Revolution Summer Photography

Nostalgia drove me into photography at an early age - and lead me into my studies of photojournalism. We all innately know when we're at a critical juncture in our lives. For me, being able to authentically capture, to preserve those moments in a photograph is such a privilege. I know how much it means to me to be able to look back and say 'this is how things actually happened.' There is beauty in those truths. The kind of folks I work with share that appreciation.

We picked Corey because we wanted someone with experience in taking candid, authentic photos of us and our guests celebrating, and he delivered in spades. From the outset he was accommodating, responsive, and offered guidance to make sure we had all our bases covered beforehand. On the day of, he fell right in with the rest of the guests, cracking jokes and making everyone feel relaxed and comfortable as he captured us getting ready. His skill at posed shots was just as excellent when it came time for the family photos, and he got through them in record time so that we could all head over to cocktail hour and get to the fun part. As for the photos themselves, they were phenomenal! I wasn't sure any photo could capture the beauty and fun that all of us were experiencing, but he proved me wrong. We're so happy with the candid style, showing everyone's genuine smiles, laughs, and tears of joy. Corey also got us the completed online album blazingly fast, in just a couple of weeks; way earlier than expected. He even curated a slideshow of his highlights of the wedding. We, our friends, and our families have all loved poring over the whole album, and will treasure it for many years to come. Thanks again - we hope neither of us ever need to get married again, but if we do, we'll know who to call! Thanks, Loren & Kirsten

Kaitlin Toto Photography

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,800
  • Serves Portland, ME

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
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.

Jenna Cavanaugh Photography

Portland, ME
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $5,000

Natural, documentary, photojournalistic. Real, raw, candid. We’re not going for any stiff prom poses here. I like to capture the day as it is and to document it as it unfolds. I never want to force anything, but I step in and direct where needed. Being in front of the camera isn’t my favorite thing either. I will be here to guide you and prompt you the whole way, I promise.

Jenna was a joy to work with. After booking, she sent us a book with all kinds of helpful wedding information. We based our schedule off of the sample timeline she provided and it worked out really well. On the day of, she traveled out to the farm we had our wedding at. She made us feel really comfortable, and just ourselves! Her documentary style captured some really sweet moments. We also took advantage of her printing and photobook services. We got some great high quality prints and a book we will cherish forever. It was also super easy to transfer all the digital files to my Google account (in addition to receiving the sleekest looking flashdrive I've ever seen). I felt like we got more than just a photographer because she thought of everything. I hope we are able to have Jenna capture some more big life moments for us in the future. I would highly recommend her!

Our first kiss was on the beach, under a star-filled sky, on my favorite island, only home to shells, bioluminescent creatures, and wild horses. Soon after, as two very young humans (21 and 23), we were married. As newlyweds we set off on an adventure, kayaking from Maine to Key West. On that trip, we realized how much we valued spending all our time together and being in charge of our schedule. This business is how we live out that dream.

We could not have imagined better photographers for our wedding day! We met them to get engagement pictures and we had so much fun- we were so worried about being awkward but they made us feel comfortable! And for the wedding day, they got the best shots and were so involved in the wedding without seeming like they were in the way. We got so many compliments on them day of and especially after seeing their work! Highly highly recommend them!!

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.

Hi, my name is Aimee and I love love. I also love film photography and am based out of Portland, Maine. I approach picture making with a playful documentary style. Delighted by a diverse range of subjects, I aim to make images that feel familiar and splendid, candid and intimate. My photography is greatly influenced by art history, a love of cinema, travel, and a belief in kismet (fate is fun).

I cannot praise Aimee enough! She was recommended through a photographer friend and was truly a dream come true. We met beforehand to discuss what I had in mind for the Shower and want we wanted to prioritize capturing. Aimee delivered on all counts. She was warm, engaging, thoughtful, and her pictures were so incredible. She captured our intimate gathering in a way that truly felt very personal. Day of she arrived early, got straight to work and anticipated what photos we would want which allowed us to focus on being present with our guests. She periodically checked in with me to make sure that nothing was missed which made we feel in very good hands. She captured precious, quiet moments that will be the pictures that we cherish far into the future. She was very communicative regarding timelines and delivered our photos on time. Our guests even commented on how sweet Aimee was!

Katie Arnold Photography

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 :)

The Leighton Co

  • Photojournalistic style

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.

Hi! I’m Justin (he/him) and I’m here to affirm your love, make you feel like a fucking rockstar, and dance like a total fool. Oh, and take so many gorgeous photos of y’all. Obvs. My style blends both documentary photojournalism and fine art photography: coaching folks who are shy in front of the camera, then stepping back to capture authentic moments uninterrupted. I’ve been lucky enough to have my work published by A Practical Wedding, The New York Times, GLAMOUR, People Magazine and many other fabulous outlets. I'm a stereotypical Capricorn that loves drag shows, campy horror films, every dog I meet, and Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups.

Justin was phenomenal to work with! We hired him as we noticed how, compared to the other photographers we were considering, his images evoked fun and a world of vivid colors, and above all, everyone in his photos looked HAPPY, which is a harder quality to find in professional wedding photos than you might think. Anyway, Justin did not disappoint! While a consummate professional, he was also incredibly fun to work with and was great at putting us at ease in order to get the best, most natural photos possible. He brilliantly captured the warmth and love of our wedding day. We felt seen and understood throughout the process of working with him, and the resulting images were gorgeous, bursting with light, color, and joy.

What if your photos actually looked and felt like you? Picture yourself 10 years from now on your wedding anniversary looking back at your wedding album with tears welling up in your eyes as you relive your day. Your wedding should not feel like a performance. Let go of boring wedding traditions, think outside of the box and create something unique that has never been done before. Whatever the perfect day looks like for you, why shouldn’t that be your wedding day? I am more than your wedding photographer, I am your guide, biggest fan, and the curator of your love story, I will also be the one tearing up from behind my lens.

We are so lucky to have had Danielle photograph our wedding! She is the BEST, so creative & talented, and makes you feel so comfortable. We have gotten countless compliments saying how professional and amazing she is, and we couldn’t agree more. We cannot wait to see all of our wedding photos come back and relive our special day all over again. We are so grateful for Danielle’s professionalism and artistry. We truly cannot recommend her enough!

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
If you are looking for photographers who not only deliver high quality pictures but also help to make your day fun and enjoyable, April and Jordan are the ones for you! I can not even describe how incredible my experience with Alba Lumos was. April was able to use her own vison while also hearing what we wanted and incorporating that as well. My now husband is SOO uncomfortable being in front of a camera, and she was able to make his feel comfortable and even enjoy having his photos taken! The sneak peak pictures (attached) from the wedding are INCREDIBLE!!!! I will be doing all future photos with Alba Lumos, and highly recommend them!

Hi, I’m Julie! I’ve been photographing weddings for about ten years now (holy cow, do I feel old!), starting with photographing friends' weddings and quickly falling in love with the work. While I adore capturing gorgeous portraits of the bride and groom and the quiet (and sometimes chaotic!), beautiful moments during a wedding/elopement/engagement session, those ridiculous candid moments (like when a stranger offers you a fry on the boardwalk during your bridesmaid photos) truly make your day uniquely yours. I'd absolutely describe my style as a mixture of classic, artistic and photojournalism, but my heart lies in capturing candid moments.

Awarded Best of Zola
We are BEYOND thrilled that we chose Julie to capture our wedding. My wife and I had a destination wedding in Kennebunkport, Maine so choosing vendors was really just based on doing our own research and combing through reviews. From start to finish, everything with Julie was incredible. She really understood what we wanted and that aligned perfectly with her vibrant and candid style. She was so efficient on the day of the wedding as well so we were able to enjoy what we put together. She truly has an amazing eye, book her!

I was born and raised in the smallest little state, Rhode Island! With that comes a huge appreciation for the coast and a realization that magic can be found in even the smallest of details.

My husband and I are not comfortable in front of the camera and she made it so easy to get beautiful photos! I let Bri use her artistic vision to get a lot of our photos, and I am so happy I did.

My husband and I had some trepidation around choosing a photographer for our elopement, mainly because we really wanted any photos taken to reflect the two of us, and our relationship, authentically. We wanted intimate, personal, simple, and classic...and we found all of these things in Tessa. Tessa always put our vision at the forefront of her work, and she worked with us every step of the planning process to make our elopement seamless. She suggested venues, worked with our busy schedules to coordinate planning meetings, and even served as our officiant. Throughout it all, she was the perfect balance of honesty, warmth, and professionalism, and we would work with her again in a heartbeat. Thank you, Tessa, for everything. You are amazing!

I’m a Virginia transplant who makes her home north of Boston shooting micro-weddings and elopements. I’m obsessed with the diversity and energy of the city, but also with how easy it is to escape to nature in New England. As an introvert, I definitely need both! I’m married to a handsome fellow creative (of the wordsmithing and storytelling variety) and we love our homebody life together. I’m a photographer because I think people are fascinating. Because memories are fleeting. Because we all need some beauty around us to help us remember how incredibly blessed we are to be alive.

Lorna was the calm I needed on our wedding day. She was very relaxed, communicative, and professional. Our wedding consisted of 17 people, 7 of which were kids (three under the age of 2). She did an amazing job capturing a mix of formal and candid photos in color and black and white (as requested). Before leaving, she even asked if there was any other last minute shots that I wanted captured before she left. Lastly, I was truly impressed with how quickly Lorna was able to digital files back to us. Thank you, Lorna!!!

I’ve been making pictures since I was 12. My parents gave me an ancient 35mm Konica Autoreflex camera, told me to get after it, and the rest, as they say, is history. My role as a photographer is to capture the rare, vulnerable, epic, extraordinary, and wonderfully ordinary moments of life, as well as the beautiful details in between. I strive to make images that come from the heart and will tell your story for years to come. Also, I might cry at your wedding. It happens.

I cannot say enough amazing things about Jo!!! I wish I could give her more than 5 stars! She is an incredible human that really cares about everyone she works with - which is sooo important. It's just an added bonus that she makes amazing photos as well! From the first inquiry, she responded very quickly and made me feel so at ease with the entire process. We hopped on a zoom and I honestly forgot that we were talking about hiring a photographer for a minute because we just got to chatting and everything felt so natural. She is super organized and incredibly knowledgeable about all things photography. It was also helpful that she lived near our wedding venue - because she knew so much about the area that we weren't super familiar with. By the amount of things I ran by her in terms of hotels, food, location logistics, etc - she could have been our planner! My husband and I did our first ever photo shoot together with Jo for our engagement photos to meet Jo and get comfortable in front of the camera and we were BLOWN away with the entire process and results! She made us feel so comfortable, brought us a little treat, and we had a blast running around a field with her. The photos came out amazingggg and made us so excited for our big day! It rained on our wedding day and Jo was consistently the person I felt like I gravitated towards to calm my nerves. She was able to get creative and find amazing ways to capture our day from start to finish, even if we had to adjust! She kept everything so light and fun, yet stayed organized and on top of every single detail throughout the day. She has an incredible eye for finding the "moments between the moments" that are organic and so natural. You can really feel every emotion that the people in her photos are going through. Overall, I cannot recommend Jo enough!!! She is an unreal photographer, but also wore all the hats (coordinator, driver, field frolicker, weather woman, therapist, White Mountain expert, etc.) during/before our big day. I would HIGHLY recommend!!!

Steve was incredible to work with from start to finish! We had a very low-key and DIY elopement and he got us instantly. His manner in initial calls was warm and eager to learn about what we wanted and who we were as a couple, ongoing planning with him was always super clear, and on the day of he made us feel completely at-ease. His eye is incredible, and he not only managed to get very natural shots while working around every possible jogger on the esplanade but also was an absolute joy to work with.

That’s also how we spent our wedding day, and most other significant, life-altering moments in our relationship. We fundamentally believe that the best day of your life should be spent doing what makes your heart sing. You’re not here because you don’t care about your day, you’re here because you care more.

I’m a New Hampshire wedding photographer, who specializes in candid, natural wedding photography, serving all of New England for over fifteen years. Almost all of my couples come to me saying that they feel weird in front of the camera and worried about how their photos will turn out. But of course they want those gorgeous, Pinterest-worthy shots! My laid-back attitude will help put you at ease, helping your true personalities shine through (with simple and fun guidance for the posed photos). And my quiet and calm nature makes it easy for me to blend into the background, to get tons of candid photos that you will make you laugh and cry.

Brett was one of the first vendors that we had hired for our wedding and my now husband and I HIGHLY recommend that she capture your wedding. She did both our engagement shoot and wedding, which I highly recommend. Doing the engagement shoot with her really helped my husband and I get comfortable in front of the camera and seeing how she worked really calmed our nerves for the wedding – we knew we were in great hands! She is kind, and extremely communicative throughout the entire process – we never had to wait more than a day to hear back from her whether it was a question related to the wedding or asking for copies of our engagement photos. She was also able to provide a lot of information to us regarding what to expect, how to think about what we’d like to see in our photos, planning for the engagement shoot, etc. One of the main reasons we were enamored with Brett is her photography style. Brett’s photos are always so warm, and you can feel the joy radiating off everyone she captures. I felt true happiness going through her gallery and in that moment, we knew she was the photographer for us – we didn’t have to look around for anyone else! I also want to mention that she has an INCREDIBLE turn around time! She would give us an ETA and blow it out of the water – I’d see an email from her and be surprised she already had our photos ready for review. I can honestly say that going with Brett was one of the best decisions we made, I go through our wedding photos fondly and I’m ecstatic to see all the joyful moments she was able to capture. Another thing about Brett is that she has a cool head on her shoulders. On the day of the wedding, we arrived to the venue 30 minutes behind schedule so we were a bit stressed. Brett was extremely calm, but direct when needed to be. Her laid backness and professionalism helped calm me down and before I knew it, I was getting ready and forgot she was there – which honestly helped with the nerves as well. She lets you really live and soak in the moment which, in my opinion, helped create the best photos. Lastly, I feel like what really makes Brett great is how much she cares. As I’ve mentioned before she was very kind and helpful throughout the entire process, and she’s also extremely thoughtful. About a month before the wedding we received a small care package in the mail completely by surprise. It was the sweetest gesture we had received from anyone and really helped us get excited for the wedding – thank you again Brett!!! I feel like I’ve been rambling for a bit, but I just want to shout from the rooftops how much I love Brett and recommend that you have her capture your special day. She is definitely someone I am recommending to anyone I know who gets married and I hope that whoever you are reading this, you’ll trust my review and the plethora of others who with their whole heart trusts Brett and can vouch for what a wonderful job she does.

We met with maybe… 30 photographers… and knew from our first call with Kate that she would be the perfect fit for us! She is so lovely - friendly, calm, funny, and really listens. We did not want our day to be all about the pictures, but of course wanted great photos to have forever. Kate was proactive and a great communicator during the planning process, answered any questions that came up promptly, and helped with our timeline. Kate made us feel so comfortable - which is probably the most important thing to find in a photographer. She was great at reading the room (and dynamics) and could tell when we were “all done” at certain times with photos. We could hardly tell she was around during the wedding which really let us enjoy the day. Her style/edits are spot on and so natural. Not too dark and moody, not too light and bright. We *love* our photos. Perfection! Kate, we will be in touch for any and all future sessions. Thank you for capturing our wedding day so beautifully!

Hi! I'm Chrissy. I've been lucky enough to photograph weddings and meet tons of awesome couples since 2014. I'm based in Boston, MA but I'm always more than happy to travel anywhere your adventure takes you. My work has brought me as far as Tokyo and I'm so ready to explore more new places! In my down time I love to surf, paint, go to concerts, and watch horror movies. I'm full of useless astrology facts and I always have extra snacks with me.

Chrissy is a dream. She was SO cool, so professional, and really put us all at ease. We initially contracted with Chrissy to photograph our wedding, but when we had to postpone it, we asked her to also photograph the small marriage ceremony we ended up having on that day instead. She was fabulous to work with and her photos captured the low-key, intimate feeling of that day. I particularly love the way she captures small, truly candid moments; and her use of shadow and light. We are so excited to work with her again for our big wedding reception this summer! We recommend her to every couple we know!
