  • Serves Machias, ME

We were married within 3 months of our first date. “When you know, you know”, they say, and when we knew we wed. Something we bonded over early on was our love for traveling with cameras. After our San Diego courthouse-by-the-sea elopement, we turned our passion for photography into a business. We are both full-time photographers, and we're constantly working to better our craft. We are lucky enough to document weddings of all kinds, from 3 person cliffside sunrise elopements to an intimate mountainside microweddings to larger all-day bashes at one of Maine's beautiful hotels.

I reached out to Brian and Laurel about doing our wedding photos and they were very quick to answer and help me out. We discussed everything I might want for my photos and they made sure to exceed my expectations. We live 14 hours away from Acadia where we wanted to get married and they were so helpful with getting everything in line for me. They created a time schedule for photos, recommended places locally for dinner. We spent the day with Brian and we both felt so comfortable with him. He did an amazing job and made sure to go above and beyond for our wedding day. I could not be happier with the sneak peak photos we have already gotten and I know the rest will be amazing! I highly recommend them for anyone looking to have photos done.

Seeing my sister’s happiness captured so perfectly made me emotional instantly. I remember the pride I felt standing beside her. The photos reflect that same emotion so honestly. Nothing feels artificial or staged. Every smile looks completely genuine. Watching it brought back the excitement and love. The atmosphere feels authentic and warm. It truly tells the story of that day beautifully. I found myself smiling nonstop. I will always cherish these memories.

Hi, I’m Sophia! A Maine based photographer and the face behind Sophia Grace Photography. Specializing in weddings, couples, families, seniors, and all of life’s meaningful milestones. My approach is relaxed, and genuine, with an emphasis on intention. My true to color editing style keeps your images feeling natural and timeless. I want you to feel comfortable in front of my camera, especially on your wedding day. With me, you will always have someone by your side who keeps things calm and enjoyable.

Choosing Sophia Grace Photography was totally worth it. From the start, Sophia kept us in the loop and stayed organized every step of the way, she even worked with our planner to map out the order of events, which gave us real peace of mind. What we didn't expect was how much her presence would add to our day. Your photographer sticks around for everything, but Sophia blended in so naturally that it never felt like we had an extra person following us around. She was fun to be with and made the whole experience enjoyable. We couldn't be happier with how our photos turned out and how smooth the day went because of her.

Hi! I'm Kristin. I would be so honored for you to give me the opportunity to capture your love. Whether it's with the people you love, the person you want to marry, or the work you do that brings you joy. I embrace you for exactly who you are! Let's have some fun and capture it so you can show your love off in the way you want it to be seen.

Not only is Kristin an incredibly talented photographer, but she is an amazing soul to walk through your wedding day with. You don't think about it, but you are around the photographer a lot of the time! While you are getting ready, as the nerves creep up, as you drive up to the venue (or whatever version of those moments are for you). Of course she was professional and delivered gorgeous pictures at the end of it, but she was a calm presence. My husband and I both hate pictures of ourselves and loved the moments she captured, again - she put us at ease! She flittered away at points, and when I got the pictures back wondered where/when was this? How did she get this shot? Overall we told her to focus on the after party portion and I still look back at the pictures and remember that conversation and the reason we were all laughing. One other note - we had an outdoor wedding and she worked with ease and swiftness getting all the obligatory family shots as the sun was setting without a sweat! They all looked amazing too!

We hired Johnny for our wedding, and the experience was nothing short of exceptional. From our first meeting for our engagement photos, he made us feel comfortable and understood our vision perfectly. On our big day, Johnny was a true professional—he and his assistant blended in with our guests while capturing every precious moment. The candid shots were genuinely heartwarming, showcasing emotions that we didn't even realize were being captured. He is truly a master at capturing the "moment before the moment". The posed photos were equally impressive, with a beautiful balance of creativity and elegance. The editing was fantastic; the colors were vibrant, and every image felt timeless. We received our photos promptly, and the quality was outstanding. Overall, we can't recommend So Behold This/Johnny enough. He not only delivered stunning images but also is a joy to work with! If you're looking for a photographer who combines talent with a warm personality, look no further!

Nostalgia drove me into photography at an early age - and lead me into my studies of photojournalism. We all innately know when we're at a critical juncture in our lives. For me, being able to authentically capture, to preserve those moments in a photograph is such a privilege. I know how much it means to me to be able to look back and say 'this is how things actually happened.' There is beauty in those truths. The kind of folks I work with share that appreciation.

Lacie was absolutely phenomenal to work with throughout the entire wedding planning process. From the moment we jumped on a phone call to see if they were a right fit, I knew they would be. Her enthusiasm, understanding, outgoing way that she relates to people is an energy that you want on your big day. Our engagement session was incredible, she moves so quickly but efficiently, as to ensure you get all the shots you want, but is very mindful of time. Our wedding day was COMPLETE because of Lacie. In addition to her positive attitude, she helped smooth the timeline of events during the day when exterior factors were impacting the photography, and problem solved so wonderfully on the spot. She stepped in to help in moments that were above and beyond what we hired her for, and for that I am truly grateful. Her photography style is versatile and beautiful, specifically catered to your preference. I can't imagine a better photographer for our wedding and we are so grateful!

They really care about their clients and want them to have the best photos possible.

She stayed in communication with me, the other vendors, and her own team flawlessly, so I didn't have to worry about a thing. Not only was everything organized and efficient, but it was also fun! Our whole wedding party had a great time making jokes and messing around with the photographers, and seeing them have fun made the whole vibe a lot better. They hyped us up in every pose and made the day nothing but positive. I would highly recommend Heather and her team to anyone who wants a photographer who cares about them! I felt like a million bucks on my wedding day, and I have to say it is mainly because of these incredible photographers. Finally, the results speak for themselves! The pictures we received literally look like they're out of a movie. Their talent is unmatched and should be talked about more. The feelings and emotions of our special day were captured in such a natural and beautiful way. I am so grateful to have these pictures for life, and I can't wait to show my kids one day.

Your wedding is not a performance. It's the way you look at each other when no one's watching. Your hand finding theirs without thinking. My couples care more about what’s real than what looks good on a grid. They want gorgeous photos but also want them to mean something. The couples I work with have depth. Their stories have weight. They want someone behind the lens who sees them. Not just how they look, but who they are. Presence over performance. That's the closest I can get to naming it.

Awarded Best of Zola
We can’t recommend Danielle enough! From the very beginning she went above and beyond, researching, planning, and creating an itinerary for us leading up to our elopement day. Every location she chose was absolutely breathtaking and far from the tourist crowds, which was exactly what we were hoping for. Danielle truly turned our vision into reality and captured the magic of our day in a way we’ll cherish forever. Thank you for everything!!!

Watching my sister get married was already emotional, but the photos and video made it feel like magic. The photos are warm and natural, capturing her true beauty. The video brought tears to my eyes, especially the vows. I love how they included all the family moments too, not just the bride and groom. The laughter, the hugs, even the kids dancing is all there. It feels timeless, like something we’ll watch for generations. I’m so grateful they made it this special.

Half documentary. Half editorial. Fully yours. Hi, I’m Liza, a wedding photographer based in Boston, serving couples throughout New England and beyond. With a background in fashion photography, I blend candid storytelling with timeless, editorial-inspired imagery. My goal is to capture your day as it naturally unfolds while creating photographs that feel authentic, timeless, and true to you. Years from now, I want your photographs to do more than show you how your wedding looked—I want them to bring you back to exactly how it felt.

Liza helped to capture our perfect day exactly how we had hoped. She was so diligent about every thing we wanted and never hesitated to get the perfect shot, and EVERY shot was perfect. Nearly all of our guests have complimented how well she did and how well she captured the essence of us, our guests, and the night. She was incredible to work with and truly made us feel comfortable in every setting we took photos. I would recommend her to any and everyone. So much love and gratitude to her!!

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. I learned photography as a photojournalist, where you get one shot or you miss it forever. That instinct drives everything I do on your wedding day.

We had an absolutely incredible experience with Marc! When we were interested in booking him, he recommended we have a call first to discuss our vision for our wedding and the logistics we knew of so far. After we booked, we had another call the month of the wedding to go over all of our details. He left no question unanswered and was able to make sure we incorporated everything we wanted for photos into our wedding. Day of our wedding, Marc could not have done a better job capturing our first look, family photos, portraits, ceremony, and reception. He led us through a series of poses that felt natural and had us both at ease the entire time. We relied on his expertise for backgrounds and overall vision of the photos, and he exceeded our expectations. He was great with our friends and families, and captured any photos throughout the night that we requested. He went above and beyond getting the photos back to us in a timely manner. I can’t recommend enough hiring Marc for your wedding or event!

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 Nisotel Photography was an absolute joy to work with for our engagement shoot and wedding day. Their communication style was casual and comfortable, which put us at ease throughout the entire process. The quality of their work was truly exceptional - they have a great candid and documentary-style approach that captured all the smaller, meaningful moments that we'll cherish forever. They worked seamlessly with our schedule and ensured our entire shot list was met, allowing us to be fully present and enjoy our celebration. We couldn't be happier with the beautiful photos that now serve as a timeless reminder of our special day. Highly recommend Steve Nisotel Photography to any couple looking for a talented, creative, and professional photography team.
