Krystina Pare Photography was founded in 2019 and has continued to grow and thrive since then. Please reach out with any questions on pricing to see what we can work out.

Choosing Krystina to be our photographer on the day we got married was the best decision I could have made! My husband and I eloped at a local town hall, but still wanted some photos to celebrate and memorialize the day. She has an amazing eye for detail and location! We took some at the town hall, but you’d never know we weren’t at a nicer location unless I told you. My husband and I wanted some more variety but weren’t sure of where else to go. She suggested a nearby location that really fit the vibe we were hoping for and those photos came out stunning! She knows how to make you feel comfortable while taking the photos and has amazing post-production skills to provide you with the best image possible. Overall, I am THRILLED with Krystina Pare Photography and would certainly book her again and recommend her to all!

  • Planner
  • Offers 7 services
  • Starts at $3,500
  • Serves West Hartford, CT

At Bookmarked Weddings, we plan weddings with heart, hustle, and a sprinkle of magic. Based in New England, we specialize in creating celebrations that feel like you—bold, joyful, personal, and beautifully organized. Whether you’re dreaming up a backyard bash or a ballroom soirée, we bring the calm to the chaos, the strategy to the sparkle, and the experience to make it all happen seamlessly. From full-service planning to wedding management, we’re here to guide you, cheer you on, and handle the details so you can stay present and party hard.

As a wedding photographer, I work with a wide range of planners, but Tanya from Bookmarked Weddings truly stands out. Our most recent wedding together was a 2025 New Year’s Eve wedding, and it was clear from the start that this wasn’t just another event—it was a fully immersive experience, thanks in large part to Tanya’s vision and execution. The day was filled with intricate details: a balldrop at midnight filled with bubbles, an elegant champagne tower, and a timeline packed with special moments and intentional design. Tanya handled it all with a calm, confident presence and exceptional attention to detail. She built a full-day timeline that was both comprehensive AND realistic—which meant everything ran smoothly, and I was able to capture the day naturally without unnecessary stress or delays. Tanya’s coordination behind the scenes allowed the couple to stay present and enjoy every moment while ensuring that vendors like myself had exactly what we needed to do our jobs well. Her thoughtful approach and clear communication made a huge difference throughout the day. The energy of a New Year’s Eve wedding is already electric, but Tanya elevated it with a sense of elegance, organization, and creativity that made the whole celebration feel effortless and magical. If you're looking for a planner who can manage complex, high-energy events with grace, precision, and style, Tanya from Bookmarked Weddings is it. Every time I know we are going to work together, I fist pump the air in celebration because it will be FLAWLESS! — Cait Fletcher Cait Fletcher Photography

  • Ceremony only
  • Serves West Hartford, CT

I play violin at weddings. I have over 500 songs from all genres and the right equipment to provide a seamless and memorable experience. I enjoy playing for people and pride myself at doing a great job for couples and their guests.

MusicBySandro was an excellent choice for our wedding band and DJ. From the start, he was highly professional, responsive, and accommodated our schedule. On the day of our wedding, he was fully prepared and it was obvious he knew how to work with weddings, playing all of our requested songs and even adding some piano pieces to play along with. We didn't need to provide him with much instruction, as he clearly had extensive experience performing at weddings. His wide repertoire was impressive. We highly recommend MusicBySandro for any couple looking for a talented and experienced live wedding musician that will help make their special day unforgettable.

We could not recommend Emily's Catering Group more! Our wedding was August 25, 2018 at South Farms in Morris, CT. People say the food at your wedding is one of the most important and memorial parts of your day and it's true! People are still raving about the food they had at our wedding till this day and the fantastic service by the ECG's team! From the very first point of contact Rick and his team were extremely attentive. Cheryl would answer our emails within 24 hours (which for a bride planning a wedding is SO impressive!) The tasting we had was intimate and Rick walked us through the process of what our guests experience would be like the day of our wedding. The passed hors d'oeuvres were never ending during cocktail hour-- our guests we're SO impressed and FULL of delicious tasting food they were wondering how they would be able to eat during dinner. Rick and his team brought my charcuterie table dreams come to life! There was specific staff members from the ECG's team that were in charge of basically following us around during our event to make sure we had all the food we ever wanted and a drink was always full in our hands. It was so refreshing to feel so well taken care of on our special day. We are so happy we chose Emily's Catering Group for our wedding day and we continue to use them to cater all of our events.

Butch Gray, Disc Jockey/Entertainer, LLC 

5.0

  • DJ
  • Starts at $2,200
  • Serves West Hartford, CT

There is an art to entertaining. To create a memorable wedding celebration, you need quality entertainment. Most events I do start with some common elements: guests, music and the client’s desire for the event to be successful. It’s the inspiration in the execution and preparation before the event that distinguishes me from the ordinary. While others may do events by number, I make each event an original, a unique reflection of my client…you! I take inspiration from your dreams and desires. I do not ask you to follow someone else’s format because I will thrive in yours.

Butch was simply phenomenal! He was able to keep our small wedding so high energy it felt like we had a room full of a hundred people! He was so flexible with us as we had so many changes throughout the planning process. He was willing to work with us regardless of what our contract stated, he just wanted us to have the best wedding we could. He was so helpful in planning meetings and his tool was easy and fun for us to use! We asked him last minute to do all the ceremony music and he was even willing to jump in the day of to marry us when we thought we were without an officiant. All of our guests raved about him! We can't say enough about Butch except to HIRE HIM! :)

We are dedicated to creating timeless visuals that reflect the true spirit of your love story.​

I was never someone who felt comfortable in front of a camera, so I was nervous about how our wedding photos would turn out. But from the moment they arrived, their energy was calm, friendly, and made everything feel so easy. They gave gentle direction when we needed it but never forced anything—most of the time, I didn’t even notice they were there. When we got the gallery back, I was honestly shocked. They didn’t just take pictures—they captured the way the day felt. The nervous excitement before the ceremony, the way my partner squeezed my hand during the vows, the way our families looked at us with so much love. Every photo is filled with meaning, and looking through them felt like reliving everything I never want to forget.

I promise two things: you’ll laugh until your stomach hurts, and we’ll create beautiful photo memories.

Hi friends! We’re Dan and Rebecca! After working together for many years, Dan won me (Rebecca) over with his genius cocktail creations and bartending skills. But, legend has it that my bartending skills are what really sealed the deal as we’re now married with two daughters, Scarlett and Josephine. We wanted to expand our love for liquor, meet new people, and make friends so we came up with The LiquoristMD. We had never heard of a mobile bar in Connecticut but were inspired by the many mobile bars we follow down South and the rest was history!

Rebecca and Dan were so great to work with for my June wedding. So many people complimented their service - and their amazing mobile bar!! It was a highlight of the night. They were so easy to work with from start to finish and went above and beyond. We are lucky we found them! Highly recommend.

  • Serves West Hartford, CT

I began capturing images in high school at a young age and fell in love with the process of capturing raw moments on camera. I decided to pursue my dream and go to school in Boston for photography. Alongside this, I have my sociology degree and really understand and connect with so many people. To me, building strong connections with my clients is so important and I find myself being able to easily talk to people of all walks of life. My knowledge of people and passion for photography sparked my pathway into wedding photography; capturing love filled couples and all the emotions that come with getting married.

Working with Deirdre was one of the best parts of our wedding! We were glad to meet her beforehand at the engagement shoot - she really helped us feel comfortable and went above and beyond to get shots in some different locations that held special meaning for us. At the wedding, it is SO good to have a familiar face. She again made not just my husband and I but the whole wedding party feel comfortable. She dealt with family chaos like it was no problem at all (when people tell you that family photos are the most stressful part of the day - BELIEVE THEM). She has an excellent eye for detail and captured some truly beautiful shots. Our sneak peeks are great - I know the full album is going to be special!!

  • Photographer
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $4,700
  • Serves West Hartford, CT

Almost 20 years of experience and I still get as excited as I did when I first started photographing events! I got my BFA in photojournalism at Rochester Institute of Technology and my common sense from a well-lived, full life. From intimate weekday elopements to full scale destination events that require a team of photographers, I have done it all. I focus on telling the most full and vibrant story of your event, so you can look back and feel like you didn't missed a thing.

A camera can pick up the visual attraction of a moment, but most times it feels impossible to relive the actual energy of that place in time. Carla - is the absolute key to capturing every ounce of that magical energy. My wedding day was truly the most remarkable day of my life, and every single picture Carla took brings me back to that exact moment in a way I never thought a photo could do. Not only is she a visual genius - but she set the tone for the entire day. Some people in the bridal party who HATE having their picture taken, had so much fun they didn’t even realize they were having a “photo shoot”. Her attention to timing is flawless. Her timeline had every single picture we wanted to get, every friend and family member, every quirky thing I incorporated - and in the most elegant way I could have NEVER imagined. ALSO major plus - her son Jackson is a brilliant videographer. He did our video and their chemistry and vibrant energy was EVERYTHING!!!!! Do yourself a favor - just book her. She’s really busy because she’s so amazing so don’t wait. LOLOLOLOL

I worked with Virginia for my October 2023 wedding and we also did a hair and makeup trial a few months prior. Virginia was so warm, friendly, and professional and delivered exactly what I asked for! I never wear makeup so I was nervous about wearing wedding makeup and asked her to help me look/feel like myself and she did just that. She took feedback extremely well and incorporated that feedback on the wedding day to help me feel my best! She made me feel so comfortable. My hair was amazing and she ensured my headpiece stayed secure - and it lasted and looked great all night! She did an amazing job with my mom and MOH as well - they both absolutely loved their looks, especially my mom who also doesn’t wear makeup regularly. I didn’t really consider that this is the vendor you spend your whole wedding morning with, which can really affect the energy as you prepare to get married. Virginia’s energy was so positive and really added to my day, which I am super grateful for. She felt like a longtime friend. Highly recommend her!!
