From the first moment my grandfather placed a Sony Cybershot in my hands at age 13, I knew the magic of capturing life's most profound and intimate moments was meant for me. Now, after nearly 24 years behind the lens, what began as a childhood hobby has become everything to me. My commitment to you as your photographer is to apply my skill, creative mind, and decades of experience to your occasion so you have fantastic, tangible memories to look back on years from now. I have made it my goal to become proficient across a wide range of photographic/editing styles, in order to better serve the needs and preferences of each individual client.

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.

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.

Christina Rosario Photography 

5.0

  • 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.

Hiring Christina as our photographer was easily the best decision we made in the wedding planning process. From the beginning, friends advised us to be picky with our choice of photographer because aside from each other, this was the person we’d spend the most time with on our wedding day. We knew right away Christina would be the right choice. She has such a calm energy while being totally on top of everything, she’s funny, and she’s really resourceful. We also felt super safe and comfortable as a queer couple working with Christina. Of course, she also takes the most stunning photos! We chose to hire her because of her ability to really capture people’s essence in photos, and she completely knocked it out of the park. None of our photos came out looking generic or stiff - looking back on them now, we can feel the energy of the day in each of the pictures. She has a genuine magic for bringing people’s personality through in photos, especially the candid ones. She also has a particular talent for getting amazing pictures of young kids - she took a few stunning portraits of our two year old niece, who probably was not standing still for a single second that day! She also took the time to chat with us about our own relationship with ourselves in photos, and that really helped me feel more comfortable with the whole process. We’re totally blown away by the gallery we received, and if we ever needed a professional photographer again, we would absolutely make the same choice to hire Christina. We highly recommend everyone else to do the same!

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 an incredible photographer! She captured so many great moments so beautifully! We are obsessed with our photos, and Paulette was also a joy to work with. She’s very friendly, relaxed, and great with communication!

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!

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.

It's feeling, and it's found in the whirlwind and the still moments, in heightened emotion and calm, and above all, celebrating what makes you and your partner exactly who you are with the people you choose to surround yourself with. In my work composition serves to frame the feeling, with permission to be raw, outrageous, reserved, and unabashedly yourself. I make photos about the day and not the day about the photos. All couples of all genders, ethnicities, ages, faiths, shapes and abilities, are more than welcome.

I am SO HAPPY that we hired Ali for our wedding! She was so kind and easygoing while also totally in command and on top of every request we had photography wise. Her years of wedding coordination and event experience were truly evident throughout every step of the day. Not only was she totally on top of keeping us on our timeline and capturing all of the special moments, but she even went into super hero mode and on the spot sewed one of my bridesmaids dresses in the bathroom right before the ceremony without showing an ounce of stress. We already received our preview photos and are truly blown away by how she captured our love & our special day. Her attention to detail, calming presence, and creative approach are truly invaluable and we will be recommending her to everyone we know for years to come!

Dreaming of vibrant, whimsical wedding photos with no travel fees? Hi, I'm Sophia! Capturing love stories through my lens is not just a job but a profound joy that I cherish with every wedding I photograph. It's been six years and I've photographed close to 100 weddings which seems unreal! The photography gene runs in my family, my great-grandfather had his own photography studio in Panama and from there, knowledge of photography was passed down through the generations of my family to me. I believe in always having fun and prioritizing an stress-free lifestyle which translates into my photography style — candid, authentic, and joyful.

I create true-to-life images that will bring you back to some of your sweetest, most treasured moments for years to come. These images aren't just for you, after all - they're for the branches of your family tree that have yet to grow. For the generations to come.

Awarded Best of Zola
I knew we needed to book Kaitlin from the second I found her Zola profile, but it was completely solidified by our meet and greet meeting. Kaitlin is exactly as described. So personal, completely herself, open and transparent, I could go on and on. One of the biggest things that sold us with Kaitlin (besides her work) was the fact that she gave us advice on what to look for/questions to ask with other photography vendors while we were on our hunt. We had our engagement photos in October in Boothbay Harbor and we are actually located in Western Mass. I had ideas in my head about what would work and Kaitlin made the drive to check out the locations and ensure they actually would. One of my locations wasn't the best lighting wise and she gave multiple other options to get similar looks. We actually ended up doing some downtown photos which are some of my favorites (which is a little a lie because I am obsessed with all of them). I read in multiple of Kaitlin's reviews that she makes awkward people comfortable behind the camera and I am here to say it is true. I was so stressed going into things, worried my hair looked bad, we wouldn't get *the* shot, we would look weird, etc. Kaitlin immediately asked me what my worries were and I felt so at ease. Working with Kaitlin felt like working with with a lifelong friend who really has it all together and is such a professional. I truly know that our wedding day is going to be that much better knowing she is going to be there documenting it all.

When searching for a photographer, I was overwhelmed by the number of options available. Dominique didn’t make me feel pressured. She provided us with her wedding guide, which gave us insight into who she is. When we met remotely, I instantly knew she was the one. She was enthusiastic, listened attentively, and asked us questions about what is important to us leading up to the wedding and beyond. She was great to work with, and I knew what to expect. She drafted our timeline, offered recommendations, and helped us design it based on what was important to my husband and me. She curated a family shot list, and let me tell you, she did not disappoint. Her and her team were amazing.
