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!

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.”

“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!”

“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!”

“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.

Our experience with CSE from start to finish was 10/10. Chris and Elena are incredibly organized, communicative, and responsive. They always answered all of our questions (and I asked many!) Alec, Alex, Savannah, and the rest of the band members rocked it all night. One of the first things guests commented on about our wedding was how amazing the band was. One of our guests commented that they wish they could cancel their DJ and fly CSE to their wedding in Portugal because they loved them so much. Extremely talented musicians for an awesome price, which make a huge difference when wedding planning.

Jillian was very responsive throughout the planning process, guiding us with her expertise when we were unsure exactly what we wanted. She asked thoughtful questions to understand our vision before making wonderful floral suggestions. Jillian has years of experience designing arrangements that hold up, which was crucial with our outdoor ceremony in the summer heat. The bouquets, arch arrangements and centerpieces turned out beautifully, contributing so much natural elegance to our special day. We appreciated Jillian's patience and her talent in bringing our vague floral hopes to life. Whaling City Florist is clearly an award-winning florist for good reason, delivering amazing arrangements and thoughtful service for brides and grooms.”

​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.

“From the moment we booked Moon Rising Photography, Danielle and her team were incredibly transparent and professional. They held our hand through every step of the process, and were reachable at all times leading up to the big day. Danielle even arrived the night before our wedding since she had not been to the venue before, ensuring she was fully prepared. On the day of, their attention to detail and ability to capture all the special moments was excellent. We could not be happier with the beautiful photos that now serve as cherished memories of our wedding. Moon Rising Photography's service and the quality of their work far exceeded our expectations.”

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!

Britt's communication was top-notch, and she jumped in to help with anything we needed, not just the photography. On our wedding day, Britt and Koda were a fantastic team, capturing all the special moments perfectly. Britt has such a warm, sweet personality that made us feel comfortable and at ease. We had the best time with her! Britt is more than just a photographer - she truly cares about making your wedding day perfect. I cannot recommend Britt Leigh Photography enough, they are the perfect choice for your wedding!”
