Wow is all I can say. I found Tipsy Tulips through my wedding venues instagram and saw many past brides had used Emily for their wedding florals. I was jaw dropped by how beautiful the pictures were and immediately knew I had to use her to do ours! Emily blew our expectations out of the water. Upon our first chat she was so personable and you could tell she really cares about making your day so special and providing the bride and groom with their exact floral vision. When I walked into our venue the day of the wedding I truly could not believe my eyes. Not only did she exceed our expectations but the florals were so stunning, reflected my dream wedding pintrest board I had sent her to a T, and you could really see the attention to detail and love for her craft in her work.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about SammiiglamVT! Sammantha did my makeup for my wedding in October of 2024, as well as for the mother of the bride and mother of the groom, and she absolutely nailed it. From the very beginning, Sammantha was incredibly professional and responsive in her communications, making the planning process stress-free. On the big day, she was prompt, friendly, and brought such a calming energy that we all appreciated. One thing that stood out was her attention to detail. We had done our originial trial in April, but I had a spray tan just two days prior to the wedding, and she expertly adjusted the colors for my wedding day to ensure everything was perfectly matched with my new skin tone. She walked me through every step of what she was doing, which made me feel completely at ease and confident in her work. She even had a few recommendations, that I quickly took her up on based on her years of experience. The results were stunning—our makeup looked flawless and lasted all day, through tears, photos, and dancing. She has an incredible ability to enhance natural beauty while making you feel glamorous and confident. If you’re looking for a professional, talented, and personable makeup artist, I highly recommend SammiiglamVT. She truly made my wedding day extra special! photos by Eaton Photo

HI, I'M EMMA. I'm a lover of animals (dogs and elephants, especially), sunny beaches, early mornings, and a great cup of coffee. Oh, and capturing magical, authentic images of you! My work is best described as classic, emotive, lifestyle photography and I edit learning towards a bright and airy feel. My ultimate goal is for your photos to feel like you - as your best self. I use prompts and poses in my work, but mostly just to snap a photo of the in-between moments and the laughs that come from them.

Awarded Best of Zola
My husband and I got married on July 6, 2024. The week following our wedding, we blissfully rehashed the events of the day. One common statement we uttered was “wow, Emma is such a pro”. We are beyond thankful that we hired her. Emma arrived early and worked meticulously all night long. She seemed to be everywhere at once, and at the same time, completely blended into the magic of the day. She was able to command my family of 60 into a group shot in a matter of moments, captured intimate moments during which we didn’t know she was there, and somehow kept everyone on schedule. She is the definition of professional – listening to our desires for the day, ensuring we got all the shots we wanted, and making it all flow seamlessly. On top of this, she delivered a fully edited shot of my husband and I the morning after our wedding and a very generous sneak peak within 5 days. We cannot wait to see the full gallery. If you want a PRO photographing one of the biggest days of your life, hire Emma. I would also like to shout out Isora Lithgow, who was Emma’s second shooter, and did a fantastic job. We loved having both Emma and Isora as part of our wedding day.

The Barn at Smugglers’ Notch was truly a DREAM wedding venue! From the moment we first saw it, we knew it was the perfect place for our wedding. We celebrated our marriage (actually on our first anniversary) on 9/28/2024, and over the span of almost 2 years of planning, Jenn, Jamie and Steve were wonderful to work with. They accommodated us visiting several times after booking to see more details and ask questions. As we got closer to our wedding date, Jamie worked with us to develop our timeline full of so many details. They were so welcoming of us and our family, allowing my brother, a pastry chef & restaurant owner, to build the wedding cake on site the day of the wedding. Jenn was there with a smiling face and coffee ready for our early morning start. And Jamie set up everything so beautifully, including all of our decor that was very intricate (my favorite being the most amazing bookshelf escort wall I made, using The Barn’s shelf out on the patio!) Jamie did a wonderful job keeping everyone on time and in the right place. When the shuttle went to the wrong pickup location, Jamie got it all figured out and even though we started the ceremony late because of it, we were able to make up some time and stay on schedule for the rest of the evening. Overall, we are beyond happy with our day! The weather and the foliage were perfect, and every single detail came together so beautifully. We can’t say thank you enough to the amazing team at The Barn, and would highly recommend having your dream Vermont wedding here!

I started my photography journey as a simple hobby where I carried my camera with me everywhere and took photos of everything. Over time, I began to develop my skills into a more sophisticated / professional style as you might expect for weddings and other formal events. I paired up with a local multi award winning wedding photographer who helped me in refining my skills and taught me the ins and outs of wedding photography and I've never looked back. Since then, I have started my own business as a photographer and take pride in my style and skill as being mostly self taught, candid, emotional and captivating.

Working with him was the absolute best! Not only are our photos gorgeous, but he was super communicative throughout the entire process, helped talk us through the venue we wanted, helped us find an officiant, and made sure we had everything we needed to have a perfect day! We came into town from Florida so we didn't know much about the area, but he helped us find exactly where to go for our photos, and ensured we got every single shot we could have wanted! Our photos are beautiful, capture the landscape perfectly, and everyone I've shown them to has commented on how you can genuinely feel our joy and happiness through the photos! He also got the photos back to us quickly, and was open to changes (which we didn't need, but was appreciated!) overall, I couldn't have asked for a better photographer and loved working with him!

The flowers they created for our wedding were absolutely beautiful. The photos speak for themselves. Christa, personally brought all of the bouquets, boutonnieres, and corsages to our getting ready room in the morning and took care of setting up all the flowers for the ceremony and reception. Everything was perfect and beautiful. I wish I could have taken all the fresh flowers home after the event, but I ended up having my bouquet preserved and it is also stunning. I cannot have imagined more beautiful flowers, and the flowers at my wedding are still one of my favorite things about our special day.

Meagan is everything you’d expect a travel agent to be AND MORE. The organization, the promptness, the expertise she has in all things travel related provides a huge sense of comfort and ease when planning a trip. My husband and I experienced a hiccup during our honeymoon and Meagan leapt into action to assist even with the time change being 5 hours ahead of EST which led to a VERY early morning for her to help troubleshoot. We had a solution by the next day and were situated in a new hotel very quickly all thanks to Meagan. All of the excursions she helped plan for us went incredibly smoothly.

I get it, planning a wedding is no walk in the park. With everything that can go into it, trying to carve out time to make thoughtful decisions about who to hire for your photography can feel impossible. My goal is to make that decision as easy as possible by presenting every detail in a way that's easy to see and understand, as well as share the load when it comes to planning those picture-perfect moments. And above all else, to keep it fun.

Moriah is as good as it gets. Three things that Moriah does extremely well: 1) Amazing portraits AND candid pictures. I noticed scrolling through Moriah's pictures, that everyone looked like they were having such a fun time. I love how Moriah captured the little, candid moments on the big day, as equally as the big moments. 2) Planning / communication. Moriah initiated our planning sessions and were always well timed with our wedding planning process. Each planning session was productive and I always felt better after talking details through with Mo. She was instrumental in making our first look really special, because of her involvement in the planning. 3) A joy to work with. You really do spend a lot of time with your wedding photographer the day of your wedding. Moriah helped keep things moving with timing for portraits the day of, offered recommendations for Vermont vendors, and really got to know my husband and I over the course of the year working together. Now we have these pictures to treasure forever, thank you Mo 3

Will and Patti were AMAZING at our wedding on 10/7/2023. They both arrived at rehearsal ready to go, and had ideas on how to bring our vision to life with or without the rain. It ended up raining heavy for most of the day, and both of them were prepared 1000%. My mind was in a million places and they really helped calm my nerves. Both of them also gave us ideas throughout the reception, like the shoe game, certain songs to get guests dancing, etc. Their name really suits them because they do go above and beyond! Their background in theatre is what also sets them apart from other DJs/coordinators. They know how to make a singular moment memorable! Thank you both so much

Short version. Hire Ben you will be glad you did! Long version. Now here’s why. The pandemic changed many things in 2020 (and beyond?) for all of us, we were lucky enough to book Ben when our original plans changed, and his original booking changed. Serendipity! We never even met Ben in person before our wedding day, but immediately felt comfortable with him from the jump. He has a great attitude, and personality that makes working with him feel very loose, honest, and real. It’s not like you are props, he doesn’t linger or waste time, get in the way, or make anything about him. He is the perfect wedding photographer and happens to be a super nice dude. WIN! He captured the best moments and created such beautiful photographs. Can’t recommend him enough! Thanks Ben!

Planning a wedding living on the west coast that took place on the east coast was a feat in itself already, and we were on the hunt for the perfect florist and found absolute perfection in Tiny Petals. Their attention to detail is truly unmatched, and Moriah herself is the sweetest most beautifully talented florist I have ever met with! She executed our vision of our greenery and Calla Lillies infused Vermont summer wedding with utter brilliance, and everyone could not stop talking about how perfect the florals were all day. I highly recommend hiring Tiny Petals for your wedding because you will never be disappointed! Moriah thank you SO much!!!

Fueled by equal parts coffee & puppy snuggles, I spend my days capturing the kinds of images that make you stop, smile & immediately update your phone's screen image so you can live in that moment everyday. Your story, your love & joy is so beautiful & I can't wait to capture it in images you will treasure for years to come. I believe in real moments & heartfelt conversations on porches & around campfires. In the kinds of images that remind you of the pure joy that can be found in the simplest of moments together.

Keith MacDonald Photography was the perfect choice for our wedding photography. From the very first interaction, his communication was clear, transparent and made us feel comfortable. The quality of their work exceeded our expectations - he captured every shot we had envisioned, even when we unexpectedly had to shoot our first look in rain and sneak the bridal party photos in during then too. Keith made us so comfortable during our photo sessions, helping us feel at ease despite our natural discomfort in front of the camera. Keith has a true talent for seeing through that and capturing us exactly as we had hoped. He is a one-of-a-kind photographer, and we are thrilled with the beautiful memories he was able to create for us on our special day. I would recommend Keith to absolutely everyone and would book him again in a heart beat.
