HOME STATES: California & Massachusetts/New England Hey! Justina here. You'll probably find me at your local thrift shop with my iced coffee in the dead of winter listening to gospel or rnb music in my ear while shopping for records and broken cameras. When i find spare time i play apex legends or attend creative events. my guilty pleasure is reality tv and unsolved crime documentaries.

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Justina as our wedding photographer, and she exceeded all of our expectations! Just looking at her work, we knew she was the one. From our first meeting, it was clear that Justina possesses incredible talent and a true passion for her craft. Her ability to capture the essence of every moment is unmatched. Throughout the planning process, Justina was exceptional in her communication. She took the time to understand our vision, preferences, and any specific shots we wanted. Her responsiveness and professionalism made us feel confident and relaxed, knowing we were in great hands. On our wedding day, Justina went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. Her attention to detail and creative approach were evident in every shot. She managed to capture not just the big moments but also the candid, heartfelt interactions that made our day so special (and were a huge priority to us). Her warm and friendly demeanor made it easy for us and our guests to feel comfortable in front of the camera. When we received the final photos, we were blown away by the quality and artistry. Each image was a masterpiece, reflecting the joy, love, and excitement of our celebration - my husband and I both got emotional going through them together. I truly never expected to see such joy captured in every moment of our day, and I am so grateful. Justina has a remarkable ability to tell a story through her lens, and we will cherish these memories forever. How lucky are we to have found her! If you're looking for a photographer who is not only incredibly talented but also genuinely cares about making your day unforgettable, Justina is the one. We cannot recommend her highly enough!

Here’s why you NEED Dan Fortier of a Quiet Glimpse Photography by your side not just on your big day, but along the journey: • Dan is THOUGHTFUL. He will get to know you and make sure the 3 of you are a good match. He takes his time to thoroughly and completely answer questions like it’s the first time he’s heard them before. • Dan is PROFESSIONAL. He’s punctual, responds in a timely manner, makes himself available, and is super polite and easy going • Dan is so TALENTED!!! He’s a classically trained fine artist who also has a rich photography background before he fell in love with wedding photography, and as a senior graphic designer I completely trust him and his eye for composition, contrast, color, etc. his posing was creative and I saw him doing some cool things with the day of “details” (jewelry, hair piece, shoes, etc) Dan also gave us just as much information as we needed at the time as we went along, so as not to oversaturate us with info or overwhelm. (Tapping back into thoughtful) I’d give this man 10 stars if I could. Hire him!!! You won’t regret it. Sincerely, a 7/30/22 bride

We are Chris and Jennifer. Whenever we capture the magical moments of a wedding, we are transported back to our special day when we stood hand in hand and promised to love each other forever. It is truly a privilege to be able to contribute meaningfully to such an important chapter in our couples' lives. We love to walk on the beach with our bare feet digging into the sand, hike along forest paths to film a sunrise ceremony at the top of a mountain, and sit on the couch on rainy days to binge-watch Suits or The Office. We also love getting to know our couples and hearing their love stories.

Awarded Best of Zola
We decided pretty last minute to hire a videographer. I contacted two vendors our venue recommended & didn't get great vibes. Then I came across Martin Films. Chris & Jen were amazing from the initial conversation. I felt like they genuinely cared before we were even clients. Our video is the best part of our day!! It still makes me tear up when I watch it, even 6 months later. If I had to pick one absolute must have for our wedding, it would be this company! They captured our day perfectly & I can't thank them enough. They most certainly have a gift & I'm so thankful they shared it with us. If you're on the fence about a videographer, don't be. If you hire Martin Wedding Films it will be the best part of your special day too! P.s. my favorite photos came from their video!

Luke and Alexis produced a documentary film for our wedding at the Boston Public Library - the film was even better than we expected. We were on the fence about a videographer given the cost, but after having these two wonderful folks at our wedding and seeing the video they produced for us, we know we would be so regretful had we not decided to make the investment and to do so with Natural Focus Films. They were easy to work with before and during the event and during the wedding itself we knew we had entrusted the right people to be responsible for documenting our special day. They are very down-to-earth and willing to work with you to make sure you get exactly what you are looking for from their work. We genuinely couldn't be happier with Natural Focus Films and would highly encourage anyone who is on the fence about hiring a videographer, to hire Luke and Alexis. It is an investment you most certainly will not regret. It is also really cool that donate 10% of their revenue from your individual contract to wildlife and environmental conservation efforts. We will cherish our video forever, and we again, cannot be happier. This is a really cool company and you should book them immediately!!

I’m blessed to be turning what started as a small hobby into an incredible journey where I get to capture such intimate moments in couple's lives. I graduated from UConn with a degree in psychology and journalism; both those tracks have only helped me in capturing human emotion through a photojournalist lens. An ambivert, 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!

Kim was the best vendor we worked with throughout our wedding planning experience! We were lucky enough to meet her at our venue, which was just an added bonus. Her communication and organization is unbeatable!! Her direction, which I stressed to her we needed during our sessions (engagement and pre/post wedding ceremony photos) was extremely helpful! My husband and I are not huge picture people, so having her there to guide us and literally point us in the right direction was a huge sigh of relief, we knew our photos were going to come out great.

I am very lucky that I got Shelby to take our engagement photos in Central Park this past year. She helped me pick the right spot in the park and factored in all the variables that a guy would typically not think about for engagement photos. I live in Kansas City and worked with her virtually and she was awesome through the entire process. I never met Shelby in-person until the day of our engagement, and she was on-time and ready to get the shot when I went down on one knee. Her photos came out great and we are incredibly happy with them. We have already sent multiple copies to our relatives thanks to her reliable photo sharing portal.

Outside of deciding to marry my wife, choosing Dear September Events (DSE) for our special day was one of the best decisions we have ever made! We worked directly with DeAnne and Sarah, who were so kind and patient. Despite our lack of specific direction, they took charge and delivered beyond our expectations. DeAnne understood our vision, even when we ourselves were not entirely sure what that vision was. She did not even bat an eye when we u-turned and decided an international destination wedding was the dream. We leaned on DeAnne heavily throughout the planning process, and she seamlessly brought everything together. Even with vendors in another country, nothing slipped by her! DeAnne was organized, understanding, and knowledgeable. She was always responsive and addressed any concerns we had, making the entire experience as stress-free and enjoyable as possible. She supported and advocated for us, even after the celebrations were over when some details needed to be resolved with a vendor. Working with her, it was clear that DeAnne has a real passion for her work and loves what she does!  Sarah was with us in person for day of coordination. She handled our group well and everything flowed flawlessly. We are sure there were many things going on behind the scenes that we are not even aware of, which allowed us to relax and fully immerse ourselves in the celebration knowing that she had everything handled. It was the small details that made having DSE so special. DeAnne checked in with us the whole time we were abroad and sent the sweetest messages. Sarah helped manage our families, corral our wedding parties, and made sure we were taken care of. It was incredibly warm on our wedding day, and Sarah made sure we hydrated and hid us in the shade every chance she got. She was equipped with napkins and blotting sheets, which were definitely needed!  We wholeheartedly recommend DSE to anyone looking for a dedicated, talented, and passionate wedding planning team! You definitely want DeAnne and Sarah on your side for your wedding process. We are forever grateful to DeAnne and Sarah for making our vision come to life and creating the most perfect wedding celebration!  Lots of love, Q M

She brought so much energy to our day, and was an absolute joy to hang out with all day. My husband, not one for all the details and photos, even had the best experience of his life with her.

Since 2013, I’ve been capturing love stories in a way that’s timeless, authentic, and uniquely yours. Whether it’s a quiet elopement or a big celebration, my approach blends classic elegance with photojournalistic storytelling. More than photography, it's about building trust and celebrating love in all its beautiful forms—honoring every culture, story, and connection.

On the day of the wedding and through the prep leading up to the big day, her fun and friendly personality shone through.

I’m here to capture nostalgic memories and help you remember the emotions behind the photos. I love capturing those truly candid moments. The kind of photos that put you right back in the moment five, ten, fifty years later. I'm a Southern California based photographer that will travel wherever you want to document your love! I'm constantly exploring with laid-back couples that want to capture genuine moments about their relationship. When I'm not taking pictures, you can usually find me hanging out with my loved ones, hiking, watching sitcoms, or taking a spontaneous trip.

Emily’s photography portfolio and aesthetic captured my attention, I just knew that my husband and I had to work with her. She captured our love, laughter, and happiness so beautifully. She made us feel comfortable and the session felt effortless, which I was worried about since we’ve never had professional photos taken before. She’s magical, please please work with her! You won’t be disappointed!

My goal for your event is straightforward: to create a musical atmosphere your guests will enjoy, in a tasteful way to conserve your excellent reputation. I look to do this by curating my family-friendly music library with all genres, removing instances or entire songs with profanity, vulgar descriptions, and offensive lyrics. I want you and your guests to feel comfortable for the entirety of the event, starting with the mood music that represents your style, whether you've chosen every song or have a few key picks you want me to build a playlist around.

Dylan was absolutely phenomenal as our wedding DJ and emcee! From the very start, he was incredibly communicative, professional, and so helpful throughout the planning process. He gave us great suggestions and made sure every detail was perfectly planned. On the day of our wedding, he truly exceeded our expectations. Not only did he keep the energy high and the dance floor packed all night, but the flow of the entire evening was seamless. As the emcee, he guided us and our guests through every key moment—from introductions to speeches, to special dances—with such ease. His timing was flawless, and everything transitioned so smoothly that we could just relax and enjoy the night. The vibe he cultivated was unbelievable—it’s hard to even put into words just how perfect his song choices were. He expertly read the room, adjusting the music to keep everyone on the dance floor and having the time of their lives. It felt like he knew exactly what we wanted without us even having to ask. The transitions were seamless, the energy was high, and everyone (of all ages) was up and dancing. We had so many guests tell us this was the best wedding they’ve ever been to, and a huge part of that credit goes to Dylan. He truly brought our celebration to life, and we couldn’t have asked for a better DJ. If you’re looking for someone who will make your wedding unforgettable, Dylan is your guy!

I'm a hopeless romantic at heart! And if there's one thing in this life that I absolutely adore, it's a GOOD love story. If I had to pick a second thing, it would be working with couples that are authentic, joyful, and unapologetically themselves. So as you can imagine, weddings and elopements are my absolute FAVORITE! Joining along on the happiest day of your life is a dream, and I adore all the moments I get to share with my couples!

Hiring Jo as our wedding photographer was the best decision! She is incredibly talented and delivered incredibly high quality, beautiful photos and captured our wedding day perfectly. We went with her 8 hour package and added a second shooter as well. Jo delivered our FULL album early and her photography style is exactly what we wanted. Jo expertly handled family photos which can be challenging, but she was organized and direct and made the experience efficient. Our guests kept commenting on how amazing she was and seeing the final album blew us away. One of our guests commented that our photos looked like they were "straight out of a Vogue wedding feature" and that's all because of Jo's eye and talent. I highly recommend working with Jo to anyone in the Boston/MA area because of her incredible talent, her professionalism and her organization throughout the day!

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.
