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).

We were also able to visit her studio in person and rent candles which was a huge help. Overall working with Kate was so easy and stress free and she really has a knack for bringing a vision to life!

  • Photographer

  • Serves Waterbury, CT

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
Cate was an absolute dream to work with! She captured both our elopement wedding (10 guests at a beachside Airbnb in East Haven in early September) and a 1-hour couples’ photoshoot (early morning at the Yale campus in mid-October 2024). We couldn't have asked for a better experience! Her incredible skill, warm demeanor, and attention to detail truly set her apart. We spoke with many prospective photographers before deciding, but we just couldn’t look away from working with Cate after going through her brilliant portfolio and speaking with her on Zoom. Cate made us feel comfortable in front of the camera. She has an amazing ability to put you at ease, making the entire process natural and fun. The photos she took are some of our absolute favorites. We love how she captured our families, wedding ceremony, and couple photos with so much emotion and authenticity! One of the standout things about Cate is how prolific she is. She took and shared a delightfully ridiculous number of photos with us—over 2–3 photos per minute! Every single shot was excellently curated and edited, showcasing her skills as both a photographer and storyteller. Cate went above and beyond, even while balancing personal challenges during her busiest season, to deliver a stunning gallery that exceeded all our expectations. She was also kind and thoughtful in all her communications with us and incredibly generous while photographing us for several minutes after our scheduled time had ended. We wholeheartedly recommend Cate to anyone looking for a wedding or portrait photographer! She is immensely talented, professional, and a joy to work with. We not only found our go-to photographer for all our future needs, but also a kind friend through this process. Thank you, Cate, for capturing the most precious moments of our lives so beautifully—we are so grateful for your skill and compassion!

Her suggestions turned out even better than I imagined. Tracy’s professionalism and passion for her craft was evident throughout the process.

Awarded Best of Zola
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!

We ask lots of questions to make sure we are a good fit for each other and because we care to know you as a person and all of the things that make you you!

Marissa was amazing from our first FaceTime consultation before our engagement shoot. After seeing her beautiful work first hand, we knew we would have to have her for our wedding day. She was easy to communicate with through the entire process and seemed genuinely excited to be working with us. She responded promptly to any text we sent and made sure she captured everything we wanted. For our wedding day, we hired a second shooter (Sam) who was just as great. Both girls arrived early to help take pictures getting ready. They were fun and easygoing, and never made us feel awkward with posed pictures. They made sure to get every shot we requested. And get this - Marissa pulled me aside DURING the reception and already had incredible sneak peeks for me to see! Her turn-around time was faster than we could have ever imagined and everyone can't stop talking about how breathtaking our light and airy photos came out! Will definitely be using Marissa/Wonderland for all of our important life events, and recommending her to everyone we know!

Scenic, because we love beautiful landscapes and love to incorporate everyone in such environments. Inspirational, because there is always a new way or a new idea to capture a photo but in the end it's capturing that special moment.

I wish we had found them sooner! They were prompt, clean, efficient and the drinks were delicious.

I will 100% be going to her again! Nina did such a beautiful job on my hair. I have naturally very straight, thick, and silky hair which can be difficult to work with. My hair often does not hold a curl or like to stay in place but she did an amazing job. My hair stayed throughout the whole night and was absolutely beautiful. She did exactly what I had asked for and could not have been happier with the results.

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.

My husband and I are awkward and hate taking pictures but it was a breeze and the pictures are gorgeous.

Awarded Best of Zola
We found RS Event Co. through a friend and are so glad we did! The Month-Of Coordination package offered us just what we wanted as we were looking for someone to handle the day of details to allow our family to enjoy the big day. And while Raquel did handle the smaller details, she also did so much more. From day one, she was professional, supportive and detail oriented, quickly becoming someone we could rely on and ask questions to. She made herself available for not only calls with vendors, but in-person meetings, ensuring our questions were heard and our vision was being brought to life. On the day of the wedding, Raquel struck the perfect balance of being supportive and discreet and after the event, I kept telling friends and family that I felt like everything went perfectly! I know that’s a testament to all the hard work Raquel put in to ensure my husband and I had the best day. She anticipated our needs before we had to ask and went above and beyond in areas that we didn’t even know we’d need until the big day (an example being driving guests from our reception to the parking lot in the venue’s golf cart). These feelings don’t just apply to myself and my husband as my parents have also expressed their gratitude for everything she did. We were all able to be present the entire day because of Raquel and that was truly a gift! For anyone considering a wedding coordinator, please reach out to Raquel! She will immediately jump in to help wherever she can while also being your personal cheerleader.
