James was so easy to work with and very accommodating to our desires for our wedding. He was communicative, thoughtful, and professional. We had several meetings prior to the wedding and we really appreciated how James listened to our needs, as well as introduced ideas and suggestions of his own- true collaboration! The whole experience really put our minds at ease. We chose a very rustic setting and James was able to capture the essence and feeling beautifully in his photos. He had great ideas for staged photos, and has a good eye for natural, unscripted shots. At no time did we feel nervous or overwhelmed, and we couldn’t have been more pleased with the results!

Nestled in the picturesque valley of the Green Mountains, this restored rustic barn in Southern Vermont served as the perfect backdrop for my recent birthday party with 50 of my friends and family. The venue owners, Lauren and Trent, with their warmth and exceptional hospitality, made the entire experience seamlessly delightful. From the moment we stepped foot onto the property, we were enchanted by the charm and elegance of the surroundings. The barn itself exuded rustic charm with its exposed wooden beams and twinkling lights, creating an ambiance that felt both intimate and magical. Whether you're planning a wedding or any special event, this venue is a hidden gem waiting to make your dreams come true. Highly recommend it to anyone seeking a memorable and enchanting experience in the heart of Vermont's beauty.

Swoyer Photography 

5.0

  • Photographer
  • Serves Manchester Center, VT

I love what I do. I found my way to professional photography in a roundabout way, having started my working career as a marine scientist and environmental educator in CA and then on Maui. After years immersed in the ocean and hundreds of hours spent underwater, I realized that I was happiest on days when I could adventure freely with a camera in hand. The drive to learn more and become a better photographer lead me back to school on the east coast, where I ended up finding a new dream career and a home and community that I love.

Laura stood out to us from the moment we got in touch with her. She put in significant effort to learn about us and our specific vision for our wedding. In addition to ironing out of all of the details for our wedding day, Laura prioritized getting to know us personally, which made for a great experience before and during the day itself. The wedding itself didn't have a strict schedule, and our families had a lot of requests for her day-of. Laura was energized, professional, and efficient throughout the entire day, moving back and forth between indoor and outdoor settings multiple times (including multiple shots in the rain!) and giving great feedback on how to make sure we got the photos we wanted. The photos themselves are fantastic and we couldn't be happier with the final product. Some of our favorites feature our dog, who Laura, a dog lover herself, recognized as a member of our family and made sure was included as much as we wanted. If we ever need a photographer again in the VT area we know who we're calling!

  • Serves Manchester Center, VT

Greetings! My name is Mike Cutler, born and raised in Vermont. I fell in love with theatre and film in high school and decided to pursue those passions in life, graduating from Full Sail University with a degree in Film. Filming weddings kind of fell in my lap, and ever since I covered my first wedding in 2009, I fell in love with crafting films that the couple love! Couples have said they were so happy to choose to have film as it really brings their day to life beyond the staple of photography. I hope I get the chance to work with you to help bring your day to life for years to come! :)

Awarded Best of Zola
Mike's keen eye captured our wedding beautifully! (When showing our photos to an artist friend, his work was praised for its balance in composition and how it makes the viewer feel.) To our untrained eye and zero modeling experience, Mike made it feel natural and we LOVED the results. We were laid back in our approach to the whole wedding planning and Mike was able to match that feel - he knew what would work (and not) and he was never overbearing. We are confident that he will be able to match any organizational style. Now that it's all said and done, we have a terrific collection of memories to last a lifetime!

Today is our three month wedding anniversary and we are still talking about how perfect our wedding was, with a huge part of that due to The Hermitage Inn. The team at The Hermitage made the entire process easy, calming and fun and made the weekend lovely, memorable and perfect. Gina was with us from moment one and was a constant professional who was warm, non-judgemental and available whenever needed. She made sure the day of went on without a hitch and took care of all the big and small details, making sure we didn’t need to worry about anything. I was very specific about wanting to start hair and make up later in the day and Gina adjusted the schedule and made sure I had my morning to myself. During the weekend Mercer, Jan, Sarah, Katia and so many others, along with Gina, made it the best weekend with all of our guests saying the same thing. From the rehearsal dinner, breakfasts in the morning, bar service and, of course, the big event, it was all excellent, personal and thoughtful. Location and venue wise The Hermitage was again, perfect. The property and inn are beautiful, luxurious and luscious. It was incredible to have the entire inn to ourselves with our closest family and friends. The carriage house was a perfect home base to not only get ready in but to have drinks at and to have a little welcome event for just those staying at the inn on Thursday night. I have pictures of my parents and aunts and uncles sitting on the porch telling stories which I will cherish forever. The grounds were beautiful for the wedding and even though the rehearsal dinner, ceremony, cocktail hour and reception were at the same venue- each part of the weekend felt unique and intentional as the venue offers so many options. Its been fun to look at the other weddings that have happened since ours on Instagram because not one of them have looked similar. That must be the magic of The Hermitage Inn and Gina, as they truly allow you to bring your own wedding to life. Can’t wait to come back for a weekend and reminisce. My aunts and parents also fell in love with the venue and are planning a trip up the winter.

We had the privilege of being the first wedding at Retreat Farm and they knocked it out of the park. The venue itself was gorgeous and the scenery was absolutely perfect for our fall wedding. The new barn was beautifully done and spacious enough for all of our guests. Sam and Jen were the dream team when it came to preparing for the day in advance and for taking the stress off my shoulders the day of. I went into my day prepared to be bombarded with questions and stressed with scheduling but Sam and Jen handled everything for us. I cannot express for grateful I am to have found this wonderful venue and for the support and positivity that came from the staff. Also huge shoutout to Pete the bartender everyone loved you!!

Our family and friends are still raving about the venue (and food, and alpacas) almost a year later. Amie is a dream to work with. She is responsive, makes helpful suggestions, and brings a calm to the entire process. There's a lot of flexibility offered, but we also very much appreciated guidance on how a typical package or wedding went at the Inn (they've thought of everything). You feel welcomed and at ease in this beautiful space. Looking back, I can't emphasize enough how important it is to have such a helpful team be part of the venue.

Tiffany was absolutely amazing to work with! She is kind and extremely talented. I wish I could do my wedding all over again so I could work with her! She was very professional in booking, scheduling and her business contract. She gave me a schedule for make up on the wedding day so I did not have to make it. The make up she used felt natural and lasted well past the reception and still looked amazing at the after party. I do not normally wear any make up (just moisturizer), her make up was light and natural, I did not feel like it was thick or heavy at any time. 10/10 definitely book her, she will make you the most beautiful bride on your wedding day!

My wife and I were meant to get married in 2020 in Wales, but the pandemic squashed our plans, years in the making. We were devastated. It was quickly made clear that an international wedding was out of the question for the foreseeable future, so we redirected our search closer to home. After a few months of truly disheartening searching, we were directed towards Scott Farm. Really as soon as we pulled into the parking lot we were in love. It is nestled inside of rolling hills and the land is covered in beautiful orchards and picturesque white buildings. It was like a scene out of a movie--and it really was, as Good Will Hunting was filmed there! The process of planning the wedding with the staff at Scott Farm was truly seamless. Simon was kind, patient, and helpful, leading us through all the specifications and details of the site, and making himself available if we ever had any questions or concerns. And Jaja was a rock star--she went above and beyond in every aspect of her duties, especially on the wedding day. Without her calm and confident presence, trouble shooting problems and reassuring an anxious bride and groom, the day would not have gone so perfectly. I can't say enough about how supportive, pleasant, and wonderful everyone is at Scott Farm. If you are planning a wedding or an event of any kind, do it at Scott Farm!

Flower Moxie – Do-It-Yourself Wedding Flowers

  • Florist
  • Starts at $350

In 2013, 8-year wedding veteran Amy McCord Jones realizes she wouldn't be able to afford to hire her own floral services if she was a bride. Then, Amy discovers that there is basically zero help available for DIY brides. No flower recipes. No instructions. No access to florist-grade blooms. Rude. So she launches Flower Moxie! Flower Moxie remains a humble, tucked-away small business out of Oklahoma City. We don’t zoom around on scooters in some fancy high-rise. We stock an average kitchen with canned wine and Aldi chips and listen to true crime podcasts while photographing curvy ranunculus. Join us. There’s cake, hugs, and acceptance here.

I ordered the "peaches and cream" small package. We decided to skip on ceremony florals, and only have handhelds and bud vases at the reception. We did buy a few more flowers from the grocery to add more peach once the flowers arrived. We made and medium sized bridal bouquet, 4 bridesmaids bouquets, 3 corsages, and 7 bouts. (With lots of flowers left over). My bridesmaids and I did the arranging the morning before the wedding; it was fun, and a great start to the weekend. None of us had experience, but it all turned out great! If you or your bridal party are mildly crafty, I'd highly recommend it!

I couldn’t be happier with my experience working with Ali! She reached out to me on Zola and I am so glad she did. I was impressed with her portfolio and I really loved seeing how she would capture little moments in the weddings she had done. We set up a video call before booking and we clicked. She is very calm and helped with my pre-wedding nerves. She worked with us on a payment plan and she was always very quick to respond to any of my questions. She really listened to what we wanted. She got to the venue early to scout out different shots and came to check in with me a couple of times before we even began taking photos, which I did not expect but was very sweet and considerate of her. When we were taking photos, she really helped to guide the more “posed” photos but she also captured a lot of beautiful candid moments. We had so many guests come up to us and compliment her and that was before we even got the photos back. She sent us our sneak peeks the next day and I couldn’t be more thrilled with the results. She captured so many beautiful moments and her style is exactly what we wanted. Nothing felt “overly edited” just perfectly genuine. I cannot recommend Ali enough. I cannot wait to see the full gallery of photos because I know they will be nothing short of perfect.

Our family has known Rob Spring for almost 15 years, all the way back to when he volunteered to photograph the Saratoga Spring High School Drama Club. He blew us away, so we then hired him to do my senior photos! We knew he was an exceptional photographer then - but seeing his company grow over the years has proven that he is truly a step above every other photographer in the area! Hiring him and his team for our wedding was a no brainer and we are so glad we did. Rob is not only an excellent, technically proficient photographer - he is truly an artist! His team is top notch - organized, kind, funny and helpful. Our concerns about uncertain weather and large unruly family photos quickly dissipated - Rob and his team are true professionals who know Saratoga venues like the back of their hand. They made everyone so comfortable and kept us smiling and laughing the entire day. Once the dust had settled, seeing the sneak peek photos a couple days later completely blew our mind! Our photos are more than we could've ever hoped for and truly captured the joy, love and beauty of that day. We've had friends from around the country inquire about Rob after seeing those photos - they are on a completely different level in terms of quality. If this review doesn't make it clear enough - hire Rob and his team. You will have absolutely no regrets.

The day of, her process was so smooth and seamless - we felt so comfortable around her and she vibed PERFECTLY with our photo team.

Would (and already have) highly recommend Amanda to anyone getting married. You will not regret it!

Awarded Best of Zola
Kaitlin is amazing to work with. As a photographer who has done weddings myself, I had high standards and specific requests that weeded out a lot of people during my search. Kaitlin immediately stood out to me as someone with the ability to capture the essence of a couple. As I browsed her galleries I felt like I knew the couples and their stories by the time I was done. My wife and I are very introverted, shy, and not used to being the center of attention — let alone in front of a camera. After consulting with Kaitlin it was even more clear that she was the perfect photographer for us. Kaitlin listened to our requests, asked us questions to get a better understanding of what sort of coverage we’d like, and checked in multiple times leading up to the wedding day to go over plans. On the day of, Kaitlin was incredible. She set her flash units up perfectly to give a beautiful sense of lighting to our indoor pictures. Kaitlin was quick and professional with our family formals without feeling like she was rushing anyone. We love our newlywed portraits, largely due to how natural it felt to work with her—again this was huge for us as two people who are a bit camera shy. Our reception photos are equally beautiful, she captured meaningful candid moments without feeling like she was standing between us and the moments happening around us. If you’re like my wife and me and aren’t used to being on camera, I would 100% recommend booking a practice session with Kaitlin either for engagement photos or couples’ photos. As a photographer I’m used to being behind the camera and not in front of it. She helped us feel comfortable and it also helped her see how we interact together as a couple. At no point did we feel like Kaitlin was commandeering our schedule to check off boxes on a shot-list. She was seamlessly integrated everything. Genuinely, I cannot recommend Kaitlin enough. Working with her is like having a best friend there take your wedding photos.

Grace was just amazing. For a day that was overwhelming and very stressful, I cannot thank her enough for her calm and kindness. My now husband and I are usually not "photo people", as we tend to be more introverts than anything else, and she went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable. Her professionalism and guidance during the shoot can be described as more than stellar. I will definitely recommend her to all of my friends who will be getting married soon. During all the chaos, I was extremely thankful to have chosen her as our photographer.
