We used Sara as the day of coordinator for our wedding at The White Room in Worcester and I cannot say enough good things about her. We began meeting about a month before the big day and had weekly check in's where she made sure that I was on track and getting everything done that needed to be handled. On the day she helped my parents with set up, ensured everyone was where they needed to be and fielded all questions from vendors and guests. The guests raved about the whole experience, and as far as I know literally nothing went wrong, and if it did, Sara handled it like a pro because I never found out!

Kansla Photography (Natalie) was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding day. From the start, her communication was fast, flexible, and highly effective, making the planning process a breeze. The quality of her work was exceptional - they captured the day with a confident, special touch that left us feeling so grateful. Natalie went above and beyond to help coordinate our small wedding party right before the ceremony, and she was incredibly patient and kind with both sides of our somewhat chaotic family members and groups! Throughout the entire planning process, Natalie was a true partner, listening to our needs and making sure my fiance and I were the top priority. We couldn't recommend her more highly for any couple looking for a talented, personable photography team to bring their wedding vision to life. Lastly, Natalie has extremely competitive prices for the wedding industry. Not only did she travel across the entire country for our big day, her travel pricing was more competitive than anyone I could find locally in Seattle and the quality of her work was even higher than the local options I found.

Maria and Scott were such a pleasure to have with us throughout our big day and they brought great energy - they made us laugh and reminded us to just be ourselves.

SYB Catering & Bar Services 

5.0

  • Caterer
  • Serves Essex, MA

We take pride in providing exceptional service and incredible cuisine from around the world! Our authentic multicultural offerings set us apart, allowing couples the freedom to fuse different cultural cuisines to create a unique and personalized experience for their guests.

About 5-6 months before our wedding, our original caterer re-quoted our pricing that I had signed over a year ago and it had increased by almost 15k! I was so distraught and stressed, as you can imagine. Luckily I found Soraya through a Facebook wedding group after I had asked for a second opinion. SHE SAVED MY WEDDING DAY. My husband and I are Cambodian and Chinese and trying to find any upscale asian caterer in the NorthShore was darn near impossible. I had my heart set on an upscale multi-course asian banquet menu. We ended up with 10 courses! Soraya made it happen and all the food was made on site at our venue in Peabody (the Olio). Our guests could not stop raving about how delicious everything was! To think I almost went with drop catering as I thought that was my only option. Thank goodness I found Soraya! As anyone who has ever thrown a big event knows, the food will make or break an event. And Soraya's food MADE our wedding a huge success. Soraya made sure fried foods were crispy, hot foods were HOT, and each table service was flawlessly delivered. Even our foodie families were happy with the food and were so surprised at how authentic everything tasted. We had menu items that were Chinese and Cambodian. I would hire Soraya and her team again, and again, and again. She kept me at ease and made sure everything was flawlessly executed. THANK YOU again for everything Soraya. You have mine and my families deepest appreciation.

  • Serves Essex, MA

Hi, I'm Kate! I am a full time photographer based in RI. I photograph hybrid 35mm film and digital portraits. I travel throughout New England and love working with fun, adventurous couples. Most of my work has a very natural feel to it. I capture moments, making for a very lighthearted, low stress day. I am a roll-with-the-punches sort of person, which comes in handy since no wedding day ever goes totally to plan! I focus on the joy, laughter, gratitude and everything in between! We’ll probably go adventuring a bit to get some really cool shots. We will definitely laugh a lot. Sound good? Check out my portfolio or get in touch to chat more!

If you’re considering booking Polar Square Designs, just do it! Kate was so responsive, professional, helpful and flexible. Neither my husband nor I love having our photos taken (especially in public) but Kate made us feel totally comfortable on our engagement shoot at the beach and we ended up with some incredible shots. The turnaround time to get our whole gallery back was so quick. Leading up to our wedding, Kate’s questionnaire helped us nail down what shots we really wanted and the timeline she came up with was very helpful! On our wedding day, Kate and the second shooter Allison worked together so well and made sure we got all the shots we wanted! Everything flowed perfect and they did an amazing job capturing our best day ever! We received a bunch of “sneak peek” images less than 24 hours after our wedding and they’re all so good! Kate’s creativity and skill are evident in the results. I highly recommend Polar Square Designs!

Hello hello! My name is Marie and I am the owner and photographer for Wild Elegance. We are a brand for adventurers, for lovers of life, and genuine people who love those little moments between the moments in life and seek out truth over perfection. Your marriage is unique because of the relationships you have with the people you choose to celebrate with. Spending my day with you and your closest family and friends brings me such joy, and creating art out of some of the best moments of your life is something I am truly honored to be a part of for so many.

Awarded Best of Zola
Knowing how much of a financial investment a wedding photographer was going to be, I did not take my decision lightly. I reached out to several companies and had several questions when determining who would be the right fit. And I have to say, Marie was by far the most understanding and compassionate during that process. While many photographers seemed annoyed by the (many) questions I would ask before booking, Marie was patient and very thoughtful with her responses -- she even took time to arrange a phone call with me while traveling! And during that phone call, she made sure I didn't feel rushed and that she answered all questions I had fully, it truly felt like I was talking to a friend. That was when I made the decision to book with Marie. Beyond that, when booking the session for our Engagement photos, she brought several creative and adventurous ideas to the table and had the PERFECT locations to take us to. We had a blast together. I would recommend Marie to anyone looking for a photographer who is friendly, compassionate, accommodating and just a joy to be around.

Carl Walsh Weddings

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves Essex, MA

Maine Wedding Photographer Carl Walsh has been a professional photojournalist for more than three decades. He has shot for the nation’s top publications including The Boston Globe, National Geographic Traveler, New York Times, Smithsonian, Time magazine, US News & World Report and many others. For more than two decades Carl has been utilizing the same skill and proficiency, which earned the trust of these prestigious publications, to dynamically document wedding day festivities for couples across New England and the country. Capturing love and human emotion has always been one of his greatest inspirations in photography.

Since I had worked as a newspaper journalist in Maine for 25 years, I knew Carl Walsh's work - and knew he was a talented photographer adept at getting beautiful, candid portraits in a short amount of time. But since David and I only had an hour for our outdoor wedding before our dinner reservation, I was not expecting Carl to deliver so many incredible images. Chiefly because Carl faced other challenges. To start, we got married at the outset of Covid-19 in a very small ceremony in which we had to social distance from my 84-year-old mother-in-law, who was fighting lung cancer. Add to that the fact Barbara hated having her photo taken. And then there was the gusting coastal wind that kept blowing my hair in my face. But in Carl’s photos, you don’t see any of that - just dozens of tack-sharp images of beautiful moments filled with tenderness and laughter. He turned our special day into art. And he did so seamlessly, quietly, confidently, and with a kind, happy spirit that added to the day's magic.

Hello, I'm Tonya. I am a documentary wedding, boudoir & lifestyle photographer with an editorial approach based in Fairfield County, Connecticut. At the heart of my work, you will find authentic connection & composition, some of the most important things to me as an artist. I build on that with honest storytelling with a more editorial approach. My inspiration lies in authentic human connection & emotions, pockets of light, vintage film, movement, honest interactions, vibrant colors found in nature, fog after a rainfall. Finding beauty in the most ordinary things.

Tonya's work is unbelievable. The fog that rolled in for our ceremony made it hard to see just a few feet in front of us, but her pictures came out stunning. She's a great communicator, detail-oriented and really made us feel comfortable in front of the camera. She sent us a day-of timeline and helped plan out what photos we would like in advance. We got back a preview album sent to us like 2 days after our wedding! We also did an engagement shoot with her before our wedding, which really made us excited for our big day.

I have been happily photographing weddings for over 13 years...I started my career in the NH north country and the business expanded from year to year by word of mouth. I am well known for blending in your wedding day experience seamlessly. I engage with couples and families to ensure everything is moving along smoothly and all are having a fun time. Photos are very important in your day and something that you will look back upon as the years pass. I love what I do, I'm good at what I do. I don't over process the final product. I am married with kids living in Southern New Hampshire the last 8 years.

Mark was such a pleasure to work with. From our first call with him a year before the big day, he was easy to get in touch with and always friendly. We also did our engagement shoot with him which turned out beautiful, and our wedding was no different! He got the most beautiful shots of our big day and had even sent us a few to look at that evening! We got our entire gallery very quickly and could be more happy with them. I’d recommend Mark (and Peterson, the videographer that he works with) any day!

Hey, hey! I'm Jess. Your couples, wedding, & elopement photographer here to kick the fun up a notch with photoshoot experiences that bring out your sweet side. -Relentlessly checking flight prices on Google to plan my next trip -Oooing and ahhhing over my own chocolate chip cookie recipe (What can I say, it’s seriously the BEST.) -Two words: SCARY MOVIES -Being your built-in wedding bestie -Grabbing a cozy drink at Barnes & Noble with my boyfriend and reading for hours on end

Jess was not only a master behind the camera, but also a true professional and a genuinely amazing person. She is clearly passionate about her work and her attention to detail is second to none. I can’t even begin to tell you how incredible all of the photos are. I literally can’t stop looking at these photos! She captured my daughter’s day like no one else could have. I don’t think that I could ever thank her enough. She was also able to take command of every moment, which is sometimes difficult to do with a large bridal party. She also has an uncanny ability to make everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera. If you’re looking for a photographer that can capture precious moments with stunning photos then Jess is the one. I would recommend her anyone in the area. She is just incredible!!

Hi! I'm Molly, owner of At Least, There Will Be Cake. With a background in pastry and a love of cake from my grandmother I opened my in-home bakery in 2017. My passion is to create delicious cakes with unique designs to enhance your special day of celebration.

Awarded Best of Zola
Molly made the wedding cake of our dreams! She is so creative and talented with flavors and the presentation is always perfect. We cannot recommend At Least There Will Be Cake enough. We have ordered mother's day cakes, birthday cakes, etc and they are always incredible. I've eaten a lot of cake and she is by far the best around. 12/10. Thank you Molly!
