“Robert was an absolute pleasure to work with on our wedding day. From our first interaction, he was very clear and professional. Taking our engagement photos, he was very kind and patient, even when I was very nervous. On our wedding day, he was steady and patient throughout the bumps of the day, helping me stay calm when I felt like we were running behind schedule. He even assisted all the groomsmen with their boutonnières, and helped the groom with his studs (which neither of us realized were even missing). The quality of his work was exceptional, and he captured so many special moments, including my 93 year old grandfather tearing up the dance floor. It is a picture I will treasure forever. We look forward to working with him again in the future. We couldn't have asked for a better photographer to capture our special day.”

Hi, I’m Alex! If you are looking for a creative, passionate and professional wedding photographer with an easy to vibe with personality, then I’m your guy! I’m here to make your big day something to remember for a lifetime. Whether you are having a large scale black tux event or a small intimate garden wedding, I am here to bring your vision to life. I have been a professional wedding photographer for over 6 years now and truly enjoy what I do.

“Alex was incredible to work with right from the start. He made us feel comfortable and excited about our elopement day. The photos he took are beautiful, dreamy and so creative — perfectly captures not just how everything looked, but exactly how it felt. We encountered a few curveballs on our day, and he took it all in stride with us, and patiently kept everything flowing. It is such a gift to be able to have our incredible photos to look back on and relive the joy of the day. We can’t recommend him enough. If you want a photographer who’s not just incredibly talented but also kind, flexible, and a joy to be around, he’s it. We’ll treasure our photos forever!”

“After your venue — and your partner (in that order) — your photographer is the most important choice you’ll make for your wedding. They’re the ones who help you preserve the day forever. They’re also with you through so much of it, so you want people who make you feel comfortable, relaxed, and genuinely add to the experience. Joe and Elin do exactly that.

Hi, I'm Danielle (but you can call me Danie) I’ll let you in on a little secret—I don’t love my wedding photos. And while I loved the day, I didn’t connect with my photographer, and it shows. That’s why, as your photographer based in Massachusetts, I prioritize getting to know you as a couple and helping you feel comfortable from the first moment we connect. Because when you feel good, your photos will shine. I'll capture the moments that matter, big and small, and I'll do it in a way that's relaxed, authentic, and true to your vision.

Awarded Best of Zola
“Danielle was hands down the best vendor we had for our wedding — truly above and beyond in every way! From the moment I met her, she brought such a calming presence that instantly eased my nerves. Throughout the day, she became my go-to person for almost everything, not just photography. Whether it was helping with timing, keeping us on track, or simply offering a reassuring word, Danielle was always there! She captured every special moment with such care and creativity. The photos are absolutely stunning — timeless, emotional, and full of life. But beyond the incredible images, it was her professionalism, kindness, and calming energy that made the biggest impact. One of my favorite moments of the day was a surprise I had planned for my soon-to-be husband. We play the game “punch buggie,” so I arranged to have a vintage VW Beetle as the ultimate punch buggie surprise on our wedding day. Danielle went out of her way to help make it happen — she reached out to the owner of the car, coordinated the timing and location, and helped execute the surprise flawlessly. It was such a fun and meaningful moment, and it all went off without a hitch thanks to her! I would absolutely recommend Danielle to anyone in a heartbeat!! If we could do it all over again, we’d book her again without hesitation. She is truly a gem and made our day that much more special!”

For as long as I can remember, I’ve felt most at home when I was creating art. I fell in love with photography at the age of 13, when I realized I could create art out of the moments that were already happening around me. Fast forward a bit...I've now been working as a professional photographer for over 5 years, and have had the pleasure of shooting many gorgeous weddings all over New England. I love capturing bold, fun, colorful, creative, and authentic images that you can look back at with an enormous smile on your face for years to come.

  • Serves Gardner, MA

I’m Katlyn, a Central Massachusetts based wedding photographer who believes photos should feel lived in, emotional, and real. I grew up loving family photographs and home videos, and that love turned into a career documenting meaningful moments for others. I’ve been photographing weddings for over 16 years and still feel excited before every one. I’m laid back, organized, and known for having a big laugh, which helps people relax in front of the camera. I love working closely with my couples and their families to create photos that truly feel like them.

“If I could give Katlyn Reilly Photography 100 stars, I would. She isn’t just a photographer, she’s the kind of person who makes you feel like your love story is the only one that matters. From our very first meeting, she was warm, genuine, and full of helpful advice. On our wedding day, she guided us with ease, made every photo feel natural, and still somehow caught those unplanned, perfect moments you’ll treasure forever. Katlyn doesn’t just snap pictures, she listens. She remembered the little details about our family, and made sure to capture a private toast to my late father that will forever be one of my most cherished memories. Months later, she remembered those same details at our maternity shoot, and we already know our newborn photos will be just as special. She has this amazing ability to make you feel like your wedding or event is the most important one she’s ever shot, because to Katlyn, it is. She cares about your story, your moments, and your memories, and it shows in every single photo. If you want jaw‑dropping pictures AND someone who will feel like a friend for life, make your first and only call to Katlyn. You won’t just be grateful you did, you’ll relive those moments every time you see the photos.”

Kelly Pomeroy Photography

  • Serves Gardner, MA

Hey friends, I'm Kelly Pomeroy! I have been photographing weddings for over 13 years and I specialize in true to color, genuine wedding photography, . I want my couples to get to be present in the moments, big and small, on their wedding day. Together. I love snuggling with my cats, chocolate chip ice cream and traveling with my family! I'm a wife and a mom. I married the Chandler to my Monica, the Nick Miller to my Jessica Day, the Steve Rogers to my Peggy Carter. I believe that love is love. I believe that black lives matter. I believe in inclusion, equality, and taking care of our planet.

“Wedding 10/19/2023 We can’t thank Kelly enough for being such an outstanding photographer and overall amazing person! We knew almost immediately we wanted to work with Kelly when we noticed our mutual love of animals and Disney on her website. And after seeing her light, bright and beautiful work, then having our first consultation with her- we were sold! We had our engagement photos with Kelly in Newport, and dealt with a cloudy, drizzly day- she made it so much fun, and beautiful, and our photos were outstanding and bright and lovely despite the weather. You could literally not tell it had been a bit gray and bland that day based on the photos we got back. She even mailed us one of our favorite photos printed on canvas as a surprise and we instantly hung it in our living room. She was a phenomenal help to everything wedding related- coming up with a suggested timeline before we even knew we needed one. She was always quick and ready to answer questions, give helpful advice, or just to listen when I was getting overwhelmed. AND she made sure my dress got fluffed once I walked to the altar during the ceremony. The venue we chose in Windham, NH was a location she had never been to before- but from the amazing shots she and her 2nd photographer, Gwen, took you’d think she’d been photographing there forever. And her attention to details is fantastic! Every moment, every detail of decorations, no matter how small, was captured. Her fun, caring, outgoing, creative personality shows through every time we interact and I can’t say how thankful we are that we had the chance to work with her. Not that you needed one more nudge in the right direction to hire Kelly for your wedding, but if you did- this is it!”

I’m Rachel, and I’m a wedding photographer based in Massachusetts and willing to travel as far as your dreams will take you. I’m a sucker for the little details: the way he looks at you when you come down the aisle, the way you laughed at that little shimmy she did on the dance floor. It’s the little moments that make the sweetest memories, and I’m a feelings junkie, so I am THERE for them. I believe that laughter is good medicine, that love is love, and that memories are worth keeping. I’m also a licensed psychologist, and that means I know how to help you feel comfortable and at ease, and I’m great at soothing anxious couples.

“Rachel was our photographer for our September 2018 wedding. She was a pleasure to work with, very transparent, and made everyone in our wedding party feel comfortable. We got everything we asked for and the pictures came out great! Would recommend 110%!!”

With over 10 years of industry experience, my strengths clearly lie in wedding and portraiture photography. Whether you're a recently engaged couple looking for someone to preserve your journey from fiancés to newlyweds through photographs, an expectant Mama hoping to capture your maternity glow or simply wanting to document you and your loved ones during whatever special season of life you're in, I would love to hear from you, I specialize in all types of portraiture but I am renowned for my wedding and engagement photography above all else. Whatever your photo needs are, I would love to chat and find out if we're a good match.

“I don't know what we would've done without Sam. From our first conversation, I knew I wanted to have her on our team, not only for her obvious talent but because she was someone I knew I'd like being around (no matter how stressed I got), who could help direct people who felt out of place, and make even the most "I-hate-pictures" family members smile. She went above and beyond in every sense. She captured everyone at their best, and makes locations look magical. She even came out to San Diego to take our engagement pictures, which came out stunning and made us feel so calm going into the wedding. She got to meet us kind of at our best, before a very busy day. But she doesn't show any sign of the stress -- she had a timeline and she kept us to it, while also being realistic. It ended up raining - she found a spot that worked. We got enough shots - she let us go enjoy cocktail hour. My mom was telling anyone who would listen that she thinks Sam should have her own venue and run everything lol. Could not recommend her enough.”

On our wedding day, we experienced some unfortunate travel issues that made us late to the venue, causing us to miss our scheduled time for photos before the ceremony. Knowing how important it was to us to get our first look, family, and bridal party photos done beforehand, Elin and Joe immediately jumped in—efficiently coordinating everyone, keeping us calm, and making it all happen seamlessly. After the ceremony, we were met with rain, creating even more photo challenges. Once again, Elin and Joe remained calm, professional, and didn’t hesitate for a second to get rained on to capture beautiful moments. We absolutely love all of the photos from the best day of our lives.

My name is Melissa Kelly! I am a Boston Metrowest based wedding photographer! I live in Grafton, MA with my wonderful husband and my two energetic boys! Photography has been a family hobby for my entire life! My father and I have always shared a special bond over our creative and artistic side and my maternal grandfather even had a dark room IN his home! It's in my blood! I am so excited to be able to share my passion with others!

“Both my engagement photos and wedding photos were taken by Melissa! Honestly, she was the best! (And it should be noted, I am picky with pictures haha) While "wedding planning" some people recommended I hire a videographer, but with Melissa's photos I didn't even need one! She captures every moment, even ones you didn't realize were being captured. It's like reliving my day every time I look at these photos. There is a lot of beauty in her editing, lighting, and angles. She gives you pose ideas too for those who are a little camera-awkward. Plus I got sooooo much positive feedback from wedding guest about how much they loved her the night of the wedding due to her amazing, fun personality, but then when they saw the outcome of the photos afterwards, everyone including my husband and I were (even more) impressed. I absolutely recommend Photography By Melissa Kelly. You will get beautiful photos and memories a genuine kind person to hang out with on your special day :) I honestly can't thank her enough, hands down!”

We have history, we have cameras, we have a height difference. And we think two heads are better than one, four eyes better than two. We are Joe and Katye Brier, and picture-making is a daily passion and pursuit in our family. It’s the souvenir we take home after traveling, and they way in which we wrap our heads around the passage of time. Our approach to wedding photography is to extend as much care to the small moments as we do to the marquis moments of the day.

“Couldn't have imagined another photographer! Our friends commented they have never seen more efficient photographers for the formals which gave us lots of time for couples photos. And despite some challenging weather they pivoted so fast. Can't wait to see all our pictures.”

I started photographing weddings in 2017. I originally got my first camera to photograph landscapes- National Parks specifically. But the second the camera was in my hands, I was immediately drawn to photographing connections between people. Since that moment I haven't hesitated while my heart led me in the direction of wedding and elopement photography! I love documenting the in-between, unprompted moments; the subtle way your partner glances over at you with a side smile when you're not paying attention, the groom fiddling with his new ring, and the uncontrollable laughter when you're melting into each other during your couple's photos.

“We had the pleasure of having Tammy shoot our engagement photos, as well as our entire wedding day. As many others have stated, we would highly recommend her for not only her gorgeous photos but for her relaxed and personable style. Throughout the entire process Tammy communicated with us to be sure she was giving us exactly what we were looking for in terms of style/structure. The day of our engagement shoot, we had unexpected weather but thankfully she was flexible and responsive in moving the time for our shoot to accommodate the unexpected rain. Despite the fact it was cold and rainy, she happily worked with us to get all (plus more) of the photos we were expecting. Between both our wedding and engagement shoots, Tammy did a fantastic job working in all of the ideas we had envisioned. We had to downsize our wedding and had plenty of unexpected restrictions due to Covid but Tammy continued to help support making our day special. We would recommend Tammy to anyone looking for beautiful, candid, relaxed yet fun photos and we look forward to future opportunities of working with her!”

Hey! I am the girl behind the camera! I am so happy to have ventured into photography professionally. I absolutely love meeting new people, seeing old friends, being a part of such wonderful events and watching my couples blossom into families. I am a mommy to my sweet little girls, Taylor and Bella and a wife to my caring husband, Peter I have 2 French Bulldogs, Stitch and Dobby and two lovable kitties, Buttercup and Meatball. I truly am passionate about what I do and would love to have the opportunity to work with you and your family to create photographs that you will treasure now and forever.

“If we could give more stars, we would! We can't put into words how grateful we are for Stephanie, and we can’t recommend her enough! We have received photos from her multiple times, including the most important, our wedding this past November. We really wanted someone who made getting photos taken feel natural but also fun, and she did just that. She captured our day so perfectly! At no point did we feel rushed to meet a timeline, and while we enjoyed our night, she captured all the moments around us. She is both professional and personable. She went above and beyond to ensure we received everything we wanted, even doing a quick turnaround on a sunrise shoot so we could create a guest book for the wedding. Thank you again, Stephanie!”

My photography is all about capturing raw, real moments that make life so beautiful, from the laughter, the tears, to the tiniest details, I'm here to document your story as it naturally unfolds. When I'm not behind the lens, you can find me practicing or teaching yoga, hiking, painting, trying new coffee shops, or spending time with loved ones. I'm a firm believer that love is love - regardless of who your partner is, you will always be welcome here. I believe that time is our most precious resource, & that's why it's so important to cherish every moment - big or small.

“Working with Kassia Lee Photography was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding day. Since I've known Kassia since high school, I already knew she was down to earth and kind, but seeing her professionalism in action was something special. She was responsive and easy to work with throughout the entire planning process, and her attentive nature meant she caught all the little moments that made our day unique. Her creative eye for detail really shines through in our photos—they're absolutely beautiful and timeless, and honestly, I find myself looking at them over and over. Kassia helped us create and capture moments that we'll love and admire forever. We can't thank her enough for being such a pleasure to work with and for giving us photos we'll treasure for a lifetime.”

Capturing weddings is more than just a job for us, it’s a passion. Every love story deserves to be told in a way that timeless, emotional, and true to the couple. From the smallest detail to the first kiss, our goal is to preserve memories that will be cherished for generations.

“From the very first meeting, we just knew they were the right team for us. It honestly felt like they were heaven-sent. They made the whole process so easy and stress-free, and on our wedding day they were everything we could’ve hoped for and more. Not only are they amazing at what they do, but they have such a gift for making you feel comfortable and truly seen. The way they captured our day still takes our breath away, every detail, every emotion, every special moment was documented so beautifully. “Amazing” doesn’t even come close to describing their work. We are beyond grateful for them and would choose them a million times over.”

I wouldn't have changed it for the world! - We live in the woods in Sturbridge. - I started this business in 2008, and it’s been a wild ride since! - I love to be outside, anything outdoors! - I shoot an average of 15 weddings each year. - I have photographed over 150 weddings in my career. - I love creating beautiful images but more importantly, I love serving couples on one of the greatest days of their lives!!

“Brooke Ellen Photography was a fantastic choice for our wedding photography. Their communication style was straightforward, which we appreciated as it made the planning process smooth and efficient.

I'm Jem. The first thing most people notice about me is my accent. I grew up in Sydney, Australia, and eventually followed love all the way across the world to New England, where I now call home. I’ve been photographing weddings since 2010, after a friend asked me to capture their big day. I didn’t know it then, but that “yes” would change everything. From the moment I picked up my camera at that wedding, I knew I had found the work that makes me feel most alive. What I love most is creating photographs that feel like real memories, not stiff poses. My goal is for you to look back and not just see how your day looked, but feel how it felt.

“We recently had the pleasure of working with Jem for our wedding, and the experience was beyond amazing! From the initial consultation (over drinks!) to the final delivery of photos, Jem was professional, creative, and truly passionate about capturing every special moment. On the big day, Jem made us feel completely at ease, blending seamlessly with our friends & family while also taking charge to ensure all the important shots were captured. The quality of the photos is stunning—every shot feels candid yet perfectly composed, capturing the essence of our celebration. She also listened to our vision and incorporated those ideas into the photos beautifully. Her attention to detail and ability to capture not just moments, but emotions, really stood out. We couldn’t be happier with the results and highly recommend Jem to anyone looking for a talented, personable, and FUN wedding photographer. Jem truly made our day unforgettable!”
