Channing Johnson Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (24 reviews)

Melrose, MA
  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $5,000

I have a photojournalism degree from the oldest and most prestigious journalism school in the country. TIME Magazine, The Wall Street Journal, and U.S. News and World Report have all hired me to photograph assignments for them. Whether I’m capturing moments for a national audience or for a single family, I draw on my storytelling background to honor the truth in all moments big and small. My job isn’t to create beauty. My job is to see the beauty already there. All work is personal work.

I am so glad we went with Channing as our wedding day photographer. Photography, particularly in a candid, documentary style, was a big priority for us. Our wedding day album is so incredibly beautiful & unique. Channing captured the emotion of the day so perfectly through super subtle but impactful moments (he also captured gorgeous traditional portraits as well!). He was so lovely to work with day of - calm, collected, communicative, and a fly on the wall that noticed all these tiny moments anyone else might have missed. He delivered our album quickly, which was amazing as we were itching for them! Truly can't recommend him enough if you are looking for a talented photographer for any important event."

Nia Kovacev Photography

Melrose, MA
  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,000

Hi there! I'm Nia, a wedding and elopement photographer based in Boston, MA but obsessed with traveling. I love the days when I stumble upon a new landscape, learn something new from a stranger or aimlessly drive until I end up somewhere decent. This is why I love storytelling. My favorite stories to tell are by far the love shared between two people. Storytelling and making a moment last is what drew me to photography. Documenting your day in an honest, soulful way that shows who you are is what I strive for.

Awarded Best of Zola
We recently had the pleasure of working with Nia for our wedding, and we couldn't be happier with our experience. From the moment we met her, her easy-going nature put us at ease. She made us feel comfortable and genuinely connected with us. We are both somewhat camera shy and she made the entire process from our engagement photos to our wedding SO fun. We wanted our event captured candidly and she truly did that. The turnaround time for our sneak peak photos was impressively fast and they exceeded our expectations. Each photo beautifully captured the emotions of the day, and we loved that they felt authentic and true to us. If you're looking for a photographer who is personable, communicative, and delivers stunning work, we wholeheartedly recommend Nia.

Emelia’s warm and engaging presence, combined with her professionalism, were evident throughout the ceremony, as she delivered our vows with care and with a touch of humor that kept our guests both moved and entertained. We are so grateful to Emelia for her incredible service and highly recommend her to any couple.

A Dream Wedding at Margeaux Supper Parlor We hosted our engagement party turned wedding at Margeaux Supper Parlor, and it was pure magic. From the moment we stepped inside, we were blown away by the beauty of the space - especially the bar, which created the most stunning backdrop for photos we’ll cherish forever. Rebekah, the owner, and her incredible team thought of everything. From a custom, dairy-free menu (which was so important to me) to specialty passed cocktails and thoughtful service throughout, not a single detail was missed. The private oasis room was the perfect retreat for a quiet moment together during the celebration and added such a personal touch to the evening. And yes, we even sabered champagne! Whether it’s a bridal shower, engagement party, or wedding, we can’t recommend Margeaux enough. It’s a truly special place run by truly special people.

Joseph and Erika played a huge part in how special our wedding day was. We genuinely enjoyed every single part of working with them, from the beginning stages including them hearing our vision and vibe for the wedding, during the planning and using the app which made outlining our event and plans so easy, to the event itself where they really engaged all of our guests and got the party going. Even though we had a brunch wedding, Joseph and Erika helped it feel like we were "dancing the night away!" We had so many of our guests immediately after the wedding and for weeks after comment on what talented and amazing musicians Joseph and Erika are and how fun they helped to make our reception. We loved that they included both live renditions of all of our favorite songs as well as had a killer DJ playlist. Definitely don't miss out on the sing along songs. This duo is so easy to work with and they were so gracious when we fumbled a little on the timing of our event and added an additional hour only to their set only weeks before the wedding. All to say, we are just so grateful we found Joseph and Erika! They are gems.

She's an amazing collaborator and not only played every song we wanted but made our day so special as music lovers. Our dance floor at the wedding was always packed, and I (the bride) couldn't get off the dance floor.

What makes Dearly so special is the care that goes into crafting each ceremony, the community of vendors we’re lucky to be surrounded by at Bow Market and the flexibility of our packages to provide a bespoke experience. Cookie cutter weddings are OUT, friends. Time for big feelings, small weddings and a celebration that’s uniquely yours.

PK and the Mighty Seven is a 9-piece powerhouse band built on a foundation of 10+ years performing weddings as a consistent group. Every horn blast, vocal harmony, and rhythm is sharpened by a decade of musical chemistry. We began with a shared love for high-energy soul and funk and an initial Jamiroquai tribute gig, but today we bring that same authentic energy to everything from timeless classics to modern hits. With world-class vocals and a 3-piece horn section, we deliver a wall-to-wall rallying cry to the dance floor that won't be ignored.

Awarded Best of Zola
Let me start by saying that we are not the type to write reviews for anybody - good or bad - but for the sake of future individuals/couples looking to book PK and the Mighty Seven we feel obligated to say that if you are looking for a band to entertain whatever party you are hosting you MUST choose PK and the Mighty Seven. To start, Matt was incredibly communicative and responsive during the initial planning stages, promptly responding to e-mails and joining several Zoom calls leading up to our event. We had a vision for our special day and they accommodated each and every one of our requests. On the day of they arrived early and did the necessary prep work to ensure they were fully situated to provide our guests with the night of a lifetime. They took special care to accommodate our unusual first dance request, song recommendations, and the ambiance we sought to instill. We had a wide array of guests and the overwhelmingly consistent feedback we received was that the band was AMAZING. No exaggeration - the majority of our guests said they were the best band they'd ever experienced. If you are getting married or have a special event in their area you will be doing yourselves an immense disservice not to hire them to make your evening as spectacular as you want it to be.

Maeghan was so helpful and patient with us not knowing what we were doing and changing our minds throughout the planning phases. When I had questions I could always count on her getting back to me within a day, often the same day. The staff that were on site the day of the wedding were phenomenal; professional, kind, and EFFICIENT. I didn't get a chance to interact with them too much as I was losing my mind most of the day. We arrived late to the venue and they were already there; had tidied up the things we'd left out from setup the night before and were setting tables for us. They kept things running smoothly the whole day and went well beyond what I expected for clean up. I was too wound up and anxious to eat at all, but the guests all said the food was excellent. The only complaint I have is that clean-up may have been TOO efficient, we had to go hunting for boxes afterwards! :)

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
Liza photographed our small intimate wedding. From the outset, she set out to make sure the day went smoothly and that we would get the best pictures possible on our special day. We explained to her that our wedding would consist of a very short ceremony and a dinner. The rest of the night would be some games and hanging out, but no dancing. Our original vision was to have her photograph the ceremony, group shots, and the dinner and skip couple portraits. After consulting with her, she recommended skipping the dinner photos (nobody looks good while eating) and photographing the ceremony, group shots, and, since our package left us with a remaining hour, plan for couple portraits before our ceremony. It was great advice and we're happy to have the couple portraits! On the day of she was very approachable and made us feel comfortable during our private session. She was clear when directing and arranging folks for the group photos. All of the pictures turned out great! I would definitely recommend Liza for any wedding or special occasion!

My wife and I chose to elope prior to the administration change, on January 18, 2025. We were amazed at the number of venders offering free or discounted elopement services prior to January 20th for couples in our position, and Julian was an immediate favorite. Their flower arrangements are absolutely gorgeous and they are just a genuinely delightful human being! We didn't need much - just a bouquet and boutonniere and a request for some loose baby's breath for my hair, and Julian delivered more than we hoped for! We loved the colors and the arrangement, but more importantly, given the complex emotions around why we upped our wedding date to elope prior to 1/20, it was Julian's infectious joy, support, and celebratory sentiments shared with us that truly made the experience perfect! Highly recommend and will definitely be using Julian again for any and all of our flower needs!! Thank you!!

I can’t even begin to thank the team at Black Diamond for making our wedding night so incredible. David and Mike on DJ and Tim on sax were absolutely amazing from start to finish. The energy was SO high, and they paid attention to every little detail, which made such a difference on our special night. Leading up to the wedding, our meetings with David were always so great. He was so easy to talk to, incredibly organized, and asked us every question to make sure he understood exactly what we wanted. He had our entire list of songs, our wedding party names, and all of the little details we had discussed. You could truly tell how much he cared about making our night perfect. One moment that really stood out to me was when David came up to me during the reception to ask if I wanted a song that a guest had requested to be played. That small gesture showed just how professional and thoughtful he was. He wanted to make sure the music stayed exactly what we envisioned, while still making sure everyone was having the best time. So many of our guests came up to us throughout the night and told us how incredible our DJ crew was. David & Mike kept the energy going all night, and Tim on sax was AMAZING and brought an entirely different level of energy to the dance floor. Every song, every transition, and every moment felt exactly like us. We seriously wish we could relive this night over and over again. You helped make our wedding everything we dreamed it would be, and we are so grateful. Thank you, Black Diamond team, for giving us the BEST night!
