John and Sha'Pella are amazing! They are so personable and immediately put us at ease. We had two ceremonies for our wedding, and they jumped in and took control at both events, wrangling a huge family with ease. The photos themselves are everything we wanted, and they really worked to make sure they were capturing us in the way we wanted. They are an excellent team to work with, and as the bride I was able to relax and let them take charge of all the photos! Would highly recommend this amazing team!

Hi! I'm Chrissy. I've been lucky enough to photograph weddings and meet tons of awesome couples since 2014. I'm based in Boston, MA but I'm always more than happy to travel anywhere your adventure takes you. My work has brought me as far as Tokyo and I'm so ready to explore more new places! In my down time I love to surf, paint, go to concerts, and watch horror movies. I'm full of useless astrology facts and I always have extra snacks with me.

I found my love for photography in a high school dark room, and I have continued to follow that passion to find myself today working as a hybrid photographer in both Film and Digital. I strive not to just take pictures, but to capture candid emotions and capture them in a beautiful way. My photography is personal and intimate. My approach is a mixture of fine art and documentary, I try to capture your moments and day as it happened but highlighting the special details and taking advantage of the best lighting. As a lover of history I love capturing personal and family histories that surround weddings.

Awarded Best of Zola
LOVE! LOVE! LOVE! When we decide to have a wedding and not elope we knew our budget would be tight, but the photographer was the one thing we weren’t willing to compromise on. The catering and the venue could be modest, but our photographs will be part of our big day forever. Judson is the most kind and professional person we have worked with for our wedding. She was able to assist us through out the whole engagement through to the wedding day. Her artistic talent speaks for itself in the quality of our pictures. We couldn’t of asked for a more lovely person to work with. She was able to help us express our love and capture the true beauty of how we were loved.

Kristin Griffin Photography

  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $2,750
  • Serves Essex, CT

I shot my first wedding in 2004, and from that moment on, I was hooked! It's an honor to witness and capture such an important moment in the lives of my couples. Before specializing in weddings, I focused on fine art and night photography. I earned a BFA degree in studio art from the University of Notre Dame (Go Irish!), and a MFA degree in imaging arts/photography from Rochester Institute of Technology. I taught black and white, digital, alternative process and studio photography at the high school, university and adult education levels. I love both the planned events and the unintentional, quiet moments that make a wedding unique!

Kristin was absolutely amazing to work with. We found her through our venue, Red Lion Inn, and let me just say- she didn’t disappoint. She worked with us during our engagement pictures to capture our dogs in all their craziness. When it came to the wedding planning, she went above and beyond to add on a videographer at the last minute to record the ceremony when we found out my grandmother wouldn’t be able to attend. Her turnaround for video and photos was unbelievably fast- we got the videos three days after the wedding and our full gallery within two weeks. The photos captured the day perfectly, and we will cherish them forever. Thank you for everything Kristin!

Caroline Giuliano Photography

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,500
  • Serves Essex, CT

I'm a Boston based weddings & elopement photojournalist serving New England & beyond. My style is authentic, nostalgic, and a calculated blend of soft and romantic + moody and edgy. I think minimalism is lazy and I want you to look at my work and feel something. My goal is to make you feel so present that you forget I have a camera in my hand while I’m photographing you. I believe it’s my job to remind you of how beautiful and fleeting life is. My hope is that after our session is over, my work turns into some of your most cherished memories decorating your home and your hearts.

My fiance and I had a great experience working with Caroline for our engagement photo mini session! I was amazed at how many moments she was able to capture in a short 20 minute session. The edited photos are beautiful- the romantic style is just perfect. We almost didn't do engagement photos, but I'm so glad that we had Caroline capture this exciting time. Plus her easygoing personality meant we had fun doing it!

Hey hi, I am Vital (pronounced as Vee-tal), and I am your most chill wedding guest with a few cameras around my neck and a cheerful smile. I have been a wedding photographer since 2016, and every year I fall in love with my job more and more. My wife and I have a dog and a cat. We love to travel, eat good food and binge-watch good shows. I enjoy reading or listening to books, especially adventure novels and biographies. Alpine climbing, backpacking, and road-tripping are among my favorite activities too. There is more to my life story on my website :)

Awarded Best of Zola
There were so many great things about working with Vital that I hardly know where to start. We booked him through Zola after going through an overwhelming number of photographers’ portfolios— many beautiful pictures, but none of them felt like “us”. My husband and I are both camera shy and felt very strongly that we didn’t want to spend the whole day posing; Vital completely understood and delivered. From the first communications, he made us feel heard, understood, and supported. We met him for a small engagement shoot in our neighborhood to get acquainted before the big day, and he even brought a Polaroid camera after hearing our first photo together was a Polaroid— just an extremely thoughtful and personal touch that really encapsulates the way Vital works. Leading up to the wedding he was incredibly easy to get in touch with, even sending us questionnaires to understand exactly what we hoped to get out of our day (and what we like about each other as partners). I left feeling like he really wanted to understand US and deliver the photos WE wanted— versus some stock lineup of pictures you’d expect at a wedding. On the day of the wedding he showed up early, was totally prepared, and got to work without instruction. My husband and I were able to relax, soak in the memories, and completely forget a photographer was even there. And the results! He delivered our previews within days, had the full gallery ready in weeks, and the photos were gorgeous. He captured so many little moments that I would’ve otherwise missed. He got so many wonderful candid shots of us, our families, and our friends. Each picture is packed with feeling and energy. It was more than we could’ve dreamed of, and we’ve looked at them over and over since they were delivered. Getting the right photographer for your wedding is a huge decision, but if I had it to do over again I’d book Aesthetic Sabotage without question.

Two Upper West Siders. Twenty blocks apart. How had we not crossed paths before? Or did we? Well, after finally matching on Hinge we made that happen and the rest is history! We have combined families and now as a family of 7 (three dogs, two cats) we have become an unstoppable force. We both share the same passion for photography, capturing the beauty all around us and making magic happen. Our dog Lucy, embodies love, kindness and poise. We couldn’t imagine naming our business after anyone but her. That’s how Love, Lucy Photography came to be.

Bethany and Raquel are a phenomenal photographer team and we loved working with them for our wedding. They were easy to work with both in preparation for the big day, and on the day itself. They have a special eye that captures moments perfectly, and ties them together to make you feel like you’re watching the day on film (yet it’s all ‘still’ photos). They are artists and masters of their craft. I’m honored and grateful we had the chance to work with both of them. In addition to all of the above, they delivered our photos in a very fast amount of time. We really appreciated that. We opted to purchase an album from them which was an investment we would make over and over again. While they let us help with the design, they truly know best. In my opinion you do not need a videographer if you invest in the right photographer. Bethany and Raquel are THOSE photographers.

It's not every day you get all dressed up, and spend hours having someone follow you around with a camera. At least, not for most people! I am there to guide you every step of the way! Whether it is a family photoshoot or your wedding day, we will laugh, have fun, and create beautiful memories that will be captured for you to look back on!

Awarded Best of Zola
Hiring Siobhan to shoot our engagement pictures and wedding was hands down the best decision we made. Siobhan is efficient, organized, friendly, and knows how to ease nerves and help you truly enjoy your day. After our initial call, I felt like I had known her for years, and knew she was the absolute best person to bring our wedding vision to life. And she without a doubt knocked it out of the park! The engagement shoot allowed us to get to know one another, her working style, and she made it fun! She posed us in a way that made us feel so comfortable, and each image turned out incredible. Doing this shoot before our wedding only further eased our nerves on the big day! On wedding day, she had Heather as her co-shooter, and both were a joy to work with. Siobhan came to the girls suite and immediately went to work, keeping us on time and really capturing the fun morning we were having. Once we got to the venue, we were on a pretty tight schedule, but you'd never know with how Siobhan and Heather were keeping things on track. We were able to get all of our family, wedding party, and portrait shots done early, so we could enjoy our full cocktail hour and evening. She didn't miss a beat and was there to capture any random pictures we wanted her to, as well as alllll of the candids to truly capture the love and fun of the evening. We received a TON of sneak peeks literally the next day, and every single one of them was incredible. She isn't just your photographer that day - she will be your friend too, ensuring you look and feel your best. If you are considering her for your wedding, it will be the best decision you will make!

When I first started wedding photography, I made a goal of being more than just the photographer on your big day. I made it my goal to be your friend, someone you can crack inside jokes with, and someone who isn't afraid to get down + have fun at the reception (while still doing her job). I made it my goal to capture more than just photos, but an experience. Whether it’s high in the mountains, on a beach near the ocean, in a forest meadow - you deserve to get married however you want to & I want to capture it for you.

Lexi did a wonderful job capturing my husband and I’s wedding day! We couldn’t be more grateful for all the amazing photos she took for us. We will cherish them forever! Lexi is a very skilled photographer who pays close attention to detail. Her calm & caring personality was also very comforting for the both of us. Highly recommend L& L photography!

Wayne at LoveDays Photography is the best, no matter the metric. We used him for our backyard (COVID) wedding, our 1-year anniversary wedding, and our engagement photos in Boston and on the Cape. Wayne’s pictures are gorgeous - utilizing light in extremely unique ways - and extremely creative - utilizing everything marshes, to us lying in the parking lot (pictures turned out so great!), to us symmetrically spread out against a symmetrical building background. His pictures are really breathtaking, and we and our family and friends look back through them very frequently, and will continue to do so for the rest of our lives. If you want wedding pictures that are art, this is the photographer for you. Wayne is also extremely kind - both with his time and with his genuine interest in those he is photographing. He is funny and patient, even when other folks are stressed or late, and this makes him a master of the photography sessions, making calm and fun what can be very stressful. We highly recommend Wayne and look forward to using him for other events for years to come!

Hi friends! I'm a New England wedding and destination photographer based out of Connecticut. My faith is the foundation of everything apart of me. My family, friends, and my business. I wouldn’t be where I am today without God, and I pray that my clients can see the goodness of the Lord through every stage of working with me. I love hiking and finding a brewery afterward to grab a cider, strolling through a garden shop or bookstore, or catching a sunset down at the beach and having a picnic. I'm a Jesus- follower, wife to my best friend Justin, a mom to my son Jaxson, and dog mama to my girl Minnie.

I reside in Jersey City, New Jersey, serving New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, and beyond. I grew up surrounded by family photos. My parents had a professional photography business, Infinity Photography, back in the days of film. My friend asked me to do her senior portraits, so I started my photography business after my parent's business was closed for nearly 20 years. Fun fact, I chose "Grey" because I'm a nerd, and I love Jean Grey - she's my fave X-men. Also, my name is hard to spell, especially when you hear it. It's like "Leah" with a "Tuh."

Taliya gave us the absolute best wedding photography experience. She was extremely professional and quick to answer any questions at any point along the way. She made sure every detail was arranged before hand so there were 0 surprises along the way and day of. Not to mention that the photos turned out phenomenal. She was great at posing and framing to get the best shots and made sure that everything got pictured and captured from our special day. Would recommend 100%

Here I am years later running my business full-time & I love what I do. Capturing the raw moments and being the one to capture memories that you will look back on years to come.

Hey! I'm Nina. I'm a pretty energetic and charismatic person that loves love and enjoys life. Documenting through photo is my favorite thing on this planet. I've been a professional photographer since 2016 but really I've been invested in photography since I was 15 years old. My love for documenting moments came from a desire to capture my own life and that of my friends using disposable cameras, flip phone cameras and point and shoot digital cameras on beach trips with friends. I have used writing, art, and photo to document my life and it is an incredibly special thing to be able to share that with my clients.

Awarded Best of Zola
Nina is by far one of the most professional, fun and down to earth photographers I have worked with. When you work with her just know that it will feel like you're best friend is shooting your wedding! Her photos are absolutely stunning. From Boudoir to headshots, family pictures and weddings she can do it all and make them look absolutely PERFECT.

Lauren was an amazing wedding photographer! When I told her I wanted to take pictures at a second location she went on her own time to scope out the scenery and lighting. Her calm demeanor really put us at ease in front of the camera. She got us our photos back so fast and she even photoshopped out my bra strap. I would highly recommend Lauren and will definitely use her again for our next special event.

Audrey and Cody were amazing!! I would recommend them to anyone planning a wedding. From start to finish, we never had one worry about how our pictures would turn out (and we could not be happier with the end result!). We met with Audrey and Cody first to do our engagement session and immediately felt at ease (during somewhat of an awkward experience as neither my husband or I love being in front of the camera!) Audrey and Cody took time to get to know us, what we wanted, and made the day enjoyable. Every time we met with them, they put our wants and thoughts first but, were also great in helping us narrow down a timeline and organize wedding details we were unsure about. They day of the wedding they were organized, helpful, and professional. My favorite part was how they told us to spend a little time “just us” in between the ceremony and reception. It was so thoughtful of a photographer not only to be thinking of how to get the right shot, but also other little things to make for a perfect day.

Hi there! I am Ashley, a wedding photographer extraordinaire and your soon-to-be friend and expert resource for all things wedding.

You can relax and know I will be there to capture all of the magic.

I chose PriceBurr photography from a referral and I wouldn't have changed a thing! Ashley has a natural eye for photography and made the entire process so easy. Ashley's second shooter Chris is also another rare addition with his eye and to top it off.. THEY ALSO OFFER VIDEOGRAPHY with Gabi. This dream team made our wedding day the best ever. There was never any pressure and it was so natural that even the awkward photos that most brides and grooms cringe over, came out beautifully and over the top. Ashley and Chris followed us around and made sure we got pictures with everyone we wanted, and our sneak peeks were AMAZING and I am still crying over them and we haven't even gotten all the photos yet. Gabi made things so fun and made sure to get all the amazing moments and all the dance floor moments to be captured in our video, which if you're seen her work before, I have no doubt it'll be the best video I've ever seen and I am ready to cry my eyes out again. I cannot recommend Ashley, Chris and Gabi enough - they truly became our friends by the end of the wedding and knew exactly what we were looking for. If you're looking for fun, professional, BEAUTIFUL photography and videography, PriceBurr is the place to go. This is the dream team you are looking for- I guarantee it!

Hi! I'm Aren, when trusted to tell your story through my lens, I take a photojournalistic approach. I value capturing the moments as they are happening on your big day, rather than making your wedding day into a "photoshoot". Real, raw, + authentic love is what I am here to capture. Minimalistic photography really draws my eye, never over complicating what's really happening in front of us, and finding the beauty in the simple, in-between, moments.

Working with Aren was amazing. She made us feel comfortable in front of the camera immediately, and captured us perfectly. We were so impressed with the quality of her shots and her prompt delivery of our gallery!
