Awarded Best of Zola
I had been seeing Ashley regularly to help with my skin when I got engaged and started planning my wedding. I said my 17 year old cousin would be doing my makeup because I simply was overwhelmed with decision making. Ashley said absolutely not, immediately freed her schedule for my wedding date and did not stop helping me along the way. Booking Ashley was more than just a day of service, she is an incredible business woman, is very organized, and genuinely cares about all her clients. Ashely’s talent and skill are impeccable and I felt absolutely stunning on my wedding day thanks to her and her wonderful team!

My husband and I absolutely adore Kristen. Trying to pick a photographer was an overwhelming decision for us due to the fact that there are so many different styles and we weren’t sure what we were looking for. But once we talked to Kristen on the phone we knew she was the perfect fit for us. Her energy over the phone was so infectious and made us excited to get in front of her camera. Our first time meeting her was at our engagement shoot. We decided to go with a sunrise beach session and Kristen showed up with energy and ready to capture our love. She was down to do any pose and was always hyping us up on how perfect our pictures were coming out. We had so much fun and were just able to relax and be ourselves. This all translated into the beautiful pictures we received from Kristen. From the time of our engagement shoot (July 2023) to our wedding (September 2024) Kristen was always checking in to see how we were doing and how excited she was to shoot our big day. It was so awesome to have constant check ins with her!! The day of our wedding (9/21/24) was so amazing thanks to Kristen. She was with us for majority of the day and always made sure to hype us all up and to make sure I knew I could take breaks from pictures at any time. All of our guests absolutely loved her as much as my husband and I do. 10/10 would recommend her for any photography services. She is amazing to work with, takes beautiful pictures, and is professional but also knows how to have a good time.

From start to finish, Willow Photo Co. was amazing to work with! My wife and I were married in 2020 with limited family present. For our 5 year anniversary we had a “re-wedding” with all our family and friends. So it was very important to us to pick the right team to capture this special day, and Willow fit perfectly! Ryan provided clear communication and explanation of all our photo/video options at our first consultation. Leading up to our wedding day, we met with Ryan again to go through the timeline and our desired photos. We felt 100% confident in the Willow team to capture our special day. Day of, Britt was our photographer and Ryan our videographer. Both of them were professional and fun, and made us feel comfortable and celebrated as an LGBTQ couple.

We can't say enough good things about Shane! From our very first conversation, I knew he was the perfect fit for our wedding. He was the first (and only) DJ we interviewed. He was easy to talk to and truly passionate about what he does. After our pre-wedding planning meeting, I remember thinking, "I nailed this vendor!" lol. On wedding day, he provided music for our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception, and even created a custom version of my aisle song by blending two tracks I loved! He kept everything running smoothly, handled all announcements effortlessly, read the room perfectly, and kept the vibe exactly where it needed to be all night long. We also rented his digital photobooth, which was a huge hit. It came with all photo accessories, and there was always a line every time I looked over. Out of all our vendors, Shane was hands-down our favorite. We thoroughly enjoyed working with him and couldn’t be happier with the role he played in making our day so memorable. If you're looking for a DJ who truly cares and delivers an unforgettable experience, Shane is your guy!

We hosted both our rehearsal dinner and our wedding at the Galilee Beach Club, and it was everything we hoped for and more. Honestly, we didn’t even know we wanted a beach club wedding when we started planning—we just knew we wanted Narragansett beach vibes. As soon as we saw this venue, we knew it was the perfect fit. The food was incredible. From the very start, the tasting event gave us such a fun preview, and it only got better on the actual wedding weekend. Our guests are still talking about how delicious everything was! We also decided to book our florals through the venue, and that was such a smart choice—the arrangements were stunning and perfectly matched the vibe we wanted, all without the stress of juggling another vendor. A huge shoutout goes to Emily, who was with us every step of the way. She answered countless questions, kept in touch with multiple email check-ins, and made sure every detail was thought of. On the wedding day itself, she was a total rockstar—calm, attentive, and making sure everything ran seamlessly. Even when a light drizzle came through, she and the team handled it effortlessly and kept the energy high. The rest of the staff was equally amazing. Everyone was so professional, kind, and genuinely fun to be around—it made the whole weekend feel so comfortable and celebratory. And of course, the venue itself is absolutely beautiful. We had about 100 guests, and having our ceremony right on the beach was the perfect mix of relaxed and romantic. The setting made for such a special backdrop, and it felt like the true Narragansett beach wedding we always envisioned (even before we realized we wanted a beach club!). We are beyond grateful we chose the Galilee Beach Club. From planning to the final sendoff, the entire experience was flawless. If you’re dreaming of a wedding with amazing food, incredible staff, and the most gorgeous beach setting, this is the place.

Awarded Best of Zola
Liza photographed our small intimate wedding. From the outset, she set out to make sure the day went smoothly and that we would get the best pictures possible on our special day. We explained to her that our wedding would consist of a very short ceremony and a dinner. The rest of the night would be some games and hanging out, but no dancing. Our original vision was to have her photograph the ceremony, group shots, and the dinner and skip couple portraits. After consulting with her, she recommended skipping the dinner photos (nobody looks good while eating) and photographing the ceremony, group shots, and, since our package left us with a remaining hour, plan for couple portraits before our ceremony. It was great advice and we're happy to have the couple portraits! On the day of she was very approachable and made us feel comfortable during our private session. She was clear when directing and arranging folks for the group photos. All of the pictures turned out great! I would definitely recommend Liza for any wedding or special occasion!

With our straight razor shaves, haircuts & styling, the groom and his party will be shining for the main event and photo shoots. We're great at tying bow ties and we won't forget the bourbon, cigars and music.

I was honestly feeling pretty stressed leading up to the big day, but the moment Christian and his team arrived, everything shifted. The setup was immaculate—the products were top-shelf, the presentation was elevated, and the full-body massage? Next level. I actually fell asleep on the table. Getting a deep, professional massage on the morning of your wedding should be the gold standard for every groom—it completely centered me and set the tone for the day. The shaves were perfect, the haircuts were crisp, and every single one of my guys looked 10/10. It turned what could’ve been a chaotic morning into an unforgettable experience. No exaggeration—after my wedding, every one of my engaged friends booked Doorbell Barbers for their own.

Joey G is like my cool uncle except he’s got sick DJ skills. He did our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. Not only was he professional and organized, but he also brought an incredible energy to our wedding. For the ceremony and cocktail hour, we provided him with a specific music selection, and even though we never rehearsed together, he nailed it perfectly. During the reception, we gave him a playlist, and he struck the perfect balance between sticking to our choices and reading the crowd to keep everyone dancing. One highlight was when Joey G handed the microphone to people in the crowd, turning our reception into an impromptu karaoke party. It was a blast! He was not only fun and engaging but also very attentive to our needs. He asked how to pronounce each name correctly for the toasts, ensuring everything went smoothly. We requested that he not take song requests, and he respected our wishes completely. The sound quality was stellar, and his equipment setup was flawless. Joey G understood our need for clean music as we had many families with young children attending, yet he still kept the atmosphere lively and fun. The dance floor was packed with all 150 guests! Joey G was also a great help with announcements, coordinating toasts, and working with friends and family to announce the newlyweds and photo groups. His flexibility and attention to detail were impressive. Overall, I highly recommend Joey G to any couple looking for an awesome wedding DJ. He provided a questionnaire that made the whole planning process so easy, and his execution was simply fantastic. Joey G truly made our wedding day unforgettable!

Gorgeous flowers and easy to work with for our last minute August 2020 microwedding! Jamie listened to the ideas my mom and I had and totally over-delivered! We used the arrangements again the following day for an after party with friends, and everything was still just as pretty. Thank you for everything!

Love by the ocean co. delivers a style of photography that is a blend of romantic, timeless, and editorial elements, designed to beautifully capture the raw love and connection that couples share. I focus on telling the unique story of each wedding day, preserving genuine emotions and intimate moments in an elegant and heartfelt way. By creating an atmosphere where couples feel entirely at ease, I allow them to forget the presence of the camera and simply immerse themselves in the love they have for each other.

We cannot say enough great things about Love by the Ocean co. Nick truly collaborates with you to bring your vision to life and is truly so accommodating. He was always so quick to email or call me back if I had any questions or concerns. Nick made the whole process so easy and comfortable. He did our engagement photos and our wedding photos and we couldn’t be happier with how they came out. His editing style is incredible. It feels natural yet enhanced. His way with light is incredible. We really couldn’t be happier with the experience love by the ocean co provided nor the quality of work we received. If we ever need a photographer again, we will most certainly be calling Love by the Ocean co again!

Alex and the staff are extremely professional and made our wedding day stress free and fun. From the call with Alex to go over details to the actual wedding day, he thinks of every necessary detail! Without him, our wedding would not have been the fun party that it was and we are so happy he was such a big part of our day. Highly recommend!!!

Lover of those in-betweens, laughter, and timeless moments. I’m here for it all! Let me help you capture them! Whenever you look back at your images I want you to remember the experience – the way he almost dropped you in that one photo because you were laughing that hard – or the time they gave you rapid-fire kisses up the side of your cheek. Basically – let me third wheel you and capture all the love you have for each other.

Tatiana was amazing! We were so nervous going into the shoot since we both have never been in front of a professional camera but she made it soooo easy and positioned us perfectly! The day of our shoot was FREEZING and super windy but Tatiana had a blanket for me to wear in between shots and was extremely positive and sooo patient the whole time! After seeing the engagement shoot photos I am SO EXCITED for her to do our wedding!
