“We booked George to capture our wedding day at an outdoor venue in northern MA. As a photographer myself I have high standards when it comes to photos, so I was very selective when making my choice. But I'm happy to report that we made a great choice with George as his work is top notch. Before the wedding we had 2 phone calls to plan out the many scenes we'd want him to capture. We also shared some light guidance on editing style, which he happily incorporated. On the day of the wedding George arrived promptly (early even, which was good) despite the fact he was driving many hours from CT. George did a great job making people feel comfortable in front of the camera. He seemed very experienced as throughout the day he seamlessly transitioned from the foreground to the background as needed. He was never in the way, but always nearby and ready to jump in and capture whatever was happening. He also captured a variety of types of shots, from the wide, establishing shots to the perfectly composed closeups of intimate moments - with lots of extra detail shots and plenty of candids too. For the ceremony in particular, he displayed his great eye and quick reaction time to document every moment and every angle, including crowd reactions. He came well prepared too with 2 Sony mirrorless cameras and a large off-camera flash to ensure even lighting. From our 8-hour shoot he provided over 1,400 fully edited photos (each 61MP) via a Google Drive download link. We were extremely please with the quality and speed of our portfolio (fully delivered within 2 weeks). On top of that, George happily provided me with the full edited portfolio in TIFF file format, per my request. The file sizes are much larger so I gave him a 512GB USB drive which he loaded and shipped back to me. I really can't say enough good things about George. So just book him now and I know you'll be pleased with the results!”

Hi, I'm Cristiane! I'm the photographer behind Cristiane Dugan Studio, and I'm all about capturing the moments that make your wedding feel uniquely you. I believe the best photos happen when you're fully present—laughing, crying, dancing, and celebrating with the people you love most. I'll guide you when you need it, step back when the moments unfold naturally, and make sure you feel comfortable in front of the camera every step of the way. If you're looking for timeless, true-to-color images with a relaxed and fun experience, I'd love to celebrate with you!

“If there’s one vendor I would choose all over again, it would be Cristiane for our wedding photos. Cris was not only incredibly professional, flexible, and thoughtful, but she also became part of our ceremony in such a lovely way. They also delivered our photos faster than I ever expected. So happy with everything.”

Hi, I'm Danielle (but you can call me Danie) I’ll let you in on a little secret—I don’t love my wedding photos. And while I loved the day, I didn’t connect with my photographer, and it shows. That’s why, as your photographer based in Massachusetts, I prioritize getting to know you as a couple and helping you feel comfortable from the first moment we connect. Because when you feel good, your photos will shine. I'll capture the moments that matter, big and small, and I'll do it in a way that's relaxed, authentic, and true to your vision.

Awarded Best of Zola
“Choosing Danielle Littles Photography was truly one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From our very first conversation, she just got it. I came to her with ideas, inspiration, and a general vibe I wanted, and she immediately took everything and ran with it in the most creative, thoughtful way. She has such a natural eye for composition and storytelling that I felt completely confident putting our memories in her hands. One of the things I appreciated most about Danielle is how comfortable she makes everyone feel. She’s warm, friendly, and genuinely fun to be around, but she’s also not afraid to step in and give clear direction when needed—because let’s be honest, most of us don’t know what to do with our hands in photos. She struck that perfect balance of keeping things relaxed while making sure everyone looked amazing. Even the people in our group who normally hate having their photo taken ended up talking about how great she was. Danielle was incredibly communicative during the entire planning process. She checked in, asked thoughtful questions, clarified timelines, and made sure we were all on the same page well before the big day. She arrived right on time with everything organized, calm, and ready to go—exactly what you want in a wedding vendor. She also shot our engagement photos, and those were equally stunning. The consistency in her quality is unreal. And the turnaround time? Absolutely incredible. I’m used to hearing that wedding photos can take months, but Danielle delivered ours so quickly that even one of my friends who works in the wedding industry commented on how impressed she was. Looking back at our photos, I’m struck by how beautifully she captured not just the big moments, but the small, emotional ones—the glances, the smiles, the gestures that made the day feel like us. I genuinely started wondering how I could plan another event just to have her photograph it. If you want a photographer who cares deeply about her work, listens to your vision, elevates it, and makes the entire experience fun and stress-free, you cannot go wrong with Danielle Littles Photography. She is a true talent and such a joy to work with.”

For as long as I can remember, I’ve felt most at home when I was creating art. I fell in love with photography at the age of 13, when I realized I could create art out of the moments that were already happening around me. Fast forward a bit...I've now been working as a professional photographer for over 5 years, and have had the pleasure of shooting many gorgeous weddings all over New England. I love capturing bold, fun, colorful, creative, and authentic images that you can look back at with an enormous smile on your face for years to come.

Awarded Best of Zola
“We worked with Ari for both our engagement photos as well as our wedding itself. She was a dream to work with - extremely creative and insightful when capturing our images, and so kind while working with and around our dog who was involved in both shoots. The care and thought she puts into working with you and capturing your memories and personalities are exactly what you want on a busy, stressful day. I'm so glad that Ari and her assistant were a part of our big day - I couldn't imagine anyone else being there. If you're looking for a truly creative and passionate photographer for your wedding and engagement, we highly recommend Ari Marie!”

  • Photojournalistic style

  • Serves Gardner, MA

I’m Katlyn, a Central Massachusetts based wedding photographer who believes photos should feel lived in, emotional, and real. I grew up loving family photographs and home videos, and that love turned into a career documenting meaningful moments for others. I’ve been photographing weddings for over 16 years and still feel excited before every one. I’m laid back, organized, and known for having a big laugh, which helps people relax in front of the camera. I love working closely with my couples and their families to create photos that truly feel like them.

“We couldn’t have asked for a better wedding photographer! From the moment we met, we totally vibed — Katlyn was warm, easygoing, and immediately made us feel comfortable (which is saying a lot, since neither my husband nor I love posing for photos). Katlyn (and her partner for the day, Sage) treated our entire wedding party with so much kindness and professionalism, keeping everyone relaxed and genuinely enjoying the process. The photos turned out absolutely beautiful, but what really stood out was how natural the whole experience felt. Nothing was forced, nothing was awkward — just authentic moments captured perfectly. We’re so grateful for the energy they brought to our day and would recommend them a thousand times over.”

Hey friends, I'm Kelly Pomeroy! I have been photographing weddings for over 13 years and I specialize in true to color, genuine wedding photography, . I want my couples to get to be present in the moments, big and small, on their wedding day. Together. I love snuggling with my cats, chocolate chip ice cream and traveling with my family! I'm a wife and a mom. I married the Chandler to my Monica, the Nick Miller to my Jessica Day, the Steve Rogers to my Peggy Carter. I believe that love is love. I believe that black lives matter. I believe in inclusion, equality, and taking care of our planet.

“Where do we begin?! Kelly was the absolute best decision we made for our May 2024 wedding. From our first introductory call, Kelly’s passion for her craft was evident and she put us at ease straight away. She is incredibly organized and touched base with us multiple times before our big day, covering all the small details you wouldn't think of. Kelly’s preparation and guidance allowed us to have an incredible day! She is absolutely, positively lovely and we were so happy to have her as part of our wedding celebration. We live abroad and weren’t able to have an engagement session with her, but her friendly, calming personality made us feel comfortable and her prompts allowed us to have such lovely, natural photos. Her pictures truly captured us as we are. The follow up after the wedding has been just as great. Kelly is truly the best and we couldn’t recommend her more highly!”

I’m Rachel, and I’m a wedding photographer based in Massachusetts and willing to travel as far as your dreams will take you. I’m a sucker for the little details: the way he looks at you when you come down the aisle, the way you laughed at that little shimmy she did on the dance floor. It’s the little moments that make the sweetest memories, and I’m a feelings junkie, so I am THERE for them. I believe that laughter is good medicine, that love is love, and that memories are worth keeping. I’m also a licensed psychologist, and that means I know how to help you feel comfortable and at ease, and I’m great at soothing anxious couples.

“Rachel was our photographer for our September 2018 wedding. She was a pleasure to work with, very transparent, and made everyone in our wedding party feel comfortable. We got everything we asked for and the pictures came out great! Would recommend 110%!!”

With over 10 years of industry experience, my strengths clearly lie in wedding and portraiture photography. Whether you're a recently engaged couple looking for someone to preserve your journey from fiancés to newlyweds through photographs, an expectant Mama hoping to capture your maternity glow or simply wanting to document you and your loved ones during whatever special season of life you're in, I would love to hear from you, I specialize in all types of portraiture but I am renowned for my wedding and engagement photography above all else. Whatever your photo needs are, I would love to chat and find out if we're a good match.

“I don't know what we would've done without Sam. From our first conversation, I knew I wanted to have her on our team, not only for her obvious talent but because she was someone I knew I'd like being around (no matter how stressed I got), who could help direct people who felt out of place, and make even the most "I-hate-pictures" family members smile. She went above and beyond in every sense. She captured everyone at their best, and makes locations look magical. She even came out to San Diego to take our engagement pictures, which came out stunning and made us feel so calm going into the wedding. She got to meet us kind of at our best, before a very busy day. But she doesn't show any sign of the stress -- she had a timeline and she kept us to it, while also being realistic. It ended up raining - she found a spot that worked. We got enough shots - she let us go enjoy cocktail hour. My mom was telling anyone who would listen that she thinks Sam should have her own venue and run everything lol. Could not recommend her enough.”

We have history, we have cameras, we have a height difference. And we think two heads are better than one, four eyes better than two. We are Joe and Katye Brier, and picture-making is a daily passion and pursuit in our family. It’s the souvenir we take home after traveling, and they way in which we wrap our heads around the passage of time. Our approach to wedding photography is to extend as much care to the small moments as we do to the marquis moments of the day.

“Couldn't have imagined another photographer! Our friends commented they have never seen more efficient photographers for the formals which gave us lots of time for couples photos. And despite some challenging weather they pivoted so fast. Can't wait to see all our pictures.”

I started photographing weddings in 2017. I originally got my first camera to photograph landscapes- National Parks specifically. But the second the camera was in my hands, I was immediately drawn to photographing connections between people. Since that moment I haven't hesitated while my heart led me in the direction of wedding and elopement photography! I love documenting the in-between, unprompted moments; the subtle way your partner glances over at you with a side smile when you're not paying attention, the groom fiddling with his new ring, and the uncontrollable laughter when you're melting into each other during your couple's photos.

“Tamara's work speaks for itself. She is an incredibly talented photographer and clearly loves her job. Beyond that, Tamara is kind, professional, and so amiable that she instantly makes you feel like a friend!”

When I'm not behind the lens, you can find me practicing or teaching yoga, hiking, painting, trying new coffee shops, or spending time with loved ones. I'm a firm believer that love is love - regardless of who your partner is, you will always be welcome here. I believe that time is our most precious resource, & that's why it's so important to cherish every moment - big or small.

“Kassia Lee Photography was the perfect choice for our wedding photography. Kassia is very organized and made sure that we were a part of every step in planning for timing, the best views, and made sure every question we had was always answered. Our engagement shoot was a breeze and our pictures were incredible, so we knew we made the right choice! Our sneak peeks for our wedding are literally gorgeous. Kassia had created our entire timeline for our pictures while collaborating with us and all of the other vendors to ensure smooth sailing for our big day. We couldn't be happier with the service and quality of Kassia Lee Photography.”

Capturing weddings is more than just a job for us, it’s a passion. Every love story deserves to be told in a way that timeless, emotional, and true to the couple. From the smallest detail to the first kiss, our goal is to preserve memories that will be cherished for generations.

“From the very first meeting, we just knew they were the right team for us. It honestly felt like they were heaven-sent. They made the whole process so easy and stress-free, and on our wedding day they were everything we could’ve hoped for and more. Not only are they amazing at what they do, but they have such a gift for making you feel comfortable and truly seen. The way they captured our day still takes our breath away, every detail, every emotion, every special moment was documented so beautifully. “Amazing” doesn’t even come close to describing their work. We are beyond grateful for them and would choose them a million times over.”

Some random facts about me: - I have five of the sweetest kids. - I got married during the pandemic to my best friend, we had to cancel our epic destination wedding and had a small microwedding in the mountains of New Hampshire. I wouldn't have changed it for the world! - We live in the woods in Sturbridge. - I started this business in 2008, and it’s been a wild ride since! - I love to be outside, anything outdoors! - I shoot an average of 15 weddings each year. - I have photographed over 150 weddings in my career. - I love creating beautiful images but more importantly, I love serving couples on one of the greatest days of their lives!!

“Brooke Ellen Photography was a fantastic choice for our wedding photography. Their communication style was straightforward, which we appreciated as it made the planning process smooth and efficient.

I'm Jem. The first thing most people notice about me is my accent. I grew up in Sydney, Australia, and eventually followed love all the way across the world to New England, where I now call home. I’ve been photographing weddings since 2010, after a friend asked me to capture their big day. I didn’t know it then, but that “yes” would change everything. From the moment I picked up my camera at that wedding, I knew I had found the work that makes me feel most alive. What I love most is creating photographs that feel like real memories, not stiff poses. My goal is for you to look back and not just see how your day looked, but feel how it felt.

“We recently had the pleasure of working with Jem for our wedding, and the experience was beyond amazing! From the initial consultation (over drinks!) to the final delivery of photos, Jem was professional, creative, and truly passionate about capturing every special moment. On the big day, Jem made us feel completely at ease, blending seamlessly with our friends & family while also taking charge to ensure all the important shots were captured. The quality of the photos is stunning—every shot feels candid yet perfectly composed, capturing the essence of our celebration. She also listened to our vision and incorporated those ideas into the photos beautifully. Her attention to detail and ability to capture not just moments, but emotions, really stood out. We couldn’t be happier with the results and highly recommend Jem to anyone looking for a talented, personable, and FUN wedding photographer. Jem truly made our day unforgettable!”
