Wedding planning is stressful. If Sarah fits in your budget, hire her!!! As I reflect on our wedding day, I'm just blown away at how perfectly smooth everything went - in large part due to Sarah. We hired Sarah for partial planning services. Her knowledge of the wedding industry and the strong relationships she has with vendors made the entire planning process so much easier. She had great recommendations and was able to answer our questions to put our minds at ease. She has an amazing eye for design; she took what we had in our heads and made it a reality. On the wedding day, she handled everything seamlessly behind the scenes along with her assistant, Gigi. She brought a sense of calm and confidence throughout the planning process and into the day itself. On top of that, she also sent us a collection of pictures and video clips she had captured the very next morning, which was such a special surprise and fun way to relive the day!

Where to even begin!!! My husband and I came across Champagne Casanova while out at a bar in Portland, Maine and had the most fantastic night ever jamming out with them. Without even being engaged yet, I asked them for their business card because we thought they'd be fabulous as a wedding band! Years later when we got engaged, they were our first and only call when we were looking for music for our wedding. They happily agreed to join us all the way out in the western New York farm country for our wedding, and put on an incredible show. Our guests were blown away by their energy, attitude and talent!! They were interactive with the crowd, did so many great songs and even joined us in a DJ capacity for our after-party. They were incredibly easy to work with, responsive and flexible with all our requests. We love Champagne Casanova and hope to see them soon out in Maine!

Portland, ME
  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $5,000

Natural, documentary, photojournalistic. Real, raw, candid. We’re not going for any stiff prom poses here. I like to capture the day as it is and to document it as it unfolds. I never want to force anything, but I step in and direct where needed. Being in front of the camera isn’t my favorite thing either. I will be here to guide you and prompt you the whole way, I promise.

My wife and I hired Jenna to take our engagement celebration photos and the photos for our wedding day. We had reviewed several local photography professionals and spoke with a few through video conferencing, in an effort to find the right match. Jenna was the clear match, from the moment we jumped on a zoom call! Her mission from the jump was to hear out our vision and work, within her own style, to meet the goals we established! She asked questions throughout our initial call to help us understand some of the answers to questions we hadn't even asked ourselves yet (this was invaluable)! And we jumped off the call with a level of confidence that made the decision very easy. During our engagement photos, Jenna was matching our excitement and did an amazing job positioning us/promting some helpful poses to help us get the beautiful shots we were looking for! And on the wedding day....... Jenna balanced a level of command, patience, understanding and high expectations that made the day flow so easily. We couldn't be happier with the results - I couldn't recommend her services more. P.S. we had a bridesmaid who had a dress malfunction after the ceremony and was holding us up from moving onto the reception's cocktail hour... Jenna saved the day with a sewing kit that she just happened to have on her person (still can't explain why she didn't charge extra for this save-the-day moment)!

We worked with Tiny Laser for our wedding, choosing the 30-days out coordination option. Julianne helped us cross all the Ts as we approached the day. We had a general sense of how we wanted everything to go, but she asked us all the right questions, offering details we hadn't thought of. The result was a perfectly smooth wedding. If there were hiccups, we didn't know about them! Julianne and Jose went above and beyond from the rehearsal dinner on, helping to set up our linens, and figuring out how we'd get down the aisle. At the wedding, Julianne checked in on us throughout, making sure we ate, and got sweaters when it got cooler. She was considerate, polite, and calm. We so appreciate all the work Tiny Laser put in to make our day!

I grew up as a young cousin in a big extended family, and gatherings were always a lively affair. I learned that my favorite part the season was watching my family bond over stories (loudly). Picking up a camera let me bottle those moments for other families, whatever yours looks & sounds like. When I archived my grandfather's photographs (let me know if you want to see a video), and it reinforced how photographs can bring you the emotions the camera captured. So I view weddings as a time to lean in to those emotions; in the days and years ahead, in the good times and the bad, we all deserve touchstones that take us back to our best moments.

Our first kiss was on the beach, under a star-filled sky, on my favorite island, only home to shells, bioluminescent creatures, and wild horses. Soon after, as two very young humans (21 and 23), we were married. As newlyweds we set off on an adventure, kayaking from Maine to Key West. On that trip, we realized how much we valued spending all our time together and being in charge of our schedule. This business is how we live out that dream.

Bethany and Dan did such a wonderful job photographing our wedding. They have a distinct and unique style that really shined through when we were on the hunt for a photographer, and it translated beautifully to our photos. They were incredibly easy to work with leading up to and on the big day and very organized. We are BEYOND pleased with the results of both the portraits and more creative shots. Also, the dance floor content they captured was spectacular and got rave reviews from our guests. Highly recommend them!! Thank you Bethany & Dan!

  • Photographer
  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $5,000

Savage Wedding Co. is for couples who want their wedding to feel like themselves — not a performance, not a production, and not something they have to manage all day. I work with a balance of structure and flexibility: enough direction to keep things moving, and enough space for moments to unfold without forcing them. I don’t chase perfection or try to smooth out every edge. Some moments are quiet. Some are awkward. Some don’t fit neatly into a highlight reel — and that’s usually where the honest stuff lives. I don’t rush past those moments or reshape them to look like something else. I let things be.

From start to finish, Magnus was so great to work with! He was super communicative, and was incredibly flexible when we needed to move our engagement photo date. He worked with harsh beach sunlight (and was only a couple days post-op on a leg procedure) and delivered our photos super fast! We hired him to be the photographer and DJ for our March wedding and the process was very smooth. He asked lots of questions about our preferences, helped us nail down a day-of timeline, and kept us relaxed! On our wedding day, he kept things moving and suggested some really cool photos to take that have ended up being some of our favorites! The music was also INCREDIBLE - he played nearly all of our requested songs and I didn't stop dancing all night! The guests raved about him, his second photographer (Hi, Jordan!!) and the music. Thank you for making our wedding day so memorable - we got the sneak peek photos back within 24 hours and we can't wait to see the rest!!

Savage Wedding Co. is for couples who don’t want a wedding rooted in tradition or a DJ who plays it safe. If you live somewhere between EDM, metal, or punk and want energy that actually builds through the night, this will make sense to you. You don’t need to edit yourself to fit a predetermined idea of how a wedding is supposed to sound. If you want to headbang, rave, or sing at the top of your lungs, there’s room for that here. The focus is momentum and feel. Not checking boxes.

Awarded Best of Zola
When we were booking vendors, I wanted wedding professionals. I wanted people who knew the industry inside and out because we were DIY-ing our wedding and without a planner. When you book someone for your wedding, youre not just booking their service- youre booking their industry knowledge and Magnus has a LOT of knowledge and such a big heart. My example of this is within 4 hours of submitting an initial inquiry, we had an email with a scheduled time to call to chat about his services and our wedding plans to see if they matched. What really got our hearts though was before we agreed to work together, he helped me fine tune the schedule I had in my head for the wedding day. He helped us with our timeline not because he was trying to “sell” us on him, and he didnt say “if we work together I’ll help you with the timeline” which would have been perfect acceptable. He helped me because he cares about weddings and wanted to make sure regardless of who we went with for a DJ that we had a good foundation. After that call, I told Collin I wanted Magnus on our wedding team and we didnt need to even consider anyone else and let me tell you - that was one of the best decisions we made. Throughout the process he gave great ideas based on his experience not only for the party (DO THE 10-15 MINUTE DANCE PARTY!!!) but on other aspects of our wedding as well. You’re not just working with an “oh you got a *DJ* DJ!!”as my friend so excitedly said after the music started, you’re working with a professional big hearted person with years of experience who is here to help you have the best time. Our day was truly the best and Magnus was a huge part of that. Once the music started, our dance floor was packed and stayed packed to the bitter end! I will absolutely recommend him to everyone and we are still hearing about how great the music and vibes were. Pics for vibes *insert stars emoji since zola wont allow emojis*

Working with this videographer was an absolute standout experience. His eye for cinematic storytelling is next level. He didn’t just capture moments, he elevated them. Every frame was intentional, every cut had purpose, and the final film felt like something you’d see on the big screen, not just in a wedding album. What impressed me most was his ability to blend artistry with authenticity. From the emotional pacing to the way he used natural light, he brought the energy of the day to life without ever feeling staged or forced. As a DJ who works with a lot of creatives, I can confidently say his talent is rare. If you’re looking for someone who will go beyond documenting your wedding and actually craft a film that feels deeply personal and visually stunning, you’ve found your guy.

Hey! I'm Aimee, a film photographer based in Portland, Maine. I work primarily with film as a way of slowing down and paying attention. Film shapes my approach — intuitive and intentional — creating space for imperfection, inspiration and play. My work is grounded in documentation rather than direction. I follow what’s unfolding, offering gentle guidance only when needed, allowing the day to flow naturally.

Aimee was the best to work with! We had a "non-traditional" wedding outside on a beautiful property that we wanted to take advantage of on our day. We had our ceremony under a beautiful maple tree and an extended cocktail hour on the lawn. Aimee was able to capture quiet, sweet moments and also get the "big shots" that every couple wants. But each photo feels so special and unique, all being shot on film. It has it's own raw quality that makes the photos feel like a relic. I can't wait to get them printed and framed!

More than anything we could have ever dreamed of - she and Emily #2 (2nd shooter) are so talented and amazing at what they do, it's just incredible. I never thought that we could have such beautiful photos of us as a couple and our wedding day - they tell the story of us, our relationship, and our beautiful wedding through photography.

On September 21st, 2024 my husband and I got married at Maine Studio Works with 143 guests. We got ready in “studio A” then had our ceremony, dinner and reception in ”studio B”. I don’t even know where to start with how amazing this venue was for our wedding. Great location with a blank canvas that allows you to make the space your own! The best part about using this venue for our wedding was working with the owners, Nora and Zack. Weddings can be stressful and overwhelming but Nora and Zack made it such a fun and positive experience. They went above and beyond as venue owners. They are both easy going, attentive, professional, accommodating and most of all creative when it came to helping us execute our vision in their space. Our favorite things about the space included; having studio A to get ready in, walking out of the big sliding door towards the aisle, having the garage door which opened up to outdoor space, and the tall ceilings which helped the room feel big and not too loud. Our guests were in love with the venue. To this day our guests comment on how cool the space was to get married in and how we were so lucky to work with such a great team. Nora and Zack are two of the most down to earth people I’ve ever met and highly recommend using their space for your next event!

We’re Caroline and Nermin, the husband-and-wife team behind Caroline Captures Media. Our story began in Bar Harbor, where we first met while working along the coast. It didn’t take long for Maine’s landscapes, communities, and coastal beauty to become a place we deeply connected with and eventually came to call home. Nermin grew up in Montenegro along the Adriatic Sea, so Maine’s rugged shoreline and maritime culture felt immediately familiar. Our shared connection to coastal places and the outdoors has shaped not only our lives, but also the way we see and document weddings.

We loved having Caroline and Nermin as our photographers. They took both our engagement and wedding photos. Caroline and Nermin were great with any questions we had. They broke down the timeline for the wedding in a way that made us feel confident going into the day. They also gave us a sneak peak of the wedding pictures by the time we were eating breakfast the next day! The pictures are beautiful and we'll forever treasure all of the special moments they captured.

We had our rehearsal dinner and welcome drinks at Bissell Brothers because it's one of our favorite breweries in the Portlamd area! Niko helped us out to plan our event and we ended up doing a casual dinner and drinks on the mezzanine. The night was perfect, and of course the beer was excellent! They also have a wide selection of non-beer options so everyone can find something they like. Highly recommend!
