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. When I’m not taking photos, I am probably spending time with my wife and dog, creating some art or watching a good movie!

“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!”

“Johnny was absolutely wonderful to have as part of our wedding day. From the moment he arrived (early, of course), he brought such a calm, steady energy that instantly made both my husband and me feel comfortable—which is saying something, because neither of us is particularly into posing for photos. The complimentary engagement shoot was such a smart and generous touch. It gave us a chance to loosen up, find our rhythm with him, and honestly made the wedding day feel that much smoother. He gave just the right amount of direction when we needed it—but the real magic was in the candid shots. He caught moments we didn’t even realize were happening, and now we get to relive them with full hearts and full clarity. Johnny didn’t just take pictures. He helped. He quietly supported so many little things that weren’t even his job—and did it all with this clear passion and grounded presence that made him feel like a friend, not just a vendor. If you’re looking for someone who truly sees the day—who captures the energy, the in-between moments, the real stuff—hire Johnny. Don’t wait. He’s the one.”

Hi, I'm Cristiane! I'm the photographer behind Cristiane Dugan Studio, and I'm all about capturing the moments that make your wedding feel uniquely you. I believe the best photos happen when you're fully present—laughing, crying, dancing, and celebrating with the people you love most. I'll guide you when you need it, step back when the moments unfold naturally, and make sure you feel comfortable in front of the camera every step of the way. If you're looking for timeless, true-to-color images with a relaxed and fun experience, I'd love to celebrate with you!

“Cristiane was amazing! She made us feel so comfortable from the moment we met her, and taking photos felt fun and natural. When we got our gallery, we were honestly blown away. She captured all the big moments and so many little ones we didn't even realize were happening. Every photo feels timeless and brings us right back to our wedding day. We couldn't be happier and would recommend her to anyone!”

“We booked George to capture our wedding day at an outdoor venue in northern MA. As a photographer myself I have high standards when it comes to photos, so I was very selective when making my choice. But I'm happy to report that we made a great choice with George as his work is top notch. Before the wedding we had 2 phone calls to plan out the many scenes we'd want him to capture. We also shared some light guidance on editing style, which he happily incorporated. On the day of the wedding George arrived promptly (early even, which was good) despite the fact he was driving many hours from CT. George did a great job making people feel comfortable in front of the camera. He seemed very experienced as throughout the day he seamlessly transitioned from the foreground to the background as needed. He was never in the way, but always nearby and ready to jump in and capture whatever was happening. He also captured a variety of types of shots, from the wide, establishing shots to the perfectly composed closeups of intimate moments - with lots of extra detail shots and plenty of candids too. For the ceremony in particular, he displayed his great eye and quick reaction time to document every moment and every angle, including crowd reactions. He came well prepared too with 2 Sony mirrorless cameras and a large off-camera flash to ensure even lighting. From our 8-hour shoot he provided over 1,400 fully edited photos (each 61MP) via a Google Drive download link. We were extremely please with the quality and speed of our portfolio (fully delivered within 2 weeks). On top of that, George happily provided me with the full edited portfolio in TIFF file format, per my request. The file sizes are much larger so I gave him a 512GB USB drive which he loaded and shipped back to me. I really can't say enough good things about George. So just book him now and I know you'll be pleased with the results!”

·Ratings include Zola and Google reviews
Sturbridge, MA
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,200

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.”

Some random facts about me: - I have five of the sweetest kids. - I got married during the pandemic to my best friend, we had to cancel our epic destination wedding and had a small microwedding in the mountains of New Hampshire. 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 captured our wedding day so perfectly. From the detail photos, to the party and everything in between- she was amazing. I have a huge family and somehow Brooke managed to efficiently take all of our family photos and wedding party photos during the cocktail hour without delays. Brooke’s photos are timeless, stunning and she manages to maintain a very natural look. She works quickly and is very organized. All in all, Brooke was exactly what we needed to capture our special day.”

I am a storyteller. As an award-winning playwright, screenwriter, and actress/director, I am comfortable on and off the stage and passionate about telling captivating, meaningful stories. For me, capturing your wedding day with my camera is a way of ensuring that your story lasts a lifetime.

“Kara is a treasure. Not only is she fun to work with and a delight to be around, she is a true professional and her work demonstrates this. Her dedication to her art is demonstrated in the shots she captures; she manages to capture people’s personalities in every shot. She personalized the shot list to make sure we got what was important to us, and her calming demeanor kept us from getting (more) stressed on The Big Day. I can’t recommend Kara enough.”

“We truly cannot say enough incredible things about Joe and Elin. From the very beginning, they were an absolute dream to work with. They were professional, organized, responsive, and so clearly passionate about what they do. I actually found Joe and Elin through a recommendation from our DJ, and then I was lucky enough to collaborate with them through my job. Getting to see them work with so many couples before my own big day was such a gift. I watched firsthand how they care for their clients, how seamlessly they run a wedding day, and how consistently they deliver beautiful, emotional galleries. By the time our wedding arrived, I already knew we were in the very best hands, and they still exceeded every expectation! Throughout the planning process, they made everything feel easy and seamless. They answered every question, helped us feel prepared, and brought such a calm, confident presence that immediately put us at ease. On the wedding day, that energy meant everything. They kept us on schedule without ever making us feel rushed and somehow managed to be everywhere at once while still being completely unobtrusive. Everyone in the wedding party absolutely LOVED them and has said over and over again what a wonderful job they did. But beyond their professionalism, what truly sets Joe and Elin apart is their heart. They genuinely cared about us, not just as clients, but as people. They captured the big, emotional moments so beautifully, but also the small, quiet in-between moments that we’ll cherish forever. Some of my favorite photos were just our real reactions and emotions in the moment, and I love that. Looking through our photos feels like reliving the entire day all over again. They went above and beyond in every way, and we are so incredibly grateful they were part of our wedding. If you’re looking for photographers who are talented, dependable, and deeply invested in telling your story... Joe and Elin are it!”

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.

“Ari is the most incredible photographer you will ever work with. Not only does she make the entire process clear and near effortless on the part of the planners, but she truly listens and makes sure to capture the moments you desire most. Whether that be candid shots capturing the moment through the eyes of your guests, or of your guest, or posed/group/headshots perfect for profile pictures or to hang up - she can do it all and with the most wonderful joyful energy. My partner and I felt so comfortable, and confident, in working with Ari knowing she was approaching our wedding with as much care and nerdy flair as we were - and it was the best decision we made. She is such a delight and we couldn't be happier with our pictures and the memories we can look back on.”

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.

“Where do we begin?! Kelly was the absolute best decision we made for our May 2024 wedding. From our first introductory call, Kelly’s passion for her craft was evident and she put us at ease straight away. She is incredibly organized and touched base with us multiple times before our big day, covering all the small details you wouldn't think of. Kelly’s preparation and guidance allowed us to have an incredible day! She is absolutely, positively lovely and we were so happy to have her as part of our wedding celebration. We live abroad and weren’t able to have an engagement session with her, but her friendly, calming personality made us feel comfortable and her prompts allowed us to have such lovely, natural photos. Her pictures truly captured us as we are. The follow up after the wedding has been just as great. Kelly is truly the best and we couldn’t recommend her more highly!”

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.

“My wife and I worked with Eli for our engagement and wedding photos. We spent a lot of time searching for the perfect photographer to capture everything - focusing on candid moments, emotions, relieving the awkwardness, and generally someone we could trust to use their own judgment and need little guidance throughout the day. Eli was exactly the right person for the job. We clicked right away, with an intro call where he answered all of our questions and joked around with us to relieve our anxiety. He looked up our venue and already started making suggestions for how he would shoot and edit everything. He worked out a unique package deal with us to fit our needs and budget - we wanted to shorten the engagement session and tack that time onto our wedding day. He drove over an hour after work (he’s a nurse!) to our town for the engagement session just to ensure we’d get the perfect sunset vibe. We had a blast and the photos turned out better than we could have imagined. When it came to the wedding day, he kept us in the loop and arrived perfectly on time, got himself set up and took control of the situation seamlessly. He meshed so well with our whole group and helped keep us on schedule while also sneaking away to capture detail shots we never would have thought of. We had given him a list of things we wanted and he reminded us of them throughout the night which was so helpful. He was overall extremely kind and professional, while also having an approachable, relaxed energy that eased our fears. It is clear that this is a passion project for Eli, as each photo came to us carefully edited with every special detail highlighted perfectly. We are just in awe of the gallery of over 1,000 photos from our wedding night. Many of the photos we did not even realize he was getting in the moment. The return time for photos was a bit on the longer side (just over 12 weeks) but this is WITHOUT A DOUBT well worth it. He kept us updated as we were waiting, and not to mention, he offered us some print credit to make up for the time! My wife and I agree that we couldn’t have picked a better photographer for our wedding, and these photos will be cherished forever. Sorry for the long review, but you need to know all the reasons why Eli is the guy to hire!”

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!”

Laura was amazing - she was so kind, easy going, and fun to work with throughout the entire wedding planning process. On the day of our wedding, she was incredibly knowledgeable and made the photography portion feel seamless and enjoyable. The final photos were absolutely beautiful - capturing the natural, artistic, and romantic moments of our special day in such a wonderful way. We are thrilled with the value and quality of her work, and would highly recommend Life in Pictures by Laura to any couple looking for an exceptional wedding photography experience.”

The Happy Couple Photography

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.

“We are now the second member of my family to use Happy Couple Photography. And six years on, they continue to do amazing work. They are attentive, responsive, and professional in communication and meet every deadline without prompting. We found their process and demeanor alleviated stress, and never added any. And on the day, they were detail-oriented and self-sufficient, able to work in the background calmly and yet somehow present at every key moment around the venue. It goes without saying, but we are so pleased with how the photos came out too. Happy Couple's particular knack for finding faces in their most joyful moment lets the full set immediately transport you back to the emotion of the day. I recommend them highly.”

At Life Through a Shutter Photography, our goal is to preserve memories and emotions that will last a lifetime. We approach our work with empathy, care and attention to detail, ensuring that each client has a personal and enjoyable experience. Sure, looks are important... I dig deeper than just what appears on the outside, I find those raw emotions and capture the connection in real time. What matters most when you look back at an image is being able to relive that emotion, what you felt in that exact moment, and hang on to that feeling. That's the real reason why photos last a lifetime and say a million words. Emotion!

“Alysha from Life Through a Shutter Photography made our wedding day feel effortless and perfect. She met with us in person before the big day to understand exactly what we wanted, and she stayed in touch every step of the way. Her photos were uploaded quick, were absolutely beautiful, and truly captured who we are as a couple. Beyond just taking pictures, Alysha helped us with planning/day of details and my sister said she felt like another best friend. She was such a light to our day! From our engagement session all the way through our wedding, we were thoroughly impressed with her work and energy. We cannot speak highly enough of her and recommend LTAS to anyone looking for a photographer who brings both fantastic pictures and a good vibe to your day.”

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.

“Tammy is my number one, favorite photographer to work with and the only person who can actually help me relax on a wedding day. I can trust her completely. I never need to worry about where she is, if she's getting the shot, or if she's shooting enough variety. She knows exactly what she's doing from extensive experience and she treats weddings with the same gravity as if it were her own day. Some of my favorite images of all time are just that due to Tammy's ability to read a room and complete the story. She continually brings new skills and her own innovation into every event, which I love to keep up with on her social media. Tammy gets so many compliments in part due to her skill and professionalism, but also because of the energy and perfectionism she will bring to your day. I can't say enough great things about having Tammy as a photographer.”

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.

“We have been using Stephanie for a few years for before our wedding just simple Christmas Pictures for cards. When it came to our wedding day we wanted the best and we did shop around just to see and compare Stephanie to others and NO ONE even came CLOSE to her. Stephanie offers ALL the services from engagement to wedding day and even boudoir! And the price of having all those services was so much more manageable than others we shopped for. Her pictures are high quality, she gives you sneak peaks within days, she is extremely easy to work with. She is always accommodating and understanding and extremely professional. I wouldn't recommend anyone else for your wedding day (or any day).”

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.”
