Hello, My Name is Jurgen van der Pluijm WEDDING, FASHION, LIFESTYLE PHOTOGRAPHER and Artist I grew up in a multicultural family and have been exposed to two things since a young age - European Culture and African Culture As a seasoned photographer and artist, my work reflects a thoughtful exploration of the world around me.

Chad Whelan 

5.0

  • Videographer
  • Documentary style
  • Serves Stafford Springs, CT

Upbeat storytelling. Free-form and candid. Specializing in short form vignette wedding films and classic full length documentary edits. I have a journalistic approach to capturing the day with an uptempo editing style. No posing. No staging. Just the real moments of your wedding day.

Your wedding day is a day you want to remember for the rest of your life and relive over and over again after spending months planning your perfect day. We are so happy that we decided to work with Chad as he provided us with a video that we could not be happier with capturing every detail! Chad and Samantha arrived at the church early to set up and hook up the groom with a wireless mic which captured every word during the ceremony. Throughout the day, we felt like we were always on the move and Chad and Samantha were always in the best spot to capture all our moments and details. When we received our teaser trailer (like 2 days after our wedding!) we noticed so many candid moments that were captured, such as the groom casually playing with the wedding ring. And when we reviewed our final video we were so impressed with how Chad cut together the moments of our day, timed the transitions to the music perfectly, and even adjusted the speed of some moments to create artful transitions between a fast-passed song and our first slower dance. We trusted Chad to capture our special day and he did not disappoint. He was an absolute pleasure to work with and was even able to incorporate some of our wedding photos into the video and it came out amazing! Throughout the process, Chad always responded quickly via e-mail and kept us updated on his progress. He was so patient in working with us and is all about making his customers happy. Before finalizing our video, he sent us a copy of it and asked for our feedback. The video was amazing, and we couldn’t stop watching it on repeat. After taking in all the special moments, admiring Chad’s attention to detail, and enjoying how the video paired with the audio and music so perfectly and creatively, we had a few requests. We noticed that a few special moments to us were missing from the first cut, so we asked Chad if he could add it in. He responded right away and was able to update the video with no issues quickly. It’s nice to work with someone who is a true professional and has an eye for detail. We are so lucky to be able to relive our perfect day for the rest of our life with a huge smile on our faces and a happy tear once in while ! Thank you, Chad!!

Hi, I'm Theresa, a wedding photographer inspired by nature's beauty and the stories we all hope to pass down. Along with my amazing team of photographers (plus a videographer!), our work emphasizes natural prompts and real emotions to create incredible imagery that captures the vibrant energy of wedding celebrations. We’re set apart by the fact that we know how to maximize shotlists so our couples can skip the photo marathons and enjoy their own cocktail hour (which is rare, I might add).

Awarded Best of Zola
Teresa is INCREDIBLE. She is hands down the best photographer out there. From our engagement session to our wedding, Teresa was extremely communicative, answering any and all questions we had. She has this amazing energy and creativity that really shows through in the photos she takes. At our wedding, she carefully considered the light, the locations of our photos, and I can honestly say I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE every single photo from our day. The genuine happiness, the laughter, the tears- everything is so perfectly captured. Teresa is professional, and she invested her time, not only in making sure our engagement and wedding photos were great, but in Jordan and I as a couple. Her kindness, artistic talent, and ability to capture a moment perfectly solidifies her as the best photographer out there. I could not recommend her enough!

Phyllis and Sebastian made us feel completely at ease throughout the day, and their attention to detail was remarkable. Every photo feels so genuine and full of emotion, perfectly telling the story of our wedding.

BLOOM. Creative Floral & Events is a boutique floral and event design studio located in Northeast, CT, serving counties in Connecticut, Massachusetts and Rhode Island. We create seasonal, garden-inspired floral arrangements, using only the freshest flowers and unique blooms and ingredients responsibly sourced from local flower farmers and gardens from all over the world. Drawing inspiration from your ideas, your unique style, and the venue you have chosen, we work closely with you and the team of professionals you have hired to implement your special day to help you achieve, big and small, the wedding of your dreams.

Tammie made our wedding a dream. We love flowers and knew we wanted them to be a showstopper during our big day, and from our very first meeting we knew that Tammie would create organic coastal garden magic for us. After describing our likes and dislikes and reviewing a moodboard with Tammie, she came back with a visual proposal that completely understood the vision we had, and the actual execution was even better than we could have expected. From my beautiful bouquet, to the ceremony arrangements, and the stunner of a floral chandelier, everything was absolutely perfect. However, nothing could really top the reception tables — it was like my Pinterest board come to life. The organic feeling growing arrangements, bud vases, ikebanas, and tapers that complimented our tablecloths were *chefs kiss*. I’m still not over everything! To top it all off, Tammie is so kind, warm, and lovely — she made dreaming up flowers one of the best and most enjoyable parts of this process. Thank you for everything, Tammie!

We’re Erin and Peter and we started this company in 2012. Since then we’ve quit our jobs and photographed 275+ weddings all over the east coast (but we’re willing to travel anywhere!) and we couldn’t love it more! Our photography style is cozy, natural and organic, and we love to focus on the in-between moments and the genuine emotions. We don’t pose people but instead direct them to do things that will bring out their real personalities and reactions which help us to get the most authentic photos.

Erin and Peter are absolutely amazing to work with! They are such a sweet & fun couple who you just enjoy being around. They are so easy to get along with and know exactly what they’re doing- we trusted them with our day and they exceeded expectations! They make you feel comfortable and at ease on a potentially stressful day and work with you to make sure you get everything out of the day that you’re looking for. Everyone in our bridal party complimented how efficient and smooth our pictures were at the wedding. Not to mention the pictures are GORGEOUS- they are so talented at capturing natural moments, never forcing stiff or awkward posing. Would recommend them to anyone getting married!!!

Farm Couture Flowers

  • Serves Stafford Springs, CT

Farm Couture Flowers is the design studio at Muddy Feet Flower Farm. I grow over 100 varieties of cut flowers from April through November and incorporate them into lush garden-style arrangements and bouquets.

Where to begin? Kristin is an artist. In the age of insane wedding Pinterest boards and over-planning every detail, we gladly handed the floral design and aesthetics over to Kristin. She uses her own flowers from her farm, so she's both local and sustainable, and if you're interested in supporting a small, woman-owned business, this is the way to go. We trusted her direction and expertise and it was the best decision we could have made. When we walked into our venue on the day-of, we were both floored. It was so much better than I could have even imagined; we received so many sincere compliments from guests. Our wedding photographer said he thought they were the best wedding flowers he'd seen. The floral design was original, organic, and creative, and the greenery was gorgeous. If you choose Kristin as your florist, trust her to lead the way. It'll be better than anything you could have imagined!

My love for photography began over a decade ago when a good friend lent me his camera. I quickly discovered my passion for capturing the beauty of candid moments and the world around me. Outside of photographing couples, I enjoy downhill mountain biking, traveling, nature & landscape photography, hiking, and playing guitar. I live in East Hampton, Connecticut with my beautiful wife (Meg), our two dogs (Tucker & Diamond), and cat (Grace).

Working with Mike was wonderful! His photographs are beautiful. But beyond the impeccable quality of his work, Mike is a pleasure to work with--he is responsive, knowledgeable, and organized. Anyone who is planning a wedding knows how valuable these qualities are. I'd enthusiastically recommend Mike to all!

BOOK BRITT! She is a phenomenal photographer and an equally amazing human. I must have reached out to 30 photographers during my initial search, and she stuck out to me right away. Britt is so easy to talk to, provides honest advice on all aspects of the wedding planning process, and was so professional the day of our wedding. She took charge to make sure everyone was where we needed to be, but she also kept such a calm demeanor the entire time. And her photos? Incredible. I told her initially that I wanted photos that made me remember what I was feeling when the picture was taken, and she 100% delivered. I can’t believe how lucky we are that these photos get to stay with us for the rest of our lives. You absolutely should book Britt Hill Photo; you won’t be disappointed.

When i was young, my dream was to be a filmmaker and musician. The art of visual storytelling was captivating to me. When the right image, message, and music collide, it’s pure magic. After high school i moved across the country to pursue a music career. 4 albums, 13 countries, and 100’s of shows later i found myself wanting to be behind the camera, rather than in front. Filmmaking gave me the chance to express myself, while capturing once in a lifetime moments. I had once again fallen in love with storytelling. It’s never JUST a photo or video clip. It’s real people, real emotion, seen through a perspective that otherwise wouldn’t exist.

Josh & Jenny flew all the way down to Tulum on such short notice to shoot our wedding for us. They were fun, energetic, got along with all of our family & friends! They made us feel comfortable and stress free on our big day. We couldn’t have asked for a better duo to collect our memories on film.

Yumiko at Hana Floral Design was one of the first vendors I really clicked with during my wedding planning experience, and the rest was history! I am so glad I found her early in the planning process. Her ability to understand and execute my tropical-inspired wedding vision gave me full confidence that my wedding would be success. Throughout the process, Yumiko easily adapted to new ideas, took feedback in stride, offered helpful (really helpful) ideas, and seamlessly communicated with my other vendors to turn my vision into a reality. She had awesome connections (helped to find my amazing photographer) and she went above and beyond to turn our blank canvas of a tent and transform it into a tropical, island chic space.

I'm a floral designer taking a kind—not just nice—New England approach: seasonally driven, thoughtful, and attuned to the moment. With support from my small team, we blend local blooms and curated market finds to create florals that are refined, textured, and personal. We embrace trends when they feel right but prioritize timeless designs you’ll love for years. We thrive with clients who value trust and collaboration—together, we bring your vision to life with care and creativity. I’m honest and thoughtful about guiding you to make the most of your flower budget—always with clarity and intention.

Jakkelyn Iris was my absolute favorite vendor that I worked with for my wedding. I am a total perfectionist, who had a very clear idea for what I wanted, and Jakkie was able to bring it all to life. She rolled with all the punches I gave her- crazy ideas about installing trees, panicked emails about color decisions, creating an additional bridesmaid bouquet on the spot because I miscounted, and more. She is not just an incredibly talented florist, but a wonderful person as well. I looked forward to all our meetings because they were fun. On the day of my wedding when she brought me my bouquet, I cried! I am recommending her to all my friends in the area because she is truly the best!

My perfect day is sitting outside in the autumn air drinking espresso while listening to a podcast or reading The Secret, again. The show Outlander is a guilty pleasure though Brian and I are always quoting New Girl and Bob’s Burgers. I love planning adventures, thrillers, football Sundays, wholesome conversation, cozy vibes and markets.

Ashley is someone who is so genuine, kind and understanding. She knows what it takes to capture the most beautiful photos that leave you remembering your day so vividly for a lifetime.
