Holly, 30ish 60 miles away- Active 1 day ago. I Enjoy- Tacos, The Office, Long walks on the beach, I don't have any cats, (just 3 kids, don't worry they're mostly tame) not into games looking for the real deal. What I'm looking for- I looking for real, happy couples who want all the moments of their joy-filled day captured in a real and beautiful way. whoops... wrong profile.... ehhh it works. lol

Awarded Best of Zola
My husband and I planned our wedding for 2020... before the world went haywire, and Holly rode the wave with us from beginning to end. Between reschedules, engagement photos, her photographing our spur of the moment small elopement, and then our big wedding celebration and vow renewal this year with family and friends, I can say with complete confidence I know her work ethic and her commitment to her craft. And they are both top notch. She will do anything to get the perfect shot, she will make your nervous partner more than comfortable being themselves in front of the camera, and she will even pin a boutonnière (because this bride could not!!) when in need. We have so many perfect moments captured I can't even begin to thank her for, because with the right photographer you can relive a moment over and over. You will not be disappointed if you choose Holly for your special day!

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.

Kelsey Converse

  • Photojournalistic style

  • Serves Gardiner, ME

I’m Kelsey – a New Hampshire native elopement photographer for adventurous couples. I’m an avid traveler, having been to over 30 countries across 5 continents and 30 US states. So while I serve New England, you can also be confide in me no matter where you decide to elope! Telling your story means so much to me, and I will do whatever I can to make it the most unbelievable day and experience. I help location scout, provide vendor recommendations and more to make your day seamless so you can show up and enjoy! I keep you in the moment, and am there for you every step of the way. Please reach out on my website - www.kelseyconverse.com !

If you have found your way to the reviews for Kelsey and are still reading reviews then my first piece of advice is to stop immediately and reach out before she is fully booked for the time you'd be needing her! Working with Kelsey is a dream. As a person, she is thoughtful and comforting more than I could explain. Particularly being a 2020 #CoronaBride there's been a lot of ups and downs in the wedding planning process and somehow Kelsey stepped in for the role of friend, bridesmaid, planner, and day of coordinator. Oh - and she still managed to capture EVERYTHING on her camera! Her work is beautiful to say the least. Working with her on actual shoots feels so easy and comfortable, being the subject of her photos is legitimately fun. She gets to know you and wants to capture you and your love in it's own authentic way. Sure there are some posed photos, the kind that you'll be happy to have and look at and maybe also stare at with disbelief that's actually you... but for the most part she wants to you laugh and love and be dynamic and just be yourself. She captures real, pure love. And that, to me, is how I want to look back at my wedding day. The real moments. The in-between moments when you're not doing anything in particular. Kelsey is the kind of person that brings out the best in others and can spot the best, too. So, if you've read this far and are still not sure then I have no words for you. But if you've read this far with a smile just thinking about working with Kelsey, I can personally promise that you'll truly have the best day ever with her. I cannot wait for any and every reason to continue working with Kelsey in the future!

I am a self proclaimed romantic at heart, always have been. After 19 years of marriage, I am a believer in true love! Photographing the special day for couples of all ages and walks of life, is a real joy and I get a charge of excitement for each gig. Anyone that has met me knows that I am an extroverted person who is always on the move; always talking and thinking; and often engaging with others. I make everyone feel at ease. As a wedding photographer I leverage my experience as a pro along with my personality.

Awarded Best of Zola
Jim has truly become such a great friend in this process. The biggest thing you want to feel on your wedding day is comfort and support. Jim goes out of his way to make this happen. We first met and worked with Jim for our engagement photos. We had so much fun! Jim wasn't afraid of getting in the sand and water to get our pictures in the ocean. When our wedding was postponed, Jim was there to shoot our elopement (and keep the secret)! After waiting for eight months, we finally had our wedding. Even though it was raining, Jim captured every moment of our amazing day. We will be working with Jim for all of our photography needs in the future. Thank you, Jim!

Rebecca Cee Photography

  • Serves Gardiner, ME

Easygoing and thoughtful are the two adjectives that come to mind when considering how I approach my work. As a wedding photographer, it’s my job to help my couples feel comfortable, ultimately setting the tone for everything. This approach allows me to preserve the authenticity of your wedding day so that every image in your gallery is true to you. Based in Boston, I have over seven years of experience within the industry and a BFA in photography from the School of the Museum of Fine Arts at Tufts University.

Rebecca is an amazing photographer and takes beautiful pictures. Everyone who saw our pictures has commented on the quality and elegance of the photos. She is friendly and punctual and organized which helped us stay on schedule. She is very professional, and very communicative about specific photo shots/ideas during pictures and very clear about specific poses and how to execute them so it looks flattering. I would recommend her to everyone as their wedding photographer or event photographer!

Little Redd Photography

  • Serves Gardiner, ME

My love of photography began a decade ago when I was introduced to film development in my high school's dark room. I went on to further my education in college where I majored in fine art photography. I find that in my free time, I am hiking with my other half, Jameson, and our two lovely dogs! There are so many ways for me to connect to the world, whether through nature, furry friends, or a good meal I am happy to be sharing it with someone. I'm excited to get to share my passion with the world through Little Redd Photography.

I am a wedding photography and videographer and I had the privilege to work with Danielle. She does a great job at putting people at ease and making the photography section of a wedding day fun! Danielle is incredibly helpful with planning your day and making it run smoothly. Her photos come out fantastic and she has a great eye for creating unique wedding photos. You'd have a hard time finding someone who can deliver great photos and make the experience special like Danielle can. I'd work with again anytime!

Tara Tomlinson Photography 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,500
  • Serves Gardiner, ME

I have been photographing weddings professionally for 14 years and have reached the phase in my career where I can relax and have fun with my couples knowing that I have the skills and experience to back up my passion and creativity. I split my time between the Gulf Coast of Florida and New England, though I now call Maine home. I am both a dog & cat person - I have a Golden Retriever named Oliver, a lab mix named Juniper, a Maine Coon named Meadow, a Siamese mix named Healy, and a teeny little runt-of-the-litter kitty named Lucie. I am an avid audiobook listener - if I am editing, cleaning, or driving, I most likely have an audiobook going!

Hiring Tara Tomlinson as our photographer was hands down the best and most important decision we made for our wedding. From the first phone call we knew she would be who we'd hire for our wedding. Throughout our wedding planning process Tara was excited for us and open to answering our questions when we asked for advice since the wedding planning process was so new and different (I'm the first person in my husband and I's families to get married so we were figuring everything out on our own) and Tara offered support in the form of recommendations when we asked. My husband and I from the beginning were not planning on a first look and wanted to be traditional, on a call with Tara I wanted to hear about her timeline with and without the first look because I was curious and didn't want to be closed off to any ideas for the wedding. Tara explained both timelines perfectly and very respectfully not pushing one or the other. We ended up going with a first look and couldn't be happier with our decision! Tara was extremely professional and personable, this is defiantly not a person you will ever think of micro-managing at any point in the planning process or day of the wedding. Day of the wedding we couldn't have felt more comfortable with her process and vision. The tone she uses throughout the day and with everyone she is shooting was perfect and everyone enjoyed the process and time with her. We received our sneak peaks VERY quickly with more photos then we ever expected at that point. Our photos were beyond what we ever could have expected, a true dream come true and I'm extremely grateful for her and what she produces. I'll end this review with I don't take reviews lightly and am very honest, this women deserves every word written here!

Warren Lane Photography

  • Photojournalistic style

  • Serves Gardiner, ME

I became a wedding photographer to give you a sense relief that comes when you know you have a photographer that will be your ultimate hype person, be that person where you can always just be yourself in front of, and a person that will always look out for you on your big day. I want you to feel as if I am an extended friend throughout this process and trust me to capture who you truly are.

I can not say enough good things about Warren! Planning a wedding is so stressful and doing it during covid made it outright not a good time. Luckily we found Warren early in our planning process and he made us feel so secure about our photography decision. He was an excellent hype man throughout the whole planning process and especially on the big day. My bridal party loved working with him and had a blast taking photos. He truly makes you feel like family and takes great care to make you feel at ease through all of the awkward wedding poses. He captured our relationship in the most beautiful, romantic way. I have received endless compliments on my photos and I can’t wait to relive my day for so many years to come.

Lushi Song Photography

  • Photojournalistic style

  • Serves Gardiner, ME

Capturing all joyful moments, fulfilling celebrations, and timeless memories of weddings is a true passion of mine. Throughout my career I have developed techniques by using both digital and film mediums, allowing the camera to capture motion imagery as well as detailed portraits. As a professional photographer, my goal is to obtain the stories of each unique formality, as every participant has their own story to tell. I am a firm believer that organic and natural photos are the ones that will live on forever and bring back the heartfelt reminiscence of that moment. I am looking forward to hearing your story.

My husband and I can’t stop talking about Lushi and how much we appreciated her not only on our wedding day but the months and weeks leading up to it. From the minute we met Lushi two years ago, she felt like a friend which brought great comfort. We had to postpone our wedding due to Covid and she stayed in contact with us the whole time and never made us feel forgotten. The day of the wedding Lushi showed professionalism and grace which made me feel very much at ease during that hectic day. She was direct but also calm while navigating her surroundings, making sure she got the best shot. She was very quick with sending us “preview pictures” from the day to hold us over which were absolutely beautiful. Our family and friends commented on how talented and creative Lushi is as a photographer and how great the photos came out. We look forward to working with her again in the future, perhaps when we start a family of our own. We will highly recommend her to all family and friends looking for a photographer.

Katie Arnold Photography

  • Serves Gardiner, ME

One of my favorite parts about this job is watching confidence grow right before the lens. When couples go from, “we’re going to be hard to photograph, we’re so awkward.” to “ no way! That’s us?” my heart could explode every time! Because what is on my camera is exactly what I see in you. It isn’t “you’re so talented!” or “that’s an amazing camera!” no, no. It’s simply you with the one you feel most comfortable with and who fills your heart and soul as no one or thing can. That my friend is genuine love in its most simplistic and powerful form. And it’s what I capture best. :)

After doing much research, I was blessed to stumble across Katie on Instagram. I immediately fell in love with her work; her photos are rarely staged, all authentic, “in the moment” candid shots. On top of her amazing work she is the most kind hearted, down the earth person. Going to our engagement session, we didn’t know what to expect. We immediately felt comfortable with Katie and never felt awkward. We had to postpone due to COVID and Katie was so easy and accommodating! Our wedding photos are absolutely stunning, there truly isn’t a bad shot! I recommend Katie to every one and will continue to go to her in the future for any of my photography needs :)

  • Serves Gardiner, ME

The Leighton Co. is a husband and wife photography and filmmaking team documenting stories of love and life through intentional, modern, and genuine imagery. We believe that when the day isn't solely focused around the photos and video, then THAT is when you get the best footage.

I highly recommend Becca and Scott. I sent in an inquiry form, and soon after Becca scheduled a call for us to discuss what we envisioned for our wedding day and to tell us about their different packages. We were not certain that we wanted a videographer, but Becca and Scott helped to guide us to make the best choice for us. Leading up to our wedding day, Becca was great about communicating with us. And best of all she created a day of timeline for us! I was so stressed about the timing of the day, but once I saw her suggested timeline, I knew it would work out great. On the day of our wedding, both Becca and Scott were awesome. They were supportive and kind, making sure that we were comfortable and able to be where we wanted to. We never felt awkward or like we were “forcing it” for the cameras. Post wedding, Becca and Scott were again great about communicating with us about when they would deliver our finalized photos and video. Both our engagement and wedding photos/ videos are beautiful. The Leighton Co has a timeless style that we love, and they do a great job of capturing you and your day as it is. It is very obvious how much hard work they put in, and how dedicated they are to the couples they work with. I know that we will look back at our pictures and videos for many years and instantly remember how loved we felt that day.

Thomson & Thomson Photography is a must! Emily and Mark were such a pleasure to work with. From the very first conversation, we knew that we were in good hands for our June wedding. We started working with T&T a year out and they guided us each step of the way. We definitely recommend adding an engagement shoot as this was a great way for us to figure out what poses we did or didn't like, and get to know each other before the big day. Our wedding planner also loved working with them! Their professionalism and industry knowledge is a huge benefit. On the day-of they were clear and organized and ensured that we got all of our requested shots. Emily & Mark's attention to detail and style timeless. We are SO beyond happy with the shots we received. They capture the day so perfectly! We did a first look so that we could enjoy the cocktail hour with our guests and this meant we also got some great shots of our guests. Our guests have said that looking at the photos throws them right back into the moment which is exactly what we hoped for. I couldn't recommend Thomson & Thomson enough. From start to finish, they were incredible.

Christine went above and beyond to help us with wedding photography and delivered the wedding photos we hoped for. We had our photographer fall through at the last minute and had previously connected with Christine. Although she wasn't available for our full day, she connected us with a colleague who was able to fill in and handled all the photo editing. She also went an extra mile to meet the groomsmen for an extra photoshoot while the other photographer was with the bridal party. We are so grateful for all her time and effort to make our day special. The photos Christine took of the groomsmen were amazing!! They're so fun and captured the best moments. We were very happy with the editing and delivery was so fast after the wedding. Cannot recommend her more if you want bright, beautiful photos and to work with someone who truly cares about making your day and the photos perfect.

I am a photographer and artist from the Pacific Northwest with Costa Rican and Scottish roots. My favorite things are dinosaurs, exploring new cities, board games, soccer, National Parks, and whiskey. I have been fortunate to photograph 200+ weddings in my PNW home, to ruins in Scotland, cityscapes in Vietnam, to the beaches of Maui, and beyond! I live in Portland, Oregon with my partner, two dogs, and four cats | 🏳️‍🌈🦖⛰️✈️📸⚽🫶🏼🌈🌲🦕🏝 Fun Fact: I was born on Leap Year Day so I turn 9 this year 🥳!

Awarded Best of Zola
I have used many photographers in the past but none came close to the level of expertise that Leah possesses. Over the years, I've done business headshots with her, family photos, and most recently my wedding. Since I have used Leah's services for other things before, I knew what to expect as far as photo-quality goes; the real testimonial comes from how she handled the wedding. Shooting a wedding in another country with a chaotic family is no easy task, even I wouldn't wish it upon myself, but Leah truly knocked it out of the park: she checked in before the event day to go over the schedule, showed up early, got all of the extra shots that I requested, directed people, and just really took charge of the experience. Having her as my wedding photographer was literally one of the only non-stressful decisions I made for that event lol. The photos turned out beautifully, I really can't imagine having anyone else capture one of the most important events of my life. I recommend her wholeheartedly!!

If you're the kind of couple that would prefer their photographer feel like one of the guests as opposed to a paparazzi, and if when the neighbors complain about the noise, you just invite them to the party, keep reading. I take a documentary-style approach to my weddings. Roaming with a camera, I capture the candid moments and small details that make your wedding unique to you, while making sure to set aside time for a few special portraits.

Awarded Best of Zola
As a coastal Maine based event planner and coordinator, I was delighted to finally connect with Steph for a June wedding earlier this season, in Phippsburg. She was a joy to plan, meet and work with - from beginning to end. The couple LOVED her! Her professional and spirited approach to everything on the event day, helped ensure smooth flow of all activities - in fact, she seemed to always stay ahead of things! And honestly - the pictures she delivered (in a timely manner) were not only gorgeous, but so sweet, genuine, fun and playful in nature - and such a true representation of the fantastic experience the happy couple, their dog (!), and their lucky guests shared. I highly recommend hiring Steph to capture everything movin' and shakin' at events! And please take the time to get to know her personally as well. Following her Insta account is so uplifting. It's adorable!

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
We used Gabbie for our wedding in November of 2021. She was so professional and so kind. Throughout the process, she took the time to get to know my husband and I. On our wedding day she felt like a friend and was a welcome guest. As someone who is not comfortable in front of the camera, Gabbie always made the process feel effortless. I could not recommend Gabbie more. The photos turned out amazing and I am so excited to show them off forever.

What started as a method of documentation of my own life transformed into a love of capturing special moments for others. I specialize in portraits, pairs, weddings, and film. I am based out of Colorado Springs and primarily service Colorado and Chicago markets, though I'm always up for a new adventure! I love to travel for photography and take on new creative challenges.

Awarded Best of Zola
We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer for our wedding. Kirst not only captured our wedding day but also documented three additional days of our big fat Indian wedding. She consistently went above and beyond throughout the entire process. Kirst’s communication was clear and prompt—she made sure to understand every detail of our timeline, the moments that mattered most to us, and who we are as a couple, all to perfectly showcase the love and emotion of each moment. During the events, Kirst expertly helped us set up our desired posed shots. With her artistic eye, she guided us to stunning, natural compositions that highlighted our outfits, the environment, and our emotions. Some of our favorite shots ended up being the candid ones she captured. Looking through the photos, it feels as though Kirst perfectly saw the day through our eyes. Not only is Kirst incredibly talented and professional, but she is also sweet and a true joy to have around. Beyond delivering stunning photos, she became a meaningful part of our wedding celebrations, bringing even more joy to our special days.
