B. Remembered Photography did a fantastic job capturing the special moments from our wedding day. Their online intake form made it simple to communicate what we envisioned, and the team was great about following up to ensure they understood our preferences. We appreciated their range of editing styles and felt they balanced both classic and trendy beautifully. The photos turned out wonderfully - true to what we discussed while still having their artistic touch. Norm, our photographer, was so sweet, helpful, and unobtrusive on the day!

I am an experienced freelance photographer of 14 years with a passion for capturing life’s precious moments, traveling the world and telling a story through my images. 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!

Where to start? My husband and I hired Jess and her team for photography and videography after connecting on Instagram. I fell in love with her overall style and ability to authentically capture the day for what it is. Aside from her professional ability, Jess is such a kind person who made us feel completely comfortable being ourselves. We were able to fully take in our big day and felt like we were hanging out with friends who were taking our picture.

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 one of the best decisions we made throughout the wedding process. Lacie was amazing to work with the entire time. She was easy to communicate with and kept us updated on our photo timelines, not to mention all of our photos turned about AMAZING. Our package included an engagement session and Lacie worked out a weekend she was already in Chicago to accommodate us. Leading up to our session, we had issues with controlled fires and protests in our preferred location, but Lacie found us a spot that blew my expectations for photos out of the water. She gave us a sneak peak and also got our pictures back to us super quick. On our big day, Lacie and Tim(her husband/second photographer) were the best to work with. They made us feel comfortable and captured our day better than we could have imagined. As soon as they got there, they got straight to work. Lacie got all the details and getting ready photos that I will cherish forever. Things were running behind the day of and they let us add on an hour to our contract the day of and pay at a later date. This ensured that we got dance floor photos and it was so worth it! Specifically getting pictures of my husband's grandmother in her 80s dancing with all her grandkids. We received a sneak peak very quickly and our whole (massive) gallery less than 2 months after the wedding. For as many photos as we got, this was a crazy quick turn around. Overall, PictureMeThisByLacie captured our day better than we could have ever imagined, we could not recommend them more!

About Ben Paquette From the moment I started shooting with my very first camera, I felt like I had an eye for photography. Although I have been a photographer for many years now, because I am so passionate about taking pictures, I am always looking at opportunities to grow and develop my skills even further. I look at every event or client with the intention of creating something that is truly special and captivating. I love interacting with people and capturing the special moments in people’s lives. Simply put, I am a photographer and I love what I do.

Awarded Best of Zola
We had such a great time working with Ben for our engagement photos and it only solidified how awesome it would be for our wedding the following autumn. He was flexible and professional, made sure we were comfortable, and thoroughly explained everything so we knew what to expect from our final photos. Speaking of which, they came in 3 days! We were happy to wait the full two-week period for engagement photos, but getting them sooner blew us away. Our wedding experience was somehow even better—Ben and his second shooter were so fun and added such a good vibe to the already amazing day. They covered EVERYTHING and we received our photos well before the estimated delivery date (again!) which meant we got to scroll through our gorgeous photos on our honeymoon. The sheer number of photos is incredible and I can never choose my favorite (I change my mind every time and it’s been 2 years). Our wedding was everything we ever dreamed and Ben’s work captures it beautifully. Truly cannot recommend Pictus Photography highly enough!

She was enthusiastic, listened attentively, and asked us questions about what is important to us leading up to the wedding and beyond. She was great to work with, and I knew what to expect.

Right from the first phone call with her we could feel her excitement, passion and love for being a photographer. She made us feel comfortable and was there with us every step of the way for the whole time we got to work together. We chose to do our engagement photos with her and she knew just how to shake out all our nerves/shyness, making the whole process fun and stress free. The engagement photos were so beautiful and perfect to use for our Save the Dates. On our wedding day, Felisha was a constant source of genuine joy. She worked with our families and the vendor team seamlessly. She was always there to guide us, she kept everyone on time and she reminded me on multiple occasions to take a second to soak everything in. I had numerous family members and friends come up to me to tell me how amazing our photographer was throughout the night and in the weeks that followed. She laughed with our loved ones, she cried with our loved ones and she broke it down on the dance floor with everyone all while taking the most beautiful photos. And don't even get me started on the film! I will never run out of good things to say about Felisha. She photographed moments that we will cherish forever. She took the time to get to know us as a couple and on the day of our wedding she knew exactly how to capture all the special snippets of our day that would mean the most to look back on.

Julia is truly the BEST photographer out there and she makes everyone look SO GOOD!! We booked her for both our engagement session and our wedding because we loved her so much! She is so skillful at finding beautiful angles and working with natural lighting, and she was great at directing us with suggested poses that didn’t look forced or unnatural. She was also really easy to work with: we met up beforehand to communicate our vision and discuss the kinds of photographs that we wanted for the engagement session and we did that again for our wedding. On our wedding day Julia brought her husband Leo who is also a photographer to assist her and they came early in the morning to begin taking scenery photos, details, and other things while the rest of us got ready. She was there with us throughout the entire day all the way til the end of the evening and she went out with us to take some sunset photos in the middle of the reception, which turned out so beautifully! Finally, Julia was super prompt at sending us the final photographs, which I know she worked hard on because there were A LOT! We can tell that Julia truly enjoys what she does and really wants to get the best photos possible so she always goes above and beyond. I think the phenomenal photos that we’re sharing here can speak for themselves. She was such a joy to work with and we can’t wait to find some other excuse to hire her again!!

Growing up in Egypt, near the great Pyramids, has inspired my eyes to capture great moments that last for life time. I am surrounded both by natural beauty and interesting people. I use my camera to document the world and then print images with a focus on the magic I find in daily life. My pictures tell my stories

It was an amazing experience, SGJ photography was super helpful in picking out the perfect place and perfect poses! I loved how all my pictures came out, the edits made all the pictures look so pretty and captured every right moment! I am so glad I was able to have my special moment captured with SGJ.

They took the time to understand our vision for the day and went above and beyond to ensure that it was realized in every photograph.

Hey hey 👋, I’m LaDonna. Wedding photographer & videographer with a passion for celebrating the love stories of couples from all walks of life. Growing up in the suburbs of Boston and attending undergrad in Connecticut, I’m a true New England gal. Winter holds a special place in my heart, as I embrace the beauty and charm of every location I photograph. I’m always delighted to travel wherever your love story takes you—even an Aspen winter elopement. That would honestly make my heart smile! 😊 My mission: create timeless, heirloom-quality artwork that reflects the unique connection & individuality of each couple I have the honor to serve.

Awarded Best of Zola
I’m typically shy and not very photogenic, so I was extremely anxious about how our wedding photos would turn out. But after finding LaDonna through a Facebook ad, I immediately knew I wouldn’t have to worry if she was our photographer. She took the time to understand me and helped me find my confidence in front of the camera. By the wedding day, I felt completely at ease and able to focus on the moment with my husband rather than my insecurities in my head. LaDonna and the LT² team captured everything beautifully, balancing candid moments with fine art shots that truly tell our story. The photos are so authentic, and I’ll cherish these memories forever, along with the confidence I gained. Thank you, LaDonna, for an unforgettable experience! 3 7.27.24

Hey there! This is Amy. I am an engineer by day and photographer by night (and weekends). I am always looking for new opportunities to take more pictures, especially in awesome new locations. Reach out to discuss your next photoshoot, whether that is in Boston or on a far away mountaintop!

Awarded Best of Zola
Amy is a gem to work with! She is flexible with our unusual wedding schedule and was communicative the entire time. One of the things that really made us decide on picking Amy was her way of editing photos. She keeps the photos true to color but more enhanced and higher quality. It still looks very bridal and clean but without the weird tinted filter that many other photographers use. Highly recommend Amy and her team for all types of photography needs!!

Hi! My name is Elizabeth and wedding photography is a passion of mine. I’m local to the Granite State of NH and serve all of New England. I love meeting my clients, learning their love story, and delivering beautiful images of their wedding day. Let’s work together bring your vision to life! More of my work can be seen on Facebook and Instagram, as well as my website.

Elizabeth was the perfect photographer for our wedding! From our initial meeting, I knew she was the most qualified, prepared, and detailed oriented person for the job! She was so organized, and helped our day go super smooth. She provided questionnaires for us to make sure we were on the same page, and knew our values. We met a week before the wedding to go over details, and prepare for the big day which made us get super excited for everything too! My husband and I were a little nervous being the center of attention and in front of the camera the entire day, but she made us feel so comfortable and natural! She was familiar with our Church, and took the extra step to go to our venue prior to the wedding to familiarize herself with that setting as well! I did not even get started on how BEAUTIFUL the pictures came out! Her pictures can be described as light, airy, and fun! We could not believe how stunning and perfect she captured our day. We have gotten so many compliments on the style and edits of our photos. She even writes a blog with her pictures that summarize the day and captures all the moments! Elizabeth gave us the sneak peak 3 days after the wedding which was so fun to go through during our honeymoon, and was early to send us our final images back. I can't wait to use her for future life events, and will highly recommend her to everyone anywhere and especially in the southern NH area!!

As a wedding planner, finding vendors who are not only professional but fun to be around can be hard to find sometimes. That is definitely not the case with Jasmine of Jasmine Davey Photography! Jasmine was a joy to work with from day one! She was extremely responsive to any emails or questions I sent her way and was a joy to work with on the wedding day.
