The photos I produce allow you to hold those feelings in your hand, and keep them safe for eternity.

I’m blessed to be turning what started as a small hobby into an incredible journey where I get to capture such intimate moments in couple's lives. I graduated from UConn with a degree in psychology and journalism; both those tracks have only helped me in capturing human emotion through a photojournalist lens. An ambivert, my camera allows me to work where I know I work best, behind-the-scenes, front row at some of the most profound moments in people's lives. In a pinch though, I'll be there carrying the train, making sure you don't get your shoes dirty and helping to support you where I can throughout your wedding day!

She has phenomenal eye for interesting photos and knows how to roll with the punches. More than all of that though, Kim is a personable person to work with. She knows how to make people comfortable and bring out their true self. I would work with Kim again in a heartbeat and would gladly recommend her to others.

My name is Maya (they/them), and I'm a queer, love-obsessed photographer operating out of Pennsylvania and traveling all over. I specialize in weddings and elopements, especially non-traditional, LGBTQ+, and multicultural celebrations. I am the 'picnic elopement in the woods' or 'weekend campsite celebration' or 'screw it, let's get married at a Waffle House' photographer.

Awarded Best of Zola
First let me say, I cannot believe that Maya only has a handful of reviews on here because they are AMAZING! They were by far my favorite vendor for our September wedding and well worth the investment. From day 1, Maya was fantastic! They truly became our friend and not just our photographer for our wedding. From the little things that Maya remembered, to the sweet emails and messages we received for over a year while planning. They helped with our timeline, they helped keep the day flowing and made everyone feel so comfortable in front of the camera. We unfortunately were not able to do a engagement session with Maya, but somehow Maya made us feel like we've known them for years. If you want the personal touch, Maya is the perfect photographer for you! Maya is so professional, inclusive to all and by far our best wedding decision (besides marrying each other). We received so many compliments from family and friends about how impressed they were with Maya! Maya truly has found her calling and has the perfect eye for photography. The photos we have are so vibrant and perfect in every way! We cannot wait to relive the most magical day with all of the photos from Maya and her partner Michael. Hire them! You will not regret it!!

Awarded Best of Zola
Diana is the BEST! Neither my fiance nor I had great photos from our first wedding. So, after we got engaged and hired our wedding planner, I could not stress enough how important it was for us to hire the right photographer for our big day. Diana Ascarrunz was on the short list recommended to us by our wedding planner. After looking through at her website, I *knew* she was the perfect photographer for us and our wedding. I loved that her portfolio wasn’t filled with cis het couples that look like they all just stepped out of Vogue. These were real, beautiful, everyday couples from all walks of life. That was very important to me. When we got our ‘sneak peek’ photos back a few days after our wedding, I cried looking at them. She captured us and our love so beautifully. She was so easy to work with, crazy talented, professional, has an eye for detail and made me feel calm on our big day. She also did our engagement photos, which turned out equally as amazing, and we will absolutely use her again in the future for our family photos!

Carmen’s expertise was evident from the beginning as they worked with us to expertly managed every detail. Through their AislePlanner app, we meticulously discussed and documented everything from inspiration photos and checklists to guest lists, seating charts, budgeting, and timelines. Carmen and her team were incredibly organized and kept us aligned with every decision. Their attention to detail was impeccable, covering everything from communicating with wedding VIPs to organizing the ceremony setup, reception seating, favors, place settings, and ensuring compliance with venue regulations. They even handled the napkin folds and breakdown with precision. On the wedding day, Carmen and her team guided us seamlessly through the timeline, which had the perfect amount of buffer to accommodate any unexpected changes. We were kept informed about any issues—like one guest feeling unwell—only as needed, allowing us to truly enjoy our day. The positive feedback from our guests about the event’s flawless orchestration was overwhelming. The day after the wedding, we were amazed to find that everything had been packed up and returned without any extra venue charges. This smooth transition is a testament to Carmen and her team's dedication and efficiency. Their patience and support throughout the planning process turned what could have been a stressful experience into a joy. I wholeheartedly recommend Evermore Occasions to anyone looking for top-notch wedding planning services.

Hi, I'm McKenna! The person behind the camera and a hopeless romantic. I describe my photography style as candid, romantic, and timeless. My goal is to make a human connection with all my clients and deliver images that you'll love forever. I started 1828 Collective in 2016 after I realized that capturing relationships and telling love stories was my passion. Four years later I'm so in love with my job that I often forget I'm working. I find joy in capturing love, hearing about how you met, and everything in between.

Awarded Best of Zola
If you have spent even just a few minutes checking out McKenna's work, it is obvious how good she is at getting her subjects comfortable! Creating images that are playful and honest. Well crafted and timeless. Intimate and irresistibly fun. But what you may not be able to see through the limitations of your computer screen, is how she exudes positivity, enthusiasm, and carries a genuine curiosity. Does this sound like someone who you would want at your wedding? I hope so. I have had the pleasure of working along side her while capturing video and I'd happily have her at every wedding taking the photos! Hire her to tell your story.

The word ‘milieu’ defines how we want to capture your wedding: as whole of scenery. Any experience is the result of a series of moments and feeling of our interaction with others. Images can recreate those intangible elements more fully in our mind, allowing us to relive our emotional experience long after the day has ended.

Salvatore (Milieu) made our wedding day even more special than we could have expected. We LOVED his beautiful and creative ways of capturing our most special moments (if you look at his portfolio, you will know exactly what I mean). He is so very kind, professional, and made us so comfortable. He was so accommodating and helped us come up with a way to get all of the photos we wanted within the time frame we had to work with. I can go on and on about how much we loved working with Salvatore! He is truly a 1 of a kind find and we HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend him!

Situated out of Providence, Rhode Island, R&I Photography is a wedding photography company. Owners, Rebecca and Ilia specialize in providing candid, natural, and artistic photography while helping couples to relax and have fun in front of the camera. Every couple's love is unique and wonderful, and this team wants to give them a collection and an experience they'll remember and cherish forever.

I am so beyond thankful to have hired Rebecca and Ilia for our wedding photography. Throughout the whole process leading up to the day, they always made me feel calm, kept us organized, and helped add to the excitement of our day. We first met Rebecca for our engagement shoot - she braved a rainy day with us to get shots on the beach. I also had mentioned I had hoped to get a photo back in a shorter time frame to put on our wedding invitations - she ended up delivering our whole gallery early, and they were all so beautiful! The day of the wedding, they made us feel so comfortable and we had so much fun taking photos with them! Our "sneak peak" included a little taste of each part of the day, which is way more than I was expecting, and we could not be more thankful for them. I keep looking at them and just get more excited for our full gallery! Their editing style, and the moments they captured are exactly what I was hoping for with a wedding photographer. I couldn't recommend them more, and will definitely be recommending them to all of my engaged friends! Thank you Rebecca and Ilia so much!!! You are beautiful people, inside and out, who create beautiful work!

Denis Reggie

  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves Dorchester, MA for additional fees

With a warm heart and lifelong passion for capturing poignant moments, Denis is one of the most recognized and sought-after photojournalists for weddings of any size anywhere. Master of being everywhere yet nowhere to be seen, he quietly surveys and documents the scene often from the sidelines. His authentic and touching wedding photographs reveal a loving spirit with sincerity and depth as no staged photograph can. He discovers people at their relaxed best without prompting or posing, unaware of his camera or mission. He views himself as a witness and historian on hand to discover and document heartfelt wedding day moments.

Denis Reggie is not only an incredible wedding photographer who takes stunning photos, but he is also a wonderful storyteller. He captured spontaneous moments and expressions throughout our wedding weekend that truly tell a tale of great joy and beauty, feeling and fun. And he did so while being unobtrusive yet omnipresent. He also has an eye for the iconic, with photos that take our breath away every time we look at them. His albums are gorgeous — his layout and sizing of photos are artful and striking. Even many years after our wedding, Denis worked with us to complete our wedding albums (our life had gotten in the way!). Denis and his assistant Steve were the utmost professionals, yet I never got the sense that our wedding was just another wedding/job for them. Other photographers whom we had contacted before reaching out to Denis made us feel like they were doing us a favor, yet Denis — who has a greater reputation and far more talent — was professional, warm and kind. To us, Denis turned out to be more than a wedding photographer — we regard him as a very wonderful and integral part of our experience. We recommend him most enthusiastically!

Wow, where do I even start with Aidin and Novél Cinema? From the first meeting we had with them, my partner and I felt super comfortable. They were friendly, excited about our big day, and really listened to what we wanted. The amount of effort they put into making our wedding video was just amazing. They didn't miss a single detail - from close-ups of my dress to capturing the look in my partner's eyes when we said 'I do'. There were so many moments they captured that were just perfect. The moments with my girls as I was getting ready, my dad tearing up during our dance, and all our friends having a blast at the reception. They managed to get it all and put it together beautifully. When we got our final video, we were blown away. It wasn't just a wedding video, it was like a romantic movie about our day. Every time we watch it, it's like we're right back there, reliving all those wonderful moments. Choosing Novél Cinema was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. They were professional, dedicated, and so talented. We're over the moon with how the video turned out and we'll treasure it forever. If you're getting married and want to capture your day in a truly special way, we can't recommend Novél Cinema enough. They don't just make wedding videos, they make beautiful films that you'll want to watch again and again. Thank you, Novél Cinema and Aidin, for giving us such a perfect keepsake of our perfect day.

A good friend of mine has said that my brand is to care. She isn’t wrong-my brand is one of caring because my being is one of caring. I’ve been a wedding photog for 14+ yrs. I find that being a wedding photog is a gift - I barely have the words to describe how special it feels to be invited into clients’ most momentous & intimate wedding moments over & over again. I’m a champion for the weird & whimsical, the fun & funky - even & especially on wedding days. Plan your day the way you want to, trends be damned. Let your wedding day reflect your joy. That’s what we’re all there to celebrate, anyway. ✨

Erica is AMAZING!!! From our very first consultation call with her, my fiancé and I knew she was the best choice for our engagement shoot and wedding. We laughed and chatted and felt comfortable right off the bat. I have been told that you end up being around your wedding photographer more than almost anyone else on your wedding day - so it's super important you feel comfortable around them, so I was thrilled to feel like I have known her for years just over a Zoom call! Then, she managed to fit us in her schedule last minute, and drive over 3 hours to us in the Greater Boston area to shoot at the Arnold Arboretum! Talk about going above and beyond!!!! She frolicked around the park in the cold with us, LITERALLY climbing in and out of bushes and trees to get these gorgeous shots. You couldn't tell by the photos... but I was super duper nervous going into the shoot. I’m not a huge fan of my picture being taken… and the thought a professional camera made me feel extremely anxious. But Erica was so kind, and calm, and made me laugh and feel comfortable literally immediately!!! My fiancé and I are sooooo awkward too, but she expertly posed us in many different ways that make us look like pros LOL! A day that I had so much anxiety for… ended up being such a blast for both of us, truly. JUST THE SHOOT IN ITSELF will be a wonderful memory we will cherish forever. And then she got us the photos in record time, I couldn't believe it! So fast!!! And to no surprise, they were all incredible. It's so hard to choose a favorite, I have like 10 haha. I am beyond excited to have her shoot our wedding in the future. Five stars for EVERYTHING! Seriously. She is so incredibly talented!!!!
