PK And The Mighty Seven 

5.0

  • Band or Ensemble
  • Serves Newton, MA

PK and the Mighty Seven has been celebrating with newly married couples since 2016! We were originally formed as a Jamiroquai tribute band, playing mostly music by the famed UK group along with other songs we enjoyed. Since that time, we've expanded our song list and played many weddings, which we love to do!

Awarded Best of Zola
Let me start by saying that we are not the type to write reviews for anybody - good or bad - but for the sake of future individuals/couples looking to book PK and the Mighty Seven we feel obligated to say that if you are looking for a band to entertain whatever party you are hosting you MUST choose PK and the Mighty Seven. To start, Matt was incredibly communicative and responsive during the initial planning stages, promptly responding to e-mails and joining several Zoom calls leading up to our event. We had a vision for our special day and they accommodated each and every one of our requests. On the day of they arrived early and did the necessary prep work to ensure they were fully situated to provide our guests with the night of a lifetime. They took special care to accommodate our unusual first dance request, song recommendations, and the ambiance we sought to instill. We had a wide array of guests and the overwhelmingly consistent feedback we received was that the band was AMAZING. No exaggeration - the majority of our guests said they were the best band they'd ever experienced. If you are getting married or have a special event in their area you will be doing yourselves an immense disservice not to hire them to make your evening as spectacular as you want it to be.

It's been 12 years running this small business as a Boston wedding photographer, a New England wedding photographer, working all around the greater Boston area and traveling to destination weddings as well. It's been a crazy ride so far and I can honestly say I still love what I do! I am so grateful that 250+ wedding couples have trusted me to be a part of their weddings, to document one of the milestone days in their lives and to create beautiful heirloom albums and artwork they can enjoy for a lifetime. Ultimately that's what it's all about, serving my clients and creating an amazing experience.

Awarded Best of Zola
My husband and I hired Randall to serve as our photographer for our wedding last summer. In short, Randall did a wonderful job. From the first call he was very kind and relaxed, which we really appreciated given how stressful the wedding planning process can be at times. We selected his “Notting Hill” package, which we loved because it included not only wedding photography, but also an engagement photoshoot, a guestbook based on the engagement photoshoot, and a wedding photo album (with parent copies). The engagement photoshoot came out beautifully; we tried to time it to coincide with the foliage peaking, and Randall was extremely patient and flexible with us as we tried to plan for and work around the unpredictable Boston fall weather. The engagement photoshoot itself also came out great; even though neither my husband nor I had experience getting our picture taken in this type of setting, Randall made us feel very comfortable and had excellent ideas to take advantage of the scenery. We loved the photos so much we had trouble choosing which to use for our save the date cards. During the weeks leading up to the wedding, Randall was very organized and responsive, and stayed in close touch with us to discuss different logistics and plans related to coordinating with the videographers, timing, portraits with family members, and sunset photos, etc. On the wedding day itself, Randall kept us very calm and relaxed throughout the day, worked seamlessly with the videographers, and also took many amazing photographs that made great use of the colors and light, showed his impressive creative vision, and beautifully captured every part of the day. We were so delighted to see all the photographs a few months after the wedding, and to later work with Randall on a photo album which provides a tangible pictorial summary of our day (in fact, we also had trouble choosing what should go into the album because there were also so many great pictures to choose from). Finally, in addition to our wedding reception last summer, Randall also served as a photographer for our legal city hall wedding last winter, and similarly did an excellent job with that too. In short, we had a terrific experience working with Randall and feel very lucky to have been able to work with him as our wedding photographer.

Hey there! I’m Chris, and I’m stoked to be part of your wedding journey. My goal is to help make your day everything you’ve dreamed of. I'll even bring some dog treats. You can count on me to keep things stress-free—no “photographer attitude” here. If the timeline gets off track, I’ll help get it back on schedule so you can enjoy your meal. Based in Boston, I love traveling for weddings, especially intimate gatherings of 100-150 guests. I’m a huge fan of venues like barns, ski resorts, and castles. Capturing vibrant, cinematic images is my passion, and I focus on true-to-life editing—no overexposed skies or unnatural skin tones!

I cannot express enough how grateful we are to have found Chris to capture our special day. However, it goes beyond just that singular day. We had first met with Chris in person for a meet and greet, which I would have never thought to play such an integral role in the process. He demonstrated so much passion for the trade and was already so invested in making sure he was exactly the photographer we were looking for so we could truly get the most out of our day. He also took the time to visit the venue after our meeting to get an idea of what he'd be working with. Chris went above and beyond, every step of the way. He even made it a point to come during the rehearsal as well to be even further prepared. Everything flowed organically with his direction which took away so much stress from the day. Professionalism aside, Chris is just a good dude all around. We're so happy to come away from this experience with not only an amazing portfolio of memories, but a passionate and charismatic friend.

Hey there! Katie here. I'm a scenic artist for theater by day and a videographer by night(s and weekends)! Keepsakes by Katie originally started as a nameless passion project to film a home-movie-style cross-country road trip with friends back in 2017. I found myself most interested in filming my friends as they were, and that's the same approach I've taken to my wedding films - candid storytelling, capturing real moments of your day in real time.

Katie was a total dream to work with as the videographer for our wedding! Starting from our first conversations, she was a lovely collaborator, asking great questions, getting the sense of what we wanted stylistically for our video, and always approaching with compassion and care. We love the final film SO MUCH, as well as the highlight reel!! We watched the film back on our anniversary and felt transported back to that day—she beautifully captured the ceremony, speeches, details of the day, and moments with guests we’d have otherwise missed. We will cherish Katie’s work forever!! Highly recommend working with Katie to capture the magic of the day!

Awarded Best of Zola
As a wedding planner, I have the opportunity to work with a lot of wedding venues throughout the area and my experience at The Armory was nothing other than perfect. The team was responsive to all vendors, including a demanding (and rude at times) caterer, and offered a lot of flexibility to my clients about how they wanted the room set up, and how they wanted the timeline to flow - it truly felt as though we were being welcomed into their space and guided through the process vs. some other spaces we've worked with that felt restrictive and controlling. Overall, if you're looking for a creative space that you can transform to whatever you want it to be, this is the space for you.

Hey there! This is Amy. I am an engineer by day and photographer by night (and weekends). I am always looking for new opportunities to take more pictures, especially in awesome new locations. Reach out to discuss your next photoshoot, whether that is in Boston or on a far away mountaintop!

Awarded Best of Zola
Amy is a gem to work with! She is flexible with our unusual wedding schedule and was communicative the entire time. One of the things that really made us decide on picking Amy was her way of editing photos. She keeps the photos true to color but more enhanced and higher quality. It still looks very bridal and clean but without the weird tinted filter that many other photographers use. Highly recommend Amy and her team for all types of photography needs!!

From the moment I booked my appointment with Beautiful Faces by Janis, I knew I was in good hands! Janis and her team were incredibly friendly, kind, and knowledgeable throughout the entire process. On the day of my wedding, Janis and her assistant Sue Ellen went above and beyond, we even had a special moment where they helped me get into my dress when we were running behind schedule. And Sue Ellen was a GENIUS with the corset lace and saved the day by lacing me up! Their patience and attention to detail were truly amazing. Janis brought such warmth and laughter to my wedding party, she is such a character that went out of her way to make you feel like family to her.

Hi! I’m Amanda, and I am deeply inspired by the opportunity I have to tell love stories every single day. I specialize in sharing your special moments, capturing your joy, and exploring your unique and beautiful world through my lens. I've been photographing weddings, couples, families, and brands since 2016, and have been creating and telling stories professionally since '09. In a different life I was an event producer and music photographer, having photographed everyone from Nas to Fiona Apple. On a good day you can find me in my home office surrounded by plants and cats, snacking on a burrito while listening to a podcast + editing photos.

I've had the pleasure of working alongside Amanda Macchia many times and each time I am always overly impressed with her level of professionalism, creativity and ability to make ANYONE feel comfortable in front of the camera. I've seen couples come alive through her direction and the end result is always gorgeous captures they'll have forever! On-site she is always very detail oriented and the process before hand is easy, organized and very well communicated. She's THE BEST!

  • Serves Newton, MA

Hi there! I'm Nia, a wedding and elopement photographer based in Boston, MA but obsessed with traveling. I love the days when I stumble upon a new landscape, learn something new from a stranger or aimlessly drive until I end up somewhere decent. This is why I love storytelling. My favorite stories to tell are by far the love shared between two people. Storytelling and making a moment last is what drew me to photography. Documenting your day in an honest, soulful way that shows who you are is what I strive for.

Awarded Best of Zola
We recently had the pleasure of working with Nia for our wedding, and we couldn't be happier with our experience. From the moment we met her, her easy-going nature put us at ease. She made us feel comfortable and genuinely connected with us. We are both somewhat camera shy and she made the entire process from our engagement photos to our wedding SO fun. We wanted our event captured candidly and she truly did that. The turnaround time for our sneak peak photos was impressively fast and they exceeded our expectations. Each photo beautifully captured the emotions of the day, and we loved that they felt authentic and true to us. If you're looking for a photographer who is personable, communicative, and delivers stunning work, we wholeheartedly recommend Nia.
