I wish i could give more than 5 stars. Josh was absolutely amazing to work with and our pictures are 10/10. He made us feel completely comfortable on a very intimate day of our lives and we will forever be thankful for him and his team. He was very professional and always quick with communication. Anytime I had questions or saw something I liked online, i’d send it to him and he would make sure we could recreate something similar on our wedding day. He also got us our previews and full album faster than any wedding photos i’ve ever heard. Truly could not recommend them enough!!!

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
We already watch the highlight reel like a favorite movie and I know we’ll do it for decades. The photos and video together tell a full story of the day: rising nerves, big laughs, little private smiles. They captured the spirituality of the ceremony, the silliness of the reception, and the quiet in-betweens. The team was friendly but professional, and their coordination with the venue was seamless. We ordered prints and the paper quality is superb, like art prints. The album sequencing evokes an emotional arc that brings one right back to the day. They delivered on both craft and care. These are memories we’ll hand down truly grateful.

I had the most incredible experience with Kyra from CityLux Studios. I’m not originally from New England and she helped me narrow down the best areas for pictures in Boston. She was so fun to work with and truly made this experience so wonderful. My fiancé hates getting pictures done and he even said he had such a great time. I am getting married back home in Iowa and was originally only going to use CityLux for engagement photos, however, it was such an incredible experience we are going to use them for our wedding next year. I can’t imagine having anyone else shoot our wedding. I felt so comfortable and she was able to truly capture the love in our relationship in photos. Attached are some of my favorite photos from our shoot. I would recommend CityLux to everyone for any occasions.

Yes, the pictures were beautiful. They perfectly captured everything I asked for, I look at them ALL the time, and that’s important. But what sets her above the rest was how easy and fun she was to work with!! We planned a destination micro wedding in a city we had only been to once, which should have been so stressful but she made sure everything was thought of and planned out for us without even an ounce of worry. I cannot speak highly enough of her and her services, she MADE my wedding what it was. Worth every. Single. Penny.

I am a New England girl through and through - born and raised in Framingham, MA, I now reside with my husband, daughter, cat and dog in Ayer, MA. During a New England Summer, you can catch me at Fenway on a Sunday afternoon or having the best lobster roll (change my mind) at Sesuit Harbor Cafe on Cape Cod. When I’m not taking or editing photos, I am most definitely in the kitchen whipping up a meal from one of Ina Garten’s cookbooks. Love that woman. Or playing with my daughter, Tessa and our pup, Lucy in our backyard. I’m so excited to meet you and to create lasting images that will hang in your home for years to come!

We loved working with Jen for our engagement and wedding photos! Overall, she is just an absolute professional and knows exactly what to do. She did a great job managing our timeline and shot list and provided very clear directions with group photos so everyone knew exactly what to do. The photos themselves came out so beautifully and exactly what we had envisioned - she did an awesome job taking advantage of our venue and the scenery. We also got sneak peek photos back within 48 hours! As a person, Jen is so warm, friendly, confident, and a prompt communicator. She even took the time to help me out with an issue I was having with my dress, even though it shouldn't have been a photographer's job. We can't wait to get all of our photos back. Highly recommend Jen!

We chose to work with Aaron because he brings something different to the table. He doesn’t just capture the usual wedding photos of family members uncomfortably standing arm to arm with painfully forced smiles on. Instead, he carefully finds beautiful geometries in the buildings or light poking through a forgotten window. His photos are thoughtful, well-planned, and artistic. His subject and backgrounds blend together in a perfect unity that captures special moments in ways you didn’t think were possible. Aaron is incredibly easy to work with and will keep you laughing throughout the day. You won’t regret working with him.

I don’t take that role lightly and feel privileged to document those intimate pieces of the story.

Awarded Best of Zola
We were fortunate enough to work with Alyssa for both our small elopement ceremony and our wedding reception party. Two very different visions and she beyond crushed both. Our pictures are more than I could have hoped for. Beyond being thrilled with her vision and talent, she made everyone in our life comfortable and was the best director ever. I am not an expert, but her talent with flash photography and eye for color is amazing. I cannot wait to find excuses to work with Alyssa in the future!

Sasha Pedro Photography was an absolute dream to work with on our wedding day. Her communication style is thorough and thoughtful, taking the time to engage with us beforehand to ensure she fully understood our vision and expectations. From the start, she was warm, professional, and attentive. We felt at ease every step of the way, and she captured our day exactly as we had envisioned. Despite both my husband and I usually disliking having our picture taken, Sasha created a relaxed atmosphere that made us feel completely comfortable. Even our camera-shy family members were put at ease by her friendly, relaxed approach. She organized our photos into “chapters”—from ceremony to family and friends, to details and the reception—so we could relive every moment. I couldn’t be happier with the gorgeous photos she delivered. We ordered a large canvas print from her, which is high-quality and brings us so much joy every time we look at it in our living room. Sasha Pedro Photography is worth every penny, and I couldn’t recommend her more highly.

Whiting Photography

  • Serves Chelsea, MA

I'm not a stand-in-the-corner photographer. I love being welcomed in as part of the family. Most of all, I want to you be comfortable with me at your wedding so you can just enjoy your day.It’s just one less thing to worry about knowing that you have a friend there to capture all of the candid, emotional, hysterical and real moments that will happen throughout your day.

When we got engaged and planned a winter wedding we knew we wanted a photographer who would be able to capture the romance of the season through light and color. The galleries on the Whiting Photography website did just that! Stephen has an incredible way of making photos feel personal regardless of whether you know the couple/family or not. When we got to meet Stephen through Zoom my husband and I both agreed that he would not only do a great job capturing the love and happiness we share, but also be an awesome person to hangout with on the most important day of our lives. We weren’t able to do an engagement session with him, but got to meet in person a year before our wedding and scope out picture locations. Our first impressions from Zoom were absolutely correct. Stephen was professional, talented, and friendly. We knew he would get along great with our family and friends. Throughout our engagement Stephen was communicative and helpful with all things photo and even recommended other vendors. He is someone whose opinion we trust and would go to him for his thoughts and ideas, such as “What is it like when the bride walks down the aisle alone?“ On the day of our wedding Stephen arrived and got right to work! He stayed out of the way of hair and makeup, capturing detail shots while we finished final touches. During such a chaotic morning this was majorly appreciated. I truly believe that the wedding party fed off of his calm and supportive mood making the afternoon a breeze. The additional treats that Whiting Photography offers, such as the heirloom albums and The Zebra Booth are really what set him apart from other photographers. Being able to get the photo booth pictures the same night as our wedding was great. It gave us something to look at the next day and our guests loved it! They also commented on how much they loved Stephen, but duh. Not even two days later Stephen sent us a HUGE sneak peek which had us in tears. The love, light & romance we hired Stephen for was absolutely captured and then some. We cannot wait to get together to create our album, and hopefully schedule family shoots in the future.

My photography career started in 2016 by illegally sneaking into music venues. Which led me to being hired to shoot live music, tour with bands, travel the U.S, and learning how to capture chaos, movement, and emotion in real time. Music was my passion, and motion was my language. So what's my favorite part of your day? The reception, always the reception. The lights go low, the music turns up, and people let go. I’m based in Boston, MA and photograph all weddings and all love. LGBTQ+ friendly, party-forward and here for the moments that matter.

We cannot say enough about how amazing Kelty is. From start to finish, she went above and beyond in every possible way. She captured the spirit, emotion, and energy of our wedding day so perfectly. It honestly felt like reliving the day when we saw the photos. Her eye for lighting is incredible, and every image feels natural, warm, and beautifully composed. Beyond her talent, Kelty’s professionalism truly stood out. She was everywhere she needed to be without ever being intrusive, seamlessly moving around to make sure no moment was missed. She made us feel comfortable, confident, and completely at ease, which shows in every single shot. If you’re looking for a photographer who is wildly talented, attentive, and genuinely invested in telling your story, Kelty is it. We are so grateful for her and would recommend her a thousand times over. My husband and I are so grateful

I'm a people photographer, an individual not a company. This is a second career for me. My photography experience goes back all my adult life—it’s a love, a passion, my craft and art. I’ve been selling photos for six years, working full-time as a professional photographer for four, and photographing weddings for three. I’ve shot more than 65 weddings, from small and intimate ceremonies to large, lively celebrations.

Awarded Best of Zola
Doug is an incredible wedding photographer in the Boston area, and we could not recommend him more highly to capture your special day. A few reasons we were so happy to work with Doug: 1. He is an exceptionally talented photographer. Doug documented all the moments we were hoping for, as well as many beautiful candid shots of us and our guests. Even with tricky weather (rainy day) and last-minute schedule changes (e.g., some family members not coming on time for group photos), he stayed calm and adaptable and delivered a wonderful set of photos that truly captured the emotions of the day. 2. He is skilled at working with people. During our couple and family / friend group portraits he provided just enough guidance to help us feel comfortable without anything feeling staged. This made us feel like we used the time together effectively, while making the photos feel natural and joyful. 3. He is comfortable navigating different cultural and religious contexts. Doug had experience shooting a Catholic wedding, which was tremendously helpful for us, and he was very respectful of our requests (for example, no photography of guests receiving the Eucharist). We also told him about small modifications to the ceremony reflecting South Indian traditions, and he made sure to capture those beautifully. 4. He is a great communicator. Doug was easy to reach via text and email and consistently quick to respond to our questions before and after the wedding. His website clearly explains his photography philosophy, which made us confident from the start that he was the right fit. 5. His pricing is extremely fair. We were planning a low-key wedding on a budget in the Boston area, and Doug’s pricing made it possible for us to capture our day without overspending, while still receiving high-quality, professional photos. We are so grateful we chose Doug and would enthusiastically recommend him to any couple looking for a thoughtful, skilled, and reliable wedding photographer. I have attached a few of our favorite photos from the day in a compressed format (given Zola restrictions).

Steve Nisotel Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (8 reviews)
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves Chelsea, MA

I think there’s a real absence of authenticity in today’s world. Everywhere we look, people are polishing themselves into a perfect image for the internet. But that’s not where the beauty is. The beauty lives in the real moments — the big, loud, messy, emotional, human ones you can’t stage or script. That’s what I chase. Since 2016, I’ve been documenting weddings for couples who want to feel present, relaxed, and fully themselves. I gravitate toward the candid, the unplanned, the way a glance turns into laughter and a quiet moment becomes unforgettable.

Steve has been excellent and so so fun to work with! I was specifically looking for a photographer who could capture the feeling in candidate, and Steve delivered (see wedding and engagement photos below)! Steve is super communicative, friendly, organized, professional, and a genuinely kind person. If you’re looking for a photographer, I strongly recommend reaching out to Steve — you won’t be disappointed!

Working with Max was nothing short of amazing. From the very beginning he had great communication and really listened to us in order to capture our vision. On the wedding day he was focused and determined to get the most amazing photos- and he did just THAT!! The photos came out fabulous, straight out of a magazine!! I still get compliments to this day. He really loves what he does. Thank you so much Max!! - Mr. & Mrs. Martinez

Clay Taylor Photo 
Rating: 5.0 (8 reviews)
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $7,000
  • Serves Chelsea, MA

My name is Clay and I have been a photographer for over 10 years. My passion is documenting couples and their love story. I am from Dallas, Texas and now currently reside in the state of Maine but travel all around the world getting to capture all of the love!

Clay was so wonderful to work with! From start to finish, he was so kind, professional, and always a calming presence. As a Chicago-based couple, we didn't plan on doing engagement photos. But when Clay was in town for another wedding, he made time to squeeze us in for a hometown shoot, which was so so special. (And he was so patient dealing with our crazy poodle!) On the wedding day, we completely trusted him to capture all the magic and he truly was above and beyond our expectations. He kept our timeline running smoothly, got all the shots we asked for and more, and made sure that my husband and I still had plenty of time to enjoy all the celebrations. TBH he made the family and bridal party shots one of the most fun parts of the day, keeping the energy fun and the momentum up. I could gush about him and his talent forever — book this man!!!

I’m Sarah, a Massachusetts wedding photographer who brings a calm, candid, connection-driven approach to every wedding day. As a single mom + lifelong storyteller, I know how important it is to freeze the moments we’ll never get back. I capture weddings with intention of focusing on laughter, emotion, tiny details, and all the real in-between moments that make your day yours. With me, you get warm, natural images, an stress-free experience, fast turnaround, and someone who genuinely cares about your story not just the shot list. I’m here to give you high-end work with honest pricing, because your memories deserve to be preserved beautifully.

Sarah was incredibly responsive and communicative from the beginning. She is very professional and so easy to work with. My husband and I both do not love being the center of attention, and sarah really helped make us feel comfortable. The results of our engagement shoot and wedding day are beyond expectations. She listened to what I was looking for and made sure to take all the photos I was hoping for! We were so thrilled we hired her a few weeks post wedding to do our daughter’s senior photos!
