I learned photography 10+ years ago in the darkroom at my high school. From there, I was hooked. Fast-forward to being fresh out of college, in a new city, and needing new friends. I found an amazing group who also loved photography. We traveled abroad and across the country together, sharing our travel photos all over Instagram (which, had just become all the hype). That was all it took for my first couple to ask me to photograph their wedding. I'm now a full-time hybrid wedding photographer!

The best decision David and I made during our wedding planning was hiring Halie for our wedding photography. She is so amazing at what she does and so organized with it! Which is something we have in common, I am super Type-A so the relationship I built with Halie was top tier and it made the whole planning process/wedding day a breeze. For David and I, our Rhode Island wedding was a destination as we are from Maryland so this made things a bit more complex with scheduling and understanding the area. When planning our engagement shoot, Halie made perfect suggestions for different locations to satisfy the different vibes I wanted in our pictures. During the shoot, she put us at ease and helped pose us in different ways to get the perfect shot. She also captured family photos for my family and I while we were all in Rhode Island for wedding planning activities. This helped us have an even closer bond with Halie and she got to see some of the family dynamics. All of the photos were absolutely beautiful!!! Between our engagement shoot and our wedding, Halie stayed in constant communication with me and gave me so many good tips/suggestions/ideas throughout the process. She made us a custom photo timeline for the whole wedding day. This was so helpful and we used her photo timeline as our baseline when engaging with all of our other vendors to ensure they were all on the same schedule. Halie captured pictures of our rehearsal dinner and intimate private sailboat ride with our inner circle. It was so fun to have her there to capture all of our New England details that we had spent so much time planning. Once again, she nailed it and got so many great pictures of us and our families! If you are considering adding rehearsal coverage, this is your sign to do it!!! Now for the wedding day, she truly outdid herself! She came fully prepared to dive into all of the shots and was reassuring me when I realized we were running slightly behind schedule. She was like my director that day and I had complete trust in her for all of it. She remained calm, poised, professional throughout all of the wedding day chaos. All of our wedding party was so impressed by Halie's well thought out photography. When we received our sneak peeks, we were just in utter shock!! They were stunning and exactly what we were hoping for. Halie’s photography style is the perfect blend of romantic and timeless. David and I are forever grateful for the memories that Halie and her team captured on our wedding day. We truly cannot recommend Halie enough! She is amazing!

Lauren Dobish Photography 

5.0

  • Photographer
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $6,000
  • Serves Bowdoin, ME

I'm Lauren - a natural light wedding and dog photographer based in Boston and willing to travel all over New England. I have the absolute best job photographing beautiful couples and their adorably, fluffy pups! Being a photographer is more than just a job to me - it's a dream come true! I believe it is an honor to capture your wedding day and I promise never to take that privilege lightly. On your wedding day, I will document the the love and joy, the laughs, the tears, and everything in-between all as your friend and biggest fan. I promise you will have images as bright and as joyful as your love!

We began working with Lauren in 2016 when she started photographing Rich and I and our three pups for holidays, our surprise engagement, and our rehearsal dinner, welcome drinks, and wedding day in August. At no surprise to us, Lauren and her second shooter were a calming presence amidst the excitement on our wedding day. She managed to be everywhere, capturing the big and subtle, candid moments we might have missed. She captured all of our shot requests with patience and grace, wrangling our rowdy wedding parties, and beautifully captured our three dogs, who were not interested in being cooperative that day. Her ability to blend into the background while simultaneously directing and capturing stunning portraits is truly impressive. As always, Lauren's photographs are nothing short of magical. Each image tells a story, evoking all the emotions and memories of that day. I always say you can immediately spot Lauren's photos, as they are always simply breathtaking. Having Lauren as our wedding photographer was a no-brainer, and I can wholeheartedly say it was one of the best decisions we made for our special day. We can't wait to continue working with Lauren and having her capture our family memories for years to come!

Foster's Clambakes And Catering 

5.0

  • Caterer
  • Starts at $7,500
  • Serves Bowdoin, ME

Renowned for their authentic Maine lobster and clambakes, this venue is also a catering service and couples will not be limited on their choice for food. Foster’s lobster bakes are a wonderful experience to add to any New England wedding, but as a full-service caterer and event venue they offer a range of locally-sourced cuisine from smoked BBQ to more refined wedding menus and appetizers.

We held our rehearsal/welcome dinner at Foster's the night before our wedding at Stage Neck Inn. We were in the York Room for our event, and we had a really incredible night! The team at Foster's and the event manager helping out with our dinner were so wonderful to work with. They were very flexible, letting us come in earlier in the day to set up some decor, etc. The food was SO good - everyone raved about their meals. They helped us set up the music we wanted to play and a tv for a photo slideshow. All of the staff were kind and did a great job making sure our guests had everything they needed. We would highly recommend hosting an event at Foster's!!

Katie Arnold Photography

  • Photographer

  • Serves Bowdoin, ME

One of my favorite parts about this job is watching confidence grow right before the lens. When couples go from, “we’re going to be hard to photograph, we’re so awkward.” to “ no way! That’s us?” my heart could explode every time! Because what is on my camera is exactly what I see in you. It isn’t “you’re so talented!” or “that’s an amazing camera!” no, no. It’s simply you with the one you feel most comfortable with and who fills your heart and soul as no one or thing can. That my friend is genuine love in its most simplistic and powerful form. And it’s what I capture best. :)

After doing much research, I was blessed to stumble across Katie on Instagram. I immediately fell in love with her work; her photos are rarely staged, all authentic, “in the moment” candid shots. On top of her amazing work she is the most kind hearted, down the earth person. Going to our engagement session, we didn’t know what to expect. We immediately felt comfortable with Katie and never felt awkward. We had to postpone due to COVID and Katie was so easy and accommodating! Our wedding photos are absolutely stunning, there truly isn’t a bad shot! I recommend Katie to every one and will continue to go to her in the future for any of my photography needs :)

Emily Sawchuck Photography

  • Photographer
  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $6,000
  • Serves Bowdoin, ME

Capturing love stories all over the world. With a keen eye for detail and a love for genuine emotions, I strive to capture the essence of your unique love story. Each image is crafted with care, ensuring that your wedding day is not just an event but a timeless, cherished experience. I would love to be a part of your journey, preserving the magic and elegance of your celebration through our lens. Love all.

My husband and I got married in August of 2021. COVID-19 restrictions were winding down, however, we did have family attending the wedding from another country (and the border was still closed while we were planning our wedding earlier in 2021). When we were searching for vendors, we hoped that we could find someone that would be considerate of our additional difficulties of planning an (international) wedding. We also hoped that our photographer would be someone that would “join” our wedding, rather than “direct” the wedding. From the first phone call with Emily, to our engagement photo session, and our wedding, Emily exceeded all our expectations. While discussing the wedding, she made us feel our concerns and wishes were heard, providing her own experienced feedback along the way. She was prepared and flexible on our wedding day (which ended up being a rainy, outdoor wedding). As we hoped, she effortlessly and gracefully joined our wedding as what felt like just another family member. She kindly guided everyone throughout all organized photos and captured many beautiful candid photos as well. Emily is extremely talented in capturing amazing moments with exceptional photo style/quality. My husband and I (as well as many others that were part of our wedding) kept saying over and over how wonderful Emily was. Our wedding photos are displayed throughout our house and on our phones, laptops, etc. Emily went above and beyond to capture our day exactly as it was so that we could hold onto it forever through our photos. Since our wedding in 2021, we’ve worked with Emily on two other occasions, and she has continued to amaze us with her photos. We hope that she can join us in future significant family moments, because at this point, she feels like family!

The Leighton Co

  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves Bowdoin, ME

The Leighton Co. is a husband and wife photography and filmmaking team documenting stories of love and life through intentional, modern, and genuine imagery. We believe that when the day isn't solely focused around the photos and video, then THAT is when you get the best footage.

I highly recommend Becca and Scott. I sent in an inquiry form, and soon after Becca scheduled a call for us to discuss what we envisioned for our wedding day and to tell us about their different packages. We were not certain that we wanted a videographer, but Becca and Scott helped to guide us to make the best choice for us. Leading up to our wedding day, Becca was great about communicating with us. And best of all she created a day of timeline for us! I was so stressed about the timing of the day, but once I saw her suggested timeline, I knew it would work out great. On the day of our wedding, both Becca and Scott were awesome. They were supportive and kind, making sure that we were comfortable and able to be where we wanted to. We never felt awkward or like we were “forcing it” for the cameras. Post wedding, Becca and Scott were again great about communicating with us about when they would deliver our finalized photos and video. Both our engagement and wedding photos/ videos are beautiful. The Leighton Co has a timeless style that we love, and they do a great job of capturing you and your day as it is. It is very obvious how much hard work they put in, and how dedicated they are to the couples they work with. I know that we will look back at our pictures and videos for many years and instantly remember how loved we felt that day.

Artistic Emotional Cinema. Dream Images. I am an innovator, and highly motivated. My experience with cinema camera, lenses, Steadicam stabilizer, audio, and lighting allows me to confidently and enthusiastically create exciting real life motion pictures, starring YOU. I will be open and honest with you, and quickly show you what I can bring to your special day. Let me know exactly what you want, and I will work consistently with you to provide it.

Bruce gave us exactly what we asked for and the entire experience was easy and seamless especially compared to most wedding vendors. We wanted more documentary style footage, which he provided us throughout the full night, as well as some beautiful video editing for key moments. Bruce captured everything and you never even knew he was there, worked well with the photographer and is nothing but professional. Bonus, the prices are incredible reasonable.

I have been in the industry since 2016, creating videos and capturing memories for all types of weddings and exciting events. Capturing your special day is the top of my priority list, and having fun is second!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Jordan on a styled shoot. Jordan is friendly, easy to relate to, and found ways to get just the right shot needed for the shoot. Her personality made the couple feel comfortable and at ease. Jordan created stunning sneak peeks withing 24 hours of the shoot. Her videography told a story with all the important details in a way that was meaningful and fun! Working with Jordan was easy from beginning to end. She communicated well and with eagerness. She listened to what was needed for the day and executed it with purpose and flair. I would recommend Jordan to any couple who wants their story captured by someone who is relatable, funny, and has an eye for the details and the overall vision for the day!

At imageryLIFE, we're not just your videographers or photographers; we're your ultimate wedding day wingmates! Imagine us as your partners in crime, capturing every heartfelt hug, silly smirk, and love-filled glance with the perfect blend of artistry and elegance.

We can’t say enough great things about Warren and his team! We met imagery.life at a bridal expo and immediately fell in love with their work and also Warren and his staff! They were all so friendly. On your wedding day, it is one of the most important days of your life. You spend time thinking about who you want in your bridal party, who you want invited to your wedding, because you want to be surrounded by people who care about you. Same thing goes with vendors but specifically your photo/ video team! For most people, there are two vendors that are going to be with you from early in the morning to late at night. Those two vendors being arguably the two most important vendors in our opinion your photo and video team and your makeup team. Your makeup team is going to make you look and feel beautiful on your wedding day and your photo and video team is going to capture those pictures of your special day to look back on for years to come! You want to have a team that is going to help you and care about you and your spouse making sure you have the best day! And that’s exactly what imagery. Life is all about! Warren didn’t hesitate to help us with reviewing our timeline for the day to make sure it ran smoothly! The week leading up to our wedding, it was not supposed to rain but as it got closer, it was calling for rain. Warren and his team remained cool and were able to go with the flow. In preparation for the possible rain during the 30 mins of our ceremony that we wanted outdoor, Warren and his team took advantage of the weather before it rained and made sure to get outdoor pictures of the venue. They did a great job at blending into the crowd when taking photos during the ceremony. Warren and his team didn’t miss a moment to capture a photo! During cocktail hour, the rain had stopped so Warren made sure we got outside to get our pictures outside that we were unable to get before the ceremony due to the rain. There’s no doubt that Warren and his team care about their couples and truly care about what they do. It’s not just a “job” to them, it’s their life. (Hence their name). Warren and his team did a great job at interacting with the guests and getting photos of our guests ! We will definitely use them in the future and you would be making a mistake if you didn’t pick them for your wedding day!! Thanks so much Warren and the imagery.life team!! - Tom and Kaeleigh

Lollie Wedding Films

Hi! We're Lola & Hollie, hence Lollie! We are a wife-wife wedding videography duo based in Boston. Our approach is based in passion, love and creativity. We always shoot with a two videographer team and two or more HD cameras to ensure a special moment is never missed. When you choose to work with us, you're making an investment in preserving your memories for years to come.

10/10 - would recommend. We had a large wedding planned and then COVID hit. We rescheduled the big event but continued with our wedding and small reception for 20 close family members. Lole and Hollie were amazing. They explained all the package options and worked with us when we changed our plans. They were super easy to get along with and clearly know what they are talking about. I was a bit overwhelmed about what I wanted but they were patient. I probably will never watch my entire wedding but they made us an awesome "teaser" which I love and it really captured the day. They truly saved our wedding because our photographer was awful. She double booked and didn't get any of the shots. When we mentioned this to Lola and Hollie they were able to get us some screen shots of their video of important moments (first kiss, walking out the church) - ya know kinda a big deal.... They really saved us and I would recommend them to anyone and everyone.

Bear Brook Bakery 

5.0

  • Cakes & desserts
  • Starts at $1,200
  • Serves Bowdoin, ME

Bear Brook Bakery is a home-based cake studio serving Maine and parts of New Hampshire and Massechusetts. Specializing in beautiful custom wedding cakes, gourmet cupcakes, and a unique selection of decadent and delicious sweet buffet options. Nearly any design is possible, from grand wedding masterpieces to creative novelty sculpted cakes and carefully styled dessert tables.

I knew very early in my wedding planning process that we did not want a traditional wedding cake and wanted to have a dessert bar instead. I am so grateful to Melissa at Bear Brook Bakery for giving us that option - once I saw photos of her work and menu on her website, I wanted no one else and I'm ecstatic she was available and worked with us. Melissa's desserts were honestly one of my favorite parts of the day. Like...second to actually getting to marry my husband. I was getting ready as she dropped things off and set up so I didn't get to see them until I walked into the reception and I was absolutely blown away. The cookies, cake shooters, mini pies, etc. that we ordered looked absolutely tantalizing. Everything was delicious but my personal favorite of the treats that night were the vanilla bean tarts topped with fresh fruit. They were perfection. I loved, too, that multiple guests came up to me at the reception to rave about the dessert bar and how delicious everything was. My dad, who had initially been a little put off that I wasn't doing a traditional cake, came up to me after a few minutes at the dessert bar to tell me that the mini blueberry pies were amazing and he wouldn't doubt me again (haha). For me, wedding cakes have never been memorable. Having been to a dozen weddings in my life, I just don't remember any individual cakes tasting great or looking so beautiful that they stuck in my mind. Melissa's dessert bar though? I don't see myself or my guests forgetting that anytime soon. Melissa, you're amazing and if I were planning this wedding again, I wouldn't work with anyone else for desserts.
