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
The Stately Rose Beauty Studio was absolutely amazing to work with for my wedding day. From the very first consultation, they were prompt, proactive, and made me feel at ease. Their communication was top-notch, and they went above and beyond to ensure my hair and makeup were perfect. Despite the incredibly windy conditions that forced us to move cocktail hour inside, my hair and makeup stayed flawless through all the outdoor photos and the rest of the reception. I received so many compliments on my hair and make up, even days later. My mother-in-law even shed a few happy tears at how beautiful her make up looked. The team at Stately Rose has such great personalities - they were efficient, skilled, and made the entire process so easy. I cannot recommend them highly enough for any bride looking for an amazing beauty team for their special day.

I usually don’t like being in photos, but somehow they made me forget the camera was even there. Everything felt easy and natural, and the photos turned out beautiful without trying too hard. They captured the real stuff—laughs, nerves, little glances. It felt more like being seen than being photographed.

I am beyond happy that we chose to have Ben as our videographer at our wedding. We hired Ben before the pandemic hit and then had to make the difficult to decisions to push our wedding back...multiple times. Throughout all the various postponements and rescheduling, Ben was unbelievably supportive, kind, and understanding. In our communication, he was empathetic and considerate, making us feel truly valued and cared for. When we were finally able to get married, Ben was fantastic. He managed to capture all of the beautiful moments of the wedding that we might have otherwise missed, and his footage really captured the energy and personality of us as a couple. He sent along the footage in a timely manner, again with thoughtful communication. He also made a beautiful highlight video that felt like he really knew us and understood what mattered to us. Overall, Ben went above and beyond in his kindness and communication. He is a person you want with you in the planning process, on your wedding day, and afterwards!! We are so happy to have worked with such a wonderful, thoughtful person!

Tree Films Creative // Wedding Photos and Films 
Rating: 5.0 (24 reviews)
  • Videographer
  • Storytelling style
  • Starts at $5,000
  • Serves Kensington, CT

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.

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!

My camera allows me to work where I know I work best, behind-the-scenes, front row at some of the most profound moments in people's lives. In a pinch though, I'll be there carrying the train, making sure you don't get your shoes dirty and helping to support you where I can throughout your wedding day!

David was absolutely amazing — both professional and so personal at the same time! From the very beginning, he walked us through everything, from customizing our ceremony to making sure we knew exactly what to expect on the big day. He took the time to really get to know us, and it showed in every single part of our ceremony. What we loved most is that David somehow feels like both a pro and a friend. He’s organized and experienced, but also warm, kind, and genuinely cares. You never feel like just another client with him — you feel supported, understood, and completely taken care of. He was such a great communicator throughout the whole process — super responsive, always available if we had a question, and just so easy to work with. During the ceremony, he absolutely shined. He spoke clearly and with purpose, enunciating every word so that every guest could hear and feel the meaning behind what he was saying. His timing, tone, and presence were perfect — confident, engaging, and full of heart. We can’t say enough good things about David. Having him as our officiant made our wedding day even more special. We’ll be recommending him to everyone we know — near and far — just so we can see him in action again!

We’re still buzzing from the night. Our wedding reception was everything we dreamed of and then some. And B_entertained? Total legends. From the first song to the last laugh in the photo booth, they got us. They played our weird mix of throwbacks, club anthems, and guilty pleasures like they were reading our minds. Our friends didn’t sit down once. Neither did we. The photo booth? Hilarious. Silly hats. Glitter. Happy chaos. And somehow, they made everyone look fabulous, even sweaty at 11pm. But more than the music and the photos—it’s who they are. Kind. Inclusive. Real. We never once had to explain who we are. They just… saw us. Celebrated us. That matters more than we can say. They gave us a night that felt like us. All in one place. No stress. No weird vibes. Just love, light, and bass. Thank you B_entertained! You’ll always be part of our story.

Hi, I’m Sarah! The owner of Smainsbeauty. I am a licensed cosmetologist and makeup artist. I specialize in bridal hair and makeup. I offer a variety of add on services, such as extensions. I will travel just about anywhere to make your day special.

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!

The first day I worked in floral design, I knew I was home. It quickly became my passion, inspiration, and outlet and has allowed me to bring so much added beauty to people’s favorite days! It’s all in the details and as overwhelming as it may be, that’s where I find solace! Working as a partner and team mate to my clients, I find, creates the best experience to fit everyone’s needs, keeping the quality of product and experience! With that being said, let’s get to work!

Working with Taylor at New Leaf Florals was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From our first conversation, she listened closely to what we wanted and asked thoughtful questions to understand our vision. Taylor's designs are incredibly unique and unlike anything you'd normally see at a wedding—they felt like living art. When I saw my bridal bouquet, I actually cried, it was so perfect. She responded quickly to all of our messages and made the whole process feel easy and stress-free. Taylor listened and truly understood our vision, she covered certain areas we wanted hidden and accentuated other areas of the venue we wanted highlighted. We can't recommend New Leaf Florals enough! Thank you, Taylor!
