We had the pleasure of working with Esther Mathieu Photography for our wedding and engagement and the experience was nothing short of wonderful. From the candid moments to the portraits, the photos captured by Esther are absolutely stunning. We are so obsessed with our entire wedding and engagement galleries. Esther was incredibly professional and easy to work with. She arrived promptly, was well-prepared, and seamlessly blended into the background. Her friendly and approachable demeanor put everyone at ease. Communication with Esther was excellent. The entire process, from the initial consultation to receiving the final photos, was smooth and enjoyable. Our final photos were delivered on time and we love how the photos are organized in our online gallery, allowing us to relive our wedding day from beginning to end over and over again. I highly recommend Esther Mathieu Photography to anyone looking for a talented, professional, and kind wedding photographer. She captured our wedding day perfectly and we couldn’t be more grateful.

I have been a photographer for 8 years. Throughout my time as a photographer I’ve captured clothing, models, and memories. I shifted from corporate shootings to families and weddings because it gave me this warm fuzzy feeling when I edited my couples and families photos. Don’t be afraid to reach out to me and ask about my photography style, my editing style, or my favorite restaurant! I highly recommend scheduling a free consulting session!

Capture the North

Capture the North was founded by multi-award-winning, and published photographer Sarah K. Marshall, and her husband, Christopher Marshall. Both are Marine Corps veterans and native New Englanders. Despite traveling across the world while serving in the Marine Corps, there is still something so magical about the New England area for them. Sarah was named Department of Defense Military Photographer of the Year 2020, and Marine Corps Photographer of the Year 2020 + 2021. Her work has been displayed in the National Museum of the Marine Corps and her imagery was the cover art of Leatherneck Magazine.

Sarah is an amazing photographer. I looked at probably a dozen other photographers for our wedding, but my fiancé and I were both super impressed with Sarah’s work and affordability. We recently had our engagement photos done and I was an anxious mess since I don’t normally wear make up or have my photos taken. However, I’m OBSESSED with how the photos came out. I feel so pretty looking at them and they truly represent our love and goofy relationship. Cannot wait to see the photos from our wedding next year.

There are not enough words to express how incredible Lindsay and Nathan are. Recommended to us by a friend, Lindsay and Nathan were the perfect fit for us as wedding photographers. From our very first call to our wedding day, Lindsay and Nathan couldn’t have been more professional. They are willing to do anything to make your vision come to life. From traveling, to building an effective timeline, clear and frequent communication, and incredible planning, they made our wedding day a dream. Going into this experience, my husband and I were nervous about being in front of the camera. Lindsay and Nathan helped to make us feel comfortable and confident. As a result, we have photos of our engagement and wedding that truly capture who we are. Lindsay and Nathan’s work is truly unmatched. We received our entire engagement album within a week, photos to share from our wedding the very next day, a sneak peek of our wedding album within 72 hours, and our full wedding album within a week of our wedding. The day of our wedding, it felt like I was working with a close friend. Lindsay was encouraging and calming during any stressful moments that arose and truly helped to make the day run smoothly. I am genuinely grateful for both Lindsay and Nathan’s time, creative energy, and work. They are passionate about what they do and it shows. I could not recommend Lindsay Eileen Photography enough. They are an absolute dream to work with!

I consider myself VERY lucky to do what I do, and I appreciate that fact every day. It's my goal to tell the story of your wedding the best way I know how- to be a photojournalist, fellow enthusiast, and friend. When you invest in me as your photographer, not only are you receiving my experience, my vision, and my creativity- but you, my friend are my number one priority. We will develop a friendship... and the one thing I never do... is let a friend down.

Where do I even begin? Kris is an amazing photographer and an even more amazing person. She made us feel comfortable from the moment we first spoke with her over the phone, assuring us that we were going to have a lot of fun! And that’s exactly what we did. She took us out for drinks and a bite to eat before our engagement session to loosen us up, which was so thoughtful and very effective LOL. Throughout the whole process, she was responsive, helpful and calming. She always went above and beyond the standard photographer call of duty. One thing I really appreciated is that she took the time and effort to get to know our guests during the rehearsal and the welcome party the night before our wedding. This made the day-of flow more seamlessly and ensured that she captured all of the most important people in our wedding. We love Kris and could not recommend her enough!!

Alyssa Marie Photography

  • Serves Essex, MA

For as long as I can remember I have always loved to create. My passion for photography started when I was a teen. As I honed in on my craft I began to photograph on a more professional level right out of high school, but stepped away for academic pursuits. After completing both a bachelors and master's degree in Anthropology, I came full circle, determining that a career in doing something creative was where my heart lies. Whether it is your wedding, or any other special moment in your life, I cherish the opportunity to document it in a way that highlights the artistic elements, while still capturing an authenticness that is uniquely you.

Awarded Best of Zola
Alyssa Marie Photography was a fantastic choice for our wedding photographer. From the very beginning, their communication was excellent - they were always prompt in responding to our questions and followed up to ensure we were on the same page. On the day of the wedding, Alyssa was a pleasure to work with, guiding us into the perfect poses and capturing beautiful, natural shots that truly reflected the joy of our special day. The final photos were of incredible quality, with beautiful editing that made every moment shine. Alyssa and her team were thorough in getting all the shots we requested, and we couldn't be happier with the beautiful memories they've preserved for us. We highly recommend Alyssa Marie Photography to any couple looking for an experienced, talented, and personable wedding photographer.

Spend your day having fun, not posing for photos. My approach is to focus on capturing what's really happening, so you can focus on making memories and I can deliver effortless, natural looking photos.

I can’t recommend Jess enough! From the moment we booked her, she made everything so easy and relaxed. On the day of the wedding, she was a total pro—super attentive and really took the time to understand the vibe we were going for. She gave us just the right amount of direction to make sure we looked our best, but also let us be ourselves and enjoy the day. The photos came out absolutely stunning—she perfectly captured the emotions and all the little details we wanted. We couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out. If you’re looking for someone who’s not only talented but also makes you feel totally comfortable, Jess is your person!

I am a caffeine addict who never sleeps. I love a good thunderstorm and playing Candy Crush for the brain breaks. I adore all kinds of dogs, but I have a special love for German Shepherds. My all-time favorite thing is to sit by the fire with a glass of good cabernet or watch the ocean waves hit the beach. I love to garden and to build things (but I let my husband to finish all my projects LOL). I enjoy good food and will likely refer to a stand up comedy routine at least once in a conversation. I am also a football mom, lacrosse mom and basketball mom. Wife to a very understanding husband and emotional support person for my big puppies.

I catered a wedding for which Silvia Gilbert was the wedding photographer. She communicated with everyone very clearly on timelines. She was very professional and efficient and made everyone feel at ease. I would gladly work with Silvia again.

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!

It was the name at first, that did it for me! Then we met Drake! What a kind, gentle and very personable individual. We met him through our caterer, which just so happen to be Drakes father, another wonderful person. Drake was so easy to work with. Once he met our families and the entire wedding party, it was like he was a long time family friend or even a cousin. Basically, he got along very well with everyone and immediately new our vibe and what we wanted to capture from the wedding for future memories. He was able to do this so quickly by just simply getting to know us, our family, and the wedding party. He was very attentive to his surroundings and any sudden last minute changes that needed to be made. His versatility and adaptability was impeccable. He exuded such happiness for my husband and I when the wedding and reception was all over. He seemed to be so pleased and confident in what he was able to capture from the entire day. He was able to have the finished product from the wedding available in such a timely manner. What a beautiful book/ album he presented to us, full of everything we wanted. He was able to capture every special moment and many more surprises!!! His photos set such a warm, welcoming, and cool vibe. We are blessed and grateful that we were able to have such a talented and creative photographer!!! If you want your wedding memories to come alive everytime you view your photo/album...then you SHOULD use photos by Drizzy!!!! You won't be disappointed!! Fred and Shelley

LV Photo + Film, led by Emilie & Jovan, brings together a talented team of photographers and filmmakers committed to crafting captivating narratives. Our approach seamlessly blends photojournalism and editorial storytelling, to authentically capture the emotion and honesty of each wedding moment. Our editing style is bright and film-inspired, maintaining the true colors of your day. Our journey has taken us to stunning destinations such as Italy, we always have our passports ready!

Where do we even begin? Choosing Lovely Valentine for our wedding was hands down one of the best decisions we made! They took the time to truly get to know us, understand our story, and what mattered most to us. That thoughtful approach, kindness and patience made all the difference and made our experience feel so personal and special. On the big day, Emilie and Jovan were a total pros — they made us feel so relaxed and comfortable in front of the camera (even though we’re definitely not “model” types!). They blended in seamlessly with our guests but still managed to capture every beautiful moment — from the candid laughs to the emotional first look, and all the fun little details in between. And let’s talk about the photos! We were blown away when we saw the final results. Every single shot was absolutely gorgeous and told the story of our day in the most perfect way. We seriously couldn’t stop staring at them! From the soft, romantic shots to the fun, spontaneous moments, each photo felt like a little piece of magic. Our friends and family can’t stop raving about how stunning our photos are, and we are so happy we worked with Lovely Valentine to capture these memories.

A Charleston Wedding Photographer with a fierce love for storytelling, fostering memories and capturing those moments that you will want to treasure forever. I get to tell your story. And, I think that’s pretty cool. I love traveling everywhere and anywhere, talking with my hands, buying plants (and attempting to keep them alive), and spending as much time as I can with my loved ones. I have lived in Boston, Paris, and New York City, and am now lucky enough to call Charleston home, while also still traveling the world for my clients. You can usually find me on my back porch in downtown Charleston, right next to my favorite little park.

tldr: Jessica is amazing and I don’t think you can go wrong with her if this is the style of photos you like I had a lot of difficulty picking a photographer as I’m pretty picky with photos. I knew I wanted something bright and light, with kind of a whimsical or ethereal vibe, but it was really hard finding the style until I came across the “fine art” style. Jessica’s name came up while researching this style and I decided to reach out to her among a few other fine art photographers. I definitely hoped talks would go well with Jessica as the others I contacted ended up either not responding or were wildly out of my budget. Pre-Planning: Jessica was wonderful throughout this process. She promptly responded to my emails and answered questions clearly. I never felt like I was left in the dark for any part of the process. When I sent her the timeline of the ceremony/reception, she quickly came up with a timeline to slot in all the photos to be taken ahead of time at the location (We had access to the venue for a little over an hour prior to the ceremony). She also asked for a list of family photos that we wanted to take. This made it very easy at the wedding as she could call out people’s name to make sure everyone that was supposed to be in the pictures, were in the pictures. Jessica also sent over a list of ideas for detail shots and explained she could do this ahead of time. We didn’t want extra pictures of these and decided against it, however, I still thought it was very thoughtful of her to offer. Wedding Day: I loved her energy at the wedding. She was very calm and felt very competent. She directed my husband and I throughout the pictures, showing us poses etc. During family and wedding party photos, even though we had many bodies to fit in the frame in quite a few pictures, she led us through them with ease and the entire experience was very stress free (or as stress free as can be at a wedding lol). The venue was quite dim at specific locations, but the final results did not reflect that at all. The pictures were bright and did not look like they were taken in the dark at all. (This is a little off topic but I loved the little apron with pockets she wore for her equipment. So cute) I’m not sure when Jessica had the time, but there were pictures around the venue which were so beautiful. I definitely feel like the day was captured through the pictures. Post Wedding: Jessica sent us a sneak peak 2 days after the wedding containing 23 pictures. They turned out great and were beautiful. You can see examples on her website so I won’t elaborate, but they really are that good. The full gallery was sent almost a month after the wedding (minus 2 days) with instructions on purchasing prints or an album attached. The full download contained 650ish files, including the sneak peek pictures. Half of which were black and white, so this matched up pretty perfectly with Jessica’s estimation of the amount of photos when we spoke in the pre-planning stage.

Meeting around 10 years ago and instantly becoming best friends, Jason and Nichole have now been married for 5 beautiful years. They share two children and when they aren't creating amazing wedding day memories for their clients they are out exploring. You can find them skiing, hiking, camping, and even traveling the country in their van when time permits!

Nichole and Jason have been nothing but professional throughout our booking process, engagement photos, and wedding weekend. All of the photos we've received so far we have been absolutely blown away with how good they are. They were great communicating to make sure our needs were met. We felt so comfortable with them and see them not only as our wedding photographer and videographer but someone my husband and I could be friends with. They were really great making sure our Indian fusion wedding was beautifully captured. I can't wait to see all of the photos but the sneak peaks were so good. They also asked questions about the ceremonies that we had to ensure they knew how best to document as well as wanting to sincerely learn more about the culture. You will not regret hiring these two. I would hire them both again in a heartbeat! This husband/wife team creates magic!

I learned photography 10+ years ago in the darkroom at my high school. From there, I was hooked. Fast-forward to being fresh out of college, in a new city, and needing new friends. I found an amazing group who also loved photography. We traveled abroad and across the country together, sharing our travel photos all over Instagram (which, had just become all the hype). That was all it took for my first couple to ask me to photograph their wedding. I'm now a full-time hybrid wedding photographer!

The best decision David and I made during our wedding planning was hiring Halie for our wedding photography. She is so amazing at what she does and so organized with it! Which is something we have in common, I am super Type-A so the relationship I built with Halie was top tier and it made the whole planning process/wedding day a breeze. For David and I, our Rhode Island wedding was a destination as we are from Maryland so this made things a bit more complex with scheduling and understanding the area. When planning our engagement shoot, Halie made perfect suggestions for different locations to satisfy the different vibes I wanted in our pictures. During the shoot, she put us at ease and helped pose us in different ways to get the perfect shot. She also captured family photos for my family and I while we were all in Rhode Island for wedding planning activities. This helped us have an even closer bond with Halie and she got to see some of the family dynamics. All of the photos were absolutely beautiful!!! Between our engagement shoot and our wedding, Halie stayed in constant communication with me and gave me so many good tips/suggestions/ideas throughout the process. She made us a custom photo timeline for the whole wedding day. This was so helpful and we used her photo timeline as our baseline when engaging with all of our other vendors to ensure they were all on the same schedule. Halie captured pictures of our rehearsal dinner and intimate private sailboat ride with our inner circle. It was so fun to have her there to capture all of our New England details that we had spent so much time planning. Once again, she nailed it and got so many great pictures of us and our families! If you are considering adding rehearsal coverage, this is your sign to do it!!! Now for the wedding day, she truly outdid herself! She came fully prepared to dive into all of the shots and was reassuring me when I realized we were running slightly behind schedule. She was like my director that day and I had complete trust in her for all of it. She remained calm, poised, professional throughout all of the wedding day chaos. All of our wedding party was so impressed by Halie's well thought out photography. When we received our sneak peeks, we were just in utter shock!! They were stunning and exactly what we were hoping for. Halie’s photography style is the perfect blend of romantic and timeless. David and I are forever grateful for the memories that Halie and her team captured on our wedding day. We truly cannot recommend Halie enough! She is amazing!

I'm Megan, a fine art wedding photographer serving New England & the Pacific Northwest. I've been photographing weddings since 2015, and I still tear up during just about every wedding ceremony. When I'm not behind the camera, I'm running after my one year old daughter, renovating our 1932 colonial home, and adding to my continually growing collection of cookbooks.

Megan is one of the kindest, nicest, most wonderful humans, on top of being a truly fantastic photographer. From the first call to discuss her style and how the process would go, we could tell she was different. She was so easy to work with! She made everything feel so natural and put both me and my now-husband at ease. She was considerate and creative both during our engagement shoot and our actual wedding day, offering suggestions and taking advantage of the beautiful scenery, golden hour, and spontaneous moments to truly capture our day. She treated us and our party with tenderness and grace, and brought an incredible calm to a very busy day. Her photos are also absolutely gorgeous! Looking at them, I honestly can’t believe they’re real! She elevated what she saw and captured our day, distilling the emotions and experience, and produced photos that are a perfect encapsulation of our day: full of pure joy, love, and light. I am so glad we worked with Megan - we will treasure the moments she captured forever. I cannot recommend her highly enough!

Hey, I'm Mary! It's nice to meet you. Summing up who I am in an "about me" is always difficult. What you must know: (1) I'm a nerd. If you want to talk video games, LOTR or Doctor Who, we HAVE to sit down for a bourbon or a coffee. (2) Yes, I will be out on that dance floor with you snapping away while joining in on the fun. And (3), while I'm a photographer first, supporting you during the planning process feels crucial to me - from building a timeline to having your back any way I can.

Additionally, Mary was incredibly responsive and organized, answering every question. She even visited our wedding venue with us in advance to scout out the best spots for photos making the day of that much smoother. We are thrilled with the final results and couldn't recommend Mary more highly. She truly made our wedding day so special and we couldn’t imagine the day without her there capturing all the special moments.

Terrence Irving Photography

  • Serves Essex, MA for additional fees

Black Connecticut wedding photographer, purveyor of the artistically-engineered photography experience. That's a crafty way of saying, I'm a computer nerd who's pretty good at photography and believes in great service! Digital image gallery, print rights, and beautiful, physical prints included with every package. My work focuses on telling my couples’ wedding day love stories through the pictures I capture. Artwork is the goal, whether it’s a highly-stylized posed photo or a moment where a loved one is emoting.

We found Terrence very early on in our wedding process. His gallery had some of the most beautiful photos we had ever seen; some were dramatic, which is what my husband loves, others were soft, warm, and candid, which were my favorites. To find a photographer that could fit both of our styles was so exciting. Terrence’s package was over our budget, in part because we were marrying in NY, so would have to pay a travel fee. I was convinced I could find someone within budget. I searched and agonized for an additional two months. Finally, my now-husband convinced me that the photos would be the one thing from the day we would get to keep forever and we sprang for Terrence and let me tell you, both of us have agreed the extra cost was more then justified. In high heat and humidity and looming storms, Terrence did everything he could to keep us on-schedule and to get incredible photos at a venue he had never even been to. We just received our sneak peak gallery and all of us are in awe of the photos he captured. We look forward to working with Terrence in the future for other big life moments, and you should absolutely book him too - engagement shoot or wedding, Terrence will capture your moment perfectly!

Your head photographer will always be me, Steph! You can call me Steph or Stephanie, I honestly like both which is why you will see the two interchanged often across my platforms and emails. I am a born and raised New Englander from Western Mass. and a wash-ashore currently living on Cape Cod. My favorite part about living here is the community of local artists and small businesses. We make up the heart and soul of the Cape and it is such a unique feeling to be a part of it.

Steph is amazing! I was overly stressed and had a lot of back and forth with postponing my wedding due to Covid twice and then finding a new photographer after a few issues with our previous one. Then a good friend referred me to Steph. She was so kind and helpful from day one. She was there to answer all my questions, no matter how many there were, leading up to the wedding. The day of, she was so patient with me and was able to keep the bridal party moving along and get pictures done so quickly so we could enjoy the party. The pictures came out better than we could have hoped for .. and we got them back SO fast. Plus they came in a beautiful keepsake box. Trust me, you want to use her for all your special occasions!

From Georgia With Love was the perfect choice for our wedding photography. Their communication style was clear, relaxed, and easy, which put us at ease throughout the entire process. The quality of their work was beyond words - they captured every special moment with such care and creativity. They were a calming presence on our wedding day, ever prepared and quick to lend a hand, even helping with hair and makeup in a pinch. Their posing suggestions were amazing and unique. We're so grateful to have had this non-binary, non-intrusive ninja as part of our special day.

Located in SF. As a Photographer; I'm a storyteller. My imagery captures a harmony of raw emotion, authentic evanescent moments, and curated artistry. I believe in camaraderie with my couples to create beautiful memories, love stories shared over wine & a fire-pit and giving back with each wedding I book. I champion for kindness and giving back. My couples echo this right back. They are stylish, authentic and plan amazing details but also know how to pop the champagne and head to the dance floor.

Animus-Art photography consists of two amazing humans, Pedro & B, who are even more perfect when they come together. Working with them on our engagement and wedding was nothing short of a fun adventure. My husband and I are not exactly naturals on camera, but you wouldn’t know that by looking at the images they captured. Pedro & B are fun, creative, passionate, hard-working and incredibly talented!! They go above and beyond to get the perfect shot! Their work is exceptional and speaks for itself. I couldn’t imagine the images being any more perfect. But aside from that, Pedro & B offer something truly special with their personalities and work ethic. They weren’t just our photographers- especially on the wedding day- they took on so many roles. They were like the best friend who never left our sight. While we were getting ready, Pedro spent much of the time with my husband and the boys, and B stayed with me and the girls. B was my superwoman on my wedding day. She wasn’t just one of my photographers - she was my maid of honor, my friend, my event coordinator, my personal assistant, my therapist. She just seemed to be there every second of the day, willing and ready to help out in every way. All this, while she snapped hundreds of beautiful, creative photos. Pedro is the kind of photographer who listens while you describe your ideal look to your hair dresser so that he can make sure it stays that way all night. And as he prompts you to fix your hair 3 hours into your reception, you smile with pride because you know you hired the best photographers in the world. The level of attention they pay to detail is unreal! They anticipate your needs before you even know about them. They capture real moments in a beautiful way. They know how to take photos while letting you be yourself- no constant stopping and prompting. In my opinion, those make for the best shots. They have so much fun doing what they do, it’s infectious. I am so so happy that they were our wedding photographers and hope to have them capture other important events in our future. Absolutely THE BEST!!!
