VMG Weddings

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $1,750
  • Serves South Portland, ME

VMG Weddings is a New England production company who take pride in capturing memories in the form of a video and photography just as they were captured to cherish for a lifetime. We specialize in cinematic storytelling that highlights the love story of the day. The cinematic style paired with how well we work together and the unobstructed way of capturing helps VMG excel at producing quality wedding and event to be cherished for a lifetime.

I cannot say enough good things about the whole team at VMG Productions. Everything from start to finish was professional, kind and exactly what we were hoping for in a videographer. On our wedding day, we barely even noticed the team filming us and it felt extremely authentic. Des and Jon felt like friends attending our wedding (in the best way possible) and we felt so comfortable around them. Our friends and family shared that same review as well and even told us our wedding video was the best they've seen (we tend to agree). Matt was so wonderful to communicate with throughout this entire process and our wedding video is truly straight out of our dreams. Thank you so much to the entire team!!! We are eternally grateful.

South Portland, ME
  • 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.

I knew we needed to book Kaitlin from the second I found her Zola profile, but it was completely solidified by our meet and greet meeting. Kaitlin is exactly as described. So personal, completely herself, open and transparent, I could go on and on. One of the biggest things that sold us with Kaitlin (besides her work) was the fact that she gave us advice on what to look for/questions to ask with other photography vendors while we were on our hunt. We had our engagement photos in October in Boothbay Harbor and we are actually located in Western Mass. I had ideas in my head about what would work and Kaitlin made the drive to check out the locations and ensure they actually would. One of my locations wasn't the best lighting wise and she gave multiple other options to get similar looks. We actually ended up doing some downtown photos which are some of my favorites (which is a little a lie because I am obsessed with all of them). I read in multiple of Kaitlin's reviews that she makes awkward people comfortable behind the camera and I am here to say it is true. I was so stressed going into things, worried my hair looked bad, we wouldn't get *the* shot, we would look weird, etc. Kaitlin immediately asked me what my worries were and I felt so at ease. Working with Kaitlin felt like working with with a lifelong friend who really has it all together and is such a professional. I truly know that our wedding day is going to be that much better knowing she is going to be there documenting it all.

Hi there! I’m Chris, and I’m excited to be part of your wedding journey. My goal is to make your day as stress-free and joyful as possible, so you can focus on celebrating with the people you love. I’ll ensure your timeline stays on track and handle any unexpected moments with ease. Based in Boston, I love traveling for intimate weddings of 100-150 guests at unique venues like barns, ski resorts, and castles. My style focuses on vibrant, cinematic images with true-to-life editing. I’m here to bring your vision to life and create photos that let you relive the magic for years to come!

Awarded Best of Zola
Chris was such a joy to work with! From our very first meeting before even hiring him, he really spent the time to talk through what our vision was and how we wanted our day to be captured. He was a great support every step of the way for planning as well as on the big day! In addition to being a great listener, Chris has great suggestions on how to plan for photos based on his extensive experience (angles, timing, group shots). Our wedding was a large one, so Chris hired a fantastic second lead photographer and several other photographers throughout the day so our event was seamlessly captured! Another important note - all of our family and other vendors (makeup artists, planners, etc) commented on how great it was to work with Chris, and were excited to work with him on future events - I think this is such an important quality for a photographer, and definitely appreciated how professional and friendly Chris was with EVERYONE! He kept the day moving as it should and captured some unbelievable shots that I revisit on probably a daily basis :) I honestly cannot recommend Chris enough - from his genuine care and support for you through the planning and important day, to the absolutely stunning product he delivers. Thank you Chris for everything!!

Revolution Summer Photography 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,375
  • Serves South Portland, ME

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
Corey took incredible photos of our day, and we couldn't be more grateful. He really put us at ease, was personable with us and our guests, and was great at keeping us on schedule once we got into the thick of the celebrations. I would describe Corey's photography style as documentary, which was perfect for us, because we didn't want our photos to look too choreographed. His shots look really organic, and we appreciate that he stayed true to the vibe of our day. We will remember our wedding even more clearly because Corey's shots captured the action, and are not just an album of posed 'moments'. Really the photos speak for themselves, but we can't recommend him enough!

Jenna Cavanaugh Photography

  • Photojournalistic style

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 an amazing photographer. My husband and I starting working with her for our engagement photoshoot, and instantly knew that we needed her with us on our wedding day. She is professional, communicative, easy-going, and so fun. She was able to capture our relationship with such authenticity and I'm blown away each time I revisit our photos; all the feelings of the day come rushing back. Working with Jenna feels like hanging out with one of your best friends. Hire her!

Bethany and Dan Photography

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $5,400
  • Serves South Portland, ME

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!!

Cold River Photography

  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $1,400
  • Serves South Portland, ME

We met seven years ago in high school and have been together for the last three. At Cold River Photography, we believe that every image has a story to tell. We are a passionate team of photographers who are dedicated to capturing and preserving those unique moments that make life so beautiful. From breathtaking landscapes to intimate portraits, we have an eye for detail and a knack for capturing the essence of our subjects. Our mission is to create timeless and evocative photographs that not only showcase the beauty of the world but also evoke emotions and tell the story of each couples wedding day.

From the moment we booked Cold River Photography, they provided quick and clear communication. Justin and Kate were a pleasure to work with. As someone who does not love having their photo taken, they made me feel comfortable in front of the camera. We had our wedding at a small restaurant which was not a typical wedding venue with low ceilings and low lighting, and it ended up raining for our outdoor ceremony. It didn’t matter as the final photos are absolutely beautiful, capturing the natural beauty of our special day in a way that feels authentic and genuine. I would highly recommend Cold River Photography to any couple looking for skilled, easy-to-work-with photographers who will deliver stunning, high-quality images you'll treasure for a lifetime.

I’m Michelle, a Portland, Maine based wedding and couples photographer. I grew up in a small town in Connecticut, spent my college years and 20s in Boston, moved to New York City with my husband and now have found my way back to New England. I worked for eight years in event planning before going full-time with my photography business. I’m grateful for those eight years because they taught me so much that I’ve carried into managing my own small business. Beyond photography, I am an avid reader, love long bike rides, prefer the Monday crosswords, enjoy woodsy day hikes, and am always finding the nearest bookstore when we travel.

Their communication style was fast, clear, and flexible, which put us at ease throughout the entire wedding planning process.

On the day of the wedding, the photographers seamlessly integrated themselves, making us feel special and allowing us to focus on ourselves, knowing that all the important moments were being beautifully captured in the background. They were also extremely professional, working through the family photos in a structured yet clear and communicative way that made the photo session truly enjoyable. We couldn't be happier with the memories Michelle K. Martin Photography has provided us. We highly recommend hiring Michelle!!!

Hi ya’ll! I’m Nat. I’m a southerner who’s recently moved to New England. I am thrilled to be a photographer and part of making memories with you! There is something truly special about being the person who creates lasting stories to share. My love for photography began when my great grandmother gave me her point and shoot camera, and since then, I have been hooked. Some of my favorite things include espresso tonics, thunderstorms, and bookstores. As a photographer, I live for the fleeting moments of light and stories. I do my best to capture those moments with my cameras, and I find great joy in doing so.

Awarded Best of Zola
I first met Natalie on the closing night of an art exhibit she and her work were apart of. She and I ended up grabbing a coffee a few days later and talking for I don't even know how long. It's this ease that has made working with her such a joy. Nat is easy to talk to and be around. She's kind, compassionate, and real. These qualities make it easy to be in front of her camera. Not only does she care about the images she's creating, but she cares deeply about how she makes her clients feel. She's open-minded, welcoming, and inclusive. She is a safe space. Nat's style is her own, developed with a lot of intention and thoughtfulness. If you're looking for a creative who is talented, grounded, and passionate, you've found her!

Based out of Portland, Maine and primarily working with 35mm and 120mm film, Aimee uses analogue cameras and a documentary approach to create images that feel candid and natural, playful and artistic.

Aimee was an absolute delight to work with. We had our wedding in September 2024 and we couldn’t have been more happy with our decision to work with her! She was very timely when it comes to email/ text responses, she has great communication, and she is very flexible. We had a slight relocation for our ceremony the morning of the wedding I texted her hours before and she was there on time ready to work. I couldn’t have been more happy with how the photos turned out and she had them done in the time frame she said she would. When we have another event that we need a photographer you can guarantee I will be reaching back out to Aimee. Would recommend a thousand times over3

Best Wishes is a husband and wife photo and video team, recently re-local to Portland, ME. We specialize in candid imagery in a documentary style with a tender bent- and offer video and still photography. We shoot on film and in digital formats, for a nostalgic feel. We pride ourselves on storytelling, cultivating sincerity and authenticity in our work, and making folks feel comfortable and confident on camera. Our ideal client is someone who values connection, who is looking for something unique, who treasures a tender photo of a loved one laughing, who leans into a little nostalgia, and who needs all the social media crops!

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.

Weddings are such a beautiful event and I get so thrilled to capture those special moments for the couple as well as their guests that will last forever. I enjoy working with people to make the most out of their entire experience.

Jack went above and beyond. He met with us before the wedding to fine tune what we wanted and get to know us. He came to the rehearsal to figure out lighting and meet the “important people” haha. He also checked out our venue for reception before wedding and met our wedding coordinator! We had a cocktail hour while we did pictures so he was able to hire a second shooter as well if you needed such. The electricity went out at the church right before the ceremony and he was a pro- pictures turned out great! Really felt like he cared so much and put so much into our big day and really captured the best moments and had great ideas when doing our couples pictures after ceremony. The wedding is gone before you know it but the pictures last forever! THANK YOU JACK!!

Katie Arnold Photography

  • Serves South Portland, ME

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 :)

I'm a Maine-based photographer who loves love and finds great joy in capturing it! I describe my style as documentary-based, I'm there to capture all the small moments, that shines through when looking back at your big day.

I went into wedding planning knowing that, aside from my venue, my photographer was going to be the most important vendor decision for me. The way I see it, after the day is done and the bouquets have wilted, the only thing I have left to remember the magic of the day is photos. I wanted them to be great and I wanted a photographer who would add to the day instead of just photograph it. Tim did that. I looked through maybe 30 different photographers' galleries and met with maybe 10 before finding Tim and knew from our first conversation that I'd found our photographer. And I am so very pleased that Tim was part of our day. Every step of the way, Tim was wonderful to work with. He answered every question I had and shared ideas leading up to the day. He was super pleasant, knowledgeable, and obviously devoted to his craft. He was communicative and helpful in thinking about parts of the day that I initially hadn't even considered.  On the actual wedding day, Tim was legitimately a huge part of keeping things on track and fun. Multiple people in our wedding party stopped me throughout the day to tell me how awesome and efficient he was and he honestly kept me laughing through most of the early part of the day. I can honestly say I wasn't too stressed that morning and Tim helped create that atmosphere for me and my bridal party. Even my matron of honor, who is also a wedding photographer herself, applauded my decision in working with Tim and spoke about how quick, calm, helpful and thoughtful he was. And my sister thinks he's basically magic because he pulled a makeup light out of nowhere when she wanted to check the makeup she'd done for me and handed another girl tiny scissors when she needed to trim hanger straps off her dress.  The sneak peeks I've gotten from our gallery have me so excited to see everything Tim captured and I know I'm going to be looking back on his photos for years to come. They'll help me relive one of the happiest days of my life and I'm so grateful for that. Were I planning this wedding again, I'd hire Tim again in a heartbeat. For the photos and for the unique energy he brought for the day, he was perfect for us!
