Highly highly recommend Amanda! We got her information from our venue and I am so glad we went with her for our wedding. My husband and I were nervous about having our photos taken as we never had them done professionally before, but when we did our engagement session she told us exactly how to pose and what to do and they came out so beautiful and I still love looking back at our wedding photos, she captured the best moments. She even shot our newborns photos 10 months after our wedding (our honeymoon baby, lol) and she is a wizard with a swaddle blanket. Can’t recommend her enough!

Hi! I'm Amy Ronk, a photographer currently based in Denver, CO. After attending photography school, weddings kind of stole my heart.

Working with Amy was a dream! She has such calm energy and was able to pivot quickly as rain interrupted our pre-wedding photos. She also managed to wrangle our family & friends group photos, even during cocktail hour! We had so much fun working with her. And the photos are stunning! Our sneak peek was perfect and we are looking forward to the rest. And we loved the unexpected tie to Montana even when getting married in Colorado!

Randall Garnick Photography

  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $3,850
  • Serves Essex, NY for additional fees

It's been 12 years running this small business as a Boston wedding photographer, a New England wedding photographer, working all around the greater Boston area and traveling to destination weddings as well. It's been a crazy ride so far and I can honestly say I still love what I do! I am so grateful that 250+ wedding couples have trusted me to be a part of their weddings, to document one of the milestone days in their lives and to create beautiful heirloom albums and artwork they can enjoy for a lifetime. Ultimately that's what it's all about, serving my clients and creating an amazing experience.

Awarded Best of Zola
My husband and I hired Randall to serve as our photographer for our wedding last summer. In short, Randall did a wonderful job. From the first call he was very kind and relaxed, which we really appreciated given how stressful the wedding planning process can be at times. We selected his “Notting Hill” package, which we loved because it included not only wedding photography, but also an engagement photoshoot, a guestbook based on the engagement photoshoot, and a wedding photo album (with parent copies). The engagement photoshoot came out beautifully; we tried to time it to coincide with the foliage peaking, and Randall was extremely patient and flexible with us as we tried to plan for and work around the unpredictable Boston fall weather. The engagement photoshoot itself also came out great; even though neither my husband nor I had experience getting our picture taken in this type of setting, Randall made us feel very comfortable and had excellent ideas to take advantage of the scenery. We loved the photos so much we had trouble choosing which to use for our save the date cards. During the weeks leading up to the wedding, Randall was very organized and responsive, and stayed in close touch with us to discuss different logistics and plans related to coordinating with the videographers, timing, portraits with family members, and sunset photos, etc. On the wedding day itself, Randall kept us very calm and relaxed throughout the day, worked seamlessly with the videographers, and also took many amazing photographs that made great use of the colors and light, showed his impressive creative vision, and beautifully captured every part of the day. We were so delighted to see all the photographs a few months after the wedding, and to later work with Randall on a photo album which provides a tangible pictorial summary of our day (in fact, we also had trouble choosing what should go into the album because there were also so many great pictures to choose from). Finally, in addition to our wedding reception last summer, Randall also served as a photographer for our legal city hall wedding last winter, and similarly did an excellent job with that too. In short, we had a terrific experience working with Randall and feel very lucky to have been able to work with him as our wedding photographer.

Gabbie Burseth Photo

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $7,000
  • Serves Essex, NY for additional fees

Gabbie Burseth grew up documenting everything and saving mementos in empty Christmas boxes. After studying at the Grady School of Journalism at the University of Georgia, she discovered an affinity for weddings and their accompanying treasures. Her philosophy as a wedding photographer is to observe with as little interference as possible — no faking it, no do-overs, no “for the camera”. Her biggest desire is for couples to be present at their wedding, not stuck in a photoshoot. Her work is punctuated by rich and vibrant color, the timeless quality of analog film, and a sense of humor found in fleeting moments.

Working with gabbie was exactly what I wanted it to be! She made us comfortable and we ended up with photos where we look exactly like ourselves, and I couldn’t be happier!

Dan has been doing the website photos for Authentically You Counseling for the past few years. Although it’s not a wedding - I can speak to his character and work. Dan brings his sense of humor to his professional work to make everyone feel more comfortable in front of the camera. We are a fun bunch and he took advantage of that - offering some fun shots along with the professional ones. He was able to capture the personalities of those he photographed. For Dan, photography is more than it seems - it is the art of capturing moments, not poses - of capturing the beauty around him.

Welcome! I am a daughter of Vietnamese immigrants who chose to move to Connecticut, where I have lived for most of my life. I love the change of seasons in this part of the country and all the rich backdrops it brings for imagery (and mental health walks and runs). My cultural heritage is the foundation for my photographic passion. My camera allows me to work where I know I work best, behind-the-scenes, front row at some of the most profound moments in people's lives. In a pinch though, I'll be there carrying the train, making sure you don't get your shoes dirty and helping to support you where I can throughout your wedding day!

After meeting her for our engagement session, we immediately clicked with her and appreciated her attention to detail, which comes across so perfectly in her shots. She made us as fairly camera shy people comfortable with her (and her camera!). On wedding day, she was organized and executed our plans for multiple family/friend pictures seamlessly. We are so grateful that she captured our special day and can cherish her photos for the rest of our lives!

We started working together early and she had a questionnaire that covered everything we could think of. Her style is what drew us in and she did not cease to amaze in the moments that were captured.

My name is Maya (they/them), and I'm a queer, love-obsessed photographer operating out of Pennsylvania and traveling all over. I specialize in weddings and elopements, especially non-traditional, LGBTQ+, and multicultural celebrations. I am the 'picnic elopement in the woods' or 'weekend campsite celebration' or 'screw it, let's get married at a Waffle House' photographer.

Awarded Best of Zola
Maya is one of the most wonderful, genuine, and detailed photographers I've ever met, and I've worked with a lot of photographers in my line of work! My partner and I chose Maya first for our engagement photos because of their dynamic, warm style, and ended up enjoying working with them so much that we decided to book them for our wedding! My partner is quite shy and doesn't enjoy his photo being taken, but Maya made him feel so comfortable and confident. We are an LGBTQ couple, and Maya made us feel so valid and loved expressing who we are. Maya was so communicative throughout the whole wedding planning process, and constantly provided us with resources to help us with our general planning. Maya and their co-photographer took so much care and detail on the day of the wedding to get every small detail to every huge moment. Everything worked like literal clockwork, everything felt super chill and fun, and even shooting large family photos (with way too many cousins) ended up being a breeze! Maya truly cares about their work, especially their clients. We could not recommend Maya enough!!!

From the moment we first spoke with her we were impressed by her skills and how easy going she was working with clients. She was understandable and checked in with us to go over our wedding day. She even helped us make a guideline we were comfortable with to help on our big day. Her work is simply beautiful, perfect, and incredibly unique - she captured the most natural and beautiful moments of our special day! Drozephotographs helped us create a schedule so we didn't have to worry about a thing, and made sure we felt at ease in front of the camera, providing helpful tips and poses that made our photos stand out.

Where do I even start? Jessica is probably hands down the easiest person we worked with on our wedding. We unintentionally scheduled our wedding on Mother's day and this was obviously an important day for her, but she worked with us anyway. She worked through our foolishness (my husband and I are incapable of being serious in most situations), and often would join in on the fun. She also provided a schedule of events which was incredibly helpful for me as I had no idea what I was doing. Jessica is an amazing photographer, but that is not really the best quality here. She is an amazing person all around and I highly recommend her!

We are so happy we chose Lucia to capture our elopement. Lucia is professional, fast to respond to emails and texts, helpful with decisions, accommodating to any requests, concerns, and excited to give advice. Duncan and I really wanted our photographer to capture our true emotion and to get candids of us, and Lucia DID THAT! The day felt blissful and a key point for us was that we got to enjoy the day without it feeling solely like a photoshoot which I think speaks to Lucias talent and confidence in her craft. She was good at giving guiding advice for posing without us feeling posed. I put together a Pinterest board and shot list which she really did a great job pulling inspiration from. The photos are stunning and the exact style we envisioned. Also, our sneak peak was huge and she got them to us very fast. If you are torn between photographers or are just starting your research, you're in very safe hands to stop here. We hope to continue reaching out to Lucia in the future when we start a family.

We had the pleasure of working with MoonTide Media for our wedding photography/videography. Shannon and Ally were an absolute joy to work with from start to finish. Their communication throughout the planning process was fantastic - they consistently kept us updated on travel plans and made sure we were all on the same page regarding the photography timeline. Most importantly, the quality of their work is stunning. We recently received a preview of some of our photos and were brought to tears by the beautiful images capturing our special day. Shannon and Ally have a true talent for capturing emotional moments without ever getting in the way. They were the hardest working team at our venue, going above and beyond to get every possible shot we could have imagined.

I’m sure your mind is racing with all that needs to be planned. It’s all very exciting but it can also be somewhat overwhelming. You’re planning the day that you’ve been anticipating your whole life and yet you only get one shot at it! By the time you get the hang of it, the planning is over! My goal as a wedding photographer is to make this one aspect of the planning process simple. Photography is more than just images, it’s a real part of your day. Not only do you deserve beautiful images, you also deserve an amazing photographic experience.

Awarded Best of Zola
From the moment we met Sarah, to today, I have to say Sarah is not just a photographer...she's a memory creator, unspoken coordinator, friend, and even family. Sarah is the type of photographer that you are surprised is as amazing as she is because she can balance being fun, professional, staging, and capturing EVERY SINGLE perfect moment. We've just started going through our final wedding photos, and are shocked to go, "Wow how did she get that photo?!" During the event itself, Sarah made sure to talk to everyone to stage for every photo we wanted, and she captured every detail of the venue perfectly. She also spent some of her time making sure my husband and I had EVERYTHING we needed to have our special day. Sarah is by far one of the best vendors I've ever worked with, and will be a consistent photographer of ours until the day she retires. Do NOT let her get away from doing your event!!!!

Your culture, style, love languages, and family dynamic play a huge role in how I approach your wedding. This is why I always schedule a call prior to booking!

Josie is incredible, we had high expectations from all of the stellar reviews - but she absolutely exceeded those high expectations. We had a very small wedding and a relatively small budget but she worked with us to find a way to shoot our wedding within our budget. She made sure to meet with us twice before the wedding to make sure she had a good idea of what our expectations were and who each person in our party was. On the day of, she felt like a friend/guest. She is so lovely, bubbly and so genuinely passionate about capturing every moment of your special day. We knew we wanted a documentary style photographer, but she is truly talented in her eye for detail and being able to make your wedding photos look like stills from a movie. She was able to coordinate photos without having us posing for them and she is so good at making anyone feel comfortable in front of her camera. We were so happy we decided to book her even before we got all of our photos back. Now that we have seen them, we are just elated.

I am SO HAPPY that we hired this company for our wedding! They were so kind and easygoing while also totally in command and on top of every request we had photography wise. Not only were they totally on top of keeping us on our timeline and capturing all of the special moments, but even went into super hero mode and on the spot sewed one of my bridesmaids dresses in the bathroom right before the ceremony without showing an ounce of stress. We already received our preview photos and are truly blown away by how they all captured our love & our special day.The attention to detail, calming presence, and creative approach are truly invaluable and we will be recommending Say Cheese Photography to everyone we know for years to come!

Okay, and maybe binge watching Schitt's Creek, Gilmore Girls, or Grey's Anatomy for the hundredth time.
