Rayleen is perfection! If you are looking for a photographer that will not only give you the best photos ever, but also become your friend then Rayleen is your girl! I was very specific about the photographer I was looking for as our venue is very dark and moody so I wanted a photographer that does that same thing. From the moment we met Rayleen we knew she was the one. We loved that we were vibing with her right away and she got that we did not want a lot of posed portraits. We were looking for a lot more candid photos. We did out engagement shoot at the brewery I work at and the photos came out amazing. We knew then that we had picked the right photographer. We had the best day taking photos, we never felt rushed or over photographed. We got our photos back in about 15 weeks which I thought was great even though she kept apologizing it was taking so long! Thank you Rayleen for not only being an amazing photographer, but also for becoming a friend!

Awarded Best of Zola
We should start by saying that we were very on the fence about a videographer for our wedding. We had a small, intimate ceremony of 50 people, and felt confident photographs would be sufficient. We can confidently say hiring Ben to film our wedding was one of the best decisions we made. Everyone warned us that the day would fly by, and it absolutely did. Ben was not only wonderful to work with, but also did an amazing job of capturing the day. He captured so many special moments that we would have missed, because there really is a lot that goes on, and has provided us such a special gift in being able to relive the best day of our lives (thus far). Ben is so skilled at his craft that he was everywhere and yet we did not feel as if we had a camera on us all night. Not to mention, he is warm, friendly, receptive to all questions, and very responsive. We are so thankful to have gotten to work with him, and could not provide a stronger recommendation.

We're Ashley and James, nature—inspired storytellers and creative partners who are here to capture your most precious moments. As a husband-and-wife team, we understand the importance of connection. We take the time to get to know you so that your wedding film reflects your unique journey together. We’re drawn to the beauty of those candid moments—the joyful smiles, heartfelt tears, and loving embraces—and we transform them into cinematic treasures that you and your loved ones will cherish for generations.

Had the BEST experience with Tree Films Creative! From the initial inquiry to our wedding day, everything has been so easy and smooth with Ashley and James. They instantly made us feel so comfortable, in general, and in front of the camera. Communications over email and/or text were clear and timely, and it was apparent how organized and on top of their agenda they were. What I especially appreciated was the timeline and layout of the entire wedding day, from start to finish, all the photos Ashley planned to take; with who, where, etc. It was easy to follow and we could customize/add any specific group photos/photo poses we wanted to take. The sneak peek preview of some of the photos was such an unexpected and impressively quick turnaround - we got them while we were on our honeymoon! So that was another exciting bit of the honeymoon we weren't expecting but got to enjoy and appreciate together. I am so looking forward to the rest of the photos and video and will definitely be working with these guys again for our first born baby photos!!

  • Best for events with big guest lists
Awarded Best of Zola
Our experience with The Riverview was incredible from start to finish. The process of booking included a detailed tour of the venue and a thorough review of the terms and conditions at a meeting to sign the contract, leaving us confident that we fully understood what we were agreeing to. Our tasting event was a wonderful chance to see the team in action and make some decisions about our own menu based on what we did and didn’t like. We worked with Kayla and Meghan as our coordinators, both of whom were a pleasure to work with and extremely responsive throughout the planning process. We were able to take advantage of their expertise based on experiences with past weddings but still had the flexibility to customize the details of the day so that it didn’t feel like a “cookie-cutter” event. And the physical space is truly beautiful! Our planning experience was wonderful, but the experience with the venue and team on the day of our wedding was exceptional. Meghan’s positive but firm leadership kept things moving smoothly and between her and our attendants, Cam and Felicia, every detail was attended to! They were prepared for everything, even wardrobe malfunctions, makeup mishaps, and last-minute requests. We did quite a bit of DIY planning and customizing, but on the day of, we did not need to lift a finger! We were especially impressed the the special attention paid to our priorities. My husband and I were excited about our menu and prioritized food during our planning meetings. At our wedding, the venue made sure we had plenty of opportunity to eat, but the excitement of the day took away our appetite. The Riverview team packed up all of the food we couldn’t eat and sent us home with our leftovers (plus some!) so that we still got to enjoy our meal! Another item worth noting is that although two weddings took place that night, we never would have known it! We could not hear the other wedding in our ballroom and never encountered the other group during the entire time we were on site! In short, planning our wedding at The Riverview was an amazing experience, and the wedding day itself was even better! I’d encourage anyone to book!

I cannot begin to express the magic that Sara brought to our wedding day. Literally from the moment we discussed our vision, I knew Sara was going to deliver something incredible... but what she did was beyond my wildest dreams. Sara didn’t just provide flowers; she crafted this ethereal experience that surpassed every expectation. But it wasn’t just the flowers that made Sara exceptional. It was the personal touch, the unwavering commitment to making our day flawless, and the genuine passion that she poured into every aspect of her work.

I had the pleasure of working with Sarah for my wedding, and I truly couldn’t have asked for a more amazing makeup and hair artist. From the trial to the day-of services — makeup, hair, and even thoughtful touch-ups — she made the entire experience feel effortless and enjoyable. What stood out the most was how comfortable she made me feel. I was extremely nervous on my wedding day, and Sarah went above and beyond to help keep me calm. She was patient, kind, and had this wonderful calming presence that I genuinely needed. It felt like having a friend by my side who just happened to be incredibly talented at what she does. My makeup and hair turned out beyond beautiful, lasted all day, and made me feel like the best version of myself. I received so many compliments, and I owe it all to her skill and care. I’m so grateful I chose Sarah — she’s not only talented, but she truly cares about her brides. I would recommend her in a heartbeat!

  • Planner

  • Serves Kensington, CT

I have been a wedding and event planner for over five years, bringing a wealth of experience and a passion for creating unforgettable celebrations. Before stepping into the world of weddings and events, I was a teacher — a role that honed her organization skills, creativity, and ability to keep even the busiest schedules running smoothly. Today, I combine those strengths with my love for celebrating love stories, creating magical events, guiding my couples through every detail to help them plan the wedding or event of their dreams.

Ashley was the perfect wedding planner for our special day. From the start, Ashley's communication style put us at ease through the whole planning process. Her passion and organizational skills made sure every detail was handled seamlessly. She had a special way of keeping us calm and making sure everything was perfect, even when the weather threw us a curve ball with a rainy and muggy forecast. The best part is that we now have a lifelong friend in Ashley - we share a love of McDonalds and being "sourdough girlies". We highly recommend Ashley Albanese Weddings and Events to any couple looking for a wedding planner who will go above and beyond to make your day unforgettable.

Awarded Best of Zola
Shukhrat Kamalov was a standout HIT. Our guests felt like absolute celebs! We didn't want the standard photobooth as it can come off a little too cheesy for my tastes. And since we were asking all of our guests to come dressed in their best, we decided it was only appropriate they also get their own designated photographer. Shukhrat took his time with each of our guest's photo sessions, directing them and taking multiple shots until our guests loved what he captured. AND he printed them out so our guests had something to bring home. All of our guests told us that these photos would be framed in their home . THEY WERE THAT GOOD.

I highly recommend MBM Weddings to any future brides for their big day. Melanie was so open to our ideas, but also super knowledgeable on what shots and angles and lighting could help capture the perfect pictures. We also received the preview shots just one week after our wedding date, and were blown away by how amazing they were. Melanie also has a great personality so she was amazing working with kids and our grandparents. She is now hired for my sister's wedding!

This little hobby that started back in 2015 has become an absolute dream come true!! Photographing weddings is my second favorite part of this job, with serving the most incredible couples being the first!
