Tristen Bianca Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (12 reviews)
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,500
  • Serves Amherst, MA

Hi, I’m Tristen — a New England wedding photographer and filmmaker who knows that being in front of a camera can feel a little intimidating, and that your wedding day should never feel like a staged production. My couples often tell me their biggest hope is to stay present, soak in every moment, and not worry about what they look like or what they’re supposed to be doing. That’s where I come in. With calm guidance and a documentary approach, I create space for you to relax, be yourselves, and fully experience the day while I preserve it all with care.

Tristen was an absolute dream to work with! She is super detail oriented and incredibly kind. She had a detailed questionnaire and met with us a few weeks before the wedding to get to know us and go over the details. She helped us with our cake cutting when the day-of coordinator left us hanging. And she even laid down her own jacket for me to sit on to prevent my dress from getting dirty when we were taking pictures. When we sat down at our table for dinner we saw she had put a developed picture of our first kiss on it! My husband and I are both pretty introverted and camera shy but she made us feel so comfortable throughout the entire day. The photos are so beautiful and I couldn't be happier. I can't recommend her enough!

I'm a Massachusetts-based wedding photographer. My pronouns are She/Her. I'm just trying to make people feel comfortable in front of a camera. I use a mix of poses and prompts to create natural movement and emotion.

Kelsey was an amazing photographer. She went above and beyond on our wedding day. She was the most organized photographer I’ve ever seen, not missing a single shot that we wanted. She was so prepared and made it so I didn’t have to worry at all about the photos. She also got us our first look within days and our entire album within a month. we were so happy with how the photos came out, everyone compliments them and they are just so stunning. Such a wonderful job that my sister used her for her wedding two years later.

  • Serves Amherst, MA

Western MA based photojournalist and wedding photographer. Prior to coming home to Western Mass in 2010, I lived in Washington, DC. I spent 6 years as a member of the White House press corps . I was lucky enough to document a lot of historic events, including the election and inauguration of President Obama. My work has appeared in The New York Times, The Washington Post, and The Boston Globe.

Awarded Best of Zola
Hiring Matthew to capture my daughter's wedding was one of the single best decisions made for that day. He is thoughtful throughout the process, taking time to meet with my daughter and her fiancé and have them really think about what was important to them to capture during their special day, putting together a timeline to make the most of our time with Matthew, and then just seamlessly blending in with the day and capturing some of the most stunning photos. We were blown away! We had seen enough of his work to know we'd be pleased, but he exceeded all of our expectations. His level of professionalism is extraordinary.

Pix byJay 
Rating: 5.0 (5 reviews)
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,300
  • Serves Amherst, MA

Hi, my name is Juan, AKA Jay, I am a Western Massachusetts based photographer. I first began my interest in photography in grade school. While my teacher would conduct the class I would be interested in the images so I could make more of a connection. I was also dubbed the "family photographer" whenever there was a family function. I am more of a non-traditional photographer, meaning, I enjoy control candid photos vs traditional posing photos.

Awarded Best of Zola
My husband and I got married almost 7 months ago and the pictures for both our engagement session and our wedding were amazing. We loved working with Pix by Jay and would definitely use him again.

Jeffrey Rivkin Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (4 reviews)
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,750
  • Serves Amherst, MA

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 not only produces amazing photos, but is highly professional, kind, and easy-going. You spend a lot of time on your wedding day with your photographer, and Jeffrey is the calming, professional presence that you want with you! He somehow managed to capture our ceremony from seemingly every angle. He created creative, beautiful poses for us and also captured candids at the perfect moment. Our wedding venue manager, who worked with Jeffrey for the first time at our wedding, said (unprompted) that he was one of the most communicative and professional photographers she had worked with. Jeffrey also took our engagement photos in the frigid winter without complaint, and in fact, with excitement. You can tell he loves capturing an image and that energy transfers to you. I need to have more momentous life events so I can hire Jeffrey again to capture them.

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,800
  • Serves Amherst, MA

Hello there! Thank you for stopping by! My name is Christina and I am a natural light, lifestyle photographer. I am so excited for this journey called photography. I take my inspiration from music, light, art and my two beautiful girls, Chloe and Mabel. Photos are so important. They are what we have after a wedding or when our children are all grown up. I like to take photos of how people interact and try to capture their personality in a photo. I would love to take part in recording memories for you and your family.

Christina is wonderful to work with. I work with many videographers/photographers in my line of work and Christina is most definitely on the top of my list of "Best to work with". I hired her for my engagement & wedding photos. Christina is professional, timely, has a great eye for photography and has a wonderful personality to go with it! Being photographed can be overwhelming but Christina completely put my husband and I at ease and made our wedding day/engagement photos even more fun and meaningful. Not only would we hire her again, but we would only hire her!

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves Amherst, MA

I have the unique position of being a social butterfly and a fly on the wall at the same time: an artist, a documentarian, and part of a team that supports the enjoyment of everyone gathered to celebrate your love. I love new places and new faces. I love seeing people have the time of their lives, and I love sneaking in to grab those moments you didn't even realize were about to happen. The result: the most natural pictures that reflect how you FELT that day. I value creativity, meaningful relationships, and having fun- so if you do too, we're a good match.

Paulette is amazing to work with! We wanted a candid approach to our wedding photos & she absolutely nailed it! Nothing was forced & it was all seamless. She was flexible with our schedule & went above and beyond. She has an incredible eye and captured our weekend perfectly! She even sent a ‘sneak peek’ the very next morning- which was an added bonus! She loves what she does and it shines through her photos! Plus, she is a total sweetheart and EVERYONE raved (& are still raving) about her! Thank you so much, Paulette!!

​​I am following my dream of doing something I believe in. My hobby turned into more than a hobby. I have been married for 29 years and have 2 wonderful boys. Samuel Andrew was born at 25 weeks weighing 1 pound 7 ounces and only given a 3% chance of life, he is now 19 years old, driving and getting his Associates degree in computers at HCC. Gabriel Seth was born with a "rare blood disorder" that only happens in 3% of the entire population of the world, he is now 16 years old and in High school. I am so blessed to be able to do what I do. Photography has become such an important part of my life.

Ron was great! He captured so many moments and snapped pictures that I wasn't even aware of. Our wedding photos were ready within a week. He is professional to work with and has a great personality! Highly recommend Lemelin Photography!

Hey hey, I'm Jamie. I’m here to transform the way you feel about getting your picture taken. If I had a dollar for everytime someone told me they were awkward in front of the camera, felt weird getting their picture taken, or didn’t know what face to make... I could probably retire in Hawaii. Making you feel like your true self in front of my lens, not second-guessing everything you do, not feeling self-conscious about, well...being yourself is the name of my game. Even if you feel nervous, awkward, like a straight up freak in front of the camera, I promise you will leave feeling lighter.

We absolutely loved working with Jamie! Not only is she incredibly talented, but she’s also so personable and easy to be around. She made us feel comfortable from the very beginning, and it truly shows in the photos. She has an amazing ability to capture every moment, big or small, beautifully and naturally. Honestly, by the end of the wedding, she feels like your best friend. We’re so grateful for the memories she preserved for us and couldn’t recommend her more!

We absolutely loved working with OLAS! Our team (photo & video) was so adaptable to the venue and had great ideas for shots and making the most of the location. I loved all of the candids taken of the guests which is something I wanted during the ceremony and reception. We were able to see parts of the night that we would have missed. The planning team was also great- Hannah was very helpful in giving me an example timeline ahead of our call. We’re so pleased with our choice to select OLAS!

In the 20 years that I've been photographing professionally, I’ve honed my skill of knowing when to step in and make things happen, and when to step back and simply *allow* things to happen. Documenting the REAL emotion of the day is how we capture those picture-perfect moments. They happen organically, not by force, and I promise you: we're not going to miss ANY of them. = )

Christopher was the perfect choice for our wedding photographer. From the moment we met him at our engagement shoot, my husband and I felt completely at ease and truly cared for throughout the entire process. Christopher's warm and professional demeanor put us right at ease, and he made sure we were able to truly enjoy our day. His assistant Danica was also equally as talented, professional, and kind. The photos were beautiful and captured all the perfect moments. We highly recommend Christopher and his team to any couple looking for an experienced, talented, and genuinely kind photographer.
