Hi, I'm Brooke (she/they) I'm a Massachusetts based wedding & elopement photographer. A client once told me that I captured things in their wedding photos that until then they had only ever felt.

But what does love look like?

Our style is artistic and documentary, and can be described in three words; Sincere, Scenic, and Inspirational. Sincere, we will never ask you to act unnaturally in front of our camera; we will adjust to your personalities and photograph you as you are. Scenic, because we love beautiful landscapes and love to incorporate everyone in such environments. Inspirational, because there is always a new way or a new idea to capture a photo but in the end it's capturing that special moment.

Your wedding deserves more than background music. It deserves moments—like the perfect song as you walk down the aisle, or that one song that gets your grandma dancing at the reception. I help create those moments. From your first “hello” at the top of the aisle -- to your last dance of the night, I make the music for your day personal, seamless, and stress-free.

She was amazing to work with and even learned new songs for us to make our day perfect. Ashley sang at our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour this past September. From the very beginning, she was amazing to work with and even learned new songs for us to make our day perfect.

I cannot say enough amazing things about Blissfulstills Photography! From the moment we booked them for both photo and video for our wedding, I knew we were in good hands. Noble and Stevenson, our photographers, were absolute pros. My husband and I are terrible at posing, but they made us look like naturals in every single shot! They guided us through the entire process, making it fun and effortless, and the results were beyond stunning. But the real jaw-dropper? Carl, our videographer, crafted a wedding video that looks like an epic movie! Every moment is captured with such cinematic flair—it’s a masterpiece. Even a year later, I’m still in awe every time I watch it. The way they captured our day is something we’ll treasure forever. I recently found out that they don’t only just do weddings! I’m already planning to book them for every special event in our lives. Love you guys!

Couples deserve someone as excited about their day as they are, working alongside them to capture the essence of every detail so tirelessly prepared, and every joy filled aspect of their wedding. As a part of your wedding, we will make it a priority to review your timeline ahead of time, and make day of questions much less due to good communication and organization beforehand.

Such down to earth people who are able to catch the little things that mean a lot. I am so glad that we trusted them to photograph our wedding because they made sure that what we got back was more than we could have ever expected. They made all of our family feel comfortable while taking the photos and we weren’t worried that they had missed any. The way they give you your photos organized on the flash drive helped a lot too, by keeping things in categories for us so we were able to make an album without any trouble. We highly recommend them to everyone we know, and have even had family interested in hiring them after spending time with them at our wedding

I truly cannot put into words how amazing our entire experience was from start to finish. We found John and Avec L'Amour through our photographer, Heather Soucy. She told me that her family even used John for her brother's wedding because of everyone she has worked with, she trusted him to document their special day in the best way. That spoke volumes to me. When I say these two are a 'dream team' I am not kidding. As someone who had never been professionally photographed or video'd before, I was really nervous about looking and feeling awkward. John made my husband, Mike, and me feel SO comfortable throughout the whole day. It was so cool seeing these two incredibly creative minds feeding off each other to get the best possible shot. It was a little rainy on our day and they actually took video/photos of us inside a puddle reflection--I mean who thinks of that?! We were running a little late to the reception when our portraits were supposed to be taken and John knew we didn't want to miss too much of cocktail hour. We were able to get the most beautiful shots in just 30 minutes, including drone, which was super important to us. The Avec L'Amour team got absolutely stunning video without us feeling like we had cameras in our faces all night. We booked John for the 8-hour package, but realized we were not going to be able to get the bouquet toss or cake cutting in that time frame. NO worries!! John offered to stay an extra hour to capture the remainder of the evening. Now for the deliverables: we got our first teaser video back within 3 weeks of our day and I was absolutely blown away. We received the full gallery which included a 1 minute teaser, 3 minute trailer, and the full 1.5 hour long event not even a MONTH after our wedding day. It was just like watching a move of all our favorite people and he captured the day so perfectly. I cannot say enough: RUN, don't walk to book John and Avec L'Amour for your special day!! Worth every penny. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

I don't even know where to start regarding Zhaun!! From our engagement photos all the way to our wedding day, he was so remarkably supportive, reassuring, & honestly invaluable the entire process. My husband & I always joke that we're remarkably unphotogenic & can be awkward in front of the camera-- but all of that really washed away with Zhaun. I know you've all seen the more cheesy or uber serious photographers, & Zhaun truly met us where we were & was able to create such a wonderfully laid back vibe. His photos obviously speak for themselves & it goes without saying, but holy MOLY is he talented!!! I made a pinterest page with different 'inspo,' wanting our photos of the big day to capture a lot of the joy in the little interactions with not only us, but all of our guests & boy did Zhaun deliver & then some!! We cannot thank him enough for all he's done for us!! You're the best!!! xx K&J

Hi there! I’m Daniel Martinez, and I’m thrilled to connect with you! My passion for photography ignited at just 14 years old, and I’ve been dedicated to this creative journey ever since. With a decade of experience in wedding photography, I’ve had the joy of working with fantastic publications like ESPN, PDN, and The New York Times. I focus on a documentary style, capturing genuine, candid moments that tell your unique story. My goal is to create a relaxed atmosphere, allowing you to fully enjoy your special day while I document the heartfelt connections between you and your loved ones. I’d love to chat!

From the very first conversation, we knew he was our guy—and we immediately forgot about everyone else. I’m usually not one for being in front of a camera, but Daniel made it all feel so easy, so relaxed, and honestly… SO MUCH FUN. He has this magic about him that makes you feel comfortable and hyped all at once. Our guests have not stopped raving about him—literally everyone was obsessed! And somehow, the very next morning, he had already sent us nearly 300 photos that blew us away. Each one better than the last. I LOVE THEM ALL. Daniel and his team were not only incredibly professional, but also genuinely kind and such a joy to be around. I honestly don’t think we’ll ever look better in photos again! He knew exactly where to shoot—from hidden corners of our venue to the most epic street shots. I’m still in awe. We cannot wait to see the final edits, and I really really really hope we get to shoot with him again someday. If you’re even thinking about booking Daniel—do it. You will not regret it. He’s a once-in-a-lifetime kind of photographer!!!

Hello, my name is Adam! I have been working behind a camera for 15 years and would love to bring my expertise in filmmaking and storytelling to your wedding. Being a part of the most special day in a couple's lives is a tremendous honor, and I bring that sentiment into every film I make.

Adam was an absolute pleasure to work with! He made sure to touch base with us multiple times before our big day to ensure he knew exactly what we wanted. We allowed him full creative control and are so happy we did. Our trailer and highlight reel look like actual movies. He included beautiful drone shots capturing our entire venue and made sure to incorporate bits from our entire day into the reel. My favorite part is the raw emotion he captured throughout our vows and our speeches. The final product is absolutely priceless and we are so thankful to Adam for filming editing our favorite memory that we can look back on for a lifetime. We HIGHLY recommend him for your day!

Welcome to our vibrant floral design studio, where creativity blooms with an eco-friendly twist!

I had the esteemed privilege of being a guest at one of the weddings Marigolds Florals designed the gorgeous flowers for. I witnessed the interaction between the bride and the florist and could tell she was a pleasure to work with. The florals were so beautiful vibrant and fresh, we got to take them home at the end of the day and they lasted so long!

Whenever I find out I'm working a wedding with Collins Entertainment I get excited! Jim and his team always bring the party and are so great to work with vendor to vendor! Plus, he takes great care of his couples (which not all DJs do) making sure they've got great music, a charismatic emcee, and that ALL the guests at the wedding have something to get up on the dancefloor for.
