Hi, I'm Brooke (she/they) I'm a Massachusetts based wedding & elopement photographer. A client once told me that I captured things in their wedding photos that until then they had only ever felt. I saw this as the ultimate compliment. My goal in every session is to do just that: Turn an intangible feeling into a tangible image that will make your heart soar every time you see it. But what does love look like?

Awarded Best of Zola
Brooke Seminick Photography was the perfect choice for our wedding photography. From the moment we first spoke with Brooke, we were impressed by her creative, attentive, and authentic communication style. She demonstrated a deep dedication, enthusiasm, and passion for her work, as well as a wealth of knowledge that shone through in the quality of the photos she captured. Brooke was meticulous in documenting all the big moments of our special day, but it's the tiny, detailed pictures that really make me smile. She seemed to anticipate and capture moments I hadn't even thought to request, and I'm forever grateful. Tragically, my grandmother passed away shortly after our wedding, but I'll always have the amazing photos Brooke took to cherish and share with my children someday. I couldn't recommend Brooke Seminick Photography highly enough.

Our style is artistic and documentary, and can be described in three words; Sincere, Scenic, and Inspirational. Sincere, we will never ask you to act unnaturally in front of our camera; we will adjust to your personalities and photograph you as you are. Scenic, because we love beautiful landscapes and love to incorporate everyone in such environments. Inspirational, because there is always a new way or a new idea to capture a photo but in the end it's capturing that special moment.

Your wedding deserves more than background music. It deserves moments—like the perfect song as you walk down the aisle, or that one song that gets your grandma dancing at the reception. I help create those moments. From your first “hello” at the top of the aisle -- to your last dance of the night, I make the music for your day personal, seamless, and stress-free.

She was amazing to work with and even learned new songs for us to make our day perfect. Ashley sang at our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour this past September. From the very beginning, she was amazing to work with and even learned new songs for us to make our day perfect. We received so many compliments on her rendition of Invisible String by Taylor Swift and Kiss the Girl during the ceremony. Thank you, Ashley!

I cannot say enough amazing things about Blissfulstills Photography! From the moment we booked them for both photo and video for our wedding, I knew we were in good hands. Noble and Stevenson, our photographers, were absolute pros. My husband and I are terrible at posing, but they made us look like naturals in every single shot! They guided us through the entire process, making it fun and effortless, and the results were beyond stunning. But the real jaw-dropper? Carl, our videographer, crafted a wedding video that looks like an epic movie! Every moment is captured with such cinematic flair—it’s a masterpiece. Even a year later, I’m still in awe every time I watch it. The way they captured our day is something we’ll treasure forever. I recently found out that they don’t only just do weddings! I’m already planning to book them for every special event in our lives. Love you guys!

We have a strong eye for detail, and focus on really diving into a couples love and expressing their emotion for one another through our lens.

Awarded Best of Zola
Avec L'Amour captured our wedding in June of 2023. We went with Avec L'Amour because we really liked the style and felt the prices were extremely reasonable compared to some of the other videographers out there. We went with the package that included the highlight film and the feature-length film. The audio on the feature-length film is a little tough to hear because of all the background noise, but we were outdoors and in front of a lake, so it’s understandable. While planning for our wedding, we worked directly with John. He had great energy and seemed very prepared every time we interacted with him. However, we never met John in-person because the day before our wedding, he reached out saying he could no longer make it and would be sending a replacement instead. This was understandably very stressful, but fortunately the replacement he sent was awesome. We would have liked to know this update earlier if possible, however we know that’s not always possible, and this was our only complaint in working with him. When John sent us the footage of our wedding, we were so happy with it with the exception of one place where the audio didn’t match up, one place where suddenly the video went purple, and the fact that one of our best man’s speeches was completely left out of the highlight reel; we brought these concerns to John, and he fixed them with no hesitation in a timely manner. Though we can’t review John’s videography or wedding day presence directly, we did have a good experience with his company and would recommend it!

Why, hello there. I'm the creative behind the lens. I am a Canadian who pursued his true love, got married and found himself in the United States. It turns out, it can take some time to receive permanent residency, which led me to pick up a camera and fall in love with the art.

I don't even know where to start regarding Zhaun!! From our engagement photos all the way to our wedding day, he was so remarkably supportive, reassuring, & honestly invaluable the entire process. My husband & I always joke that we're remarkably unphotogenic & can be awkward in front of the camera-- but all of that really washed away with Zhaun. I know you've all seen the more cheesy or uber serious photographers, & Zhaun truly met us where we were & was able to create such a wonderfully laid back vibe. His photos obviously speak for themselves & it goes without saying, but holy MOLY is he talented!!! I made a pinterest page with different 'inspo,' wanting our photos of the big day to capture a lot of the joy in the little interactions with not only us, but all of our guests & boy did Zhaun deliver & then some!!

Hi there! I’m Daniel Martinez, and I’m thrilled to connect with you! My passion for photography ignited at just 14 years old, and I’ve been dedicated to this creative journey ever since. With a decade of experience in wedding photography, I’ve had the joy of working with fantastic publications like ESPN, PDN, and The New York Times. I focus on a documentary style, capturing genuine, candid moments that tell your unique story. My goal is to create a relaxed atmosphere, allowing you to fully enjoy your special day while I document the heartfelt connections between you and your loved ones. I’d love to chat!

From the very first conversation, we knew he was our guy—and we immediately forgot about everyone else. I’m usually not one for being in front of a camera, but Daniel made it all feel so easy, so relaxed, and honestly… SO MUCH FUN. He has this magic about him that makes you feel comfortable and hyped all at once. Our guests have not stopped raving about him—literally everyone was obsessed! And somehow, the very next morning, he had already sent us nearly 300 photos that blew us away. Each one better than the last. I LOVE THEM ALL. Daniel and his team were not only incredibly professional, but also genuinely kind and such a joy to be around. I honestly don’t think we’ll ever look better in photos again! He knew exactly where to shoot—from hidden corners of our venue to the most epic street shots. I’m still in awe. We cannot wait to see the final edits, and I really really really hope we get to shoot with him again someday. If you’re even thinking about booking Daniel—do it. You will not regret it. He’s a once-in-a-lifetime kind of photographer!!!

Hello, my name is Adam! I have been working behind a camera for 15 years and would love to bring my expertise in filmmaking and storytelling to your wedding. Being a part of the most special day in a couple's lives is a tremendous honor, and I bring that sentiment into every film I make.

Awarded Best of Zola
From our first meeting with Adam, we knew he was the best videographer for us! Not only is he kind, professional, communicative AND fairly priced, but he also delivers high-quality, cinematic videos that look like movies. Since receiving the sneak peek of our June 2024 wedding, we've heard from multiple guests that it is one of the best trailers they've ever seen. Adam managed to capture the smallest moments that I truly thought no one saw- such as the moment I got a little emotional alone after putting on my dress. He never feels intrusive or in the way, but I loved knowing he was capturing more than the "standard" wedding footage and instead focused on finding ways to document the feelings and energy of the day, which is so hard to do. His drone footage MAKES our wedding video, and gives us a perspective on our venue that we'll have forever. When our wedding day had some questionable weather, he was able to help us pivot our first look location with ease, and made the extra effort to get the drone back in the sky after the thunderstorms cleared, knowing how much that footage meant to me. He also worked flawlessly with our photography team despite never having met before, and they clearly respected each other's work and needs, which sadly isn't always the case! Do yourself a favor and book with AP Creative Media- you won't be disappointed!

Anika and Marigolds did an incredible job for our big day. She changed things up after listening to our feedback and then delivered a flawless look! Everyone raved at how beautiful it all turned out and how well it all fit the setting. Even up against cherry blossoms in peak bloom at our venue, Marigolds’ flowered were still standouts. Anika also was able to source locally and worked with an eye toward sustainability, which meant a lot to us. She was a pleasure to work with and I would strongly recommend!

DJ Jared provided much more than the soundtrack to our wedding. He arrived early to ensure the sound for our ceremony - including mics for our officiant and readers. For cocktail hour, he played the perfect mix of classic and contemporary music and was a great emcee for speeches throughout dinner. Once the dance floor opened, he incorporated our must-play songs with some of his own selections, as well as requests from our guests. It all added up to a great night with great energy.

Bill was wonderful for my June 2022 wedding. My hair was just perfect and even survived the unexpected rain. I wanted to feel like myself and Bill helped to create the perfect relaxed, but special half up style I was hoping to achieve. He is kind, funny and professional. You'll be in great hands!
