From NY to TX, then back again... I started my photography adventure 10 years ago in a small studio in upstate, New York. Since then, I've traveled across the country, taking pictures the entire time. I've captured a lifetime of memories in pictures, and now, I hope I can do the same for you! I specialize in weddings and portraiture, with experience in real estate photography as well! I love helping my customers make memories to cherish for years to come. When I'm not taking pictures, I am working as a nurse and dreaming of the days when I can put my toes in the sand with my nieces in Cape Cod.

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.

Why go with us, when you may have another option or two to look at? Well to keep it simple is because we love what we do, and get to love the people we do it for. We tend to start off as strangers meeting for the first time, then turn out to smile and laugh, maybe tears of joy also throughout the day. The day is not only important to you, but to your family and friends. To the next generation coming after you who will dust off and look at your photos and say “Mommy what was up with your hair,” those are the ones who will relive your wedding with you through your photos the most.

Awarded Best of Zola
We worked with Aram and he was fun and great to work with. He always kept in touch leading up to the wedding and was quick to respond to any emails or texts that we sent. He guided us throughout the entire day, was open to suggestions we had, and kept everything moving smoothly and in a timely matter. He was so fun to work with and the photos came out amazing! I’ve already recommended him to everyone I know!

Hey, I’m Lindsay! I first picked up a DSLR camera in 2009 as a Sophomore in high school, I was so naturally drawn to photography from the very beginning, and that desire to continue something that I was passionate about propelled me into attending and graduating from the New Hampshire Institute of Art in 2015 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree in Photography and Printmaking. Born and raised in New England, I now reside in Goffstown,NH + when I'm not out and about with my camera, I can be found spending time outdoors, reading a good historical fiction book + spending quality time hanging out with my husband, our two daughters, pup and cats!

July Nights Studio was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding! From our first call, their communication style was clear, fun, and reliable. The quality of their work was top-notch - detailed, creative, and delivered in a timely manner. They seamlessly worked with our large bridal party as well as our 3 year old son, and even incorporated the beautiful Christmas decorations around downtown Portland into our photos. We could not be happier with the memories they captured of our special day. Highly recommend her!

Katie was a breeze to work with! I am not big on real flowers and wanted something that would represent my husband and I. Her prices are comparable to real flowers and are even more lovely! I love that her flower designs mimic real flowers and that foliage was an option. She took the care to make sure I had what I wanted and sent me multiple pictures during the process and of the finished result before we picked them up for the wedding. She accepted my feedback and made changes to the bouquets to match my vision. I still have my bouquet and my husbands boutonniere as keepsakes that remind me of our special day. I would use her services again and again!

Do yourself a favor and let Robyn work her hair magic for your wedding! Robyn was amazing during my wife and I's entire wedding. We talked beforehand about what I wanted for the big day. I think she usually does a trial run before weddings, but because I live across the country we had to skip that step. Even without the trial run, though, she pulled off exactly what I had pictured. Robyn managed to craft the elusive not too tight but holds all day hairstyle. I felt so great about my hair that day! On top of being an incredible hair artist, Robyn is truly an amazing human. You're going to want to invite her to your wedding as your best friend by the time your hair is done!

With 15 years and over 200 weddings of experience, I have made it a mission to make it more than just showing up and playing music. It’s about making sure the night flows without awkward pauses and confusion, crowd interaction and not hiding “behind the DJ booth” all night. From pre wedding meetings deciding what were going to do and when, guiding you on the best lay out to fit your crowd size and venue their isn’t much I cant help with.

Robert was one of the BEST choices we made for our 2024 wedding! From our first phone call, we knew he was special and would help make our day amazing. His attention to detail, his go with the flow attitude, and comedic timing as an MC made our guests feel comfortable and kept them on the dance floor. We made several changes in the moment and Robert was able to execute perfectly. I can’t recommend the Toasted brew enough, I can say confidently that if I were to plan our wedding again, Robert would be my first call.

Kayla Rice Photography

Hi! I'm Kayla, owner and lead photographer at Kayla Rice Photography. I’m a Boston based documentary wedding photographer. I am a trained photojournalist who discovered a passion for capturing love in all its forms. I started my business with the goal of creating an experience for those who might be looking for something more authentic and unposed.

Awarded Best of Zola
Kayla was the photographer at our wedding in December of 2018 and we trusted her to be the sole professional source of visual documentation since we opted to forgo a videographer, etc. I was familiar with Kayla's abilities in multiple disciplines as well as her previous work at social events like ours. It was obvious that she possesses a true gift for both standard and unique photographic approaches. Beyond the artistic talent, Kayla has the ideal personality for personal and meaningful lifetime events. She listens and remembers every detail, reads a room and crowd skillfully, and puts herself in almost unnoticeable positions while ensuring that she gets every shot from every angle. For us, with a very small wedding venue that had some unusual layout features, Kayla adapted and used the space to her advantage in a way that demonstrated her substantial ability to be in just the right place at just the right time. She was also a zero-stress and calming presence on what is unavoidably a stressful (and wonderful!) day for a bride and groom - she communicated her few informational needs clearly and worked perfectly with our day-of wedding planner. What sticks out most is her work during the wedding ceremony itself. In a small and very non-traditional space, she found all the right angles with some VERY creative positioning while remaining completely hidden from all in attendance. Her natural and developed skill was obvious throughout the night. Her subsequent work on our beautiful photo album only cemented our complete and total satisfaction with her work on every level. We simply can't imagine a more positive overall experience. She is an artist and a professional in equal measures and would be a massive asset to an event of any size or type.

Now, my cameras and equipment are all the latest digital models, but I still rely on my experience and a well trained eye for capturing the optimal moment.

We recently had the privilege of working with Brightworks Photography for our wedding and I must say, we couldn't be more thrilled with the results. Steve, Rebecca, and Gabe were a dream team who were professional, friendly, and extremely talented from start to finish. Their personalities melded well with ours and made for an enjoyable day as they masterfully captured all the special moments of our wedding without interrupting our experience. Our engagement photo session with them allowed us to get to know them personally and understand their methods which ultimately made our wedding day run much smoother. Their attention to detail resulted in breathtaking photos (even ensuring we had a few particular shots we came up with). Importantly, Steve and Rebecca did their research, taking the time to learn the names and photos of all the important people in our wedding to ensure everyone had an A picture and they conducted a detailed study of the venue to ensure all the best angles of light were used. I would highly recommend Brightworks Photography to anyone searching for a top-notch photography team for their special day. Thank you, Brightworks Photography, for preserving the memories of our unforgettable day that we will cherish forever.

Hello and welcome to my page! After years of interest in photography as a beloved hobby, I decided in 2018 to leave my accounting/auditing career in NYC and pursue my obsession with beautiful imagery full time. In my photography, I strive to capture a clean and natural composition. Candid and in-the-moment shots are my favorite photos.

CityLux is a boutique studio based in the Boston area. We started out as photographers and have recently expanded our services, offering video, and now wedding planning services. We are a small dedicated team of professionals. Our couples are down to earth types, who appreciate attention to detail, and laid back luxury.

I thought I (ALL CAPS THERE!) was a perfectionist until I met Allie LeBon. If you're thinking "is this worth it?" or "do I really need a planner?" or even, "I can do this all myself." ...you maaaybe can, but if you want your day to be utterly spectacular - hire Allie. I can't stress enough the importance of hiring someone like her. Our entire day was magic because of her and her CityLux team. We started out our journey with a clear goal, but it all felt a bit daunting. Allie was with us from start to finish (top to bottom planning and day-of!) and made every step along the way incredible. She was prompt, professional, honest, and kind. It's hard to find vendors that are as "on their game." There were times that we were completely at a loss for what was next and she always communicated with clarity so we felt comfortable and prepared to make decisions. There were sooooo many details only she could have thought of. Just when you think you have it figured out, there are 3 more things Allie was thinking of. I constantly said, "oh wow.. I didnt even think of that." Like coordinating bus routes and timing that out... no thank you! We felt like it was all under control because of her meticulous documentation, flawless communication with our other vendors, and emergency plans she put in motion behind the scenes. MOST importantly, she makes sure you can focus on your day and nothing else. From the napkins, to the placecards, to our grass wall, to our place settings, to the drink signs, and everything else in between, it was all so complete and I wouldn't have changed a thing. Not to mention, she professionally vetoed some of our ideas, and finding someone who knows what's realistic and what's not is hard to find. I've recommended her to ALL my friends and every time I get rave reviews. Don't go it alone throughout this process. Go with Allie and go with CityLux! PS: The picture you see with our reaction was exactly the moment we saw our vision come to life at the reception. Speechless.

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.

Kendra was such a comfort to my husband and I during the entirety of our wedding planning process, thru our wedding and beyond. She was always available for communication and never once made us feel like we were asking too much or being bothersome. Kendras energy is amazing, especially for two people that do not consider themselves photogenic! She brought out the best in us and it reflects in our engagement and wedding day photos. I couldn’t recommend her enough!

My husband and I chose a venue where every aspect of our wedding needed to be coordinated with third-party vendors (string quartet, DJ, catering (incl. table, chairs, linens), set up, breakdown, etc). When we realized how much we underestimated the time and coordination needed to plan such an important event, we knew we needed help. Enter: MB Events. From the start, Marissa kept my husband and I organized throughout the entire wedding planning process, ensuring our vision for the day came to fruition, and truly made our wedding day better than we had ever expected. We planned an outdoor wedding, and inevitably it was supposed to pour (thunder, lightning, flood, tornado warnings), and Marissa and her team worked from sunup to sundown to ensure that our day was exactly as we had imagined, rain or shine. Marissa was an advocate for my husband and I when difficult day-of -decisions needed to be made in relation to the rain, which allowed us to just “focus and take in the moment” which we are extremely grateful for. With some last minute timeline adjustments by Marissa, we were able to have the outdoor ceremony of our dreams. This would not have happened without the expertise and dedication of Marissa and her team. Multiple times throughout the wedding planning process I told my husband that Marissa seems to be the only vendor we chose that is actually “on our side.” We struggled with the organization and responses of other vendors, especially as the wedding season was in full swing, but Marissa never missed a moment. She was professional, quick to respond, and extremely reliable. I know that there are many options when choosing a wedding planner, but I can honestly say, I believe Marissa and her team to be the best there is. Personally, the only downside I’ve found about working with Marissa has been the end of it all… because it feels kind of like I don’t have my best friend around anymore!

Vibrant puts your day first and foremost. Our premier performances and dedication to personalized service has led to our recent induction into The_Knot Hall of Fame 2020. We came together to provide couples with a personalized entertainment experience. Everything from string quartets or harpists for your ceremony, jazz trios for your cocktail hour, and 6 piece bands with horn sections for your reception, we offer it all in one convenient package. I will be working with you directly every step of the way from consultation and planning, to the day of the wedding.

Vibrant was fantastic for our March wedding. They brought amazing energy and class to our event, and guests are still raving about them a month later. The dance floor was packed for the entire evening. Lauren and Miguel are a dynamite lead-singing duo, and the instrumentalists are each incredibly talented. Justin was very responsive and easy to connect with leading up to the day, and accommodated all of our requests and needs with ease. They were also very helpful with recommendations based on extensive experience, and even allowed the bride's sister to play their keyboard for the ceremony, which was an over-and-above request they did not have to agree to. Overall can't recommend this group enough!

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!

Beach Nights - Live Band & DJ Combo

  • Serves Portsmouth, NH

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!

Our team prides ourselves on being professional third-wheels on your wedding day. We are perfect for those who thrive on love and connection, and are looking for bold and purposeful imagery. We have 2 wedding associates, 2 family photographers, and a husband and wife videography team

Maddy/Maddness Photography was AMAZING from start to finish. I have been working with her for about 9 months for my engagement and wedding photos. She was quick to respond with any questions via email or text. Her website was super easy to use and was incredibly helpful in keeping all the "paperwork" together in one place. She even let me change in her car. She is super down to earth. Her and her team are incredibly talented at what they do. During both shoots, she made Andy and I feel completely comfortable, which I think helped create more natural looking photos. Andy doesn't think he photographs well, but she somehow pulled off fantastic shots. She has an eye for special moments and interprets them differently for each client, which I love. She is a true artist, in that it's not "cookie cutter" in any way, but still felt polished and extremely professional. Our wedding went on without a hitch, she was polite, engaging and on time. I would recommend Maddy to ANYONE looking to document their special event, I know I will be back for sure when we have kids for family portraits <3.

Jamie was our videographer on our wedding day and we couldn't have been happier with her! Right from the start, working with Jamie was a breeze. She was quick to respond to my emails and easy to coordinate with prior to our wedding. Jamie and her team were such a pleasure to work with on our wedding day! They were extremely friendly and made us feel super comfortable. They thought of all the logistics we never would've thought of (like the sound quality since we got married in front of a fountain) and figured out how to best shoot video. Our trailer video of our wedding was perfect. My husband and I cried watching it! They truly captured all the special moments we shared and we couldn't thank them more!

I was blown away by the talent of the musicians, they really take their craft seriously. I requested a Roaring Twenties theme from Louis Pettinelli and they went above and beyond to make it happen. The singer Karlea was phenomenal and did an amazing job of keeping our guests engaged and entertained. The musicians were all courteous, professional, and exceptionally talented. They dressed appropriately for our wedding theme and many of the guests at the Hawthorne Hotel wanted to take pictures with Karlea in her Twenties attire. In addition to being a wonderful experience, they were also a great value for the price. These are top quality musicians and we paid a reasonable price for the band. I highly recommend this group for your wedding.

My name is Angie and I want to capture your story. My photography is honest and reflects your awesome, quirky and unique personalities. Prepare to experience an authentic and artistic reflection of your wedding, from its quiet, tender moments to its loud joyous ones. My images show the genuine connections between you and your closest friends and family.

Awarded Best of Zola
As much as Angie's photos speak for themselves, I've got a word or two to say myself: This photographer is THE ONE to capture your big day! We were initially drawn to the natural yet electric feel of Angie's work. The joy of her subjects feels very real -- because it is. Angie is there to capture real joy and real beauty and real love, not to force it through posing or a trick of the light. Her passion is for people and for love itself, and that's what makes her work second to none! Like I wrote above: these stunning shots very much speak for themselves (and they say "joy," "love," "BLISS!" and everything else we experienced on our wedding day) But Angie's talent isn't the only reason to hire her. She is a kind professional with a calming presence and a "sixth sense" for when & where to capture the perfect shot. She's got an artist's eye, and sought out unique locations & lighting to make the most out of our photoshoot around the MASS MoCA campus. (Check out that silhouette of our profiles! A spontaneous idea of hers ;) ) While we were still in the planning stage, Angie took the time to regularly check in with us and prepare. Whenever we were on the phone with her, it felt like she was in the room with us! Her friendliness and passion came through in our conversations, and we felt relieved knowing that we wouldn't have to worry about how we might "get along" with our photographer on our wedding day. Once Angie arrived on the day-of, everything felt natural. Throughout the day & evening, we never felt "overwhelmed" by her presence, yet she was always there to snap the most animated moments. And not just our most animated moments -- the photos of our guests are so charged with emotion, we can hear & feel them! Our favorite part of going through our wedding album has been seeing the joy on our guests' faces, all captured by Angie. Whenever we want to relive that night -- or live a new part of it that we didn't get to see -- our experience and all of our guests' unique experiences are just a few clicks away. I knew her photos would be beautiful, but I didn't anticipate this....totally immersive quality. Each shot is like a portal straight back to the moment it captures. These photos are ALIVE, and we are so grateful! Thank you, Angie, for all of the perfect lil picture-portals 333

Hi! Jesse & Mercedes here. We're Maine based wedding videographers and our approach is simple: Create what feels good. When we’re in the editing room, what gives us watery eyes and a lump in our throat are the moments with friends and family in attendance. It’s likely the only day where all your loved ones will be in the same place, at the same time, celebrating you. If you think that unparalleled significance is powerful now, picture 5, 10, or 25 years down the road.
