea Floral Design & Julian were an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. From the moment we first spoke with Julian, we were impressed by his thoughtful and excited approach. It is clear that he is doing what he loves. The quality of their work was truly stunning - the flowers they provided for our rehearsal dinner were beautiful, and when I mentioned a couple of (very in-season and popular) flowers I wasn't crazy about, Julian immediately pulled them and pivoted with no issues. On the wedding day, the flowers could not have been more perfect. I was obsessed with the wall of windows covered with flowers and candles. Also the welcome sign and the two floral displays at the alter were gorgeous. Julian was so easy to work with and did an amazing job putting the whole space together. Our guests were thrilled to take home their own little bundles of the gorgeous florals at the end of the night.

He read the room perfectly, keeping the vibe fun and upbeat early in the evening, and then seamlessly transitioning into a full-blown club experience just like we asked. What really sets this company apart is how well they prepare. Their website asks thoughtful, detailed questions ahead of time, which made the day-of experience completely stress-free. They truly tailored everything to our vision and crowd (ranging from 30 to 60-year-olds), and the result was a packed dance floor all night long.

It's been 15 years running this small business as a Boston wedding photographer, a New England wedding photographer, working all around the greater Boston area and traveling to destination weddings as well. It's been a crazy ride so far, and I can honestly say I still love what I do! I am so grateful that 400+ wedding couples have trusted me to be a part of their weddings, to document one of the milestone days in their lives, and to create beautiful heirloom albums and artwork they can enjoy for a lifetime. Ultimately, that's what it's all about, serving my clients and creating an amazing experience.

Awarded Best of Zola
We have immense gratitude for Randall and incredible respect for his work! We know we made the right choice selecting him for our wedding. From the very first conversation one year prior, he impressed us by looking up the time of sunset for our fall wedding day. If it wasn't for his planning, we would have started the ceremony later and missed out on daylight photos. Randall captured our inner essence and joy on our wedding day. The gallery of photos he produced tells the story of our special day far beyond the images. He is soft spoken, gentle and unassuming in his manner. We didn't even notice him throughout the ceremony and reception (and that's a compliment). He puts so much time and effort into the planning process that the day is seamless. We had multiple planning conversations, and he rightly insists on gathering information from the bride and groom ahead of time--including a written plan of all groups to be photographed on the actual day. He is a consummate professional and it shows! By the time we met him on the day-of, he already felt like a trusted friend. He knew exactly where and when to photograph us and our guests, and he allowed us to create humorous and unconventional shots as well! We were literally speechless when he sent us finished photos. Everyone who has seen them has also raved about their quality, essence, and creativity. We love them all and we are forced to nitpick in order to select prints. We would choose him all over again!!

Salma went above and beyond, visiting the venue ahead of time to understand the space and lighting, and even making sure to get beautiful photos of our whole wedding party, including our dog! Despite our initial discomfort in front of the camera, Salma had great ideas for poses that highlighted our love and made us feel natural and comfortable. We are thrilled with the final results and would highly recommend Salma K Photography to any couple looking for an exceptional photography experience on their special day.

Shelley was incredible. Her style and skill on the harp added so much to our event and our guests were really in awe. She was so wonderful and even in the moment that I was walking down the aisle (and was so overwhelmed!) I felt so connected to the music because Shelley had learned one of my favorite songs that I had chosen to walk down the aisle to. It was very special! Thank you Shelley.
