The cake and the cupcakes were absolutely beautiful and tasted just as good at the looked! Everyone at our wedding raved about how good the cupcakes were! Liz is amazing and so helpful with the ordering process and tasting before hand. Everything was delivered perfectly to our venue and set up so nicely utilizing all of my cupcake/cake displays I purchased.

Additionally, he allowed my fiancée and I to guide his editing process to our preferences, and overall offered an incredibly fun, entertaining, and personable engagement shoot.

HannahCate Photography

Durham, NH
  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,500

Hi! I'm Hannah. I'm a wedding photographer of 8 years, a wife, and an occupational therapist. I have always loved stories.​ Your relationship is a fun, unique story unlike anyone else's, so your photography should reflect that. When I work with you, my goal is to capture your personalities, passions, and relationship styles. For this reason, sessions with me are fairly relaxed-- I like to give you time to be yourself and interact, which showcases your unique quirks, #relationshipgoals, and ways of loving each other.

Awarded Best of Zola
I had the honor of DJing the wedding of Hannah's sister some years back and was amazed to see that not only was she a Bridesmaid, but also, the principle photographer! Talk about multitasking! One of her photos from that very wedding has graced my website for years! After seeing her photos from that wedding, it was abundantly evident her level of talent! Hannah was an absolute JOY to work with and her easy-going, yet determined "to get that perfect shot" presence is what makes her stand above the crowd. From a fellow vendor's perspective, she is the ideal vendor! She is hard-working, loyal, creative, caring, and a master of her craft! She works diligently with her clients to achieve and exceed all expectations. On a personal note: fast-forward a few years, I had the honor of DJing HER wedding (she didn't do double-duty as the photographer for this event - after all, as the Bride, I think she deserved a day off!), and it was spectacular! In this business, vendors often "come and go" - but you see them around enough that they become "acquaintances"... of course, I could always recommend the services of an "acquaintance"; however, I'd much rather recommend the services of a fellow vendor that I can actually call "my friend". Don't hesitate, go with HannahCate!

They've traveled to every corner of New England doing hair and makeup for countless weddings, photoshoots, and any kind of special event you can think of.

The LE Glam Team was amazing to work with for my wedding day! Their communication was prompt, accommodating and they made me feel so comfortable throughout the entire process. From the trial run, Erin and Lisa listened to my ideas but also provided helpful suggestions, to the wedding day itself, their work was truly so professional and organized. On the wedding morning, they were even able to accommodate my elderly grandmother who wasn't originally part of the schedule, making her feel confident and beautiful. One of the best parts is I didn't need to touch up my makeup at all - it lasted all night long! With nerves high the morning of the wedding, they made me feel so relaxed and comfortable because I completely trusted them. I felt absolutely stunning, and I'm so grateful to the LE Glam Team for making me feel important and giving me one less thing to worry about from start to finish. I highly recommend them to any bride looking for a reliable, top-notch beauty team who makes you feel gorgeous for your special day.

Hello and congratulations on your engagement! My name is Mike, founder of Humblebee Wedding Films.

Since then, we've documented hundreds of weddings, capturing the real moments that make each love story unique. Our approach is candid, emotional, and story-driven.

Choosing the Red Barn for our wedding venue was the best decision we made!! The venue is absolutely gorgeous, the staff and on-site coordinators are absolutely incredible, and everything was so seamless from beginning to end, from the planning stages to the wedding day. Our venue coordinator Emily was a dream—she was so easy to work with and made the process a breeze: After we booked all our vendors ourselves and planned all our details, we met with Emily multiple times to talk about the day-of, and she was there on-site to make sure everything went smoothly (including setting up our decor, cuing the music and recessional/processional for our ceremony, keeping the timeline on track, and handling everything else that came up during the wedding day). Our day was absolutely perfect! She’s a superstar! For the venue itself, we can’t recommend it enough. The reception space is stunning, the foyer area for cocktail hour was perfect, and there’s a bridal suite for the bride/groom and bridal party. Staying at their sister property, the Stage House Inn gave us access to a shuttle service to and from the inn to the venue, which made the wedding day so easy (and the hotel is great!) We didn’t use the outdoor spaces as much because we got married in December, but we took some photos and the golf course and brick architecture were perfect backdrops. Overall, we really cannot recommend the Red Barn enough. From the absolutely amazing, friendly and welcoming staff (from the sales team to coordinators to catering and bar staff) to every single detail, we’re so happy with our wedding! If you’re considering booking the Red Barn, do it!

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. To the first kiss and “OMG you’re my spouse now!!” feels. To the unexpected Taco Bell run you make after the ceremony or your grandparents getting down on the dance floor. Being able to grab the moments for you to hold to forever, is such a rewarding humbling job for me.

We loved working with Gloria as our wedding photographer! She brought such a peaceful, calming energy to our day and was incredibly accommodating with every detail and last-minute change. She captured the most beautiful, natural photos—the kind that truly reflect how the day felt, not just how it looked. Gloria is professional, warm, and so easy to be around. Her communication was great from start to finish, and she made us feel completely at ease in front of the camera. We couldn’t be happier with our photos and our experience. Highly recommend Gloria to any couple looking for a photographer who delivers stunning work and a wonderful overall experience!

Getting married at the Granite Rose was the best decision we made. The planning team there is absolutely amazing - Anna helped us through most planning sessions, and Jill was our day of coordinator - both amazing at their jobs. Between the Granite Rose staff, and the partnerships with many of our vendors, our wedding went off without a hitch, and we were actually able to enjoy the process. We had an absolute blast on our wedding day, and it was absolutley due to this venue and their staff. I do not think we would have enjoyed our day this much if it had been at a different venue. From the decor, to the food, to the bar, to the dancefloor, everything was amazing. Could not have asked for a better crew - Our banquet coordinator, Joshua, had the most amazing energy, and made sure that my husband and I always had what we needed and that any concerns were addressed immediately. Our bartender, Mariah, was great at her job, and remembered everyone's drink order the entire night. The food was phenomenal - so delicious and our Chefs Jim and Joe were able to accomodate every allergy/request with no fuss. Our entire crew was so professional and we are so impressed by the service they provided (shout out Tirk, Kiara, Jen, and Hunter). We would highly recommend using Wedgewood Weddings for your wedding/event, and in particular looking into the Granite Rose, and their awesome team! We loved it!

Rating: 5.0 (24 reviews)
  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,600
  • Serves Durham, NH

I'd say my photography style would be something along the lines of "lifestyle photography". [That means that posing you in silly ways that seem fake / awkward isn't really my jam.] I mean, unless that gets some snuggles & laughs. I'm ALLLL about that. I like to capture REAL life with REAL emotions and REAL smiles. Your session should be relaxed and fun. [All while I get some kick-ass photos!] I will most likely make a giant fool of myself at your session, so you'll feel like a professional. I sing, trip, laugh, make noises, mention inappropriate things, show my nerdiness. AKA YOU'RE GOING TO DO JUST FINE.

Awarded Best of Zola
Highly recommend April and her husband (aka second shooter), Jordan, for your wedding/engagement/event of any sort! They both made us incredibly comfortable - even when we were a little camera shy. We're absolutely in love with our entire wedding album! They scoped out the venue when they arrived and had a clear plan to get the best shots. Their experience, combined with their relaxed nature and natural energy, made taking all of our pictures a breeze! April's commitment is also next-level, getting knee deep in the lake at our venue to facilitate one of the best shots of our wedding. Can't recommend Alba Lumos enough!!

It's been so hard to find the words to capture how much we loved working with Felisha - she is THAT good! Her work is incredible and our wedding photos are ones that we will cherish forever.

It's so meaningful to have these memories captured on both digital and film for us to reflect on for the rest of our lives and to share with others. Not only is her work amazing - but she is truly an amazing person as well! From the moment we first spoke on the phone for our consult, I knew she needed to be a part of our day and that she would give it the care and attention we were looking for. That feeling was only cemented at our engagement shoot and then of course on our wedding day. She made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera and helped us bring our best selves forward.

We are so glad that we chose Jimmy to be both our DJ and our officiant at our wedding. From the first time we spoke to Jimmy, he was very friendly and easy to talk to. His communication leading up to the event was always amazing (even while he was on a cruise!). He was perfect as our officiant — the ceremony was just what we wanted. We didn’t provide a ton of guidance or make any special requests and Jimmy really knocked it out of the park; it felt like he knew us and kind of matched the ceremony to our personalities just from the few conversations we had with him prior to the wedding. Jimmy was also an excellent DJ! Our guest list was pretty small and he did an awesome job getting people on the dance floor and keeping the vibes up! He played all the songs we requested and he was super accommodating to special requests, like working with my best friend who played violin for the ceremony. Everything was seamless. Everybody loved him and spoke highly of him at the wedding — I heard he even had a little heart to heart with my dad. :’) 10/10 would recommend Jimmy!

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
Julie is super skilled and fun to work with. We wanted someone to capture fun photos (vs the traditional photos) and she fully delivered for both our engagement and wedding photos. She’s super flexible and made us feel so comfortable the whole time given us direction while also capturing many candid shots. She has a knack for capturing the pure joy of the moments. HIGHLY recommend!

Sarah is an amazing photographer. I looked at probably a dozen other photographers for our wedding, but my fiancé and I were both super impressed with Sarah’s work and affordability. We recently had our engagement photos done and I was an anxious mess since I don’t normally wear make up or have my photos taken. However, I’m OBSESSED with how the photos came out. I feel so pretty looking at them and they truly represent our love and goofy relationship. Cannot wait to see the photos from our wedding next year.

We had an amazing wedding thanks to Mandy from Breathe Easy Events! Choosing to work with her was one of the best decisions we made during the entire wedding planning process. From our very first phone call with her, Mandy was kind, helpful, and enthusiastic about helping us achieve the vision we had for our special day. Mandy went above and beyond in her communications, planning, and attention to detail when it came to our 50 person wedding. She was so knowledgable and experienced, and we learned so much during the venue walkthrough which prepared us for the big day. On our wedding day, she made sure the flow of events went smoothly, and checked on us throughout the event. She came to the rescue when the groom needed a bandaid, and even made sure we had drinks in our glasses during the reception! Mandy attended to all of the details, big and small. She is passionate about her work, and can truly help you breathe easy during your big day! You will thank yourself for hiring Mandy for your wedding day!

Your enjoyment and satisfaction is our #1 priority. We will tailor your event to be everything you’ve always dreamed of. Classic or creative, elegant or off-the-hook-you decide. We make it happen.

We worked with Kevin Maldonado for our 11.17 ceremony and reception at the Granite Rose in Hampstead NH. Main Event was the recommended DJ service from our venue, and the matching process to put us with the rigth DJ was so easy. Once we met with Kevin, we had high hopes for our big day, and I am not exaggerating when I say that Kevin blew our hopes out of the water. Kevin helped with audio for our ceremony, before doing music and speeches at our cocktail hour and reception. We requested a high energy dancefloor, with classics from all decades to get everyone on their feet, and wanted to have an insane dance party with our friends and family. He killed it. The energy on the dancefloor was impeccable, and Kevin delivered our vision PERFECTLY. He was so professional, but fun, and everything went very smoothly, no hiccups, no complaints. I would absolutlely, 100% recommend Kevin, and Main Event Entertainment, for anyone looking for a DJ for a wedding or event. You will not be disappointed.

Tonight I was blown away! I have been a full time wedding DJ for 18 years. My company, Cape Tunes, hosts about 250 weddings every season. I personally DJ about 85 weddings a season. There’s a new venue in Derry, NH called Hyla Brook Estate that opened in October 2024. Sadly, many venues treat vendors trash. Hyla Brook Estate was the complete opposite of what a vendor expects. I won’t mention how amazingly beautiful the venue is, I’m sure plenty of couples will review this aspect. I have to speak from a vendors point of view. A few days prior to the wedding, I got the “I’m your coordinator email, here are our policies”. I walked into the venue to clarify where to unload and was told “whatever works for you”. You mean I don’t have to trek through a kitchen then park a mile away?!?! There were two coordinators named Ashley who were extremely nice. I had the pleasure of meeting the owner, Kim. Wow, amazing business person with an awesome vision! Some highlights … * Easy load in * Dedicated WiFi for DJs only! * No vendor chicken!!! * Vendors can eat when they want! * Apps and dessert? YUP! They won’t chop your hand off like other venues! SIT DOWN FOR THIS ONE … There is a vendor lounge! With a stocked fridge and snacks!!! I felt compelled to post this for all vendors lucky enough to work at this new property. A note to couples … happy vendors make your day rock a little more

My business started when I was planning my own wedding. I love flowers, but we couldn't justify spending hundreds or thousands on real flowers to throw them away in a week when we also found out we were expecting our first child at the same time. In came wood flowers! After much practice, I discovered I have an eye for colors and floral design and now 4 years and MANY weddings and THOUSANDS of home decor pieces later, this is not only my passion but it is also my full time business. No side hustle here! You will have my undivided attention. I'll make sure your floral dreams come to life in wood and the best part, they LAST FOREVER!

I couldn’t have asked for a better company to make my wedding bouquet!!! We did a Christmas wedding and the bouquet she made me matched everything perfectly and was truly extraordinary! I will forever cherish it and am beyond thankful I chose them to create my bouquet for my special day.

Johanna Sorrell Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (15 reviews)
  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,500
  • Serves Durham, NH

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.

Johanna Sorrell was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding. We were so lucky to be connected with Jo so early on in our planning process. The best advice we got was to pick a photographer we felt connected to since we would be spending by far the most amount of time with them on our wedding day. I didn't want my wedding to feel like a photoshoot. Once the ceremony was over I just wanted to enjoy myself. She really honored that request. Jo was so invested in our wedding. From our very first interaction, Johanna was efficient, attentive, and timely in communication, often providing long and thoughtful responses to our many questions. We chatted on the phone, had zoom calls, and met in person prior to the big day. She really wanted to make sure she understood our vision. We were lucky enough to get to do our engagement photos last summer with Jo. When I say she was lying in the middle of the street while we were driving at her on a vespa.. I mean it. See photos below. She will do anything for the shot. We wanted our photos to be extremely vibrant which as you can tell she clearly captured! She can also really organize the obnoxious family members and tell them where and how to be. Her work was incredibly thorough, and she was able to capture all the special moments of our day quickly and seamlessly. We got a sneak peak back within days of the wedding! We got all the photos back within weeks which shocked us! She is such a hard worker. Johanna truly made us feel so calm and seen on our wedding day - we now consider her a dear friend. The value and quality of her services far exceeded our expectations, and we 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.

If we were to go back and do this whole thing over again, we would choose Brett every time. She did an amazing job capturing our wedding day. Easy to work with, very calm, and extremely talented, plus lots of personal touches throughout the process. Highly recommend to anyone planning their wedding.
