  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves Essex, MA

I’ve traveled around the world photographing people and places, and I’m proud to call Boston my home base. I love everything about weddings. Perhaps part of that is because of how happily married I am, how much I enjoyed planning and experiencing my own wedding, and how much happiness I still get from looking at the pictures from my big day. Those images will be with me and bring me joy for the rest of my life. To be able to give someone else such deep and lasting happiness from the images I create just makes me truly fulfilled.

We had a blast working with Julie! She is hilarious and instantly made us feel comfortable in front of the camera. Her work is stunning and we loved the way she captured our day. She has the perfect blend of artistic meets classic. I'd recommend her in a heartbeat and am so grateful to have her with us on our big day!

  • Serves Essex, MA

Hi! I'm Tracy! I honed my bartending skills 20 years ago in Las Vegas, NV, and began working weddings & corporate events 6+ years ago. After moving back to NH (home), I decided to bring Las Vegas experience and precision mixed with New England hospitality to the wedding and event scene. I love nothing more than working with couples to make sure their cocktail dreams for their big day are brought to life. I truly give 100% for my clients, and I work hard to make sure that the bar service is not only exceptional, but that it feels like you're spending time with old friends. We bring the party & charm, while you provide the alcohol.

Roving Cocktails did a phenomenal job at our party! Super fun and professional. Definitely will hire for all our events. Great staff, and a great way to have a professional experience while saving on liquor expenses.

Hair By Ashalina 

5.0

  • Beauty professional
  • Serves Essex, MA

I am a hairstylist + bridal specialist who has been in the industry for over 14 years. With each head of hair I style I fall more in love with what I do! The reward of making a woman step out of my chair feeling more beautiful than ever is what keeps my passion alive. I want to make choosing myself as your stylist one of the easiest choices you will make throughout this wedding process. I pride myself not only in my work but by making my clients day fun, relaxing + memorable!

I cannot recommend Ashlee enough! I was super worried about finding a hair stylist for my wedding; my bridesmaids knew what they were doing, but my mom, sister, and I all have complicated hair textures with various issues like over bleaching and alopecia. I knew I wanted someone I could trust - someone who would be nonjudgmental, positive, and honest. During my trial with Ashlee, we had pizza and yapped about various topics while we walked through different ideas. I also broke the news to her that I would have a different hair color and extensions on my wedding. Ashlee took it all in stride. On the morning of my wedding, Ashlee came in with my coffee order and immediately lit up the room. Everyone felt comfortable with her and she was such a joy. My sister, who experiences hair loss from medication, felt so beautiful on my wedding day and was able to have her hair done in a style that framed her face and hid any patches. After she was done with our hair, Ashlee stayed an extra couple of hours to do touch ups on my hair during my bridal portraits and even our couples portraits in downtown Boston! She helped me hold my veil and my dress and even took behind the scenes photos for my husband and I to have! Honestly, I can’t say enough wonderful things about Ashlee! You should stop reading this review and just send an inquiry already!

I am candid, communicative and caring. My goal always is to ensure you are heard and that you are comfortable throughout the process. In my portfolio you can see each couple's genuine happiness and comfort in their body language. It takes a lot to create the environment of trust. The rave reviews from my couples afterward show you how much they care about me in return. This environment of trust builds from the beginning and I honestly attract the kindest brides and grooms that allow me to create consistently strong images with heart in order to tell their story.

We highly recommend Bella! Bella was our wedding photographer and her work was incredible. Not only is she a very talented photographer, but she is very professional, easy to work with, communicates well, and makes you feel comfortable during the shoot/event. It's an easy decision - book Bella and you won't be disappointed!

Hey there! I’m Katherine, a Maine-based editorial and documentary-style wedding photographer. I love saltwater, the color blue, pubs with booths, my dog Annie, and cooking a big meal to loud music at the end of a long day.

Katherine took such incredible photos for our engagement and our wedding that we will treasure for decades to come. There are so many stressful moments of planning a wedding but picking Katherine as your photographer shouldn’t be one of them. She is amazing! Her organization helped our day run smoothly and she made sure that we got everything we requested. :)

I would describe my photography style as cinematic with true to life colors. I have the ability to switch from a journalistic photographer to a portrait photographer throughout a wedding day. The little in between moments make for the best photos, and I’m not about capturing awkward poses and forced smiles. I anticipate the moments that will happen throughout the day and have my camera ready. I want you to feel the emotions of the day when you look at your photos! Beautiful locations and perfect lighting can make spectacular images, but if it doesn’t help tell the story of your day, it is meaningless.

We worked with Drew for our engagement and wedding photos. The engagement photos were incredible and then he and Jose did an absolutely amazing job on our wedding photos. They were both so pleasant to work with and Drew was very communicative throughout. I would highly recommend Drew for any photography needs - especially weddings!

This might surprise you...Prior to photography, I was a professional concert dancer. So I understand what it's like to be in the spotlight. And I understand how to use my training as a dancer to make you look stunning in front of the camera. I know the mechanics of the body and how to pose you to look your best. And on your wedding day, that is exactly how you should feel.

We are wedding videographers (Savstrom Studios) who recently had the privilege of working alongside Lauren at a styled photo shoot in St. Paul. We have known Lauren for awhile and love her work so it was a lot fun getting to work together and seeing her creative process. Lauren has incredible talent for styling, directing, and posing couples, as well as capturing wedding details. She does an amazing job capturing everything she needs, collaborating with other vendors, and keeping the atmosphere fun for everyone. Highly recommend Lauren for couples looking for beautiful, timeless photos and an amazing client experience!

We are passionate about photographing kind-hearted people who are unapologetically themselves, and creating a safe and beautiful space in the wedding world for LGBTQ+ folx. Our favorite people to work with believe in giving back to their communities, that black lives always matter, that climate change is you know...real, and choose to embrace their own unique quirks and talents.

Awarded Best of Zola
When you elope in the middle of a pandemic, it matters all the more that you love your photographer--since they'll be the only other person at your wedding. :) And in short, we couldn't be happier that ours was Shawnee. She has such a gift and a love for the work she does—and it shows. We knew she was the right person from the moment we met on Zoom--she is warm and kind, asked all the right questions, and instantly put us at ease. My partner and I eloped at the end of October 2020 in DC, just before the election. It was a whirlwind moment for so many reasons, especially as a queer couple. And it mattered to us that the person who captured those treasured memories, really understood what that moment meant to us. Everyone who sees our photos marvels at how wonderful they are—and no doubt we look great, but Shawnee’s warmth and direction and stellar eye really made all the difference. Vibing with your photographer matters—we’re so grateful to have found one with such grace and as much love for her art as Shawnee. <3

Tired of not seeing yourselves represented in the wedding industry? Welcome to the RTP fam - we're a husband and wife duo shooting a combination of digital, film and Polaroid photos so that your gallery will deliver all the vibes and capture your sick, nontraditional love. And because of all the time we'll spend together getting to know you and crafting the perfect photo timeline for your day, you'll feel like we're just your two best friends there to capture the moments. No matter your size, race, gender, sexual orientation or religion, we're here to hype you up as you share all your wildest wedding ideas with us!

Meaghan and Evan photographed our Halloween wedding and we couldn't imagine having anyone else! We met Meaghan and Evan last October when they shot our engagement photos. They were more than willing to trudge through our favorite park and stop at all our favorite spots to get some beautiful photos we used for our save the date. We got to get to know them a little more over at our favorite little ramen restaurant after the session and of course we were instantly sold! Meaghan was super communicative and responded to every email I sent her pretty much right away every single time. As we got closer to the wedding day, she sent an incredibly detailed questionnaire. It covered everything from our most important shots to what weird family dynamics she should be conscious of; we sincerely appreciated this level of care, especially as a queer couple with some iffy family things. When I was hiring vendors, it was extremely important to me to find vendors who were queer/queer friendly and body positive, and Meaghan checked off both boxes in spades. My wife and I both have huge body insecurities and are deeply self-conscious of photos-but Meaghan made us both feel so beautiful. I was never even aware of the parts of myself I am usually hyper aware of because Meaghan and Evan both made us feel so comfortable. We were able to laugh and feel every emotion without once worrying about how we would look in the photos. On the day of, Meaghan kept us right on track without rushing us or making us feel stressed. We were definitely running behind at points but Meaghan handled it all with grace and helped me keep my head above water the whole time. They captured every moment in such a storybook way that we are able to talk about and remember every detail of the day based on the photos. This gallery is such a keepsake and such a special reminder of the best day of our lives. Its so heartwarming to look back and see how happy we and our guests look. And my wife and I both couldn’t have asked for more stunning photos of ourselves. We both look and feel so feminine, so whimsical, so magical. She captured our authentic selves, which is what makes her photos so unique and beautiful. I can't wait to order our prints and have these photos in our home forever! Thank you, Meaghan and Evan. There's so much more I could say but I'll leave off with, we are so grateful to have had you on our day. We love our photos so much. And we can't wait to have you do another shoot for us sometime in the near future! We cannot recommend you highly enough!

I believe pictures shouldn’t be painful. I want you to feel special, happy, gorgeous, and well-cared-for throughout your photography adventure, but most of all I want you to have fun. A relaxed couple makes an even more beautiful couple on that most important of days, and I will go above and beyond for my couples to ensure that is exactly what happens. I’m not just a photographer on your wedding day: I’m a friend.

I've never been comfortable in front of a camera and our engagement shoot was a big point of anxiety for me. Within 5 minutes, we were laughing and completely relaxed. It resulted in beautiful photos. Between that time and the wedding, we had developed such a friendship that she was more of a guest than a vendor. Her creativity and eye were just incredible. Our photos and photo book are amazing. We'd hire her again and again and again.

In the planning process, she made sure to give me plenty of options and was so patient with me, as I had a pretty tight budget. Kendall gave me other options that were more budget friendly, while still showing me what it would look like with my origional thoughts. I ended up loving her ideas way more than my own!! She never once made me feel pressured! She handled absolutely everything so that on the day of the wedding I didn't have to think at all. When she showed me the arrangements and archway, I was brought to tears! Her talents, customer service, pricing, and genuine love for what she does is truly unmatched.

My couples mean the world to me. I love hearing their stories, what makes them tick, and the things that are important to them. It’s my goal to capture them exactly the way they are; how they crack jokes, poke fun, dance together, hold one another. I’m there to capture the genuine tears, the laughs, how you just fit so well together. With directive posing, I bring out real chemistry and personalities. With my laid back vibe, I’ll ensure even the photo-heavy parts of the day are a breeze. I believe every single part of a wedding should be a blast and that every couple should be celebrated in their own unique way.

I could not have asked for a better person to capture my wedding! On our wedding day, it poured rain and I was absolutely devastated that the outdoor wedding I had been dreaming of was not happening. As I was sitting there faced with that reality, about to ruin my makeup with tears, Andrea swooped in like a superhero and genuinely made me feel like the rain was a good thing. She was the only voice of reason that made me feel like everything was still perfect. She ran around in the rain with us all day capturing the most gorgeous photos and I didn’t feel like I missed out at all. She was prepared with clear umbrellas and we actually had fun! She is also just so talented, the pictures and the saturation are just absolutely gorgeous, and not only that but she also has an absolute talent for capturing joy and movement. All my vendors have chosen to use her photos from my wedding on their websites, seriously just hire her!!!

Alex was the DJ for our wedding, and he was so easy to work with. He uses a program that outlines our event by the minute. We were able to select the songs we wanted to be played, that we didn't want to be played, etc. We let him pick the music for some parts, but for other parts of the evening, we selected all of our songs. He made the reception so much fun - he really knows how to read the crowd! Very fun DJ! During the planning process, we met twice. He was super punctual and was able to answer all of our questions. We planned (what we thought were complicated) timed entrances to music, but he easily brought those ideas to life. We highly recommend!

I have always been enthusiastic about photography. One thing that really got me into photography was realizing that every moment can be something very special. I like to take pictures of candid moments with natural light. With those, my camera is just clicking and the results are always phenomenal! I believe that one photo could create an incredible story. That's why I have lots of affection towards every photo and I work on them with all of my heart.

Julie was very professional, on time and very sweet. She was so easy to work with that it made the day less stressful! Her pictures came out beautiful and beyond expectations. She made sure to capture every moment and even the candid photos. We have a very long traditional Vietnamese wedding from 8am -9pm so I was very grateful that she was able to breeze through the hectic day and still smiling at the end. Her professionalism and work ethic is what made her stand out. Thankyou so much! I ended up booking a mini photo session for my maternity shoot almost a year after my wedding; you can say that she has become a friend and a lifelong family photographer!

In 2004, after planning several events and weddings, she combined her professionalism and experience in business and her passion for wedding consulting to create Tangorra Wedding Planning. Linnea has been professionally trained through the Association of Bridal Consultants and has worked with some of the finest providers and vendors in the industry.

To put it simply, Linnea and her team are the best. Growing up in Massachusetts, I knew this is where we wanted to get married, however we were planning from out of state and needed someone with feet on the ground. From our first introductory phone call, we were confident Linnea not only had years of wedding planning experience, but she knew everything (and everyone) there was to know about weddings in Boston. Linnea answered all our emails, calls, messages promptly and she anticipated things before I could even ask. She easily and quickly set up meetings for us with our vendors. Even when I questioned some of our own choices of having a small wedding, she constantly reassured us that this was our day to enjoy! We valued her opinion on venues and vendors, and trusted who she had worked with. If Linnea said a vendor was great, we knew she meant it. In fact, she helped us choose one of the most beautiful venues (Boston Harbor Hotel) for our small, intimate, summer wedding. I had always expected the wedding planning process to be chaotic, stressful, and anxiety provoking, but with Linnea on our team I literally could not have been more calm. On the day of, I was able to enjoy myself and savor the moments, I did not have to worry about a single thing! The day was beyond perfection. We still have guests commenting that it was the best wedding they had ever been to! I am forever grateful for Linnea, and if you are considering a wedding planner - hurry up and get her on your team! She will be your best decision!

Almost 20 years of experience and I still get as excited as I did when I first started photographing events! I got my BFA in photojournalism at Rochester Institute of Technology and my common sense from a well-lived, full life. From intimate weekday elopements to full scale destination events that require a team of photographers, I have done it all. I focus on telling the most full and vibrant story of your event, so you can look back and feel like you didn't missed a thing.

A camera can pick up the visual attraction of a moment, but most times it feels impossible to relive the actual energy of that place in time. Carla - is the absolute key to capturing every ounce of that magical energy. My wedding day was truly the most remarkable day of my life, and every single picture Carla took brings me back to that exact moment in a way I never thought a photo could do. Not only is she a visual genius - but she set the tone for the entire day. Some people in the bridal party who HATE having their picture taken, had so much fun they didn’t even realize they were having a “photo shoot”. Her attention to timing is flawless. Her timeline had every single picture we wanted to get, every friend and family member, every quirky thing I incorporated - and in the most elegant way I could have NEVER imagined. ALSO major plus - her son Jackson is a brilliant videographer. He did our video and their chemistry and vibrant energy was EVERYTHING!!!!! Do yourself a favor - just book her. She’s really busy because she’s so amazing so don’t wait. LOLOLOLOL

Art and storytelling is my passion when it comes to photography, but I'm also all about capturing raw real emotions, candid moments, and photojournalism. Aside from photographing your day, I also help with finding wedding vendors & venues, or location scouting and lodging if you're eloping. I want your wedding/elopement process to be as stress free as possible! Whether it's your wedding day, elopement, or another special occasion, I'll work closely with you to bring your vision to life.

I have worked with Krystalle many times over the last few years and I cannot say enough good things about her. She is truly skilled in what she does. She captures images in a way most photographers don't know how; finding the raw beauty and creating art in everyday moments. She is always a pleasure to work with, fun, down to earth, and very easy to connect with!
