Communication with VMG Weddings was super relaxed and easy, they understood everything I wanted. We were blessed to have both Matt & Des capture our special night. The work they produced was incredible - they were so detail-oriented and worked tirelessly to bring my wedding day dreams to reality. They incorporated the beautiful cemetery on the property into my photos because they could tell it was something I would love. The photographers were also so helpful, fluffing my dress, checking my hair and makeup, and even bustling my dress multiple times throughout the night. It felt like having extra friends there to make sure everything was perfect. Definitely hire VMG Weddings for your wedding - they'll make it a true fairytale for you!

Hi, I’m Alex! If you are looking for a creative, passionate and professional wedding photographer with an easy to vibe with personality, then I’m your guy! I’m here to make your big day something to remember for a lifetime. Whether you are having a large scale black tux event or a small intimate garden wedding, I am here to bring your vision to life. I have been a professional wedding photographer for over 6 years now and truly enjoy what I do. When I’m not taking photos, I am probably spending time with my wife and dog, creating some art or watching a good movie!

Alex was incredible to work with right from the start. He made us feel comfortable and excited about our elopement day. The photos he took are beautiful, dreamy and so creative — perfectly captures not just how everything looked, but exactly how it felt. We encountered a few curveballs on our day, and he took it all in stride with us, and patiently kept everything flowing. It is such a gift to be able to have our incredible photos to look back on and relive the joy of the day. We can’t recommend him enough. If you want a photographer who’s not just incredibly talented but also kind, flexible, and a joy to be around, he’s it. We’ll treasure our photos forever!

Caroline Captures Media 
Rating: 5.0 (2 reviews)
Portland, ME
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $3,750

We’re Caroline and Nermin, the husband-and-wife team behind Caroline Captures Media. Our story began in Bar Harbor, where we first met while working along the coast. It didn’t take long for Maine’s landscapes, communities, and coastal beauty to become a place we deeply connected with and eventually came to call home. Nermin grew up in Montenegro along the Adriatic Sea, so Maine’s rugged shoreline and maritime culture felt immediately familiar. Our shared connection to coastal places and the outdoors has shaped not only our lives, but also the way we see and document weddings.

We were so happy with Caroline Captures Media from start to finish. Their communication was quick and professional, making the whole process easy and stress-free. On our wedding day, they went above and beyond to help us get the best shots and made sure we felt comfortable in front of the camera. They were willing to capture any extra photos we wanted without hesitation. The quality of their work is incredible and the value we got was honestly amazing. We would not hesitate to recommend Caroline Captures Media to any couple looking for a photographer.

I’m a storyteller. That’s what I’m here to do - document the story of one of your greatest celebrations. My work is heavily focused on the authentic, unplanned moments. My approach is observational and real, creating images that are genuine representations of you, those you love, and the space and moments you share. I create true-to-life images that will bring you back to some of your sweetest, most treasured moments for years to come. If you’re looking for a light-hearted, boisterous creative to work with, you’ve found her. I'm people-centric which means that, I'm focusing on you, your guests, and the real moments you're sharing together.

Awarded Best of Zola
Kaitlin is amazing to work with. As a photographer who has done weddings myself, I had high standards and specific requests that weeded out a lot of people during my search. Kaitlin immediately stood out to me as someone with the ability to capture the essence of a couple. As I browsed her galleries I felt like I knew the couples and their stories by the time I was done. My wife and I are very introverted, shy, and not used to being the center of attention — let alone in front of a camera. After consulting with Kaitlin it was even more clear that she was the perfect photographer for us. Kaitlin listened to our requests, asked us questions to get a better understanding of what sort of coverage we’d like, and checked in multiple times leading up to the wedding day to go over plans. On the day of, Kaitlin was incredible. She set her flash units up perfectly to give a beautiful sense of lighting to our indoor pictures. Kaitlin was quick and professional with our family formals without feeling like she was rushing anyone. We love our newlywed portraits, largely due to how natural it felt to work with her—again this was huge for us as two people who are a bit camera shy. Our reception photos are equally beautiful, she captured meaningful candid moments without feeling like she was standing between us and the moments happening around us. If you’re like my wife and me and aren’t used to being on camera, I would 100% recommend booking a practice session with Kaitlin either for engagement photos or couples’ photos. As a photographer I’m used to being behind the camera and not in front of it. She helped us feel comfortable and it also helped her see how we interact together as a couple. At no point did we feel like Kaitlin was commandeering our schedule to check off boxes on a shot-list. She was seamlessly integrated everything. Genuinely, I cannot recommend Kaitlin enough. Working with her is like having a best friend there take your wedding photos.

I have always loved to create. My grandfather called me his little tinker, a reference to travelers in Ireland known for fixing things and selling their arts and crafts. My work is inspired by relationships, travel and living life. All done by one Maine woman, the Maine Tinker. I create a vision that reflects their distinct personality, while paying attention to small details of each celebration, along with the grand details. All photos are taken and processed by me, not out side contracting is done, so it truly is a local Maine Business. please visit www.themainetinker.com

Siobhan photographed our wedding in October 2024 and she is the best. You spend a lot of time with your photographer on your wedding day and it was a pleasure to spend the day with Siobhan. She was such a calming presence for me, and she made taking photos enjoyable. She will make sure she gets all the shots you requested while also giving perfect suggestions for photo spots, timing, etc. I can't recommend Siobhan enough!

I’m Ned— a soulful creative, hopeless romantic & southern Maine based photographer I believe photography is more than just preserving a moment — it's about honoring the depth, emotion, and story that lives within it. I photograph weddings of all kinds—from elegant coastal celebrations to quiet, intimate elopements—with an eye for emotion, beauty, and honest storytelling. My approach is calm, documentary, and grounded in years of experience capturing the real moments that matter. Whether you’re planning a refined gathering or a deeply personal ceremony, I’m here to create images that feel true, timeless, and full of heart.

Ned was an absolute delight to work with. He is warm, friendly, and very professional. He even quickly won over our young child and put all three of us at ease during our family portrait session. We’re excited to see Ned again for our wedding photography!! We recommend him wholeheartedly to others looking for an artist with a calming presence and the ability to capture both his subjects and Maine’s dramatic landscape.

Maine Wedding + Lifestyle Photographer serving couples + families with an experience that makes them leave feeling embraced with love. Providing both Photo + Video to New England + Abroad. At Tay Sikes Photo, we make you feel extra loved by those around you, and extra gorgeous in every photo we capture.

I can’t say enough good things about Taylor! Not only is she my wonderful friend, but I have been lucky enough to be on the receiving end of her talent, as she’s taken beautiful and I mean BEAUTIFUL photos of me throughout my entire pregnancy. As a photographer myself this is no easy task, but Taylor has a gift for setting people at ease, making them feel beautiful and creating truly unique shots. Not only have I been the subject of her work, but I’ve also been able to work with her on weddings and I can truly say there is no one I would rather work with. Taylor is so good at catching those beautiful moments as they unfold (the first kiss, the first look) but also the inbetween moments (aunt Mary hugging your cousin at cocktail hour and your little niece break dancing on the dance floor). Her editing is timeless and who she is as a person just makes you want to go back for every important life event. I highly recommend Taylor for all your life moments!

Tide and True Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (1 review)
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $3,900
  • Serves Portland, ME

I am a wedding photographer. AND I'm a wedding photographer with a altruistic approach. Which mean I bring my whole self to the table, and care about you and your vision. I want to get to know you then partner with you to create. In the past I've worked for a florist, I'm a veteran, I keep bees, run a small farm, briefly ran a salon; I bring every experience from my life to the table for your wedding. My bag has everything from hair ties to hammers in it!

I went into wedding planning knowing that, aside from my venue, my photographer was going to be the most important vendor decision for me. The way I see it, after the day is done and the bouquets have wilted, the only thing I have left to remember the magic of the day is photos. I wanted them to be great and I wanted a photographer who would add to the day instead of just photograph it. Tim did that. I looked through maybe 30 different photographers' galleries and met with maybe 10 before finding Tim and knew from our first conversation that I'd found our photographer. And I am so very pleased that Tim was part of our day. Every step of the way, Tim was wonderful to work with. He answered every question I had and shared ideas leading up to the day. He was super pleasant, knowledgeable, and obviously devoted to his craft. He was communicative and helpful in thinking about parts of the day that I initially hadn't even considered.  On the actual wedding day, Tim was legitimately a huge part of keeping things on track and fun. Multiple people in our wedding party stopped me throughout the day to tell me how awesome and efficient he was and he honestly kept me laughing through most of the early part of the day. I can honestly say I wasn't too stressed that morning and Tim helped create that atmosphere for me and my bridal party. Even my matron of honor, who is also a wedding photographer herself, applauded my decision in working with Tim and spoke about how quick, calm, helpful and thoughtful he was. And my sister thinks he's basically magic because he pulled a makeup light out of nowhere when she wanted to check the makeup she'd done for me and handed another girl tiny scissors when she needed to trim hanger straps off her dress.  The sneak peeks I've gotten from our gallery have me so excited to see everything Tim captured and I know I'm going to be looking back on his photos for years to come. They'll help me relive one of the happiest days of my life and I'm so grateful for that. Were I planning this wedding again, I'd hire Tim again in a heartbeat. For the photos and for the unique energy he brought for the day, he was perfect for us!

He did a fantastic job and captured beautiful, cherished moments for the couple. Jesse is the wedding photographer you'll want to book - he has that special "it factor" that couples are looking for.

Jack went above and beyond. He met with us before the wedding to fine tune what we wanted and get to know us. He came to the rehearsal to figure out lighting and meet the “important people” haha. He also checked out our venue for reception before wedding and met our wedding coordinator! We had a cocktail hour while we did pictures so he was able to hire a second shooter as well if you needed such. The electricity went out at the church right before the ceremony and he was a pro- pictures turned out great! Really felt like he cared so much and put so much into our big day and really captured the best moments and had great ideas when doing our couples pictures after ceremony. The wedding is gone before you know it but the pictures last forever! THANK YOU JACK!!

Our goal for wedding photos was to be transported back to our wedding day - more of a storytelling style than formal portraits. Felisha totally nailed it, and somehow managed to capture some extra magic in there too. Leading up to the wedding, Felisha was great at helping us feel comfortable with her, and we’re usually camera shy! We felt like we made a new friend! We weren’t planning to do a “first look”, but after how much we loved our engagement photos we decided to add that element to our wedding day as an excuse to get more time with Felisha and have some more Amazing portraits. During the wedding, Felisha and her second shooter were totally professional and unobtrusive - we didn’t notice them doing their thing, and neither did our guests. She was fun to work with, super on top of everything, and the results speak for themselves. We’re already dreaming up other life events that we might want to have professionally photographed, as an excuse to work with her again!

I also had mentioned I had hoped to get a photo back in a shorter time frame to put on our wedding invitations - she ended up delivering our whole gallery early, and they were all so beautiful! The day of the wedding, they made us feel so comfortable and we had so much fun taking photos with them! Our "sneak peak" included a little taste of each part of the day, which is way more than I was expecting, and we could not be more thankful for them. I keep looking at them and just get more excited for our full gallery! Their editing style, and the moments they captured are exactly what I was hoping for with a wedding photographer. I couldn't recommend them more, and will definitely be recommending them to all of my engaged friends! Thank you Rebecca and Ilia so much!!! You are beautiful people, inside and out, who create beautiful work!

After the photos were ready, it was so easy to look through them all and we could not have been happier with the results. Finally, Randy took the time to talk us through the curation and design of the album in two separate meetings - he gave great advice on design and layout whilst making it clear that the album would be exactly as we wanted to be. The final album is absolutely beautiful - the perfect record of our special day. We cannot recommend Randy highly enough!

We seriously couldn’t have asked for a better wedding photographer for our September 27, 2025 wedding. Elizabeth captured our autumn wedding perfectly. From the colors of the nature around us to the laid-back rustic vibes to all the little special moments we didn’t even realize were happening. It is so true what people say when they tell you that your wedding day is a whirlwind and you are pulled in so many directions. It is hard to retain all the memories yourselves, so having a professional photographer is so important. It is absolutely incredible just how much she was able to capture as one person. On top of that, she went way above and beyond by helping us set up décor and just jumping in wherever she was needed. She was also such a calming presence on the day, and helped keep everything feeling relaxed and fun. For me as a woman with some self-esteem challenges, she captured the things I love about myself and made me appreciate things I may have not loved as much before. I feel like I am more confident as a result which is such a huge gift. TLDR: Elizabeth is incredibly talented, kind, and truly cares about her couples. She definitely found her calling as a wedding photographer. We’re so grateful for her and would recommend her to anyone in a heartbeat!

Growing up in Egypt, near the great Pyramids, has inspired my eyes to capture great moments that last for life time. I am surrounded both by natural beauty and interesting people. I use my camera to document the world and then print images with a focus on the magic I find in daily life. My pictures tell my stories

I could not be happier that Jocelyn was able to take our wedding photos. Each photo is beautiful and special to us, and the experience was everything I could’ve asked for. She truly made me feel more at ease, especially when I was freaking out before walking down the aisle. As she was taking my getting ready photos she joked around with me and distracted me, which was exactly what I needed. She went above and beyond, always ensuring I felt comfortable and as relaxed as possible, and it shows in the photos. I typically hate having my photo taken and hate how I end up looking in pictures, but I sincerely love every photo she took. She captured every special moment. Even my wedding party and guests can’t stop raving about how amazing the photos are! The turnaround time for the album was also very fast. I could not recommend her more.

I’m Sam, a wedding photographer known for thoughtful details, images that feel effortless, and a calm presence. I’ve been photographing weddings across the U.S. since 2011. Most couples tell me they’re not comfortable in front of the camera, and that’s completely normal. I’m experienced at guiding people just enough to feel at ease. Outside of weddings, I’m usually at home with my husband and our three kids, which has taught me a lot about patience, flexibility, and staying calm when plans inevitably change. Skills that turn out to be very useful on a wedding day.

She had a calming presence and made sure to capture all the important moments, even working well with family members who can be difficult to photograph. Sam's personable nature and attention to detail were greatly appreciated as we navigated the busy wedding day. We highly recommend Samantha Lee Photography to any couple looking for an exceptional photography experience.

Every weekend you'll find me oohing over a wedding dress, and holding my breath for the first moment the groom sees the bride. The wedding style I like the most is candid, but I definitely don't mind posing a nervous couple, or arranging that perfect artistic shot before the light changes. I am patient, calm, and encouraging... I think I get along with everyone... I'm like the nerdy extra bridesmaid with a really killer camera.

Sarah was an amazing photographer. She was friendly and excited for us all day. She did a good job of capturing intimate moments without invading our personal space. Sarah made sure to photograph everything we asked for, as well as to suggest other great shots that we are so glad to have now. She was getting ready to leave at the end of the night and noticed a special spot under a tree with twinkle lights. She came back into the reception to see if we wanted to get pictures there, and those are some of our favorites! Her photos look just like how we experienced the day, not overly edited. I know some couples wait weeks, if not months, to get their full gallery back. Sarah sent us the link to the gallery within 72 hours! We are so glad to have gotten to work with her.

I'm a 25-year-old photographer with a passion for capturing life's most memorable moments. I'm a wife, avid crafter, and proud dog-mom. With over 7 years of experience behind the lens, I feel truly honored to document the best moments of my clients' lives, allowing them to look back on these cherished memories for years to come. I had the privilege of studying photography at NHIA, where I was accepted with a scholarship. During my three years there, I immersed myself in the world of film and digital photography, working both in the studio and in nature.

My fiance and I had the opportunity to do our engagement shoot with Julia and we could not be happier with the experience and the results! Before the shoot, we were able to communicate easily with her over text and send ideas to her that she did her best to incorporate into the shoot. I was initially nervous because it was the first time we were taking official photos for the wedding and being in front of the camera is not something I’m very used to. From the minute we met up for the shoot, Julia’s presence and energy immediately put me at ease. She is bubbly, funny and fantastic at giving direction without actually posing you so it just felt like we were on a date and having fun. The pictures she captured truly portray the nature of our relationship as a couple and were exactly what we were envisioning! I cannot recommend her services enough, it was an absolute pleasure to work with her and I look forward to printing the pictures for our home!
