Hey there! I’m Chris, and I’m stoked to be part of your wedding journey. My goal is to help make your day everything you’ve dreamed of. I'll even bring some dog treats. You can count on me to keep things stress-free—no “photographer attitude” here. If the timeline gets off track, I’ll help get it back on schedule so you can enjoy your meal. Based in Boston, I love traveling for weddings, especially intimate gatherings of 100-150 guests. I’m a fan of venues like barns, ski resorts, and castles. Capturing vibrant, cinematic images is my passion, and I focus on true-to-life editing—no overexposed skies or unnatural skin tones!

Chris was such a joy to work with! From our very first meeting before even hiring him, he really spent the time to talk through what our vision was and how we wanted our day to be captured. He was a great support every step of the way for planning as well as on the big day! In addition to being a great listener, Chris has great suggestions on how to plan for photos based on his extensive experience (angles, timing, group shots). Our wedding was a large one, so Chris hired a fantastic second lead photographer and several other photographers throughout the day so our event was seamlessly captured! Another important note - all of our family and other vendors (makeup artists, planners, etc) commented on how great it was to work with Chris, and were excited to work with him on future events - I think this is such an important quality for a photographer, and definitely appreciated how professional and friendly Chris was with EVERYONE! He kept the day moving as it should and captured some unbelievable shots that I revisit on probably a daily basis :) I honestly cannot recommend Chris enough - from his genuine care and support for you through the planning and important day, to the absolutely stunning product he delivers. Thank you Chris for everything!!

Alba Lumos Photography 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,400
  • Serves Dayton, ME

I'd say my photography style would be something along the lines of "lifestyle photography". [That means that posing you in silly ways that seem fake / awkward isn't really my jam.] I mean, unless that gets some snuggles & laughs. I'm ALLLL about that. I like to capture REAL life with REAL emotions and REAL smiles. Your session should be relaxed and fun. [All while I get some kick-ass photos!] I will most likely make a giant fool of myself at your session, so you'll feel like a professional. I sing, trip, laugh, make noises, mention inappropriate things, show my nerdiness. AKA YOU'RE GOING TO DO JUST FINE.

Awarded Best of Zola
We had our vow renewal photos and our vow renewal save the date photos captured by Alba Lumos Photography. From the moment we first spoke with April and Jordan, who are the owners of Alba Lumos Photography, we were impressed by their open, honest, and professional communication style. They made us feel comfortable and at ease throughout the entire process. They were so lighthearted and allowed us to have fun and be our true selves. From our first phone call with them, we knew they were the ones we wanted to photograph our big day, as their style and personalities meshed so well with us. Their work was efficient on our day, photos were received back so quickly, and were breathtakingly beautiful. April and Jordan did the best job at capturing all the most sentimental moments of our special day. April and Jordan were the absolute best to work with - they made us feel like the only people in the world and got incredible photos that we will cherish forever. If you're not booking Alba Lumos for your wedding, what are you even doing?!

I am SO excited that you stumbled upon my work! I shoot weddings all across the Florida & New England! Capturing raw, true emotions as they happen is what I’m all about. I want to capture it all on your big day. From the moments of you putting your dress to the tears running down your face as you read your vows to each other. To the first kiss and “OMG you’re my spouse now!!” feels. To the unexpected Taco Bell run you make after the ceremony or your grandparents getting down on the dance floor. Being able to grab the moments for you to hold to forever, is such a rewarding humbling job for me.

Gloria Bloise Photography was an incredible presence on our wedding day. Not only did all of our photos come back absolutely beautiful, but Gloria truly captured the happiness of our day in each shot. Her talent in photography is unmatched, and we cannot emphasize enough how grateful we are for her work.

Julie K. Gray Photography

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,750
  • Serves Dayton, ME

Hi, I’m Julie! I’ve been photographing weddings for about ten years now (holy cow, do I feel old!), starting with photographing friends' weddings and quickly falling in love with the work. While I adore capturing gorgeous portraits of the bride and groom and the quiet (and sometimes chaotic!), beautiful moments during a wedding/elopement/engagement session, those ridiculous candid moments (like when a stranger offers you a fry on the boardwalk during your bridesmaid photos) truly make your day uniquely yours. I'd absolutely describe my style as a mixture of classic, artistic and photojournalism, but my heart lies in capturing candid moments.

Awarded Best of Zola
We are BEYOND thrilled that we chose Julie to capture our wedding. My wife and I had a destination wedding in Kennebunkport, Maine so choosing vendors was really just based on doing our own research and combing through reviews. From start to finish, everything with Julie was incredible. She really understood what we wanted and that aligned perfectly with her vibrant and candid style. She was so efficient on the day of the wedding as well so we were able to enjoy what we put together. She truly has an amazing eye, book her!

**We are only accepting elopements currently, but can’t figure out how to change our listing!** Whether you are professionals passionate about your careers, are #vanlife, found love later in life, or can’t be defined by traditional labels, it’s YOU that makes “Kate & Keith Photography.” From our first meeting, we’ll be establishing a vibe. If we can’t conceive of future inside jokes, then we’re happy to make recommendations to some friends who may align. But if we get carried away by conversations of favorite hikes, or where you grew up, then you can bet we’ll be showing up on wedding day with all the excitement shared by your inner circle.

Awarded Best of Zola
We cannot recommend Kate and Keith enough! We booked them approximately 2 years before our wedding and throughout the entire planning process they were by our side, answering any and all of our questions. Beginning with our initial meeting, we immediately clicked with K&K and loved how down to earth, fun, and easy going they are. Their communication was top notch and their photos are even better. They allowed us to bring our dog to our engagement session and they captured our family's love in the most beautiful, authentic way. They were also incredibly accommodating for our wedding day timeline, both arriving early and staying late to document our special day. Because we feel so comfortable with them, their photos have captured our true, genuine love for one another. We will cherish not only the photos they have taken for us but also the memories we have made with them. 10/10 would recommend, they are amazing!

Johanna Sorrell Photography 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,600
  • Serves Dayton, ME

I’ve been making pictures since I was 12. My parents gave me an ancient 35mm Konica Autoreflex camera, told me to get after it, and the rest, as they say, is history. My role as a photographer is to capture the rare, vulnerable, epic, extraordinary, and wonderfully ordinary moments of life, as well as the beautiful details in between. I strive to make images that come from the heart and will tell your story for years to come. Also, I might cry at your wedding. It happens.

Awarded Best of Zola
Knowing that our wedding day would pass in the blink of an eye, choosing a photographer who could capture all the little moments of the big day (especially those we'd inevitably miss) was one of our top priorities. To say Johanna delivered is the understatement of the century. She has an incredible eye and a knack for finding and documenting perfect, candid moments. As a couple uncomfortable in front of the camera, Jo managed to photograph incredible portraits that felt like us. No hair sniffing required! We were lucky to have had the chance to work with Jo twice, as she shot our beachside elopement and big reception. She's a joy to work with, and brings a warmth and enthusiasm to her work that is hard to find. Beyond her professional nature (she's always quick to respond, offer a suggestion, and send sneak peeks with an unbelievably speedy turnaround), Jo is truly an artist, and I can't recommend working with her enough.

Brett Alison Photography

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves Dayton, ME

I’m a New Hampshire wedding photographer, who specializes in candid, natural wedding photography, serving all of New England for over fifteen years. Almost all of my couples come to me saying that they feel weird in front of the camera and worried about how their photos will turn out. But of course they want those gorgeous, Pinterest-worthy shots! My laid-back attitude will help put you at ease, helping your true personalities shine through (with simple and fun guidance for the posed photos). And my quiet and calm nature makes it easy for me to blend into the background, to get tons of candid photos that you will make you laugh and cry.

Awarded Best of Zola
Brett was one of the first vendors that we had hired for our wedding and my now husband and I HIGHLY recommend that she capture your wedding. She did both our engagement shoot and wedding, which I highly recommend. Doing the engagement shoot with her really helped my husband and I get comfortable in front of the camera and seeing how she worked really calmed our nerves for the wedding – we knew we were in great hands! She is kind, and extremely communicative throughout the entire process – we never had to wait more than a day to hear back from her whether it was a question related to the wedding or asking for copies of our engagement photos. She was also able to provide a lot of information to us regarding what to expect, how to think about what we’d like to see in our photos, planning for the engagement shoot, etc. One of the main reasons we were enamored with Brett is her photography style. Brett’s photos are always so warm, and you can feel the joy radiating off everyone she captures. I felt true happiness going through her gallery and in that moment, we knew she was the photographer for us – we didn’t have to look around for anyone else! I also want to mention that she has an INCREDIBLE turn around time! She would give us an ETA and blow it out of the water – I’d see an email from her and be surprised she already had our photos ready for review. I can honestly say that going with Brett was one of the best decisions we made, I go through our wedding photos fondly and I’m ecstatic to see all the joyful moments she was able to capture. Another thing about Brett is that she has a cool head on her shoulders. On the day of the wedding, we arrived to the venue 30 minutes behind schedule so we were a bit stressed. Brett was extremely calm, but direct when needed to be. Her laid backness and professionalism helped calm me down and before I knew it, I was getting ready and forgot she was there – which honestly helped with the nerves as well. She lets you really live and soak in the moment which, in my opinion, helped create the best photos. Lastly, I feel like what really makes Brett great is how much she cares. As I’ve mentioned before she was very kind and helpful throughout the entire process, and she’s also extremely thoughtful. About a month before the wedding we received a small care package in the mail completely by surprise. It was the sweetest gesture we had received from anyone and really helped us get excited for the wedding – thank you again Brett!!! I feel like I’ve been rambling for a bit, but I just want to shout from the rooftops how much I love Brett and recommend that you have her capture your special day. She is definitely someone I am recommending to anyone I know who gets married and I hope that whoever you are reading this, you’ll trust my review and the plethora of others who with their whole heart trusts Brett and can vouch for what a wonderful job she does.

Val was absolutely amazing! We booked her for July 2023 and she just blew us away. She was so professional, organized, and helpful throughout the entire process and we are so happy with our photos! We love the moodier romantic vibe compared to bright Bright colors so she was perfect! Her check in cadence leading up to the wedding is awesome too and she has great forms you fill out to make sure she understand exactly what your vision is. She nailed it! We would definitely recommend her to others!

Herring Photography

  • Serves Dayton, ME

My name is Dave Herring and I started Herring Photography in 2017. I live in Plaistow, NH with my wife Kalila, our son Davy, and our dogs Snickers and Chipwich. I have a dual background both as a pastor and as a financial analyst, but a few years ago, I bought a camera to document our trip to the UK and I never anticipated how much that would change my life. As a lifelong fan of photography, I became obsessed with learning about how cameras work and how to capture the important and beautiful moments of life.

Herring Photography was an absolute joy to work with for our wedding photography. Their communication style is so easygoing, clear, and comfortable - they really put us at ease throughout the entire process. We felt they brought incredible passion, value, and a hard-working ethic capturing all the special moments of our big day. Herring called us a few days before the wedding to go over what moments and photos were most important for us to capture. This level of care really made us feel they were invested in understanding our vision. On the day itself, Herring was able to make us feel so natural and relaxed as they unobtrusively took candid photos that wonderfully encapsulated the joy of our wedding. We'd highly recommend Herring Photography for your own wedding or special event - their professionalism and dedication to capturing meaningful memories is fantastic value and left us with photos we'll treasure forever.

Hi there! We're a husband and wife photography team that loves capturing genuine emotion and real moments at your wedding. We believe that there's magic in everything, and our goal as your storytellers is to capture that magic in a way that's honest and true to who you are. We focus on the unique elements that tell the tale of your day, so your final wedding gallery has a timeless storybook feel.

Jaime & Eddie were the photography duo of our dreams. Their balance of artistry and realism comes together to make the most beautiful images that capture the joy and emotion of our day, while still hitting on all the major “bridal” points. From the beginning, Jaime and Eddie vibed so well with us, really taking our vision for engagement photos to the next level (even driving us around Boston in their car to find hidden gems). They took the lead on ensuring our wedding timeline was well rounded and encompassed everything we wanted to do for the day (even taking the curve ball of a boat ride in the middle of cocktail hour in stride). Although they had never shot our venue before, they drove over on their own time ahead of the weekend to walk around the property - truly going the unnecessary extra mile. The results of their calm and professional, yet fun and lighthearted nature are incredibly beautiful. A mere day or two after our wedding, we had dozens of stunning sneak peeks to look through and share. A month later, we are still getting compliments on how amazing they were in person and how beautiful the finished product is. Could not recommend them more!

My love of photography began a decade ago when I was introduced to film development in my high school's dark room. I went on to further my education in college where I majored in fine art photography. I find that in my free time, I am hiking with my other half, Jameson, and our two lovely dogs! There are so many ways for me to connect to the world, whether through nature, furry friends, or a good meal I am happy to be sharing it with someone. I'm excited to get to share my passion with the world through Little Redd Photography.

From start to finish, Danielle has been a fantastic person to work with! During our initial call I think we talked for 40 minutes just gabbing like old friends which instantly put me at ease. Her portfolio is gorgeous and editing style is exactly what we were looking for. She helped us with our timeline and was able to be flexible on short notice when I realized a week out that I had not counted our hours of coverage correctly. She captured all of our must haves and even conspired with our DJ to create a surprise for the groom totally unprompted. We had our preview in a matter of days and I was astounded that we had that many photos in one preview. Now that we have the whole gallery we’re struggling to choose which ones to print because they’re all so good. I’m posting one of my favorites because it’s a work of art and I’m in awe that this is my wedding photo!

Hi! I'm Hannah. I'm a wedding photographer of 8 years, a wife, and an occupational therapist. I have always loved stories.​ Your relationship is a fun, unique story unlike anyone else's, so your photography should reflect that. When I work with you, my goal is to capture your personalities, passions, and relationship styles. For this reason, sessions with me are fairly relaxed-- I like to give you time to be yourself and interact, which showcases your unique quirks, #relationshipgoals, and ways of loving each other.

Awarded Best of Zola
I had the honor of DJing the wedding of Hannah's sister some years back and was amazed to see that not only was she a Bridesmaid, but also, the principle photographer! Talk about multitasking! One of her photos from that very wedding has graced my website for years! After seeing her photos from that wedding, it was abundantly evident her level of talent! Hannah was an absolute JOY to work with and her easy-going, yet determined "to get that perfect shot" presence is what makes her stand above the crowd. From a fellow vendor's perspective, she is the ideal vendor! She is hard-working, loyal, creative, caring, and a master of her craft! She works diligently with her clients to achieve and exceed all expectations. On a personal note: fast-forward a few years, I had the honor of DJing HER wedding (she didn't do double-duty as the photographer for this event - after all, as the Bride, I think she deserved a day off!), and it was spectacular! In this business, vendors often "come and go" - but you see them around enough that they become "acquaintances"... of course, I could always recommend the services of an "acquaintance"; however, I'd much rather recommend the services of a fellow vendor that I can actually call "my friend". Don't hesitate, go with HannahCate!

Nostalgia drove me into photography at an early age - and lead me into my studies of photojournalism. We all innately know when we're at a critical juncture in our lives. For me, being able to authentically capture, to preserve those moments in a photograph is such a privilege. I know how much it means to me to be able to look back and say 'this is how things actually happened.' There is beauty in those truths. The kind of folks I work with share that appreciation.

We picked Corey because we wanted someone with experience in taking candid, authentic photos of us and our guests celebrating, and he delivered in spades. From the outset he was accommodating, responsive, and offered guidance to make sure we had all our bases covered beforehand. On the day of, he fell right in with the rest of the guests, cracking jokes and making everyone feel relaxed and comfortable as he captured us getting ready. His skill at posed shots was just as excellent when it came time for the family photos, and he got through them in record time so that we could all head over to cocktail hour and get to the fun part. As for the photos themselves, they were phenomenal! I wasn't sure any photo could capture the beauty and fun that all of us were experiencing, but he proved me wrong. We're so happy with the candid style, showing everyone's genuine smiles, laughs, and tears of joy. Corey also got us the completed online album blazingly fast, in just a couple of weeks; way earlier than expected. He even curated a slideshow of his highlights of the wedding. We, our friends, and our families have all loved poring over the whole album, and will treasure it for many years to come. Thanks again - we hope neither of us ever need to get married again, but if we do, we'll know who to call! Thanks, Loren & Kirsten

We already received our preview photos and are truly blown away by how she captured our love & our special day.

Heather and her team are literally amazing. She helped me in so many ways. She’s not just your photographer, she’s everything you could need before and during your wedding. Heather is a lifetime friend for me now and I couldn’t be more honored to have her capture our day. She goes above and beyond to help you, whether it’s her guides that she has made herself or even just a little text asking if you need anything. Even on the day of, she’s right there if you need her. She is SO fun and I just can’t say enough things about her

I’m a storyteller. That’s what I’m here to do - document the story of one of your greatest celebrations. My work is heavily focused on the authentic, unplanned moments. My approach is observational and real, creating images that are genuine representations of you, those you love, and the space and moments you share. I create true-to-life images that will bring you back to some of your sweetest, most treasured moments for years to come. These images aren't just for you, after all - they're for the branches of your family tree that have yet to grow. For the generations to come.

Kaitlin is amazing to work with. As a photographer who has done weddings myself, I had high standards and specific requests that weeded out a lot of people during my search. Kaitlin immediately stood out to me as someone with the ability to capture the essence of a couple. As I browsed her galleries I felt like I knew the couples and their stories by the time I was done. My wife and I are very introverted, shy, and not used to being the center of attention — let alone in front of a camera. After consulting with Kaitlin it was even more clear that she was the perfect photographer for us. Kaitlin listened to our requests, asked us questions to get a better understanding of what sort of coverage we’d like, and checked in multiple times leading up to the wedding day to go over plans. On the day of, Kaitlin was incredible. She set her flash units up perfectly to give a beautiful sense of lighting to our indoor pictures. Kaitlin was quick and professional with our family formals without feeling like she was rushing anyone. We love our newlywed portraits, largely due to how natural it felt to work with her—again this was huge for us as two people who are a bit camera shy. Our reception photos are equally beautiful, she captured meaningful candid moments without feeling like she was standing between us and the moments happening around us. If you’re like my wife and me and aren’t used to being on camera, I would 100% recommend booking a practice session with Kaitlin either for engagement photos or couples’ photos. As a photographer I’m used to being behind the camera and not in front of it. She helped us feel comfortable and it also helped her see how we interact together as a couple. At no point did we feel like Kaitlin was commandeering our schedule to check off boxes on a shot-list. She was seamlessly integrated everything. Genuinely, I cannot recommend Kaitlin enough. Working with her is like having a best friend there take your wedding photos.

From the first moment my grandfather placed a Sony Cybershot in my hands at age 13, I knew the magic of capturing life's most profound and intimate moments was meant for me. Now, after nearly 24 years behind the lens, what began as a childhood hobby has become everything to me. My commitment to you as your photographer is to apply my skill, creative mind, and decades of experience to your occasion so you have fantastic, tangible memories to look back on years from now. I have made it my goal to become proficient across a wide range of photographic/editing styles, in order to better serve the needs and preferences of each individual client.

From the moment I first spoke with Johnny, I knew we had found the perfect photographer for our wedding day. His communication style was always professional yet funny, putting us at ease throughout the entire process. The quality of his work was truly exceptional - he had incredible ideas and executed them perfectly, capturing all the best moments of our special day. I have a horrible memory, but every time I turned around, he was there, almost as if he could see exactly what I wanted and needed pictures of to remember the day. My now husband *hates* his picture taken, but even our posed photos never looked stiff or awkward thanks to his expertise. Johnny was as sweet as can be and truly did the absolute best work. We are so grateful to have had him as part of our wedding celebration.

What if your photos actually looked and felt like you? Picture yourself 10 years from now on your wedding anniversary looking back at your wedding album with tears welling up in your eyes as you relive your day.

Whatever the perfect day looks like for you, why shouldn’t that be your wedding day? I am more than your wedding photographer, I am your guide, biggest fan, and the curator of your love story, I will also be the one tearing up from behind my lens.

We couldn’t have asked for a better wedding photographer! From our initial meeting, Danielle took the time to really get to know us and understand our vision for the day. She arrived early and jumped into action, ensuring she didn’t miss a single moment. She kept us on track all day, and liaised seamlessly with the venue staff. It really felt like we had friends helping us through the day, having our backs and making sure our vision was realized. The photos are absolutely stunning and truly capture the joy of our celebration. We’re so grateful for Danielle’s professionalism and talent! Book her!

Cory exceeded our expectations in capturing the magic of our October wedding! Our initial encounter during the engagement session was delightful – she accommodated our energetic goldendoodle puppy with grace, seamlessly integrating him into the photoshoot. Cory's warmth, professionalism, and responsiveness immediately put us at ease. After a thorough phone interview and seeing her impressive portfolio on The Knot, we knew she was the perfect fit for our big day. Now, onto the wedding itself – Cory's work is simply breathtaking! The photos surpassed our wildest expectations, garnering countless compliments. Her talent is undeniable, and we couldn't be happier with the results.

Barry is such a pleasure to shoot with. Every photoshoot has felt like a treat rather than a job. The shoots are filled with laughs, professionalism and courtesy. Barry is always early and shows me the pictures as we shoot so that I can see how I look on camera. I’ve always received my pictures back the same week, if not sometimes the same day.
