Willow & Grey 

5.0

Guilford, CT
  • Florist

I instinctually fell in love with the creativity of floral design and it wasn’t long until Willow & Grey was born. WG creates unique, romantic, and whimsical floral designs for weddings and events in New England. My desire is to curate florals that reflect and celebrate the beauty and magic in life’s most cherished moments.

From our very first conversation, Renee — the incredible talent behind Willow and Grey — made me feel completely at ease. She took the time to truly understand my vision for the day, and somehow transformed every idea and inspiration into something even more beautiful than I could have imagined. Every floral detail was pure magic. From my bouquet to the elegant reception arrangements, Renee’s work was thoughtful, artful, and breathtakingly beautiful. The way she layered textures, played with different flowers, and created such natural, romantic movement in every piece left us — and our guests — absolutely in awe. Beyond her creativity and skill, Renee is just a joy to work with. She’s warm, professional, and deeply passionate about what she does. You can feel her heart in every arrangement. She made the entire process feel effortless and exciting, and I felt so cared for every step of the way. If you’re looking for someone who will bring genuine artistry, soul, and care to your wedding day, Willow and Grey is the one. Renee, thank you for filling our day with so much beauty — it was truly unforgettable. With all my love and gratitude, Kameron

Stephanie Anestis Photography 

5.0

Guilford, CT
  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,500

Hi, I'm Stephanie! I specialize in backyard weddings and small celebrations. I connect best with couples who might include their dog in the ceremony, make their day uniquely theirs, and don't sweat the small stuff. A jar of wildflowers is as interesting to me as a perfectly crafted orchid bouquet. I love documenting the small moments and details, and I see beauty everywhere on a wedding day. My face always hurts from smiling so much on my drive home! I know how to take charge for posed portraits (and always do some!) but I prefer to capture moments as they happen. I've been a photographer full-time for over fifteen years.

Awarded Best of Zola
Stephanie is a wonderful photographer. From the first moment I contacted her to receiving my pictures and Wedding book, I had a such a wonderful experience. Stephanie has an ability like no other. Her presence is one that brings you a calmness, which on your wedding day you will appreciate! When I look at my wedding pictures, I can still smell the fragrance of the food we ate, the emotions I was feeling, and the way the sun and air felt on my face. Stephanie did that. She captured all those little things that are so important and magical. If my house had more walls they would be filled with her photographs.

Love Byrd Events

Guilford, CT
  • Planner
  • Offers 4 services
  • Starts at $700

I am Becca Byrd, owner and founder of Love Byrd events. I started Love Byrd after 10+ years of personal and professional event planning. I have spent the last decade in New Haven working as an event planner for a large university as well as serving on governing boards of a variety of local non-profits. I have worked on conferences, fundraisers, concerts, parties, bar/bat mitzvahs, corporate meetings, weddings and much more. I have loved crafting a vision while simultaneously working on all of the tiny details to make that happen.

For our 2019 Wedding at The Lace Factory in Deep River, Connecticut, working with Love Byrd Events was a collaborative and thoughtful experience from start to finish. As a couple planning a wedding across the country, we couldn't be at the venue throughout the planning process. Love Byrd Events stepped in, meeting with our venue ahead of time, confidently coordinating the logistics of our wedding, managing our guest list, and handling any unexpected issues that arose. We were impressed by their reliable and creative approach, as well as their meticulous attention to detail. Becca's professionalism and expertise truly contributed to making our wedding day special and stress-free. We are so grateful for their hard work and highly recommend their services to any couples planning their special day, especially those coordinating from afar.

We're married! We have a few kids too! We're creative, quirky, lovers of inspiration. Our favorite photos are the ones that show your true selves, the ones where you are caught off guard.

They literally do it all - from wedding pep talks, jokes to keep you laughing through the stress of the day, managing our rather large family for photos, keeping everything fun and enjoyable, to creating insanely beautiful and unique photos. We couldn’t have asked for a better team to work with or for more incredible photos to remember our special day. We hope to get the chance to work with them again in the future!

Tyler Jordan Soucy 
Guilford, CT
  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style

When looking back at photographs from my life, it’s the candid images—captured by and with close friends and family—that bring memories and emotions flooding back. The ones that truly stick. That’s how I want your wedding photos to feel for the rest of your life—like a warm, familiar hug. I’ve always believed the most significant moments a wedding photographer can capture are those untouched by their own influence. My intent is to observe and document your day as it unfolds—creating authentic images that stand alone as works of art and, together, tell a story that truly reflects your relationship, your family, and your closest friends.

The granddaughter of two gardeners, I have always felt a connection to the earth through the soil. When someone brings flowers into a room, something changes...an energy, an excitement! I love being able to bring that kind of beauty into peoples lives. I'm a small-town girl who enjoys anything that involves working with my hands from cooking to knitting. I'm a total animal lover (partial to dogs), a die-hard Grey's Anatomy fan, and I take my martinis extra dirty. When I'm not flowering in our studio in Milford, Connecticut, I'm mommin' to three amazing little boys (our dog Pippa and cat, Galaxy).

Awarded Best of Zola
Our wedding day was everything and way better than was imagined and our florals from Fountainhead were breathtaking! I gave Kate some inspo pictures and what actually arrived that morning, was better than imagined! Many of our pictures take place in front of barrels and the colors from the bouquet just elevates everything! All of our guests commented on how amazing and unique our florals were. I can't thank the team enough for bringing my vision for my wedding to life!

I had collected more vases than I had originally planned on and Tracy ran with it. She made vignettes of large vases and bud vases, taking a fresh spin on things by using one flower type per vase. Her suggestions turned out even better than I imagined. Tracy’s professionalism and passion for her craft was evident throughout the process.

Lindsay was so amazing to work with! We hired her to do the flowers for our very small wedding, and the flowers were pretty much our only decor. Everything turned out so stunning. I only showed her a couple of inspiration/general ideas, and mostly told her that we just wanted bright seasonal (August) flowers, and to go ahead and do whatever she thought was best. We didn't have a set color palette since we didn't have a wedding party, so she really could choose whatever she wanted. This was the best decision I could have made because everything was even more beautiful than I could have imagined! Trust me, if you're not a picky bride, ask Lindsay to surprise you and you won't be disappointed!

I am animated, honest and fun! I am a mom, wife, teacher, avid runner and overall a very passionate person. I love my family, anything nautical and really enjoy a great glass of bubbly at the end of a long day! I'd love to meet you!

Keane Eye Photography was an absolute joy to work with on our wedding day. From the moment we first contacted Erica, her communication was prompt, energizing and thorough, putting us at ease throughout the entire planning process. On the day of the wedding, Erica and her second photographer were amazing with our family and kids, keeping everyone relaxed and having fun. They chose wonderful locations for our portraits that captured the beauty of our venue. Despite some rainy weather, Erica went above and beyond the contracted expectations, helping us pivot seamlessly and ensuring our special day was perfect. We are thrilled with the energetic and joyful photos that reflect the best day! Highly recommend!
