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!

Gloucester, MA
  • Videographer
  • Cinematic style
  • Starts at $2,400

Based in Gloucester Massachusetts, Pirates Lane Video is a small locally owned videography studio, dedicated to crafting high quality films that capture the heart of your big day. For over a decade, Jim Merchant of Pirates Lane Video has been providing New England couples with quality wedding films that capture all of the emotion of the day. Jim has filmed hundreds of weddings, and will be the main videographer and editor of your film, for consistent high-quality results. With unobtrusive multicamera coverage, you can relax and enjoy your wedding day knowing that all of the best moments are being beautifully captured for years of enjoyment.

We used Pirates Lane to film our wedding video, and I am SO glad we did. One thing that sets Pirates Lane apart is the length of the videos they offer. When I was looking around at other vendors, most seemed to only offer a 10-minute max video. If you want the full thing, they'll just hand over the raw, unedited footage. Not at Pirates Lane. When I met with Jim in our introductory call, I told him I wanted to see my full wedding. Full ceremony, speeches, first dance, parents dances, etc. and he delivered an hour and twenty-minute, fully edited video that did just that! We are so grateful to actually be able to relive our day in full for years to come and hopefully show our future family someday. Our ceremony was so meaningful to us, I could not image not being able to see it back! Jim was also a pleasure to work with pre-wedding and on the day of. He arrived on time and was a fly on the wall during the whole day. We even got our video ahead of the contracted time. Could not recommend more!

Cake Ann

Gloucester, MA
  • Cakes & desserts
  • Starts at $150

At Cake Ann, we make cakes for special occasions or 'just because'. We love to make shower cakes, wedding cakes or special dessert menus customized for your event. We also offer breakfast pastries, quiches, daily flavors of cupcakes and specialty desserts like our highly sought after Kouign Amann (pronounced “Queen Amon”). If you haven’t tried this classic french pastry, you are missing out on the scrumptious layers of buttery dough. But be careful, you may just fall in love.

Cake Ann was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding! They were responsive, helpful, and highly communicative throughout the entire process. The cake they created for us was absolutely beautiful and perfectly designed to match our wedding theme. We had a hard time deciding on just one flavor during the tasting because they were both so delicious, so they ended up making us two different flavors - and our guests raved about how amazing the cake was. Cake Ann truly helped make our special day even more perfect with their stunning and delicious work. We couldn't recommend them highly enough!

The Atlantic Ocean Room at Elks Club at Bass Rocks provided a clean, pretty venue with a great view for our wedding. The events planner there was generally helpful when asked, but at times seemed to try to push her own agenda rather than fully listening to our preferences. Communication could lag at times, and I felt the team was a bit forgetful with information. However, the bar service was excellent, and overall the venue was easy to work with. While not perfect, it was a great location that worked well with our separate vendors.

If I could relive our wedding at Glen Magna Farms, I would 100x over. This venue was everything we wanted and more— it’s such a perfect gem and still somewhat affordable compared to other outdoor venues in New England, especially if you are looking for an outdoor tented option. It has it all— the tent, dancefloor, and tables are already included and so no need to bring in an outdoor rental company. They also only work with one catering company, one of the BEST, Vinwood Catering so that makes things really easy for you to plan and the food and drinks were incredible. I also used their day of coordinator which was great because she helped with timeline and was able to keep things moving. This is an outdoor venue only so keep that in mind there is no indoor backup option however they have a very well thought out and organized rain plan and the sides of the tent go down so regardless of weather you will be fine! We got lucky and had a perfect 75 degree sunny day in early October so the grounds and gardens were a dream. All of our guests said they have never seen a more beautiful venue — and trust me we have been to ALOT of weddings. They let you into the venue two hours before to get dressed and get ready and have photos inside the bridal and groom suite inside the mansion- which is also a dream. I really felt like I was living a fairy tale that day. There are no on site accommodations but do not fret- there are several hotel options very close by! If you are looking for a timeless, romantic, fairytale, garden wedding- LOOK NO FURTHER. BOOK IT!!

DJ Shyne is the difference between a good wedding and a once-in-a-lifetime, next-level, unforgettable experience. Hiring him was the single best decision we made for our wedding. He is outstanding—a true artist in his craft. It’s so clear that he’s not only dedicated to his profession but also deeply loves what he does. We gave DJ Shyne what we thought was an impossible challenge: blend pop hits, Spanish tunes, emo throwbacks, Disney jams, booty-shaking hip hop, and a long list of theme songs from our favorite TV shows and movies (everything from The White Lotus to Saw). On top of that, we added a handful of random, deeply personal songs you’d never expect at a wedding. What happened? Not only did he execute this perfectly, but he became the catalyst for a wedding that felt curated exactly to US—spinning a history of us both as individuals and our journey together woven into a seamless soundtrack. His mixing was unique, unexpected, and so much fun. As the bride, there was no place I wanted to be except on that dance floor. Our guests went wild. Compliments poured in all night and days after. We got so many texts like, “BROOO your DJ?! ” that we started to lose count. But it wasn’t just about the music. From the very first Zoom, DJ Shyne radiated charisma and professionalism. He carried that positive energy into every planning meeting and right through the reception—he even gave our speakers personal pep talks before their toasts! And when it came to group dances, he did something I’ve never seen: he stepped onto the dance floor, mic in hand, and taught the moves live. Towards the end of the Cha Cha Slide, he started teaching the crowd the moves to the Cupid Shuffle so by the time it started they were already doing it!!! No confusion, no awkward guessing, just pure joy and inclusion. He quickly became the vendor we looked forward to meeting with most. We ended each Zoom call feeling assured, uplifted, and excited about the possibilities. Out of everyone we worked with, he was the best. It does not get better than DJ Shyne. He isn’t just the DJ your wedding needs, he’s the DJ your wedding deserves.

We got married here on Sunday 9/29 and I really can’t say enough good things about this space. The team was great to work with and all of our guests were so impressed by the space because it’s not like anything else really. I LOVED having the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception all in one room because we wasted almost no part of our day shepherding folks from place to place. The caterer recommended to us, Premier, was also amazing and they were on it and had many great suggestions to make the day as great as possible as they work in the space often. If you want outdoor photos before we found two great little parks to work with and ended up doing our first look and family portraits at “Leather City Commons” which is a three minute drive down the street. Then the two of us walked the ten minute walk back to Olio from there and got some great photos by Peabody City Hall and there are truly a plethora of great brick walls to choose from for a good backdrop! For getting ready we stayed at the Bell Inn and Tavern and their team was also amazing! I got ready in a Junior King Suite my parents were staying in and their team flipped the bridal suite early (as they had a wedding party the night before) so we could do bridal portraits with the moms and my sister. My husband and I stayed there that night and the room is gorgeous. My only regret with that space is we didn’t stay longer because it was so beautiful!!! (And the room service food we ordered from the tavern for lunch was great!) Shout out specifically to Kelsey and Heather for all of their help. Logistically I was a little nervous about it being in Peabody as we live closer to Boston but parking is free on Sundays and folks could Uber easily to the venue. Many out of town folks loved being able to stay near Salem to make it a great weekend trip. Last, I cannot recommend enough having a day of coordinator. I know Sarah who runs Olio has her own planning company and would be amazing to work with. I was lucky enough to have an amazing coworker and friend who helped me out and I literally gave him a binder with everything and I did not stress about anything for the entire day. I did not see my cell phone or get asked a single logistics question all day and it was GLORIOUS. I think that covers everything and will absolutely update if I think of anything else that can help out future brides considering this great space!!!

Awarded Best of Zola
I very recently got married, and the planning leading up to the wedding went so smoothly and so quickly! Venue, florals, photography- things got checked off our list with relative ease. Then we got a bit stuck- we needed an officiant! It can seem like a simple pick, but if you don’t want to have a friend or family get ordained, and you’re not a member of a traditional religion, it can be a harder match to make. But then, we found Tara at Witchy Woman Weddings and reached out immediately. We’re so glad we did!! Inquiry was simple and responses were fast. We only spoke through email leading up to the day itself, but Tara does have the option to book meetings if you’d prefer some face-to-face contact in the lead up to your big day. She has such a peaceful and warm presence that, even if you’re meeting her for the first time at the altar for the ceremony as I did, you feel that calm and kind energy emanating towards you. The process for creating your ceremony script is both easy and personalized- Tara has an in-depth questionnaire to fill out that covers a wide range of topics so she can tailor the ceremony to your unique story and the vibe you’re aiming to create. It really covers all the bases but doesn’t feel daunting to complete. After that, she delivers a sample script and makes sure to note that edits can be made if there is anything you want changed- we didn’t make a single change to ours! We got emotional just reading through our draft and were amazed at how she captured us in the writing. To sum all this up, I am beyond grateful to have found Tara. She was the perfect person to join us together, mixing elements of both the traditional and the not-so-traditional on our Friday the 13th wedding. I would recommend her to anyone who wants a truly special, unique, and heartfelt ceremony. At the risk of sounding a little cheesy, she truly helped make our day a magical one!

Entertainment By Scott Sica was the perfect choice for our ceremony and reception. From the first phone call I knew Scott was the right choice for our wedding. He was very slpersonavke and I could tell he truly loved his job as DJ. I was anxious about finding a DJ but Scott made the planning process actually fun. I was having trouble finding songs for first dance, entrance, processional, cake cutting etc. Scott helped us by sending us playlists. Scott timed everything with our music perfectly and it was magical. Scott had everyone on the dance floor and he truly knew how to read the crowd to keep everyone dancing. I would highly recommend Entertainment By Scott Sica to any couple looking for a DJ that will keep their guests energized and engaged throughout the entire reception.

Alycia is truly one of a kind, and I can’t recommend her enough! She’s done makeup for all three of us—my two sisters and me—for our weddings, and every single time, she’s absolutely nailed it. For my own wedding, I knew I was in the best hands. Alycia just gets it. She took the time to understand the look I wanted and she brought it to life perfectly. What really sets Alycia apart is not just her incredible skill, but her calm and kind presence. On such an emotional day, having someone like her around makes all the difference. It’s honestly a bit of a family tradition now, any special event, Alycia is the first call we make. She’s become a part of our most special memories, and I couldn’t imagine going through the day without her. Thank you, Alycia. You are amazing!

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.

Hiring Marc was honestly one of the best choices we made for our wedding. Right off the bat, he was super organized and easy to communicate with. We had a multiple of calls/meetings before the big day to go over our schedule and what we wanted everything to look like, which gave us so much peace of mind. On the day of, he was amazing to work with. Neither of us wanted to feel stiff or forced into weird poses, and he completely respected that. He stuck to what made us feel comfortable, and it made the whole process feel natural and fun. Plus, he is ridiculously talented and brought such a great energy that made the entire day feel magical. We're so grateful for him!

What stood out to me most is that they didn’t just take pictures, they caught memories. There’s one of me and my best friend holding hands before the ceremony and I cry every time I look at it. The pictures of the reception are hilarious too, everyone dancing like crazy and just having fun. I love that they didn’t miss any detail, from the tiny decorations to the huge moments. The video makes me feel like I’m there again, with all the laughter and happy tears. My dad got emotional watching it and he’s not usually like that. They made sure everyone felt comfortable, even people who don’t usually like being photographed. The editing was clean and not overdone. Honestly, these are priceless memories. I feel like I’ll be grateful to them forever.

Hi, I'm Alexis and I am a 27 year old full-time photographer! I joined the wedding industry at the beginning of 2020 (perfect timing right?!) and since then have conquered 100+ weddings. My goal is to make your wedding day a care free, enjoyable experience! I will make sure everything is perfect so that you don't have to.

Working with Alexis has been such a joy! We found her over a year ago and she did our engagement photos, and immediately we vibed with her. She brings such a good yet professional energy to her time with couples, and even though we were a little awkward she reassured us the photos would be great. And they were! She is a great communicator and answered all emails and texts within a reasonable time, and was overall so easy to work with. While we haven’t gotten our full album back yet (we just got married less than a week ago), the engagement photos were incredible and the wedding sneak peeks even better. I heard so many good things from our guests on how they found her professional yet sweet and personable. I would recommend Alexis to anyone as her work speaks for itself, and she was truly a delight, and I hope we get a chance to work with her again!
