My husband and I recently got married September 2023 at Hotel Providence in Rhode Island. Planning a wedding was one of the hardest things I ever had to do in my life. Finding the perfect vendor for each part of your wedding is hard. I spent many many days privately messaging people and trying to see who fits what I need for this day. I came down to the DJ. I found Josh of D and J entertainment. I read all his positive reviews and decided to give him a call. He without hesitation answered all my questions and drove from Massachusetts to Rhode Island to meet with us. Josh hands down is one of the coolest people you can talk to. He is very honest but in a good way. He lets you know was popular with weddings now and helps you out his spin on it. Josh’ company has amazing pricing. They are able to accommodate all weddings. With so much you have to pay for on this day it’s nice paying someone and feeling like your money is actually going to be used well with him. They arrived hours before the ceremony to set up. The hotel loved the company too and how polite they were. Josh came prepared with all the music we requested to hear that day. From the minute we walked down the isle to when everyone left. Josh kept playing amazing music. All night I wasn’t let down once by the song choice. In some areas the venue messed up on a few things. Example the cake cutting and first dance. The hotel really didn’t nail timing so josh Took complete control of the wedding and saved it truly. He made sure my cake cutting and first dance were memorable because the hotel slipped with this. Nothing like a DJ who saves the day too. The best part of it all while DJing Josh found time to take so many photos. He wasn’t asked or required to do so. He took it upon himself to take more professional photos for us. That’s what I call above and beyond. Couldn’t believe he went that far out of his way for us. Thank You josh and all of d and J entertainment. You made the Soares wedding the biggest success. We will never forget you or your amazing spirit and drive to make others day unforgettable.

The New Bedford Whaling Museum was an exceptional venue for our wedding. Their communication throughout the planning process was great - the staff were readily available, super helpful, and made sure all our questions were answered promptly. The venue itself was beautiful, clean, and the perfect size for our 133 guests. The only minor inconvenience was that we were not able to drop off our decor the night before the wedding, and I had to coordinate with friends to bring it on the day of since our ceremony was in Rhode Island at 3pm. The Whaling Museum needs to communicate that with the catering company because they only allow certain catering companies. Come up with a better plan. Overall a great venue!

Becky was amazing from start to finish. We got the sapphire package. This was eight hours of photography and videography a full length video and 3-5 sneak peeks within 72 hours of wedding day. The engagement photos went off amazing. We were so excited for our wedding photos. Wedding day came on point. Becky and her team were phenomenal. They did a couple pose shots. They did a lot of candid. We did some nerdy Star Wars themed photos and everywhere I looked. There was a photographer or Mac who is doing a video anytime. I saw something that I wanted captured if somebody wasn’t already getting it they were immediately on it the quality of photos we got back for our sneak peek(156 photos btw with more to come!) was breathtaking.

Weddings are performance. You practice, you prepare, you dress up, and you tell a story. Your love story. I was a Musical Theatre major, and this makes me the perfect conduit to tell your love story in a cohesive and creative way. The way it was meant to be told. I started working in a portrait studio in 2008, and shot my first wedding in 2009. It was pretty obvious I was meant to capture these events and help translate them into art. I haven't stopped since. I am truly honored to be able to shape these memories for my couples, and consider it the most important part of my job.

Colleen was an incredible help planning our day from start to finish. She is fun and bubbly while also being organized and IN CHARGE on wedding day. We had to change locations for formal portraits as cocktail hour began, and she had us moved and back into the flow of things in minutes. What an incredible talent she is!

The Villa is the first venue that my now-husband and I visited when we were looking for a place to host our wedding. From the very beginning, the Saphire Event Group staff at The Villa were unbelievably knowledgeable and helpful, answering all of our questions even before we picked them as our venue. Once we picked the date and the wedding got closer, we were paired with our event producer, Daniella Cimino. Daniella was nothing short of exceptional throughout our whole planning process. She made sure that all of our questions were answered, that we felt confident in the timeline of our day, and made sure to go over even the smallest of details to make sure that nothing was missed. We truly cannot thank Daniella and the event staff at The Villa enough for their professionalism, attention to detail, and hard work to ensure our day was picture-perfect. The food was incredible, our guests are still raving about all of the unique options and how great their entrees were. We would absolutely recommend working with this venue, their team, and Daniella to anyone who is considering this venue for their special day.

What if your photos actually looked and felt like you? Picture yourself 10 years from now on your wedding anniversary looking back at your wedding album with tears welling up in your eyes as you relive your day. Your wedding should not feel like a performance. Let go of boring wedding traditions, think outside of the box and create something unique that has never been done before. Whatever the perfect day looks like for you, why shouldn’t that be your wedding day? I am more than your wedding photographer, I am your guide, biggest fan, and the curator of your love story, I will also be the one tearing up from behind my lens.

Danielle is not only an extremely talented photographer, but also a joy to work with. She was one of the first and easiest decisions my husband and I made when planning our wedding - her photos are spectacular, she is easy to work with, and we couldn't be happier with the results. Prior to our engagement shoot we were able to get to know Danielle and see how much she cares about her career and getting to know her clients. My husband is not a huge fan of being in front of the camera, but Danielle ensured he felt comfortable and relaxed. We knew exactly what to expect for the day of our wedding, which went seamlessly thanks to her expertise and professionalism. Danielle captured special moments of the two of us alone, but also ensured that we spent the bulk of our wedding present with our family and friends. Our wedding photos capture the story of our day and are so incredibly special to us - we have received compliments already and we love them so, so much. Danielle is an excellent choice when it comes to creative, magical, and intimate wedding photography.

I can not recommend Jillian enough. She is easy to work with, kind, gentle, very knowledgeable, creative, flexible, and extremely supportive. We used a dingy boat as our "arbor". Jillian was creative and extremely supportive in figuring out how to affix the flowers to the boat. Additionally, when I decided to do cake centerpieces, Jillian was flexible with changing the plan to bud vases. She recommended adding greenery to the table which brought the whole look together. Not to mention that the flowers she sources last so long!! Over a week and a half after the wedding the flowers looked as good as day 1!

Awarded Best of Zola
From our initial facetime with Kelsey, to our engagement shoot, to our wedding day, she was an absolute pleasure to work with. I had a phone call with Kelsey 1 week before the wedding just so she could triple check we were all on the same page about wedding day. She created a tailored day of schedule for us which did not feel rushed. We always felt heard by Kelsey about how we envisioned the day. She gave us space but was still able to capture magical moments. She had such a calming presence during what can be a chaotic day and made us feel confident and our best during our portraits. Kelsey's second photographer Elyse who was working with her was also wonderful. She has a romantic, documentary style which appears effortless but still gives instruction on how to pose during portraits. She also got our sneak peaks to us in record time and was able to provide a generous amount of sneak peak photos just 2 days after our wedding. She estimated our full wedding gallery would take 8-10 weeks but we were pleasantly surprised when our wedding gallery arrived within 7 weeks and on my birthday! What a pleasant surprise and the wedding gallery was tailored, comprehensive and not overwhelming to go through. Our favorites ended up being from the sneak peaks speaking to how well Kelsey was able to comb through all of the photos and pick the best ones. We can't recommend Kelsey enough if you want a timeless, romantic documentary style photographer.

Everything they put together was stunning and we received so, so many compliments on the flowers! It was exactly what we wanted. They were so thoughtful, communicative, and helped to capture our vision for the big day with beautiful arrangements. They even took the time to scope out our venue with us in order to best advise us on number of arrangements and the best options.

They were always friendly and welcoming, and said yes to all of my questions or requests. The Barker House team truly contributed to making our special day perfect. I’d recommend them 1,000/10.

Hey everyone! My name is Kadasia! I started professionally working as a makeup artist in 2020! I’ve always loved makeup, and how it makes me feel, and love the opportunity to share that with others! I’ve made men and women look and feel their best on various occasions, from birthdays and photo shoots, to weddings and public appearances! As a mother of 2, I understand the importance of self care and feeling confident about yourself! I believe in inclusivity and equality and that everyone deserves to feel their best!

Kadasia was very professional, and very quick with her work while still maintaining quality. She also worked very well with our 4 year old flower girl. She did my hair and makeup exactly as I envisioned it and I couldn’t have been happier with the outcome.

We had the pleasure of working with Berry Photos for our wedding, and we couldn’t be happier with our experience. Our photographer, Keith, was absolutely fantastic. He traveled from Massachusetts to our wedding in South Windsor Connecticut and captured the day beautifully, despite our large wedding party! Keith was prompt, professional, and incredibly friendly, putting everyone at ease throughout the day. The photos he took were stunning and truly captured the spirit and emotion of our wedding. Thanks to his talent, we now have a gorgeous wedding album—crafted in Venice—that we look at with our kids each anniversary and will treasure for a lifetime. We are so grateful to Keith and Berry Photos for helping us preserve such special memories. Highly recommend!

Hi! My name is Faith Donahue. I'm a creator from New Hampshire, living in Massachusetts. With a background in graphic design and photography, I decided to start my own business in April 2021. I absolutely love working with people and ensuring they capture their precious memories inside of beautiful images.

I absolutely love to travel and I'm always down to travel for your wedding wherever it may be. I really look forward to working with and getting to know you!

Faith put my husband and me at ease from the first meeting. We went with her right away because of her transparency with prices, flexibility with inclusions/packages, and willingness to coach us through the process. She did not disappoint! The engagement session photos she took of us were stunning. Then her support throughout the process of writing the timeline, working with our coordinator and other vendors, and her efficiency in getting our photos and album back to us were outstanding. Our love is forever memoralized in gorgeous photos thanks to Faith's talent, kindness, and professionalism!

Please reach out via Special day by K website HI EVERYONE! My mother was the first photographer in the family (30+ years in photography); she was my mentor, and my best friend… She recently passed due to cancer in late 2021. I've learned so much from her it’s indescribable. I’ve also have had the honor to be mentored at a young age by other acclaimed photographers and directors. Since childhood, I found that with photography, I could get to know people and at the same time capture emotions through images. Being able to translate feeling into an image is and will always be my lifelong goal. Multi published and award-winning photographer.

Awarded Best of Zola
From the moment we first spoke with Alec from Special Day by Klevecka, we knew we had found our perfect wedding photographer. He is a strong communicator and went above and beyond to help alleviate any worries or stress we had throughout the planning process. His work is electric and modern, yet maintains a timeless and classic style - a beautiful pairing. Alec became a family friend the minute he arrived, making everyone in the bridal party and our family feel beautiful and welcomed. He took the time to capture all the little moments throughout the day, and the experience from our engagement photos to the wedding day was smooth and fun, not uncomfortable or awkward at all. We are in awe of our wedding gallery and are so grateful for Alec's hard work - he is officially part of the family now! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, Alec.

If you’re looking for a scenic wedding venue on the water with amazing food, easy communication, and seamless coordination, The Lakehouse is it! Almost a month later and we have not stopped receiving compliments about our wedding day. We got married in early November, so there wasn’t much foliage on the trees, but that did not take away any of the beauty of this venue! We lucked out with weather and had a gorgeous outdoor ceremony in front of the lake. The transition from our ceremony to cocktail hour to the reception was flawless and incredibly well-organized. The venue itself is breathtaking with its large windows, offering stunning views and a layout that allowed for an easy and natural flow throughout the day. There are also SO MANY photo ops, so even if weather didn’t cooperate, we would have had gorgeous photos no matter what! The food was nothing short of amazing! All of our guests, even our most high-maintenance ones, were highly impressed from our passed hors d’oeuvres, to our piping hot dinner. They LOVED the cookies & milk station, as well as our late-night french fry bar! I had been dreaming about this day for as long as I can remember, and I am super type-a, so I have been planning every detail for awhile! It was important to me that certain details were executed the way I had envisioned them. We were assigned Victoria as our Event Producer about 8 months prior to our wedding. She gave us the best advice and suggestions throughout the planning process, which is appreciated when you have so many decisions to make! We had a large wedding of 180 guests, as well as an 8-piece band, so it was important to us to have a large dance floor. Victoria put together the perfect floor plan that allowed us to dance the night away! On the day of our wedding, she setup all of our décor the exact way we envisioned it, and then some! We were so happy to have her there, and she was equally excited to be there for us. We truly did not have to lift a finger once we got to the venue! Our Event Manager, Aubre, kept everything running smoothly behind-the-scenes on our wedding day to the point where we did not have to worry about a thing. Our Wedding Attendant, Emma, was always right there when we needed her! She carried my bouquet or drink, bustled my dress, and even made sure we had and ate our appetizers, dinner, and dessert! These 3 women were lifesavers, and we could not have gotten through the day without them! They were so kind, thoughtful, attentive, and truly went above and beyond to make sure us and our guests were happy and taken care of. We couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful, stress-free experience, and we are so grateful to The Lakehouse and Saphire Event Group team for making our wedding day so perfect and unforgettable!
