Maya Lovro Photography 

5.0

  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $6,200
  • Serves Essex, NY for additional fees

My name is Maya (they/them), and I'm a queer, love-obsessed photographer operating out of Pennsylvania and traveling all over. I specialize in weddings and elopements, especially non-traditional, LGBTQ+, and multicultural celebrations. I am the 'picnic elopement in the woods' or 'weekend campsite celebration' or 'screw it, let's get married at a Waffle House' photographer.

Awarded Best of Zola
I could not have asked for a better photographer in any respect. Maya is extremely communicative, warm, welcoming, and excellent at what they do. I was incredibly nervous selecting a photographer because I had no idea what I was doing. During my first meeting with Maya, they put me completely at ease and walked me through the process, their photography philosophy, figured out what my spouse and I would/wouldn’t like in our photos, and even helped us get a sense of how our day’s timeline would go. Since we planned the entire wedding ourselves, their help even from this first meeting was invaluable. Maya and their partner the day-of were an absolute blast to have at the event. Even the usual stiff family formal photos felt fun and organic with their guidance, and they were always up for impromptu shots and suggestions. They make sure that their work is organic, dynamic, and really captures the essence of the couple’s relationship. I asked them to use my Polaroid alongside their professional gear and they were really enthusiastic about the prospect, so now I have a set of excellent Polaroids in addition to their amazing high definition work. My spouse and I will absolutely be going back to Maya in the future for more photography. Some advice: Don’t waste your time shopping around with other photographers. If you’ve found Maya, you’ve found the perfect wedding photographer.

Golden Scroll Soloists 

5.0

  • Ceremony only
  • Serves Essex, NY for additional fees

The Golden Scroll Soloists have been wowing Northeast audiences with a variety of styles for 20 years, melding familiar songs you love into an elegant string quartet experience. We helped popularize the "crossover string quartet", much like the Vitamin String Quartet, during the early days of classical crossover. Our style, now made mainstream by Bridgerton, predated the Netflix hit show by 15 years. We're ready to play for your ceremony, your cocktail hour, or maybe even your reception. Choose from a string quartet, string trio, string duo, or violin soloist. Let's start planning the soundtrack to your happily ever after!

We had the Golden Scroll Soloists perform for our ceremony and cocktail hour at our wedding at OceanCliff this past April, and they were absolutely incredible! From the very beginning, Kevin was so responsive and made the entire process seamless. He provided curated playlists to make things easy, but also gave us the option to customize by selecting individual songs and listening to clips right on their website which we really appreciated. We chose the trio, and it was the perfect fit. We mixed modern songs with some timeless classics, and they brought it all to life beautifully. Our guests kept commenting on how unique and elegant the music was. We couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out and would highly recommend Golden Scroll Soloists to anyone looking for live music for a wedding or special event. Truly a highlight of our day!

  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style

  • Serves Essex, NY for additional fees

Gabbie Burseth grew up documenting everything and saving mementos in empty Christmas boxes. After studying at the Grady School of Journalism at the University of Georgia, she discovered an affinity for weddings and their accompanying treasures. Her philosophy as a wedding photographer is to observe with as little interference as possible — no faking it, no do-overs, no “for the camera”. Her biggest desire is for couples to be present at their wedding, not stuck in a photoshoot. Her work is punctuated by rich and vibrant color, the timeless quality of analog film, and a sense of humor found in fleeting moments.

Awarded Best of Zola
We had the pleasure of working with Gabbie for both our engagement photos as well as our day-of wedding photos. 12/10 recommend working with her for both. We had such a fun time working with Gabbie and the photos turned out amazing. She went out of her way to get to know us as a couple during our engagement photo session, and you can tell she kept it all in mind on the day of our wedding. She worked hard to make sure all the special moments were captured, both portraits and candids that we had requested.

I'm a traveling elopement and wedding photographer based out of Louisville, Colorado. I photograph with my whole heart, meaning that, yeah, I'll probably shed a tear or two at your wedding. Capturing the real love of my couples is what's most important to me. I love working with couples to create images that represent their authentic and raw adoration for one another. Outside of your big day, I love tagging along with both of you on a date to the white mountains or even just drinking hot coffee and laughing on cold winter days. I am passionate about capturing a real & unrestrained version of my clients.

Becky shot our November 2021 Engagement photos and our August 2022 wedding in the white mountains, and we couldn't have been happier! She is a true angel! From day one, Becky was professional, down to earth, and put me and my camera-shy fiance right at ease. At our wedding, she directed our chaotic friends/family members, fixed my veil several times for me, bonded with our friends, worked seamlessly along side our DJ and Venue coordinators, and had us smiling and laughing the whole night. She truly helps make you feel so at-ease especially if you are "awkward" in front of a camera. Her eye for frames and photos is unmatched. She returned our photos within 3 weeks after our wedding, and they were all stunning. Overall she is amazing!! You need to hire Becky!! 3

Authentic moments and real love stories. Wedding photos that feel like you. For me, the most important part of your wedding day is that you enjoy it. I have 10+ years and 200+ weddings of experience, and I genuinely love my job. Queer/LGBTQ+ friendly - always.

First of all, Sasha is one of the only photographers that I work with. As a performing musician, I am very self conscious, have a lot of imposter syndrome, and can be really uncomfortable putting my own image out there. I have worked with Sasha consistently for my artist portraits because she knows how to help me get over those aspects and get the best out of me. When it came time to pick a photographer for my wedding, it was a no brainer. Sasha is patient, personable, and has SUCH an eye for lighting and color. I recommend her to anyone and everyone!

Hello there new friend! My name is Jo and it is SO great to meet you! I am a wedding, elopement... and pretty much all things love- photographer based in the incredible city of Boston, Massachusetts! I'm a hopeless romantic at heart! And if there's one thing in this life that I absolutely adore, it's a GOOD love story. If I had to pick a second thing, it would be working with couples that are authentic, joyful, and unapologetically themselves. So as you can imagine, weddings and elopements are my absolute FAVORITE! Joining along on the happiest day of your life is a dream, and I adore all the moments I get to share with my couples!

Hiring Jo as our wedding photographer was the best decision! She is incredibly talented and delivered incredibly high quality, beautiful photos and captured our wedding day perfectly. We went with her 8 hour package and added a second shooter as well. Jo delivered our FULL album early and her photography style is exactly what we wanted. Jo expertly handled family photos which can be challenging, but she was organized and direct and made the experience efficient. Our guests kept commenting on how amazing she was and seeing the final album blew us away. One of our guests commented that our photos looked like they were "straight out of a Vogue wedding feature" and that's all because of Jo's eye and talent. I highly recommend working with Jo to anyone in the Boston/MA area because of her incredible talent, her professionalism and her organization throughout the day!

Your culture, style, love languages, and family dynamic play a huge role in how I approach your wedding. This is why I always schedule a call prior to booking!

We are beyond grateful and overjoyed to have had Josie and Alex capture our wedding day!!! From the moment they arrived, it felt like we were hanging out with old friends, who just happen to be insanely talented photographers. This alone made us feel so much more at ease. We never felt rushed or awkwardly staged. Their presence was warm, calming, and full of joy, and they truly became part of our crew for the day. They documented every laugh, every tender exchange, and all the beautiful in-between moments with such an artful eye, on both film and digital. Their documentary style allowed us to be completely ourselves, and somehow they transformed those raw, candid moments into timeless pieces of art. After receiving our photos, we were able to fully appreciate Alex and Josie’s talent. We got to relive our entire wedding day—and see all the moments we didn’t even realize were being captured (those were my absolute favorites). I never thought I could love every photo from the wedding, I not only love them im obsessed with all of them. On the day itself, we never imagined taking photos could be so fun and effortless, but they made every second feel natural, meaningful, and completely stress-free. They poured so much heart and hard work into every part of the day, and we feel so seen, supported, and celebrated because of it. We can’t thank them enough for these beautiful memories—not just in the photos themselves, but in how they made us feel. If you’re looking for photographers who will not only capture your story beautifully but go above and beyond to reflect your essence, look no further :)

Photography truly has a full grip on my soul– I love EVERYTHING about capturing special moments to be forever held in time! I consider my style to be way more candid, as I truly adore capturing an authentic experience that is almost tangible to the person viewing the photo.

Shannon and Ally have a true talent for capturing emotional moments without ever getting in the way.

Love Tempo by DJ Ceviche was incredible for our wedding. From our first interaction, their communication was on top of everything and very easy going, which helped with a smooth planning process. On the day of, they were an absolute pleasure to work with - they went the extra mile above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly. All of my guests commented on how much they loved Tiger, the DJ, and how great the music was all night. The value they provided was incredible - they are such kind and talented humans. I highly recommend Love Tempo to any couple looking for a top-notch DJ for their wedding.

I'm Charissa owner & lead planner. My doormat says it best, 'running on coffee, wine, and the dog's time', but seriously I start every intro call with the disclaimer that you may hear the barking, snoring, or a squeaky toy in the background. I'm the twenty-something-year-old that's gone from throwing "Weddings" in her neighbor's driveway, to throwing them in some pretty amazing spaces. With over a decade of experience in weddings and corporate events, this isn't my first rodeo. Weddings are sort of my thing!

Simply Loved Weddings was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. From the moment we met Charissa, we were impressed by her calm, direct, and easygoing communication style. She truly listened to our vision and was able to elevate it through her organized, efficient, and trustworthy approach. Charissa went above and beyond, checking in with us multiple times to ensure everything was running smoothly. On the day of, we were able to simply enjoy ourselves, confident that Charissa and her team had everything under control. As far as we know, the entire event went off without a hitch, thanks to their incredible coordination and delegation skills. We cannot recommend Simply Loved Weddings highly enough!
