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!

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!

The DJ sets the vibe for the entire night, and wow — Alex absolutely crushed it. We've been to a lot of weddings, and it’s rare to see a dance floor packed from start to finish, but he had ours full the entire night. Every song choice, every transition, every moment flowed perfectly — from the high-energy entrance all the way through to the very last song. Alex has this incredible ability to read the room and keep the energy exactly where it should be. He made the night seamless, fun, and truly unforgettable. As a bride, I felt like I had a lot of specific requests regarding timing of certain songs for the processional, recessional, first dances, etc. He exceeded my dreams. From ceremony to cocktail hour to dinner and reception, it was truly immaculate. Our family and friends have not stopped raving about him and basically the unreal journey he took us all on through music. I also surprised my husband with a saxophonist who was completely unrelated to Alex & Unique Sounds, but they were an INSANE dynamic duo. They worked together SO WELL, which again speaks to Alex's talent. I was SO happy to have him in my corner all night - aside from the incredible music, he is so fun and great to be around. If you’re looking for a DJ, seriously, stop looking — Alex is the one. Thank you, Alex, for giving us a night we’ll never forget and keeping the party going from start to finish!

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.

Working with Jennifer and Jordan from Flowers by the Station was one of the highlights of our wedding - they were so helpful in the planning process, were amenable to changes based on our budget, and brought my vision to life on the day of. It was super easy to plan with the team with a few phone calls and a visit to see some of the flower options in person. Jordan also worked with me directly on the design of a ground arch, since I didn't have specific photos of what I was thinking, and it was absolutely stunning on the wedding day!

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!

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.

One of the best pieces of wedding advice my husband and I received in the planning process was, "make sure you love your photographer--they'll be the third member of your wedding". I cannot stress enough that Keith is that guy. Within moments of meeting him, you feel as though you've made a true and genuine friend. In our first meeting we laughed, we cried, and most importantly, we felt COMFORTABLE with him. Neither of us like pictures of ourselves and yet within the first few shots of our engagement shoot with Keith, we were relaxed and having fun. And we LOVED the pictures!!! Keith has an eye for the perfect shot and will make your dream pictures come true-- all while being respectful to ALL body types. I have always dreaded any photo other than selfies but I posted our engagement shoot pictures with pride and a confidence I haven't felt in years. When it came to the wedding, I couldn't even tell you where he was sometimes, he was so unobtrusive. Yet when you DID find him, he looked like he was having just as much fun as the rest of our guests. We've already decided he will be our family photographer as we expand our family. We STILL get compliments on our wall art we bought two years ago, and our wedding album (beautifully crafted with him by your side) sits in a primary spot in our home. If you're looking for your photographer; stop scrolling. Book Keith. It'll be one of the best choices for your wedding-- and you'll also walk away with a great new friend.

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!

WE'LL BE A GREAT FIT IF...

Working with Sofiya Luna was truly one of the best parts of our wedding! We weren’t sure if we were going to do a videographer and oh my goodness I’m so glad we did. From the beginning, Sofiya was easy to work with and a great communicator. It was really important to us today she captured the speeches and our ceremony and Sofiya made sure to ask plenty of questions during the intake so that she could understand what we were looking for and bring that to life. On the day of, Sofiya and Tim were so professional and brought a calm, cool and collective vibe to the day but with a wonderful energy that got the whole wedding party hyped up and excited. Sofiya was just lovely and so kind, and it felt like she fit right in with our group. Also, getting our teaser video 2 days after the wedding was fantastic and we cannot wait to see the full film!
