We had such a great experience having Kendra as our wedding photographer this August. She is so great at using her surroundings to create fun photo opportunities in the moment. In addition to our awesome portraits, we also snuck away during the reception to take some sunset pictures. The editing/lighting was perfect and were some of my favorite photos we took. For both the wedding and our engagement shoot, the outdoor pictures were fantastic and showed how talented she truly is. We are so thankful to Kendra for capturing such special memories. Choosing Cape Ann Weddings as our photographer was one of the best decisions we made!

Awarded Best of Zola
We got married here on Sunday 9/29 and I really can’t say enough good things about this space. The team was great to work with and all of our guests were so impressed by the space because it’s not like anything else really. I LOVED having the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception all in one room because we wasted almost no part of our day shepherding folks from place to place. The caterer recommended to us, Premier, was also amazing and they were on it and had many great suggestions to make the day as great as possible as they work in the space often. If you want outdoor photos before we found two great little parks to work with and ended up doing our first look and family portraits at “Leather City Commons” which is a three minute drive down the street. Then the two of us walked the ten minute walk back to Olio from there and got some great photos by Peabody City Hall and there are truly a plethora of great brick walls to choose from for a good backdrop! For getting ready we stayed at the Bell Inn and Tavern and their team was also amazing! I got ready in a Junior King Suite my parents were staying in and their team flipped the bridal suite early (as they had a wedding party the night before) so we could do bridal portraits with the moms and my sister. My husband and I stayed there that night and the room is gorgeous. My only regret with that space is we didn’t stay longer because it was so beautiful!!! (And the room service food we ordered from the tavern for lunch was great!) Shout out specifically to Kelsey and Heather for all of their help. Logistically I was a little nervous about it being in Peabody as we live closer to Boston but parking is free on Sundays and folks could Uber easily to the venue. Many out of town folks loved being able to stay near Salem to make it a great weekend trip. Last, I cannot recommend enough having a day of coordinator. I know Sarah who runs Olio has her own planning company and would be amazing to work with. I was lucky enough to have an amazing coworker and friend who helped me out and I literally gave him a binder with everything and I did not stress about anything for the entire day. I did not see my cell phone or get asked a single logistics question all day and it was GLORIOUS. I think that covers everything and will absolutely update if I think of anything else that can help out future brides considering this great space!!!

Awarded Best of Zola
It’s been one month since our wedding and every day I go back to how absolutely beautiful the day was. Liz and her team were the central part of that. With a December winter wedding, many of the traditional floral options were not applicable, but with Liz's guidance, we realized very quickly that just because most flowers may not be in season, doesn't mean that it is still not an absolutely beautiful time of year. Liz and her team effortlessly draped beautiful garland throughout our venue, transformed the central staircase into something out of a storybook, and made a winter arch piece that it still hanging on our front porch as a stunning winter decoration. It was dotted with cinnamon sticks, and ornaments, and dried orange peels in a way that we could never have thought of. It was so creative and magical and made it clear that Liz had seen our vision and expanded on it in such an incredible way. Additionally, when Liz walked in with the bridal bouquets, everyone could not stop admiring and obsessing over them. With the gorgeous variety of blooms and greens, it was truly the most beautiful bouquet I could have imagined. Even more so than the pinterest boards we all obsess over. Lastly, Liz's professionalism was second to none. She made us feel so comfortable and supported throughout the process. She was even able to incorporate pieces of my gown that had been cut off during alterations to add an even more personal, and sparkly(!), touch to the bouquets. I cannot recommend Liz enough. She made my husband and I feel so special and seen during our day, and I hope that you are lucky enough to feel the same way!

Corinne and Molly made our day so seamless to the point where my husband and I could focus on us and our guests. From our first meeting to the day, they worked through hiccups with vendors that we would have missed and gave us amazing recommendations to make our wedding day perfect. We came ready and prepared with all of our vendors, and they stitched up the final communications for the wedding and made it so seamless, even finding another vendor for napkins 2 hours before the day started because ours forgot them! Not only are they amazing coordinators, but they're amazing people. Any communication that we had with Corinne and/or Molly felt so curated to us, and although we knew that they were coordinating other weddings, it felt that they had all their efforts focused on us. We got married 2 weeks ago and cannot stop talking about how amazing our day was because of them! Fun story as well, my bustle kept falling every 10 seconds and right before our grand entrance I decided to just cut the dress, and Corinne came down with scissors ready to be a seamstress! Anything we needed they always said yes to and we could not have been more grateful to them.

Vinwood Caterers is proud to be consistently recognized as the North Shore’s favored catering company. And for good reason. Vinwood’s Signature Style and polished service have been behind all of our sensational events, from simple to lavish, for over 40 years. Our philosophy is simple. Offer fresh, seasonal food at its finest and serve it with style and unparalleled attention. Vinwood custom designs every event and our menus are tailored to your tastes and vision. Our flawless execution, gorgeous presentation and unequaled value will ensure that your day will be spectacular.

Had my wedding on 4/27/24 at Hamilton Hall in Salem and this is the highest praise I could imagine for a caterer: I hardly knew they were there! It seemed like (extremely delicious) food and (also delicious) drinks just magically appeared in front of me. The event manager checked in with me 2 or 3 times to make sure I had everything I could possibly want, and I didn't even have anything to ask her for because it had already been taken care of. Their pricing is also so transparent which was my favorite part of the whole process. No hidden fees, just their rates and the MA meal tax. Sweet and simple. There was one minor blip with communication and we didn't receive the invoice for a few days after we were supposed to and that was stressful, but a couple phone calls sorted it out quickly! I had the time of my life and that is in no small part because Vinwood functions as a well-oiled machine!

Ashley did such an amazing job with my wedding flowers. She was also very responsive, helpful and friendly.

Esther was incredibly professional and easy to work with. She arrived promptly, was well-prepared, and seamlessly blended into the background. Her friendly and approachable demeanor put everyone at ease. Communication with Esther was excellent. The entire process, from the initial consultation to receiving the final photos, was smooth and enjoyable. Our final photos were delivered on time and we love how the photos are organized in our online gallery, allowing us to relive our wedding day from beginning to end over and over again. I highly recommend Esther Mathieu Photography to anyone looking for a talented, professional, and kind wedding photographer. She captured our wedding day perfectly and we couldn’t be more grateful.

Hey there! My name is Marian. Part Norwegian and part American, I've been living and shooting in the greater Boston area for the last decade, capturing special moments for couples, restaurants, small businesses, families, and so much more!

Awarded Best of Zola
We recently had the pleasure of working with Marian for our daughter's post-wedding celebration, and we can’t recommend her highly enough! From the very first meeting, she impressed us with her kindness, genuine enthusiasm, creativity and thoroughness. Her creativity really shone through in the way she captured our moments. Each photo told a story, blending candid shots with stunning posed portraits that truly reflected our personalities. She had a great eye for detail, finding unique angles and backgrounds that added an artistic touch. Organization was another standout quality. Marian contacted us several times before the event to make sure we had what we needed. Further, she had us give her a 'point person' to direct her to the people on our 'photo list' so that she was not interrupting the bride and groom. We appreciated her graceful presence, barely even knowing she was there. Overall, Marian was an absolute joy to work with. She was thoughtful about our budget and, as an added bonus, edited and sent us the photos within 48 hours! If you’re looking for a photographer who combines kindness, creativity, and exceptional organizational skills, look no further! Thank you for capturing our memories so beautifully!

I am so incredibly happy that we had Paige with Prestige Beauty Artistry with us our hair and makeup for our wedding. She was so communicative and helped me make my vision come true! Because we were planning from across the country, I did not have time for a trial run for my hair and makeup. Regardless, Paige was able to do do both perfectly with a few photos as references! Myself, two bridesmaids, mom, and mother in law don't normally wear makeup and were looking for a natural style and it turned our perfectly! My hair and makeup were flawless all night without having to fuss or do any touchups. Additionally, the timeline Paige made for us worked perfectly and our morning went as smoothly as it could go! Paige was a large part of why our day felt so perfect. I would definitely recommend her for your wedding!!!

  • Storytelling style
  • Starts at $4,000
  • Serves Gloucester, MA

Video exists in my life as an extension of everything I love about photography. Something drew me to it, and with the ever expanding video modes of my photo cameras, practice became commonplace. Being able to tell storying audibly as well as visually adds a level of depth that is hard to reach within photography. You can feel the story take you through a place in time. Moment capturing in all its beauty.

Awarded Best of Zola
Alex Cole Weddings is an exceptional photographer that exceeded our expectations in every way. From his fast, punctual, and charismatic communication style, to the breathtaking perfection of his work, he truly captured the beauty and joy of our special day. Not only did Alex get everyone laughing and smiling for the camera, but he also got shots we didn't even think to request, showcasing his creative eye. His calm demeanor helped everyone relax and enjoy the whole experience. We barely even noticed he was there, yet he was fast, efficient, and above all, completely professional. We are thrilled with the final product and would recommend Alex Cole Weddings to any couple looking for a photographer who will make their wedding day feel like a dream come true.
