Our approach combines artistic vision with a deep understanding of your unique journey, ensuring that every moment—from the subtle glances to the grand celebrations—is preserved with authenticity and elegance. 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.

We're Ashley and James, nature—inspired storytellers and creative partners who are here to capture your most precious moments. As a husband-and-wife team, we understand the importance of connection. We take the time to get to know you so that your wedding film reflects your unique journey together. We’re drawn to the beauty of those candid moments—the joyful smiles, heartfelt tears, and loving embraces—and we transform them into cinematic treasures that you and your loved ones will cherish for generations.

Had the BEST experience with Tree Films Creative! From the initial inquiry to our wedding day, everything has been so easy and smooth with Ashley and James. They instantly made us feel so comfortable, in general, and in front of the camera. Communications over email and/or text were clear and timely, and it was apparent how organized and on top of their agenda they were. What I especially appreciated was the timeline and layout of the entire wedding day, from start to finish, all the photos Ashley planned to take; with who, where, etc. It was easy to follow and we could customize/add any specific group photos/photo poses we wanted to take. The sneak peek preview of some of the photos was such an unexpected and impressively quick turnaround - we got them while we were on our honeymoon! So that was another exciting bit of the honeymoon we weren't expecting but got to enjoy and appreciate together. I am so looking forward to the rest of the photos and video and will definitely be working with these guys again for our first born baby photos!!

Awarded Best of Zola
Working with Muse Art Co. was an absolute dream. Sara is a ray of sunshine and brought so much joy and positivity throughout the entire process. As someone who didn't have a super strong vision for the florals, Sara guided me every step of the way and I was able to fully trust her to execute her vision. She did not disappoint! Everything from the centerpieces to the arch were absolutely perfect. Not to mention, my bouquet was one of the most stunning I have ever seen! Sara is undeniably talented, but the true magic of Muse Art Co. is the passion and love Sara exudes. When it seemed inevitable that it was going to rain Sara was so calm and reassured me that everything would be beautiful either way. The rain miraculously held off and Sara's flowers added so much brightness to the overcast day. I simply cannot imagine our wedding day without Sara and Muse Art Co. I promise there is no better choice for your wedding or any other special occasion. You simply will not find anyone better - we cannot thank Sara enough!

  • Officiant
  • Offers 8 ceremony types
  • Starts at $350
  • Serves Newington, CT

Why settle for the same clichéd, predictable service everyone else uses? You're unique, and your wedding should be, too. I'll work with you to design the perfect ceremony to match your own individual style and personality.

A few hours after my husband and I got engaged, I asked him, "What if we just had a super tiny wedding and got married in a week?" Cue a mad scramble to find an officiant, photographer, and venue. We had already spoken to one potential officiant who didn't ask us any questions or tell us what he was planning to do—not great—so when our photographer recommended Dave, we were thrilled he was available. When we met up over Zoom to talk, it was clear he's very smart and funny, and loves love without being mushy about it. He crafted a ceremony that was short and sweet, complete with a reading that was a great match for us. I loved that he sent us the full script with free rein to adjust it to our liking. I, an endless word-fusser, only made one small change. On the day, he was already laughing with our witnesses when we arrived, and it set the scene so beautifully for us to have a joyful, laid back ceremony. It was perfect. He's happy to provide ideas but really wants the ceremony to work for you as a couple. He'll talk about his outfit options for you to choose from. (We went with a navy suit but he has a rad hot pink one too if that fits your vision. I suspect he would gamely wear an Iron Man costume or KISS makeup if that were your dream.) That open thoughtfulness extends to whatever kind of ceremony you want—big or small, religious or secular, traditional or offbeat. Zero judgment, just a steady stream of smart questions, good ideas, and caring support. And he writes the best emails. I haven't laughed that hard or felt so sparklingly clever in writing in years.

Hi, I’m Sarah! The owner of Smainsbeauty. I am a licensed cosmetologist and makeup artist. I specialize in bridal hair and makeup. I offer a variety of add on services, such as extensions. I will travel just about anywhere to make your day special.

Smainsbeauty was an absolute pleasure to work with for my wedding day beauty needs. From the initial consultation, Sarah and her team were quick to understand my vision, making me feel comfortable and at ease throughout the entire process. Their communication was friendly and attentive, and they truly went above and beyond to ensure I looked and felt my absolute best. The quality of their work was top-tier - my hair and makeup stayed flawless from start to finish, even through the happy tears! I loved that Smainsbeauty offered both hair and makeup services, which helped me feel less overwhelmed on the big day. Sarah was my biggest advocate, always standing up for my preferences and making sure I felt confident. I would highly recommend Smainsbeauty to any bride-to-be looking for a talented, efficient, and sustaining beauty team to be a part of their special day.

This little hobby that started back in 2015 has become an absolute dream come true!! Photographing weddings is my second favorite part of this job, with serving the most incredible couples being the first! I knew from the start that I wanted my business to be focused on creating an amazing wedding experience that caters to each couple in a unique and memorable way! My focus throughout the entire process is to make things easy, stress-free, and most of all FUN! Outside of this business, I also train Ninja Warrior and love exploring throughout New England & the Northeast!

Chelsea Lavallee Photography was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. Their communication was easy, quick, and always accurate, which put us at ease throughout the entire process. The quality of their work was absolute perfection - the photos are light, clear, and airy, perfectly capturing the beauty and joy of our special day. As someone who finds it difficult to have photos taken and be the center of attention, Chelsea made the experience easy and comfortable. We are thrilled with the stunning photos that will allow us to cherish our wedding memories for years to come. We highly recommend Chelsea Lavallee Photography to any couple planning their wedding.
