Working with Jenni was an absolute dream from start to finish. She is the perfect combination of professional, passionate, and fun—and truly a master at her craft. From the moment we connected, I knew she understood exactly the aesthetic I was going for: adorable, classy, and full of warmth. She completely captured the feel I wanted for my wedding day. Throughout the entire journey, Jenni was in constant communication and made me feel so comfortable sharing my thoughts and preferences. She matched my energy right away, and it honestly made my heart warm—I instantly felt I could trust her with my vision, and she delivered in the most beautiful way. On the big day, Jenni was kind, respectful, and incredibly warm with my family and friends. She made me feel so beautiful and confident, and her presence brought such a calming, joyful vibe. And then… the sneak peeks! I audibly gasped when I saw them for the first time—then cried. The photos are exactly what I dreamed of: warm, tender, intimate, and full of love. They captured the heart of our day so perfectly. If you’re looking for someone who will not only give you gorgeous wedding photos but will also make you feel seen, heard, and cared for—Jenni is your person. It was such a pleasure working with her, and I can’t recommend her highly enough!

We had such a wonderful experience with Sage on our wedding day! In classic May fashion, the day started with a rainstorm causing everyone to be behind schedule and leaving me very stressed about how the day would go. Those anxieties started to melt away the second I arrived at the venue and was greeted by Sage. She was prompt and ready to immediately jump into photo time. Even though we were behind schedule, she did not make anyone feel rushed and was able to capture everything we wanted at a pace that worked well for our group. During our couple photos, she made us feel so comfortable and captured some truly authentic moments of the fun we have together. All the images we received instantly transported us back to the day and our friends and family have loved being able to share them. If you are looking for someone to help you embrace the awkwardness that is taking wedding photos and feel your most beautiful and comfortable as a couple - Sage is it! She clearly loves getting to know her couples and becoming a part of their story.

  • Florist
  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves Hamden, CT

Forever a lover of nature, I draw inspiration from the natural world and am most at peace and at home among the plants and trees. I love spending time outdoors, hiking with my dog, and working in my garden growing food and flowers. I have a life long passion for art and design and have worked as an artist for much of my life. In 2013 I found myself fusing my love for art and flowers when I began working in floral design. I quickly fell in love with the ritual of creating with fresh florals. In the years since, I've had the opportunity to hone my skills and style and provide unique and gorgeous designs for some wonderful couples.

Awarded Best of Zola
I don’t even know where to begin—words feel small compared to what Lauren created for our wedding day. From our very first consultation to the final breathtaking reveal, they went above and beyond to turn our vision into pure magic. As a bride, I had ideas, inspiration photos, and a Pinterest board full of hopes—but Lauren brought all of that to life in a way I never imagined possible. Every single bloom, every arrangement, every petal was thoughtfully placed and perfectly chosen. Walking into our ceremony and reception spaces was like stepping into a dream. What truly set them apart was not just her talent (which is unmatched), but their warmth, passion, and attention to detail. Lauren listened—really listened—to what we wanted, and then elevated it in the most elegant and personal way. The bouquet was absolutely stunning (it felt like it belonged in a fairytale), the ceremony florals took our breath away, and the reception flowers had our guests gasping and taking photos all night long. We received so many compliments from family and friends, but more importantly, we felt completely surrounded by beauty, love, and intention in every floral touch. It felt like us—romantic, joyful, and full of heart. To anyone looking for a florist who will not only deliver beautiful flowers but also pour love and soul into your big day—this is your person. We are endlessly grateful and couldn’t have asked for a more perfect floral experience. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Awarded Best of Zola
After scouring Instagram for someone who’s hair and makeup style matched our simple yet elegant aesthetic, we booked Dana for our June 2023 wedding. Dana did hair and makeup for both of us (two brides) as well as hair for my wife’s mother. Dana particularly excelled at listening to our visions and bringing them to life. During our trials (which we do recommend), we brought in pictures of hairstyles for inspiration, and Dana was able to easily recreate them knowing how exactly to work with our individual hair texture and style. Also, neither of us wear much makeup (I don’t wear any), and Dana was able to achieve the “natural” or “soft-glam” look very well, which was what we both wanted. We felt that most other makeup artists we looked at went too far even with the “soft-glam” style. Dana was perhaps the most organized of all the vendors we worked with for our wedding. During each of our trials, she took incredibly detailed notes, brought them with her the day of our wedding, and followed them exactly. While it’s impossible to recreate your trial look 100% perfectly, what Dana did was closer than we ever expected. In addition, she helped us craft the perfect getting ready schedule for the morning of our wedding, and stuck to it, so we didn’t feel stressed or rushed and actually enjoyed the process! While we were a small “bridal party” and worked with only Dana herself, something Dana mentioned is that she never brings in other hair or makeup artists unless she trusts them and their work completely. That instilled confidence in us that her quality standard was really high, and her performance confirmed that. Her confidence made us confident! Our hair and makeup looked almost perfect at the end of the day after an outdoor ceremony in the wind and 4 hours of running around and dancing. We were super impressed. We have absolutely no reservations in recommending Dana for your wedding day. Make sure you follow her instructions on how to prep your face/hair and design the getting ready schedule for your wedding and you’ll have a great time!

At the end of the night, Kristi was so amazing and assuring that her and her staff would take care of breakdown/clean up, and the next morning when we went to pick up our decor, everything was tidy and packed so nicely in our boxes.

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
It’s hard to imagine our wedding without Stephanie’s calm presence and gorgeous photos. We had a very small wedding (28 people) at a vineyard in Connecticut. Stephanie captured the intimacy of our event and so many wonderful spontaneous moments. She has the uncanny ability to let the wedding flow unhindered, and yet - when the moment comes for that great snapshot - she is in the right place at the right time! For our wedding, some of my favorite photos were taken at dusk, when the kids were ready to let off some steam and went outside to run through the rows of grapevines. Stephanie’s photos embody the freedom and joy of those stolen moments. She is a true artist - and a lovely, warm person. I highly recommend her.

Working with CT Tap&Co. on a styled shoot this year was a true highlight. They were nothing but easy to work with. Styled shoots require a lot of moving parts - oftentimes plans change and adjustments need to be made. Every time I had a change of plans, such as a location change last minute, Jillian was understanding and accommodating. Her and Anthony went above and beyond driving over an hour in bad weather just to help me shoot their vintage trailer for an hour. Unfortunately I didn't get to try their drink selection, but from what I've seen and heard you wouldn't be disappointed. I wouldn't hesitate working with CT Tap&Co. and neither should you!

O'Brien Strings was the perfect complement to my daughter’s garden wedding. The bride walked down the aisle to Pachelbel Canon which was played exquisitely and flawlessly by the TRIO. Their presence added a special, elegant touch to the ceremony. The guests raved about how wonderful the musical selection sounded and to this day we still receive compliments on their performance. Kate was a pleasure to work with and always responded promptly to my emails. Without a doubt, I highly recommend O’Brien Strings for any type of event.
