Ali's communication was always timely, thorough, and friendly, putting us at ease throughout the entire planning process.

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!

My husband is my second photographer, so we come as a photo team! Just like you, I have felt awkward in front of the camera. I’ve had photos taken of me that I didn’t like. When you go on a session with me, I will not only make you feel comfortable, but I will make sure you look good! I will give you prompts to keep you moving so you look and feel natural and comfortable. I’m sorry but there are some angles, and poses that are not flattering for everyone. Like, please don’t take a photo of me from below! Hello double chin! What I’m saying is, I Got You!

We can't say enough good things about Shane! From our very first conversation, I knew he was the perfect fit for our wedding. He was the first (and only) DJ we interviewed. He was easy to talk to and truly passionate about what he does. After our pre-wedding planning meeting, I remember thinking, "I nailed this vendor!" lol. On wedding day, he provided music for our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception, and even created a custom version of my aisle song by blending two tracks I loved! He kept everything running smoothly, handled all announcements effortlessly, read the room perfectly, and kept the vibe exactly where it needed to be all night long. We also rented his digital photobooth, which was a huge hit. It came with all photo accessories, and there was always a line every time I looked over. Out of all our vendors, Shane was hands-down our favorite. We thoroughly enjoyed working with him and couldn’t be happier with the role he played in making our day so memorable. If you're looking for a DJ who truly cares and delivers an unforgettable experience, Shane is your guy!

Your wedding day is one of the biggest days of your life! You want to feel beautiful, confident and naturally flawless. The Stately Rose Beauty Studio has a team of talented and trusted hair and makeup professionals, ready to create your ideal wedding look.

Awarded Best of Zola
From start to finish, working with The Stately Rose team was a pleasure. From my initial conversation with Johanna about my vision for my look, I could tell this was the right salon for me and my girls. Her careful attention to detail and genuine care for me as a potential client impressed me. Throughout the process, Yoli, the bridal coordinator, responded to all of my questions promptly and cheerfully. Marielly and Janelle made me feel so comfortable and confident at my trial and were open and responsive to feedback and follow-up questions I had about my own look as well as questions my girls wanted to ask. On my wedding day, my bridesmaids, mom, and I got ready at the pink salon. The space is bright, airy, and full of cute spots for photos. Marielly and Janelle gave each of my girls the same VIP treatment they gave me at my trial and they kept us on time to ensure the rest of the day went smoothly. My group ranged widely in terms of needs (we had hair that was curly, straight, thick, and thin and girls who ranged from wearing little to no makeup regularly to girls who regularly go full glam and wanted bright and colorful looks), and each girl ended up with a look that was perfect for them! Our hair and makeup lasted all night long! While the final product was impressive, what stands out the most to me about working with The Stately Rose was how they made me feel. Every question or concern I had was treated as important (no matter how small) in the lead-up to the day. In the salon, Marielly and Janelle created a positive, fun, relaxed, and empowering environment. They were the ultimate hype-women all morning and they really set the tone for the day moving forward. It was especially meaningful to me how much care our team took in accommodating health and safety concerns among my party; requests we made to keep those with compromised immune systems or allergies comfortable and safe were made without hesitation. We all left the salon to start the rest of the busy and stressful day feeling like our best selves. I could not have asked for a better glam team and I’d recommend The Stately Rose to any bride-to-be without hesitation!

I'm obsessed with Charlene! She was a dream to work with. She brought such professionalism to our hectic event. We were planning a wedding at a personal property, meaning we had to supply every single vendor and she handled everything amazingly. She wrangled the vendors prior to the day of and she helped me keep my cool during the stress of the morning. You can tell she's a pro at this! There were times I felt a little underwater in terms of managing an event I had no experience with, and her demeanor was so calming and she handled any last minute things.

The day of, her process was so smooth and seamless - we felt so comfortable around her and she vibed PERFECTLY with our photo team.

Would (and already have) highly recommend Amanda to anyone getting married. You will not regret it!

Hey, I'm Mary! It's nice to meet you. Summing up who I am in an "about me" is always difficult. What you must know: (1) I'm a nerd. If you want to talk video games, LOTR or Doctor Who, we HAVE to sit down for a bourbon or a coffee. (2) Yes, I will be out on that dance floor with you snapping away while joining in on the fun. And (3), while I'm a photographer first, supporting you during the planning process feels crucial to me - from building a timeline to having your back any way I can. Woman/LGBTQIA+ Owned

From the moment we booked MJC IMAGE, Mary was incredibly communicative and friendly. She did both our engagement shoot and wedding and detailed everything clearly and worked with us to find the right package for our needs. She went above and beyond just photographing our wedding - she played coordinator and was always there to make sure my husband and I were taken care of. Mary is not only a great photographer, but she took something we were dreading, pictures, and made the experience enjoyable. She has a calming presence and was great to work with throughout our special day. We are thrilled with the beautiful photos she captured that we will cherish forever.

I am a Connecticut-based wedding and portrait photographer obsessed with candid moments, real emotion, and the connections between human beings. I strive to capture life as we actually live it: full of beauty and roughness, joy and struggle, extravagance and simplicity. When I photograph you, I’m not thinking about getting likes on social media. I’m thinking about what will make your heart grow three times its size. I’m thinking about what will make you ugly-cry, looking back. I’m thinking about you seeing how awesome and truly loved you are.

Awarded Best of Zola
My husband I decided to elope, planning the whole event in a week. It was important to me to get great photos to share with the friends and family who wouldn't be with us on the day. As soon as I saw Cate Barry's portfolio, especially with the candid photos, I knew that she was the right person to capture the true spirit of the day. Luckily, she was able to squeeze us into her calendar, and our preliminary meetings with Cate were fantastic: she made sure she understood our priorities—super open to who we are and what we care about—and she acted as friend, therapist, and wedding expert in a very frantic time. She even recommended a fantastic officiant who was exactly our speed. On the day, the three of us met up for some outdoor photos before the ceremony, and while I was afraid my husband and I might be awkward or stiff, Cate put us at ease immediately, and we were smiling with natural poses in no time. Then at the venue, Cate both contributed to and captured the joyful, relaxed atmosphere of the day.  We got our photos in record time, and even when we first flicked through the images on my phone over pizza, we could immediately tell Cate had memorialized the magic of the day, from happy tears to spontaneous jumping up and down with our witnesses. It means a lot to have wonderful pictures to share with our loved ones, and we would work with Cate again in a heartbeat.

The Music Boutique was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. From the very beginning, Scott was extremely helpful and responsive, and always providing us with great ideas, suggestions, and guidance to make our day special. We had a duo playing for our ceremony and during the cocktail hour and then we had a small 3 person band playing for our reception. And it was the perfect amount of people. We had spoken to some other bands and they all kept saying we need some big band for the reception, but since we were having less than 100 people at the wedding, we didn’t think it made sense to have like a 10 person band, it just seemed like it would overwhelm the whole wedding. And we knew we wanted a band component since my father plays guitar and I had a feeling would want to play a song at some point. Then we spoke with Scott, he seemed to understand our vision of having a small band. He loved the idea of my father playing a song, and made suggestions on when was the perfect time for him to play, and even laughed along with our idea of playing “September” by Earth, Wind, and Fire, over and over again, since we were getting married on “the 21st night of September” (we did not do this)! The day of the band was amazing! They even took the time to learn our first dance song, which was a fairly unknown track, and played it beautifully, and surprised us with playing it. Since we thought it was just going to be a recorded version of the song. That was very special to us! And they were more than happy to let my dad play his song to us. Overall, the band's performance was lively and engaging, and they kept our guests dancing all night long. We couldn't have asked for a better band to help make our wedding celebration so memorable, and couldn’t have done it with Scott!

When I was looking for floral vendors for my July 2024 wedding in Block Island, I came across Ayla’s Instagram, and I knew immediately I had to work with her. I fell in love with the whimsical, natural, English-garden vibe of her florals, and I just thought she was the coolest person. From the first conversation we had, it felt like she “got” me, suggesting flowers, designs, and concepts better than I could possibly articulate myself. She was incredibly thoughtful putting together multiple proposals that fit our vision and our budget. The entire planning process couldn’t have been easier because of how sweet, communicative, and easy Ayla was to work with. Cut to the wedding day, and I was honestly speechless seeing her work come to life in our tent. Ayla is an ARTIST. She created a gorgeous 65 ft table runner for our head table that was so dreamy I still think about it. The bouquets were exactly what I was looking for - natural and simple but packed a stunning punch. Then there was the tent entrance installation, which was so beautiful on its own but also so thoughtfully designed to enhance the view and setting of our venue. Multiple guests came up to me on the wedding day (and even in the weeks afterwards) commenting on how the florals were some of the most unique and beautiful they had seen. I truly could go on and on. Ayla and her amazing team at shade studio exceeded every expectation a million times over. Hands down, Ayla is the best and I couldn’t recommend her more.

That's when my DJ Mike SAVED the day along with my photographer and they basically took the coordination of placing the guests in and out of the appropriate rooms and they even helped me make a candle light outdoor ceremony look even better. Mike was exceptional, he confirmed that all the songs that were specifically requested for the ceremony and introductions were played and he went over them with me to make sure that he had them correct AND HE DID!

We had Ariana Strings at our wedding in May 2024. We had the violin and guitar duo and it was incredible! Ariana is very organized so the entire booking and planning process was a breeze. We couldn't recommend her more! They played throughout cocktail hour and the ceremony and our guests loved them as well.

I’m a storyteller. That’s what I’m here to do - document the story of one of your greatest celebrations. My work is heavily focused on the authentic, unplanned moments. My approach is observational and real, creating images that are genuine representations of you, those you love, and the space and moments you share. I create true-to-life images that will bring you back to some of your sweetest, most treasured moments for years to come. These images aren't just for you, after all - they're for the branches of your family tree that have yet to grow. For the generations to come.

Kaitlin is amazing to work with. As a photographer who has done weddings myself, I had high standards and specific requests that weeded out a lot of people during my search. Kaitlin immediately stood out to me as someone with the ability to capture the essence of a couple. As I browsed her galleries I felt like I knew the couples and their stories by the time I was done. My wife and I are very introverted, shy, and not used to being the center of attention — let alone in front of a camera. After consulting with Kaitlin it was even more clear that she was the perfect photographer for us. Kaitlin listened to our requests, asked us questions to get a better understanding of what sort of coverage we’d like, and checked in multiple times leading up to the wedding day to go over plans. On the day of, Kaitlin was incredible. She set her flash units up perfectly to give a beautiful sense of lighting to our indoor pictures. Kaitlin was quick and professional with our family formals without feeling like she was rushing anyone. We love our newlywed portraits, largely due to how natural it felt to work with her—again this was huge for us as two people who are a bit camera shy. Our reception photos are equally beautiful, she captured meaningful candid moments without feeling like she was standing between us and the moments happening around us. If you’re like my wife and me and aren’t used to being on camera, I would 100% recommend booking a practice session with Kaitlin either for engagement photos or couples’ photos. As a photographer I’m used to being behind the camera and not in front of it. She helped us feel comfortable and it also helped her see how we interact together as a couple. At no point did we feel like Kaitlin was commandeering our schedule to check off boxes on a shot-list. She was seamlessly integrated everything. Genuinely, I cannot recommend Kaitlin enough. Working with her is like having a best friend there take your wedding photos.

Hiring Ashley was easily one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. She’s bubbly, kind, and makes you feel like you’ve been friends forever. The day of our wedding went by so fast, but every single image she captured brings me back in an instant. She not only captured our love story, but captured our friends and family beautifully. Every silly moment, tender exchange and happy tear was published in our gallery — and for that, I am forever grateful. THANK YOU Ashley & Meredith, our wedding day was all the more special with your talent!

Love Knot Photography

Hi, I’m Isaac. In my world, light is everything. The cool ambient hues at dawn, hinting at what the day may bring. Golden sun rays catching particles through a tree as friends gathers to celebrate. A Cotton candy sunset peppered by patio string-lights as a DJ plays my favorite song. We all have timeless memories logged in our minds. For me, they are based in a language of light. As a wedding photographer, this deep connection to special lighting helps me produce dynamic visual stories of romance, personality and beauty.

Isaac came recommended from a friend who did their engagement and wedding photos with him. We were also fortunate to have done our proposal, engagement and wedding photos with Isaac! He is so professional and comfortable to be around. My husband and I dont usually like to take photos, because we are self conscious, but Isaac took care of us. I am so grateful we came across LoveKnot and will always highly recommend them for anyone's special occasion.

Can't recommend Rob and his team enough! They did an incredible job with our wedding. I was still noticing trees that they uplit late into the night. They hung about 10 disco balls for us which was just SO fun. They were VERY professional and prompt. Will be suggesting them to everyone we know!
