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 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,000
  • 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.

Awarded Best of Zola
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.

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)

I cannot express enough how grateful we are to have found Chris to capture our special day. However, it goes beyond just that singular day. We had first met with Chris in person for a meet and greet, which I would have never thought to play such an integral role in the process. He demonstrated so much passion for the trade and was already 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. He also took the time to visit the venue after our meeting to get an idea of what he'd be working with. Chris went above and beyond, every step of the way. He even made it a point to come during the rehearsal as well to be even further prepared. Everything flowed organically with his direction which took away so much stress from the day. Professionalism aside, Chris is just a good dude all around. We're so happy to come away from this experience with not only an amazing portfolio of memories, but a passionate and charismatic friend.

I strive to create a stress free experience, so that you can focus on what truly matters — each other and enjoying every second of your wedding day.

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!

Please inquire with Jordan on her website. I am an experienced freelance photographer of 14 years with a passion for capturing life’s precious moments, traveling the world and telling a story through my images. 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 100% understood the assignment when my spouse and I told her we were having a moody, spooky wedding theme. Her endless enthusiasm carried us through the whole planning process and she did it all for a reasonable cost. She got us comfortable in front of the camera right away at our engagement shoot, and let us be ourselves. Additionally, we also had the chance to meet Ash, a videographer who is starting to work with Jordan, who provided us a 10 minute highlight reel wedding video, which also captured the day beautifully, including details the pictures didn't show. Jordan was amenable to making an edit I requested on a few of our portraits as well. Teaser pictures came back in a week and the full gallery appeared within 2 months from our wedding date--super reasonable. I was super impressed with how many details she captured too, despite only having 5 hours to work with. Working with Jordan was an absolute joy, and we recommend her highly!

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 couldn’t have asked for a better photographer! Lorna is responsive, detail-oriented, and genuinely caring about her work. From our very first message, she was thoughtful about every little detail, organized, and full of helpful suggestions that made planning so much easier. On the day of the event, she brought such a calm, kind energy and helped organize everyone’s postures while making it all feel natural and effortless. You can tell she pays close attention to even the smallest, most meaningful moment, the photos turned out absolutely beautiful, natural, timeless, and full of emotion.

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!

For those who are inspired by the past and hopeful for the future. For those looking to create a little bit of future nostalgia.

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.

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.
