WildRoot Moments 

5.0

  • Photographer
  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $3,999
  • Serves Hartford, CT

Please contact me on Instagram or fill out my submission form on my website as I'm not on ZOLA often. Timeless, editorial imagery with a warm, documentary approach. From the grand, luxurious details to the quiet, candid glances you share when no one’s watching, I’m there to preserve it all with intention. If you’re dreaming of wedding photos that feel both refined and deeply personal, I’d love to bring your vision to life.

WildRoot Moments was such a joy to work with on our elopement day. From our initial conversations, Destiny’s communication was quick, excited, and very clear - putting us at ease throughout the entire process. Her work is truly beautiful, captivating, and timeless, as she documented our day perfectly and captured the emotions of the event flawlessly. She is such a kind soul and was so understanding and patient in during our time together— time shared with our two year old who didn’t always take to photo instructions very well. I absolutely love the work she produced, and could not recommend WildRoot Moments enough to any couple looking for a talented and professional wedding photographer!! We also received our gallery so quickly, which was amazing and shows how dedicated she is to her work!

  • Photographer

  • Starts at $1,200
  • Serves Hartford, CT

I have been a photographer for 8 years. Throughout my time as a photographer I’ve captured clothing, models, and memories. I shifted from corporate shootings to families and weddings because it gave me this warm fuzzy feeling when I edited my couples and families photos. Don’t be afraid to reach out to me and ask about my photography style, my editing style, or my favorite restaurant! I highly recommend scheduling a free consulting session!

Grace was a pleasure to work with during the wedding planning process. She was timely in her responses and upfront with pricing. On the day of the wedding, it felt like we were herding cats, but she remained professional and efficient. Even though we were running behind schedule with getting dressed, she managed to squeeze in a few dress shots and some first look photos. Grace remained patient even as some of our friends and family showed up late for photos! As we moved between locations, she made sure I was holding my dress in a way so that I wouldn’t fall on my face. She also helped my MOH bustle my dress after the ceremony (again, so I wouldn’t fall on my face). Grace was always cognizant of the lighting on location, and how it would affect photos. Her assistant, Joey, was lovely and accommodating as well. All in all, a wonderful experience!

I’m a storyteller. That’s what I’m here to do - document the story of one of your greatest celebrations. My work is heavily focused on the authentic, unplanned moments. My approach is observational and real, creating images that are genuine representations of you, those you love, and the space and moments you share. I create true-to-life images that will bring you back to some of your sweetest, most treasured moments for years to come. These images aren't just for you, after all - they're for the branches of your family tree that have yet to grow. For the generations to come.

I knew we needed to book Kaitlin from the second I found her Zola profile, but it was completely solidified by our meet and greet meeting. Kaitlin is exactly as described. So personal, completely herself, open and transparent, I could go on and on. One of the biggest things that sold us with Kaitlin (besides her work) was the fact that she gave us advice on what to look for/questions to ask with other photography vendors while we were on our hunt. We had our engagement photos in October in Boothbay Harbor and we are actually located in Western Mass. I had ideas in my head about what would work and Kaitlin made the drive to check out the locations and ensure they actually would. One of my locations wasn't the best lighting wise and she gave multiple other options to get similar looks. We actually ended up doing some downtown photos which are some of my favorites (which is a little a lie because I am obsessed with all of them). I read in multiple of Kaitlin's reviews that she makes awkward people comfortable behind the camera and I am here to say it is true. I was so stressed going into things, worried my hair looked bad, we wouldn't get *the* shot, we would look weird, etc. Kaitlin immediately asked me what my worries were and I felt so at ease. Working with Kaitlin felt like working with with a lifelong friend who really has it all together and is such a professional. I truly know that our wedding day is going to be that much better knowing she is going to be there documenting it all.

We could not have been happier to have Victoria on our team for our July 2024 wedding! We hired Victoria for wedding day management. She went above and beyond throughout our planning process and made us feel like we were her top priority, even though we know she works with many couples throughout the wedding season. Her organization, attention to detail, and patience are unmatched. The BEO that she creates for the wedding day was so informative and detailed and brought so much joy to this Type A bride! During planning, I was struggling with the color scheme and table design for the reception. Victoria came to my rescue and helped design our table scapes and handled all correspondence with the rentals company. The outcome was absolutely stunning and I could not have been happier. Similarly, I did not know how to go about creating the timeline for our transportation and wedding day. Victoria provided this for us and it was seamless and so easy. Our family and wedding party were so impressed with how she ran our wedding rehearsal. On the wedding day itself, she made sure that the day flowed smoothly. From collecting and setting up all of our day-of details, orchestrating the flow of our wedding ceremony, and even bustling my wedding dress, she was involved in every aspect of our day and ensured that it was perfect. My husband and I could relax and be fully present knowing that Victoria had everything under control. I cannot recommend Victoria and Everlasting Affairs highly enough!

Hi, I’m Isaac. In my world, light is everything. The cool ambient hues at dawn, hinting at what the day may bring. Golden sun rays catching particles through a tree as friends gathers to celebrate. A Cotton candy sunset peppered by patio string-lights as a DJ plays my favorite song. We all have timeless memories logged in our minds. For me, they are based in a language of light. As a wedding photographer, this deep connection to special lighting helps me produce dynamic visual stories of romance, personality and beauty.

He fell in love with wedding photography and the emotion it brought out for everyone involved.

Mark and Brittany are truly exceptional at what they do. My husband and I are not typically in front of a camera, but Mark made us instantly comfortable in a way that allowed him to truly capture the moment between us instead of feeling like models posing for a job. We had a small wedding with no formal wedding planner or runner for the day, but Brittany and Mark helped everything to go smoothly, and we truly couldn’t have done it without them. Beyond all that, the images are truly breathtaking. Mark has an intrinsic ability to scan a space and find the most beautiful piece of it. I have never seen the inside of a train station look so magical! If you choose This Insane Idea for your special day, you will not be disappointed!

Joey G is like my cool uncle except he’s got sick DJ skills. He did our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. Not only was he professional and organized, but he also brought an incredible energy to our wedding. For the ceremony and cocktail hour, we provided him with a specific music selection, and even though we never rehearsed together, he nailed it perfectly. During the reception, we gave him a playlist, and he struck the perfect balance between sticking to our choices and reading the crowd to keep everyone dancing. One highlight was when Joey G handed the microphone to people in the crowd, turning our reception into an impromptu karaoke party. It was a blast! He was not only fun and engaging but also very attentive to our needs. He asked how to pronounce each name correctly for the toasts, ensuring everything went smoothly. We requested that he not take song requests, and he respected our wishes completely. The sound quality was stellar, and his equipment setup was flawless. Joey G understood our need for clean music as we had many families with young children attending, yet he still kept the atmosphere lively and fun. The dance floor was packed with all 150 guests! Joey G was also a great help with announcements, coordinating toasts, and working with friends and family to announce the newlyweds and photo groups. His flexibility and attention to detail were impressive. Overall, I highly recommend Joey G to any couple looking for an awesome wedding DJ. He provided a questionnaire that made the whole planning process so easy, and his execution was simply fantastic. Joey G truly made our wedding day unforgettable!

I booked Justine for our wedding in September to do hair and makeup on myself and both of our moms. Everyone’s hair & makeup came out beautifully & stayed soo well throughout the day and night. I had a partial updo with curls that were intact the whole time!! We loved the enhanced natural looks Justine gave us as none of us wear makeup that often. Justine’s calming presence was so nice and eased all of our jitters. Everyone kept saying how relaxing and peaceful the whole experience was getting ready. She was very accommodating for my mom as she is in a wheelchair and sewed my mom’s dress. Since starting to speak with her to book she was punctual, professional & kind. She eased my anxious mind when I was worried about my hair being too short when all curled. If I could do it all again I’d re-book her every time! Can’t thank her enough and make any higher recommendations for future brides to book Justine for their weddings!!

We booked Teyanna in 2022 for our August 2024 wedding and did not regret it one bit. It was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. Teyanna was beyond accommodating and informative throughout the entire process. Her precise, creative, and professional "client-first" mentality shone through. From countless Zoom calls to meeting up in person to select flowers, it was more than we could have asked for and were expecting. Her professionalism and creativity showed through when we had to improvise our outdoor ceremony to an indoor one thanks to a horrific tropical storm. She called us on the morning of our wedding to ensure we were doing okay and went over every detail with both my husband and me to make sure she and her team didn't miss anything. We cannot wait to work with Teyanna again in the future.

My husband and I hired Madison as our day of coordinator. We did not hire a florist and ended up doing a lot of DIY projects for our wedding decor. We really wanted a professional to help us with setup and take-down of decor on the wedding day, so as not to burden our family/friends and take them away from the event to help. Madison was so friendly in the months leading up to the wedding and offered us lots of helpful advice on things we didn't even think to prepare for, like arranging seating charts and timing of processional songs. Our original venue coordinator ended up having to move away just a couple weeks before our wedding day, and Madison took the lead in syncing with the new venue coordinator on all the things we'd talked about. This really helped us out and took a load off our plate in those last few weeks before the wedding! The day of, she came early to the venue and, like a fairy godmother, had incorporated all of our decorations beautifully before we even arrived, so we were able to take lots of photos beforehand! Throughout the event, she cleverly found ways to repurpose some of our decor items to give them a second life, like setting reception flower arrangements along the room's bookshelves to dress them up for the ceremony, making a beautiful display with our ceremony roses and boutonnieres on our memory table, and using me and my bridesmaids' bouquets to create a beautiful sweetheart table arrangement! We were so incredibly thrilled with how well Madison and her team were able to follow our vision and exceed our expectations. A final sweet memory I have from near the end of the night - my hair was getting very tangled with my dress buttons on my back from dancing, and I was overheating and sweaty. Madison and her team arranged my hair into a beautiful low bun style so I could go back and have fun dancing again without worrying about it tangling further or looking bad. :) I'm so thankful we hired Madison as our day of coordinator, and we can't recommend her enough!!

Here at Tree Films, we make your story a priority. We strive to get to know our couples and how they came to be, down to the silly coincidences and weird first dates. We like to think that our mission goes beyond just documenting your wedding day -- the goal is to create an unforgettable experience! We are invested in making each video as genuine as possible, as if your story was being told by a best friend who witnessed all the important stuff. Tell us who you are as a couple and let us put together a video that tells the story from day one to I do!

When we were in the process of looking for photo/video vendors for our wedding, we knew we wanted a combined service, but we were having a hard time finding the right fit. Someone I was looking into did not have our date available, but they recommended Tree Films Creative. When I say this was the best thing that could've happened to us, I MEAN IT. Tree Films has been nothing short of amazing. I was amazed that they were even available for our date. From the very beginning, Ashley was so personable, she listened to what we wanted, she was knowledgeable, and so professional. She was our main point of contact and her and I instantly became what felt like good friends (even though I only met her via zoom calls). I asked her for help with a few things throughout the process and she never batted an eye and helped me with it all! She was very responsive; I was never waiting for a response or wondering what was going on. She always kept me in the loop. Once our big day finally arrived, Ashley and her team were at the venue before I arrived. She greeted me and I felt like I already knew her. The entire Tree Films Creative team made me, my husband, and entire bridal party comfortable and I remember having a sense of ease. I could not recommend this team enough. They went above and beyond for everything on my wedding day and beyond. At this moment, I have received photo previews, which was way more than I thought, (happily) and I cannot wait for more! I have seen the teaser film and am just blown away. I am patiently waiting to see the rest of the photos and videos and I know for a fact that they are going to be incredible. I am so happy they were the ones who captured our day for us. I can go on and on about Tree Films; they were a literal DREAM TEAM. Without a doubt, I would highly recommend!

We were very happy with the band we chose for our wedding. They brought great energy, played a solid mix of music that kept our guests dancing, and added a fun vibe to the night. They were also flexible which i really appreciated. They were willing to work with our unique setup, including performing on a backyard stage we built. Most importantly, they really listened to what we wanted and tailored the music to match the tone we envisioned. Their professionalism and adaptability helped everything go smoothly. We’re really glad we had them as part of our celebration and would definitely recommend them to other couples.

Lindsay and Nathan are an incredible team. From booking them two years ago, doing our engagement session, and now having gotten sneak peaks back from our wedding that was just 2 days ago, I’m completely blown away by how incredible they have been! Lindsay is a complete pro. Group photos flew by because she was so great at directing and wrangling everyone. I had multiple people comment on how she was EVERYWHERE non-stop at our wedding, doing an amazing job the whole time! I just know she got every picture I wanted and more, and with how gorgeous our sneak peaks turned out I know I’ll absolutely love them! She and Nathan were so on top of everything, and made us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera. Not only that, she truly went above and beyond helping to safety pin a rip in my dress. The day was a whirlwind but Lindsay and Nathan made it so easy! I would hire them a million times over!
