Steve Nisotel Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (8 reviews)
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,800
  • Serves Essex, MA

I think there’s a real absence of authenticity in today’s world. Everywhere we look, people are polishing themselves into a perfect image for the internet. But that’s not where the beauty is. The beauty lives in the real moments — the big, loud, messy, emotional, human ones you can’t stage or script. That’s what I chase. Since 2016, I’ve been documenting weddings for couples who want to feel present, relaxed, and fully themselves. I gravitate toward the candid, the unplanned, the way a glance turns into laughter and a quiet moment becomes unforgettable.

Steve Nisotel Photography was an absolute joy to work with for our engagement shoot and wedding day. Their communication style was casual and comfortable, which put us at ease throughout the entire process. The quality of their work was truly exceptional - they have a great candid and documentary-style approach that captured all the smaller, meaningful moments that we'll cherish forever. They worked seamlessly with our schedule and ensured our entire shot list was met, allowing us to be fully present and enjoy our celebration. We couldn't be happier with the beautiful photos that now serve as a timeless reminder of our special day. Highly recommend Steve Nisotel Photography to any couple looking for a talented, creative, and professional photography team.

NH Images Photography + Content

The day after your wedding, will you remember the groom's reaction when he sees his bride for the first time, the emotion on dad's face when he gives his daughter away, the tears that come when vows are said, the laughter during the best man speech, or grandma getting down on the dance floor? You have spent so much time planning for your wedding day and it goes by in a blink of an eye. That's why it is so important to professionally capture the day via photography and content.

From our first conversation with Peter at NH Images Photography Content, we knew we had found the right photographer. He was incredibly organized, creating a detailed timeline that made sure we got all the shots we wanted with our families without any stress. Peter kept things light and had us laughing throughout the day, which made the whole experience feel natural and fun. The turnaround on our photos was quick, and when we finally saw them, we were blown away by how professional and polished everything looked. Working with him was seamless from start to finish, and the quality of his work far exceeded what we expected. We'd recommend NH Images to any couple looking for a photographer who truly cares about capturing their day while making it fun!

YOU'RE GETTING MARRIED. You're about to spend months planning, researching, and investing in a single day that you'll never forget. That's why preserving it is so important.

Chris was amazing to work with. From start to finish, the first phone chat really demonstrated his interest and passion and ability to make us feel comfortable, the wedding day was great and I felt like he captured so many amazing moments while also being able to take lots of candids while we danced and enjoyed ourselves, and the photos we received were amazing. I’ve gotten so many compliments on how beautiful the photos are and how talented our photographer was.

Channing Johnson Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (4 reviews)

  • Starts at $5,000
  • Serves Essex, MA

I have a photojournalism degree from the oldest and most prestigious journalism school in the country. TIME Magazine, The Wall Street Journal, and U.S. News and World Report have all hired me to photograph assignments for them. Whether I’m capturing moments for a national audience or for a single family, I draw on my storytelling background to honor the truth in all moments big and small. My job isn’t to create beauty. My job is to see the beauty already there. All work is personal work.

I am so glad we went with Channing as our wedding day photographer. Photography, particularly in a candid, documentary style, was a big priority for us. Our wedding day album is so incredibly beautiful & unique. Channing captured the emotion of the day so perfectly through super subtle but impactful moments (he also captured gorgeous traditional portraits as well!). He was so lovely to work with day of - calm, collected, communicative, and a fly on the wall that noticed all these tiny moments anyone else might have missed. He delivered our album quickly, which was amazing as we were itching for them! Truly can't recommend him enough if you are looking for a talented photographer for any important event."

Marcela Diaz Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (2 reviews)
Essex, MA
  • Photojournalistic style

Hi, I’m Marcela, a Massachusetts wedding photographer capturing celebrations with a balance of timeless imagery and genuine connection. For the past 7+ years, I’ve documented weddings with an approach that feels natural, intentional, and calm. My goal is to create photographs that look beautiful years from now, while helping you feel fully present on your wedding day. I can’t wait to hear your story.

Having worked in the wedding industry for years, I’ve always appreciated great photography, but it wasn’t until I became a bride myself that I truly understood its value! It’s nearly impossible to take in all of your wedding day, and that's why having someone there to capture not only what you experience, but also the moments you miss, is an extraordinary gift. Seeing photos of our family and friends enjoying the day, candid shots of us laughing and soaking it all in, and quiet moments we didn’t even realize were happening, all of it moved us in ways we didn’t expect. But beyond the images themselves, you need a photographer who understands you, someone you trust implicitly to preserve one of the most meaningful days of your life. Marcela has amazed me with her talent since the very first styled shoot we did together. But what truly sets her apart is her ability to make you feel at ease in front of the camera which, let’s be honest, can feel awkward if you’re not used to it. She has this incredible way of making the process feel natural and effortless, and her eye for capturing the most authentic, candid moments is unparalleled. For my husband and me, those relaxed, unposed shots were what we wanted most and Marcela delivered them beautifully. Even when it came to more formal portraits (which of course you need and want on your wedding day) the experience never felt stiff or staged. She works with ease, efficiency, and kindness, making the entire experience enjoyable and pressure-free. Her ability to adapt to any setting, request, or personality is remarkable. She reads the room intuitively and blends into the background so seamlessly that you often forget she’s there. That’s part of her magic; her presence never disrupts the moment, it enhances it. On a day when all eyes are on you and emotions run high, Marcela helps you stay present. And that presence is reflected in every frame. Her artistry, eye for detail, and signature style were exactly what we hoped for, but more than that, we adore who she is as a person. You spend so much of your day (and the lead-up to it) with your photographer, and having someone who feels like a friend makes all the difference. Marcela has captured our journey from couple’s portraits to engagement photos, our rehearsal dinner, and finally, our wedding day. I feel incredibly lucky to have had her with us during such joyful, unforgettable moments in our lives. Having worked with numerous photographers in the Boston/New England wedding industry, I can say with complete confidence that Marcela is among the best of the best and I couldn't imagine trusting anyone else with our wedding photos. Her talent is undeniable, and your gallery will be nothing short of magical. With all our love and gratitude, Lauren & Matt

Erin Wholley Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (35 reviews)
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $7,000
  • Serves Essex, MA

Visit my Instagram for contact info and more photography! — ErinWholleyPhotography • Weddings are a culmination of love, life, happiness, family history, commitment, art, and so much more. My love for photography and the importance it plays in remembering cherished moments spans decades. Photographs are one of the only tangible items you receive after your wedding day (aside from the memories) to help you relive this time for the rest of your days. I will hype you up all day long to make sure you are enjoying every aspect of your day with your partner— that’s truly what it’s all about!

I'm truly forever grateful that we found Erin and chose her to be our wedding photographer. She captured the exact vision I was hoping for—before I even knew what that vision was myself. Her technical talent goes without saying, but beyond that, she is a true visionary. She approaches each wedding authentically, embracing it as it naturally unfolds and capturing every couple in a way that feels genuine and true to who they are. I can wholeheartedly say this because we brought Erin with us to Tuscany, Italy, for an elopement that was far from a traditional wedding experience. Not only was she one of only two people (alongside our elopement planner) to attend our wedding, but she also felt like family. She celebrated our love while beautifully documenting the happiness, emotion, and uniqueness of our day. Nearly two years later, when we look back at our photos, we can still vividly remember every moment and relive memories that we are so grateful to have preserved for a lifetime. Erin had a big task on her hands, as none of our family members were able to join us for our elopement. Our gallery became their window into one of the most important days of our lives. We received endless praise for both the quality of the images and the way the story of our day was told, and we owe every bit of that to her. She is truly a hidden gem in this industry. The care, intention, and artistry she brings to every wedding are unmatched. I genuinely can't imagine trusting anyone else to capture life's most meaningful moments for us. Choosing Erin was one of the best decisions we made, and I cannot recommend her highly enough.

Hi, I'm Alexis and I am a 27 year old full-time photographer! I joined the wedding industry at the beginning of 2020 (perfect timing right?!) and since then have conquered 100+ weddings. My goal is to make your wedding day a care free, enjoyable experience! I will make sure everything is perfect so that you don't have to. Something I tell all of my clients is that I will feel like one of your close friends because I don't stop talking the entire time! I would love to set up a zoom call to discuss everything you are looking for in your wedding day. Thanks -Alexis

Awarded Best of Zola
Working with Alexis Ann Photography was such a joy from start to finish. Alexis got back to us right away whenever we had questions, and her bubbly energy made the whole planning process feel effortless. On our wedding day, both Alexis and Brendan were phenomenal—they captured so many moments we didn't even know were happening, and every single photo feels warm and genuine. We received our sneak peeks so fast and had much more than we expected. There were a few family photos that I would’ve loved more direction with the spacing between members, but the day was moving fast, it was 85 degrees, and I feel like everyone was getting a little flustered (as normal for family photos they are so overwhelming…those who know, know!!). I cannot wait to see the full album because I know it’ll be a collection of clear, beautiful images that tell the story of our day perfectly. Honestly, Alexis was one of the best vendors we worked with, and we'd recommend her in a heartbeat to any couple looking for a photographer who truly cares. Brendan was her 2nd shooter that we hired alongside with her and he was so comfortable to be around, my husband and I felt we made a new friend instantly. I will definitely be looking for Alexis’ services in the future for any additional celebrations!

I'm Marc Sadowski, a New England wedding photographer with 20+ years of experience capturing weddings across New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Maine, Vermont, and beyond. My approach is candid and documentary — I stay back, watch, and wait for the moments that happen when you forget the camera is there. I learned photography as a photojournalist, where you get one shot or you miss it forever. That instinct drives everything I do on your wedding day.

Marc and his team were an absolute joy to work with! They did an amazing job, capturing the most perfect and beautiful photos for our wedding. They were hardly noticeable while there, and caught moments that we would have never thought to have captured. Marc and his team truly demonstrate what it means to be professional photographers in every sense of the job, and my husband and I highly recommend booking with them!

Tessa always put our vision at the forefront of her work, and she worked with us every step of the planning process to make our elopement seamless. She suggested venues, worked with our busy schedules to coordinate planning meetings, and even served as our officiant. Throughout it all, she was the perfect balance of honesty, warmth, and professionalism, and we would work with her again in a heartbeat. Thank you, Tessa, for everything. You are amazing!

I’m obsessed with the diversity and energy of the city, but also with how easy it is to escape to nature in New England. As an introvert, I definitely need both! I’m married to a handsome fellow creative (of the wordsmithing and storytelling variety) and we love our homebody life together. I’m a photographer because I think people are fascinating. Because memories are fleeting. Because we all need some beauty around us to help us remember how incredibly blessed we are to be alive.

If you are looking for a photographer who really cares about the people she works with, takes great pictures and awesome to work with then Lorna is your person! When searching for a proposal photographer I was looking for someone that would be easy to communicate with and Lorna was just that and more! We scheduled a meet over Zoom, so she could get to know me and see if there was any questions I had for the day of the proposal. I enjoyed this as it helped me get to know more about the person who would be working with me on such an important moment. The day of the proposal she kept in contact with me up until we arrived at the location which I appreciated. Lorna even helped calm my nerves assuring me the location was correct as she arrived early to prepare (I never been and was afraid we might be at the wrong building) We absolutely loved the images when we received them! I appreciated she kept me updated on when we would be receiving the images and the pictures were awesome. We loved how she was able to capture our special moment and were so happy to see how great the pictures turned out. I would definitely recommend Lorna for anyone who is looking for a photographer. She was very nice, great communicator, and you can tell she truly cares and was happy for us. Thank you so much Lorna for helping us with our special moment.

I don’t even know where to begin with Jess and her team. We chose to do photo and video and I am obsessed with everything we got. The photos are absolutely stunning and our video is filled with such an incredible amount of little details it’s like I see something new every time I watch it, I was worried that having a 4 person team at a 40 person wedding would be overwhelming but it was like we didn’t even know they were there. Jess was amazing the entire planning process and I know the photos and videos will be treasured in my family forever. Jess and her team clearly love what they do and truly seem to care about making your day as wonderful as possible. If you’re hesitating to book her, do it. You won’t regret it.

Unlike many husband and wife photography teams, we were not high school sweethearts. We also didn’t know each other in college, or even live in the same country when we fell in love with photography. Instead, we started as friendly competitors. It took about four years until that competition turned into something more than discussing tricks of the trade. Eventually, we won each other over and joined forces.

We cannot recommend Gaby and Dave enough as wedding photographers! They made us feel so comfortable and at ease. Their professionalism, kindness, and attention to detail were exceptional. They truly went above and beyond to capture every moment, ensuring that no special memory was missed. The photos turned out absolutely stunning, and each one tells the perfect story of our wedding day. We felt completely taken care of, and we couldn’t be happier with how they helped make our day unforgettable. They even made sure to get a couple outside pictures by the water on one of the windiest days. If you’re looking for photographers who are not only talented but also genuinely care about making your experience amazing, Gaby and Dave are the ones to choose!

From the moment we booked Photography Your Way, Gary and his team were nothing short of exceptional. They were immediately responsive, efficient, and answered all of our questions leading up to the big day. On our wedding day, Gary brought such incredible energy and enthusiasm, spending plenty of time with all of our guests - especially the bridal party - capturing so many fun and memorable moments. The final photos were absolutely stunning and exceeded our expectations. Gary has captured several weddings for my family in the past, and it was a no-brainer to hire him to preserve the beauty of our special day. We are thrilled with the work Photography Your Way provided and would highly recommend them to any couple planning their wedding.

Hi there! I’m Alexandria, a wedding and lifestyle photographer based in the Boston area. I’ve been in love with storytelling through photos since I picked up my first camera at just eight years old. My goal is simple: to create timeless, authentic images that reflect the joy, love, and little in-between moments that make your day uniquely yours. Before I turned my focus to weddings, I built my career photographing red carpets and editorials for Popstar! and Cosplay Culture Magazine, where I had the chance to work with artists like One Direction, Bella Thorne, and Stephen Baldwin.

Alex graciously shot our engagement and post-engagement festivities and did a fantastic job capturing the weekend. Alex is incredibly professional - she already scouted the locations and knew where to shoot, while still provided a fun and carefree experience. She brought a creative energy that made the photo session feel relaxed and enjoyable. The final photos were absolutely beautiful - timeless shots that captured all the special moments of our engagement weekend. The quick turnaround was also impressive, as we received the full gallery shortly after the event. AKM Photography came prepared, knew exactly where to shoot for the best lighting and backdrops, and were a pleasure to work with from start to finish. We couldn't be happier with the photos that will help us remember our engagement weekend forever.

Caroline Giuliano Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (6 reviews)
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $7,500
  • Serves Essex, MA

I’m a photographer for people who don’t resonate with traditional wedding photography. For those who want their weddings to be told like a story that features every bear hug, belly laugh, stolen glance, spilled drink, booty shake, and happy tear. For those who prioritize genuine and unscripted moments over trends and shot lists. For those who don’t want to feel like they’re wasting their day posing for the camera. For those who are inspired by the past and hopeful for the future. For those looking to create a little bit of future nostalgia.

Caroline is not only a professional through and through - he is a delight to be around! Working with her on a wedding last season was seamless and FUN. She made the couple, the entire vendor team, and all guests feel so comfortable. Her approach is laid back with the right amount of guidance and the result is exceptionally beautiful and authentic photos. Her deliverables are timely and timeless - I promise you'll love every photo. I can't recommend Caroline enough to any couple who is looking for romantic and authentic wedding photos and a photographer who quickly becomes a friend!

Hi, I’m Emily! I’m a wedding photographer for the wildly in love, the offbeat romantics, and the couples who value a good laugh as much as a good love story. My style? Vibrant, true-to-color images that feel as timeless as your favorite song and as honest as your vows. I edit with intention – keeping skin tones real, colors rich, and moments full of life.

Awarded Best of Zola
I worked with Thistle & Dagger a little while ago on a fantasy elf shoot. Emily is did a fantastic job making me feel confident in my skin, especially because I was nervous as it was something I hadn’t done before. There were a lot of laughs and a lot of jokes. She literally made this entire shoot a fun, confident-inducing shoot. I plan to do more with her in the future.
