Channing Johnson Photography

Melrose, MA
  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $5,000

I have a photojournalism degree from the oldest and most prestigious journalism school in the country. TIME Magazine, The Wall Street Journal, and U.S. News and World Report have all hired me to photograph assignments for them. Whether I’m capturing moments for a national audience or for a single family, I draw on my storytelling background to honor the truth in all moments big and small. My job isn’t to create beauty. My job is to see the beauty already there. All work is personal work.

I am so glad we went with Channing as our wedding day photographer. Photography, particularly in a candid, documentary style, was a big priority for us. Our wedding day album is so incredibly beautiful & unique. Channing captured the emotion of the day so perfectly through super subtle but impactful moments (he also captured gorgeous traditional portraits as well!). He was so lovely to work with day of - calm, collected, communicative, and a fly on the wall that noticed all these tiny moments anyone else might have missed. He delivered our album quickly, which was amazing as we were itching for them! Truly can't recommend him enough if you are looking for a talented photographer for any important event."

YOU'RE GETTING MARRIED. You're about to spend months planning, researching, and investing in a single day that you'll never forget. That's why preserving it is so important. Photography is a way to relive all those fleeting moments, including the ones you missed, over and over. It's important now, and it's foundational to building your legacy. Your wedding photos are not only for you, but for your grandparents and grandchildren. Your wedding day will be celebrated and remembered through the eye of your Wedding Photographer, so choosing someone who fits your vibe and brings out everyone's genuine personality is essential.

Awarded Best of Zola
Chris was such a joy to work with! From our very first meeting before even hiring him, he really spent the time to talk through what our vision was and how we wanted our day to be captured. He was a great support every step of the way for planning as well as on the big day! In addition to being a great listener, Chris has great suggestions on how to plan for photos based on his extensive experience (angles, timing, group shots). Our wedding was a large one, so Chris hired a fantastic second lead photographer and several other photographers throughout the day so our event was seamlessly captured! Another important note - all of our family and other vendors (makeup artists, planners, etc) commented on how great it was to work with Chris, and were excited to work with him on future events - I think this is such an important quality for a photographer, and definitely appreciated how professional and friendly Chris was with EVERYONE! He kept the day moving as it should and captured some unbelievable shots that I revisit on probably a daily basis :) I honestly cannot recommend Chris enough - from his genuine care and support for you through the planning and important day, to the absolutely stunning product he delivers. Thank you Chris for everything!!

Hi there! I'm Nia, a wedding and elopement photographer based in Boston, MA but obsessed with traveling. I love the days when I stumble upon a new landscape, learn something new from a stranger or aimlessly drive until I end up somewhere decent. This is why I love storytelling. My favorite stories to tell are by far the love shared between two people. Storytelling and making a moment last is what drew me to photography. Documenting your day in an honest, soulful way that shows who you are is what I strive for.

Awarded Best of Zola
Nia has a natural eye for capturing the most beautiful wedding photos I've ever seen (coming from someone who grew up in a family of photographers). From the first meeting to receiving our wedding photos, she was so communicative and trusted our vision, and she used her amazing ability to capture the best moments of the day. Nia is also such a fun and genuine human! We loved spending time with her through our meetings up until the big day and our engagement pictures and just made everything perfect. When we received the final album, we couldn't find one picture we didn't love, and loved how she was able to capture little details that even we missed! She's a true visionary and has an eye for photography that is truly a born skill. Nia we loved having you be apart of our wedding day and cannot wait to see you grow even more and the other beautiful weddings you photograph!

A Dream Wedding at Margeaux Supper Parlor We hosted our engagement party turned wedding at Margeaux Supper Parlor, and it was pure magic. From the moment we stepped inside, we were blown away by the beauty of the space - especially the bar, which created the most stunning backdrop for photos we’ll cherish forever. Rebekah, the owner, and her incredible team thought of everything. From a custom, dairy-free menu (which was so important to me) to specialty passed cocktails and thoughtful service throughout, not a single detail was missed. The private oasis room was the perfect retreat for a quiet moment together during the celebration and added such a personal touch to the evening. And yes, we even sabered champagne! Whether it’s a bridal shower, engagement party, or wedding, we can’t recommend Margeaux enough. It’s a truly special place run by truly special people.

DJ Buono & DJ Tavo & crew were absolutely incredible!! As a news reporter, I can appreciate producing a SHOW and that is exactly what they put on! This was SO much MORE than a great wedding!! From the first phone call, DJ Tavo's excitement and attention to detail was top tier. DJ Buono helped sculpt our ENTIRE reception & even gave us the idea to have dinner become more of a performance with our violinist. They immediately welcomed her into the mix and it made for the BEST time!! You would have thought she worked with them nightly. This was an elegant night out in Boston meets IBIZA!! We could barely sit still to eat because we were all dancing in our seats!! I have never seen guests rush the dance floor like this. (& I've once been to 13 weddings in a single year) To the point, we had to tell some of them to sit down so we could do parent dances!! People literally could not wait to start dancing/celebrating!! We cannot believe this was our WEDDING!!! & it wouldn't have been the same without Black Diamond Event Production! People are still messaging us to say this was the best wedding they've ever been to! Not only is this team so talented that it is almost out of this world, they are also good people. People you'd want sitting at your table, people you'd want in your corner, and people you will want to keep in touch with forever. DJ Tavo sent us our dinner and reception mixes as they played the night of our wedding almost immediately. Which means we can keep reliving this night!! It was such a sweet surprise. We will never forget this & will be recommending them to all of our friends and family. We will scream it from the top of Boston's Prudential Center (where our reception was) if we have to! Not to mention, this was the FIRST ever full wedding reception up there (with this guest count) and they took on the challenge with EASE!! Book Black Diamond Event Production!! You won't regret it!!! PS: for the brides (like me) who fear a cheesy "prom" wedding, THIS IS YOUR TEAM!!! because they bring the CLASSIEST vibes and truly care about YOUR vision!! Pictures by: Dampolo Photography

For over 30 years, DJ Denise LaCarubba | Vibeology IA has aligned with clients to create and present soundtracks for weddings, fashion shows, fundraisers, corporate, international and private events.

Awarded Best of Zola
Denise is amazing! During our DJ search for our wedding, my (now) husband and I came across Denise very early in our search. And I’m so happy that we did! Faced with the fact that we needed to find someone who would get (and keep) both of our dance-happy families on the dance floor, it was daunting to find the perfect fit for us and for the celebration to follow. We had to rely heavily on reviews to narrow down our search…but that only gets you so far when you want to feel the energy. In a leap of faith, we reached out to Denise. After that first meeting, we never looked back! It was easy to just spend time talking to Denise. She was our hype-lady from day one, working with our schedules from planning to the meticulous execution of the wedding day. She was patient with our indecisiveness on which instrumental version of our procession song we wanted (weeks of samples, back and forth, and for us to ultimately pick the first version she shared). As a planner, I very much appreciated Denise’s attention to detail. She combed through every detail with us well beforehand, so that she didn’t have any questions the day of the wedding. I cannot recommend this Lady DJ enough! She helped make our day so special and effortlessly kept people on the dance floor until the lights came on.

Cookie cutter weddings are OUT, friends. Time for big feelings, small weddings and a celebration that’s uniquely yours.

For a couple planning a wedding, that kind of expertise and hand-holding is genuinely invaluable. On the day itself, we arrived to find everything already perfectly set up.

Maeghan was so helpful and patient with us not knowing what we were doing and changing our minds throughout the planning phases. When I had questions I could always count on her getting back to me within a day, often the same day. The staff that were on site the day of the wedding were phenomenal; professional, kind, and EFFICIENT. I didn't get a chance to interact with them too much as I was losing my mind most of the day. We arrived late to the venue and they were already there; had tidied up the things we'd left out from setup the night before and were setting tables for us. They kept things running smoothly the whole day and went well beyond what I expected for clean up. I was too wound up and anxious to eat at all, but the guests all said the food was excellent. The only complaint I have is that clean-up may have been TOO efficient, we had to go hunting for boxes afterwards! :)

My name is Melinda, and I’m the DJ of MadLove. My love for music started as a kid, heavily influenced by my older sister, which led to my deep appreciation for ‘90s and early 2000s R&B. Over time, my passion grew, and through my experience in the wedding industry, I’ve expanded my music library to cater to all genres. Transitioning from the nightclub scene to weddings was a complete 180, but the warmth and love we received from the wedding community made me stay.

Madalene and Melinda were amazing to work with. As a Cambodian-American bride, with a strong identity to both cultures, I was having a hard time finding someone who could capture the essence of what it’s like to grow up and listen to Khmer music and mainstream American music and have all your memorable experiences be shaped by that. I am so so grateful I found Madlove and that they were able to deliver exactly what I wanted and recreate that nostalgia, but also they paid attention to the crowd and what they were feeling. Our wedding day was the best day ever and they made our reception time even more memorable. All of our friends and family were getting down to the Khmer music and it made me so proud! I loved seeing all of our friends embrace our fun dances like Madizone and Romvong. Highly recommend these amazing people to make your special day the best it can be!

I had the honor of working with Rabbi Noyo at a wedding last month and she was an absolutely joy to work with! She is professional, sweet, and eager to go above and beyond. She was particularly excellent at facilitating the signing of the Ketubah and made every moment feel extra special. Rabbi Noyo would make an excellent addition to any wedding day and we cannot recommend her enough!

Johanna was so helpful and communicative from the very beginning of the process. She made me feel comfortable and listened to my wedding makeup inspiration. We completed a trial where we discussed options to help me prepare for the wedding day such as skincare, as well as discussing specific products we would use for the day of for makeup! Even though we did the trial months prior, Johanna was extremely prepared and remembered everything I had asked for the day of! Not only was my makeup something that guests still talk about till this day, but she brought great vibes to the morning of with all of the bridesmaids and provided me fun Instagram content!

Elation is defined as extreme, exhilarating joy, and the emotion of great happiness. I chose the name to reflect the high level of service provided and the satisfaction our clients experience. Music has been the center of my life for as long as I can remember. Over the last 20 years, I've performed at hundreds of weddings and private celebrations, held residencies at local bars and clubs, and livestreamed mixshows online. Every one of those experiences shapes how I show up for your wedding.

cannot recommend John from Elation Entertainment enough! From the very beginning, communication was outstanding. He was always quick to respond, organized, professional, and made the entire planning process feel so easy. He took the time to understand exactly what we wanted and made us feel completely confident going into our wedding day. On the day of the wedding, he absolutely exceeded every expectation. The dance floor was packed ALL. NIGHT. LONG. Our guests are still talking about how much fun they had and how amazing the music was! He read the crowd perfectly, kept the energy high, and played the perfect mix of songs that had everyone- from our youngest guests to our older guests- dancing! Beyond being incredibly talented, he is genuinely one of the kindest people you’ll work with. He was so friendly, accommodating, and truly cared about making our day unforgettable. If you’re looking for a DJ who is professional, easy to work with, and knows exactly how to throw an incredible party, look no further. We are so grateful for everything he did to make our wedding the best night of our lives. Thank you for an unforgettable celebration!

Julian was such a dream come true florist to work with. From the beginning Julian asked great questions to help us refine our vision, and always made us feel so comfortable, supported, and excited for the project together.
