To brides or grooms reading this: I hope you are prepared to laugh constantly, while also always feeling heard. I'm always available, and you're literally hiring me to do my favorite thing in the entire world. Oh, also the photos & videos are usually pretty decent too.

From the very first moment we reached out, Johnny stood out. Our initial phone call happened almost immediately after I inquired, and right away he made us feel heard, comfortable, and genuinely excited. He met us exactly where we were in the planning process and truly wanted to get to know us and our vision. By the end of that first conversation, we knew we wanted to move forward with him, put our deposit down, and we’ve been so happy with that decision ever since. As part of our package, we had an engagement session, which completely confirmed that we had made the best possible choice in photographer. The photos were absolutely beautiful, enchanting, romantic, and everything we had hoped for. Johnny’s candid shots are phenomenal. He captures real moments in a way that makes you see how beautiful, funny, kind, and genuine you look through other people’s eyes. Those photos mean the world to us. On our wedding day, Johnny was incredible. He was amazing with our guests… so warm, inviting, and easy to be around. Everyone loved him. Guests were calling him by his first name, talking about how great he was, and even following him on Instagram afterward because they were so excited to see the photos. Having already seen our engagement pictures, we knew our wedding photos were going to be gorgeous, and they absolutely exceeded our expectations. Johnny has become more than just our photographer. He’s become a friend and someone we truly want to keep in touch with over the years. We will absolutely be booking him again for any future photography sessions. We are beyond grateful that we found him and cannot recommend him enough. (I couldn’t upload some other beautiful photos just because the quality was so large and it needed to be under a certain amount of MB, BUT TRUST ME, they are all gold)

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.

NH Images Photography Content was an excellent choice for our wedding photography. From the start, their communication was knowledgeable, efficient, and very understanding of our needs. The quality of their work was truly professional and excellent, capturing all the special moments in an inclusive way. Our photographer was punctual, discreet and very friendly, putting us at ease throughout the day. Our desires were slightly different from standard and our photographer adapted seamlessly, ensuring our wedding day was perfectly documented. We are thrilled with the final photos and highly recommend NH Images Photography Content.

Steve Nisotel Photography

  • 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.

He demonstrated so much passion for the trade and was so invested in making sure he was exactly the photographer we were looking for so we could truly get the most out of our day. " - Steph

Every experience we had with Chris was incredible. On the intro call, we immediately knew Chris was the one for us. He's calm, confident, entertaining, and thoughtful. Although we had cheaper quotes, we knew Chris would be the one to capture the moments for us to cherish for the rest of our lives. And in looking at the photos he captured of our wedding, we were 100% correct. Chris has an incredible eye for wedding magic. He makes everyone feel comfortable in his presence, and we love how candid his photography is. He's wonderful at capturing quiet moments as well as the motion of dance (see his awesome action shots below!). He doesn't just focus on us as a couple - he captured beautiful portraits of our friends and family that immediate bring us back to the moments. Chris's photography is a work of art, a vignette of the most magical days of our lives, and we are so grateful to have chosen Chris as our photographer. If you're looking for an artist to transport you to your most magical day when you look at his photographs, run - don't walk. He books up fast!

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!

Okay where do I even start? Erin is the absolute sweetest, a true gem! My mother in law referred her, and we couldn’t have been luckier. She made Matt and I feel so comfortable and confident the entire day, and even weeks leading up to the wedding day. The one thing I would recommend is hiring her, because your wedding day is the most chaotic overwhelming beautiful experience, and she keeps you cool, calm, collected and fully present. There would be moments where I would get overwhelmed, and she would just remind me to take a deep breath and enjoy it because it truly goes by in a blink! All my girls and Matt’s guys LOVED her she was hilarious and SO bubbly it would just put a smile on everyone’s face! She also was able to control in a calm manner two wedding parties and a large family, which is hard to do! Love love love her, you need her for your special day! I will be using her for all future shoots (maternity; baby, family etc if she allows LOL)

My husband and I had some trepidation around choosing a photographer for our elopement, mainly because we really wanted any photos taken to reflect the two of us, and our relationship, authentically. We wanted intimate, personal, simple, and classic...and we found all of these things in Tessa. 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 would consider myself an innovative thinker, strong team collaborator [for all those ideas you are dying to tell me!], and I am very excited to capture your day!

Jordan was an exceptional wedding photographer. She traveled out to California with us to capture all our special moments. She was prompt, so much fun, got all the shots I wanted and MORE. Her artistic eye and attention to detail really shown through. Post wedding. She sent me a preview of her edited photos. While they were absolutely stunning, I was hoping for a warmer tone on the photos vs cooler tones. She fixed it right away and the photos came out even better than I had imagined. 10/10 experience, I would highly recommend hiring her!

I’m a Virginia transplant who makes her home north of Boston shooting micro-weddings and elopements. 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.

We sought out a few other photographers for our weddings day. But we totally clicked with Lorna and felt comfortable and trusted her with our wedding pictures. We were very confident in her work, and extremely happy with the outcome of our final pictures. Can’t stress how comfortable we were with Lorna and had no concerns in her ability to memorialize our wedding day. She chose some great locations and poses. Love the candid pictures at the event, brings us right back! Use Lorna if you want great pictures with a professional photographer. She blended into the background, but defiantly got the best images.

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!

He was very reasonably priced and an engagement photo session was added to our package. Gary was very familiar with the wedding property so he knew where we would get the best pictures. He was efficient in working through all the family pictures and worked very well with his assistant to cover all angles. At the end of the night, Gary even grabbed us for some pictures with all the lights turned on outside at the barn. He did an amazing job checking to see if we got all the pictures we wanted that night.

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 such a talented photographer and I have been so fortunate to get to know her over last few years. Her work gives such an intimate glimpse into couples and families that she photographs and her edits feel nostalgic, warm and natural! On top of that she has a heart of gold, so honestly, you cannot go wrong. Book her!

I’ve loved photography for as long as I can remember, and I’ve been lucky to make it my life’s work for decades. I specialize in capturing people in their environments, the connections between them, and the small moments that reveal their humanity. Weddings are a favorite because they’re full of real joy, love, and the moments that make life feel alive. My approach blends a documentary eye with a fine art perspective, creating images that feel honest, thoughtful, and true to the people I photograph.

Terri was the perfect choice for our wedding photography. We booked her just one week before our wedding day. Regardless, Terri was prompt and professional in her communication. On the day, Terri guided us through the various shots, capturing the day, the scene, and our outfits with stunning color and light. She put us at ease despite our camera shyness. One of our favorite photos was an unplanned shot of us on my motorcycle as we passed it on the street. Upon seeing it, we instantly knew that it would be the one we frame to capture the day. We were thrilled with her work capturing our elopement and highly recommend Terri.

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
We first hired Emily for our engagement party about six years ago, and she absolutely blew us away. The photos were stunning! Full of life, emotion, and beautifully captured moments. I still look back at them all the time. When I hired someone else for my baby shower, it was a huge regret. The photos didn’t come close to what I had hoped for. I couldn’t stop thinking about how incredible Emily had been, so six years later, I reached out to her again for our maternity shoot… and she nailed it once again. She has a true gift, not just for photography, but for making people feel completely at ease in front of the camera. My husband and I are both naturally awkward when it comes to photos, but Emily somehow brings out the most genuine version of us. She’s hilarious, down to earth, and has this incredible ability to make the entire experience feel fun and effortless. What could’ve been an uncomfortable, stiff shoot turned into one of our favorite memories. I will truly never go to anyone else for photos. Emily is a 10/10, every single time!

My work is vibrant, moment-driven, and authentic. I love focusing on your connection as a couple, what makes you and your wedding unique, and your interactions with family and friends as you celebrate together. My approach to wedding photography leans toward a documentary or photojournalistic style with a fine art element (I graduated from Wellesley College with a degree in studio art). While I might suggest an area with great lighting to stand in, I will never ask you to “pretend” to do anything. Ever.

We met Danielle at an LGBTQ wedding expo while searching for photographer that had experience photographing two dress weddings, a niche market we quickly figured out, and immediately fell in love. Her photos capture the moment and never feel overly posed, which won over my camera shy wife immediately. We did our engagement shoot on the streets of Salem and Danielle managed to capture the love we have for each other and made simple store fronts look like a Christmas wonderland without making the shoot feel like work. By the time we got to our wedding day, we had absolutely no concerns about her ability to capture the day as a single shooter and she definitely didn’t disappoint! She created the most perfect first look so we could take a moment together before the ceremony began, melted into the background and got a million candid photos of our night, set up the PERFECT photo flash dance to get some silly photos of our friend groups, and corralled our blended families for gorgeous group shots.

Hi there! I'm Alisha, a photographer in Boston, MA specializing in weddings, newborns and families. Crazy mix, don't you think? Maybe a little bit, but I love every minute of it! I believe that there is no picture more beautiful than that of someone in love, so I use my skills to capture specifically that – the emotion, the moment, the glow. I strive to create beautiful timeless photos for you to cherish and share for future generations.

Alisha was easily the BEST decision we made for our wedding. Not only is she incredibly talented, but she brings such a calming, grounding presence that gave us peace of mind throughout the entire day. In the months leading up to the wedding she was responsive, organized, and easy to work with. On the wedding day, she was a true professional—adhering to the timeline we created with ease, and never feeling the least bit intrusive. She made sure to capture every photo combination we requested and skillfully wrangled a bridal party of 21 including 3 flower girls, and 2 babies—all with patience and a smile. And the photos?… absolutely stunning! Her eye for composition is exceptional, and every image feels thoughtful, artistic, and timeless. They look like they belong in a magazine and many people have told us so. We received a TON of photos in our gallery. We couldn’t be happier and would recommend Alisha a thousand times over. She exceeded every expectation!
