Stephanie Anestis Photography 

5.0

Guilford, CT
  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,500

Hi, I'm Stephanie! I specialize in backyard weddings and small celebrations. I connect best with couples who might include their dog in the ceremony, make their day uniquely theirs, and don't sweat the small stuff. A jar of wildflowers is as interesting to me as a perfectly crafted orchid bouquet. I love documenting the small moments and details, and I see beauty everywhere on a wedding day. My face always hurts from smiling so much on my drive home! I know how to take charge for posed portraits (and always do some!) but I prefer to capture moments as they happen. I've been a photographer full-time for over fifteen years.

Awarded Best of Zola
Stephanie is a wonderful photographer. From the first moment I contacted her to receiving my pictures and Wedding book, I had a such a wonderful experience. Stephanie has an ability like no other. Her presence is one that brings you a calmness, which on your wedding day you will appreciate! When I look at my wedding pictures, I can still smell the fragrance of the food we ate, the emotions I was feeling, and the way the sun and air felt on my face. Stephanie did that. She captured all those little things that are so important and magical. If my house had more walls they would be filled with her photographs.

Love Byrd Events 

5.0

Guilford, CT
  • Planner
  • Offers 4 services
  • Starts at $700

I am Becca Byrd, owner and founder of Love Byrd events. I started Love Byrd after 10+ years of personal and professional event planning. I have spent the last decade in New Haven working as an event planner for a large university as well as serving on governing boards of a variety of local non-profits. I have worked on conferences, fundraisers, concerts, parties, bar/bat mitzvahs, corporate meetings, weddings and much more. I have loved crafting a vision while simultaneously working on all of the tiny details to make that happen.

For our 2019 Wedding at The Lace Factory in Deep River, Connecticut, working with Love Byrd Events was a collaborative and thoughtful experience from start to finish. As a couple planning a wedding across the country, we couldn't be at the venue throughout the planning process. Love Byrd Events stepped in, meeting with our venue ahead of time, confidently coordinating the logistics of our wedding, managing our guest list, and handling any unexpected issues that arose. We were impressed by their reliable and creative approach, as well as their meticulous attention to detail. Becca's professionalism and expertise truly contributed to making our wedding day special and stress-free. We are so grateful for their hard work and highly recommend their services to any couples planning their special day, especially those coordinating from afar.

Tyler Jordan Soucy Photography 
Guilford, CT
  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $6,500

Beautifully posed and produced images are great, but for me—especially when it comes to weddings—manufactured moments don’t carry the emotional heft that the occasion deserves. When I look back at photos from my life, it’s the candid moments—captured by and with close friends and family—that bring the memories and emotions flooding back, the ones that truly stick. That’s how I want your wedding photos to feel for the rest of your life. Starting out in street photography and behind-the-scenes work on film sets, I’ve always believed that the most significant moments a wedding photographer can capture are those untouched by their own influence.

The granddaughter of two gardeners, I have always felt a connection to the earth through the soil. When someone brings flowers into a room, something changes...an energy, an excitement! I love being able to bring that kind of beauty into peoples lives. I'm a small-town girl who enjoys anything that involves working with my hands from cooking to knitting. I'm a total animal lover (partial to dogs), a die-hard Grey's Anatomy fan, and I take my martinis extra dirty. When I'm not flowering in our studio in Milford, Connecticut, I'm mommin' to three amazing little boys (our dog Pippa and cat, Galaxy).

Awarded Best of Zola
When I first saw my wedding bouquet I was speechless! It was nothing like any other bouquet I had seen in the absolute best way! The flowers were gorgeous, vibrant, and truly unique, just like I wanted! Kate has such a keen ability to take inspiration photos, run with them, and create something incredibly gorgeous and in line with my vision. The florals she designed brought a lovely pop of color to our reception and pulled the natural look from the landscape into the space exactly like I envisioned. From little details like "snap-bracelet" corsages for the moms to a color-coordinating ribbon on the boutonnieres, Kate totally knocked it out of the park!

I am a Connecticut-based wedding and portrait photographer obsessed with candid moments, real emotion, and the connections between human beings. I strive to capture life as we actually live it: full of beauty and roughness, joy and struggle, extravagance and simplicity. When I photograph you, I’m not thinking about getting likes on social media. I’m thinking about what will make your heart grow three times its size. I’m thinking about what will make you ugly-cry, looking back. I’m thinking about you seeing how awesome and truly loved you are.

Awarded Best of Zola
This summer I had the pleasure of having Cate photograph my backyard micro wedding. She was great to work with and made sure to do meetings with us prior to the wedding to plan the photos we wanted and map out the timing of the day. This way it was an extremely smooth process for family photos prior and after the ceremony. Cate made the wedding photo experience so fun and the results were incredible! I couldn’t have asked for better photos. She got me a sneak peek within 24hrs and by 2-3 months our edited gallery was ready. Overall, our wedding moments wouldn’t be what they are without Cate’s amazing photos. I highly recommend her for your wedding.

Hey there! A little background information about me. My name is Aleksandra. I am 30 years old based in West Haven, CT. Makeup has always been a passion of mine, ever since I was little you could find me doing my mom, little sister, and grandma's hair and makeup. I always wanted a career in the industry but never thought it was attainable. Until I reached a point in my life where I decided to take a leap of faith pack my bags and drive down to Georgia where my older sister (a master MUA who owns her own agency) lives.

Aleksandra Artistry was an absolute dream to work with for my wedding day beauty. Their communication was continuous and incredibly helpful throughout the entire process - from our initial consultation to the day-of application. The quality of their work was truly amazing, transforming my look in a jaw-dropping way. Aleksandra ensured my makeup lasted all night and perfectly matched the vision I had in mind. She also gave me great pointers on how to prepare my skin and hair leading up to the big day. Aleksandra was punctual, took the time to go through all of our options realistically, and chose colors that were simply perfect - colors I never would have considered on my own. I couldn't recommend Aleksandra Artistry more highly for any bride looking for a true beauty pro to make them feel and look their absolute best on their wedding day.

I can’t even put into words how special my wedding was thanks to The Lake House (but I’m going to try lol). I found this location on Zola and when I contacted the owner, Paul, it was like speaking to an old friend even though we had never met before. He is so sincere and thoughtful and has the best tips and tricks for wedding planning. I never hired a wedding planner and I was a little overwhelmed in the beginning of my planning process but Paul was there every step of the way for me. He answered all my emails filled with dumb questions and he advised me in the best way. Carole, my wedding coordinator at the venue, was an absolute gem as well and made things so easy. My wedding was 11/16/24 (the last wedding of their season!) and I still have guests telling me how fantastic everything was. Especially the FOOD. I truly dream about the filet mignon and tiramisu we had about twice a week lol. I can’t say enough amazing things about this venue. I would have my next birthday party here just so I can see Paul and Carole again and eat more of the delicious food lol. The location is GORGEOUS and they truly made my wedding the best night of my entire life.

We hired Cork & Craft for our wedding and I'm really happy I choose them! Initially when I started to look for a vendor I was disappointed by the beer selection (the typical offerings were miller, coors, and bud) but I really prefer craft beer. Cork & Craft was able to procure Thimble Island beer for my wedding and I was thrilled! They also had great suggestions for wine and a passionfruit margarita mix that my guests really loved. I liked that the truck was all electric so you couldn't hear a motor running during the ceremony and throughout the night. It rained during my wedding and I was happy to see that while I was getting ready (dress, hair, makeup, etc.) they worked with my venue to be covered by two pop-ups. I'm so glad that everything was taken care of - it really relieved a lot of stress. Tara is extremely friendly, professional, and a great communicator. If I was planning my wedding again I would definitely hire her!

Lindsay was so amazing to work with! We hired her to do the flowers for our very small wedding, and the flowers were pretty much our only decor. Everything turned out so stunning. I only showed her a couple of inspiration/general ideas, and mostly told her that we just wanted bright seasonal (August) flowers, and to go ahead and do whatever she thought was best. We didn't have a set color palette since we didn't have a wedding party, so she really could choose whatever she wanted. This was the best decision I could have made because everything was even more beautiful than I could have imagined! Trust me, if you're not a picky bride, ask Lindsay to surprise you and you won't be disappointed!

The venue had a few hiccups, but overall we had a lovely reception there. The outdoor space was the highlight - truly gorgeous for photos. Communication on coordination was a bit spotty at times, but the maître d', Sergio, was a god send and stepped in to ensure things flowed smoothly. The food was phenomenal, as well! So many of our guests shared it was the best wedding food they’d ever had. We did have both our bridal attendants provided by the venue disappear on us shortly after we arrived, which was inconvenient since we would have paid for our own attendants if we knew that would be the case. While parts of the indoor space is dated, it worked out beautifully with some creative decor. When weighing everything in, the Woodwinds was a spectacular venue!

Carraway Beauty, LLC is an amazing experience! I absolutely love Monique! It’s more than just getting your makeup done or facial, it is a journey through self-care restoration. I am a huge advocate for self-care and I always make sure that I keep Monique booked on my calendar. I never book a photoshoot without making sure she has an available makeup appointment first lol. She is apart of my glam team for all of my business events. Always showing up on time with a smile and loving spirit. Monique is definitely the most loving, sweetest, and professional person I have worked with. She made sure that she prepared me for my wedding day, by encouraging skin care regiments, routine facials , and of course being my makeup artist on my special day. All I can say is book her, it’s more than just makeup. Every time I leave her studio I leave with a better sense of self along with a feeling of peace and relaxation.

They played everything we asked for. They dressed up for our Super Mario theme and even learned new music for it. We had guests say they were the best wedding band they’ve ever heard. Absolutely incredible.
