Awarded Best of Zola
“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.”

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 is hands down the best photographer and truly made both our engagement shoot and wedding day the most memorable days ever!! Erin was very quick to respond to our initial inquiry, and she makes sure she is capturing YOUR vision of how you want your special day to be. My husband and I are both awkward when it comes to getting our picture taken, but Erin made us laugh so much during our engagement shoot (despite the well below freezing temperature in Boston last January) and we quickly felt relaxed and comfortable with her. She kept me calm on my wedding day and I never felt rushed throughout the day.

I want you to rave about your photos.

“We had such a great experience having Kendra as our wedding photographer this August. She is so great at using her surroundings to create fun photo opportunities in the moment. In addition to our awesome portraits, we also snuck away during the reception to take some sunset pictures. The editing/lighting was perfect and were some of my favorite photos we took. For both the wedding and our engagement shoot, the outdoor pictures were fantastic and showed how talented she truly is. We are so thankful to Kendra for capturing such special memories. Choosing Cape Ann Weddings as our photographer was one of the best decisions we made!”

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.

Hi there! I'm Esther, a Canadian-born photographer who feels lucky to have found the love of my life and a treasured home in the beautiful North Shore of Massachusetts. Weddings are an opportunity to capture the unbridled joy and true love that each couple radiates, expressing their unique personalities and qualities. I enjoy celebrating diversity and prioritize clear communication, creativity, and dedication to deliver an enjoyable, effortless and memorable experience for every client. I strive to capture each couple's uniqueness by getting to know them personally.

Awarded Best of Zola
“Choosing Esther was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. If you’ve seen her work, you already know how incredibly talented she is, but what makes her truly special goes far beyond the photos. She is organized, experienced, thoughtful, and has an incredible ability to make everything feel effortless and natural. Esther integrated photography into our wedding day so seamlessly that we never felt like we were being pulled away from the moment. Because we trusted her completely, we were able to be fully present and enjoy every part of our day, which was such a gift. And then there are the photos. They are absolutely stunning. We cannot stop looking through them, smiling, and reliving the day. Every time we try to choose our favorites, we end up with far too many because there are simply so many incredible images. Esther is a professional and a true expert at what she does, but by the end of our wedding, she also felt like family. If there is one part of your wedding you should invest in, let it be working with Esther. We could not recommend her more highly.”

⭐ FOR FASTER REPLIES AND MORE INFORMATION, PLEASE INQUIRE THROUGH MY WEBSITE! ⭐ I’m Jess! I create a thoughtful wedding photography experience that allows couples to feel comfortable, supported, and fully present on their wedding day through candid storytelling and gentle guidance.

“Jess was incredible! As a resident of the Pacific Northwest attempting to plan a wedding in Massachusetts, I didn’t have any idea where to start when it came to finding a photographer. I found her via Zola, which led to her website and instagram. I knew she was the perfect person from her first email response to me. Her email showed that she had read the answers that I had written into her inquiry form on her website and I felt seen, heard and understood. We jumped on a call the next week and immediately knew she was the perfect fit for us. Leading up to the wedding we had one more video call and then had the opportunity to meet in person a few days before the wedding, which I appreciate she took time to do. The day of the wedding, Jess captured our day beautifully while giving us direction on how to pose, how long to kiss etc., and we certainly needed direction and instructions for all of that. She took amazing photos of the ceremony and I didn’t even realize she was there, running around capturing so many moments and memories. We got our preview photos the day she promised and they blew my mind. They were so INCREDIBLE. I cannot say enough good things about Jess. She was the perfect person to capture our perfect day and if I needed to hire a photographer on the East Coast, I would 100% hire Jess, I’d even fly her out to the PNW! Thank you, Jess for everything!”

“We don’t even know where to begin with Nicole!! It was an absolute dream to work with her. Due to unforeseen circumstances (it’s COVID, right?), we were out a photographer one month out from our wedding. Nicole was the first person I messaged on Instagram and I am SO happy she was available. We met over coffee a couple weeks before our wedding since an engagement shoot wasn’t possible for our schedule. We breathed a huge sigh of relief after meeting her, knowing that we would connect with her perfectly. Not to mention, her style of photography and editing is exactly what we wanted. The only time my husband and I really posed was for formal family/couple portraits! The rest of the time, we didn’t even notice her and we got so many gorgeous, candid photos. We got our pictures yesterday, exactly on our one-month anniversary! I was shocked to get that many edited pictures so soon! We cried looking through our sneak peeks (which were delivered day after the wedding) and our full gallery. We felt comfortable, confident, and loved throughout the whole day. She fit perfectly with our intimate wedding, being one of six guests. I can’t recommend Nicole enough; she came in clutch for us, was super flexible with talking/meeting with us, was the best friend we needed day of, and delivered the most gorgeous pictures which such creative vantage points. I’m at a loss for words with how beautiful everything turned out. Thank you so much, Nicole!”

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.

The photos she captured are absolutely stunning—professional and beautifully composed in every way. We were blown away by the quality of her work and felt like we got incredible value for what we paid. We would recommend Jordan to any couple looking for a photographer who truly cares about their 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!”

Available for MICRO-WEDDINGS & ELOPEMENTS only: I’m a Virginia transplant who makes her home north of Boston! 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. We truly appreciate Lorna’s incredible work and the care she put into capturing our day so perfectly.”

“I am so happy I chose Authentically Linds as the photographer for our wedding. Lindsay was easy to communicate with, listened to our vision, and executed it perfectly. Lindsay took the time to set up a call with me to review her THOROUGH questionnaire to ensure she new all the important (and minor) details. On the day of, Lindsay made me and my family feel so comfortable and eased a lot of the anxiety I was having! She knew exactly what to do and I relied on her for direction and reassurance. Lindsay did a phenomenal job of being in 100 places at once in order to get as many shots as possible. She came prepared and had visions/poses ready in her mind, which is evident in the photos she shared with us. We are beyond in love with all of our photos and couldn't have imagined a better experience. Lindsay is so sweet, kind, and creative. I highly recommend her for your special day!”
