We originally worked with Johnny for our engagement photos, and those turned out beautifully. Engagement sessions are included in the wedding package, and we were excited to have him photograph our wedding. Unfortunately, Johnny had to cancel just two days before our wedding due to a family emergency. While we understand emergencies happen, we wish he had informed us sooner, as we would have tried to find another photographer in advance. Johnny mentioned that he had been canceling on other couples over the previous weeks. He provided a replacement photographer Julee, but our experience with her was extremely disappointing. Many key moments were missed, including our first kiss, and the group photos were poorly composed some with light bulbs in our faces. Several images were blurry, dark, or had strange color lines, as if taken on a phone. Guests even commented that she seemed to be standing around rather than actively photographing the day. Overall, very few of the photos were usable, and the moments we wanted to remember were lost. When we expressed our disappointment to Johnny, communication was slow and inconsistent. He initially offered edits, which he provided after some delay, but even with his editing, the photos were still not satisfactory, and we had to do additional edits ourselves. The only usable photos we have are those taken by our guests. Johnny did eventually issue a full refund, though it took 5-6 weeks to receive it. While his engagement photos were excellent, our wedding experience was extremely disappointing and stressful due to the last-minute cancellation and the poor quality of the replacement photographer.

If you are looking for a photographer who is not only talented but also feels like a lifelong friend look no further! On top of Rayleen being an amazing photographer, she is a gem of a human and a genuinely nice person! I have had the privilege of working with Rayleen for the past two years! She took our engagement photos, our wedding and I even did a boudoir shoot with her! She surpassed our expectations each time we worked with her! She is very responsive, easy to get in touch with, always willing to chat and answer my endless questions. She listened to my idea list for photo shots, respected the photos that were on my must list which included a lot of big family shots and she also has an incredible eye which I trusted and gave her creative liberty! I am in love with how the pictures came out, they are exactly what I wanted and had in mind! I also love her editing style, the bright true to color, and classic style are just perfect in my opinion! We got lots of photos in our gallery and I love them all! I just wish we had more time and could’ve taken even more photos because of how good they came out! Lastly, if you are thinking about doing a boudoir shoot, I recommend Rayleen! She made me feel so comfortable and I had so much fun doing the photoshoot with her and the photos are equally as amazing!! She has different options for packages which is great and so helpful to fit any budget!

We got married at the Publick House in Sturbridge, MA in June 2024, and we had such a great experience! The place is made up of a few buildings- my (now) husband was getting ready in one building and I in another. Tony was great with communication; he kept me posted about when he was on his way, when he got to my husband's room, and when he was coming to my room. He was also quick to send sneak peak pics! We told him we didn't like posed pictures, we only wanted a few with our family and wedding party, and then to take the rest of us just being us. The pictures were great! We got the posed photos we wanted, and he was great about my idea of the wedding party being chased by a blow-up dinosaur (seriously)! The rest of the photos were wonderful, just all of us having a good time; he captured them so well! He was very professional and he made the time doing the posed pictures fun. I would DEFINITELY recommend Tony for your event!

  • Serves Amherst, MA

Hi, I'm Danny! My passion is to capture couples & their love story in a timeless way. I like to describe my style as a fusion between story-telling & editorial. I lean into true-to-life colors with a warm ambience and posing that's timeless but also interwoven with an editorial flare that's unique, artistic, and stylish. I also love incorporating story-telling stills that involve movement rather than a bunch of photos that feel "stiff" or overly posed. Story-telling moments bring wedding galleries life! I’d love the opportunity to connect with you, and hear more about your wedding vision!!

Danny was not only extremely kind, thoughtful, fun, energetic, and easy to work with, but the photos he captured of our wedding day are so very stunning. He was flexible with us from start to finish, and was like a breath of fresh air as a vendor in our wedding planning process. Would absolutely recommend 10/10!

Photography is my passion. As a third generation photographer, it's in my blood! My grandfather opened a photography studio in Chicopee during the 1940's. Growing up, I spent hours looking at family photos, studying the faces of friends and loved ones. I read the hand written notes on the back of the pictures and I was taken back to the exact moment the photograph was taken. Even if the picture was snapped long before my birth, I could feel the emotion from that time. Photographs were and continue to be an absolute treasure in my household.

Awarded Best of Zola
We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer than Danielle. She had great communication leading up to the day and created a detailed itinerary. She was enthusiastic and so helpful from the moment she arrived through the 8 hours she stayed with us. She captured everything and more with such beauty. She gave us space as a couple while still photographing every portrait and moment we wanted and also got beautiful candids we will always cherish. We definitely recommend and will book her again for all future events.

Your head photographer will always be me, Steph! You can call me Steph or Stephanie, I honestly like both which is why you will see the two interchanged often across my platforms and emails. I am a born and raised New Englander from Western Mass. and a wash-ashore currently living on Cape Cod. My favorite part about living here is the community of local artists and small businesses. We make up the heart and soul of the Cape and it is such a unique feeling to be a part of it.

Steph is amazing! I was overly stressed and had a lot of back and forth with postponing my wedding due to Covid twice and then finding a new photographer after a few issues with our previous one. Then a good friend referred me to Steph. She was so kind and helpful from day one. She was there to answer all my questions, no matter how many there were, leading up to the wedding. The day of, she was so patient with me and was able to keep the bridal party moving along and get pictures done so quickly so we could enjoy the party. The pictures came out better than we could have hoped for .. and we got them back SO fast. Plus they came in a beautiful keepsake box. Trust me, you want to use her for all your special occasions!

Matthew was a FANTASTIC addition to our wedding vendor team. His calm, accommodating, and warm demeanor put us at ease from the very moment we met with him. He gave lovely suggestions without being pushy, and was comfortable with our specific requests, even when they were a bit outside the box. He maintained a low profile throughout our wedding day, while also checking in with us for key decision moments. Not to mention, all the photos both staged and candid came out PHENOMENAL! We’ll have to wait a while before there’s a good reason to hire him again, but when it comes we’ll do so in a heartbeat. Thank you Matthew, for everything!!!

Couples deserve someone as excited about their day as they are, working alongside them to capture the essence of every detail so tirelessly prepared, and every joy filled aspect of their wedding. As a part of your wedding, we will make it a priority to review your timeline ahead of time, and make day of questions much less due to good communication and organization beforehand.

Such down to earth people who are able to catch the little things that mean a lot. I am so glad that we trusted them to photograph our wedding because they made sure that what we got back was more than we could have ever expected. They made all of our family feel comfortable while taking the photos and we weren’t worried that they had missed any. The way they give you your photos organized on the flash drive helped a lot too, by keeping things in categories for us so we were able to make an album without any trouble. We highly recommend them to everyone we know, and have even had family interested in hiring them after spending time with them at our wedding

Trish Kemp Photography 

5.0

  • Starts at $3,500
  • Serves Amherst, MA

I fell in love with photography when I was 17 years old. Since then I've been on an amazing journey which lead me through art school, and graduate school majoring in Fine Art Photography. I learned the bulk of my wedding skills by shadowing a local wedding photographer for 6 years before photographing my own weddings in 2005. I've made it my life's work to be a wedding photographer and instructor, sharing my knowledge of my craft with my students and those who are eager to learn.

Trish was our dream wedding photographer for so many reasons. Let us start by saying if you are considering Trish, hire her. Trish and her second, Kyle, helped to make our entire wedding planning process and wedding day pure perfection. And we mean that. We don’t know what we would have done without Trish. To start, Trish runs her photography business in a way we greatly respected. She was so easy to communicate with. She immediately helped us to feel comfortable during our first consultation. She listened to our vision, suggested ideas she had that aligned with it, and put any nerves we had to rest immediately. It was instantly clear that Trish was the definition of professional. She was organized, honest, and prompt in her communication. During our final consultation right before the wedding, she helped us to organize our shot list, confirmed our vision again, and never made us feel rushed despite our myriad questions. To top it off, she was able to suggest some of our other wedding vendors such as our officiant, Sal Fiore, and our videographer, Embark Films. All of her suggestions were perfect for us. Having suggestions from someone who has seen these professionals at work was a huge reassurance for us, and they all delivered greatly on our big day. But even more than Trish’s professionalism on the business side of things, she is a top tier artist. The way she captures moments, lighting, etc, is pure perfection. After our photos from our engagement session with her were delivered, we were honestly in awe. She captured our emotions beautifully. The engagement session was so much fun, and it was a great way for us to “warm up” with getting to know Trish and getting comfortable with professional photography before our wedding day. Seeing her photos of us after that session put us at such ease. I am very type A and, quite frankly, tend to micromanage. But with Trish, I didn’t feel like I had to take on the stress of assembling a Pinterest board of dozens of “inspiration photos and poses” to send to her to recreate. We had complete faith that Trish was going to capture our wedding perfectly. She fully understood the assignment. She captured us beautifully in both our engagement photos and, of course, in our wedding photos, but she also captured the scenery around us flawlessly. We told her that we wanted a natural, organic look in our photos, and we wanted lots of movement. Our venue was absolutely stunning, but it did have lots of paved paths and homes surrounding it that I figured would be present in photos. However, you would never know that we weren’t in the middle of a remote field in New Zealand thanks to Trish and Kyle. She delivered beyond what we could have imagined. She tells a story with her photos, and it’s incredible. Not only is her work beautiful, but so is her personality. Your photographer is someone you are going to be experiencing some of the most emotional, intimate moments of your life in front of. They are going to be with you the majority of your day right along with your partner. Having Trish and Kyle there with us brought us so much comfort, laughter, and joy. Trish helped with everything from holding my lipstick in my bag to bustling my dress. She reassured me in moments of nervousness or insecurity, and hyped us up all day long. She holds a special place in our hearts, and we cannot recommend her highly enough.

I've had a camera in my hand as young as I can remember, took photography classes in high school and college where we still used a dark room to process and develop our images. I've spent the last 10 years building my business and I'm beyond grateful to call this my "job".

Jeffrey was the most wonderful wedding photographer we could have ever imagined. My husband and I were both nervous about being in front of the camera for our engagement shoot, but Jeffrey immediately put us at ease. His calm, friendly presence helped us relax and actually enjoy the experience, so much so that we went into our wedding day feeling confident and excited to work with him again. On the big day, Jeffrey’s experience and knowledge of our venue (Valley View Farm) made all the difference. Despite the rain, he was able to think on his feet and find creative, beautiful locations for our photos. The results were stunning and far exceeded our expectations. We also had the pleasure of working with Kelly Peterson as our second shooter, and she was absolutely phenomenal. Her upbeat energy, sense of humor, and eye for detail brought so much joy to the day and helped us feel completely at ease. We’re so grateful to Jeffrey and Kelly for capturing our wedding so beautifully. Choosing them was one of the best decisions we made during the planning process, and we truly couldn’t imagine our day without them.
