B. Remembered Photography did a fantastic job capturing the special moments from our wedding day. Their online intake form made it simple to communicate what we envisioned, and the team was great about following up to ensure they understood our preferences. We appreciated their range of editing styles and felt they balanced both classic and trendy beautifully. The photos turned out wonderfully - true to what we discussed while still having their artistic touch. Norm, our photographer, was so sweet, helpful, and unobtrusive on the day! He made us all feel like natural models and kept the energy high during the staged photos! We were thrilled by how quickly we received the final gallery after the event. The B. Remembered team brought our vision to life and provided us memories we'll treasure forever.

Hello! I am Tessa, a wedding and elopement photographer based in New England. When I shoot for you, I am capturing your day, your way, no stress attached. I strive to create a stress free experience, so that you can focus on what truly matters — each other and enjoying every second of your wedding day.

Awarded Best of Zola
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!

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,000

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
Lorna did a wonderful job of capturing our beautiful wedding day! She spent a great deal of time of communicating with us, figuring out us as a couple, what our likes and dislikes were, and suggesting very good locations to take photos. Lorna did a very good job of balancing giving us direction for poses, and respecting boundaries on poses that we didn't want to do. We decided to purchase a curated album, which she did a wonderful job assembling together, highlighting the moments throughout the day that we'll remember forever. I have already recommended her for my friend's wedding, truly, our photography experience was a highlight on our wedding day.

I'm a Boston based weddings & elopement photojournalist serving New England & beyond. My style is authentic, nostalgic, and a calculated blend of soft and romantic + moody and edgy. I think minimalism is lazy and I want you to look at my work and feel something. My goal is to make you feel so present that you forget I have a camera in my hand while I’m photographing you. I believe it’s my job to remind you of how beautiful and fleeting life is. My hope is that after our session is over, my work turns into some of your most cherished memories decorating your home and your hearts.

Caroline captured our small intimate wedding perfectly! Her warm personality and professionalism made us feel so comfortable infront of the camera. The photos turned out beautifully. Highly recommend working with her.

Salty Raven Studio

Salem, MA
  • Photojournalistic style

My work is vibrant, moment-driven, and authentic. I love focusing on your connection as a couple, what makes you and your wedding unique, and your interactions with family and friends as you celebrate together. My approach to wedding photography leans toward a documentary or photojournalistic style with a fine art element (I graduated from Wellesley College with a degree in studio art). While I might suggest an area with great lighting to stand in, I will never ask you to “pretend” to do anything. Ever.

We first met Danielle when she was the photographer at my cousin's wedding. It was such a small event it was impossible to not interact with Danielle and just admire her work. We immediately knew that we wanted to work with her. Fast forward to our own wedding planning, Danielle was so incredible in helping us prepare for the day. During our (very much impromptu) engagement photos, Danielle made it easy for us to just be ourselves...something that is not always easy to do when I prefer being behind the camera. Leading up to the big day, she encouraged us to make decisions that would keep us smiling throughout the day, gave us wonderful advice (which I still think about in my daily life), and really just made the entire experience easy. On the wedding day itself, Danielle became nothing short of a superhero. Somehow, she became the ring leader supreme, keeping us all on track with the agenda and maintaining the most friendly and professional composure. I've never seen anyone more effortlessly corral my large family faster while still laughing and having fun. And the pictures, they're perfect! My husband and I spent our 3-month anniversary looking through the full album, spending hours just reliving the day that memory made into a blur. Even our officiant (who is also a friend) stated that they made her cry all over again and how she could hear the laughter through the pictures. I cannot wait until the next time we have the opportunity to see and work with Danielle again.

Salem, MA
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $5,000

Alyse Grimm is the creator behind Things to do in Salem [dot] com. In addition to working in tourism in Salem, MA she is also a wedding photographer with 5+ years/100+ weddings of experience and her work has been published on major wedding platforms. Her knowledge of the north shore combined with her experience makes her a natural fit for your north shore wedding. Alyse's style is photojournalistic with an eye for small details. She is less fond of posed photos. Alyse is open to travel but is giving priority to weddings on the North Shore of MA and to weddings that are non traditional/showcase the individuality of the couple.

Alyse worked with my fiancé and I for our engagement shoot at Beacon Hill. Since we are from out of town (NY) and the shoot took place at the height of Covid, this required some strategic planning on both ends. Alyse was so kind and flexible to work with. She assured us that even if last minute changes due to Covid had to happen, she would work with us. I was very stressed with the entire situation, but Alyse’s calm, reassuring personality put my mind at ease. She has many great ideas, but also listens to your vision and is open to doing shots that you like. We loved the way she captured who we are as a couple, in a place that is special to us. We received many compliments on our save the date cards which featured the photos from our shoot. If you are looking for a photographer who is easygoing, open minded, and knows the MA area well, then Alyse is your girl!

My wife and I hired Marian to be the photographer at our wedding after being extremely impressed with her work at my sister's wedding a few years ago. I'm glad we did! Marian was super friendly and easy to work with, and her photos were everything we hoped they would be. Marian handled all of the standard wedding photos with no problems, but she also got some really special shots of the little moments that made our wedding memorable. My wedding was a small, intimate group, while my sister's was a larger "classic" wedding in a church, so I can confidently say that I would recommend Marian to anybody regardless of the type or size of your wedding.

Her artistic eye and attention to detail really shown through. Post wedding. She sent me a preview of her edited photos. While they were absolutely stunning, I was hoping for a warmer tone on the photos vs cooler tones. She fixed it right away and the photos came out even better than I had imagined. 10/10 experience, I would highly recommend hiring her!

Hi, I'm Jess! I'm a wedding photographer who loves capturing real love stories. My style is relaxed, joyful, and focused on those unscripted moments that make your day unique. Let's create timeless photos together!

How do I even start? Jessica was a dream photographer to work with! I love all the photos and I’m so happy every time I look at my photos. I fell in love with the crispness and color detail of her style. Now I look at mine and they are so impactful! I also really love the crops in my photos. Some photos are cropped to capture the moment, others are cropped to capture my wedding dress. My veil was cathedral length, so it was very long and I really wanted photos that captured the length and showed it entirely. She did it! I have photos of my veil that I love so much, and closer detail shots that I also love. I couldn’t have asked for better photos. Jessica was so comfortable to work with too. She was sweet, kind, easy going, and patient, all while being proactive and seizing the moment to capture the right shot. She even helped me put up the “just married sign” last minute before heading to the reception and took photos of us getting into the car. These were not even planned but turned out to be one of my favorites. I also had a bridesmaid who wasn’t going to be able to attend the reception, and even though my wedding timeline was super early and super tight, Jessica made it happen and did everything to capture some photos with all the wedding party before my bridesmaid left so that I could have this memory with her. It was very well done and very sweet of her to squeeze it in because this was also a last minute thing. Overall I am so happy that I had Jessica as my photographer. Even my sister who gets married next, wanted to book her but Jessica was already booked. So if you get the chance go and book Jessica for your wedding! Her skill, talent, and dedication goes above and beyond. Now I get to look at photos of my wedding and smile at each one. I’m so happy!

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

My photography career started 7 years ago in the editorial world - shooting for big brands like Sephora, Miller Coors, T-Mobile, and Wanderlust.

Being surrounded by happiness and love on such a meaningful day is SO fulfilling and inspiring to me. I absolutely adore my job, and I’m so freakin’ grateful to have the honor of documenting such a special occasion for you.

Jules is at the #1 top spot of my vendor list. When I'm not available for a wedding or portrait session, I tell everyone to hire HER! Problem is, she's usually pretty booked up because she's THAT popular and good at making her couples feel comfortable and at ease. I have worked dozens of weddings with her and have seen her behind-the-scenes client processes, communication, surprises, the whole Scarlet Roots experience... and she's the real deal inside and out. If you're looking for a bubbly, caring, sweet, hilarious person to guide you through your wedding from the planning process to a year later, you gotta go with Scarlet Roots.

My name is Yi and I am a passionate wedding photographer that serves the greater MA & NH areas. When I'm not sipping on a latte that my lovely wife makes me in the morning, you can usually find me hanging out with my 3 favorite kids in the world. I’m a family man who dedicates majority of my time to three beautiful child and my lovely wife. I’m a basketball player. I don’t function well without a cup of latte. I’m a photographer who eats, sleeps and dreams about creating craft. I’m the guy for those of you who thinks you are awkward in front of camera. I am Yi.

Yi is awesome and even keeled. Both Bobby and I loved working with him. It is easy and not stressful. We had so much fun and we love his style of photos. It feels more story telling to us. Highly recommend him for anyone looking for an allstar photographer

Your go-to girl for all things memories, based in Northshore, Massachusetts. Photography has always been a passion of mine for as long as I can remember. My goal is to make you feel as comfortable as possible in front of the camera. I want you to feel like you just made a new best friend after a session! Don't get me wrong—I love all the posed photos, but I also adore capturing those candid, real moments that showcase the true personality of my clients in a natural and timeless way. So be prepared to let loose and laugh a little (or a lot). Let’s connect! xo, Emily

I can't say enough good things about Emily! From the very start, she totally understood our vision and brought it to life in the most amazing way. The photos are absolutely stunning!!! She made us feel so comfortable and truly captured every special moment. If you're looking for someone who really gets what you want and delivers breathtaking results, Emily is your person!

Weddings are a culmination of love, life, happiness, family history, style, art, and so much more. My love for photography and the importance it plays in remembering cherished moments spans decades. Photographs are one of the only tangible items you receive after your wedding day (aside from the memories) to help you relive this time for the rest of your days. I love how much detail and planning goes into these events and I spare no details! I will hype you up all day long to make sure you are enjoying every aspect of your day— that’s truly what it’s all about! Lucky to be able to play the role of photographer for so many love stories.

Erin did our engagement photos and wedding photos and I could not recommend her more highly! Her work obviously speaks for itself- her photos are stunning. But what you can’t see from her photos is what a great person and business woman she is. Erin was always professional and happy to give me her time when i had questions while wedding planning. Erin was so much fun to be around, we felt like we were friends with her by the end of our wedding. She has a great attitude and is more than just a photographer, but also a bridal attendant and hype woman all in one! She kept us laughing and relaxed and we felt so comfortable with her which is very important on one of the most emotional and stressful days of your life! Even our parents and bridal party commented on how wonderful she was to be around. I had a specific vibe in mind for my getting ready photos and for my reception dress change. Erin understood my vision and absolutely nailed it! We could not be more happy that we hired Erin and would highly recommend her if you are looking for a talented artist who is super down to earth and fun!

More than a decade ago, two sisters - knew there had to be a better way to allow talented photographers and videographers to focus on what they do best -- create gorgeous art -- while providing couples with better support in the planning process. Together, they created an all-inclusive, stress-free environment where couples can choose from talented local photographers and videographers and work with a small team of planning experts equipped and eager to make everything a success. With the pressure gone, you can truly enjoy your big day. Relax and rest assured that all the emotional and moments will be documented with unmatched quality.

From the very first interaction, the team at Once Like a Spark Wedding Co. was incredibly responsive, patient, and detailed in their communication with us. On our wedding day, their incredible attention to detail was evident in the stunning photos they captured. They were constantly checking in with us throughout the reception to make sure we were getting all the shots we wanted. As a couple who isn't always comfortable in front of the camera, Mario made us feel at ease and was able to create the exact type of photos we had envisioned. Our wedding day was truly unforgettable, and we have Once Like a Spark to thank for preserving those memories so beautifully. We would absolutely recommend them to any couple planning their big day!

Just like you, I have felt awkward in front of the camera. I’ve had photos taken of me that I didn’t like. When you go on a session with me, I will not only make you feel comfortable, but I will make sure you look good! I will give you prompts to keep you moving and laughing. I’m sorry but there are some angles, and poses that are not flattering for everyone. Like, please don’t take a photo of me from below! Hello double chin! What I’m saying is, I got you!

Lacie was absolutely phenomenal to work with throughout the entire wedding planning process. From the moment we jumped on a phone call to see if they were a right fit, I knew they would be. Her enthusiasm, understanding, outgoing way that she relates to people is an energy that you want on your big day. Our engagement session was incredible, she moves so quickly but efficiently, as to ensure you get all the shots you want, but is very mindful of time. Our wedding day was COMPLETE because of Lacie. In addition to her positive attitude, she helped smooth the timeline of events during the day when exterior factors were impacting the photography, and problem solved so wonderfully on the spot. She stepped in to help in moments that were above and beyond what we hired her for, and for that I am truly grateful. Her photography style is versatile and beautiful, specifically catered to your preference. I can't imagine a better photographer for our wedding and we are so grateful!

Thomson & Thomson Photography is a must! Emily and Mark were such a pleasure to work with. From the very first conversation, we knew that we were in good hands for our June wedding. We started working with T&T a year out and they guided us each step of the way. We definitely recommend adding an engagement shoot as this was a great way for us to figure out what poses we did or didn't like, and get to know each other before the big day. Our wedding planner also loved working with them! Their professionalism and industry knowledge is a huge benefit. On the day-of they were clear and organized and ensured that we got all of our requested shots. Emily & Mark's attention to detail and style timeless. We are SO beyond happy with the shots we received. They capture the day so perfectly! We did a first look so that we could enjoy the cocktail hour with our guests and this meant we also got some great shots of our guests. Our guests have said that looking at the photos throws them right back into the moment which is exactly what we hoped for. I couldn't recommend Thomson & Thomson enough. From start to finish, they were incredible.
