I mix editorial and documentary style photography for a wedding gallery that feels nostalgic and luxurious.

We are a husband and wife team that offers wedding photography and super 8 films. We also have a team of associate photographers for those on a budget.

We couldn't be happier with choosing Brittany as our wedding photographer. She photographed our NYE wedding where she perfectly captured the vintage & timeless vibes we had envisioned. My husband and I don't have experience in being in front of the camera, but Brittany made us feel so comfortable. I am always shocked at how well she captures us on camera. We have gotten so many compliments on our photos from friends and family. If you're looking for a photographer who just gets it, hire Brittany. 3

My style is best described as vintage with influences from old hollywood. I have worked every type of wedding and I love to travel!

Awarded Best of Zola
We feel so lucky to have found Andrew as our wedding photographer. He has an incredible eye for the editorial style and makes his photos into works of art with golden light and chiaroscuro. So many photographers just rely on their high-res equipment but don't offer anything more--I don't want a macro shot of every pore or line on my face like an owl in a tree at 100 yards, I want to have a sense of magic and beauty in every photo. Andrew actually does that. I almost cried when I saw our first look photos because I don't feel very confident being photographed and I finally had dozens of photos of myself and my husband that I want to share with friends immediately and cherish forever. He delivered the first look so fast, even though I know he was busy working another wedding; I thought for sure we would have to wait longer. The wedding package we chose included very nice touches like polaroids so we had something in hand at the end of the wedding day itself, too. It was very thoughtful and left us feeling good about the whole experience right away. He was very personal and nice to work with, but not intrusive, and went with the little schedule changes we had, and was open to suggestions while we took post-ceremony photos around the city. I couldn't be happier with our experience with him and would recommend him highly to anyone looking for a real artist for their wedding photography.

She took the time to get to know us as a couple, and it really showed in the photos—each one perfectly captured the essence of our relationship. On the wedding day, Aireal was such a calming presence. She was organized, professional, and had a way of making everyone feel at ease, even in the midst of all the chaos. She caught every detail and emotion without us ever feeling like we were constantly posing for pictures. Our photos are beyond beautiful.

Hey there!! We're Sarah & Ben a mother-son photography team traveling throughout New England and the U.S., capturing stunning weddings, elopements, & engagements along the way. We’re lucky enough to witness countless beautiful moments that leave us in awe. From the quiet glances to the laughter-filled celebrations, we aim to capture it all with a sense of ease that reflects the genuine connections between you and your loved ones.

Awarded Best of Zola
Where to start? During the first phone call with Sarah, even after we told her we were interviewing multiple photographers, she offered us pointers and advice to consider when choosing our photographer, not her as the photographer, but OUR photographer. From the beginning she wanted to ensure that we had the best fit for us. She went above and beyond by coming to our venues prior to the wedding to "get the feel" of what she would need to capture the perfect moments. On the day of the wedding (when it was pure chaos) she adapted quickly, efficiently and went with the flow. Sarah and Ben are incredibly kind, thoughtful, and have a wonderful sense of humor. All of the photos they took are amazing and very unique. The emotion captured by each photo brought us to laughter or tears, but both in a good way! We could not have picked a better photographer, and we cannot thank them enough for all they did!

Wedding photographs should honor your relationship and highlight your unique connection. More than simple validation, they are a declaration that love knows no boundaries. So, it’s important to find a photographer who understands the full scope of your story, someone who sees both the broader significance and its personal meaning. And someone who captures it all through unforgettable photographs. When it comes to photography, it takes a non-traditional perspective to look beyond the obvious and capture the hidden bits of who you two really are.

Raven and her team are *phenomenal* and one of the main vendors we have to thank for making our wedding day as incredible as it was. From getting to meet Raven at the engagement session we did, she instantly took care to listen to what we were comfortable with and helped us have fun being in front of the camera (which for us is not in either of our comfort zones). On our wedding day itself, Raven and her team were such pros at wrangling family/wedding party members and also getting the shots that were most important to us. :) They are such calming presences and made us and all of our people feel so at ease, and we know that the photos are gonna be spectacular!! As people (and queer folks) who aren’t immediately comfortable with posing/having our picture taken, getting to work with Raven was such a gift and we are so thankful for her and everyone we got to work with from her team!!

I have been coordinating events for 5+ years and fell in love with the methodical creation that comes from planning each different event. Each event is different and has it's own challenges which makes the entire process that much more exciting.

Luxury Affairs was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding. From our very first interaction, the team's communication was thorough, thoughtful, and all-encompassing, ensuring we felt supported and cared for every step of the way. Their attention to detail and ability to expertly coordinate all aspects of our special day was truly magical - we felt completely stress-free and able to simply enjoy the experience. For example, lead planner Audrei made sure we were on time for every event, and her team went above and beyond to accommodate my elderly, handicapped mother, making sure she could fully participate in all the festivities despite the challenges of our venue. We are forever grateful to Luxury Affairs for making our wedding day so seamless and special.

I’m Alex, a wedding photographer with 10 years of experience. My approach blends classic elegance with a documentary style, capturing both posed and candid moments that reflect the authentic atmosphere of your wedding day. Whether it’s an intimate ceremony or a larger event, I’ve had the privilege of telling love stories through my lens. Clients appreciate my attention to detail and seamless process. From guiding you through natural poses to capturing spontaneous emotions, I ensure that every important moment is beautifully documented, creating a wedding album that you’ll treasure for years to come.

Alex is a true professional and an absolutely wonderful person. From our first meeting, he carefully listened to our wishes and immediately understood the style of photos we wanted. On our wedding day, Alex was unobtrusive yet managed to capture the most important and touching moments, perfectly reflecting the atmosphere of our special day. The photos turned out incredibly lively, natural, and absolutely beautiful! We even received them earlier than expected. Alex helped preserve our memories for years to come, and we will definitely recommend him to all our friends and family. Thank you so much for your hard work, Alex!
