We got married on 9/8/23 and it was the most perfect experience imaginable. Claudio was incredible and we can never thank him enough. We always felt comfortable, communication was always timely and easy, and the location speaks for itself- stunning. We had both our ceremony and reception on site with 90 guests. It was perfection. Having been born and raised in New Bedford, it was that much more special.

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.

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!

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. She was super responsive to text messages. Emails phone calls. You’ve had an amazing experience and we cannot wait to use her services for our family photos and anything in between she does everything

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 staff at the Villa went above and beyond to ensure that we had the most relaxed and beautiful wedding day ever! Wedding planning was daunting to us, so we were looking for a venue that checked a lot of boxes for us (outdoor ceremony area, alcohol, food). Having a wedding coordinator in addition to all that was SO helpful. Our coordinator Serena was very responsive with the many questions I emailed her, and took care of coordinating with all of our outside vendors. Our day-of event managers Julie and Dave worked so hard to make sure that my husband and I didn't have to stress or lift a finger on our big day. In addition to how beautiful the venue was, I highly recommend any of the Sapphire Event Group venues to couples who, like us, were very overwhelmed with the wedding planning process and didn't know how/where to start. They clearly have this process down to a science!!!

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.

I know you want to be a breathtaking bride with an unforgettable wedding. In order to do that you need gorgeous floral arrangements. The problem is, creating a cohesive vision for your wedding flowers on your own can be challenging. This can leave you feeling overwhelmed, and daunted by the process. I believe flowers are the silent soundtrack of your wedding, setting the mood and ambiance like nothing else can. That’s why I dedicate my 25 years of experience to help brides create personalized arrangements that ensure their wedding is a unique masterpiece.

I loved using flowers by the station and felt the staff was so kind and communicative from the moment we first started to plan for my wedding! I felt that after I gave them a vision of what I wanted at the consultation they completely read my mind. I loved my flowers so much that I had them dried and put in a picture frame. I even dried my husband’s pocket flowers. Our bouquets and the decorations were stunning, and my mind was at ease knowing Flowers By the Station handled it all for me. Thank you Jennifer and team!!

Words almost fail to express how freaking fabulous our time with The Barker House was! We are just over 3 months married (3/27/2025) and family and friends still remark to us on just how fun and gorgeous our wedding was. A ton of that credit goes to the amazing staff at the Barker House. Right from the start of our first tour, we were treated with such kindness and respect from the Barker House team. We were immediately sold on the staff (who took such time and care chatting with us) before we even fell in love with the venue. Davis-Lynn and Lilly were our rockstars! We were lucky enough to have them with us on our wedding day. The first portion of the day I was incredibly nervous, but once I was greeted by Davis-Lynn at the front door all my worries dissipated. I knew I was in the best of hands and suddenly felt ready to have fun. Even during the dinner service, Lilly was so kind as to sew my ripped bustle behind the scenes. She was so dedicated to making sure we had the best experience. The venue is simply stunning. As two people who appreciate history and go antiquing regularly, The Barker House spoke to our personalities. The speak-easy feel of the sunken bar, fireplaces, and exposed beams are very unique. The venue is in a gorgeous area and we were glad to be by the ocean. The chef is phenomenal as the food service was top notch. Family still exclaim to us how delicious the food was (omg the short ribs perfection!). I also suggest that couples utilize The Barker House's recommended vendors. Not only was payment and interaction with them a breeze, but they were each fabulous in responsiveness and quality. Awesome Blossom, Toast To That Entertainment, and Kristen Griffin Photography were incredibly professional and they each blew us away. I could go on and on... The bottom line, if you looking for a worry free all inclusive beautiful venue and want to work with the best people, look no further than The Barker House! P.S. Brides, make sure you get a picture with your planners! My only regret is that I didn't get a picture with Lilly and Davis-Lynn!

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.

Alec was amazing throughout our whole wedding journey, he was very nice and always made sure to reach out to us to see if we had any questions for him. His responses were always quick! His editing skills are absolutely beautiful. We got our pictures and loves each and every one of them. They all came out so beautifully and were so happy to have gone through with SpecialDayByK!

THIS IS ABOUT YOU!!! That's my whole approach to the day. I'm Keith, the lead photographer and owner of Berryphotos. I've shot over 1200+ weddings over the past 15+ years and in that time I've mastered my craft and all photography styles so I can apply the best option for any given scenario. Having those skills locked-in means I can put 100% of my attention on YOU. Making sure your day runs smoothly, identifying anything that could cause stress or anxiety and preemptively addressing them so you have the best day ever.

I cannot express enough how highly I recommend Keith at Berryphotos! He was the preferred vendor at our venue, and after just one meeting, we instantly knew he was the one we wanted to book—we didn’t even meet with any other photographers. Keith’s attention to detail, genuine care, and incredible support stood out from the very beginning. We honestly felt like we didn’t even need to hire a coordinator or a videographer because he helped us plan our day so it flowed seamlessly. We were a little nervous about not having a videographer, but after seeing our photos, we realized we didn’t need one—Keith captured every moment so beautifully that we truly relive our wedding day each time we look at them. His communication is outstanding. Anytime I had a question or worry, he replied right away, scheduled Zoom calls, and even came over to go over our wedding details in person. My husband and I had never had professional photos taken before, so we were a bit anxious before our engagement shoot, but within five minutes, Keith made us feel completely comfortable. The photos turned out absolutely breathtaking, filled with genuine moments of us just being ourselves. If you’re looking for a photographer who not only delivers stunning photos but also makes the entire experience effortless and enjoyable, Keith at Berryphotos is the one.

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 spend most of my days enjoying the company of my husband, our dog, Winston, and our newest addition, our little baby boy! 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!

The Lakehouse was the perfect venue for our wedding day. From the very beginning, the team at The Lakehouse was friendly, punctual, and responsive in their communication. On the day of, their bridal attendant made me feel like I didn't have to think about a single thing - she took care of every detail seamlessly. The venue itself is absolutely stunning and gorgeous, transporting you to another world. Growing up in Halifax, I never thought I'd feel like I was anywhere but my small hometown, but The Lakehouse managed to make it feel like we were somewhere completely new and special.

I shot my first wedding in 2004, and from that moment on, I was hooked! It's an honor to witness and capture such an important moment in the lives of my couples. Before specializing in weddings, I focused on fine art and night photography. I earned a BFA degree in studio art from the University of Notre Dame (Go Irish!), and a MFA degree in imaging arts/photography from Rochester Institute of Technology. I taught black and white, digital, alternative process and studio photography at the high school, university and adult education levels. I love both the planned events and the unintentional, quiet moments that make a wedding unique!

We booked Kristin Griffin Photography for our recent September wedding. Our photographers for day of, Jess and Caroline were fabulous! They were both incredibly professional, organized, and warm. They made sure we not only got our full shot list, but also photos we hadn't thought to ask for. Their easy demeanor was felt across the bridal party and several of our guests and family commented on how great they were. Easy planning process, and felt listened to and reassured through each step of the process. Would absolutely recommend!
