Kaitlin Toto Photography

  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,800
  • Serves Gilford, NH

I’m a storyteller. That’s what I’m here to do - document the story of one of your greatest celebrations. My work is heavily focused on the authentic, unplanned moments. My approach is observational and real, creating images that are genuine representations of you, those you love, and the space and moments you share. I create true-to-life images that will bring you back to some of your sweetest, most treasured moments for years to come. These images aren't just for you, after all - they're for the branches of your family tree that have yet to grow. For the generations to come.

Kaitlin is amazing to work with. As a photographer who has done weddings myself, I had high standards and specific requests that weeded out a lot of people during my search. Kaitlin immediately stood out to me as someone with the ability to capture the essence of a couple. As I browsed her galleries I felt like I knew the couples and their stories by the time I was done. My wife and I are very introverted, shy, and not used to being the center of attention — let alone in front of a camera. After consulting with Kaitlin it was even more clear that she was the perfect photographer for us. Kaitlin listened to our requests, asked us questions to get a better understanding of what sort of coverage we’d like, and checked in multiple times leading up to the wedding day to go over plans. On the day of, Kaitlin was incredible. She set her flash units up perfectly to give a beautiful sense of lighting to our indoor pictures. Kaitlin was quick and professional with our family formals without feeling like she was rushing anyone. We love our newlywed portraits, largely due to how natural it felt to work with her—again this was huge for us as two people who are a bit camera shy. Our reception photos are equally beautiful, she captured meaningful candid moments without feeling like she was standing between us and the moments happening around us. If you’re like my wife and me and aren’t used to being on camera, I would 100% recommend booking a practice session with Kaitlin either for engagement photos or couples’ photos. As a photographer I’m used to being behind the camera and not in front of it. She helped us feel comfortable and it also helped her see how we interact together as a couple. At no point did we feel like Kaitlin was commandeering our schedule to check off boxes on a shot-list. She was seamlessly integrated everything. Genuinely, I cannot recommend Kaitlin enough. Working with her is like having a best friend there take your wedding photos.

I can not recommend Humblebee enough for your big day! Mike was so fantastic and easy to work with. He was super flexible, easy going and listened to all of our crazy ideas we wanted to make sure got into our video. Mike and his partner split up in the morning to make sure both my (now) husband and I both got lots of footage of us getting ready! They captured the tiniest details of our big day that we honestly didn't even see with it being so busy. We got our full video back in less then a month after our wedding! My husband and I both cried watching it! You will not be disappointed and will forever be grateful to have this video to "relive" the big day!

Jen is incredible and worth every penny! My husband and I weren't very sure about how we wanted our wedding florals to look. We also didn't want to spend thousands of dollars on flowers that would only last a day. We stumbled upon wood flowers and discovered Wood and Word Blooms! Working with Jen was wonderful and seamless. She helps you every step of the way to figure out what you would like. The DIY class was so much fun, and we were able to build all of our centerpieces, boutonnières, and bouquets. Jen also built my cascade bouquet and beautiful garland for us! Everything came out so beautifully and was perfect for our day. Thank you Jen!

Swoyer Photography

  • Photographer
  • Serves Gilford, NH

I love what I do. I found my way to professional photography in a roundabout way, having started my working career as a marine scientist and environmental educator in CA and then on Maui. After years immersed in the ocean and hundreds of hours spent underwater, I realized that I was happiest on days when I could adventure freely with a camera in hand. The drive to learn more and become a better photographer lead me back to school on the east coast, where I ended up finding a new dream career and a home and community that I love.

We could not have found a better person to photograph our wedding. Laura was amazing when interacting with family members who were not familiar with the wedding process, and with those who knew a lot about weddings. She blended seamlessly into every interaction and was so friendly and helpful the entire time. We ended up having a change of plans last minute due to the weather, and she managed to get us all together to take different sets of photos with very limited time. She got photos that we didn’t even realize we wanted and was great with communicating during the process. She went above and beyond to make sure we were not stressed and the day proceeded smoothly. Our photos turned out so beautiful and “us” and our day genuinely would not have been the same without her. Thanks Laura!

IF you want a wedding photographer who will instantly become a friend look no further than Meraki Photos Inc. We met Rayleen at the Connecticut Bridal and Wedding Expo and instantly feel in love with the spirit of her work. Rayleen’s eye for detail is amazing. Throw that in with her technical skills, down to earth personality, and professionalism and you have found yourself a true artist. Rayleen will stop at nothing to make sure she captures the most incredible shots, even if that means going outside in freezing cold temperatures or scaling a fence. She takes the time to get to know you as a couple, listen to your vision, and create magic that you didn’t even know you needed. Our fall wedding was the most beautiful day and I am so grateful that we booked with Meraki Photos. The photos from the day are absolutely stunning and capture the real joy and essence of our love. Seriously our friends and family cannot stop raving on how beautifully everything was photographed. We have found a life long photographer in Rayleen. She has been there with us through all our most important moments: engagement photoshoot, wedding day, maternity session, newborn photoshoot and mommy and me photo session.

I attended Paul Mitchell, The School and graduated Phase II in 2008.

My biggest stress during wedding planning was finding a MUA since I normally don't wear makeup. Janna was referred by my planner two acquaintances and I 1000% get why. She is professional, personal, talented, and multifaceted. I received many compliments well into the night on how good my makeup still looked after taking outdoor photos on a hot Aug day and dancing the night away. Janna made me feel like an elevated version of myself while also feeling like I had little to no makeup on. I could not recommend her enough especially to any brides who are more timid when it comes to makeup

I naturally fell in love with seeing the first chapter of my friends and families life begin. I’ve worked with some of the best vendors in the Seacoast, learning and growing as much as possible.

We recently had the pleasure of working with Liv as our day-of coordinator, and we cannot recommend her enough! From the second Liv got started with us she made the entire experience seamless and stress-free. Her attention to detail was impeccable, ensuring that every element of our wedding went off without a hitch. Liv’s organizational skills are second to none; she managed our timeline with precision and handled last-minute changes with such grace. Her calm demeanor and problem-solving abilities were truly invaluable on our big day. Not only was she incredibly professional, but Liv also brought a warm and personable touch to the role, making everyone feel at ease. So many of our guests commented about how wonderful she was. Our wedding party was impressed with her organization. She went above and beyond to make sure every detail was perfect, and her efforts did not go unnoticed. If you’re a DIY Bride or Groom seeking a Day Of Coordinator to execute your vision on your wedding day (while you focus on getting yourself ready), Liv is your girl! She is both highly skilled and genuinely dedicated, Liv is the one you want. I had met with a few other coordinators and had an instant connection with Liv! As my husband has said numerous times, Liv was worth every penny! She made our day unforgettable for all the right reasons. Thank you, Liv, for your outstanding work and for making our wedding day so special!

Here at Tree Films, we make your story a priority. We strive to get to know our couples and how they came to be, down to the silly coincidences and weird first dates. We like to think that our mission goes beyond just documenting your wedding day -- the goal is to create an unforgettable experience! We are invested in making each video as genuine as possible, as if your story was being told by a best friend who witnessed all the important stuff. Tell us who you are as a couple and let us put together a video that tells the story from day one to I do!

Treefilms is a stellar photography and videography company! After our venue, they were the second vendor we booked as photography and videography was very important to us. Ashley was responsive and kind from the beginning! She was open to our ideas in regard to location and then made it look even better in the photo video! We felt so comfortable during that shoot and at our wedding in front of the camera with them. They gave us enough direction that it was easy to know what to do, but did not result in stiff or overly posed pictures. The candid shots that they captured throughout the wedding day are photos we will cherish; they were able to capture all the emotions so perfectly. The team worked seamlessly with all the other vendors, they truly know what they’re doing! (Shoutout to Ashley for doing up the buttons on my dress!) Our wedding video is a work of art, I don’t think it’s comparable to the standard videos produced by other vendors. Treefilms is the vendor we recommend most to friends and family, and we look forward to working with them again in the future!

Hi, I’m Isaac. In my world, light is everything. The cool ambient hues at dawn, hinting at what the day may bring. Golden sun rays catching particles through a tree as friends gathers to celebrate. A Cotton candy sunset peppered by patio string-lights as a DJ plays my favorite song. We all have timeless memories logged in our minds. For me, they are based in a language of light. As a wedding photographer, this deep connection to special lighting helps me produce dynamic visual stories of romance, personality and beauty.

We loved Isaac and his wife, Jing, who photographed our wedding earlier this month. Isaac was super calm and collected and on top of everything. His photography style was perfect for us. He already delivered about half of our retouched photos a week after the wedding which was insane and I love every single one. He was flexible with the 5 flower girls we had in and out of pictures and the multiple areas on our venue property. Overall an amazing experience and I recommend his work to anyone and everyone looking. He was very considerate when I first reached out about his work and wanted to use him and was very mindful of his travel fees to fit in our budget.

I'd say my photography style would be something along the lines of "lifestyle photography". [That means that posing you in silly ways that seem fake / awkward isn't really my jam.] I mean, unless that gets some snuggles & laughs. I'm ALLLL about that. I like to capture REAL life with REAL emotions and REAL smiles. Your session should be relaxed and fun. [All while I get some kick-ass photos!] I will most likely make a giant fool of myself at your session, so you'll feel like a professional. I sing, trip, laugh, make noises, mention inappropriate things, show my nerdiness. AKA YOU'RE GOING TO DO JUST FINE.

They were willing to accommodate with us for our day and even give us suggestions if we had questions. They were so go with the flow which we appreciated SO MUCH, but at the same time they made sure we stuck to our timeline as best we could and truly made sure they got all the shots! Not to mention the pictures they deliver made us absolutely speechless. We will forever cherish these pictures and are so grateful we chose Alba Lumos to capture the most precious moments of our day. Without a doubt 100% recommend them if you’re looking for a photographer. You will not regret it one bit!! Can’t wait to use them more when we start to grow our family!!!

Hiring Randy as our photographer was one of the best choices we made for our wedding. Our wedding was originally scheduled for April 2020, and he graciously stuck with us through several postponements. His photographs are beautiful, and we love his style. He was also a very easygoing, calm presence during a stressful day. Wayne (the second photographer) was fantastic as well. It was great to have a photographer who knew our venue (Saltwater) well.

Nicole is clearly passionate about building her wedding planning business, which if you hire her, you’ll quickly realize. She makes the time for you, is super attentive, has an eye for detail and keeps a level head while navigating the real-time happenings and changes that come with any event. Even though we only hired Nicole as a day-of coordinator, she went above and beyond in helping in so many other ways in the lead up to our wedding day. We were pretty hands on in our planning, but Nicole always made thoughtful suggestions to help us push things along and fill in the gaps we were missing. She guided us on a work-back timeline and stayed in contact with us throughout all of the planning. She built out our day of timeline, which helped us fill in the gaps that we were forgetting/missing. If we could rewind, we would have chosen a full-on coordinator for all the planning and logistics vs just a day-of coordinator after experiencing how helpful Nicole was. It’s worth mentioning that Nicole had minor hand surgery in the months prior to our wedding, and even though she was healed up the day-of, she made sure nothing could possibly go wrong by enlisting her super kind husband to come along for the day to help out with setting up, which was above and beyond what we had signed up for. So you can feel confident that Nicole will deliver for you regardless of the situation! Another way Nicole went above and beyond… we were hoping to have candle holders for our reception tables. We were hesitant to purchase some ourselves due to the price and knowing we’d only use them one day, but Nicole offered up her own candle holders she had on hand, so we could have the vibe we envisioned. It’s that level of kindness and thoughtfulness that really makes a difference in the experience and we cannot thank her enough for everything she did. If you’re looking for a wedding coordinator, look no further than Nicole. Her wedding business is flourishing and we’re so happy to have worked with her!

Patsy Cline’s Walkin’ After Midnight is my favorite song and I am currently on my 8th ​nostalgic binge of Gilmore Girls (which might just be fueling my banter lately).

We had the pleasure of working with Emma for our engagement photos, my bridal portraits, bridal shower and our rehearsal dinner. We couldn't be happier with the results. From the very beginning, Emma was incredibly professional, attentive, and truly passionate about capturing the essence of our love story. For our engagement session, she made us feel completely at ease and guided us with such a gentle touch, making the experience fun and natural. The photos turned out absolutely stunning, capturing the joy, excitement, and deep connection we share. When it came time for my bridal portraits, Emma exceeded all expectations. She understood how important these photos were to me, especially since I was wearing my late grandmother’s ring, which holds immense sentimental value. Emma managed to capture not only the beauty of the dress and the setting but also the emotions and memories tied to this moment. She has an incredible eye for detail and lighting, and the photos are a perfect blend of candid and posed shots that reflect our personalities and relationship beautifully. The final images are more than just pictures; they are timeless keepsakes that we will cherish forever. If you're looking for a photographer who is talented, thoughtful, and genuinely invested in telling your story through photos, look no further than Emma. We can't recommend her enough! Thank you, Emma, for capturing these special moments that we'll treasure for a lifetime!

Awarded Best of Zola
Joey G is like my cool uncle except he’s got sick DJ skills. He did our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. Not only was he professional and organized, but he also brought an incredible energy to our wedding. For the ceremony and cocktail hour, we provided him with a specific music selection, and even though we never rehearsed together, he nailed it perfectly. During the reception, we gave him a playlist, and he struck the perfect balance between sticking to our choices and reading the crowd to keep everyone dancing. One highlight was when Joey G handed the microphone to people in the crowd, turning our reception into an impromptu karaoke party. It was a blast! He was not only fun and engaging but also very attentive to our needs. He asked how to pronounce each name correctly for the toasts, ensuring everything went smoothly. We requested that he not take song requests, and he respected our wishes completely. The sound quality was stellar, and his equipment setup was flawless. Joey G understood our need for clean music as we had many families with young children attending, yet he still kept the atmosphere lively and fun. The dance floor was packed with all 150 guests! Joey G was also a great help with announcements, coordinating toasts, and working with friends and family to announce the newlyweds and photo groups. His flexibility and attention to detail were impressive. Overall, I highly recommend Joey G to any couple looking for an awesome wedding DJ. He provided a questionnaire that made the whole planning process so easy, and his execution was simply fantastic. Joey G truly made our wedding day unforgettable!

Luke and Alexis were everything and more we could’ve wanted for a videographer. We Love their raw natural talent. How elegant and authentic their style of film was is what drew us to them to originally speak with them but their personalities is what made us book them. They are so open, flexible, and willing to adjust to really give you what you want. Not to mention their willingness to pack up all their equipment and hop on a ferry to film on an island they have never filmed before. You would’ve thought they have been filming on Nantucket for years with how well they picked up the lay out of the island and captured all the specials spots to us. Having luke and Alexis on there the day of really helped calm nerves. I am a shy person and was worried about being filmed all day but it felt as if We just had our friends there hanging out. They are absolutely fun, calm and great to be around while simultaneously keeping their professionalism about them. We would highly recommend natural focus films for anyone looking for an amazing video to capture your day. They are a great/fun addition to your wedding day, willing to travel, and their drone footage is non comparable!! You can not go wrong with them, we are so happy we booked them.

Hi, my name is Antonia! I am a bubbly and passionate freelance makeup artist based out of Massachusetts (Don’t worry, I travel all over New England for my services). With over many years of experience for special occasion makeup application, I decided to take it to the next step and specialize in my favorite makeup, bridal glam! My priority is to help people feel confident and beautiful through the power of makeup. When I am not creating looks, I’m either playing with new techniques, exploring the latest trends or spending time with my loved ones.

Being able to have Antonia do my make up was easy and so comfortable. I wasn't prepared with any of my own make up and being a Black Woman I was worried there wouldn't be the right colors. Antonia blended up some foundation and got an exact color match! I also HATE false lashes, BUT she put them on with such ease I couldn't even tell I was wearing them! Professionalism was glamorous just like my make up! Highly recommend and would book again! 100/10
