Upbeat storytelling. Free-form and candid. Specializing in short form vignette wedding films and classic full length documentary edits. I have a journalistic approach to capturing the day with an uptempo editing style. No posing. No staging. Just the real moments of your wedding day.

Chad videoed my sister in laws wedding as well as my own. My husband and I booked Chad two years prior to our wedding. After seeing my sister in laws video I knew Chad would be the right fit for us! He responded quickly to all of our emails. Chad made sure to talk with us multiple times prior to our wedding to make sure he knew exactly what to capture. We received our teaser days after our wedding and our full videos 12 weeks after. We had NO IDEA what music to pick and let Chad choose the music for us, the music he picked was perfect! Highly recommend Chad and his wife!

  • Photographer

Hi, I'm Theresa, a wedding photographer inspired by nature's beauty and the stories we all hope to pass down. Along with my amazing team of photographers (plus a videographer!), our work emphasizes natural prompts and real emotions to create incredible imagery that captures the vibrant energy of wedding celebrations. We’re set apart by the fact that we know how to maximize shotlists so our couples can skip the photo marathons and enjoy their own cocktail hour (which is rare, I might add).

Awarded Best of Zola
Teresa is awesome! She provides amazing customer service from the time you meet her through the time she delivers your digital album (3-4 weeks after your wedding day) and then beyond that was you order prints and create albums. I “clicked” with Teresa instantly the day we met and she held my husband and my hands through the entire planning process leading up to the wedding. She even shot a mini-engagement shoot in the week before the wedding so that my husband could meet her and she could see us interact together. We were completely confident that our day would go smoothly photography-wise and boy, did it ever! Once in full "game day" mode on our wedding day, Teresa balanced being friendly and accommodating to our wedding party and guests with doing the necessary crowd control to get the shots we asked her to, plus so many others! Her full day coverage allowed us to have pictures from both of our getting ready locations, our first look and then the ceremony and reception at our venue: four locations on a tight timeline which meant over 10 hours of shooting. After our big day, we were psyched to see our sneak preview pop up in our inbox less than 24 hours after the wedding with 100+ photos! Even better, our full album came through at around 3 weeks post-wedding. From what I've heard from other wedding couples, this is exceptional turnaround time compared to the majority of the industry. The photos themselves are nothing short of amazing! Teresa was able to capture the happiness and love we felt on our day and looking through the photos transported us right back to each of the special moments of our day. From our intimate first look to the formal portraits, to photos of our DIY wedding details, to the dance floor candids and our sparkler send off, and everything in between.... WOW! We recommend Teresa to anyone and everyone we can!

Sebastian Photography is a dynamic husband and wife team, specializing in wedding and lifestyle photography. Their artistic approach fuses elements of fashion, color, composition and style. They believe that what makes a great photographer is not just the ability to operate a camera, but rather the ability to anticipate life as it unfolds. To see light and shadow as they change, and the ability to capture authentic moments that evoke emotion, and tell your story.

We couldn’t be happier with the incredible work Phyllis & Sebastian did for our wedding. From the stunning photos to the beautifully crafted video by Gio, they captured every moment of our special day with such care and artistry. Phyllis and Sebastian made us feel completely at ease throughout the day, and their attention to detail was remarkable. Every photo feels so genuine and full of emotion, perfectly telling the story of our wedding. Gio’s video brought it all to life, allowing us to relive those unforgettable moments over and over again. The team was professional, organized, and such a joy to work with. They truly listened to our vision and delivered beyond what we could have imagined. Their ability to seamlessly capture candid, heartfelt moments alongside breathtaking portraits is a testament to their talent. If you’re looking for a photography and videography team that will preserve your memories with unmatched creativity and heart, we can’t recommend Phyllis, Sebastian, and Gio enough.

BLOOM. Creative Floral & Events is a boutique floral and event design studio located in Northeast, CT, serving counties in Connecticut, Massachusetts and Rhode Island. We create seasonal, garden-inspired floral arrangements, using only the freshest flowers and unique blooms and ingredients responsibly sourced from local flower farmers and gardens from all over the world. Drawing inspiration from your ideas, your unique style, and the venue you have chosen, we work closely with you and the team of professionals you have hired to implement your special day to help you achieve, big and small, the wedding of your dreams.

Tammie made our wedding a dream. We love flowers and knew we wanted them to be a showstopper during our big day, and from our very first meeting we knew that Tammie would create organic coastal garden magic for us. After describing our likes and dislikes and reviewing a moodboard with Tammie, she came back with a visual proposal that completely understood the vision we had, and the actual execution was even better than we could have expected. From my beautiful bouquet, to the ceremony arrangements, and the stunner of a floral chandelier, everything was absolutely perfect. However, nothing could really top the reception tables — it was like my Pinterest board come to life. The organic feeling growing arrangements, bud vases, ikebanas, and tapers that complimented our tablecloths were *chefs kiss*. I’m still not over everything! To top it all off, Tammie is so kind, warm, and lovely — she made dreaming up flowers one of the best and most enjoyable parts of this process. Thank you for everything, Tammie!

We’re Erin and Peter and we started this company in 2012. Since then we’ve quit our jobs and photographed 275+ weddings all over the east coast (but we’re willing to travel anywhere!) and we couldn’t love it more! Our photography style is cozy, natural and organic, and we love to focus on the in-between moments and the genuine emotions. We don’t pose people but instead direct them to do things that will bring out their real personalities and reactions which help us to get the most authentic photos.

TLDR: Book them now!! We knew Erin & Peter from my sister's wedding, and we were in love with how natural their photos looked and how easy they were to work with. For our own wedding, we were so lucky to book them! They were the most intuitive people we worked with all day, picking up on all of the day's emotions and logistics flawlessly while helping us arrange ourselves for the photos we knew we would cherish for a lifetime. They even helped arrange my dress and veil, and never flinched in our muggy, buggy atmosphere. They were fun, funny, helpful, and in short, a dream to work with. Their talent is superb - we can't recommend them highly enough!

Farm Couture Flowers

  • Starts at $5,000
  • Serves Middle Haddam, CT

Farm Couture Flowers is the design studio at Muddy Feet Flower Farm. I grow over 100 varieties of cut flowers from April through November and incorporate them into lush garden-style arrangements and bouquets.

Where to begin? Kristin is an artist. In the age of insane wedding Pinterest boards and over-planning every detail, we gladly handed the floral design and aesthetics over to Kristin. She uses her own flowers from her farm, so she's both local and sustainable, and if you're interested in supporting a small, woman-owned business, this is the way to go. We trusted her direction and expertise and it was the best decision we could have made. When we walked into our venue on the day-of, we were both floored. It was so much better than I could have even imagined; we received so many sincere compliments from guests. Our wedding photographer said he thought they were the best wedding flowers he'd seen. The floral design was original, organic, and creative, and the greenery was gorgeous. If you choose Kristin as your florist, trust her to lead the way. It'll be better than anything you could have imagined!

My love for photography began over a decade ago when a good friend lent me his camera. I quickly discovered my passion for capturing the beauty of candid moments and the world around me. Outside of photographing couples, I enjoy downhill mountain biking, traveling, nature & landscape photography, hiking, and playing guitar. I live in East Hampton, Connecticut with my beautiful wife (Meg), our two dogs (Tucker & Diamond), and cat (Grace).

Mike was up to our adventurous requests. Photographing our engagement photos, intimate ceremony, and celebration ceremony he did it all! Including braving the cold for our outdoor winter ceremony. Mike was very flexible with our requests, and guided us when we needed it. He was able to get our pictures we wanted and did not consume the whole night! He fit right in on the dance floor with his camera's in hand! Thank you Mike!

  • Serves Middle Haddam, CT

When i was young, my dream was to be a filmmaker and musician. The art of visual storytelling was captivating to me. When the right image, message, and music collide, it’s pure magic. After high school i moved across the country to pursue a music career. 4 albums, 13 countries, and 100’s of shows later i found myself wanting to be behind the camera, rather than in front. Filmmaking gave me the chance to express myself, while capturing once in a lifetime moments. I had once again fallen in love with storytelling. It’s never JUST a photo or video clip. It’s real people, real emotion, seen through a perspective that otherwise wouldn’t exist.

Jenny and Josh were everything we could dream of and then more! From the very first conversation, Jenny made me feel so comfortable. They are so professional and so talented. Their response time is fast and they answered every question I had. Our engagement photos and wedding photos are so beautiful. They take their time and make sure every single detail is perfect. Our wedding video absolute blew us away. Everyone we showed said they had never seen a wedding video quite like this before. They are, without a doubt, worth the investment.

The minute we booked our wedding location in Mystic. We knew we wanted Yumiko & the Hana Floral team to do our flowers. We had seen her stuff on Instagram and knew she would knock it out of the park... and boyyyy did they! We wanted our flowers to stand out and when we showed Yumiko a photo of a really cool flower we saw online she immediately took it and ran. The flower ended up being a King Ice Protea... it was the centerpiece of all of the bouquets, our incredible wedding ceremony arch, as well as the table runner for our head table of 50! Everyone was ranting and raving about our flowers at the wedding and still to this day. They were so unique and set the stage for the most perfect day of our lives. Some of our friends even traveled back to Los Angeles with them the day after! We could not be more grateful to the Hana team for everything that they did for us. Not to mention, we planned our wedding from 3,000 miles away and Yumiko and the team were there for us every step of the way. Our flowers are still living on in our gorgeous photos and we could not have asked for anything more. Thank you Team HANA!

I'm a floral designer taking a kind—not just nice—New England approach: seasonally driven, thoughtful, and attuned to the moment. With support from my small team, we blend local blooms and curated market finds to create florals that are refined, textured, and personal. We embrace trends when they feel right but prioritize timeless designs you’ll love for years. We thrive with clients who value trust and collaboration—together, we bring your vision to life with care and creativity. I’m honest and thoughtful about guiding you to make the most of your flower budget—always with clarity and intention.

Jakkelyn Iris was my absolute favorite vendor that I worked with for my wedding. I am a total perfectionist, who had a very clear idea for what I wanted, and Jakkie was able to bring it all to life. She rolled with all the punches I gave her- crazy ideas about installing trees, panicked emails about color decisions, creating an additional bridesmaid bouquet on the spot because I miscounted, and more. She is not just an incredibly talented florist, but a wonderful person as well. I looked forward to all our meetings because they were fun. On the day of my wedding when she brought me my bouquet, I cried! I am recommending her to all my friends in the area because she is truly the best!

My perfect day is sitting outside in the autumn air drinking espresso while listening to a podcast or reading The Secret, again. The show Outlander is a guilty pleasure though Brian and I are always quoting New Girl and Bob’s Burgers. I love planning adventures, thrillers, football Sundays, wholesome conversation, cozy vibes and markets.

Ashley is someone who is so genuine, kind and understanding. She knows what it takes to capture the most beautiful photos that leave you remembering your day so vividly for a lifetime.

I have been lucky to work with Jessica several times. As a fellow artist that loves the play of light and shade, the sunlight streaming through the trees, the true colors of nature, the way the breeze blows a lock of hair as a groom kisses his bride, I love to see her photography. As a makeup artist I’m also interested in seeing the photos of the faces of the bridal party so I can make sure my craft translates well in pictures, and appreciate when a photographer shares them with me. I still remember a photo from a wedding that was simply the couple seated at their sweetheart table at dinner and photographed from behind through a rustic grey barn door; you couldn’t see their faces but it was so visually beautiful with the grey rough wood juxtaposed with the back of the elegant lace gown as they were holding hands during the reception I still haven’t forgotten it. It was a moment no one else would ever have seen and perhaps the couple may have other forgotten, except Jessica captured that little moment in time. I feel that a couple will treasure the beautiful naturally posed photos she does, but will also especially remember their joy of their wedding day with a photo like that. Jessica is personable, kind, punctual and helps the couples to enjoy the photo taking session. I can’t wait to work with her again because she is so fun, you don’t have to wait a long time for the edited photos, and her work is gorgeous!
