  • Videographer
  • Storytelling style
  • Serves Mystic, CT

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
I can't say enough great things about Taylor! I knew from our initial call that I wanted him on our vendor team and I couldn't be happier with my decision! His films capture the elegant and timeless vibes I was hoping for and he was an absolute joy to plan and work with. Taylor and my photographer blended seamlessly and teamed up on the big day to work their magic. Our social media reel is my favorite thing to watch now and we're so excited to see the final product! Taylor is truly gifted and I would highly recommend him to any bride!

I had the pleasure of working with Hope Lodge Venue recently as a wedding photographer and I can say they are a fantastic choice . Their communication style is incredibly responsive, helpful, and enthusiastic - they go above and beyond to ensure every detail is taken care of. Great quality of work for a the value ; the venue is open, clean, bright, and airy, creating the perfect atmosphere for a wedding or big event . One memorable example was when the staff dressed up along with the Gatsby-themed wedding, truly immersing themselves in the couple's vision. My only suggestion would be for them to potentially expand their parking area in the future, but overall, Hope Lodge Venue is an excellent option for couples seeking a beautiful, well-managed wedding venue and one they could decorate and make their own.

We couldn’t have asked for a better venue for our wedding! We wanted a venue with history, beautiful views, affordable, and only had one wedding a day -- and we got it! From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the stunning scenery and beautiful architecture. The staff was incredibly accommodating, the bartenders were so thoughtful. One brought in mint from her garden, as mojitos were my favorite drink! While there were a few moments of uncertainty and lack of communication in the planning process, it didn't take away from the magic of the day. The outdoor ceremony space was perfect, surrounded by lush greenery and gorgeous views. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about how beautiful everything was! Inside, the reception area was equally impressive, with plenty of room for dancing and celebrating. The food was absolutely delicious, and they offered a variety of options that everyone loved. The attention to detail was evident in every aspect, from the decor to the service. Overall, our experience at this venue was nothing short of magical. We feel so lucky to have chosen this place to start our new chapter together. Highly recommend it to any couple looking for the perfect and affordable wedding venue!

Hi friends! I'm a New England wedding and destination photographer based out of Connecticut. My faith is the foundation of everything apart of me. My family, friends, and my business. I wouldn’t be where I am today without God, and I pray that my clients can see the goodness of the Lord through every stage of working with me. I love hiking and finding a brewery afterward to grab a cider, strolling through a garden shop or bookstore, or catching a sunset down at the beach and having a picnic. I'm a Jesus- follower, wife to my best friend Justin, a mom to my son Jaxson, and dog mama to my girl Minnie.

Tianna is professional, creative, fun, talented and kind! We felt so comfortable when we hired her to do a couple photo shoot. We were nervous at the beginning and she made us feel safe and we were laughing by the end. We then hired her to photograph our wedding the following year. Her eye for the right time to capture a photo is phenomenal! She also has many pose ideas. She works well with small or large groups. Her edits are beautiful and she gets them done in a timely fashion. She gave us a sneak peak in the meantime and answered any questions that we asked about them. We can’t begin to thank her enough for the wonderful memories that she has captured for us. We plan to hire her again when our family grows. Highly recommend Tianna!

5 stars is not enough. Our wedding was without a doubt the most perfect event we could have ever wished for. From the beginning planning stages, Hattie, Lauren, Kelley, everyone was so incredibly responsive, helpful and answered a million questions from myself or my mom. They worked with us to ensure everything was perfect, and we could not have had a more elegant wedding without the help of the entire venue staff. From day of Rob and everyone who assisted made sure things ran so smoothly. One of our busses was delayed due to traffic (Memorial Day Weekend- no surprise there) & even with the minor inconvenience the staff made sure that things ran so smoothly that myself (the bride) and my guests really had no clue things were pushed back a tiny bit. The food was outstanding, the service was impeccable. We had our cocktail hour both inside & outside and adding a second bar was ideal. We added a sushi bar, and my guests are still talking about how delicious it was. They accommodated all of our requests with ease, and I wish I could relive the day and night over and over again. All of my vendors informed me during the planning process just how professional and wonderful the venue is, and it could not be more true. They all worked seamlessly with Riverhouse. Our personal attendants were wonderful, ensuring myself and my husband had the best day and night of our lives. Most venues do not offer suites for grooms, and I am so happy that the men were able to have their own place to relax and hangout. our bridal suite was prepared perfectly for us with champagne snacks and everything we needed. Quality service is hard to come by these days, but every single staff member working at our wedding went above and beyond to make sure my husband, myself and my guests had an incredible night. My guests are still raving weeks later about the wedding. I could not recommend this venue and the entire staff enough, get married here!!! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for the most perfect wedding!!! ️️️

Awarded Best of Zola
We hired Carin to coordinate a complex wedding with a lot of custom elements designed by us and our friends and family. She did an incredible job - our guests all told us what a great time they had, and how much they loved our choices - but the execution was all Carin. Before the wedding, she listened to what we wanted and made sure to ask us everything she needed to know. Then, as the day got close, we didn't have to worry even a bit. Carin handled it all and we were able to concentrate on the ceremony. She did a great job reading the room and figuring out the logistics at the same time, so that from arrival to ceremony to cocktail hour to dinner, to dancing, the evening had a flow that felt organic and natural. Us newlyweds and our guests barely had to think at all. But it was because of Carin's thoughtful and sharp coordination that it felt this way. She was keeping it running behind the scenes, making all the right calls as things came up, like a trusted general in the field. It's hard to express how happy we are with how it all turned out. We'll remember this wedding the rest of our lives, and we got to do it our way, but with a level of professionalism and execution we never could have achieved by ourselves. There's not a lot of coordinators who can do that - who can honor the vision entirely but put all the pieces together. Carin made it happen. (PS - we also hired Carin's partner, Jacob, as our wedding DJ - he did a great job too, reading the room, keeping the party going, and working seamlessly with Carin to keep the flow of the party. They book separately, and you could always choose your own DJ, but we recommend Jacob highly and were glad we went with him.)

Couples who value local and sustainable and want their wedding or event to reflect who they are, choose PQ Urban Farm Flowers. My designs are known for their wildflower, natural aesthetic. Though I am happy to work with any vision you have for your special day, my designs are perfect for a couple who wants a fairytale, garden, romantic, or rustic wedding. As a flower farmer and floral designer I am an expert in seasonally grown flowers, show me your look and color pallete and I will choose the perfect in season flowers. Expect a collaborative approach as I will work with you to create a floral vision that reflects your style and budget.

Having fresh local flowers in my shop is a great way to start conversations with customers and bring a different vibe to my store than the more mechanical, information seeking, technology vibe that bikes often bring in retail. Flowers break that mentality up, helping to bring a more intimate feeling to the store environment and speak more to what people get from bikes than a list of features/benefits.

I'm a 28-year-old photographer based out of South Eastern, Connecticut! I got into photography in 2019 and have been loving every second of it! When I'm not capturing memories, you can find me on some adventure with my boyfriend, or at home with our 2 Kittybrats (Loki & Cruise.. Tom Cruise)!

Hayley was the first vendor we booked for our day. We couldn't have imagined choosing anyone else to capture these moments. Hayley was so communicative and professional leading up to and during the wedding. She was flexible in resting a package that worked for us and even took time to give me an extra call to review my timeline and photo lists just to give me reassurance. Our wedding party thought she was so fun to be around and so clear with what she needed from all of us. Our gallery is absolutely beyond words stunning. We cannot stop looking at it. She gave us so so many photos and every single one is absolutely breathtaking. I recommend her to everyone I know!! Thank you, Hayley!

HELLO! My name is Sarah Barbagallo. I am a 27-year-old wife and mama to 2 sons. I have been behind the lens for as long as I can remember. Photography started out as a hobby for me, but the last 5 years has become my full-time business and I haven't looked back since!​

Sarah was the perfect photographer for the style of shots we wanted at our wedding. She was an absolute joy throughout the entire process. We worked together to create a shot list of everything we wanted to capture. The morning of, she was able to scope out the perfect angles at the property. During the wedding, she was organized and focused. Her photos of the decorations are beautiful, incorporating the depth of field effect we loved. Her photos of the wedding and wedding party came out amazing. The photo editing style was also perfect for our Fall wedding. We haven't stopped looking at the photo album. Everyone we show is blown away. We could not recommend Sarah enough. Stop searching for photographers and book her right away!

Awarded Best of Zola
Saint Clements Castle provided a beautiful venue and kind staff for our wedding day. We especially appreciated our sales coordinator, Alyssa, who was professional, fast, and clear in her communication throughout the planning process. When rain forced us to move the ceremony indoors, the team quickly adapted the art gallery for us. The servers and bridal attendants were also attentive and went above and beyond to help finish set up when our florist left early. Our guests had incredibly kind things to say about the servers, and overall we had a great experience. It was also lovely to have a place that was a one stop shop for event planning! We did lose some decor in the shuffle which was an inconvenience, and some of the instructions for set up I left were not followed (our confetti got lost, only four guests got packets, the bridal suites did not have the supplies we left for them). My husband’s family were also really upset with one of the managers on property who wouldn’t allow them to walk in a covered area and was a bit rude about it, despite an event not happening and the rain being a torrential downpour causing unsafe conditions for his elderly family to walk in. Overall we had a great experience, and would recommend the castle to anyone planning a wedding!

Full disclaimer, my husband and I both work for Connecticut Wedding Group. So, you may think this post is a tad biased, but we'd have to disagree... You see at the start of our engagement we did entertain some "obligatory" research, but, this was incredibly short lived. We came to the quick conclusion, before we even got to scheduling tours, that there's simply no way we could ever put our biggest investment in anyones hands but our own planning & culinary teams. Every weekend we see our couples share their big day with all of the most important people in their lives. A moment you only get once, and our team pours their whole hearts into making every minute pure perfection. My husband was (hands down) here for the food, while I was here so I didn't need to plan my own wedding and worry about all the logistics that my brain normally can't avoid. Our guests continue to rave. It was the best day ever, and we are so deeply grateful to our team for doing what they do. Our only regret is we can't do it again and again and again.

Hi, I’m Allison, and I’ve had the privilege of photographing weddings for over 10 years. My background with USA Gymnastics in sports photography (including the 2020, and 2024 Olympic Trials) has taught me to capture every moment with precision and artistry, making sure no detail goes unnoticed. Because of my commitment to the gymnastics season, I limit the number of weddings I take on each year. This means I can give each couple the time and attention they truly deserve, creating a personalized gallery that tells the beautiful story of their day. I’d love to work with you to capture your unforgettable moments!

We had an amazing experience with Allison for our maternity photoshoot. From start to finish, she made the session fun and relaxing. Her warm personality put us at ease, and her husband, who assisted, kept us laughing throughout, making the entire experience unforgettable. Their teamwork created a comfortable atmosphere that truly shows in the photos. The final pictures were stunning and exceeded our expectations. We are so grateful for these beautiful memories and highly recommend Allison to anyone looking for a talented, caring photographer!

We had our wedding on June 7th 2025 at Lord Thompson Manor. I cannot express enough how you should have your wedding here. Andrew, Jackie, Janice and Ted are top tier. Janice made us feel so special and throughout the day advocated for me. When the rain stopped and i wanted pictures outside, Ted went and got a leaf blower to blow away the rain so that my dress didn’t get wet. I do not say this lightly that they will forever be like family to me. They made the best day of our lives extra special. Our guests are still saying to us they can’t stop thinking about our wedding, that it was magical and the best wedding they’ve ever have ever gone to and I owe that all to Lord Thompson Manor. I will be eternally grateful for the way they made us and our wedding feel extra special. You are making a mistake if you do not book with Lord Thompson Manor.

We love weddings. We love them big and fancy or sweet and simple. We love brides who agonize over the size of their train, their pearls and their bouquets and we love brides who call up and say, “Let’s have a clambake at my dad’s beach house!” Celebrate everything—family reunions, birthdays, bridal and baby showers, anniversaries, retirement parties and just plain why-not? parties. Whether the whole clan is getting together for a long weekend or you’re having a sit down dinner for 20 just to honor some long and beautiful friendships, let us make the party that suits you.

We had a fantastic experience with Gourmet Galley Catering for our wedding. Their communication throughout the planning process was responsive, helpful and explanatory - they patiently answered all our questions and made helpful recommendations. On the big day, they went above and beyond to make sure we and all our guests were well-fed and hydrated amidst the busyness. The quality and taste of the food was fantastic - all our guests raved about it! Everything was delicious, well-presented, and clearly made from quality ingredients. We received so many compliments on the food. Gourmet Galley's exceptional service and delicious offerings were a huge contribution to making our wedding day special and memorable. We highly recommend them for any catering needs!
