After one visit with Claudio at the Rotch Jones Duff House, my husband and I knew immediately that was the perfect spot for us to host our wedding. The Rose Garden was a stunning backdrop for our ceremony and the grounds provided plenty of space for our guests to eat, dance and celebrate. Claudio was so easy to work with, he was proactive in letting us know what he needed from us and provided so many tips and recommendations all throughout the planning process. The venue provided much of what we needed for the day, eliminating the need for excess rentals and even coming through a few times in a pinch with details we had accidentally overlooked. They were flexible in so many ways, accommodating all of our vendors and allowing for adjustments as we altered our guest list and changed our vision. Claudio answered every question, was quick to respond and provided invaluable insight for novice planners like us. On the day of the wedding, he was the silent star of the show; we had a day-of coordinator who was helpful and definitely necessary but it was Claudio who knew how to keep everything running exactly to plan and made the day feel completely seamless so I could focus on enjoying my time as a bride instead of stressing about the details of the day. Even our guests and bridal party loved him! From start to finish, working with the Rotch Jones Duff House was easily the best decision we made in planning our wedding. I can’t overstate how well worth the cost it was and how stress-free our experience with them has been. Our guests are still talking about how beautiful the rose garden was and the stunning photos we took all over the grounds will forever speak for themselves.

Hey, I’m Britt! I’m a New England wedding photographer for couples who care more about meaningful moments than picture-perfect poses. I believe your wedding photos should feel like YOU. Bringing you back to the butterflies, belly laughs, and quiet in-betweens. My approach is warm, down-to-earth, and rooted in connection. Whether you’re exchanging vows surrounded by a handful of your favorite people (+ fur babies), or sharing a first dance under the stars, I’ll focus on capturing the moments that truly matter. If this sounds like your vibe, let’s connect. I’d love to hear all about what you’re dreaming up!

Awarded Best of Zola
My husband and I are not the type to get professional photos done — honestly, we probably would’ve skipped them altogether if my sister hadn’t entered (and won!) Britt’s Instagram contest. I’m so thankful she did, because this experience completely changed my mindset. Britt captured us so beautifully and naturally. The photos are absolutely stunning — especially the ones with that gorgeous golden-hour sunset. They’re the kind of photos we’ll hang on our walls and treasure forever, not ones that get tucked away in a box to be forgotten. She made us feel so comfortable and confident (which is saying a lot for two people who usually feel awkward in front of a camera!). And I loved getting to wear my wedding dress again — why should something that beautiful only get one day of glory? Thank you, Britt, for your professionalism, warmth, and incredible talent. We’ll recommend you to anyone and everyone looking for a photographer!

My husband and I recently got married September 2023 at Hotel Providence in Rhode Island. Planning a wedding was one of the hardest things I ever had to do in my life. Finding the perfect vendor for each part of your wedding is hard. I spent many many days privately messaging people and trying to see who fits what I need for this day. I came down to the DJ. I found Josh of D and J entertainment. I read all his positive reviews and decided to give him a call. He without hesitation answered all my questions and drove from Massachusetts to Rhode Island to meet with us. Josh hands down is one of the coolest people you can talk to. He is very honest but in a good way. He lets you know was popular with weddings now and helps you out his spin on it. Josh’ company has amazing pricing. They are able to accommodate all weddings. With so much you have to pay for on this day it’s nice paying someone and feeling like your money is actually going to be used well with him. They arrived hours before the ceremony to set up. The hotel loved the company too and how polite they were. Josh came prepared with all the music we requested to hear that day. From the minute we walked down the isle to when everyone left. Josh kept playing amazing music. All night I wasn’t let down once by the song choice. In some areas the venue messed up on a few things. Example the cake cutting and first dance. The hotel really didn’t nail timing so josh Took complete control of the wedding and saved it truly. He made sure my cake cutting and first dance were memorable because the hotel slipped with this. Nothing like a DJ who saves the day too. The best part of it all while DJing Josh found time to take so many photos. He wasn’t asked or required to do so. He took it upon himself to take more professional photos for us. That’s what I call above and beyond. Couldn’t believe he went that far out of his way for us. Thank You josh and all of d and J entertainment. You made the Soares wedding the biggest success. We will never forget you or your amazing spirit and drive to make others day unforgettable.

Kailey was a dream to work with! We loved her from the very beginning with our engagement shoot included in our wedding package. It was so reassuring getting to meet her ahead of time and we cannot stop talking about what a great decision it was to trust her for our wedding day. Our photos came out beautiful and she was both professional and personal every step of the way. Communication was also great, even with a language barrier between some of our family!

They did a lot of candid. We did some nerdy Star Wars themed photos and everywhere I looked. There was a photographer or Mac who is doing a video anytime. I saw something that I wanted captured if somebody wasn’t already getting it they were immediately on it the quality of photos we got back for our sneak peek(156 photos btw with more to come!) was breathtaking.

Weddings are performance. You practice, you prepare, you dress up, and you tell a story. Your love story. I was a Musical Theatre major, and this makes me the perfect conduit to tell your love story in a cohesive and creative way. The way it was meant to be told. I started working in a portrait studio in 2008, and shot my first wedding in 2009. It was pretty obvious I was meant to capture these events and help translate them into art. I haven't stopped since. I am truly honored to be able to shape these memories for my couples, and consider it the most important part of my job.

Colleen was an incredible help planning our day from start to finish. She is fun and bubbly while also being organized and IN CHARGE on wedding day. We had to change locations for formal portraits as cocktail hour began, and she had us moved and back into the flow of things in minutes. What an incredible talent she is!

The Villa is the first venue that my now-husband and I visited when we were looking for a place to host our wedding. From the very beginning, the Saphire Event Group staff at The Villa were unbelievably knowledgeable and helpful, answering all of our questions even before we picked them as our venue. Once we picked the date and the wedding got closer, we were paired with our event producer, Daniella Cimino. Daniella was nothing short of exceptional throughout our whole planning process. She made sure that all of our questions were answered, that we felt confident in the timeline of our day, and made sure to go over even the smallest of details to make sure that nothing was missed. We truly cannot thank Daniella and the event staff at The Villa enough for their professionalism, attention to detail, and hard work to ensure our day was picture-perfect. The food was incredible, our guests are still raving about all of the unique options and how great their entrees were. We would absolutely recommend working with this venue, their team, and Daniella to anyone who is considering this venue for their special day.

I can not recommend Jillian enough. She is easy to work with, kind, gentle, very knowledgeable, creative, flexible, and extremely supportive. We used a dingy boat as our "arbor". Jillian was creative and extremely supportive in figuring out how to affix the flowers to the boat. Additionally, when I decided to do cake centerpieces, Jillian was flexible with changing the plan to bud vases. She recommended adding greenery to the table which brought the whole look together. Not to mention that the flowers she sources last so long!! Over a week and a half after the wedding the flowers looked as good as day 1! I feel so lucky that I encountered Jillian in my wedding planning process. She is simply the best!

Jon smith is hands down the best DJ you could possibly pick for your wedding. He really gets the audience going with his upbeat music and his crowd pleasing games. From day 1 he was so easy to work with and very personable. We had a phone call with him to start and it felt like talking to a friend. He is such an outgoing and great dude. He takes the initiative and always follows up on emails and confirming everything is perfect. We highly recommend visiting him at his office for the second meeting instead of a call/virtual. We had a great time chatting and joking while listening to music with him in person. He gave recommendations on mom/son dance, first dance, father/daughter dance etc. We listened to a ton of music and just hung out for awhile. He performed at Lakeview Pavillion and had a beautiful setup in the corner of the smaller sized ball room and was very professional. His 2 staff members were great as well. He mc’ed the event and knocked it out of the park… Ask Jon to do the towel/guests dancing around the chairs game and thank me later! It’s been 4 months and guests are still saying how much fun they had at our wedding and that the music was dead on ALL night! Jon is the man for your wedding. Don’t even hesitate on getting him if he is available for your wedding! Cheers Eric & Stephanie

Brendan is the absolute best!!! His communication was quick and efficient when we first started the process of looking for a DJ. We looked no further once Brendan gave us his details. Our guests told us that they absolutely “loved our DJ” and we couldn’t agree more!! My main wish was to have everyone on the dance floor all night and thanks to Brendan’s playlist, our guests were dancing all night long. My dad worked with Brendan to come up with a mashup of songs that meant a lot to us from my childhood for the father/bride dance. The mashup had smooth transitions and it was very specially made. Brendan was conscious of our song requests and made our vision come to life from walkout songs to parent dances, group dances, cake cutting song, to final song of the night. The phone app that Brendan uses to organize your night is easy to use and allows you to personalize your night to absolute perfection as you prepare for the day. We selected the photo-booth package as well and the pictures came out phenomenal. The photos were of the highest quality and it is something we’ll have forever to cherish the night and our guests. If you’re looking for a DJ- look no further than B-Sharp Entertainment. Thank you Brendan!!

From our initial facetime with Kelsey, to our engagement shoot, to our wedding day, she was an absolute pleasure to work with. I had a phone call with Kelsey 1 week before the wedding just so she could triple check we were all on the same page about wedding day. She created a tailored day of schedule for us which did not feel rushed. We always felt heard by Kelsey about how we envisioned the day. She gave us space but was still able to capture magical moments. She had such a calming presence during what can be a chaotic day and made us feel confident and our best during our portraits. Kelsey's second photographer Elyse who was working with her was also wonderful. She has a romantic, documentary style which appears effortless but still gives instruction on how to pose during portraits. She also got our sneak peaks to us in record time and was able to provide a generous amount of sneak peak photos just 2 days after our wedding. She estimated our full wedding gallery would take 8-10 weeks but we were pleasantly surprised when our wedding gallery arrived within 7 weeks and on my birthday! What a pleasant surprise and the wedding gallery was tailored, comprehensive and not overwhelming to go through. Our favorites ended up being from the sneak peaks speaking to how well Kelsey was able to comb through all of the photos and pick the best ones. We can't recommend Kelsey enough if you want a timeless, romantic documentary style photographer.

I know you want to be a breathtaking bride with an unforgettable wedding. In order to do that you need gorgeous floral arrangements. The problem is, creating a cohesive vision for your wedding flowers on your own can be challenging. This can leave you feeling overwhelmed, and daunted by the process. I believe flowers are the silent soundtrack of your wedding, setting the mood and ambiance like nothing else can. That’s why I dedicate my 25 years of experience to help brides create personalized arrangements that ensure their wedding is a unique masterpiece.

My experience with Flowers by the station was fantastic from beginning to end. The communication was clear & they took the time to gather the details about me that helped them bring my vision to fruition. The perfect backyard bbq wedding bouquet!! I was so happy with their service that I recently went back to them for help with funeral arrangements as well.

We were immediately sold on the staff (who took such time and care chatting with us) before we even fell in love with the venue. Davis-Lynn and Lilly were our rockstars! We were lucky enough to have them with us on our wedding day. The first portion of the day I was incredibly nervous, but once I was greeted by Davis-Lynn at the front door all my worries dissipated. I knew I was in the best of hands and suddenly felt ready to have fun. Even during the dinner service, Lilly was so kind as to sew my ripped bustle behind the scenes. She was so dedicated to making sure we had the best experience. The venue is simply stunning. As two people who appreciate history and go antiquing regularly, The Barker House spoke to our personalities. The speak-easy feel of the sunken bar, fireplaces, and exposed beams are very unique. The venue is in a gorgeous area and we were glad to be by the ocean. The chef is phenomenal as the food service was top notch. Family still exclaim to us how delicious the food was (omg the short ribs perfection!). I also suggest that couples utilize The Barker House's recommended vendors. Not only was payment and interaction with them a breeze, but they were each fabulous in responsiveness and quality. Awesome Blossom, Toast To That Entertainment, and Kristen Griffin Photography were incredibly professional and they each blew us away. I could go on and on... The bottom line, if you looking for a worry free all inclusive beautiful venue and want to work with the best people, look no further than The Barker House! P.S. Brides, make sure you get a picture with your planners! My only regret is that I didn't get a picture with Lilly and Davis-Lynn!

Hey everyone! My name is Kadasia! I started professionally working as a makeup artist in 2020! I’ve always loved makeup, and how it makes me feel, and love the opportunity to share that with others! I’ve made men and women look and feel their best on various occasions, from birthdays and photo shoots, to weddings and public appearances! As a mother of 2, I understand the importance of self care and feeling confident about yourself! I believe in inclusivity and equality and that everyone deserves to feel their best!

Kadasia was very professional, and very quick with her work while still maintaining quality. She also worked very well with our 4 year old flower girl. She did my hair and makeup exactly as I envisioned it and I couldn’t have been happier with the outcome.

THIS IS ABOUT YOU!!! That's my whole approach to the day. I'm Keith, the lead photographer and owner of Berryphotos. I've shot over 1200+ weddings over the past 15+ years and in that time I've mastered my craft and all photography styles so I can apply the best option for any given scenario. Having those skills locked-in means I can put 100% of my attention on YOU. Making sure your day runs smoothly, identifying anything that could cause stress or anxiety and preemptively addressing them so you have the best day ever.

We had the pleasure of working with Berry Photos for our wedding, and we couldn’t be happier with our experience. Our photographer, Keith, was absolutely fantastic. He traveled from Massachusetts to our wedding in South Windsor Connecticut and captured the day beautifully, despite our large wedding party! Keith was prompt, professional, and incredibly friendly, putting everyone at ease throughout the day. The photos he took were stunning and truly captured the spirit and emotion of our wedding. Thanks to his talent, we now have a gorgeous wedding album—crafted in Venice—that we look at with our kids each anniversary and will treasure for a lifetime. We are so grateful to Keith and Berry Photos for helping us preserve such special memories. Highly recommend!

Hi! My name is Faith Donahue. I'm a creator from New Hampshire, living in Massachusetts. With a background in graphic design and photography, I decided to start my own business in April 2021. I absolutely love working with people and ensuring they capture their precious memories inside of beautiful images. I spend most of my days enjoying the company of my husband, our dog, Winston, and our newest addition, our little baby boy! I absolutely love to travel and I'm always down to travel for your wedding wherever it may be. I really look forward to working with and getting to know you!

I highly recommend Faith, we chose a package that included an engagement photo shoot which was a great introduction to her and her photography, the quality of those photos put me at ease that our wedding photos would be in good hands. Faith stayed in communication over the course of the almost year between our engagement photos and the wedding. Faith helped us plan out our wedding day timeline and put together a beautiful professional looking timeline document that I was able to send to all of our vendors and family/bridal party, I can’t begin to explain how helpful that was. We chose a package with a second shooter and I’m so glad we did, Faith and her second shooter Stephanie were able to capture every aspect of the day from all angles. Faith was so easy to collaborate with, she took my ideas and ran with them creating magazine worthy shots, I lost count of how many people who said “that bench picture should be in a magazine”. Check out the picture and decide for yourself.

Please reach out via Special day by K website HI EVERYONE! My mother was the first photographer in the family (30+ years in photography); she was my mentor, and my best friend… She recently passed due to cancer in late 2021. I've learned so much from her it’s indescribable. I’ve also have had the honor to be mentored at a young age by other acclaimed photographers and directors. Since childhood, I found that with photography, I could get to know people and at the same time capture emotions through images. Being able to translate feeling into an image is and will always be my lifelong goal. Multi published and award-winning photographer.

Alec made every part of our photo process seamless, easy, and so fun! Our wedding was 6/29/25 and the preview of the photos has both of our jaws on the floor. Alec has an amazing way with taking pictures where posing feels very natural and never forced. Our group and family photos were taken like a well oiled machine, allowing us to enjoy our entire family! We had several requests he was able to easily accommodate and we were able to incorporate our dog into some of our pictures which was a highlight for us both. Alec is a true professional, his communication is prompt, he is easy to reach with any question and is very organized with forms to fill out to make your day very smooth. We have been so happy to work with him for both our engagement pictures and our wedding photos, and hope we have another occasion to work with him again in the future! We cannot recommend Alec enough.

If you’re looking for a scenic wedding venue on the water with amazing food, easy communication, and seamless coordination, The Lakehouse is it! Almost a month later and we have not stopped receiving compliments about our wedding day. We got married in early November, so there wasn’t much foliage on the trees, but that did not take away any of the beauty of this venue! We lucked out with weather and had a gorgeous outdoor ceremony in front of the lake. The transition from our ceremony to cocktail hour to the reception was flawless and incredibly well-organized. The venue itself is breathtaking with its large windows, offering stunning views and a layout that allowed for an easy and natural flow throughout the day. There are also SO MANY photo ops, so even if weather didn’t cooperate, we would have had gorgeous photos no matter what! The food was nothing short of amazing! All of our guests, even our most high-maintenance ones, were highly impressed from our passed hors d’oeuvres, to our piping hot dinner. They LOVED the cookies & milk station, as well as our late-night french fry bar! I had been dreaming about this day for as long as I can remember, and I am super type-a, so I have been planning every detail for awhile! It was important to me that certain details were executed the way I had envisioned them. We were assigned Victoria as our Event Producer about 8 months prior to our wedding. She gave us the best advice and suggestions throughout the planning process, which is appreciated when you have so many decisions to make! We had a large wedding of 180 guests, as well as an 8-piece band, so it was important to us to have a large dance floor. Victoria put together the perfect floor plan that allowed us to dance the night away! On the day of our wedding, she setup all of our décor the exact way we envisioned it, and then some! We were so happy to have her there, and she was equally excited to be there for us. We truly did not have to lift a finger once we got to the venue! Our Event Manager, Aubre, kept everything running smoothly behind-the-scenes on our wedding day to the point where we did not have to worry about a thing. Our Wedding Attendant, Emma, was always right there when we needed her! She carried my bouquet or drink, bustled my dress, and even made sure we had and ate our appetizers, dinner, and dessert! These 3 women were lifesavers, and we could not have gotten through the day without them! They were so kind, thoughtful, attentive, and truly went above and beyond to make sure us and our guests were happy and taken care of. We couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful, stress-free experience, and we are so grateful to The Lakehouse and Saphire Event Group team for making our wedding day so perfect and unforgettable!

Atlas and Stone was on the preferred vendor list for our venue, and after working with them, it is easy to understand why. From the very beginning, Kevin and Jessica were professional, responsive, and genuinely easygoing, which immediately put us at ease during the planning process. On our wedding day, Kevin struck the perfect balance between keeping everything on track with our timeline and creating a relaxed, comfortable atmosphere. He made everyone feel at ease and effortlessly mixed in humor, which helped the day feel natural and enjoyable rather than rushed or stressful. We were also blown away by their turnaround time. Within one week, they sent an incredible sneak peek that included a substantial portion of our full gallery. The photos themselves are absolutely stunning and truly captured both the magic of the day and who we are as a couple. We could not be happier with our experience and the memories they preserved for us.
