My wife and I hired Marian to be the photographer at our wedding after being extremely impressed with her work at my sister's wedding a few years ago. I'm glad we did! Marian was super friendly and easy to work with, and her photos were everything we hoped they would be. Marian handled all of the standard wedding photos with no problems, but she also got some really special shots of the little moments that made our wedding memorable. My wedding was a small, intimate group, while my sister's was a larger "classic" wedding in a church, so I can confidently say that I would recommend Marian to anybody regardless of the type or size of your wedding.

My husband and I had some trepidation around choosing a photographer for our elopement, mainly because we really wanted any photos taken to reflect the two of us, and our relationship, authentically. We wanted intimate, personal, simple, and classic...and we found all of these things in Tessa. Tessa always put our vision at the forefront of her work, and she worked with us every step of the planning process to make our elopement seamless. She suggested venues, worked with our busy schedules to coordinate planning meetings, and even served as our officiant. Throughout it all, she was the perfect balance of honesty, warmth, and professionalism, and we would work with her again in a heartbeat. Thank you, Tessa, for everything. You are amazing!

I would consider myself an innovative thinker, strong team collaborator [for all those ideas you are dying to tell me!], and I am very excited to capture your day!

Jordan was an exceptional wedding photographer. She traveled out to California with us to capture all our special moments. She was prompt, so much fun, got all the shots I wanted and MORE. Her artistic eye and attention to detail really shown through. Post wedding. She sent me a preview of her edited photos. While they were absolutely stunning, I was hoping for a warmer tone on the photos vs cooler tones. She fixed it right away and the photos came out even better than I had imagined. 10/10 experience, I would highly recommend hiring her!

I’m a Virginia transplant who makes her home north of Boston shooting micro-weddings and elopements. I’m obsessed with the diversity and energy of the city, but also with how easy it is to escape to nature in New England. As an introvert, I definitely need both! I’m married to a handsome fellow creative (of the wordsmithing and storytelling variety) and we love our homebody life together. I’m a photographer because I think people are fascinating. Because memories are fleeting. Because we all need some beauty around us to help us remember how incredibly blessed we are to be alive.

Awarded Best of Zola
If you are looking for a photographer who really cares about the people she works with, takes great pictures and awesome to work with then Lorna is your person! When searching for a proposal photographer I was looking for someone that would be easy to communicate with and Lorna was just that and more! We scheduled a meet over Zoom, so she could get to know me and see if there was any questions I had for the day of the proposal. I enjoyed this as it helped me get to know more about the person who would be working with me on such an important moment. The day of the proposal she kept in contact with me up until we arrived at the location which I appreciated. Lorna even helped calm my nerves assuring me the location was correct as she arrived early to prepare (I never been and was afraid we might be at the wrong building) We absolutely loved the images when we received them! I appreciated she kept me updated on when we would be receiving the images and the pictures were awesome. We loved how she was able to capture our special moment and were so happy to see how great the pictures turned out. I would definitely recommend Lorna for anyone who is looking for a photographer. She was very nice, great communicator, and you can tell she truly cares and was happy for us. Thank you so much Lorna for helping us with our special moment.

Hi, I'm Jess! I'm a wedding photographer who loves capturing real love stories. My style is relaxed, joyful, and focused on those unscripted moments that make your day unique. Let's create timeless photos together!

How do I even start? Jessica was a dream photographer to work with! I love all the photos and I’m so happy every time I look at my photos. I fell in love with the crispness and color detail of her style. Now I look at mine and they are so impactful! I also really love the crops in my photos. Some photos are cropped to capture the moment, others are cropped to capture my wedding dress. My veil was cathedral length, so it was very long and I really wanted photos that captured the length and showed it entirely. She did it! I have photos of my veil that I love so much, and closer detail shots that I also love. I couldn’t have asked for better photos. Jessica was so comfortable to work with too. She was sweet, kind, easy going, and patient, all while being proactive and seizing the moment to capture the right shot. She even helped me put up the “just married sign” last minute before heading to the reception and took photos of us getting into the car. These were not even planned but turned out to be one of my favorites. I also had a bridesmaid who wasn’t going to be able to attend the reception, and even though my wedding timeline was super early and super tight, Jessica made it happen and did everything to capture some photos with all the wedding party before my bridesmaid left so that I could have this memory with her. It was very well done and very sweet of her to squeeze it in because this was also a last minute thing. Overall I am so happy that I had Jessica as my photographer. Even my sister who gets married next, wanted to book her but Jessica was already booked. So if you get the chance go and book Jessica for your wedding! Her skill, talent, and dedication goes above and beyond. Now I get to look at photos of my wedding and smile at each one. I’m so happy!

We had such a great experience having Kendra as our wedding photographer this August. She is so great at using her surroundings to create fun photo opportunities in the moment. In addition to our awesome portraits, we also snuck away during the reception to take some sunset pictures. The editing/lighting was perfect and were some of my favorite photos we took. For both the wedding and our engagement shoot, the outdoor pictures were fantastic and showed how talented she truly is. We are so thankful to Kendra for capturing such special memories. Choosing Cape Ann Weddings as our photographer was one of the best decisions we made!

Her knowledge of the north shore combined with her experience makes her a natural fit for your north shore wedding. Alyse's style is photojournalistic with an eye for small details. She is less fond of posed photos. Alyse is open to travel but is giving priority to weddings on the North Shore of MA and to weddings that are non traditional/showcase the individuality of the couple.

Alyse worked with my fiancé and I for our engagement shoot at Beacon Hill. Since we are from out of town (NY) and the shoot took place at the height of Covid, this required some strategic planning on both ends. Alyse was so kind and flexible to work with. She assured us that even if last minute changes due to Covid had to happen, she would work with us. I was very stressed with the entire situation, but Alyse’s calm, reassuring personality put my mind at ease. She has many great ideas, but also listens to your vision and is open to doing shots that you like. We loved the way she captured who we are as a couple, in a place that is special to us. We received many compliments on our save the date cards which featured the photos from our shoot. If you are looking for a photographer who is easygoing, open minded, and knows the MA area well, then Alyse is your girl!

Weddings are a culmination of love, life, happiness, family history, style, art, and so much more. My love for photography and the importance it plays in remembering cherished moments spans decades. Photographs are one of the only tangible items you receive after your wedding day (aside from the memories) to help you relive this time for the rest of your days. I love how much detail and planning goes into these events and I spare no details! I will hype you up all day long to make sure you are enjoying every aspect of your day— that’s truly what it’s all about! Lucky to be able to play the role of photographer for so many love stories.

Erin did our engagement photos and wedding photos and I could not recommend her more highly! Her work obviously speaks for itself- her photos are stunning. But what you can’t see from her photos is what a great person and business woman she is. Erin was always professional and happy to give me her time when i had questions while wedding planning. Erin was so much fun to be around, we felt like we were friends with her by the end of our wedding. She has a great attitude and is more than just a photographer, but also a bridal attendant and hype woman all in one! She kept us laughing and relaxed and we felt so comfortable with her which is very important on one of the most emotional and stressful days of your life! Even our parents and bridal party commented on how wonderful she was to be around. I had a specific vibe in mind for my getting ready photos and for my reception dress change. Erin understood my vision and absolutely nailed it! We could not be more happy that we hired Erin and would highly recommend her if you are looking for a talented artist who is super down to earth and fun!

More than a decade ago, two sisters - knew there had to be a better way to allow talented photographers and videographers to focus on what they do best -- create gorgeous art -- while providing couples with better support in the planning process. Together, they created an all-inclusive, stress-free environment where couples can choose from talented local photographers and videographers and work with a small team of planning experts equipped and eager to make everything a success. With the pressure gone, you can truly enjoy your big day. Relax and rest assured that all the emotional and moments will be documented with unmatched quality.

We absolutely loved working with OLAS! Our team (photo & video) was so adaptable to the venue and had great ideas for shots and making the most of the location. I loved all of the candids taken of the guests which is something I wanted during the ceremony and reception. We were able to see parts of the night that we would have missed. The planning team was also great- Hannah was very helpful in giving me an example timeline ahead of our call. We’re so pleased with our choice to select OLAS!

Just like you, I have felt awkward in front of the camera. I’ve had photos taken of me that I didn’t like. When you go on a session with me, I will not only make you feel comfortable, but I will make sure you look good! I will give you prompts to keep you moving and laughing. I’m sorry but there are some angles, and poses that are not flattering for everyone. Like, please don’t take a photo of me from below! Hello double chin! What I’m saying is, I got you!

Awarded Best of Zola
PictureMeThisbyLacie was the most amazing photographer we could have dreamed of. Lacie and her husband made our day an absolute breeze! We even had sneak peek pictures before the nights festivities came to an end. Lacie and our videographer worked seamlessly together, we would recommend her over and over again, without hesitation.
