HI EVERYONE! My mother was the first photographer in the family (30+ years in photography); she was my mentor, and my best friend… She recently passed due to cancer in late 2021. I've learned so much from her its indescribable. I’ve also have had the honor to be mentored at a young age by other acclaimed photographers and directors. Since childhood, I found that with photography, I could get to know people and at the same time capture emotions through images. Being able to translate feeling into an image is and will always be my lifelong goal. Multi published and award-winning photographer.

I feel confident in saying that Alec is the best wedding photographer in New England. I’d go as far to say he’s one of the best in the country! We could not have asked for a better photographer. If you are even thinking of booking Alec, absolutely do it. He made our wedding even more special for us. He makes things fun, energetic and easy. Photos with Alec was one of our favorite memories from our wedding. Do yourself a favor and book him and his team. I have enough good things to share about Alec to write a book. We love him and will always recommend him!

Every moment is unique, every couple is unique. I get to capture my amazing couples and the moments that make them up in really stunning and interesting ways that tell their special story. I love what I do. I have this amazing profession of photographing moments and telling stories through the combined voice of my clients lives and my creative eye. But this is not about me. This is about you. This is about your story, your marriage and your amazing day, why it is unique to your personalities and where you are headed in life.

Wayne at LoveDays Photography is the best, no matter the metric. We used him for our backyard (COVID) wedding, our 1-year anniversary wedding, and our engagement photos in Boston and on the Cape. Wayne’s pictures are gorgeous - utilizing light in extremely unique ways - and extremely creative - utilizing everything marshes, to us lying in the parking lot (pictures turned out so great!), to us symmetrically spread out against a symmetrical building background. His pictures are really breathtaking, and we and our family and friends look back through them very frequently, and will continue to do so for the rest of our lives. If you want wedding pictures that are art, this is the photographer for you. Wayne is also extremely kind - both with his time and with his genuine interest in those he is photographing. He is funny and patient, even when other folks are stressed or late, and this makes him a master of the photography sessions, making calm and fun what can be very stressful. We highly recommend Wayne and look forward to using him for other events for years to come!

Scott and his associate Pat shot photos the day of our wedding and did such a great job of capturing the joy of the day. We did an engagement shoot with Scott prior and it really helped us get comfortable in front of the camera leading up to the wedding, our photos from both sessions came out awesome. Scott was ever present at our reception, seemingly everywhere at once (getting wonderful candids of almost every guest interaction) and also totally unobtrusive and respectful of the time we wanted to spend with our friends and family. I never felt like he was in the way or keeping me from something else I wanted to be doing while snapping pictures. Our photos have a fun creative flare to the poses and composition and will look great in a frame or album.

We can't wait to celebrate with you!

Awarded Best of Zola
As someone who had an unfortunate experience with a wedding planner scamming me (aka I paid her a hefty deposit and she ghosted me), believe me when I say Breanna is the real deal. I signed her for partial planning services and she did not disappoint. For context, I had no idea what I was doing. I had never attended a wedding, and my parents are immigrants who didn’t have the whole American wedding experience, so they had even less of a clue about how it works. I knew I’d miss crucial details and needed someone along the way as I was planning all by myself. Breanna came up with timelines, emailed vendors for me, checked in frequently, and gave me solid guidance whenever I needed advice. Also, I noticed early on she was extremely courteous and respectful to my dad, referring to him as sir and Mr. [last name] and the nun from my church, which says a lot about a person, in my opinion. I think where she really shined was the day of. So, if you’re considering it, at the very least, sign her up to be your day-of coordinator. I’m an extremely organized and responsible person, but on the wedding day, I didn’t want to be running around. She was very professional and responsible throughout the whole day. Breanna is always one step ahead. I arrived at the church, she was already there lining up the wedding party. Bus pulled up at the venue, Breanna was already there clipboard in hand. Reception started, Breanna was already at my side asking me my thoughts on the food. Before I said it, she already did it. For example, I was worried my welcome sign didn’t get set up, so I asked her. She pointed at the sign. She had already set it up. I was worried about vendors knowing about a change of location. Breanna had already updated every single one of them via email days ago. I was worried about whether I signed the right vendors. Breanna vetted every single one. And they all nailed it on the day of. I cried tears of joy over my photographer and florist and how phenomenal they were. Hear me out. I’ll be the first to admit I have trust issues and am Type A, and I am the person who is very much like, “I’d rather do it myself because I know it will get done and get done well. So I’ll just do it.” But girly pop, you can’t do it all. And you shouldn’t have to. Enjoy this moment. Breanna is the planner you can count on. Believe her when she says she’ll do it. Trust she will do well. For the first time, I could close my eyes, take a deep breath, and know I had nothing to worry about.

Max & Daniela are simply amazing! If you’re on the fence about hiring an videographer – do it, and book Max and Daniela! They captured the true essence of our day so perfectly, recording all the amazing moments that we did not want to forget. They were so fun to work with on the day of our wedding and helped in more ways than we even imagined - my wedding dress had many buttons which we were struggling to get buttoned – and Daniela swooped in and buttoned them all in 5 seconds (it was amazing). We keep watching our wedding video over and over, and have received so many compliments from friends and family on the true emotion that Max and Daniela were able to capture. They’re the absolute best, and we could not be more grateful for them!!

Hello! I'm an events and lifestyle photographer based in the Boston area. I received my first camera at the age of 8, and have been captivated by capturing life's special moments ever since. I take pride in tailoring my packages based on couples needs, whether you're planning a micro-ceremony or a massive engagement!

Alex graciously shot our engagement and post-engagement festivities and did a fantastic job capturing the weekend. Alex is incredibly professional - she already scouted the locations and knew where to shoot, while still provided a fun and carefree experience. She brought a creative energy that made the photo session feel relaxed and enjoyable. The final photos were absolutely beautiful - timeless shots that captured all the special moments of our engagement weekend. The quick turnaround was also impressive, as we received the full gallery shortly after the event. AKM Photography came prepared, knew exactly where to shoot for the best lighting and backdrops, and were a pleasure to work with from start to finish. We couldn't be happier with the photos that will help us remember our engagement weekend forever.

With a decade of experience and a balance of creativity and organization, Sara is ready to deliver perfection. With experience and training from Christian Dior Makeup Directors, and top bridal experts, Sara specializes in bridal, and editorial makeup. Her signature style? Romantic, Elevated, Uniquely Elegant and authentically YOU. Sara offers four inclusive bridal packages for parties of all sizes. Plus, she brings comfy seating, pro lighting, and a warm atmosphere wherever she goes. On your big day, Sara’s priority is to know you personally and ensure a stress-free makeup experience. Sara is based in Brighton, MA with a studio in Stoughton.

I would give Sara a million and one stars if I could. She did my makeup (and my bridal party’s) for my July wedding, and every single aspect of her operation was so professional and joy-filled! She was very proactive with her communication and every single step of the process (contract to trial to day-of timeline) was very clearly laid out. Every detail felt so personal and thoughtful, she was great with names, and everything was extremely comfortable right from the jump — like it was an old friend helping you get ready for your wedding, not just a hired vendor. I usually do not wear makeup on a day to day basis, but had a very general idea of the look I wanted and she was able to interpret my ideas into the perfect look! She had suggestions along the way but was able to guide my relative cluelessness with very straightforward and simple questions. Her energy lights up a room and she was such a beautiful addition to have in the room while our bridal party was getting ready. I especially want to point out her commitment to body positivity — despite any blemishes or insecurities you might have, one of her main mantras is that we DON’T have to apologize for anything on our bodies and it’s her job to enhance our natural beauty. Any Boston bride should 100000 percent book Sara for their wedding and I am looking forward to finding an excuse to book her for another event in the future!

We approach our work with empathy, care and attention to detail, ensuring that each client has a personal and enjoyable experience. Sure, looks are important... I dig deeper than just what appears on the outside, I find those raw emotions and capture the connection in real time.

That's the real reason why photos last a lifetime and say a million words. Emotion!

Joe and his team are incredible. All I wanted from the wedding planning experience was to be able to communicate what I wanted and have a planner do all the rest. Joe did this PLUS MORE. I told him what I was looking for and he set up most of the vendors (all phenomenal), made the process seamless and dare I say... fun?? I was not stressed out once during the entire process, Joe told me exactly what I needed to do and gave generous deadlines so that there was no crunch time as the wedding approached. I am indebted to him for making the wedding planning process (and also the day of) a time I can look back on with glee and happiness instead of having it colored by how stressed and anxious I could have been. It rained on our wedding day and Joe scoured all the radars he had to find a time and assure me we could still have the wedding we wanted outside. He was not only right, but was cool as a cucumber the entire time. We discovered about 45 minutes before dinner that the one thing I tried to do on my own (the place cards for tables) was all wrong. Without me knowing, Joe brought HIS OWN PLACE CARDS that were correct and absolutely saved the day. Without his forethought, my husbands grandparents would have ended up at the table in the back corner and all the other tables would have been wrong as well. Joe and his team are more than worth the money for an incredible experience that you enjoy doing, so you can simply sit back and enjoy yourself the way you should on your wedding day.

Born and raised in Maine, I dream of one day retiring there by the sea, like a real life Miss Rumphius. But until then, I live just outside of Boston with my husband and our three cats. I'm married to my high school sweetheart, but we waited more than a decade before saying our own vows. Sometimes (okay, often) I eat cake for breakfast, so you can always count on me to help taste test yours. If I'm not photographing people in love, I'm probably enjoying a glass (bottle) of champagne on the couch or planning my next adventure. I believe everything is better by the ocean and you should never wait to explore the world.

We found Kendra on Instagram (yes, Instagram!) and instantly fell in love with her style. She is so personable and made us feel like ourselves in front of the camera, which included lots of giggles and following us around while we adventured for our engagement shoot. We picked Kendra as our wedding photographer for a lot of reasons, but initially because we loved her natural, bright and romantic aesthetic. As soon as we started working with Kendra, it was like we had been friends for a long time. She made us feel special and knew exactly what to say to capture our emotions and love for one another in the way that we expressed it, which sounds like a no brainer, but it can be challenging to feel "normal" when a new person is in front of you and taking your picture! In addition to being an incredible photographer, we turned to Kendra for her opinion and advice in some of our wedding decisions that we were having trouble making. Kendra gladly and professionally provided us with her input and even sent us some photos of examples of things we were considering that she had previously photographed so we had a visual. On the day of our wedding, from the moment Kendra arrived, she ran the show. I was so excited to see her and felt like she was a wedding guest that had arrived, but even though we developed an excellent rapport, Kendra meant business and was ready to do her job, so she got the ball really rolling. Shortly after her arrival, tension started to grow as we became closer and closer to the time of the ceremony and things didn't go exactly as we had planned them. Kendra had our backs and helped us to solve as many problems as we could, and make the best of the others that we had to move on from. This would be described under going "above and beyond the call of duty"! Kendra was there for us as our incredible photographer, but she wore many hats that contributed to the success of our wedding day. You should select Kendra as your wedding photographer if you want someone who is calm and personable, while delivering natural, bright and romantic photos. We are so grateful to Kendra for our beautiful photos and all of her help in making our day be a success!!

Trevaughn listened and gave us direction. We gave him creative license and it really shined. I am amazed at the pictures he was able to get because you barely knew he and his assistant were there! He showed up on time and was very professional.

Veronica Nunes- Freelance Makeup Artist 

5.0

  • Beauty professional
  • Serves Newport, RI

I've been passionate about beauty ever since I could remember. I grew up with extremely sensitive skin and, thanks to my mother who was religious about her morning and evening skin care routines, understood the importance of quality skin and makeup products. I found that the communications and business skills acquired from my undergraduate studies would carry over when building my own business. From there, I shadowed and assisted numerous makeup artists in upstate New York, NYC and Boston and went out on my own in 2011. In May 2018, I graduated from the 600-hour Advanced Esthetics program from Catherine Hinds Institute of Esthetics.

Veronica was everything I hoped for in a makeup artist and more! As someone who enjoys makeup but doesn’t consider themselves very “girly” I was intimidated by the process of finding a makeup artist for my wedding. I was worried that someone would only want to do glam makeup and that just wasn’t for me. When talking to Veronica at our first consult I instantly felt like she really heard and understood what I was saying about what I wanted and my concerns about my skin (acne prone). At our trial she explained everything, answered my questions, offered advice, and talked through how she would take my bridal dreams and make them a reality. On the day of my wedding she came to me, made me feel pampered and utterly stunning. I got married in June and while it was a gorgeous day, it was hot, I was in the sun for a large chunk of the day, and I am a sweaty gal. My makeup stayed gorgeous from application (finished around noon) all the way through the dance floor that night! I used the oil blot pads she gave me in my touch up kit once before I walked down the aisle at 5pm and otherwise didn’t need any other touch ups. I could not have asked for a better experience with Veronica and I would recommend her to anyone!!

I started photographing weddings in 2017. I originally got my first camera to photograph landscapes- National Parks specifically. But the second the camera was in my hands, I was immediately drawn to photographing connections between people. Since that moment I haven't hesitated while my heart led me in the direction of wedding and elopement photography! I love documenting the in-between, unprompted moments; the subtle way your partner glances over at you with a side smile when you're not paying attention, the groom fiddling with his new ring, and the uncontrollable laughter when you're melting into each other during your couple's photos.

Tammy is my number one, favorite photographer to work with and the only person who can actually help me relax on a wedding day. I can trust her completely. I never need to worry about where she is, if she's getting the shot, or if she's shooting enough variety. She knows exactly what she's doing from extensive experience and she treats weddings with the same gravity as if it were her own day. Some of my favorite images of all time are just that due to Tammy's ability to read a room and complete the story. She continually brings new skills and her own innovation into every event, which I love to keep up with on her social media. Tammy gets so many compliments in part due to her skill and professionalism, but also because of the energy and perfectionism she will bring to your day. I can't say enough great things about having Tammy as a photographer.

When I first started wedding photography, I made a goal of being more than just the photographer on your big day. I made it my goal to be your friend, someone you can crack inside jokes with, and someone who isn't afraid to get down + have fun at the reception (while still doing her job). I made it my goal to capture more than just photos, but an experience. Whether it’s high in the mountains, on a beach near the ocean, in a forest meadow - you deserve to get married however you want to & I want to capture it for you.

Lexi did a wonderful job capturing my husband and I’s wedding day! We couldn’t be more grateful for all the amazing photos she took for us. We will cherish them forever! Lexi is a very skilled photographer who pays close attention to detail. Her calm & caring personality was also very comforting for the both of us. Highly recommend L& L photography!

You’ve seen wedding bands before. But you’ve never seen one like us. Our wedding nights are, in a word, unforgettable. We specialize in epic dance hits, teary-eyed singalongs, and everything in between. Book us for your event and you'll get our award-winning Boston Wedding Band & DJ combo, PLUS our professional sound and stage lighting system at one simple rate, with absolutely NO overtime charges. We travel all over New England and beyond, so when you’re ready for our industry-leading talent and a game-changing event package all at one affordable wedding band price, we’re ready to celebrate with you.

We are still on a high from the most fun night of our lives all thanks to BeachNights band, Chris and DJ Connor!!! If you want to have music at your wedding that everyone will be talking about for years to come, book BeachNights for your reception and the DJ combo for your other music needs (ceremony, cocktail hour, afterparty). Booking BeachNights for all our music needs was the best decision we made for our wedding day. BeachNights far exceeded our expectations. Chris is so professional, organized, and easy to work with. They have so much experience in all types of venues; you will be glad you have a band who knows exactly what they need to do to put on a seamless performance. They keep the music process worry-free so you can focus on other aspects of wedding planning. A piece of unsolicited advice if I may, book BeachNights for everything: ceremony, cocktail hour, reception, afterparty. It was so much easier being able to talk to ONE person and coordinate all music through ONE group rather than having 4 music vendors involved in the planning process. They take time to learn about you as a couple, your music wants and needs, likes and dislikes so that every single song is exactly what you want and how you pictured your music on your wedding day. THANK YOU Chris and team for making our wedding dreams come true!

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!

Tara Tomlinson Photography was a wonderful partner for our clients' wedding day. Their communication was quick, effective, and transparent throughout the planning process. The quality of their work was truly exceptional - the photos were colorful, joyful, and vibrant, perfectly capturing the energy and spirit of our clients' special day. Tara photographed a wedding at Stone Garden, and she did an amazing job of showcasing the bright and lively atmosphere. If you want epic photos that you'll treasure forever, I highly recommend working with Tara and her team. They will listen closely to your vision and deliver results that will exceed your hopes and expectations!

I chose PriceBurr photography from a referral and I wouldn't have changed a thing! Ashley has a natural eye for photography and made the entire process so easy. Ashley's second shooter Chris is also another rare addition with his eye and to top it off.. THEY ALSO OFFER VIDEOGRAPHY with Gabi. This dream team made our wedding day the best ever. There was never any pressure and it was so natural that even the awkward photos that most brides and grooms cringe over, came out beautifully and over the top. Ashley and Chris followed us around and made sure we got pictures with everyone we wanted, and our sneak peeks were AMAZING and I am still crying over them and we haven't even gotten all the photos yet. Gabi made things so fun and made sure to get all the amazing moments and all the dance floor moments to be captured in our video, which if you're seen her work before, I have no doubt it'll be the best video I've ever seen and I am ready to cry my eyes out again. I cannot recommend Ashley, Chris and Gabi enough - they truly became our friends by the end of the wedding and knew exactly what we were looking for. If you're looking for fun, professional, BEAUTIFUL photography and videography, PriceBurr is the place to go. This is the dream team you are looking for- I guarantee it!

I am jumping into my 8th bridal season and am more passionate about it than ever before! Self-proclaimed selfie queen, instagram addict, social media connoisseur, skincare obsessor, pro chit chatter, youtube veteran, og beauty lover, and bridal magician.

I know it sounds crazy, but I may or may not have picked my wedding date based on Nikki and Rachel's schedule. Nikki did my makeup for a friend's wedding 2 years ago, and after feeling the most beautiful I'd ever felt in my life I knew I was going to book her when my time came around. The entire process with Nikki was easy, from my trial to the logistics and all in between. Her work speaks for itself. I can't even count the number of people who came up to me and told me my makeup was insanely gorgeous on my wedding day, and I felt that way too. The one aspect that I feel shouldn't be overlooked is the experience Nikki and my beauty time provided for me on that day. When I say down in the chair, it was the first time I started to get nervous and thought, "Oh my god, this is really happening," but sitting there with Nikki and chitchatting and giggling made my nerves go away. I was so sad when the getting ready part was over because I had so much fun hanging out with them LOL. Thank you, thank you, thank you Nikki for making me feel so insanely beautiful, and for being such a big part of my wedding day. My blast of a morning set the tone for the rest of the day!

Carin saved my sanity during my wedding with 150 guests of all ages at Connecticut College in summer 2023. I was a DIY bride with a ton of vendors to wrangle the weekend of at a relatively hands-off venue that was quite spread out, and Carin was on top of all of it. Even my comical amount of DIY'd florals that had to be placed right before the reception! She handled all the deliveries, set-up, break-down, and details so that I could focus on just celebrating the day! My vendors loved her too and everyone commented on her professionalism and 'can do' manner which allowed her to tackle obstacles with ease. Our venue's elevator was broken day-of without warning, and Carin dealt with it without involving us at all! Her partner, Jacob, was also our DJ and he kept the party jumping, while still catering to our extended family from all over. I cannot recommend Carin's services highly enough and am SO FREAKING GLAD that she was there to make my whole wedding weekend feel like a dream. She also always made me and my spouse feel like the most important people and consistently lowered our stress and anxiety about throwing such a big party. She even handled tipping our vendors with cash night-of which went above and beyond! No task was too small or too big for Carin, and while I hope to never get married again, I'd definitely hire her for any future events!
