I cannot say enough about the incredible work Form & Flora did for my sister-in-law’s bridal shower. From the very beginning, she took the vision board I shared and not only brought it to life but she elevated it beyond anything I could have imagined. Every detail was perfection and truly set the tone for the entire day. Guests couldn’t stop raving about the flowers. I’m so grateful for the love and creativity Bri poured into this celebration.

Hi friends, I’m Coli! I’m based in Rhode Island but love to travel all over New England documenting epic love stories. I love all the cheesy stuff, and all of the genuine, authentic moments on a wedding day - the belly laughs, the tears, the last dance holding each other close on the dance floor. Considering me to capture your day? Let’s grab coffee!

As a wedding planner, I rely heavily on photographers to help develop and guide the timeline and assist in the entire day running smoothly. Coli did just that! From our very first meeting, she was professional, warm, and incredibly attentive to the couple's vision for the big day. On the wedding day, Coli captured every moment beautifully, from the smallest details to the biggest emotions. The photos are stunning — natural, vibrant, and full of life. Her photos tell the story of the day in a way that felt so authentic to the couple and guest experience. If you’re looking for a photographer who is both incredibly talented and genuinely lovely to work with, I highly recommend Coli!

I love music and I love playing the music everyone else loves. Playing weddings is my favorite type of event because of the diversity of people and couples I welcome to the dance floor through my thoughtful and inclusive play list. I hope you consult with me to learn how I can make this possible.

Alto Music & Entertainment was exceptional in every way for our wedding day. From the very first interaction, their communication was clear, professional, and timely. Josh, the DJ, was warm and kind throughout the entire process. The quality of their work was truly exceptional - Josh is an incredibly talented musician and public speaker who made our ceremony so special by playing live violin as I walked down the aisle and keeping our guests entertained during the reception party. His performance was nothing short of amazing, and I would choose him over and over again. If you're looking for wedding entertainment that is both professional and incredibly talented, I can't recommend Alto Music & Entertainment enough!

Weddings for me are such a perfect setting for a photographer. No two are ever alike regardless of setting or season, the variables are endless. This creates a never-ending challenge with which to grow as a visual storyteller. All while being surrounded by people experiencing the best day of their life, I can't imagine having a better job

He is super easy going and makes everything very stress free. On our wedding day, Trevor captured every moment with such creativity and skill. He always finds the perfect angles and lighting, which resulted in breathtaking photos that truly captured the essence of our special day. The entire process, from booking, engagement pics, day of and to receiving our photos, was seamless and stress-free. Trevor was super organized and took care of finding guests and whoever was on the shot list that we had given him. He was incredibly responsive, attentive to our preferences, and delivered beyond our expectations. I was super nervous for the day of the wedding and he 10000% calmed my nerves and made everyone feel so care-free. We cannot thank Trevor enough for his incredible talent, professionalism, and the beautiful way he captured the essence of our wedding.

I can't say enough about her and what she has built. I had a vision and she made it happen. The price was about the same as other bar companies. So with the cute trailer seconding as interactive decor to bring my vision to life, I could not have been more happy.

My love for cake is homegrown through countless hours spent working side by side, in the kitchen, with my grandmother. Grammie Maxine, keeper of my family, was and remains my biggest influence.

Over the past few years, baking has worked its way through my heart.

Maxine Baked has made two birthday cakes for me, a birthday cake for my significant other and my baby shower cake. Maxine Baked also made treats for the baby shower, cookies, cupcakes, cheesecakes bars, and other confections. They have all been delicious, moist and beautifully decorated. I have received so many compliments from the other partygoers. I have nothing but good things to say about Maxine Baked and definitely will be ordering more goodies in the future.

The Spring House was an absolutely spectacular location for our wedding. We were married on the back lawn since it was high season, and then moved to the patio for our reception. Both have unobstructed views of the ocean. Once the ceremony was over, servers were at the ready with our speciality drinks. The cocktail hour food was incredible. Highly recommend the raw bar option, the oysters are shucked to order. Seated dinner was even better. Our guests cannot stop raving about the wedding and the food especially. Tanya, who is the coordinator, is a total gem. She was so patient, answering every single question. I hired a day of coordinator, but Tanya took care of every detail. She was so kind and pivoted easily to accommodate me when I realized that some of our more difficult guests didn't make the correct menu choices. We have been coming to Block Island for many years and we knew we wanted to be married there. The Spring House made everything truly special. Our wedding was perfection. Multiple guests have called to tell us that they felt that it was one of the best weddings they had been to.

Tired of not seeing yourselves represented in the wedding industry? Welcome to the RTP fam - we're a husband and wife duo shooting a combination of digital, film and Polaroid photos so that your gallery will deliver all the vibes and capture your sick, nontraditional love. And because of all the time we'll spend together getting to know you and crafting the perfect photo timeline for your day, you'll feel like we're just your two best friends there to capture the moments. No matter your size, race, gender, sexual orientation or religion, we're here to hype you up as you share all your wildest wedding ideas with us!

Meaghan and Evan photographed our Halloween wedding and we couldn't imagine having anyone else! We met Meaghan and Evan last October when they shot our engagement photos. They were more than willing to trudge through our favorite park and stop at all our favorite spots to get some beautiful photos we used for our save the date. We got to get to know them a little more over at our favorite little ramen restaurant after the session and of course we were instantly sold! Meaghan was super communicative and responded to every email I sent her pretty much right away every single time. As we got closer to the wedding day, she sent an incredibly detailed questionnaire. It covered everything from our most important shots to what weird family dynamics she should be conscious of; we sincerely appreciated this level of care, especially as a queer couple with some iffy family things. When I was hiring vendors, it was extremely important to me to find vendors who were queer/queer friendly and body positive, and Meaghan checked off both boxes in spades. My wife and I both have huge body insecurities and are deeply self-conscious of photos-but Meaghan made us both feel so beautiful. I was never even aware of the parts of myself I am usually hyper aware of because Meaghan and Evan both made us feel so comfortable. We were able to laugh and feel every emotion without once worrying about how we would look in the photos. On the day of, Meaghan kept us right on track without rushing us or making us feel stressed. We were definitely running behind at points but Meaghan handled it all with grace and helped me keep my head above water the whole time. They captured every moment in such a storybook way that we are able to talk about and remember every detail of the day based on the photos. This gallery is such a keepsake and such a special reminder of the best day of our lives. Its so heartwarming to look back and see how happy we and our guests look. And my wife and I both couldn’t have asked for more stunning photos of ourselves. We both look and feel so feminine, so whimsical, so magical. She captured our authentic selves, which is what makes her photos so unique and beautiful. I can't wait to order our prints and have these photos in our home forever! Thank you, Meaghan and Evan. There's so much more I could say but I'll leave off with, we are so grateful to have had you on our day. We love our photos so much. And we can't wait to have you do another shoot for us sometime in the near future! We cannot recommend you highly enough!

My couples mean the world to me. I love hearing their stories, what makes them tick, and the things that are important to them. It’s my goal to capture them exactly the way they are; how they crack jokes, poke fun, dance together, hold one another. I’m there to capture the genuine tears, the laughs, how you just fit so well together. With directive posing, I bring out real chemistry and personalities. With my laid back vibe, I’ll ensure even the photo-heavy parts of the day are a breeze. I believe every single part of a wedding should be a blast and that every couple should be celebrated in their own unique way.

I could not have asked for a better person to capture my wedding! On our wedding day, it poured rain and I was absolutely devastated that the outdoor wedding I had been dreaming of was not happening. As I was sitting there faced with that reality, about to ruin my makeup with tears, Andrea swooped in like a superhero and genuinely made me feel like the rain was a good thing. She was the only voice of reason that made me feel like everything was still perfect. She ran around in the rain with us all day capturing the most gorgeous photos and I didn’t feel like I missed out at all. She was prepared with clear umbrellas and we actually had fun! She is also just so talented, the pictures and the saturation are just absolutely gorgeous, and not only that but she also has an absolute talent for capturing joy and movement. All my vendors have chosen to use her photos from my wedding on their websites, seriously just hire her!!!

I love capturing memories that last a lifetime. I bought my first DSLR camera as a hobby, not knowing that once I started capturing photos I would grow a passion for photography. For as long as I can remember I have a had a passion for art. Since I was a little girl I loved drawing and doing anything creative.

There are not enough words to describe how amazing each and every photo Holly snapped of us between our engagement session and wedding day photos (I attached a few of both day). She has captured some of our most special moments together and made me feel beautiful with her edits. Thank you for making our engagement and wedding special while captured on camera.

I am a director, editor, and cinematographer, who has filmed over 600 weddings, and produced content for companies like Mott, Boston College, WB Mason, Big Orange Productions, YPO and the State of RI, among many others. When not making creative videos, I love eating Mexican food, watching movies, and playing with my dogs. I also volunteer and foster for Rhode Home Rescue, a non-profit animal rescue.

Look no further, Larry is a magician! Larry arrives early, knows exactly where to set up his microphones and cameras, and magically anticipates everything that is going to happen before you even do it! Larry is peripheral physically ,yet he catches everything happening up close. Larry creatively weaves the sounds and sights of your special event into a seamless, uplifting, delightful, and very engaging film. Whether it is a highlight film or edited version of your event, Larry's video will enhance your actual original live event and include views and moments you may have missed but were worthy of remembering- You is a pro but also such a nice man- it was a pleasure to collaborate with Larry and I look forward to our next event with Larry- He delivered everything we wanted in a uber enhanced way.

After more than a decade in the wedding industry, the team prides itself on delivering high-quality and trustworthy beauty services to couples on their big day.

I had a wonderful experience with Arielle! I hired her to do my hair along with 9 bridesmaids. From the beginning, she was super responsive and easy to work with. Her prices are very reasonable and she was so attentive to listening to what everyone wanted on the wedding day. The hairstyles chosen ranged from a long, intricate braid, to a knot bun, to updos, to simple waves and she did a great job across the board! She was also just so pleasant and easy to be around on the wedding day. Personalities matter a lot the morning of and she brought a sense of calmness and joy with her. You can tell she really loves what she does.
