Our Story
As friends and family got engaged, Lizzy Polden, a seasoned New York City Fashion Stylist, was asked to apply the same love and attention given on fashion photo shoots to their wedding celebrations. After helping her loved ones and saving the day, time after time, it was then that she came to realize just how much all brides need the same attention and expertise only a fashion stylist can provide.
With the vision of helping a wedding day flow as peaceful as possible, Agency 8 was created. A team of expert fashion stylists Lizzy exclusively hand selected, based on their talents and expertise, was brought together.
