Revolution Summer Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (46 reviews)
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,380
  • Serves Bristol, ME

Nostalgia drove me into photography at an early age - and lead me into my studies of photojournalism. We all innately know when we're at a critical juncture in our lives. For me, being able to authentically capture, to preserve those moments in a photograph is such a privilege. I know how much it means to me to be able to look back and say 'this is how things actually happened.' There is beauty in those truths. The kind of folks I work with share that appreciation.

Awarded Best of Zola
When I was looking for photographers for the wedding it was important to me that I found a "documentary" style photographer - and someone who's work actually reflected this more than just using it as a buzzword to describe their services ; not because it is trendy, but because I HATE PHOTOS. I have never liked photos of myself, and I am not comfortable in front of the camera. I have also been in plenty of weddings where the couple misses out on half of the night because they are spending so much time posing for photos. I expressed all of this to Corey at our initial meeting and he assured me that outside of a few quick formal photoshoots (first look, golden hour, & family photos) we wouldn't even know he was there - and he followed through with that promise. Corey's work was beautiful - I got exactly what I wanted and you can see the love in everyone in our photos. The only thing I would change if I could go back in time would be to request a longer time window, or a second shooter because there were a few moments and people that I wish we had captured, but we were too busy living in the moment.

I take an authentic and cinematic approach to wedding photography.

I am passionate about creating timeless and lasting photographs for you and your family.

Wow! Where to begin! Peter was so incredible to work with every step of the way! He was flexible, communicative, creative, and fun to work with! He made both myself and my husband feel so comfortable during our portraits and we barely noticed him throughout the ceremony and reception as he quietly captured the most stunning moments and gorgeous candids that truly captured the evening! I couldn't recommend him more! It was an utter pleasure to have him be a part of such an important day!

  • Starts at $4,400
  • Serves Bristol, ME

Your wedding photos are more than a collection of images; they are how you’ll remember the day you built together. I’m a Maine-based photographer with more than a decade of experience who tells honest, documentary-style stories for couples who value connection, emotion, and atmosphere. I take on a limited number of weddings each year so I can be fully present for every couple.

Awarded Best of Zola
We were extremely please with Emily's work. It was especially nice for us to have someone familiar with Maine, though she would be great anywhere. Within a minute of speaking with her on Zoom, we could tell she was whom we wanted to do our wedding. Emily listed to what we had in mind and formulated a plan that worked very well. She is personable and very cooperative. Her photographs are outstanding. We were left with a wonderful record of our event. Now we have so many great photos that it is hard to choose which ones to use in an album. We'd like to include all of them!

My name is Tiffany, and I am so happy that you are here! A little about my style... when it comes to photography, I am all about authenticity. I want real. For me, photography is more than beautiful imagery - it’s about capturing the emotion and essence of a single moment and providing something tangible that you can hold onto long after the moment has passed. I work hard to get to know you on a personal level. When we meet for the first time, I want you to feel comfortable; like you're reuniting with an old friend! I am truly invested in your wedding journey and will be available to guide you at every step. ​

Loved working with Tiffany! she is very responsive, timely, fun to work with, and takes beautiful pictures!

The Leighton Co. 
Rating: 5.0 (1 review)
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves Bristol, ME

Becca and Scott are a husband and wife team creating story-driven photography and Super 8 films for couples who value art, trust the process, and understand the importance of slowing down. We're drawn to the quiet, meaningful moments that often pass unnoticed: the way time feels when you're fully immersed in it, the laughter and light that fills a room when everyone you love is together.

I highly recommend Becca and Scott. I sent in an inquiry form, and soon after Becca scheduled a call for us to discuss what we envisioned for our wedding day and to tell us about their different packages. We were not certain that we wanted a videographer, but Becca and Scott helped to guide us to make the best choice for us. Leading up to our wedding day, Becca was great about communicating with us. And best of all she created a day of timeline for us! I was so stressed about the timing of the day, but once I saw her suggested timeline, I knew it would work out great. On the day of our wedding, both Becca and Scott were awesome. They were supportive and kind, making sure that we were comfortable and able to be where we wanted to. We never felt awkward or like we were “forcing it” for the cameras. Post wedding, Becca and Scott were again great about communicating with us about when they would deliver our finalized photos and video. Both our engagement and wedding photos/ videos are beautiful. The Leighton Co has a timeless style that we love, and they do a great job of capturing you and your day as it is. It is very obvious how much hard work they put in, and how dedicated they are to the couples they work with. I know that we will look back at our pictures and videos for many years and instantly remember how loved we felt that day.

Portraits by Sean was truly a blessing from the Lord for our wedding! Sean was professional, proactive, and communicative from the start, and approached our day with such care, kindness, and intentionality—it was clear he sees his work as a calling, not just a job. He’s not just a photographer—he’s a storytelling artist. He beautifully captured the love, joy, and sacredness of what God was doing in our covenant, and how special it was to share that day with our loved ones. His photos bring those moments back so vividly. He was flexible, kind, and truly a joy to work with. The quality of his work is unmatched—truly high-caliber. We thank God for him and will cherish these memories forever. Highly, highly recommend!

My husband and I come as a photo team! We feel your day should be captured your way! So we tailor our style and editing to each unique couple! It’s not about us, it’s about you. We will help you document what is most important to you, the way you envision! Just like you, we have felt awkward in front of the camera. We’ve had photos taken of us that we didn’t like. We will make sure you not only feel comfortable, but that you look good! We give you prompts to keep you moving so you look and feel natural and comfortable.

Wedding planning is sooooo stressful, and Lacie and her team made the photography part such a breeze!!! I told my fiance that I was nervous about choosing a photographer because our pictures would last forever, but with Lacie all of that anxiety was gone!! I love how she doesn’t have just one specific style, but she takes the kind of pictures that YOU want. She was great at helping my husband and I with poses and she was even more amazing helping us at our wedding!! If I had to do it all over again I would still pick her to shoot our wedding. She did amazing!!!

Hi! I’m Justin (he/him) and I’m here to affirm your love, make you feel like a fucking rockstar, and dance like a total fool. Oh, and take so many gorgeous photos of y’all. Obvs. My style blends both documentary photojournalism and fine art photography: coaching folks who are shy in front of the camera, then stepping back to capture authentic moments uninterrupted. I’ve been lucky enough to have my work published by A Practical Wedding, The New York Times, GLAMOUR, People Magazine and many other fabulous outlets. I'm a stereotypical Capricorn that loves drag shows, campy horror films, every dog I meet, and Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups.

Where do I even begin... first, Heather was absolutely phenomenal! She was able to fit us in with probably the shortest notice ever. She was also able to work with our budget. Her communication was amazing, she answered all of my questions quickly. She made us feel very comfortable! Working with her and her fiance felt like we had all been friends already, we just clicked (haha). Side note: we got to help out two poor little stray kittens with them, so animal lovers always a plus in my book! I am madly in LOVE with the photos she took, they are absolutely perfect!!!! She was able to capture our dream come true and so much more!!! They are so beautiful!!! She was even able to finish the editing earlier then planned. I already talked it over with my husband, and we plan on hiring her again in the future! A five star rating does not do her justice, she was hands down the best!!!

I am SO excited that you stumbled upon my work! I shoot weddings all across Florida & New England! Capturing raw, true emotions as they happen is what I’m all about. I want to capture it all on your big day. From the moments of you putting your dress to the tears running down your face as you read your vows to each other.

Danielle Robidoux Photography

  • Photojournalistic style

  • Serves Bristol, ME

Your wedding is not a performance. It's the way you look at each other when no one's watching. Your hand finding theirs without thinking. My couples care more about what’s real than what looks good on a grid. They want gorgeous photos but also want them to mean something. The couples I work with have depth. Their stories have weight. They want someone behind the lens who sees them. Not just how they look, but who they are. Presence over performance. That's the closest I can get to naming it.

Awarded Best of Zola
Our experience with Danielle was nothing short of incredible! She captured our October wedding in Maine so beautifully, and the photos perfectly reflect who we are as a couple. From the moment we started working with her, she made us feel completely at ease. And provided a lot of additional unexpected guidance to help prep for our big day. She has an amazing ability to balance capturing those sweet, genuine moments with showcasing our silly side, all while making us look absolutely stunning. Nothing felt forced or overly staged—just natural and real. Her guidance during the shoot was spot-on, and the final photos blew us away. If you’re planning a wedding in New England, we can’t recommend Moon Rising Photography enough. Danielle is not only talented but also so much fun to work with. Our memories from that day wouldn’t be the same without her! And we look forward to continuing to hire her for any and all major life events!

HI, I'm Alli! I am a destination wedding & portrait photographer traveling around the United States since 2016! As your wedding photographer my goal is to capture the memories you're in the moment experiencing so you can be taken right back to the day no mater how much time has passed. Wedding photography is so much more than pretty pictures. These are heirlooms that you will pass down to those who love you, so let's give them honest real images about a love worth remembering JUST AS IT IS!

Awarded Best of Zola
I could write a whole detailed review just on my engagement shoot. I’ll save you all the time and focus on my wedding, but they went above and beyond, spent the whole day with us, and gave us such stunning engagement shoot pictures! We had three people on our photo and video team (two taking photos and one switching between photo and video), Allie, Josh, and Euclid. They were absolutely amazing and have honestly become friends at this point. They make you feel so comfortable in front of the camera and bring such good energy to the day. We ran about an hour behind schedule, and while I felt we had to rush because of that, it was completely to no fault of theirs. They handled it so professionally and with such grace that they somehow managed to bust out all the photos we needed and get us back on track. I had wanted a relaxed, candid feel, but because we were short on time, it ended up being more structured. Still, they made sure to capture all the in-between moments while getting every important posed shot we wanted. I wasn’t sure if I felt we would have everything we were looking for because of the time constraint, but once we got the photo gallery back I was STUNNED. I don’t think I could have asked for more or better pictures! It was everything I could have imagined and better even while running behind!! They are true professionals and people wranglers. We had a big wedding party and my husband has a large family, but they were so organized and on top of everything that we actually finished family portraits early and made it to cocktail hour ahead of schedule. Alli was such a calming presence throughout the day. When I started to stress about running behind, she reassured me that we had plenty of time and helped me breathe and refocus. Even when we realized a few shots were missing due to time constraints, they quickly pulled us aside after family photos to make sure we got them done. They run like clockwork. They know exactly what needs to get done, how to make it happen efficiently, and how to make everything look effortless. Anytime I needed something, they were right there, even carrying my chapstick around for me. All of this AND we got our ENTIRE GALLERY less than a month after our wedding!! This team is incredibly talented, organized, and kind. I’m so grateful to have had them on such an important day.

Natural, documentary, photojournalistic. Real, raw, candid. We’re not going for any stiff prom poses here. I like to capture the day as it is and to document it as it unfolds. I never want to force anything, but I step in and direct where needed. Being in front of the camera isn’t my favorite thing either. I will be here to guide you and prompt you the whole way, I promise.

Jenna was the perfect choice for our wedding photography. From our first interaction, Jenna was professional, responsive, and thoughtful in her communication. Her talented artistic eye and down to earth approach shone through in the comprehensive set of photos she captured that truly reflected the vibe of our wedding and felt authentic to our relationship. Jenna took the time to get to know us as a couple and learn what was most important to capture about the day. She provided just the right amount of direction to ensure the photos came out natural and relaxed, rather than overly posed. We are thrilled with the beautiful memories Jenna helped us preserve from our special day.

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.

The quality of their work is amazing - the photos are beautiful, diligent, and incredibly creative.

Hi, my name is Maria Davis! I am a documentary style photographer capturing love stories on both film and digital. I am a homegrown and local Winston-Salem, NC girl with a second location in Boston, MA. You can usually find me along the upper east coast, but I happily offer my services within the USA with $0 travel feels. If you are interested in working together, please visit my website to see a little more about me, my work, and how I can help you make your wedding day visions real.

If you have the opportunity to work with Maria we recommend you take that chance while you’ve got it. She is an AMAZING photographer, fun to work with, and is so thoughtful/ helpful during the planning journey. We’ve already had a friend say they’d hit her up if they get married because they loved our experience and photos so much. 10000% could not recommend her enough. When we were looking for a wedding and engagement photographer we wanted someone who was creative in their shots, had crystal clear photo quality, and had a true to life/vibrant photography style - and Maria was the perfect fit! We had a phone consultation where she asked thoughtful questions to get to know us as a couple but also helped asked things related to photography to help us communicate our desires and ensure she was the right fit. Maria wants her couples to have the dreamiest day and I loved how intentional she was with helping us communicate our vision - she’s the pro and knew exactly what to ask to get us thinking! We were immediately obsessed and left in awe at some sample galleries, so we signed right away. When it came time for our engagement photos we had this super fun pre-shoot questionnaire that once again consisted of thoughtful questions (our planner was SO impressed with them), such as if there were any specific shots we wanted or our comfort level with photos. My now husband and I sat down with wine and went through the questions together, so that itself was a fun planning experience. We’re not the most comfortable in front the camera so it was cool to feel seen and have her understand us before we arrived to the shoot. And let me tell you we had the BEST time! We felt comfortable so quickly and the shoot flew by. The photos turned out AMAZING and we got even more excited for the wedding. Before the wedding we had a questionnaire to go over our desires for the wedding (and even had a chance to put secret info if you had any surprises for people or just wanted her to be aware of certain family dynamics you don’t want widely disseminated). On our wedding day Maria even handled a situation for us when we asked for help and she was the most discreet and professional and got us taken care of. We just got our full gallery back and the photos are the dreamiest - incredible sunset photos, creative and thoughtful detail shots, and excellent photos of our guests. The gallery captures our day perfectly and is everything and more than we could have asked for. Maria is timely, talented, professional, a cool person, and is someone we’d hire again in a heartbeat. Plus, she’s always down for an adventure so if you want to travel I’m sure she’ll be happy to meet you there and help make your photography dreams come true. We will cherish our engagement and wedding photos forever. All photos credited to Maria at MTD Photo Co.

Hi! My name is Mae, and I live in Brooklyn with my girlfriend, our two dogs Apollo and Bia, her cat Gigi and my lizard, Basil! I’ve always been passionate about capturing moments as authentically and magically as possible, and as i’ve settled more into this career path, I love that i’ve landed in a place where I have the privilege to capture and preserve people’s love stories. Weddings and elopements are so distinctly and uniquely human, and it’s truly the biggest honor to be trusted to document them.

Mae Krell Photo was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding. From the very beginning, Mae was incredibly thorough and took the time to get to know us and our vision for the day. She asked thoughtful questions and used a variety of communication methods like email, Zoom calls, and text messages to keep us informed and make the process seamless. On the day of the wedding, Mae's positive and calming presence was exactly what we needed when things didn't go exactly as planned. Her creativity and talent shone through, as she captured so many special moments we didn't even realize were happening. The final photos are absolute perfection - precise, organized, and beyond excellent. I am thrilled that Mae was our photographer and I cannot recommend her highly enough.

I’m a New Hampshire wedding photographer, who specializes in candid, natural wedding photography, serving all of New England for over fifteen years. Almost all of my couples come to me saying that they feel weird in front of the camera and worried about how their photos will turn out. But of course they want those gorgeous, Pinterest-worthy shots! My laid-back attitude will help put you at ease, helping your true personalities shine through (with simple and fun guidance for the posed photos). And my quiet and calm nature makes it easy for me to blend into the background, to get tons of candid photos that you will make you laugh and cry.

We chose Brett for our photographer for our wedding and could not be happier. She was great to work with, quick and easy communication. She made us feel comfortable during the engagement session and wedding day. The photos were beautiful and captured the special moments of the day so well. I would highly recommend!

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.

I don’t know where to begin! I was hoping to find a photographer who was easy to be around, wouldn’t make us feel stiff and captured the true joys of the day. Jo is your person! She was incredible. We are avid hikers and mountain people and Jo didn’t bat an eye when I asked if she would come over to hike our favorite mountain for sunset/first look photos the Thursday before our wedding. They are the most special photos we have from our wedding and it truly was such an intimate time for us to share together before the big day (my husband, Jo and I all together!) and it made for such an easy transition to working with her on wedding day. Jo captured all the action, often pulling off crazy maneuvers or every laying on the dance floor to get the perfect shots. In the lead up to the wedding she was always available, happy to chat about ideas and really valued what was most important to us. She easily brought on an amazing second photographer as we got closer and picked someone who she truly thought would mesh well with us. I’m not someone who documents much with progressional photography, but I’m truly looking forward to more life events so I can give Jo a call.

I'm Alyssa, a Boston based wedding photographer who shoots all over Maine, Rhode Island, The Hudson Valley and New York City. I feel so lucky to photograph weddings. It’s an honor to be invited into the quiet, behind-the-scenes moments that make the day so personal—those shared just with family and the closest friends. I don’t take that role lightly and feel privileged to document those intimate pieces of the story.

Alyssa was an amazing photographer to work with. From the start she was great to bounce ideas off of and we trusted her completely with our vision. She has a really great energy that put us and our entire wedding party at ease, and made our portrait and family shoots so comfortable. The photos of our ceremony and reception turned out beautifully! If you want a slightly more unique vibe for your photos, with visual interest, movement, and drama, then Alyssa is the photographer for you.

Brayley was hands down the easiest and one of the best hires for our wedding. I found her through the Zola website as a photographer with five stars. I reached out, and she got back to me immediately. Her communication skills were top-notch, and I hired her that same day. My fiancé and I live in the Carolinas, and despite the three-hour time difference, we always felt in the loop, heard, and understood. From the first email to the wedding day, she was amazing. Now let's get to the important stuff... the wedding day. She was incredible. She got all the shots I wanted and then some. We were able to get all the photos done in a timely manner so that we could get back to the party and enjoy ourselves. Brayley captured both staged photos and the best candids. We cannot wait to get the rest of our album back. If you're thinking about hiring Brayley... DO IT!
