The Dearest Still

  • Photographer
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $4,570
  • Serves Brighton, MA

I have always been enthusiastic about photography. One thing that really got me into photography was realizing that every moment can be something very special. I like to take pictures of candid moments with natural light. With those, my camera is just clicking and the results are always phenomenal! I believe that one photo could create an incredible story. That's why I have lots of affection towards every photo and I work on them with all of my heart.

Julie was everything we were looking for in a photographer and more! A talented photographer, extremely professional, easy to work with, and an upbeat personality. Julie not only took fantastic photos that we are going to cherish, she was able to capture our wedding day story in the way we were hoping for with a mix of portraits, action shots, and candids. My wife is usually uncomfortable having her picture taken, which we were able to discuss with Julie during our virtual consultations. Julie did an amazing job of making us both comfortable and efficiently capturing the posed portraits. She also managed to take artistic candids unobtrusively from afar, some of which ended up being our favorite shots! Plus she was just pleasant to work with and have around on our special day! Thank you Julie for capturing our moments better than we could have imagined.

Miranda Photo & Co

  • Photographer
  • Starts at $3,475
  • Serves Brighton, MA

Hello I'm Samantha, and I'm the passionate artist behind the lens at Miranda Photo Co . For the past six years, I've dedicated myself to capturing authentic and soulful photography through thoughtfully composed portraits and photojournalistic storytelling.

A friend of mine noticed Sam's photos on instagram and recommended that I check her out. I did and loved her style, so when my husband and I got married just before Halloween this year we hired Sam for our photos. We're so glad that we did. She and her husband were so easy to work with and made us both comfortable on such a busy day, not to mention dealing with rescheduling issues around COVID. I might have been nervous to hire a photographer from far away (we're in PA and she is in Massachusetts), but Sam immediately put us at ease and we're thrilled we took a chance!

We operate across the USA, Canada, & Europe, and travel around the world.

FIVE STARS!! I knew my wedding day was going to fly by and I wouldn’t be able to witness every moment so having a good videographer was one of the most important things on my list. I felt discouraged with how much videographers seemed to cost though, until I booked Silver Arrow Band and saw you could also book videography services through them with a 10% discount when you booked both. I watched a few of their videos and was blown away, it was everything I was looking for! We did the full package of two videographers, full ceremony, speeches, and dance coverage, and the best part - drone footage! Our venue Saltwater Farm Vineyard is on a beautiful estuary and I was really hoping to cover both the nature and the important moments of our big day. The videographers were amazing to work with. They were both so kind, helpful, and made sure to capture every moment big or small. They had the groom and officiant properly mic’d up so they could capture every word. The teaser, the highlight reel, and the fully ceremony and speeches are incredible! They were able to capture all of our favorite moments. It was also so great seeing how much fun our guests were having. I promise your money is well spent if you book Lightwave Event Artists!

Sasha Pedro Photography 

5.0

  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,600
  • Serves Brighton, MA

Real moments & love stories. Queer/LBGTQ+ always Hi, I'm Sasha (she/her or they/them). I am friendly, easy going, and real happy to join you on your wedding day. It’s your wedding. Be comfortable. Enjoy it. I pay attention, I anticipate, and I work hard to get your real, genuine moments and emotion.

I feel so passionately about recommending Sasha I don't even know where to begin! My fiancee and I, as well as several members of our wedding party, have not stopped talking about how great she was since our wedding a couple weeks ago. Sasha did our photos for both our engagement shoot and our wedding. When we started wedding planning, it was important to us to hire vendors who not only aligned with a product we wanted and our price range, but also who were kind, good people we'd want to spend our wedding day with. Some vendors fell short, but Sasha made up for it and then some. First of all, Sasha is EXTREMELY talented. She really captures your essence in her work and several people commented to me that they could "feel" our wedding and emotions through our photos. Her photos are not cheesy or contrived, which was something we knew we wanted when hiring a photographer, and her values aligned with what we were looking for. She is very talented at working with lighting in special and artistic ways. She will "yes and" every single one of your ideas and suggestions for your photos, and really listens to your requests and preferences. Beyond all of this, even if I hated the photos (which is far from the case, I love them so much), I would hire her again and again. Your photographer is someone you spend a LOT of time with on your wedding day. Having someone with good, calm, kind energy who you vibe with is really important. I had a somewhat rough start to my day, getting a bit overwhelmed and behind schedule. Sasha was exactly the person I needed to be with to help ground and calm the energy of everything when it otherwise felt chaotic. She is cool as a cucumber under pressure, kind to every single person she meets, carries such a positive energy, and is a true professional at pivoting/troubleshooting when something goes wrong. She's also a quiet leader who will help keep your wedding running smoothly, pay attention to your timeline, etc. We had a giant wedding party and she somehow corralled people very quickly to get all the group shots we requested, so that I never had to think about it. On the wedding day, as others have said, she was somehow everywhere, but in the least obstructive way possible. I didn't even notice her during the reception or ceremony yet somehow she captured amazing pictures from lots of amazing angles. Leading up to the wedding, Sasha was a delight to work with. She was VERY responsive and willing to meet with us both over the phone and in person. She took the time to do a walk-through of our venue with us, which put me at ease to scope out where we'd take pictures. She even hopped on a Zoom call with us while on her vacation the week before our wedding. Last but not least, Sasha got us our engagement pictures AND our wedding gallery preview much faster than anticipated! If I sound slightly crazed in my obsession for Sasha, it's because I am lol. Sasha's beautiful spirit matches her the high level of talent and artistry in her work. This is your sign to hire her!

Wow, I could not have been more impressed with the beautiful flowers that Sweet as Honey Floral put together for an elopement. I had shared some suggestions with colors and size/style of the bouquet but was absolutely blown away by how stunning it turned out with little to no direction! The bouquet was exactly as we imagined it would be and looked stunning next to the brides dress. Instead of a boutonnière, Sweet as Honey was able to create a floral pocket square which easily fit into the grooms suit jacket. Such a creative piece to add to the grooms attire. Thank you for being so communicative and creative- it was such a pleasure working together and I hope we can work together again soon!

Working with Krystalle was truly a dream for us. Her style is extremely fitting with the mood we wanted for our wedding- dreamy, romantic, moody. She made everything so easy for us and truly made things fun. I am forever thankful for the experience we had and that she was able to shoot our wedding. A thousand times over, I would ask for her to shoot our wedding again! In addition, she did our engagement shoot and was everything we were looking for 3

Jodi catered our wedding reception at the Arlington Town Hall in June 2023. Through all the planning, she made great recommendations for both the food and entire layout. For starters, she created a delicious menu accommodating over a dozen allergies. The dessert pies that she recommended from a local bakery were amazing. Jodi was very easy to work with. She gave good advice on the floor plans and was very patient with us when we made multiple changes to the seating arrangement and table sizes. Her team setup our DIY decorations and made the reception hall beautiful. And the staff were a delight to work with. Among the lovely reception, and our guests enjoying the meals, did we enjoy the food on our wedding day? Of course not! Why? Because you don’t eat on your wedding day. Instead, they packed our leftover meal, our cake, and some drinks for us to enjoy after the wedding. Jodi has our highest recommendation.

Welcome Modern Luxury Brides(Please connect IG :Fei_Xu_Beauty_Studio for latest work) Are you a high-achieving professional with a vision for your special day? Welcome to Fei Xu Beauty Studio, Boston’s premier destination for luxury bridal beauty. Led by celebrity-trained artist Fei Xu, our team tailors services for discerning brides like you. At Fei Xu Beauty Studio, we combine elegance, professionalism, and artistry to offer a transformative experience. Immerse yourself in personalized pampering as we create a radiant look that complements your unique style, ensuring you shine on your special day.

A few months before my summer 2024 wedding, I was struggling to find a makeup artist in Boston experienced with Asian faces. My bridal party and I are mixed-race Asian, and after an unsuccessful trial with another artist, we realized we needed someone skilled in techniques that complement Asian features. We found Fei Xu's website, and though she was booked, two team members, Yuki and Priceless, were available. They created stunning, personalized looks for all of us, closely following our inspiration photos and feedback to ensure we were happy with the results. For my bridal hair, I changed my mind from the half-updo look I had done at the trial and opted instead for a vintage pin-curl style on the wedding day. Yuki used authentic pin-curl techniques to craft the old Hollywood look I envisioned—something other stylists had not been able to do with the same reference photos during previous trials. My makeup also held up beautifully through the entire day and night and remained beautiful and luminous even after getting sweaty on the dance floor! Overall, we were blown away by the skill of Fei's team and would highly recommend their services.

I’ve traveled around the world photographing people and places, and I’m proud to call Boston my home base. I love everything about weddings. Perhaps part of that is because of how happily married I am, how much I enjoyed planning and experiencing my own wedding, and how much happiness I still get from looking at the pictures from my big day. Those images will be with me and bring me joy for the rest of my life. To be able to give someone else such deep and lasting happiness from the images I create just makes me truly fulfilled.

We bring you a wood fire to roast, grill, bbq or smoke a feast. We offer over 30 kinds of tangy, fresh pickles, relishes and salsas for contrast. We track down all the freshest ingredients from local farms and fishing boats.

From day one, our experience with Smoke & Pickles, and more specifically, with Sally, was nothing but enjoyable. In search of “not your typical wedding fare,” my husband initially suggested we check them out, and after comparing their offerings to several other farm-to-table catering companies in the area, they were the frontrunner by far. As others have commented as well, Sally truly embraces her role and became such an invaluable member of our wedding planning team – we could not have done it without her. The food was fantastic, and many of our guests are still raving about it four months later. Thank you all for bringing such delicacy to our special day!

Anytime I needed something she took over and handled it to make sure we had nothing to worry about. I would recommend Emma to anybody as she truly cares about you, your wedding party, and making sure you have the best day ever. A little bonus, we ordered a wedding photo book from her and it is absolutely beautiful, and I highly recommend getting one to remember your special day! Thank you so much Emma!

I am candid, communicative and caring. My goal always is to ensure you are heard and that you are comfortable throughout the process. In my portfolio you can see each couple's genuine happiness and comfort in their body language. It takes a lot to create the environment of trust. The rave reviews from my couples afterward show you how much they care about me in return. This environment of trust builds from the beginning and I honestly attract the kindest brides and grooms that allow me to create consistently strong images with heart in order to tell their story.

Bella is the absolute best. Not only is she professional and takes the most beautiful pictures, she's seriously the sweetest. Yes, you can find someone less expensive but I'm a true believer in you get what you pay for and Bella's photos speak for themselves!!! She's worth every penny!!!!!

And because of all the time we'll spend together getting to know you and crafting the perfect photo timeline for your day, you'll feel like we're just your two best friends there to capture the moments. No matter your size, race, gender, sexual orientation or religion, we're here to hype you up as you share all your wildest wedding ideas with us!

Meaghan and Evan photographed our Halloween wedding and we couldn't imagine having anyone else! We met Meaghan and Evan last October when they shot our engagement photos. They were more than willing to trudge through our favorite park and stop at all our favorite spots to get some beautiful photos we used for our save the date. We got to get to know them a little more over at our favorite little ramen restaurant after the session and of course we were instantly sold! Meaghan was super communicative and responded to every email I sent her pretty much right away every single time. As we got closer to the wedding day, she sent an incredibly detailed questionnaire. It covered everything from our most important shots to what weird family dynamics she should be conscious of; we sincerely appreciated this level of care, especially as a queer couple with some iffy family things. When I was hiring vendors, it was extremely important to me to find vendors who were queer/queer friendly and body positive, and Meaghan checked off both boxes in spades. My wife and I both have huge body insecurities and are deeply self-conscious of photos-but Meaghan made us both feel so beautiful. I was never even aware of the parts of myself I am usually hyper aware of because Meaghan and Evan both made us feel so comfortable. We were able to laugh and feel every emotion without once worrying about how we would look in the photos. On the day of, Meaghan kept us right on track without rushing us or making us feel stressed. We were definitely running behind at points but Meaghan handled it all with grace and helped me keep my head above water the whole time. They captured every moment in such a storybook way that we are able to talk about and remember every detail of the day based on the photos. This gallery is such a keepsake and such a special reminder of the best day of our lives. Its so heartwarming to look back and see how happy we and our guests look. And my wife and I both couldn’t have asked for more stunning photos of ourselves. We both look and feel so feminine, so whimsical, so magical. She captured our authentic selves, which is what makes her photos so unique and beautiful. I can't wait to order our prints and have these photos in our home forever! Thank you, Meaghan and Evan. There's so much more I could say but I'll leave off with, we are so grateful to have had you on our day. We love our photos so much. And we can't wait to have you do another shoot for us sometime in the near future! We cannot recommend you highly enough!

From the moment we reached out to her to getting our pictures, she has been incredibly communicative, easy to work with, and deeply kind. She made us feel so at ease and taken care of at our Rehearsal Dinner and on our wedding day. She not only allowed us to be our fullest selves but also encouraged capturing us in ways that felt authentic and not stuck in expected wedding photos or gender roles. She captured our guests so beautifully too, particularly the kids who were in our wedding. Everyone's personalities shone through so wonderfully and the picture are absolutely stunning. We cannot believe how many and how incredible each and every photo is. We cannot recommend Shawnee enough!

you can typically find me frolicking barefoot in the forest while chasing the sunset. my work is definitely fueled by nature. i love photographing outdoors as much as possible. i’m a very earthy person and rainy days feed my soul. too inspired to be tired, is my motto. i am definitely a workaholic and think there is never enough hours in a day. i thrive during the night, this is when i’m the most inspired and get the most done

Molly is a true talent in capturing raw, unfiltered emotions in an effortless way. Possibly our favorite thing between our engagement and wedding shoot is that none of it felt overly posed or forced. Molly seamlessly worked in the moment resulting in some of our favorite shots that continues to blow us away. She was a pleasure to work with and was communicative with us both as well as our wedding coordinator. We would recommend Molly to anyone, truly!

I believe pictures shouldn’t be painful. I want you to feel special, happy, gorgeous, and well-cared-for throughout your photography adventure, but most of all I want you to have fun. A relaxed couple makes an even more beautiful couple on that most important of days, and I will go above and beyond for my couples to ensure that is exactly what happens. I’m not just a photographer on your wedding day: I’m a friend.

I've never been comfortable in front of a camera and our engagement shoot was a big point of anxiety for me. Within 5 minutes, we were laughing and completely relaxed. It resulted in beautiful photos. Between that time and the wedding, we had developed such a friendship that she was more of a guest than a vendor. Her creativity and eye were just incredible. Our photos and photo book are amazing. We'd hire her again and again and again.

If you don't think you need an event planner, it's probably because you haven't met Kelly. I can say with 100% honesty that our wedding would not have happened without her. By the end of it, I thought I was marrying her not my husband. We used her for our backyard wedding in August and she went above and beyond expectations. We hired Kelly as our partial wedding planner but she also did our stationery, flowers, decorations, EVERYTHING. She is so amazing I cannot even being to describe how much we appreciated everything she did for us. She was there for us every step of the way from the very beginning. Kelly kept us calm, cool and collected at all times which is so important when you're planning a wedding. Also, her mom is very involved and is the sweetest woman ever. I could go on for days but just trust me, you need her. We plan on using them for other events in the future and have already recommended them to multiple friends. You will not regret hiring Angelic Affairs... they are absolutely worth every penny and more. So much love for her!!!

Alex is the epitome of talent, fun, and professionalism! Due to COVID restrictions, we decided to keep our wedding to only 10 people. This meant that the video footage Alex captured would be the only real memories we could share with the majority of our friends and family. We knew we could trust him and he absolutely blew us away! Our ceremony was so windy that the 120 people on Zoom didn't hear our vows or most of our ceremony. Learning this, we were understandably upset as my husband's mother and sister could only attend virtually from India; meaning, they didn't hear or experience any part of the ceremony. Alex heard about our technical difficulties and stayed up all night to edit our ceremony so we could share it with our friends and family - only a few days after the wedding! He somehow made the ceremony video even BETTER than the day! Everyone could hear our vows clearly and he even cut out the wind to hear our cellist play with perfect audio. It's truly the most important video we own. He's a rare talent and also a delight to work with. He made us feel at ease and became a part of our wedding party. We were so lucky to have him join us and would absolutely recommend him to anyone wanting to capture their day forever!

My couples mean the world to me. I love hearing their stories, what makes them tick, and the things that are important to them. It’s my goal to capture them exactly the way they are; how they crack jokes, poke fun, dance together, hold one another. I’m there to capture the genuine tears, the laughs, how you just fit so well together. With directive posing, I bring out real chemistry and personalities. With my laid back vibe, I’ll ensure even the photo-heavy parts of the day are a breeze. I believe every single part of a wedding should be a blast and that every couple should be celebrated in their own unique way.

I could not have asked for a better person to capture my wedding! On our wedding day, it poured rain and I was absolutely devastated that the outdoor wedding I had been dreaming of was not happening. As I was sitting there faced with that reality, about to ruin my makeup with tears, Andrea swooped in like a superhero and genuinely made me feel like the rain was a good thing. She was the only voice of reason that made me feel like everything was still perfect. She ran around in the rain with us all day capturing the most gorgeous photos and I didn’t feel like I missed out at all. She was prepared with clear umbrellas and we actually had fun! She is also just so talented, the pictures and the saturation are just absolutely gorgeous, and not only that but she also has an absolute talent for capturing joy and movement. All my vendors have chosen to use her photos from my wedding on their websites, seriously just hire her!!!

I worked with Virginia for my October 2023 wedding and we also did a hair and makeup trial a few months prior. Virginia was so warm, friendly, and professional and delivered exactly what I asked for! I never wear makeup so I was nervous about wearing wedding makeup and asked her to help me look/feel like myself and she did just that. She took feedback extremely well and incorporated that feedback on the wedding day to help me feel my best! She made me feel so comfortable. My hair was amazing and she ensured my headpiece stayed secure - and it lasted and looked great all night! She did an amazing job with my mom and MOH as well - they both absolutely loved their looks, especially my mom who also doesn’t wear makeup regularly. I didn’t really consider that this is the vendor you spend your whole wedding morning with, which can really affect the energy as you prepare to get married. Virginia’s energy was so positive and really added to my day, which I am super grateful for. She felt like a longtime friend. Highly recommend her!!

Lorinda really helped us figure out our vision for the day — she brought tons of experience and suggestions to the table, but was also very receptive to our ideas during the planning process, and was open to tweaks and changes along the way as we figured out exactly what we wanted. Her team was impressively accommodating day-of, including when we needed to change from an outdoor to an indoor space last-minute; they adapted everything for a totally new environment expertly. And the beauty of the arrangements blew us away — we couldn’t stop smiling every time we looked at our florals. Highly, highly recommend!

Photographing the special day for couples of all ages and walks of life, is a real joy and I get a charge of excitement for each gig.

As a wedding photographer I leverage my experience as a pro along with my personality.

Jim has truly become such a great friend in this process. The biggest thing you want to feel on your wedding day is comfort and support. Jim goes out of his way to make this happen. We first met and worked with Jim for our engagement photos. We had so much fun! Jim wasn't afraid of getting in the sand and water to get our pictures in the ocean. When our wedding was postponed, Jim was there to shoot our elopement (and keep the secret)! After waiting for eight months, we finally had our wedding. Even though it was raining, Jim captured every moment of our amazing day. We will be working with Jim for all of our photography needs in the future. Thank you, Jim!

With her meticulous organizational skills and commitment to creativity, she founded AMC Weddings in 2018. Along with Ariana, the AMC Weddings team consists of two lead event assistants as well as multiple event team members to achieve a flawless wedding day for the couple.

Awarded Best of Zola
The best decision we made while planning our September 2022 wedding was hiring Ariana and the AMC Weddings team. Her attention to detail, organization, and professionalism throughout the entire wedding planning and designing process was astounding. Ariana was there to make us feel confident in each decision we were making for our wedding day whether the decision big or small. Ariana was our contact person for all of our vendors to alleviate the stress and burden of many, many emails which made the wedding planning process for us that much more enjoyable. Her immaculately-detailed timelines, design plans, itineraries, and expertise were truly unmatched and made our wedding day better than we could have ever imagined. The AMC Weddings Team (thank you also to Pascale, Lauren, and Macey!) blended in during our wedding day so seamlessly. There was even an issue with the person that was supposed to bring our dog Luna to our first look location. We, as the bride and groom, didn’t even realize it was an issue until the following day that Luna was not going to be able to be brought back to our home nearby by the dog company we hired. AMC Weddings didn’t even think twice and drove over 40 minutes one-way to ensure she was brought back safely, without even a hiccup in the day. Our friends and family could not stop telling us how wonderful, professional, and helpful Ariana and her team were throughout the entire day. We could not have made it through this process without her. If you are on the fence about hiring Ariana and AMC Weddings, it will be the best investment you make for a stress-free wedding day! We cannot thank Ariana and her team enough!
