Hi, I'm Stephanie! I specialize in backyard weddings and small celebrations. I connect best with couples who might include their dog in the ceremony, make their day uniquely theirs, and don't sweat the small stuff. A jar of wildflowers is as interesting to me as a perfectly crafted orchid bouquet. I love documenting the small moments and details, and I see beauty everywhere on a wedding day. My face always hurts from smiling so much on my drive home! I know how to take charge for posed portraits (and always do some!) but I prefer to capture moments as they happen. I've been a photographer full-time for over fifteen years.

Awarded Best of Zola
It’s hard to imagine our wedding without Stephanie’s calm presence and gorgeous photos. We had a very small wedding (28 people) at a vineyard in Connecticut. Stephanie captured the intimacy of our event and so many wonderful spontaneous moments. She has the uncanny ability to let the wedding flow unhindered, and yet - when the moment comes for that great snapshot - she is in the right place at the right time! For our wedding, some of my favorite photos were taken at dusk, when the kids were ready to let off some steam and went outside to run through the rows of grapevines. Stephanie’s photos embody the freedom and joy of those stolen moments. She is a true artist - and a lovely, warm person. I highly recommend her.

Born and raised in Maine, I dream of one day retiring there by the sea, like a real life Miss Rumphius. But until then, I live just outside of Boston with my husband and our three cats. I'm married to my high school sweetheart, but we waited more than a decade before saying our own vows. Sometimes (okay, often) I eat cake for breakfast, so you can always count on me to help taste test yours. If I'm not photographing people in love, I'm probably enjoying a glass (bottle) of champagne on the couch or planning my next adventure. I believe everything is better by the ocean and you should never wait to explore the world.

Kendra's photography is so beautiful and she is a delight to be around! Her knowledge and passion for photography show in her work.

I was blown away by the images, and I'm sure you will be too!

Awarded Best of Zola
Using Rich was one of the best wedding decisions we made. We really liked his style and ended up feeling very comfortable with him during our first phone conversation so we decided to go with him. From the very initial calls, to the engagement shoot and eventually to the wedding, Rich was super thorough, helpful, encouraging and informative. He was able to be so helpful and guided us while also perfectly incorporating our preferences and discussions. When the wedding day came, he was so calm and really relived us of any anxiety and stress and he led us and our party through the day. He made everyone feel so comfortable and it really showed in the shots. The second photographer he brought, Greg, was also just the best and made us all feel so comfortable throughout the day. We thank you so much Rich for all you did for us and for making this whole experience super positive! The final pictures came out better than we could have ever expected and encourage anyone considering using Ciro photography to do so, you really won’t regret it.

Welcome to our Bridal and Special Event Hair and Makeup services! We specialize in creating stunning looks that enhance your beauty for your most occasions. Our talented team is dedicated to providing a personalized, ensuring you feel confident and radiant on your special day. Let us help you shine!

I can’t say enough wonderful things about my hair and makeup experience for my wedding day! From start to finish, my artist was extremely professional and punctual, arriving early to set up and ready to go. She put me at ease, especially as I was nervous about looking too overdone. She truly listened to what I wanted and perfected my look exactly as I had imagined. Her advice and creative ideas for both my hair and makeup were spot-on and elevated my final look. The quality was exceptional as my hair lasted all day and night without a single strand out of place, and my makeup didn’t budge despite all the emotions and dancing. She also kept the vibe lighthearted, which was a lifesaver for my nerves! A standout moment for me was when she handed me the mirror after finishing my makeup. I teared up seeing myself because it was the first time I truly felt like a bride. She didn’t just apply makeup, she brought out the best version of me. Despite my wedding being thrown together quickly (and during the Holidays) due to an upcoming move, her communication was seamless and stress-free. She brought all her equipment, had me done earlier than expected, and left the space spotless. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for professionalism, skill, and someone who genuinely cares about making your day perfect!

Awarded Best of Zola
I want to start off by saying to those who are unsure about spending the money on a videographer: you’ll never regret having those videos, but you will forever regret NOT having them. Wow — where do I even begin? Working with Armando, Amanda, and The Fourth Film Team has been absolutely phenomenal! They are so kind, patient, and above all, incredibly talented! I spoke with several videographers before hiring The Fourth Film. I was so impressed with the care and time Armando spent speaking with me during our consultation call. I love how he had creative ideas for setting the scene for the video that reflected my own unique relationship with my partner. It felt like a creative collaboration. On the day of the wedding the team was helpful, positive, unobtrusive, and diligent. My partner and I wanted more of a candid Film style. The Fourth Film team absolutely has delivered and totally understood our vision. They fully respected that we did not want to be taken away from the celebration for staged moments. Above all, I’m absolutely amazed at everything I’ve seen so far, and the turnaround time has been so impressive! The Fourth Film’s video editing quality and story telling ability is above and beyond what I hoped for, and their price point is far below what the quality of their work deserves!

I truly believe the best way to tell your story is to be more than just someone who shows up with a camera. I want to be by your side every step of the way, capturing not just images but memories you’ll cherish forever. And something you should know—when you work with me, you don’t just get a photographer; you get a friend for life.

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Gina both professionally and personally for several years, and I can’t recommend her enough as a wedding photographer. As a wedding coordinator, I understand how critical it is for a couple to hire someone who can make the entire day feel relaxed, fun, and natural. Weddings can be stressful, but Gina has an incredible ability to keep the atmosphere light while still capturing all the important moments. Gina truly excels at balancing the need to get all the perfect shots while allowing couples to fully enjoy their special day with their friends and family. Whether it’s a candid moment or a perfectly posed photo, her versatility and skill shine through in every image. She captures not just the big moments, but the small, intimate ones that make the day unforgettable. Beyond her talent behind the camera, what really stands out about Gina is her wonderful attitude and warmth. She’s the kind of person who makes you feel comfortable, beautiful, and heard – qualities that are so important in a photographer. It’s no surprise that after working with her for a wedding, couples often reach out for maternity, newborn, and family sessions. Gina has photographed my own family for years, and each time we leave not only with stunning photos but with beautiful memories of the experience itself. If you want a photographer who will not only deliver breathtaking wedding photos but also make you feel at ease and make your day more enjoyable, Gina is your person. She’s truly one of the best in the business.

Hey friends! What is the value of a photograph? Well, if it’s art, then its value is determined by the status and popularity of the artist, in most cases anyway. If it’s that one moment at your wedding when your fiancé reads your love note for the first time, sheds that one tear they swore wouldn't happen, then it’s a moment you need captured and archived, because its value is incomprehensible. I’m going to capture that moment and preserve it forever you! Hi! My name is Mark! I'm a wedding photographer in Rhode Island and I'm really excited you're here.

I started photographing weddings in 2017. I originally got my first camera to photograph landscapes- National Parks specifically. But the second the camera was in my hands, I was immediately drawn to photographing connections between people. Since that moment I haven't hesitated while my heart led me in the direction of wedding and elopement photography! I love documenting the in-between, unprompted moments; the subtle way your partner glances over at you with a side smile when you're not paying attention, the groom fiddling with his new ring, and the uncontrollable laughter when you're melting into each other during your couple's photos.

Tamara's work speaks for itself. She is an incredibly talented photographer and clearly loves her job. Beyond that, Tamara is kind, professional, and so amiable that she instantly makes you feel like a friend!

We travel all over New England and beyond, so when you’re ready for our industry-leading talent and a game-changing event package all at one affordable wedding band price, we’re ready to celebrate with you.

We are still on a high from the most fun night of our lives all thanks to BeachNights band, Chris and DJ Connor!!! If you want to have music at your wedding that everyone will be talking about for years to come, book BeachNights for your reception and the DJ combo for your other music needs (ceremony, cocktail hour, afterparty). Booking BeachNights for all our music needs was the best decision we made for our wedding day. BeachNights far exceeded our expectations. Chris is so professional, organized, and easy to work with. They have so much experience in all types of venues; you will be glad you have a band who knows exactly what they need to do to put on a seamless performance. They keep the music process worry-free so you can focus on other aspects of wedding planning. A piece of unsolicited advice if I may, book BeachNights for everything: ceremony, cocktail hour, reception, afterparty. It was so much easier being able to talk to ONE person and coordinate all music through ONE group rather than having 4 music vendors involved in the planning process. They take time to learn about you as a couple, your music wants and needs, likes and dislikes so that every single song is exactly what you want and how you pictured your music on your wedding day. THANK YOU Chris and team for making our wedding dreams come true!

I don’t think I can truly explain or fit into a review how amazing Kris with unKAGed events is! We hired Kris because this was a destination wedding for us and we needed help with locating vendors and wanted to feel like we had someone that we could work with in the area that was familiar with the industry and able to coordinate day of for us. I had my initial call with Kris and immediately felt comfortable and listened to with any questions or concerns I had with planning. She offered us different vendors for catering, rentals, dj and cake. She setup up tastings and meetings with all vendors making sure we felt comfortable and confident with every vendor we went with. Kris went above and beyond being CCd on every email and on every call. She provided quick and accurate information throughout the planning process. We ran into issues with our venue along the way and Kris was right there beside us helping us and working through it. What can feel like the chaos of wedding planning we knew we could trust her and rely on her. When it came to day of as a bride it’s hard to feel like you don’t have full control over your day. However trusting Kris after working with her leading up to the big day I knew she was going to do all she could to bring my vision to life and make the best decisions for our wedding. She did just that! I can’t put into words how much she did for us - from all the work leading up, rehearsal, setting up ceremony site, setting up cocktail hour, setting up the reception tables and seating chart and then breaking it all down after - she truly does it all!! I knew I was hiring someone to help us along the way and for the day of our wedding what I didn’t know is I was hiring someone who would care about us the way she did.

We hired Tyler Preston Country, Southern Rock, Americana for our wedding and he was fantastic! From our first call with his wife, the communication with both her and Tyler was thorough, clear, and timely - they answered all of our questions and made sure we felt prepared for the big day. On the wedding day, Tyler was a wonderful musician who played with energy and passion. His performance was a highlight of the night that our guests enjoyed. Tyler and his wife are also very kind people. We felt we got great value for the quality of their work. We highly recommend Tyler Preston for other weddings or events!

This review is a tad long so bear with me. I worked with La Mila Catering for my sister’s wedding which was held on 27 July 2024. While planning my wedding a few years ago I knew what to expect and what questions to ask. What I didn’t expect was working with such a lovely and genuine team. I worked with Sandy specifically for catering services only. She’s spunky, lively, knowledgeable, and accommodating. Working with her has been a pleasure and I felt as if I were talking to one of my best friends. Sandy is a great salesperson. She not only explains what La Mila offers but she does it in a way that is transparent and has no unexpected costs and “fine print”. She communicates well and is direct, which I appreciate. She’s a talker and I don’t mean that negatively. She makes you feel like family most sincerely. In terms of planning and coordination, Sandy was excellent and they’re lucky to have her. Menu: When creating the menu my sister wanted Mediterranean food. Now, I believe that their specialty is Mediterranean cuisine, but they do not shy away from other cuisines. Their menu is extensive and will cater to anyone’s taste. Skies the limit! We had quite a bit of offerings for Cocktail hour, Dinner, and Dessert. We were able to have a tasting which helped us narrow down if what was selected previously was what they wanted for the day of the wedding. There we met Elie (E-Lee NOT El-lee) and Heidi, the owners, and Sandy in person. Elie is the head chef and knows what he’s doing in the kitchen. Everything was cooked to perfection; delicious tasting and the portions were filling. Aside from the food it was obvious that Elie and Heidi work hard for their business and are truly dedicated. Day of the wedding: Elie, Heidi and their team worked based on the wedding timeline that I created. They were on time to serve all their food. I can’t tell you how many times I saw Elie walking back and forth to check on food and to bring food. That guy was moving! Heidi did all of the cocktail and dessert table placement and more. They are a hardworking team and I highly recommend them. From start to finish it was easy and perfectly executed. Point blank the food was delicious and I wish they had a restaurant so I could eat there all the time. LOL Thank you again for your friendship, delicious food and professionalism. *I wish I took pictures.

I am jumping into my 10th bridal season as a makeup artist and am more passionate about it than ever before! Specializing in glowy, soft glam makeup looks! Also offering pre wedding skin prep, brows & lash services at my studio in Wayland, MA!

I know it sounds crazy, but I may or may not have picked my wedding date based on Nikki and Rachel's schedule. Nikki did my makeup for a friend's wedding 2 years ago, and after feeling the most beautiful I'd ever felt in my life I knew I was going to book her when my time came around. The entire process with Nikki was easy, from my trial to the logistics and all in between. Her work speaks for itself. I can't even count the number of people who came up to me and told me my makeup was insanely gorgeous on my wedding day, and I felt that way too. The one aspect that I feel shouldn't be overlooked is the experience Nikki and my beauty time provided for me on that day. When I say down in the chair, it was the first time I started to get nervous and thought, "Oh my god, this is really happening," but sitting there with Nikki and chitchatting and giggling made my nerves go away. I was so sad when the getting ready part was over because I had so much fun hanging out with them LOL. Thank you, thank you, thank you Nikki for making me feel so insanely beautiful, and for being such a big part of my wedding day. My blast of a morning set the tone for the rest of the day!
