Kaitlin Toto Photography

South Portland, ME
  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,800

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.

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.

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!

  • Photographer

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!!

What initially drew us to his wedding package was the comprehensive nature of his offerings, all for one package price. This included everything from a drone (though we couldn’t use it due to rain… bummer), GoPro video from the day from various angles, fun lighting for the reception, and projection and recording of our vows, among other things. We loved that he offered some complimentary video services especially since we did not have a videographer. From our initial meeting, Michael made us feel comfortable and made the planning process super easy. The app that he uses to capture all of the information and song selections was easy and intuitive to use, allowing us to add details and songs throughout the the planning process. Michael was super flexible with the ceremony arrangements, accommodating our decision to hold the ceremony outside even though it was drizzling. He kept everyone MOVIN’ & GROOVIN’ on the dance floor, and many guests commented that it was the most fun wedding they had ever been to. He even let me (the bride) mix a song as the DJ, and even though I had no idea what I was doing, it made for some fun and memorable photos. We opted to rent his photo booth (which was an additional fee outside of his package… but SO worth it!), and it was a huge hit with our guests. The props he brought were unique and fun, and there was a line at the photo booth for most of the evening because everyone wanted in on the action. Michael really knocked it out of the park for us, and we were thrilled with how everything turned out. We highly recommend him for DJ services!

Maine's only greenhouse event venue exclusively designed for wedding receptions and ceremonies. 2021 marks 72 years of Highland Farm’s history in Scarborough, Maine. From the beginning, the property has been operating as a greenhouse. In fact, in the 1800’s, Highland Farm was the largest supplier of cut flowers in the Northeast. Highland Farm is a family owned and operated business, and the undeniable sense of family and welcome energy is palpable the moment you step on the grounds. The saying is true here: “you come as strangers and leave as family.” The Greenhouse and The Farm has been run by 3rd generation owners, Joe and Christine since 2008, but Joe and Christine’s involvement in the farm runs far deeper than ownership. In 2009, the couple was married in one of the working greenhouses

I am a licensed Cosmetologist in two states and have been a Bridal Specialist for five years now (specializing in Luxury and Destination weddings)! Helping Brides feel like their most confident self on their big day is my Passion!

I felt so lucky to be able to work with Heather Hider for my wedding day. During wedding planning I was incredibly nervous about the make-up, because I have had almost exclusively not great experiences when having my makeup done and do not know how to do anything myself. As soon as we had our trial I was so at ease, and it was such an enormous relief going into the wedding day knowing I was in amazing hands. As a bride you have so many details to worry about and it was seriously invaluable that make-up was not one of them. I so appreciated everything Heather did to make me feel comfortable and confident. I could not even believe my makeup on the day of our wedding, and Heather had somehow made it even better than the trial (which I already loved!!). If you are a bride looking for any type of make-up, but especially brides looking for natural make-up, Heather is a dream!

I had my wedding June 11, 2022 and could not have asked for a more amazing venue. It is DROP DEAD GORGEOUS and naturally beautiful. Absolutely stunning and unique. My guests can't stop talking about how special the wedding venue was and were constantly wowed by the authentic Maine forest surrounding. The new owners, Matt and Abby, were incredibly responsive, helpful, and flexible when we needed help. We had catered food for the bridal suite the morning of but they forgot to include silverware! Matt ran out personally and got us some. They made the wedding venue feel really personal for the day, not just another hotel ballroom. The barns offer unique ways to make your wedding truly yours. We used the smaller barn for the cocktail hour which was fun to have people milling about, then fit 150 people for a seated dinner reception and a big band and dance floor! Tons of space, tons of dancing, and beautiful brand new bathrooms and bar off to the side. It really is a special location to have a wedding and your guests will truly be wowed.

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.

My now husband and I had the pleasure of working with Clay for our engagement photos as well as our wedding day! We can both say he was an absolute dream to work with. I had won a giveaway with Clay for our engagement shoot and after working with him, we knew immediately we wanted to have him capture our wedding day. From day one he was organized and always so responsive to any our of questions. On both occasions he was professional, so easy to work with, and made us feel comfortable! Not only is he talented, but he is a kind, amazing person as well. Us, and all our friends and family, are absolutely obsessed with our wedding photos and are still talking about how great of a photographer he is. We couldn't be happier that we chose Clay for our wedding day. He is incredible, extremely talented, and I would highly recommend him!

Obsessed with the details and in pursuit of achieving an indelible finish, she's worked with brides, elopers, corporate clients, HNIs and well-known brands like Coach, Fendi, NBC Universal, and Glamor Magazine, to name a few. Since 2019, this talented and zen planner has branched out fully into the wedding industry and loves working with couples to create a magical wedding celebrations, and planning unforgettable honeymoons.

Initially I intended to plan all of my wedding on my own - and in many ways I did. We were married at the Customs House in Portland, a venue that is a blankslate venue. As I neared the day however, I began to worry that there were aspects of the planning that I overlooked. I hired The Cosmos at their Month-of package level taking all of that worry out of the process. They took care of all of the things I did miss - called out that there was no plan for trash receptacles, revised the number of glasses rented, added bathroom attendants, adjusted the number of staff etc, but an unexpected element (and maybe the most important) is that they helped me to manage difficult family members. They figured out that this is where a lot of my stress was coming from. I was so grateful to their team for minimizing overall stress. I highly recommend!

We have one goal when it comes to a party, and that's to keep as many people on the dancefloor as possible and to have guests leaving your event exclaiming that it's the most fun they've had in a long time!

We couldn't have asked for a better band for our wedding day. From the very beginning, the team at Plush was exceptional. They started by taking us to breakfast to understand our vision for the day, ensuring every detail was perfect. Andrew, in particular, was incredibly helpful and went above and beyond his typical job description. His attention to detail and organizational skills were outstanding. We faced a challenge in finding a bagpiper for the church, but Andrew took it upon himself to find one at the last minute, seamlessly pulling everything together. At the reception, Plush truly rocked the house. Their energy was infectious, and they ensured everyone had a fantastic time. They collaborated seamlessly with our wedding coordinator, ensuring everything ran smoothly. My wife and I couldn't be happier with our decision to choose Plush. We highly recommend them to anyone in the New England area looking for an incredible band. Plush made our special day unforgettable, and we can't say enough good things about them.

Awarded Best of Zola
To Dan, Crystal, Cam, Josh, and Ned- I couldn't have asked for a more perfect wedding band! You all made our special day unforgettable. From the moment you started playing, everyone was on their feet and dancing the night away. Your music selection was spot on, and you knew exactly how to set the mood for each moment, from the ceremony to reception. But what really touched our hearts is how you all interacted with our guests. You guys weren't just a band; you were a part of our celebration. The infectious energy made everyone feel like they were a part of the party. It was as if you were old friends that had come to celebrate with us! Their voice's were fantastic and the musicians were incredibly talented. They played our favorite songs flawlessly, and even learned "Valerie by Amy Winehouse" just for us. But what truly sets this band apart from a "normal wedding band" is their genuine passion and enthusiasm for what they do. You could see it in their smiles and feel it in their music. It was clear that they cared deeply about making our day special, and they succeeded beyond our wildest dreams. We're so grateful to have had this amazing band be a part of our big day. They brought joy, love, and pure magic to our wedding, and we can't thank them enough. If you're looking for a wedding band that will not only keep the dance floor alive but also add a genuine touch of love and happiness to your special day, look no further. They are simply the best, and we couldn't be happier with our choice! We can't WAIT to go see them in person again soon!!!

We want you to enjoy each moment of your wedding day with your favorite people by your side! You'll trust us taking the lead. We are a Portland, Maine based planning company with 3 different packages.

I cannot recommend Cassie highly enough. She is a great communicator, and so on top of timelines/coordination that I really did not feel like the wedding planning process was stressful (which I feel is a rarity). She also was as able to translate my ascetic into reality so well, even when I had a hard time articulating it myself. For example, I told her “lighting” was important to me and she worked with a vendor to create the most stunning centerpiece, everyone complimented it (picture attached). I also deeply appreciated that she worked to understand our budget, respect it, and work to achieve our goals within it. We had several calls to discuss budget, check progress, and plan accordingly. Lastly, as a day of coordinator, she made the day run seamlessly. I feel like I was able to really enjoy myself the day of, because I trusted Cassie, and she anticipated issues before they even arose. My sister and I both used Cassie to plan our Maine weddings and were so incredibly pleased with how our days turned out. If you’re looking for a wedding planner, I HIGHLY recommend olive and co!

My husband and I had one goal in mind when we were planning our recent wedding: we wanted everyone to have fun! There is not a better place we could have imagined for our wedding than Bayside Bowl!! From our first FaceTime to the sweet note we just got in the mail two weeks after our wedding, every step of the process was smooth and we couldn't have been in better hands than with Micaela and the entire team at Bayside. With a wedding of a little over 100 people, we got pretty much unanimous feedback that our wedding at Bayside was one of the most fun that anyone had ever attended. In truth, this is largely due to the care and ease with which Micaela managed everything! We had an absolutely stress-free wedding and felt so well-taken care of throughout the event and in the run up. You'll enjoy the tasting event where you get to sample offerings from Bayside's awesome menu before your wedding, and the food was also a hit with the guests! We couldn't have wished for a more perfect wedding weekend than the one we had at Bayside.

Cecile as amazing to work with. After talking and seeing multiple photographers portfolios Cecile was an easy choice. Her eye for documenting our big day was beyond the planned staged photos. She captured all the great moments we would have missed if it wasn’t for her. Family gather before, meet ups inbetween and precious moments during. She was hands down the easiest person to talk with about our vision and seamlessly navigated getting ready, ceremony, and after party photos. We have several photos up in our house and they are everything we wished for.

I can’t say enough good things about Taylor! Not only is she my wonderful friend, but I have been lucky enough to be on the receiving end of her talent, as she’s taken beautiful and I mean BEAUTIFUL photos of me throughout my entire pregnancy. As a photographer myself this is no easy task, but Taylor has a gift for setting people at ease, making them feel beautiful and creating truly unique shots. Not only have I been the subject of her work, but I’ve also been able to work with her on weddings and I can truly say there is no one I would rather work with. Taylor is so good at catching those beautiful moments as they unfold (the first kiss, the first look) but also the inbetween moments (aunt Mary hugging your cousin at cocktail hour and your little niece break dancing on the dance floor). Her editing is timeless and who she is as a person just makes you want to go back for every important life event. I highly recommend Taylor for all your life moments!
