Self-proclaimed plant nerds, we are two kick a** horticulturists who met in the public garden world and have carved a place for ourselves in the floral biz. Weddings are our jam. With the creative process at the heart of all we do, hands-on service is an understatement. From day one to day-of, we got you. Plan, design, deliver- cross them off the list.

Your big day is our big day at nectar&bloom. Trust the process and we’re in!

10/10 - absolutely loved working with this small, local, women-owned business. Lisa & Ann Marie were great communicators from the start. We had several meetings leading up to the wedding and they were extremely organized and brought our vision to life. They worked within our budget and their designs are beautiful. I don't have any photos of the guys' boutonnieres yet - but I was obsessed with them!! They also stayed on-site so we can repurpose all of our ceremony florals at our reception.

We are boutique photographers that are for the clients and couples that value photography but also value being present in their day. Your wedding is not a day of photos, we come to take photos of your day. Every package is custom to each client as your experience with us is exclusive to you.

Awarded Best of Zola
Words cannot adequately describe how amazing, flawless, and special our experience was. From day one, Stephanie's professionalism, eye for detail, true love for photography, and desire to capture the essence of our love story was very clear. Although we are a bit further from Stephanie (eastern MA residents), she committed to coming to southern CT to meet us for our engagement shoot and then to central MA for our wedding. When we were surprised by a pop up thunderstorm right before our ceremony on the big day, Stephanie acted not just as our photographer but as a friend and helped us navigate the nerves and emotions of the change from outdoor to indoor ceremony. Her photos are exactly what we were looking for. When we view them, we are transported right back to that day, and every emotion, every hug, every sentimental moment is there for us to cherish. We HIGHLY recommend Stephanie and her beautiful photography and plan to work with her for many more years to come.

Jaclyn and her team truly went above and beyond for our 10/14/23 wedding. She understood my vision (colorful and fun but still fancy) perfectly, made thoughtful suggestions in areas that I hadn't considered or didn't have strong opinions on, and executed beyond my wildest dreams. We got compliments on the florals all night long, even from guys who informed us that "we don't normally notice this kind of thing". We were also so happy to know that all the flowers used were sourced locally. Not only does Hometown's seasonal-only and local-only approach fit the things we believe in, but the reality that certain flowers just don't grow in October allowed us to let go the decision of choosing specific blooms which you have to make with other florists. As a bride who is NOT a natural planner herself, this alleviated SO MUCH decision fatigue and truly made the planning process fun. Not only did it make the process easier, it allowed me to focus on the big picture and actually enjoy the process. I felt 100% understood and taken care of every step of the way; she might actually have telepathic powers - that's how seen and understood I felt when I walked into the venue and saw the work the team did! They truly work magic with what nature has to offer, and anyone would be lucky to have Jaclyn and her Hometown Flower team design for them.

My husband is Malayali so we wanted to incorporate his traditions along with my catholic ones. So this involved MANY extra details including 3 outfit changes, choreographed dances, and complicated family photos in many locations. To pull this off I new I needed help the day of my wedding. Menaza took care of everything, I had complete trust in her, she handled everything so I could just enjoy my day.

She makes sure your day runs smoothly while capturing real, raw moments and makes the photo part "quick and painless" so you can get back to your family and friends to enjoy every detail put in to your event. We specialize in naturally lit and low lit weddings. Flash photography and studio lighting are used as necessary to create clean, artsy images.

Madison is the BEST! The second we met her and saw her in action, her insane natural talent and passion was so clear. As someone who does not love getting my photo taken, she made me feel so comfortable in front of the camera and I had so much fun taking our wedding photos. We are absolutely thrilled with the results and feel they are all pieces if art that will forever document the best day of our lives. Her presence and energy brought a chill vibe to the day. She had so many creative ideas for places to shoot that made the photos feel unique and special while capturing the vibe of our day so perfectly. Aside from the photos, Madison was super easy to work with, very accessible, straight to the point, and never gave us the runaround like other wedding vendors sometimes can. If you’re thinking of booking with Madison - do it, you won’t regret it!

With 3 make up artists and 2 hair stylists you may worry about consistency but each member of the team is so talented, you cannot even tell who did which girl. We started at about 9am and by 6pm for the ceremony everyone’s hair and makeup was perfectly in tact. This is a rare team who can deliver excellence on 12 different girls in a 5 hour period. I would seriously consider them for your wedding/bridal shower or event.

Hello there! My name is Brittany and I am so glad you stopped by! I will be the one answering your late night emails, making you laugh during your engagement session, pulling teasers within hours of seeing you, and documenting every precious moment during your wedding day. I have been fantasizing about my own wedding day since I was about three years old and continue to be just as excited about everything wedding related today. I am a crazy cat lady, soon to be wife, and absolute Office fanatic.

Britt Lee Photography was an absolute joy to work with for our wedding. Britt's communication style was friendly, professional, sweet, and extremely organized throughout the planning process, which put us at ease during an often stressful time. On the wedding day itself, Britt literally coordinated all of our vendors and kept everything running smoothly and on time, making it feel effortless for us. I honestly think she could have a side business as a wedding coordinator! As for her photography, the quality of Britt's work is simply amazing - vibrant, detailed, and timeless. She perfectly captured the love and joy we felt on our special day in a way we'll now get to relive forever. I cannot recommend Britt Lee Photography highly enough. If you're looking for a photographer for your wedding or special event that will deliver incredible photos while also making the day stress-free and fun, look no further and book Britt!

At 18, with no experience at all, Cristina attended her first “off the-guest-list” wedding, as a photographer’s assistant. Since then, she has been romantically and brazenly addicted to weddings! Following that passion with a balance of intention and fate as a private planner, Cristina graduated from the Stern School of Business in 2014 with an experienced eye for Event Design. In 2018, she established Planned by Cristina Capone, a luxury wedding & event design company. We value comfort. Our tone is always polite, helpful, and kind.

  • Videographer
  • Cinematic style
  • Serves Bay Shore, NY

The first time I picked up a video camera I was 10 years old making home movies in my basement with friends. Today, I enjoy capturing everything from weddings to overseas adventures while still having that excitement of storytelling I had when I was a kid. I create timeless wedding videos by capturing the experience of marriage in an authentic way. My videos are inspired by real moments, emotions and people.

Like many 2020 brides, my husband and I postponed our large wedding reception until next year and held a small ceremony and dinner on our original date. Craig was recommended by our photographer for our original date and we also knew we wanted to have him for our small ceremony. Craig is the nicest guy and literally always had a smile on his face. (And I could tell even with a mask on the whole time! He smiles with his eyes!). Not only did the day move flawlessly, Craig sent us our ceremony and first look footage within 1 week of our wedding. He also edited and sent us our highlight video in less than 2 weeks! He did an incredible job and we are so happy we had him there to capture our amazing day. I have watched the highlight video so many times and it will be treasured forever. We can’t wait to have him there for our larger reception next year.
