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.

He planned out the entire evening so we could get all the locations my wife wanted and helped guide us on posing so all of the photos came out great! He is easy to hangout with and made us feel very comfortable in front of the camera. We couldn’t recommend him more! Thank you Alex!

Communication with VMG Weddings was super relaxed and easy, they understood everything I wanted. We were blessed to have both Matt & Des capture our special night. The work they produced was incredible - they were so detail-oriented and worked tirelessly to bring my wedding day dreams to reality. They incorporated the beautiful cemetery on the property into my photos because they could tell it was something I would love. The photographers were also so helpful, fluffing my dress, checking my hair and makeup, and even bustling my dress multiple times throughout the night.

I'm Eleni. I've been photographing weddings and elopements for over 10 years, on digital and film. Somewhere along the way I stopped trying to run the day, and started watching it — I'm at my best when I can disappear into a day: catching the look you two give each other before anyone else notices, the quiet minute before the ceremony, the stuff you don't stage because you can't. Most of my life outside work is spent outdoors, and the days I love most tend to end up somewhere with a view worth the hike. If you're planning something that leaves room for all that, take a look at my full galleries at elenipphotography dot com.

We absolutely loved having Eleni as our wedding photographer! She was friendly, responsive, and so helpful for planning our photo timeline! Her editing style is beautiful and we have received so many compliments on both our photos and our guests interactions with her since our big day! Got our gallery back fast too!!

I'd say my photography style would be something along the lines of "lifestyle photography". [That means that posing you in silly ways that seem fake / awkward isn't really my jam.] I mean, unless that gets some snuggles & laughs. I'm ALLLL about that. I like to capture REAL life with REAL emotions and REAL smiles. Your session should be relaxed and fun. [All while I get some kick-ass photos!] I will most likely make a giant fool of myself at your session, so you'll feel like a professional. I sing, trip, laugh, make noises, mention inappropriate things, show my nerdiness. AKA YOU'RE GOING TO DO JUST FINE.

Hiring April and Jordan as our wedding photographers was one of the best decisions we made for our entire celebration. From the very beginning, April communicated with such care and consistency—checking in, asking thoughtful questions, and making sure every single wish we had was understood and honored. I always felt supported, heard, and genuinely excited after every conversation. When our wedding day arrived—the greatest day of my life—I truly believe their charisma, warmth, and attention to detail played a huge role in making it feel so magical. They brought the perfect balance of fun and structure, and our families still talk about how incredible they were to work with. It felt like having two close friends guiding us through the day, cheering us on, and capturing every moment with intention. And the photos… wow. April sent us a sneak preview within 24 hours, and my jaw was on the floor. Every image was stunning—full of emotion, beauty, and authenticity. Our full album arrived so quickly, and we loved *every single picture*. Their talent is undeniable, but it’s their heart and presence that make them truly exceptional. April and Jordan are now officially part of our family. They will be at every major life event from here on out, and we can’t wait to have them by our side to help us remember all the special moments still to come. If you’re considering them—don’t hesitate. They are an absolute must.

Captured Company exceeded all of my expectations when it came to our wedding day and wedding photos! Not only did the photos come out amazing, but Rebecca was also the best person to spend those quieter moments with before the wedding. She helped calm so many of my nerves and made me feel comfortable throughout the day. She was incredibly organized and had all of the family and bridal party photo lineups ready to go, which made that part of the day move smoothly and efficiently. It allowed us to spend less time coordinating photos and more time enjoying our wedding.

Hi, I’m Julie! I’ve been photographing weddings for about ten years now (holy cow, do I feel old!), starting with photographing friends' weddings and quickly falling in love with the work. While I adore capturing gorgeous portraits of the bride and groom and the quiet (and sometimes chaotic!), beautiful moments during a wedding/elopement/engagement session, those ridiculous candid moments (like when a stranger offers you a fry on the boardwalk during your bridesmaid photos) truly make your day uniquely yours. I'd absolutely describe my style as a mixture of classic, artistic and photojournalism, but my heart lies in capturing candid moments.

Awarded Best of Zola
Julie did an amazing job shooting our small elopement ceremony at Fort Williams Park. From the very first moment she made us feel comfortable and gave us some really helpful prompts. We had access to all of our edited photos within 48 hours and they truly are better than we ever could have imagined. We will treasure these photos for years to come.

Sarah is an amazing photographer. I looked at probably a dozen other photographers for our wedding, but my fiancé and I were both super impressed with Sarah’s work and affordability.

I’ve been making pictures since I was 12. My parents gave me an ancient 35mm Konica Autoreflex camera, told me to get after it, and the rest, as they say, is history. My role as a photographer is to capture the rare, vulnerable, epic, extraordinary, and wonderfully ordinary moments of life, as well as the beautiful details in between. I strive to make images that come from the heart and will tell your story for years to come. Also, I might cry at your wedding. It happens.

Awarded Best of Zola
Johanna Sorrell was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding. We were so lucky to be connected with Jo so early on in our planning process. The best advice we got was to pick a photographer we felt connected to since we would be spending by far the most amount of time with them on our wedding day. I didn't want my wedding to feel like a photoshoot. Once the ceremony was over I just wanted to enjoy myself. She really honored that request. Jo was so invested in our wedding. From our very first interaction, Johanna was efficient, attentive, and timely in communication, often providing long and thoughtful responses to our many questions. We chatted on the phone, had zoom calls, and met in person prior to the big day. She really wanted to make sure she understood our vision. We were lucky enough to get to do our engagement photos last summer with Jo. When I say she was lying in the middle of the street while we were driving at her on a vespa.. I mean it. See photos below. She will do anything for the shot. We wanted our photos to be extremely vibrant which as you can tell she clearly captured! She can also really organize the obnoxious family members and tell them where and how to be. Her work was incredibly thorough, and she was able to capture all the special moments of our day quickly and seamlessly. We got a sneak peak back within days of the wedding! We got all the photos back within weeks which shocked us! She is such a hard worker. Johanna truly made us feel so calm and seen on our wedding day - we now consider her a dear friend. The value and quality of her services far exceeded our expectations, and we cannot recommend her highly enough.

My love of photography began a decade ago when I was introduced to film development in my high school's dark room. I went on to further my education in college where I majored in fine art photography. I find that in my free time, I am hiking with my other half, Jameson, and our two lovely dogs! There are so many ways for me to connect to the world, whether through nature, furry friends, or a good meal I am happy to be sharing it with someone. I'm excited to get to share my passion with the world through Little Redd Photography.

From start to finish, Danielle has been a fantastic person to work with! During our initial call I think we talked for 40 minutes just gabbing like old friends which instantly put me at ease. Her portfolio is gorgeous and editing style is exactly what we were looking for. She helped us with our timeline and was able to be flexible on short notice when I realized a week out that I had not counted our hours of coverage correctly. She captured all of our must haves and even conspired with our DJ to create a surprise for the groom totally unprompted. We had our preview in a matter of days and I was astounded that we had that many photos in one preview. Now that we have the whole gallery we’re struggling to choose which ones to print because they’re all so good. I’m posting one of my favorites because it’s a work of art and I’m in awe that this is my wedding photo!

I'm a 25-year-old photographer with a passion for capturing life's most memorable moments. I'm a wife, avid crafter, and proud dog-mom. With over 7 years of experience behind the lens, I feel truly honored to document the best moments of my clients' lives, allowing them to look back on these cherished memories for years to come. I had the privilege of studying photography at NHIA, where I was accepted with a scholarship. During my three years there, I immersed myself in the world of film and digital photography, working both in the studio and in nature.

My fiance and I had the opportunity to do our engagement shoot with Julia and we could not be happier with the experience and the results! Before the shoot, we were able to communicate easily with her over text and send ideas to her that she did her best to incorporate into the shoot. I was initially nervous because it was the first time we were taking official photos for the wedding and being in front of the camera is not something I’m very used to. From the minute we met up for the shoot, Julia’s presence and energy immediately put me at ease. She is bubbly, funny and fantastic at giving direction without actually posing you so it just felt like we were on a date and having fun. The pictures she captured truly portray the nature of our relationship as a couple and were exactly what we were envisioning! I cannot recommend her services enough, it was an absolute pleasure to work with her and I look forward to printing the pictures for our home!

No cookie-cutter poses. Just your story—unfiltered and unforgettable.

Val Bozzi Photography was an absolute delight to work with for our wedding day. From our first interaction, she was quick to respond, personable, and easy to communicate with, putting us at ease right away. Their photography style is emotional, fun, goofy, and completely natural - they captured all the special moments and little details that made our day so unique and memorable. We tend to be goody awkward people and told Val to give us some directions so weren't so awkward in pictures and she did the perfect job of giving us small cues but let us be "us." Which resulted in the most stunning, authentic photos that we'll cherish forever. We can't recommend Val Bozzi Photography highly enough!

Working with Jamie and Eddie of Magic Arrow Photography was an absolute dream. We knew we wanted a documentary-style approach—something cinematic, emotional, and honest—and we could not have imagined a more perfect team. Their artistic styles complement each other beautifully, and because they shoot both film and digital, the final gallery feels rich, textured, and timeless. From the start, their energy was exactly what we hoped for. We met in person for our engagement shoot over the summer, which put us completely at ease. Chris usually takes time to warm up in front of a camera, but Jamie and Eddie have such a natural, calm, friendly way of working that by the time the wedding arrived, it felt like we were spending the weekend with old friends. Some of our favorite images aren’t even the big posed moments—they’re the tiny, quiet ones we didn’t even know were happening. They captured emotion, movement, humor, and atmosphere in a way that feels authentic to who we are as a couple. Their instincts are incredibly sharp—they know exactly when to step in and help create a scene, and when to disappear into the background and let real moments unfold. They were wonderful collaborators alongside our videographer and every other vendor. And even though they are based in Maine, they were thrilled to travel to Brooklyn for our wedding, which made the day that much more special. We now have a gallery of photos we will cherish for the rest of our lives—and, unexpectedly, two new friends in Maine. If you want photographers who are wildly talented, emotionally intelligent, kind, and creative—hire Magic Arrow. We feel incredibly lucky that we did.
