Hey! I'm Ashlee, the filmmaker behind The Heartfelt Narrative. I'm based in New Bedford and have been filming weddings across New England since 2017. I'm hands-off by design. No posing, no directing, and no turning your day into a film set. I fade into the background so you can be fully present, and I catch what matters most: every word of your vows, full toasts, your family on the dance floor, and the little moments you didn't even notice. Honestly, I'm awkward on camera too, so I get it if you're nervous. Most of my couples say they forgot I was there. Collections start at $2,900. I'd love to hear about your day!

Awarded Best of Zola
“The Heartfelt Narrative was a fantastic choice for our wedding videography. Their communication was quick and responsive, whether by email or phone, which put us at ease throughout the planning process. On the day of the wedding, their team blended seamlessly into the background, allowing them to capture all the special moments beautifully. The final video they delivered was truly excellent - it perfectly encapsulated the joy and love of our celebration. We are thrilled with the professional quality of their work and highly recommend The Heartfelt Narrative to any couple looking for exceptional wedding videography.”

Hi, I’m Amy! I’m a wedding planner and coordinator who genuinely believes your wedding should feel like YOU, not like a copy and paste Pinterest board. I’m passionate about the little details, the big emotions, and making sure you can actually be present for your day. I’ve been in the event world for years and have been called the “Mary Poppins of weddings” because I come prepared for just about anything. I’ll cry at your vows, fan-girl over your wedding look, and quietly handle the behind-the-scenes chaos so you can soak up every damn second. I’m fully insured, experienced, detail-obsessed, and absolutely love what I do.

“I was on the fence on hiring a planner and let me just say, I am soooo thankful I chose to do so. Amy was amazing to work with and made my day so much easier as I did not have to worry about anything. We discussed where and how I wanted the decorations and she executed it so perfectly, it was exactly how I imagined. She even came in clutch multiple times with bobby pins when I decided I no longer wanted my front hair pieces out as well as double sided sticky patches to hold my lightweight memorial items down on the table as it was an outside event & rainy. I am so grateful for her taking so much stress off my shoulders!!”

“Our August 2026 wedding at Merrill's on the Waterfront was incredible! From our first inquiry and visit, to probably hundreds of emails, questions, and updates in between, Victoria was the best coordinator anyone could ask for. Her responsiveness, communication, knowledge, and enthusiasm made every single question go answered and every detail was executed exactly as we had hoped. I don't think you could find a venue with a more response and helpful coordinator than Victoria! We went with the full buyout option and are so happy with how the flow and structure of the day went, with plenty of space for our guests to mingle, dance, and have a great time. With nearly all guests coming in from out of town, the location with the hotel right across the street and so many things to do downtown in walking distance (plus waterfront views of course) made Merrill's the perfect choices for us. Hands down the best wedding venue in New Bedford!”

“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.

Hello I'm Samantha, and I'm the passionate artist behind the lens at Miranda Photo Co . For the past six years, I've dedicated myself to capturing authentic and soulful photography through thoughtfully composed portraits and photojournalistic storytelling.

“A friend of mine noticed Sam's photos on instagram and recommended that I check her out. I did and loved her style, so when my husband and I got married just before Halloween this year we hired Sam for our photos. We're so glad that we did. She and her husband were so easy to work with and made us both comfortable on such a busy day, not to mention dealing with rescheduling issues around COVID. I might have been nervous to hire a photographer from far away (we're in PA and she is in Massachusetts), but Sam immediately put us at ease and we're thrilled we took a chance!”

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!”

“I honestly don’t even know where to begin. Our experience with The Lakehouse—especially with Daniella—was nothing short of incredible. From the very start, when we were just debating whether to choose them as our venue, they were beyond helpful in finding a date and time that worked best for my now-husband and me. We're from Massachusetts but currently living in Arizona, so you'd think planning a wedding from across the country would be difficult. Not with Daniella. She went above and beyond to make sure I felt like I was getting the full red carpet experience despite the distance. She was always available to hop on a call, pulled strings behind the scenes to make everything perfect, and honestly felt more like a best friend throughout the entire process. I seriously begged her to just join the party at one point! If you’re on the fence about choosing The Lakehouse—do it. It’s worth every single penny. I could list a million things that went wrong during the overall planning process and even on the wedding day, but none of it had anything to do with Saphire Event Group. I also want to give a huge shoutout to Aubre and Cortney. While I didn’t work with them as closely as I did with Daniella, I met them the morning of the wedding and they instantly made me feel comfortable and welcomed. They advocated for me when I needed it, provided reassurance, and made me feel like I was their top priority the entire day. And yes—it rained on my wedding day. But I loved this venue so much that being inside didn’t even faze me. The transition from the outdoor setup to the indoor ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception was absolutely seamless. I honestly don’t know how this team operates with such perfection, but I’m telling you—they do. Thank you all for making me feel so supported and at home during one of the most vulnerable times in my life. And Daniella—a huge thank you for all your care, support, and empathy during the MAJOR bumps in the road. I truly don’t know what my wedding day would’ve looked like without you, I probably would've convinced Bryan top elope instead. One hundred time over, thank you SOO much Daniella, you're made for this. Your humanity went a long way for me and its because of you my day was perfect. LOVE YOU ALL!!! ps.. I'd like to add how attentive the servers and bartenders were. I saw them very little, however, when I did encounter them they were super kind and there to do one thing - amazing customer service. I only heard positive comments about EVERY staff member at The Lakehouse. I also cannot forget the chief, I was so overwhelmed by guest raving how top tier the food was. Thank you all for delivering the absolute best experience to our family and friend... and vendors!”

“Brendan is the absolute best!!! His communication was quick and efficient when we first started the process of looking for a DJ. We looked no further once Brendan gave us his details. Our guests told us that they absolutely “loved our DJ” and we couldn’t agree more!! My main wish was to have everyone on the dance floor all night and thanks to Brendan’s playlist, our guests were dancing all night long. My dad worked with Brendan to come up with a mashup of songs that meant a lot to us from my childhood for the father/bride dance. The mashup had smooth transitions and it was very specially made. Brendan was conscious of our song requests and made our vision come to life from walkout songs to parent dances, group dances, cake cutting song, to final song of the night. The phone app that Brendan uses to organize your night is easy to use and allows you to personalize your night to absolute perfection as you prepare for the day. We selected the photo-booth package as well and the pictures came out phenomenal. The photos were of the highest quality and it is something we’ll have forever to cherish the night and our guests.

“We knew Cover Story was the perfect choice for our wedding from our very first call with Chris. Chris and Elena made the entire planning process clear and easy from start to finish. They brought their expertise and guidance exactly when we needed it, while still giving us plenty of room for creative input. The whole collaboration felt natural and seamless. They made us feel totally safe asking all of our questions and took care of everything, working with our venue effortlessly. The performers on the day were phenomenal, and our guests are still talking about it! Their talent was incredible, and they were kind, fun, and professional to work with. Our ceremony guitarist learned our entrance songs and performed them beautifully. Our special dances were played from mp3 and were timed perfectly. Even though we honestly didn't give them much direction for timing, they just nailed it! And then the party! Our family and friends love to dance, and the band kept the energy high all night long. They even learned a couple of extra songs for us that sounded amazing. Their talent is honestly unreal. They definitely were supposed to take more breaks than they did, but they just kept playing, and even gave us an encore. After the wedding, we got to chat with some of the band members, and they were all so kind and genuinely cool people. The entertainment really shapes the overall atmosphere of a wedding, and because of Cover Story, our wedding day was perfect. We'd recommend Cover Story for any event, hands down!”

​Based out of the South Coast area in Massachusetts. I'm a wife and a mama of 3 beautiful girls! Also, I'm a graduate of the Elizabeth Grady School of Esthetics. I educate my clients on their concerns, whether it would be about colors that would compliment their skin or how to apply a brow product. I am very passionate at being a makeup artist! My clients are my strive. Hearing your feed back is very important to me, it leaves me room for improvement and makes me work harder to making your experience special. Enhancing a persons features is great but inner beauty has no price.

“Erica was a pleasure to work with and made me look and feel beautiful on my wedding day. She’s kind, talented and knowledgeable in her art. I look forward to hopefully being lucky enough to have my makeup done by her again!”

Your wedding is not a performance. It's the way you look at each other when no one's watching. Your hand finding theirs without thinking. My couples care more about what’s real than what looks good on a grid. They want gorgeous photos but also want them to mean something. The couples I work with have depth. Their stories have weight. They want someone behind the lens who sees them. Not just how they look, but who they are. Presence over performance. That's the closest I can get to naming it.

“My wife and I were so thankful that we chose Danielle as our wedding photographer. She is highly skilled, organized, and very easy to work with. She was an invaluable resource for us throughout the wedding process. In the months leading up to our wedding, she was like a wedding planner to us, guiding us through our itinerary, answering our questions, and asking important questions to help make our big day flow as smoothly as possible. On our wedding day itself, she put us both at ease and was very flexible when we decided to make a few last-minute switches. Most importantly, she helped capture so many amazing memories with her beautiful photos. We would highly recommend Danielle and Moon Rising Photography.”

Hey, I’m Britt! I’m a New England wedding photographer for couples who care more about meaningful moments than picture-perfect poses. I believe your wedding photos should feel like YOU. Bringing you back to the butterflies, belly laughs, and quiet in-betweens. My approach is warm, down-to-earth, and rooted in connection. Whether you’re exchanging vows surrounded by a handful of your favorite people (+ fur babies), or sharing a first dance under the stars, I’ll focus on capturing the moments that truly matter. If this sounds like your vibe, let’s connect. I’d love to hear all about what you’re dreaming up!

It's always a joy to work with kind and thoughtful professionals and Britt is no exception. We hope to work with her again in the future!”
