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.

Steve was incredible to work with from start to finish! We had a very low-key and DIY elopement and he got us instantly. His manner in initial calls was warm and eager to learn about what we wanted and who we were as a couple, ongoing planning with him was always super clear, and on the day of he made us feel completely at-ease. His eye is incredible, and he not only managed to get very natural shots while working around every possible jogger on the esplanade but also was an absolute joy to work with.

"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 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

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.

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.

Johnny and Alegre from So Behold This Inc. were the perfect wedding photographers for our special day! From the very first interaction, Johnny’s communication was professional, prompt, and caring, putting my husband and I at ease throughout the entire process. The quality of his work is authentic ( which is hard to find nowadays)! He sent us 23 photos the night of the wedding, completely edited ( what other photographer do you know that does that?!). Both of them were pleasurable, enthusiastic, and truly an asset to our special day. They were easy to work with and so attentive, contributing to our wedding day being seamless and more perfect than we could have imagined. I couldn't have asked for a better duo to capture the love and joy of our celebration. So Behold This Inc. is absolutely AMAZING and I highly recommend them to any couple planning their wedding!

As the mother of the bride, I wanted everything perfect for my daughter and this team delivered more than I ever dreamed. The photos of her walking down the aisle with her dad had me sobbing all over again. I loved that they included shots of me fixing her dress and us laughing together. The video is something we’ve already watched like 10 times as a family. They captured the beauty of the ceremony and the FUN of the reception equally well. The shots of everyone dancing are hilarious and heartwarming at the same time. You can feel the energy of that night just by looking at the photos. The editing is beautiful but still feels natural. Nothing looks overdone, it just feels like US. These memories are going to stay with us forever and I am just so thankful for their talent.

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!

Erin Wholley Photography was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding, I'd recommend her to everyone!!. When looking for our photographer, we knew we wanted someone who would make us feel comfortable since we're both not used to being in front of the camera. Erin spoke to exactly what we were looking for and we knew that from our first intro phone call. Her communication is flexible but direct and she is incredibly knowledgeable in her work and this industry. She is exactly what we needed during the stressful planning process. Our package included a complimentary engagement photo session and this was by far one of the best decisions we made! Erin knew the exact vibe we were going for and captured it effortlessly. Nothing felt forced or awkward, it seemed like 3 friends getting drinks and strutting around Boston, the only difference is we have AMAZING pictures to document it all! On the day of our wedding, Erin seamlessly immersed herself into our wedding party and families to capture all the special moments, while still providing guidance and structure to ensure we not only looked our best but got the shots we were hoping for. The photos we received back were stunning - the quality is truly breathtaking. Her mix of digital and film photos are so unique and timeless.

Kirsten did a wonderful job of making us feel comfortable. My wife and I don’t take photos of ourselves and can feel awkward posing but Kirsten made things instructional and easy to follow without being self-conscious. I really appreciated her conscientiousness regarding small talk because she was so pleasant to talk with but also gave us plenty of room to breathe after such a big moment. We’re incredibly happy with how our photos turned out and would highly recommend her!

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’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.

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
It was an incredible day made all the better with Matao. I feel like it might be hard to find a photographer that *really* picks up on what you're going for and we nailed it with him. He is up for an adventure and the occasional challenge (including cellphone photographer family members, lol)! Matao's wife and assistant Danielle and second photographer Brooke were so lovely and took note of so many maybe otherwise forgotten details, things I wouldn't have even thought of as great pictures. We wanted someone with a deep connection to the city we live in and love, with a great sense of humor, and could roll with the punches and occasional quick change of plans that happen with a wedding, and we truly could not recommend him highly enough. We will treasure our photos forever.

I knew following that experience she would, without a doubt, be the photographer for my wedding (as long as I booked her before someone else snatched her up!). Besides being in awe seeing how perfect all of the pictures came out, what stood out to me in particular was her ability to keep the day moving so seamlessly, capturing all of the details/emotions/moments while keeping everyone and everything organized. Also while making it fun! This was consistent with my wedding day as well, showing how much of a professional she is…she is so great at what she does. Her skills make the difference, she has a way of making you feel comfortable and stress free…. we had SO much fun working with her at both our engagement shoot and on our wedding day.

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 had a great initial phone call with Gaby and decided to book Gaby and David for our engagement shoot. There was constant communication and we loved their attitude leading up to the pictures. Our engagement shoot was so much fun and it allowed us to relax and lean into their advice. The pictures turned out beautiful and we can't wait to have them at our wedding! Highly recommend

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.

My fiance and I had a great experience working with Caroline for our engagement photo mini session! I was amazed at how many moments she was able to capture in a short 20 minute session. The edited photos are beautiful- the romantic style is just perfect. We almost didn't do engagement photos, but I'm so glad that we had Caroline capture this exciting time. Plus her easygoing personality meant we had fun doing it!

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.

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.

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 extremely personable and professional. She was understanding when things came up and kept me calm when schedule started shifting significantly. She even helped me get in to my dress which is beyond her duties! Would highly recommend this sweet photographer to anyone. She was so kind to all of my bridal party and guests. She was the perfect balance between going with the flow but putting the hammer down on us to stay on task. We all loved her! Her love for Maine gave us confidence that she would capture everything we love about Maine, not just our wedding photos of the people!
