The day after your wedding, will you remember the groom's reaction when he sees his bride for the first time, the emotion on dad's face when he gives his daughter away, the tears that come when vows are said, the laughter during the best man speech, or grandma getting down on the dance floor? You have spent so much time planning for your wedding day and it goes by in a blink of an eye. That's why it is so important to professionally capture the day via photography and content.

“NH Images Photography Content was an excellent choice for our wedding photography. From the start, their communication was knowledgeable, efficient, and very understanding of our needs. The quality of their work was truly professional and excellent, capturing all the special moments in an inclusive way. Our photographer was punctual, discreet and very friendly, putting us at ease throughout the day. Our desires were slightly different from standard and our photographer adapted seamlessly, ensuring our wedding day was perfectly documented. We are thrilled with the final photos and highly recommend NH Images Photography Content.”

My biggest passion in life is travel and photography. My goal is to share the latter with you! Whether you are just newly engaged or planning for your special day I would love to create moments and memories with you! I love photographing in places around the city. If I'm not photographing at the Boston Public Garden then I am roaming the streets of back bay and Copley Square or taking in the Boston Harbor views.

“Salma is simply fantastic! Not only did she travel from Boston to Denver for our wedding, she and our second shooter Sh’Tara went above and beyond to help make our day as special as possible! They were so sweet and fun to work with, they captured every moment beautifully and authentically. She even sent us a couple sneak peaks the day after the wedding! We loved working with her and will be recommending her work to everyone we know!”

Live your wedding, love the story! Do you desire to be present on your wedding day? No need to perform, just experience your celebration with your friends and family. Tired of every wedding looking the same? Based on the Northshore of Boston We produce authentic images that capture YOUR celebration in a candid and documentary way.

“I would (and will) tell anyone looking for a wedding photographer that they’d be doing their special day a massive disservice by not hiring Silver Salt Photography. Ben was absolutely incredible to work with, from the planning meetings, to the big day itself, to providing a preview of our photos just a few weeks afterward, we were blown away every step of the way. We’re simply amazed by his ability to capture the most meaningful moments of the day, somehow being seemingly invisible yet everywhere at once. Ben has an incredible eye for detail while still capturing the full scale and emotion of the event. 1000/10. If you’re looking for an event photographer, Ben is your guy!”

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!”

Visit my Instagram for contact info and more photography! — ErinWholleyPhotography • Weddings are a culmination of love, life, happiness, family history, commitment, 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 will hype you up all day long to make sure you are enjoying every aspect of your day with your partner— that’s truly what it’s all about!

“Okay where do I even start? Erin is the absolute sweetest, a true gem! My mother in law referred her, and we couldn’t have been luckier. She made Matt and I feel so comfortable and confident the entire day, and even weeks leading up to the wedding day. The one thing I would recommend is hiring her, because your wedding day is the most chaotic overwhelming beautiful experience, and she keeps you cool, calm, collected and fully present. There would be moments where I would get overwhelmed, and she would just remind me to take a deep breath and enjoy it because it truly goes by in a blink! All my girls and Matt’s guys LOVED her she was hilarious and SO bubbly it would just put a smile on everyone’s face! She also was able to control in a calm manner two wedding parties and a large family, which is hard to do! Love love love her, you need her for your special day! I will be using her for all future shoots (maternity; baby, family etc if she allows LOL)”

If I were a doctor, my clients would say I have a good bedside manner. I'm outgoing and professional. I work quickly and effortlessly. I can offer tips, if I notice your uncomfortable with being photographed. I'm accommodating and will shoot under the radar if you want a more candid style. I guess I'm a people pleaser in a way. I want you to rave about your photos.

“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!”

I'm Marc Sadowski, a New England wedding photographer with 20+ years of experience capturing weddings across New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Maine, Vermont, and beyond. My approach is candid and documentary — I stay back, watch, and wait for the moments that happen when you forget the camera is there. I learned photography as a photojournalist, where you get one shot or you miss it forever. That instinct drives everything I do on your wedding day.

“We had an absolutely incredible experience with Marc! When we were interested in booking him, he recommended we have a call first to discuss our vision for our wedding and the logistics we knew of so far. After we booked, we had another call the month of the wedding to go over all of our details. He left no question unanswered and was able to make sure we incorporated everything we wanted for photos into our wedding. Day of our wedding, Marc could not have done a better job capturing our first look, family photos, portraits, ceremony, and reception. He led us through a series of poses that felt natural and had us both at ease the entire time. We relied on his expertise for backgrounds and overall vision of the photos, and he exceeded our expectations. He was great with our friends and families, and captured any photos throughout the night that we requested. He went above and beyond getting the photos back to us in a timely manner. I can’t recommend enough hiring Marc for your wedding or event!”

“Working with Alexis Ann Photography was such a joy from start to finish. Alexis got back to us right away whenever we had questions, and her bubbly energy made the whole planning process feel effortless. On our wedding day, both Alexis and Brendan were phenomenal—they captured so many moments we didn't even know were happening, and every single photo feels warm and genuine. We received our sneak peeks so fast and had much more than we expected. There were a few family photos that I would’ve loved more direction with the spacing between members, but the day was moving fast, it was 85 degrees, and I feel like everyone was getting a little flustered (as normal for family photos they are so overwhelming…those who know, know!!). I cannot wait to see the full album because I know it’ll be a collection of clear, beautiful images that tell the story of our day perfectly. Honestly, Alexis was one of the best vendors we worked with, and we'd recommend her in a heartbeat to any couple looking for a photographer who truly cares. Brendan was her 2nd shooter that we hired alongside with her and he was so comfortable to be around, my husband and I felt we made a new friend instantly. I will definitely be looking for Alexis’ services in the future for any additional celebrations!”

“We don’t even know where to begin with Nicole!! It was an absolute dream to work with her. Due to unforeseen circumstances (it’s COVID, right?), we were out a photographer one month out from our wedding. Nicole was the first person I messaged on Instagram and I am SO happy she was available. We met over coffee a couple weeks before our wedding since an engagement shoot wasn’t possible for our schedule. We breathed a huge sigh of relief after meeting her, knowing that we would connect with her perfectly. Not to mention, her style of photography and editing is exactly what we wanted. The only time my husband and I really posed was for formal family/couple portraits! The rest of the time, we didn’t even notice her and we got so many gorgeous, candid photos. We got our pictures yesterday, exactly on our one-month anniversary! I was shocked to get that many edited pictures so soon! We cried looking through our sneak peeks (which were delivered day after the wedding) and our full gallery. We felt comfortable, confident, and loved throughout the whole day. She fit perfectly with our intimate wedding, being one of six guests. I can’t recommend Nicole enough; she came in clutch for us, was super flexible with talking/meeting with us, was the best friend we needed day of, and delivered the most gorgeous pictures which such creative vantage points. I’m at a loss for words with how beautiful everything turned out. Thank you so much, Nicole!”

Unlike many husband and wife photography teams, we were not high school sweethearts. We also didn’t know each other in college, or even live in the same country when we fell in love with photography. Instead, we started as friendly competitors. It took about four years until that competition turned into something more than discussing tricks of the trade. Eventually, we won each other over and joined forces.

“We had a great initial phone call with Gaby and decided to book Gaby and David for our engagement shoot. There was constant communication and we loved their attitude leading up to the pictures. Our engagement shoot was so much fun and it allowed us to relax and lean into their advice. The pictures turned out beautiful and we can't wait to have them at our wedding! Highly recommend”

Lorna was very nice and professional. She offered great advice and really wants to get to know you and your partner. I was very impressed with Lorna overall and 10/10 would recommend.”

We are as invested in your wedding as you are! My team and I strive to create a comfortable, trusting environment for all of our couples by connecting before we even start shooting, building a friendship where being in front of the camera is fun and easy and your vision is brought to life. In other words, I would like your experience with us to be the least stressful part of your wedding day. There will be posing and direction, but we pride ourselves on our unobtrusive, candid style. After all, you are the stars of the day, but you don’t need to feel the cameras in your face all the time.

“Jess, Mike and their team anre incredible! We have so much to say but if you only have a few seconds, look no further, BOOK JESS for your wedding!! The photos Jess delivered are UNBELIEVABLE. She has an incredible talent of completely capturing every emotion, moment, and behind the scenes memory exactly how it happened the day of. Looking at our photos transports us right back to the best day of our lives. They are beautiful and we felt so confident in front of her lens. From the day we started working with Jess, we knew we were in good hands. She allowed us to feel totally comfortable and calm on the day of our wedding and we were able to let loose, enjoy, and soak up every moment. On top of being incredibly talented and professional, Jess is a wonderful person and you will genuinely enjoy working with her as we did. We would recommend her to everyone, and now find ourselves dreaming of”

“I am so happy I chose Authentically Linds as the photographer for our wedding. Lindsay was easy to communicate with, listened to our vision, and executed it perfectly. Lindsay took the time to set up a call with me to review her THOROUGH questionnaire to ensure she new all the important (and minor) details. On the day of, Lindsay made me and my family feel so comfortable and eased a lot of the anxiety I was having! She knew exactly what to do and I relied on her for direction and reassurance. Lindsay did a phenomenal job of being in 100 places at once in order to get as many shots as possible. She came prepared and had visions/poses ready in her mind, which is evident in the photos she shared with us. We are beyond in love with all of our photos and couldn't have imagined a better experience. Lindsay is so sweet, kind, and creative. I highly recommend her for your special day!”
