Oh So Lovely Makeup & Hair

“Victoria is awesome! She is so sweet, professional, fun and responsive. She made me feel so comfortable during my trial and we played around with my hair and make up until it was perfect. The day of my wedding was even better - she came ready to go and I’ve never felt more beautiful. My wedding guests told me I looked like a model and even afterward when people saw pictures they immediately complimented my glam! I wanted to go for a natural but pretty look and Victoria killed it. I went with a classic low bun and it looked great and stayed together all night. Highly recommend! She was also super helpful with recommending make up as well.”

The Butterfly Effect Weddings

“I could not have planned my wedding day without Amalia. She was so professional and thoughtful throughout the entire planning process and up to the wedding day! She helped me with everything from getting costs from vendors to creating signage. She was vital during my planning process making sure I didn’t miss a detail or step along the way. She was always quick to respond and so creative when it came to helping my vision come to life. I was really focused on the décor and signs for my wedding and Amalia came to the rescue designing over 20 signs for me including a custom logo that was used across multiple items. She is so passionate about weddings and it shows in her work from signs to day of set up. Her goal is to make sure you have the best day and everything goes as seamless as possible. Thank you Amalia and team, I couldn’t have done it without you!”

“I’ve known Norman (and the newlyweds) for years, and watching him lead the ceremony was truly amazing. I had the pleasure of being a bridesmaid, and they honestly couldn’t have picked a better officiant! He made everything feel so warm and personal, heartfelt, and even a little fun! He gave us smiles, he gave us laughs, and he perfectly captured the couple’s personalities. Weddings can be hectic and stressful, but he made sure that on the big day they were calm, confident, and completely at ease in front of everyone. It was very natural, very organic, and I loved that. The ceremony flowed beautifully, and so many of us were smiling, laughing, and even tearing up at the perfect moments. The bridesmaids cried, the groomsmen cried, we all cried. But it was all happy tears, such a beautiful thing to be apart of! We all had such a great time, and you could just tell how much thought and care he put into making their day special. If you want someone who’s professional, warm, and makes the whole experience unforgettable, someone who’s going to reflect on your personalities and your journey as a couple, and someone to really move and make your guests feel that love in the atmosphere, Norman is the man to call! You surely won’t regret it.”

“Choosing the Park Chateau was the best decision we could have made! From the moment we showed interest in the venue, we could tell that their service is top notch. Devin the sales manager was so responsive via email and phone. Throughout the entire planning process, she and her team walked us through every step with so much organization and helpful tips, to make sure no detail was missed, and to make sure that we did not have to worry about anything on our wedding day. As soon as we arrived at the venue for our wedding day, we truly felt like royalty. The bridal suite is so spacious for our entire bridal party to get ready in and have fun. The bridal attendants were amazing and helped us get ready and set everything up for the photographer. We brought some personal things to display for our memory table, and jewelry/details for our getting ready photos, and we did not have to worry about setting it up at all. Their team did it all for us! One flower girl arrived with stains in her dress and the team managed to get all the stains out. The team made sure to contact all of our vendors to coordinate their arrivals, set up, and tips, so we did not have to worry about a thing on our big day. They truly made our entire wedding day stress free! The communication between the team members is phenomenal. They are aware of everything and make sure no detail gets missed. They made sure my husband and I had quality time together at our wedding so we can actually enjoy the moment, time with our guests, time to eat, and also time to dance. I hear so many people say they did not eat at their wedding, or they barely made it on the dancefloor. The PC staff makes sure you get it all on your wedding day. The bridal attendants made sure my dress was bustled, clean and spotless the entire night. They made sure we were comfortable, even providing us cold towels to cool off after a lot of dancing. They were always nearby with drinks and water throughout the night, making sure we had everything and anything we could need. Their team is one of the main things that stand out compared to all other venues, and I cannot even put into words how exceptional they are. They are kind, professional, and SO helpful. And of course the venue itself is BEAUTIFUL - from the grounds to the ballroom, to the hotel right nextdoor. Everything is perfectly clean, decorated, and manicured. Our guests have not stopped raving about how amazing the food and cocktail hour was, how beautiful the venue was, and how convenient it was to be able to walk next door to the hotel. Shout out to the best team - Devin, Oscar, Dawn, Ashley, Jeremiah, and Kerianne. I truly cannot explain how grateful we are to have had such an amazing team and the most incredible wedding day. I am still in awe of how perfect it was. The Park Chateau is worth every penny. Now we are hoping someone we know gets married here soon so we can experience it again as guests!”

When you hire Jamie you actually GET Jamie as your photographer on your wedding day! Why? 1. I LOVE photographing weddings! (I don’t want to send someone else to “do it for me” 🤪) 2. If you’re reading this, then you’re at the stage right now where you are researching individual photographers style, reading reviews showing their reputation, and scheduling a call to research their personality while sharing your vision. …. Now imaging doing all that work just for a “team member” or “an associate” photographer to show up on your wedding day? CRAZY RIGHT?! When you hire Jamie, your date is locked in FOR YOU, no unwanted surprises!

“Let’s start off by saying that I planned my own wedding, and I am quite particular and critical. Having also attended art school with a BFA in photography, it’s especially challenging for me to find another creative whom I'm both impressed by their portfolio/aesthetic and can trust as another artist. With that being said, I am so happy that I found Carlo and his wonderful team through my friend. Hands down, Carlo’s team was my FAVORITE VENDOR, and a vendor that I feel incredibly fortunate to have hired and believe is worth every penny for the extra services we paid for. In weddings where a million things could go wrong in so many directions, Carlo’s team went above and beyond. Every time I look back, I am filled with a sense of gratitude and relief that I hired him. This feeling cannot be said for other vendors. TLDR: Just hire Carlo for your wedding, and you won’t regret it, I promise you. Carlo’s team is amazing for the following reasons: Communication: Carlo was THE MOST RESPONSIVE vendor out of everyone I worked with. He always acknowledged receipt of emails and took the time to answer all of my questions. Carlo managed expectations well and was super proactive throughout the process. Although Carlo himself had unfortunately been booked on the day of my wedding, he made sure that his team would cover his absence and deliver the creative vision shown in his portfolio, which they absolutely did. What was even more impressive was that throughout the process, from getting to know the team to planning the day, all the way leading up to my wedding, Carlo himself was very much involved even though he wasn’t going to be on-site. He didn’t just hand off the project because his team was covering for him. Creative Vision: Carlo is exceptional with his craft and vision. When we received the teaser reel, we were blown away. And then when we received the final edited movie, it really brought back emotions from the day of our wedding. It was shot and edited in the most natural but beautiful way, with many thoughtful transitions and edits. As a creative myself, I could see how much time and thought Carlo spent during the editing process. It is so well-crafted, and even the raw footage came out amazing. Professionalism: From the way Carlo’s team set up and collaborated with the photographers to how they handled themselves during a fire drill (unexpected thunder & rain, last-minute changes, etc.), to how they gave directions to me and my husband, they were such pros and a pleasure to work with. Also, they were the only ones who captured the wedding ceremony space due to some unexpected hiccups that occurred. Carlo’s team is calm, collected, and incredibly thoughtful. They are genuinely great people whom you would want to invite to your wedding for the positive vibe they bring. I can’t thank you enough Carlo and the team! You guys are the ABSOLUTE BEST!!”

“Lisa and Pieter are truly the most amazing wedding photographers! We knew without a doubt that we wanted to use them for our wedding and we felt even better about our decision when we got our engagement photos—WOW! Our engagement shoot exceeded all of our expectations. Fast forward to just before the wedding—Lisa contacted all of our vendors to introduce herself and to help coordinate. My makeup artist and hair stylist were blown away by this. They thought it was super helpful of her to reach out and helped solidify a timeline with everyone. My videographer said that Lisa was such a pleasure to work with! She really went above and beyond. She helped keep me calm on my wedding day and her and Pieter truly captured every special moment. They have such an incredible eye. We could not be happier with our wedding gallery. We have gotten SO many compliments on our wedding photos and several people reached out to me asking for Lisa’s info for the future!

From the first intro meeting, both women were extremely kind, attentive and clearly amazing at their job. We had no doubts after our first call that we wanted to work with them. We had a few calls throughout our wedding journey and I was never concerned with how amazing the flowers would turn out! I felt comfortable enough to express what changes I wanted to make (very minimal) and was happy with the revisions the team presented at our next meeting. Carolyn and Kristina are such a pleasure to work with and made our whole wedding floral experience seamless, fun and easy. The florals turned out to be AMAZING and we couldn't be happier with the end result. The colors matched everything so perfectly and I couldn't have dreamed of better pictures because of the flowers.

“We were worried we wouldn’t be able to find a photographer who could capture everything we wanted and truly fit our needs. Then we found Shelby—and from that moment on, every worry disappeared. We cannot recommend Shelby highly enough for all your wedding photography needs. From the very beginning, she stood out—not just for her stunning work we first saw on Instagram, but for the connection she built with us right after our initial call. We knew instantly we had found our photographer. Shelby’s meticulous planning, sharp attention to detail, and vibrant, fun energy made the entire experience an absolute joy from start to finish. She went above and beyond, not only capturing breathtaking images of our wedding day but also taking the time to truly get to know us as a couple. Our engagement shoot was the perfect warm-up. Meeting Shelby beforehand, getting comfortable in front of the camera, and building that trust meant that on our wedding day, it didn’t feel like we were meeting a vendor—it felt like we were welcoming a friend. On the big day itself, Shelby, her assistant, and her videographer were a dream team: professional, punctual, proactive, and seamless in their coordination. They helped everything flow effortlessly, and we both agreed they were hands down our favorite vendors to work with. The photos speak for themselves, but beyond that, Shelby gave us an experience we’ll never forget. My wife and I kept saying how incredibly lucky we were to have her as our photographer. If you’re searching for someone who will deliver jaw-dropping photos while making the process fun, stress-free, and deeply personal, Shelby is the one.”

I’m a drummer, a mother of two amazing kids, and a proud owner of an 80lb Samoyed. My passion for photography is deeply influenced by my family legacy—my grandmother was a dedicated full-time photographer who spent her life capturing and hand-coloring her own images. Growing up immersed in her art has profoundly shaped my own approach to photography. As a photographer, I'd love to capture the journey of two people in love, telling the genuine and touching story of their life together. I strive to create images that convey heartfelt narratives and reflect the true essence of your relationship and the moments you share.

“Finding Momo on social media was a total game-changer. I was instantly drawn to her documentary-style photography, which beautifully focuses on genuine moments and raw emotions. I wanted photos that would make our special day live on forever, and Momo delivered exactly that. From day one, working with her was incredibly easy—from the initial consultation to signing the contract and discussing our shot list. She quickly became the vendor I trusted the most, and that trust was not in vain; she was hands-down the best person we worked with for our entire wedding. On the wedding day, she actually arrived at our hotel before I did! Since we didn't have a wedding planner, I hadn't prepared perfectly for her, but Momo is a true professional. She made brilliant use of whatever was available, capturing stunning photos of us, our loved ones, and our accessories seamlessly. My husband and I are both quite shy and introverted, and the idea of being the center of attention in front of a camera felt incredibly daunting. But Momo has a magical way of easing all of that anxiety. Instead of forcing stiff, awkward poses, she gently guided us to just look at each other, breathe, and be present. She made us feel completely safe, relaxed, and happy. Because of her gentle approach, she captured our true selves rather than a performative version of us. The photos genuinely reflect exactly who we are and how our love feels. In fact, our friends keep telling us that every single photo looks like a gorgeous frame of a short film—there is so much cinematic storytelling and life in each shot. To top it all off, she was incredibly fast with delivering both the sneak peeks and the final online gallery, and was always responsive to our questions. Momo is generous, genuine, and truly invested in making your day as special as possible. We are deeply grateful for her and cannot recommend her enough!”

She is professional, kind, and listens to every want and worry of yours. It feels like working with someone I have known my whole life, and her calming presence on such a big day was exactly what I needed. My makeup for my trial and my wedding day held up so so well, even through my first look tears!! I have truly never felt more beautiful in my life, and I am looking forward to continue using Ashley’s services for any and all of my makeup needs moving forward. Thank you SO much Ashley!”

“Sam is truly talented at creating one-of-a-kind photos, weaving natural elements and moments together in a way that feels uniquely you, and goes above and beyond by lending a hand with anything that keeps the day running smoothly. As the only photographer on our wedding day, Sam was a powerhouse and successfully organized an 18-person bridal party while also helping to wrangle almost 10 kids. He also managed a group sparkler moment that doubled in size at the last minute, and then a group photo with all 150 guests … perfectly within the amount of time it takes to serve dessert. If you want a photographer who is talented, reliable, and genuinely invested in telling your story, go with Sam!”

“Working with Seamless I Do's was a truly exceptional experience. Their communication style was quick, detailed, smart, kind, and flexible, which made the planning process so smooth. The quality of their work was highly professional, timely, seamless, and organized. Bebe, our wedding planner, made sure we stuck to our timelines to ensure we accomplished everything we had planned. She was able to work well under pressure and think quickly on her feet when any challenges arose. Bebe also set up all of our wedding props perfectly. Our day wouldn't have been so perfect without her - she truly went above and beyond to help make it amazing.”

“I don't even know where to begin — our June 13th, 2025 wedding at the Olde Mill Inn was truly everything we dreamed of and more. From the moment we arrived to the final sendoff, it felt like we had stepped straight into a Hallmark movie. The Setting We used both the Grain House and the Grand Ballroom, and each space had its own charm. Our ceremony took place in the courtyard, and it was absolutely magical — the gardens, the stone walls, the romantic ambiance... it all felt timeless and intimate. We had about 100 guests, and everyone kept commenting on how beautiful and well-thought-out everything was. The Team Lea and John were nothing short of amazing. Lea was with us every step of the way through the planning process, answering all our questions (and calming my nerves more than once). John, our maître d’, was a dream on the day of — he made sure we were always taken care of, that everything ran smoothly, and that we actually got to eat during cocktail hour and dinner (which so many brides don’t!). The Experience It’s honestly hard to pick one thing I loved most because everything — the service, the food, the atmosphere, the convenience of having our guests stay on-site — was perfect. The staff made us feel like royalty, but also like family. Every detail felt intentional and personalized. It wasn’t just a wedding; it was an experience. A Moment I’ll Never Forget There was a quiet moment after the ceremony, before heading to cocktail hour, when John pulled us aside, gave us a glass of champagne, and let us soak it all in — just the two of us. That pause, in the middle of such a whirlwind day, meant the world. Final Thoughts If you're considering the Olde Mill Inn for your wedding, don’t hesitate. The entire day felt like it was lifted from a movie set, but it was our movie — beautiful, heartfelt, and joy-filled. We’ll forever be grateful to Lea, John, and the entire team for giving us the best day of our lives. Forever grateful, Danielle and James”

I am Paul, a husband, father, and photographer serving the east coast NY, NJ, tri-state area, and available for travel worldwide. I have a joy and enthusiasm for life, love, and marriage. I love creating beautiful photos and capturing moments and memories but more importantly I love to photograph weddings and engagements because I love marriage and the love it signifies.

“Paul was absolutely incredible to work with! We had the pleasure of working with him for both our engagement shoot and wedding, and he made every moment enjoyable. From the start, Paul was kind, communicative, and incredibly creative. My husband and I can sometimes feel awkward in front of the camera, but Paul made us feel completely at ease. He avoided overly posed shots and instead guided us into natural, flattering poses, (but still fun and creative) which turned out stunning. We were a bit nervous about finding a great photo location without needing to drive somewhere else. We thought we might be able to take photos around the grounds; Paul arrived early and scouted out the best spots, ensuring we had the perfect backdrops for our pictures. We had a few edit requests, and Paul was more than accommodating. On the wedding day, he was meticulous in capturing all of our group photo requests and making sure no detail was missed. At the reception, Paul expertly documented all the little moments that will allow us to relive those joyful memories for years to come. We couldn't be happier with our photos!”
