Awarded Best of Zola
IF you want a wedding photographer who will instantly become a friend look no further than Meraki Photos Inc. We met Rayleen at the Connecticut Bridal and Wedding Expo and instantly feel in love with the spirit of her work. Rayleen’s eye for detail is amazing. Throw that in with her technical skills, down to earth personality, and professionalism and you have found yourself a true artist. Rayleen will stop at nothing to make sure she captures the most incredible shots, even if that means going outside in freezing cold temperatures or scaling a fence. She takes the time to get to know you as a couple, listen to your vision, and create magic that you didn’t even know you needed. Our fall wedding was the most beautiful day and I am so grateful that we booked with Meraki Photos. The photos from the day are absolutely stunning and capture the real joy and essence of our love. Seriously our friends and family cannot stop raving on how beautifully everything was photographed. We have found a life long photographer in Rayleen. She has been there with us through all our most important moments: engagement photoshoot, wedding day, maternity session, newborn photoshoot and mommy and me photo session. We are looking forward to our daughter’s smash cake session and family Christmas photos this year. We wholeheartedly recommend Meraki Photos Inc to anyone seeking extraordinary photos and an unforgettable experience.

Awarded Best of Zola
I cannot thank The Stately Rose enough for the amazing work they did on my wedding day! From the very beginning, they were such a pleasure to work with. I felt very outside my comfort zone in knowing what kind of look I wanted and they were so helpful in narrowing down the style I liked and helped me in deciding between traditional or airbrush makeup. While I was nervous going into it, they consistently put me at ease. On the big day, they did an absolutely stunning job for me, my bridesmaids, my mom, and my mother-in-law. Janelle is truly the best at updos and I got so many compliments throughout the day on the glam look Lexus gave me. I felt so beautiful, and I know the other women did too! We didn’t have a lot of space to work with, but they handled it like pros, adapting to our surroundings without skipping a beat. Their professionalism and positive attitude really helped set the tone for a relaxed and enjoyable morning. Thank you so much, The Stately Rose, for making us all look and feel our best on such a special day! I would recommend them to anyone looking for a talented, kind, and dependable team for their wedding.

Awarded Best of Zola
Just absolutely outstanding, every step of the way. We hired Ariana and her company to play music for our entire wedding (ceremony & reception). A string quartet and drummer. Wouldn't hesitate to hire them again. Our guests were both surprised and filled with wonder at how the music fit seamlessly with the wedding: that's the beauty of the art and the professionalism that that Ariana String Groups brings. Ariana's group learned a new song especially for me, and it meant so much for me to hear it at the wedding (Both Sides Now, by Joni Mitchell). One of the incredible things about Ariana and her company is that they aren't just about the music: they help you every step of the way. We needed help and advice on many "things wedding" and Ariana not only helped us make decisions, but she and her team stepped up and coordinated when we needed help. Music is extremely important in my life, but I had some very specific requirements for the wedding because of my own needs. Ariana never hesitated - she was a true partner. It was a blessing to not have to worry about something I needed to go right. Fabulous.

Rating: 5.0 (26 reviews)
  • Videographer
  • Storytelling style
  • Starts at $5,000
  • Serves Marlborough, 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.

Treefilms is a stellar photography and videography company! After our venue, they were the second vendor we booked as photography and videography was very important to us. Ashley was responsive and kind from the beginning! She was open to our ideas in regard to location and then made it look even better in the photo video! We felt so comfortable during that shoot and at our wedding in front of the camera with them. They gave us enough direction that it was easy to know what to do, but did not result in stiff or overly posed pictures. The candid shots that they captured throughout the wedding day are photos we will cherish; they were able to capture all the emotions so perfectly. The team worked seamlessly with all the other vendors, they truly know what they’re doing! (Shoutout to Ashley for doing up the buttons on my dress!) Our wedding video is a work of art, I don’t think it’s comparable to the standard videos produced by other vendors. Treefilms is the vendor we recommend most to friends and family, and we look forward to working with them again in the future!

I got married at the Riverview about 2 weeks ago and cannot begin to express how perfect it all was! The views and large windows in the ballroom were gorgeous on top of the landscaping of the grounds. It was EXTREMELY affordable compared to other venues we looked into, especially because we were coming from California to get married. We brought a few decor items of our own and the Riverview did the rest. They were so so easy to work with and we were so well taken care of the day of by our attendants (Tanya and Synsere!). It was the perfect day from start to finish and just felt easy and simple and we have gotten RAVE reviews from everyone who attended and so many compliments on the food, the service, and how lovely it all was.

You picked out the perfect dress.  Your bouquet has all your favorite flowers, with vivid colors that match your wedding theme.  Every last detail fits your personality perfectly.  This is YOUR day.  Shouldn't your wedding video reflect that? We specialize in creating wedding videos that match the vibe and the spirit of your celebration.  Every creation we make is personally customized.  Look through our examples and you'll see each couple's personality and spirit shine through the images.  No two videos are alike, because no two wedding days are alike.

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.

Rachel was amazing to work with and extremely talented. She spent so much time speaking with my husband and I about exactly what we wanted. We sent her inspiration photos and she really brought our vision to life - and then some! The arrangements were more beautiful than I could have imagined. The wedding that happened after our send off brunch wanted to take our arrangements for their wedding!! Others at the resort walked by and asked to take photos. Our florals were one of the most talked about features of our wedding by our guests and we owe it all to FlowerWorks! Rachel was early and quick with set up. We had absolutely no issues working with her, it was a beyond pleasant experience and I keep trying to find a reason to hire her again!!

We got married here and truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the planning process through the wedding day, everything felt seamless and so thoughtfully handled. The space itself is absolutely beautiful and photographs so well, and the team made everything feel easy, organized, and stress-free—which made a huge difference for us. They were also open to my many ideas, and helped me decide the best ways to incorporate special moments I wanted in our day… like including our loved pets outside, or the special cocktail hour ride to the top of the mountain. Our guests are still talking about how gorgeous everything was and how smoothly the day went. We’re so grateful we chose this venue and would highly recommend it to any couple!

I’m Julia, the photographer behind J. Graham Photo! What started as a creative outlet quickly became the career I can’t imagine living without. I specialize in capturing weddings, couples, and all the big + small moments that make your story yours. My approach is relaxed, fun, and real — no stiff poses, just natural direction to help you feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera. Based in Connecticut but always down to travel!

Julia is one of the best photographers. She puts hard work into every shoot making sure you’re comfortable and makes you laugh. The photos come out flawless every single time, never disappoints! Booking with her is super easy and she communicates really well.

We couldn't be happier with our engagement photo session! Shukhrat and his wife Rachel are absolute pros. They took their time to understand exactly what we wanted and then delivered beyond our expectations! The entire experience was relaxed and enjoyable, and the photos turned out stunning! Their attention to detail and ability to capture little moments made our session truly special. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for a talented and professional photography team! 10/10!!

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.

Where do I begin? I contacted Sarah a couple months prior to my wedding and she was so enthusiastic to help! I’ve known Sarah since high school and have seen her grow as a hairstylist/make up artist through social media so I really did trust that she would make me shine for my big day. From getting my hair colored prior to the wedding, to the hair and make up trial and me leaving feeling like an absolute princess, I was ready for my wedding to come. Sarah made me feel so welcome in her studio and answered any and all of my questions no matter how dumb they seemed. Wedding day came and went in a flash, she was on time (early), she battled my toddlers getting into her things when she first entered and she made me feel like I was her priority, like nothing else mattered except my hair and make up on my special day. She nailed the inspo pics of both hair style and make up, she gave me extra tips and tricks to keep things in check for when it came time for pictures, and having her there even just as an old friend put the nerves at ease. If you’re looking for someone to do an incredible job on both hair and make up, make you laugh, and make you feel like nothing else and no one else matters aside from you looking gorgeous on your special day, choose Sarah.

Hi! Thanks for checking out our portfolio! We are a husband and wife team and we are so passionate about love and weddings.

We have photographed in almost every New England state and have photographed destination weddings as far as South Carolina and Michigan. Besides wedding photography, we love spending time with our two sons, our two cats and our dog. We love spending time together and traveling. Our dream is to bring the people part of our family on a European tour one day!

Melanie has such a passion for weddings and it shines through in her work! She took our engagement and wedding photos and we absolutely love them. Not everything went perfectly smoothly on either day (torrential rain on our engagement shoot day is one example) and Melanie remained calm, cool, and collected. She is patient, flexible, and a total joy to be around. Working together was a really fun experience and she brought our very specific vision for our photos (especially the engagement shoot) to life. Our photos even got featured on a blog or two, which I was so thrilled about! I highly recommend working with Melanie for your special occasions!!
