I am animated, honest and fun! I am a mom, wife, teacher, avid runner and overall a very passionate person. I love my family, anything nautical and really enjoy a great glass of bubbly at the end of a long day! I'd love to meet you!

Erica came highly recommended by our wedding planners, Consilium Events, and she nailed it! Her energy and humorous approach were very well received by everyone, especially the bridal party. Erica was flexible and highly communicative and helped us stay organized and on task all weekend so that we could strike the right balance between having fun and capturing important moments. We would 100% without reservation recommend Erica to anyone with photography needs, regardless of the occasion. One thing that we really liked was that Erica is a teacher and a mom... she knows how to multi-task especially when people have low attention spans!! Great job Erica and the Keane Eye team!!!!

  • Officiant
  • Offers 10 ceremony types
  • Starts at $650
  • Offer

Clergy for modern couples who want a ceremony that feels personal, meaningful, and emotionally unforgettable. As an ordained interfaith minister, holistic somatic practitioner, I bring a unique blend of ceremony, emotional presence, spiritual inclusivity, and calming support to your wedding day. I serve couples who may not want a traditional religious ceremony, but still want the moment to feel sacred, intentional, warm and deeply connected. I create ceremonies that honor your love story, your values, your energy, and the emotional experience you want to share with your guests. My approach is modern, inclusive, heartfelt, and grounded.

Reverend Julie is a truly amazing wedding officiant and will provide you with the sweetest service and insightful guidance in building a ceremony to last you forever. We were traveling across country to our wedding location, so all of our planning time with Julie was done remotely over phone or video call - and she was always so accommodating and helpful in this process. As a largely secular couple, we didn’t have a lot of presumptions or direction for what our wedding ceremony could or should be - and Julie was an excellent guide and gave great structure to helping us find our way in that space. She made excellent and insightful suggestions about what we may want to include or subjects she would speak to - and in the end she provided us with the most amazing ceremony, catered exactly to our own needs and personalities and we are so grateful for having chosen Julie to do this service for us. We will never forget it. We highly, highly recommend Reverend Julie for any service, to celebrate a special day in your love or life.

We had the pleasure of meeting Jennifer and other staff members at the Heritage Hotel for our wedding. Jennifer was always available to answer any questions I had along the way and gave us a tour of the venue multiple times. We had our rehearsal dinner there and they set up the room beautifully. The food for both the rehearsal and wedding were delicious and there was something for everyone to enjoy. They even offer centerpieces for the tables and to set up and break down decor and assign you a maitre de for the day of that is always getting you drinks and making sure you're comfortable. The venue is so beautiful and made for the best pictures! It's also super convenient that the ceremony, reception, after party, and hotel are all in the same location so there's no need to worry about traveling. The only down fall was that we lost power the night before the wedding for a couple hours and was surprised they didn't have a generator. But would definitely recommend having your wedding at the Heritage as it's a beautiful place with professional staff who are guaranteed to make you feel so important on your special day.

  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style

Oh, hey! I’m Dana. I am a free-spirit with a true love for connection and raw emotion. I’ve been known to get caught up in the experience and have a passion for storytelling, so my photography is candid and emotive. I’m also a sucker for a gorgeous, natural backdrop so there’s nothing better than capturing an honest moment with a killer landscape. ​ When I don’t have a camera in my hand or a client on the therapy couch, I’m busy being a Mom to twins and wife to my partner, Brandi. You can also find me decorating our home or researching our next spontaneous adventure.

We have been using Dana for about 2 years now, and she has photographed myself and family from fall portraits to a surprise vow renewals and continuously leaves us speechless with every ‘unveiling’. Dana is easy to work with. Her sessions are effortless and honestly most times we all can’t stop laughing. Her eye for detail is spot on and her creativity in the moment is so much fun to be apart of. I highly recommend using Dana for your photography use because you will not be disappointed!

Modern Strings was a part of my daughter’s wedding. We chose a trio to play for the ceremony and cocktail hour. It was exquisite. So elegant and professional. We moved from outside to inside due to the heat and the musicians broke down and set up quickly. What a lovely addition to this special day.

The granddaughter of two gardeners, I have always felt a connection to the earth through the soil. When someone brings flowers into a room, something changes...an energy, an excitement! I love being able to bring that kind of beauty into peoples lives. I'm a small-town girl who enjoys anything that involves working with my hands from cooking to knitting. I'm a total animal lover (partial to dogs), a die-hard Grey's Anatomy fan, and I take my martinis extra dirty. When I'm not flowering in our studio in Milford, Connecticut, I'm mommin' to three amazing little boys (our dog Pippa and cat, Galaxy).

Awarded Best of Zola
Our wedding was held at Saltwater Farm Vineyard in June 2024. Kate was such a pleasure to work with and really brought our floral vision to life! I appreciated her free excel planning tools and how responsive she was from our first inquiry. After our first phone call, I realized that she is incredibly easy-going and down to earth, in addition to being well-organized. These are qualities you want in your wedding vendors. I have always loved florals and she helped me craft a vision that stayed within our budget. Our theme was coastal vineyard - I wanted the vibe to be loose & romantic without veering too rustic. She found this balance perfectly! On our wedding day, she arrived early and took care of everything quietly without a hitch! I didn't have to worry about a thing. I can't recommend Fountainhead Floral enough!

From our first conversation, Ms. Ellie made us feel completely at ease with her welcoming approach and genuine interest in our vision. She listened carefully to what mattered most to us and wove our faith into every detail of the ceremony, from the prayers to the specific words she chose. What really stood out was how authentic and heartfelt everything felt—it was clear she put thought into creating a moment that honored us and gave God the praise we wanted. Ms. Ellie's communication throughout the planning process was efficient and organized, yet she never lost sight of the personal touches that made our day special. She was kind and caring every step of the way, and on our wedding day she delivered a ceremony that felt straight from our hearts. We couldn't have asked for a better officiant to help us start our marriage.

Timeless, editorial imagery with a warm, documentary approach. From the grand, luxurious details to the quiet, candid glances you share when no one’s watching, I’m there to preserve it all with intention. If you’re dreaming of wedding photos that feel both refined and deeply personal, I’d love to bring your vision to life.

Words can’t fully express how incredible Destiny and Mac are. (Mac is her soon to be husband videographer @the.flamekeepers) Not only as talented professionals, but as genuinely kind and thoughtful people. From the moment they arrived at our venue, they went above and beyond. Mac immediately began learning and writing down the names of everyone in the bridal party, while Destiny jumped in to help tidy the bridal suite to ensure every photo looked perfect. We didn’t have the most hands-on coordinator, but Destiny and Mac didn’t miss a beat. They seamlessly stepped in, kept everything on track, and made sure we captured every moment we hoped for and so many we didn’t even think to ask for. Their calm, can-do attitude and dedication to making our day special was felt by everyone. Throughout the night, guests and our wedding party couldn’t stop talking about how amazing they were. And once we saw the sneak peeks of the photos and video they shared absolutely stunning and the praise only grew louder. We are beyond grateful to have had Destiny and Mac with us on our big day. They are true professionals and even better people. Please book with them you will not regret it!!

I am a Connecticut-based wedding and portrait photographer obsessed with candid moments, real emotion, and the connections between human beings. I strive to capture life as we actually live it: full of beauty and roughness, joy and struggle, extravagance and simplicity. When I photograph you, I’m not thinking about getting likes on social media. I’m thinking about what will make your heart grow three times its size. I’m thinking about what will make you ugly-cry, looking back. I’m thinking about you seeing how awesome and truly loved you are.

Cate is simply the best, outside of just being a wonderful human, she is an extremely talented and experienced photographer. She was exactly what we needed as a wedding photographer, she captured every bit of emotion and happiness on our wedding day. She was our biggest champion day of, making the entire process stress free. She is very experienced in wedding photography and just does so much in the background to take care of every detail of the day. Her photographs are AMAZING, she somehow manages to be everywhere at once, and all her shots are just raw moments, nothing feels posed or staged and as a result you are left with beautiful photos that just showcase every emotion of the day. Honestly, I cannot recommend Cate enough, she is one of the best in the industry.

It’s truly one-of-a-kind, and our guests are still talking about how magical it felt a month later. The staff was incredible—professional, kind, and attentive to EVERY detail.

Hey there! A little background information about me. My name is Aleksandra. I am 36 years old based out of Waterbury, CT. Makeup has always been a passion of mine, ever since I was little you could find me doing my mom, little sister, and grandma's hair and makeup. I always wanted a career in the industry but never thought it was attainable. Until I reached a point in my life where I decided to take a leap of faith pack my bags and drive down to Georgia where my older sister (a master MUA who owns her own agency) lives.

Aleks and her team are so professional and easy to work with. Aleks was helpful during and after the makeup trial we had. She was very supportive when my skin was having issues and was able to provide very helpful advice when I reached out to her about it. She asked me questions about my skin care and was able to recommend some things to try to sort out my skin issues before the big day. The day of the wedding, my vision was brought to life from my hair to my makeup! My skin was glowing! And she made sure my bridesmaids loved their looks too! 10/10 would recommend!

I cannot say enough amazing things about Carlene (hair) and Trish (makeup)! From start to finish, they were absolutely incredible — professional, organized, and so easy to work with. They were completely on top of everything, making the whole getting-ready process smooth, fun, and totally stress-free. They did hair and makeup for myself, the MOB, MOH and a bridesmaid. They used such high-quality products, and it showed — my makeup looked flawless all day and all night without even needing a single touch-up. And despite some pretty reckless dancing on the dance floor, my hair stayed perfectly in place and looked amazing until the very end. It survived hugs, kisses, people stepping and tugging on my veil, and dancing. If you’re looking for a team that will make you feel confident, beautiful, and completely taken care of on your big day, look no further. I would hire them again a million times over!

As a veteran DJ with 20+ years of experience and 250+ weddings, I create sophisticated, custom music programs based on your tastes. I handle all audio logistics—from timeline planning to day-of run-of-show. Pricing: Evening Celebration ($1,900): Cocktail, Dinner, and Dancing with 2 sound stations and polished MC services. Full Day Experience ($2,500): 3 sound stations plus my battery-powered ceremony system for vows on beaches or gardens—no noisy generators. My resume includes tours in the U.S./Europe/Japan, and playing alongside artists like Drake, Calvin Harris, and LCD Soundsystem. I bring elite professionalism to every event.

As someone with a background in the events and music industry, my standards for production are incredibly high. Edwin (DJ Konsept) completely exceeded them for my wife Emily and my wedding in Montauk, NY. From our first conversation, Edwin was the consummate professional. His communication is exceptional- he is highly responsive, asked detailed questions to understand our specific vision, took careful notes, and was completely open to direction. We gave him a complex, multi-stage run-of-show, and he executed every phase flawlessly. He managed our outdoor ceremony, providing perfectly balanced mics and audio so everyone could hear our vows. He then seamlessly transitioned to setting the mood for our outdoor cocktail hour, and ultimately closed the night out by crushing a high-energy indoor afterparty. He arrived over-prepared with backup equipment and intuitively grasped the distinct musical vibe needed for each portion of the day. Technically, Edwin is a master. His beat-matching, transitions, and ability to read a room's energy are unmatched. He completely avoided the typical "cheesy" wedding tracks, weaving together exactly the right mix to keep our guests engaged. Furthermore, his pricing is incredibly fair and transparent, offering immense value for the high-end talent and peace of mind he brings to the table. If you want an incredibly talented, stress-free professional who operates with style and a cool, collected energy, you need to hire Edwin. He made our wedding day absolutely magical!

The venue had a few hiccups, but overall we had a lovely reception there. The outdoor space was the highlight - truly gorgeous for photos. Communication on coordination was a bit spotty at times, but the maître d', Sergio, was a god send and stepped in to ensure things flowed smoothly. The food was phenomenal, as well! So many of our guests shared it was the best wedding food they’d ever had. We did have both our bridal attendants provided by the venue disappear on us shortly after we arrived, which was inconvenient since we would have paid for our own attendants if we knew that would be the case. While parts of the indoor space is dated, it worked out beautifully with some creative decor. When weighing everything in, the Woodwinds was a spectacular venue!

Hi, I’m Rafael, the owner and creative behind JR Media Solutions. I believe wedding days should feel calm, joyful, and fully lived not rushed or staged. While I’m new to Zola, I’ve spent years photographing and filming weddings across Connecticut and beyond, earning over 100 five-star reviews by being dependable, organized, and genuinely invested in my couples. My approach is simple: show up prepared, stay present, and document your day honestly so you can relive it for years to come.

My fiancé and I were so nervous going into our engagement photos, but we were incredibly lucky to find Rafael. From the moment we started, he made the entire experience feel fun, comfortable, and effortless. He has such a natural way of guiding you through poses and moments that gently push you out of your comfort zone while still feeling completely authentic. When we received our photos, everyone we shared them with was absolutely blown away by how beautiful they turned out. Rafael is truly so talented. Booking him as our wedding photographer shortly after our engagement session wasn’t even a question. We wouldn’t want anyone else capturing our special day! He is incredibly accommodating, easy to work with, and genuinely listens to your ideas and vision. He made us feel supported every step of the way. We can’t recommend Rafael enough!

Lauri was fantastic to work with and we are so grateful we found her. She was a caring a nurturing presence throughout, was very receptive to our requested changes as we planned the ceremony script, and was clearly motivated by doing what would be right for us. She met with me and my fiance about four times during our wedding planning process to get to know us and modify our ceremony plan/script to what spoke most to us most as a couple. She was knowledgable about a variety of cultural traditions and helped us incorporate the Irish Hand Fasting Blessing into our ceremony, providing us with an everlasting, unique memory and memento (the handfasting chord) of our promises to each other. We received several compliments from our wedding guests about Lauri's ease and professionalism while she officiated our wedding. We highly recommend her! - Tess, May 2025 Bride, Bill Miller's Castle

Hi, it's Jenni, I am a couples and wedding photographer based in Connecticut. I love hikes and adventures, nature is my natural habitat and my biggest dream is to travel the world. I am hopeless romantic and I will probably shed a tear at every wedding I attend or photograph, so if you see me wipe a tear at your wedding no you didn't lol. I am also a dog mom and I love animals in general, my puppy means the world to me! I am a dedicated, passionate, fun and caring person and I put love in everything I do. I can't wait to work with you!

Awarded Best of Zola
Working with Jenni was an absolute dream from start to finish. She is the perfect combination of professional, passionate, and fun—and truly a master at her craft. From the moment we connected, I knew she understood exactly the aesthetic I was going for: adorable, classy, and full of warmth. She completely captured the feel I wanted for my wedding day. Throughout the entire journey, Jenni was in constant communication and made me feel so comfortable sharing my thoughts and preferences. She matched my energy right away, and it honestly made my heart warm—I instantly felt I could trust her with my vision, and she delivered in the most beautiful way. On the big day, Jenni was kind, respectful, and incredibly warm with my family and friends. She made me feel so beautiful and confident, and her presence brought such a calming, joyful vibe. And then… the sneak peeks! I audibly gasped when I saw them for the first time—then cried. The photos are exactly what I dreamed of: warm, tender, intimate, and full of love. They captured the heart of our day so perfectly. If you’re looking for someone who will not only give you gorgeous wedding photos but will also make you feel seen, heard, and cared for—Jenni is your person. It was such a pleasure working with her, and I can’t recommend her highly enough!
