Awarded Best of Zola
This is the easiest part of your wedding planning. PICK THEM. Of all aspects of the wedding, the photographer was one of our highest priorities. We combed the internet researching photographers that would capture our wedding in a very specific, lovely, meanful and not cheesy way. We did what felt like days of research and found Forged In the North through a recommendation from another photographer who highly regarded their style and ease in the field. FIN is punctual, professional, kind, lovely to be around and bananas talented. I have bullied two close friends into using them and they were also thrilled with their work. Both of my sisters used them as well and the love and beautiful photos continues. I cannot recommend them enough. Also, spring for the video if you can, worth every penny.

Storyteller Co Documentary Wedding Photo & Video Super 8mm 

4.2

  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves Middle Island, NY

Storyteller Co is a wedding photography and videography team, specializing in capturing real wedding memories with intention and ease. From engagement soirées and anniversary dinners to welcome parties and full weekend wedding celebrations, every story is told with honesty, artistry, and care. Blending digital imagery with 35mm film, medium format, Polaroids, and Super 8 motion film, their work feels at once nostalgic and vividly present — the kind of imagery that lingers for a lifetime.

If you’re debating between documentary-style photography and a more traditional approach, go with documentary and more importantly, hire Kayla and Zoey. These two are true artists with an incredible eye for detail. They photographed both our engagement and wedding, and their creative vision blew us away. We’re big film lovers, so when we saw their work on Instagram, including Super 8/16mm film, 35mm, and Polaroid, we instantly knew we had to book them, even though our wedding was nearly two years out. From our first meeting for the engagement shoot, Kayla and Zoey made us feel completely at ease. By the time our wedding day came around, it felt like we had invited two friends to capture our day. They brought so much energy and were fully present to capture every detail, big and small. Our only initial hesitation was that they don’t use shot lists. But in all honesty, you don’t need one when your photographers have such a strong instinct for capturing genuine moments and meaningful connections. We still got our family photos since we had some adamant family members, but the photos we’ll cherish forever were the candid ones: the laughter, the tears, and all the little in-between moments that made our day special. If their stunning work on their website and Instagram hasn’t convinced you yet, their delivery SPEED will. We received a generous sneak peek within 24 hours, tons of film and video deliverables within the week, and the full gallery of nearly 2,000 digital and film photos and videos WITH RAWs just two weeks after the wedding (we were only promised at least 800). We didn’t even get over our wedding high yet and they delivered the entire day’s worth of memories for us to re-live it all and feel that rush again! We could go on and on about how amazing they are. Kayla and Zoey, we hope you continue to have a passion for what you do because you guys truly have a gift. If you're lucky enough to work with them, you’ll understand exactly what we mean. We hope they continue to share their passion because the world needs more of what they create.

Cover Story Entertainment (as featured in all the leading and best publications all over New England and beyond as well as TV shows) was established by Chris Troxell, when he graduated from Berklee College of Music with a performance degree and a passion for perfection. Since the initial launch, CSE has expanded their entertainment and event services, offering clients the ease of single vendor coordination with the benefit of access to our prestigious performers, photographers, and videographers. A 12-year winner of Knot’s Best of Weddings and 13-year winner of Couples’ Choice Awards, CSE is among the BEST of NEW ENGLAND

Wedding advice: hire Cover Story Entertainment! We worked with CSE for our July wedding. We went with the ceremony package, 6-piece band as well as their uplighting and photo booth services. Our experience with CSE from start to finish was 10/10. Chris and Elena are incredibly organized, communicative, and responsive. They always answered all of our questions (and I asked many!) Alec, Alex, Savannah, and the rest of the band members rocked it all night. One of the first things guests commented on about our wedding was how amazing the band was. One of our guests commented that they wish they could cancel their DJ and fly CSE to their wedding in Portugal because they loved them so much. Extremely talented musicians for an awesome price, which make a huge difference when wedding planning. When we reflect on our wedding day, Cover Story is a huge part of what made it such a memorable night. -MK AJ Dunne

When you hire Rick Lash Photography, you're hiring me, Rick. I've been a professional wedding photographer since 2012 and I still love what I do more than I did the day before. I'm here to make your wedding day better. How do I do this? By being thoughtful, professional, and precise. What's this mean? I'm going to walk through your day several times with you before we get there. We're going to plan how I should capture it without getting in your way. I want you to enjoy your day as much as possible while I'm able to fulfill my role to the best of my abilities. I'm also here to make your memories better. That's what my photography is for.

I hired Rick to photograph a family gathering to celebrate a 150th anniversary event. Rick's ability to capture moments when family members were talking, laughing, hugging, and sharing special glances is one of his true talents. The photographs reveal personalities and emotions, and as we look at the photographs we keep saying "that's so her/him!".

Local Lore Farm & Floral

  • Florist
  • Serves Middle Island, NY

Local Lore (formerly VDL Brothers) began as a farm with a single grower dreaming of providing locally grown, beautiful flowers. Now, we are bringing the produce of that farm to couples who are looking for fresh florals designed with a romantic, whimsical touch. We love to create soft, flowing bouquets, nature inspired arches, creative statement pieces and installations. We give each of our couples a high level of attention to detail, and dedicate our time to two events per month.

Awarded Best of Zola
Sonja is INCREDIBLE! I can’t speak highly enough about her—she went above and beyond for our wedding. From the start, she understood my vision, and we stayed perfectly aligned throughout the planning process. When we began designing the florals, Sonja presented her inspiration board, and to my surprise, it included the exact same image I had independently chosen for my own board—a detail I hadn’t shared with her! Her eye for design and ability to bring a vision to life are unmatched, and her passion for her work shines through in the most beautiful final product. I didn’t know much about flowers, but I found myself genuinely excited as she described the blooms she selected for my bouquet. On the wedding day, it was so comforting to work with someone I trusted completely to execute my vision. Sonja was extremely communicative, incredibly talented, and genuinely kind—I cannot recommend her highly enough!

Hi there! I’m an on site pro makeup artist located in Connecticut, but travel all over the east coast & internationally if need be. I’m also someone who would love to make your wedding morning even more special in preparation for your big day! Hablo español!

I had a wonderful experience working with Marielly from Make Me Glamorous for my wedding day. Her communication was always timely, thorough, and extremely organized, which put me at ease throughout the planning process. The quality of her work was truly exceptional - the makeup artist, Marielly, was a true perfectionist and ensured that my entire bridal party of 8 women looked impeccable. She was so receptive to our individual style preferences and created flawless looks for each of us. Marielly went above and beyond, not just meeting, but exceeding my (admittedly high) expectations. My makeup stayed perfect for over 15 hours, through all the photos, hugs, tears, and dancing. I would trust Marielly and the entire Make Me Glamorous team with my beauty needs again in a heartbeat.

You’ve seen wedding bands before. But you’ve never seen one like us. Our wedding nights are, in a word, unforgettable. We specialize in epic dance hits, teary-eyed singalongs, and everything in between. Book us for your event and you'll get our award-winning Boston Wedding Band & DJ combo, PLUS our professional sound and stage lighting system at one simple rate, with absolutely NO overtime charges. We travel all over New England and beyond, so when you’re ready for our industry-leading talent and a game-changing event package all at one affordable wedding band price, we’re ready to celebrate with you.

We are still on a high from the most fun night of our lives all thanks to BeachNights band, Chris and DJ Connor!!! If you want to have music at your wedding that everyone will be talking about for years to come, book BeachNights for your reception and the DJ combo for your other music needs (ceremony, cocktail hour, afterparty). Booking BeachNights for all our music needs was the best decision we made for our wedding day. BeachNights far exceeded our expectations. Chris is so professional, organized, and easy to work with. They have so much experience in all types of venues; you will be glad you have a band who knows exactly what they need to do to put on a seamless performance. They keep the music process worry-free so you can focus on other aspects of wedding planning. A piece of unsolicited advice if I may, book BeachNights for everything: ceremony, cocktail hour, reception, afterparty. It was so much easier being able to talk to ONE person and coordinate all music through ONE group rather than having 4 music vendors involved in the planning process. They take time to learn about you as a couple, your music wants and needs, likes and dislikes so that every single song is exactly what you want and how you pictured your music on your wedding day. THANK YOU Chris and team for making our wedding dreams come true!

BEST WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER IN THE GAME!!!! There is no need to keep searching for photographers. Siobhan is the best for any event! There are no words to describe how excellent Siobhan is, both with her work and as a person. Not only is she talented, organized, and professional, but she is also personable and made us feel like we have been friends for years. My husband and I first met Siobhan for our engagement shoot. We were nervous to be in front of the camera and worried we would look awkward. Siobhan made us feel so comfortable, and our pictures were AWESOME! My mom and sister also surprised me with Siobhan as my photographer for my bridal shower. Thank god they did! From detail shots to portraits with friends and family to all of the candid moments- Siobhan captured it all! Siobhan kept all lines of communication open as the wedding day approached. She had us fill out documents to update her on wedding details, family portraits, group pictures, and any “must-have” pictures we wanted to capture. Siobhan also shared a list of helpful suggestions and items to start putting together for detailed shots. She went above and beyond to put together a timeline of the day and helped put my mind at ease during the last few weeks of planning. Thank god we had Siobhan on the day of the wedding! We were married on a golf course, and the grounds manager told us we needed to wait to take pictures on the course because it would start pouring. Siobhan quickly took out her phone to look at the radar and insisted we go out on the golf course. Our pictures are beautiful— full of Sun and Smiles. No other photographer would have fought for us to get those pictures!!! She kept our bridal party in line and made sure we followed the exact timeline we had planned together. I did not have to worry about anything with her by my side. Siobhan sent us our edited “sneak peaks”… THE NEXT DAY!!! Our whole gallery was ready within one month of our wedding day. She captured everything! We are OBSESSED and couldn’t wait to share them with our families. We can’t recommend Siobhan enough! You NEED her as your photographer!

Awarded Best of Zola
It is hard to put into words the tremendous gratitude I feel for Christina and her team with Lovelace Designs. We had our wedding at the Basketball Hall of Fame in Springfield, MA – a non-conventional space that very rarely holds weddings. There were countless unique aspects of this space we had to consider while planning the event, and it is no exaggeration that Christina executed everything perfectly. In addition to her amazing skills as an event coordinator, she is a kind and friendly person who supported me through all the unforeseen challenges associated with planning your wedding. Christina consistently went above and beyond what was contractually required. One example of this excellent service occurred when we were securing a pipe & drape vendor for our ceremony. Christina actually drove out to Holyoke MA to see the pipe and drape in person since this was a new vendor she had not previously worked with. I am so thankful she took that trip as we realized that vendor could not execute what we envisioned. After describing her concerns to me, she immediately presented me with a solution in the form of another vendor who was able to provide us with exactly what we needed for our space. This is truly just one example of the hundreds of occasions Christina’s customer service was far beyond what we could’ve expected. From the first phone call I had with Christina, I knew that she would be pleasant to work with and up for the challenge. As time went on, I developed a profound appreciation for both her fabulous taste and her special ability to help me take simple ideas and create a seamless theme and elegant design. She was so wonderful to work with, my grandmother hired her to assist with my bridal shower and my mother-in-law also hired her to coordinate the 170-person rehearsal dinner the night before our wedding! Over the past year, Lovelace Design became a beloved part of our celebrations and Christina became an extended member of our family. I look forward to using Christina again for future occasions and truly cannot express my gratitude for all her help, compassion, and skillset!

After fifteen years in theatre and television production, Kate O’Donnell Diaz discovered a love for planning events but wanted to do so with a different approach from what other planners were taking. Kate desired to help couples cultivate weddings that truly reflected them and not just what bridal magazines, their future mother-in-law or high school frenemy said they just HAD to do.

I like to find beauty in the balance between the shadows and the light. They are rarely inseparable. They are complex and totally opposite and yet they can not live without the other. Just like real connection. What is real is beautiful. Only love is real. Your wedding day is important. To you. To your families. To me. And I don’t take it lightly. I understand that you’ve never done this before and you may not even know where to start! Don’t worry- I got you!

Sam was the first vendor we booked. From the moment I saw her photos I knew I absolutely needed her for our day. From our very first call, there was an instant connection and I knew she was going to be so much more than my wedding photographer. We just spoke the same language. Throughout the entire planning process she was a guiding light, helping us with the timeline and prioritizing how we wanted the day to feel. On the day itself, she kept everything on even ahead of schedule and worked expertly around the rain! She kept me calm, protected my space, and allowed us to be fully present with our people. There was no painful posing or forced smiles, only genuine joy and captured experience. Sam is worth her weight in GOLD. One month later, people are still telling me how much they loved her. If you can get Sam, book her and don't look back. I truly could not have imagined our wedding day without her!

We were so lucky to have someone recommend Lilysh to us for our wedding florals in the Catskills. Although I had a vision for what I wanted the flowers to look like, I am certainly not a flower connoisseur, so wanted to find a professional who I could trust to understand and execute my vision and Liliya was the perfect person to do just that. Her timing and communications were perfect, Including plenty of mockups and vision boards during our preliminary meetings, and continued conversations leading up to the big day. Plus - I love that she works with in season/local blooms, in addition to other sustainability efforts. Photo Credit: The Lovewigs
