“Jeff was the first vendor I hired. As a fellow wedding vendor I know how important music is and he is simply the best. Our dance floor was packed all night because of him. Our families and friends have not stopped talking about how the music was the best they’ve ever heard at a wedding. He was also the easiest vendor to work with. His process leading up to the day was very organized and he responded in a timely manner with any little questions we had. We had a backyard wedding with a setup that was tricky and he handled every challenge with ease! Jeff is not only a talented DJ but is down to earth and kind person. We already miss our wedding reception!”

“Working with Jen for our October 2025 wedding was AMAZING!! From the moment we sent in an online inquiry, Jen was attentive, responsive, thoughtful, and incredibly detail oriented. She got us set up with a project planning doc immediately, and she was SO patient with us even when we were annoyingly indecisive about our vision lol. She met with us via Zoom to answer all of our questions when we were struggling to finish the document (and she is just as thorough and helpful via Zoom as she is via email). Once we placed our final order, Jen was communicative and thorough about the process of what happened next in terms of pickup, payment, etc. When we picked up our flowers, we were ASTOUNDED by how beautiful they were. I mean, we knew they would be beautiful, but truly, WOW. Aside from bouquets & boutonnieres, we also got garlands to use as centerpieces for our guests’ farmhouse tables, as well as small wooden circle magnets with a flower on top (we wood burned the j c into them ourselves) to use as favors. And they all looked incredible. An employee at our venue said that our decor was “the best she’s ever seen this place look,” and a large part of our decor was these flowers. I cannot recommend Jen and Wood and Word Blooms ENOUGH!!! PS bouquet photo is from today (1/5/26)!! The longevity is insane!”

Digital image gallery, print rights, and beautiful, physical prints included with every package. My work focuses on telling my couples’ wedding day love stories through the pictures I capture. Artwork is the goal, whether it’s a highly-stylized posed photo or a moment where a loved one is emoting.

Awarded Best of Zola
“We found Terrence very early on in our wedding process. His gallery had some of the most beautiful photos we had ever seen; some were dramatic, which is what my husband loves, others were soft, warm, and candid, which were my favorites. To find a photographer that could fit both of our styles was so exciting. Terrence’s package was over our budget, in part because we were marrying in NY, so would have to pay a travel fee. I was convinced I could find someone within budget. I searched and agonized for an additional two months. Finally, my now-husband convinced me that the photos would be the one thing from the day we would get to keep forever and we sprang for Terrence and let me tell you, both of us have agreed the extra cost was more then justified. In high heat and humidity and looming storms, Terrence did everything he could to keep us on-schedule and to get incredible photos at a venue he had never even been to. We just received our sneak peak gallery and all of us are in awe of the photos he captured. We look forward to working with Terrence in the future for other big life moments, and you should absolutely book him too - engagement shoot or wedding, Terrence will capture your moment perfectly!”

“Oh where to begin!? We truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Ashley. She has such a special eye for capturing genuine emotions and candid moments in such a beautiful way it's indescribable. And you'll also want to be best friends with her too! She's the best and such a lovable person. From the very beginning, she made us feel so comfortable (my husband is so camera shy btw lol) and she even helped me feel completely at ease about the planning process by providing examples of day-of timelines and lists of needs and not-to-forgets. I knew from one phone call with her that we weren't booking anyone else and our engagement shoot was such a sweet sneak peak for what to expect from her skills on the big day! Nothing would have prepared us for our actual wedding photos though. She and Vannity (our very skilled bonus photographer) did an incredible job capturing all the little details and specials moments. Vannity is also just as easy to love as Ashley! If you’re looking for someone who will make you feel comfortable and truly care about your experience, we cannot recommend her enough.

“Evergreen Farms was absolutely perfect for our big day! When we came for a visit we know immediately it was our place. Everything we needed in one venue! Jess was incredibly accommodating and was able to give us some wiggle room in some areas. The space is gorgeous and we got so many compliments on the venue itself.

“I can't recommend Marisa enough! I first met Marisa about a year ago while attending her fitness classes, and shortly after, I found out she did bridal hair and makeup. I immediately booked a trial, and fell in love with how it turned out! From that moment, I knew she was the one I wanted to do my wedding makeup! Marisa also brings such amazing energy to the process—she’s your biggest cheerleader and makes you feel like the best version of yourself, inside and out. She recently did makeup for me, my mom, and my bridal party for my wedding this fall, and I am still getting compliments! It was 85 degrees and humid that day, but everyone’s makeup stayed flawless from start to finish. If you want a makeup artist who will make you feel beautiful, confident, and like the most special version of yourself on your big day—Marisa is your girl!”

“Abby is a no brainer hire! Incredibly thoughtful, experienced, knowledgeable, intuitive, comprehensive, kind, and affordable! We were on a pretty tight budget so we hired Abby for her partial planning/day-of coordination and I can’t imagine what we would have done without her. I planned everything myself but as soon as she came on board, I felt so much comfort and relief knowing my wedding was in good hands and I could focus on other things. She is the definition of PRO. We had event staff bail the night before and she was able to find an amazing team of folks to fill their shoes! She ran our rehearsal like a well-oiled machine. She saw me dancing with my new husband with an empty drink in my hand and quickly swooped in to grab it; it’s the little things that tell you she’s putting you first on the most important day of your life. My entire wedding party adored her and even invited her out to the after party! If I could give her 50 stars I would. As my bridesmaids would say, QUEEN ABBY FOREVER. ️”

“Eve and Megan were incredible to work with!! I HIGHLY recommend Evermore Beauty! From the start, Eve was responsive, organized, and knowledgeable. I don’t use a lot of makeup usually, and she gave me a look that felt glamorous AND natural. I never wanted to take it off after the trial and wedding, I loved it so much! And it stayed on all day without a single worry. Eve gave me a touch up kit that I never even had to use, which was a really sweet touch. My hair was also incredible thanks to the talented Megan! She gave me so much volume, which is hard to do with my hair, and I got so many compliments! Both Eve and Megan are not only talented, but also very kind and fun! You will not regret having Evermore Beauty be a part of your big day :)”

My name is Taylor — I’m a husband, father, teacher, ocean lover, and videographer / editor based out of CT and Cape Cod. I’ve been passionate about photography for as long as I can remember, and deep down I’ve always felt that capturing moments was in some way my calling. A few years ago I began to realize that photographs — even the most compelling ones — are not able to tell an entire story. They provide a powerful glimpse, frozen in time, but even the best photographs are unable to preserve memories and emotions the way that films can.

Awarded Best of Zola
“Working with Taylor was an absolute dream from beginning to end. He was incredibly responsive, professional, and genuinely wonderful to work with throughout the entire process. From our first conversations, it was clear that he truly cared about understanding us, our relationship, and the vision we had for our wedding day. That level of thoughtfulness and intention made him stand out immediately. On the wedding day itself, Taylor went above and beyond. He was present for every important moment while somehow never feeling intrusive. His calm, kind energy made the entire day feel even more special. Knowing that he was there capturing all the little moments throughout the day really allowed us to live in the moment and not worry about making sure a memory was recorded. We initially chose Taylor based on the quality of his work online, but nothing could have prepared us for the videos we received. They are absolutely stunning!!! Watching them brings us right back to the emotions, energy, and joy of the day in a way that photos alone never could. His editing and storytelling are truly next-level — we were in tears at just the sneak peek video!! He truly captured the essence of our wedding day and all the important little details. The value Taylor provides is unmatched. Every penny was worth it, and we would make the same choice again without hesitation. Having these videos to relive such an important day is priceless, and we are endlessly grateful that we trusted Taylor to capture it all. We cannot recommend him highly enough!”
