Anchored Roots Photography

New London, CT
  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,695

It's so nice to meet you! I was born and raised in New Jersey (a.k.a. I didn't pump my own gas until I moved to Connecticut 8 years ago)! Fueled by caffeine, I love discovering adorable coffee shops, supporting farm-to-table restaurants, and traveling anywhere and everywhere. Although I love exploring quaint towns across New England, I spend most days with my husband, 7-year-old daughter, our two Labradoodles, and cat! They take up most of my camera roll because they are just so darn cute.

My husband and I loved working with Sarah from Anchored Roots. Your wedding photographer is someone who will be with you during the entire event so you want to make sure it is someone your comfortable with and that you trust. Sarah is 100% the person you want with you on your wedding day. I'm generally an anxious person but Sarah made me feel at ease, not just in front of the camera but also generally throughout the day. She was able to quickly build good relationships with my family and friends and that led to a lot of natural and fun photos. Also, her photography style and editing style were exactly what I was looking for. Even a year later, I still constantly look at the photos she took.

Jeff was amazing! My husband and I got married at the Branford House in Groton CT July 2025 and hired Jeff to take care of all our music and sound for our ceremony and cocktail hour. He was so professional and easy to work with. It was so important to me that everyone could clearly hear our ceremony as it was outside in a large space and he crushed it!

Jen was AMAZING to work with! When it came to flowers for my wedding, I had NO IDEA what I wanted. She was very patient with me and helped talk me through my vision. She gave me flowers to pick from, talked about how big I wanted my bouquet and how much greenery I wanted, and then when I could find colors I liked in swatches, she color-matched the colors I wanted from an inspo pic I found online! She was very professional and patient with me, even when my plans changed or I needed to add to my order.  I am not the best at putting together a bouquet. I am also someone who likes control, especially when it came to planning my wedding. I was thankful that I was able to give Jen the reins, tell her what I wanted, and watch her make my dreams come true. When I first saw my flowers, I was speechless. She truly did make my floral dreams come true, and now I get to keep my bouquet for the rest of my life! A wooden flower bouquet from Jen is the way to go!

Every step of the way this team took such good care of us as a couple and guided us in the direction of the BEST people to work with. We had the pleasure of planning a majority of the wedding with Allie - who let me tell you, is INCREDIBLE. She is the absolute sweetest and has such an eye for detail (while always keeping budget in mind), she made the whole planning experience so easy and fun! As for day of - we could not have been more taken care. Mary was our day of coordinator and took care of EVERYTHING. She always was checking in with me, calming me down, offering food or drinks to keep me comfortable - it felt like another friend there to make sure nothing went wrong. Not to mention - she bustled my dress for me!!! Eddy was a HUGE part of our day when it came to food - he made sure we ate everything and even delivered food directly to us at times!! Our day would not have been the same without them there. As for the entire wedding experience - it was an absolute dream, everything about it was perfect. The food was out of this world incredible & they were able to accommodate to my Celiac and almost everything was made gluten free (and allergy friendly for certain guests). The bartenders were kind enough to learn guests names and drinks and treated everyone like family. We truly had the wedding of our dreams at The Barns - could not have had a better experience from start to finish.

We could not have been happier to have Victoria on our team for our July 2024 wedding! We hired Victoria for wedding day management. She went above and beyond throughout our planning process and made us feel like we were her top priority, even though we know she works with many couples throughout the wedding season. Her organization, attention to detail, and patience are unmatched. The BEO that she creates for the wedding day was so informative and detailed and brought so much joy to this Type A bride! During planning, I was struggling with the color scheme and table design for the reception. Victoria came to my rescue and helped design our table scapes and handled all correspondence with the rentals company. The outcome was absolutely stunning and I could not have been happier. Similarly, I did not know how to go about creating the timeline for our transportation and wedding day. Victoria provided this for us and it was seamless and so easy. Our family and wedding party were so impressed with how she ran our wedding rehearsal. On the wedding day itself, she made sure that the day flowed smoothly. From collecting and setting up all of our day-of details, orchestrating the flow of our wedding ceremony, and even bustling my wedding dress, she was involved in every aspect of our day and ensured that it was perfect. My husband and I could relax and be fully present knowing that Victoria had everything under control. I cannot recommend Victoria and Everlasting Affairs highly enough!

Our wedding was everything we could have hoped for and dreamed about thanks to the CT Wedding Group and The Pavilion on Crystal Lake. The entire team was so responsive, understanding, and truly remarkable. Our day of wedding coordinator Mary Schilling was unbelievable. She treated us like royalty, she asked about and understood our family dynamics right away, she had drinks for us at the end of the aisle and food for us in the bridal suite and anticipated our needs before we could even ask for anything. HIGHLY recommend. The wait staff was incredible, and our guests simply cannot stop raving about the food - even 7 months later. Our ceremony was on the property with sparkling lights and just absolutely magical. My father had passed away just over a month before our wedding, and yet they had so so many beautiful little touches to bring his spirit into our special day. I could not recommend this venue or team any more!!!

Hey there! I'm Meghan, the founder of HairstylesCo! Want to know a little about how it all started? As a kid growing up in the 90s, barbies, Polly pocket, basically any doll that allowed you to customize the hairstyle…you name it, I had it. Picture this tiny girl holding a barbie styling head, running as fast as her 7 year old nugget legs would carry her. All to show her mom the “twist braid” hairstyle she spent hours “creating”. Guess you could say I knew my path all along…Fast forward to hair school, 15 years ago. First day-I knew I was in the right place! Now to describe my style-I'd rather give you a visual.

Meghan did an incredible job on my wedding day!! She was attentive to all the different hairstyles my bridesmaids and my mom and my mother-in law asked for. She did multiple touch ups to make sure everyone looked the way they wanted to on the way out the door, and she did not stop until everyone was happy with their look! I changed my mind from my trial after seeing one of my bridesmaid's style, and Meghan adapted quickly! My hair stayed in place the whole wedding night and everyone commented on how beautiful it looked. You want to hire Meghan because of her skill but also her reliability. She was prompt and timely, and anyone who has planned a wedding knows how many moving pieces there are and how hard it can be to find someone reliable and talented and that's exactly who Meghan is!

They used my pinterest board to truly create the bouquets of my dreams. Everyone in the reception were commenting on the table florals as well. Zoe and Gabby were so easy to work with. I had a ton of questions about different options such as bud vases vs. compote bowls, hanging florals, arch florals and more. They were both so patient with me while I figured out what I wanted. I also changed my vision from when we first spoke and they were so easy about the changes. I really loved supporting a local, women owned business. I also loved that all of the flowers were grown locally. I couldn't recommend Sterling Flower Farm enough.

The only thing we would have liked is if he had taken more photos of us with our wedding party and our children, I am honestly a bit bummed about that. However, I suppose I should have paid closer attention to that to ensure that was done. Overall, we are thrilled with the memories Tony helped us preserve from our wedding day. We highly recommend ALM Photography to any couple looking for an experienced, talented, and customer-focused photographer.

We were so grateful for Kelli’s kitchen at our wedding! They did an amazing job making sure all of our wants were met. They helped with beyond catering and helped us keep on our reception schedule, cleaned up everything and we even paid a small fee and they broke down all the tables and chairs! We still get compliments on the food served and the service itself! Kelli’s kitchen helped us enjoy our wedding day a little extra with the delicious food and peace of mind!

I was born and raised in the smallest little state, Rhode Island! With that comes a huge appreciation for the coast and a realization that magic can be found in even the smallest of details. Growing up in a small town where time seems to go by slower helped me learn the value of genuine connections which have now become apart of who I am.

We are SO glad we worked with Bri! From start to finish she was supportive, communicative, and onboard with our elopement. My husband and I are not comfortable in front of the camera and she made it so easy to get beautiful photos! I let Bri use her artistic vision to get a lot of our photos, and I am so happy I did. Her and Lucas were fabulous - and essential to keeping our elopement as quiet as possible. I will definitely be reaching out to Bri if we ever need any other photos done! Thank you so so much for capturing our day!!

Hi! My name is Wendy and I am the owner, head designer and founder of Wendy Clare Designs. I am a mom of two, who loves the sea and all things coastal, beautiful things, as well as upcycling. In my shop, which I founded in 2022, I have combined all three of these passions. I have always loved working with my hands, and am so happy to now be able to make beautiful things for you, your event and your home my full time career (after some unsatisfying ones as a lawyer and teacher).

Wendy worked with me on a large custom order for my rehearsal dinner. I made several changes to the design and quantity and she was super responsive and helpful throughout. The oysters came out so cute and we got multiple comments about the craftsmanship and detail. They also arrived on time and undamaged despite ordering very close to the event date. Don’t hesitate to work with Wendy to make your design come to life, this was my favorite detail from my wedding weekend. Thanks for making it possible!
