Chris was amazing to work with. From start to finish, the first phone chat really demonstrated his interest and passion and ability to make us feel comfortable, the wedding day was great and I felt like he captured so many amazing moments while also being able to take lots of candids while we danced and enjoyed ourselves, and the photos we received were amazing. I’ve gotten so many compliments on how beautiful the photos are and how talented our photographer was.

Nia Kovacev Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (8 reviews)
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 are so grateful to Nia for photographing our wedding this past May. From our very first discovery call, she was warm, easygoing, and genuinely excited to capture who we are as a couple. Throughout the entire process she made everything simple and stress free, always communicating clearly and offering guidance whenever we needed it. For our engagement session, Nia even took time out of her personal trip to Colorado (where we lived at the time) to meet us for photos so we could document that chapter of our story. That extra effort meant so much to us. On our wedding day, she was the ultimate hype woman—calm, upbeat, organized, and smiling the entire time. She kept us relaxed, made the process feel natural, and helped us stay present in the moment. Our guests adored her, and her positive energy made us feel like we had a trusted friend behind the camera, not just a photographer. The photos speak for themselves. She captured the joy, emotion, and tiny in-between moments that we never want to forget. Her work is truly a form of art, and her ability to document real connection is unmatched. We are endlessly grateful for Nia and will cherish our photos forever. We cannot recommend booking her enough!!

Channing Johnson Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (4 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.

When researching a wedding photographer, my husband and I knew we wanted photos that would last well beyond our wedding day. At the same time, we didn’t want taking photos to consume too much of the day. We found Channing, and he was beyond perfect. He was everything we wanted in a photographer and so much more. He was non-intrusive while capturing moments, made the process quick and easy (even for my husband, who’s not big on taking photos), and delivered work that was better than we ever could have imagined. Our photos are still the most talked-about part of our wedding, and we’re so happy we invested in Channing. Because of his documentary-style photography, we truly get to relive our wedding day every time we look at them.

PK and the Mighty Seven 
Rating: 5.0 (34 reviews)
  • Band or Ensemble
  • Serves Melrose, MA

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.

Picking a wedding photographer was overwhelming because of the sheer number of amazing vendors. When I reached out to Jenn she was so quick to respond and we immediately felt like old friends.

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.

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!

These two made our night incredible! We had the best reception ever thanks to them! DJ Tavo accommodated our requests with ease and also offered a lot of helpful advice in the planning process. They did bilingual introductions so both families could be included in on the fun. The music was the perfect mix of party/spanish music which is exactly what we were looking for. We even had guests coming up to us saying that they loved our DJ! We also had a unplanned, surprise speech from the mother of the groom in Spanish that DJ Tavo translated to English on the spot.

We hired DJ El Sid for our August 9th, 2025 wedding, and our reception was an absolute banger. Sid is super talented and is great at reading the crowd likely because he still actively DJs at clubs which is exactly what we were looking for. He had everyone on their feet dancing from our younger crowd of friends and cousins to our older family and friends. You know it’s a good party when you have a dachshund do the limbo and the men’s ties transfer to their head haha. We got SO many compliments on the DJ from our guests! Additionally, Sid did a fantastic job with the ceremony and grand entrances and dances, and MCing. We had 2-3 planning meetings with him via Zoom before the wedding, which were super helpful to get to know each other, ask questions, and share our music tastes and wishes. Fusion function also had an app where we could upload our songs for the ceremony, cocktail hour, entrances, first dances, and reception to keep everything organized and give Sid a vibe for our music style. Our wedding was an epic party to remember thanks to DJ El Sid!

Ultimately, that's what it's all about, serving my clients and creating an amazing experience.

Awarded Best of Zola
My husband and I hired Randall to serve as our photographer for our wedding last summer. In short, Randall did a wonderful job. From the first call he was very kind and relaxed, which we really appreciated given how stressful the wedding planning process can be at times. We selected his “Notting Hill” package, which we loved because it included not only wedding photography, but also an engagement photoshoot, a guestbook based on the engagement photoshoot, and a wedding photo album (with parent copies). The engagement photoshoot came out beautifully; we tried to time it to coincide with the foliage peaking, and Randall was extremely patient and flexible with us as we tried to plan for and work around the unpredictable Boston fall weather. The engagement photoshoot itself also came out great; even though neither my husband nor I had experience getting our picture taken in this type of setting, Randall made us feel very comfortable and had excellent ideas to take advantage of the scenery. We loved the photos so much we had trouble choosing which to use for our save the date cards. During the weeks leading up to the wedding, Randall was very organized and responsive, and stayed in close touch with us to discuss different logistics and plans related to coordinating with the videographers, timing, portraits with family members, and sunset photos, etc. On the wedding day itself, Randall kept us very calm and relaxed throughout the day, worked seamlessly with the videographers, and also took many amazing photographs that made great use of the colors and light, showed his impressive creative vision, and beautifully captured every part of the day. We were so delighted to see all the photographs a few months after the wedding, and to later work with Randall on a photo album which provides a tangible pictorial summary of our day (in fact, we also had trouble choosing what should go into the album because there were also so many great pictures to choose from). Finally, in addition to our wedding reception last summer, Randall also served as a photographer for our legal city hall wedding last winter, and similarly did an excellent job with that too. In short, we had a terrific experience working with Randall and feel very lucky to have been able to work with him as our wedding photographer.

Whether you are just newly engaged or planning for your special day I would love to create moments and memories with you! I love photographing in places around the city. If I'm not photographing at the Boston Public Garden then I am roaming the streets of back bay and Copley Square or taking in the Boston Harbor views.

Salma is simply fantastic! Not only did she travel from Boston to Denver for our wedding, she and our second shooter Sh’Tara went above and beyond to help make our day as special as possible! They were so sweet and fun to work with, they captured every moment beautifully and authentically. She even sent us a couple sneak peaks the day after the wedding! We loved working with her and will be recommending her work to everyone we know!

From our first conversation with Ashley in the sales office, we knew Devens Common Center was the right choice for our wedding. She was with us every step of the way, answering our questions quickly and making sure we felt supported throughout the planning process. The venue itself is stunning—elegant and beautiful with the perfect atmosphere for our celebration. On the day of the wedding, Peter coordinated everything flawlessly and kept things running smoothly from start to finish. The entire team was organized and professional, and we couldn't have asked for better service. Devens Common Center made our special day unforgettable, and we highly recommend them to any couple looking for a top-notch venue.

Xenia Helix Photography was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. From our first interaction, she demonstrated a consistent, reliable, and flexible communication style that put us at ease throughout the entire planning process. On the day, her team was attentive and had a beautiful vision for capturing all the special moments. Xenia and her assistant went above & beyond working around some tricky lighting during family portraits. Their creativity resulted in photographs that we will cherish forever. We cannot recommend Xenia Helix Photography enough - they truly helped make our wedding day feel even more magical.

New England gardeners at heart, we look to the season's bounty in the spirit of bringing the garden indoors.

Natural Arrangements was a recommended vendor from my wedding venue just outside Boston, and I'm so glad I went with them! As someone who's worked in the wedding industry, I wanted less traditional flowers and they really came through. I wasn't the most decisive person as far as decor, so with their questions and suggestions, they helped narrow things down and find the best option. They were very responsive, easy to work with, and I appreciate all their work. I only wish I got to enjoy the bouquets for longer and not leave town so soon after the wedding!
