Alex truly exceeded my expectations capturing our wedding day. Imean, I knew he would nail it, but think his talent is above and beyond. His presence is so calming and warm, I wouldn't have wanted to have anyone else by our sides capturing each moment. We can't thank him enough!!!

From our first conversation, Matt made us feel at ease. He took the time to really get to know us and what we were hoping for. Our wedding in Owls Head was everything we’d imagined—ocean air, views of Rockland Harbor, and the lighthouse in the distance. Matt and his team captured it all beautifully, along with the little in-between moments that meant the most. The photos are gorgeous. They feel honest and full of life. And the video… we’ve already watched it more times than we can count. It brings us right back to that day every single time. It doesn’t feel posed or overdone. It just feels like us. Hiring VMG Weddings was one of the best choices we made. If you're planning a wedding in Maine, don’t think twice.

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 knew we needed to book Kaitlin from the second I found her Zola profile, but it was completely solidified by our meet and greet meeting. Kaitlin is exactly as described. So personal, completely herself, open and transparent, I could go on and on. One of the biggest things that sold us with Kaitlin (besides her work) was the fact that she gave us advice on what to look for/questions to ask with other photography vendors while we were on our hunt. We had our engagement photos in October in Boothbay Harbor and we are actually located in Western Mass. I had ideas in my head about what would work and Kaitlin made the drive to check out the locations and ensure they actually would. One of my locations wasn't the best lighting wise and she gave multiple other options to get similar looks. We actually ended up doing some downtown photos which are some of my favorites (which is a little a lie because I am obsessed with all of them). I read in multiple of Kaitlin's reviews that she makes awkward people comfortable behind the camera and I am here to say it is true. I was so stressed going into things, worried my hair looked bad, we wouldn't get *the* shot, we would look weird, etc. Kaitlin immediately asked me what my worries were and I felt so at ease. Working with Kaitlin felt like working with with a lifelong friend who really has it all together and is such a professional. I truly know that our wedding day is going to be that much better knowing she is going to be there documenting it all.

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.

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!

JesseKams Photography is an exceptional wedding photographer. His communication is top-notch, Jesse is incredibly thorough and responsive.

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. Don't miss out on the opportunity to work with him!

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!!

Photography isn’t just my career—it’s the way I connect with people, turning clients into dear friends and fleeting moments into timeless memories.

My heart beats for real, authentic moments—the kind where love and laughter come effortlessly.

Awarded Best of Zola
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!

It's been a crazy ride so far, and I can honestly say I still love what I do! I am so grateful that 400+ wedding couples have trusted me to be a part of their weddings, to document one of the milestone days in their lives, and to create beautiful heirloom albums and artwork they can enjoy for a lifetime. Ultimately, that's what it's all about, serving my clients and creating an amazing experience.

Randy is the absolute BEST. We were lucky enough to have two beautiful, stunning, distinct sets of wedding photos from him -- one for our mini-wedding in 2020, and one for our bigger reception in 2021. Both times he captured the spirit of the day with an elegance, warmth, emotion, and vision that blew our minds and transports us back to the magic of the day every time we look at them. When you're running around and greeting people on your wedding day, you inevitably miss out on some sweet, funny, and emotional moments, but Randy captured them all so vividly that we don't feel like we missed anything at all. And he gave us a breathtaking new perspective on all the moments we do remember, helping us relive the joy from every angle. Beyond his talents, he was an absolute pleasure to work with, prompt with communication, and always made us feel at ease, comfortable, and cared for. Planning a wedding for 2020 led to a lot of confusion and stress on our end, and Randy was so patient and kind through every step of planning, and even the big day itself. When I had some pre-ceremony tears as a mix of worrying about my dress and pent-up pandemic anxiety, Randy communicated my stress to my husband-to-be before our first look so he could comfort me. I felt touched that Randy did that, going above and beyond his duties to make sure we had the perfect day. His work speaks for itself, managing to simultaneously be truthful to the moments and emotions he captures, while still creative, artistic, and innovative. He puts so much thought and heart into every photo, and the results are truly unbelievable. We are so happy we worked with Randy, and so incredibly thankful for the memories he's given us.

I’m so thankful to have worked with Dolen photography. They are incredible!! Joe was so nice to work with in the planning phase- he thoroughly explained the process, options, typical timelines, and all that goes with wedding photography! He also took the time to get to know us which was so great, we instantly felt comfortable with him! He had another wedding on our date but enlisted Charles as our lead photographer and Julia as the second. They were incredible! They helped pose us and gave us cues, found so many different spots to take the pictures, and they both had slightly different styles which has worked out so beautifully for my photos!! They were both so nice and enjoyable to work with, we’re so lucky to have had them photograph our wedding. They are true professionals with incredible artistic talent. One last exciting thing- I was promised a sneak peek of 25 photos- I got 75!!! And less than 72 hours later! That was the best surprise and made me, my husband, and our families so happy. We’re so excited to see the full portfolio which will be in only 4-6 weeks! I highly recommend Dolen Photography. Pictures are such an important part of the day and I’m so lucky to have had such important moments captured so beautifully.

I want your photos to feel warm, honest, and full of joy, the kind that bring you right back to how it felt to be surrounded by your favorite people.

We had the best experience working with Megan for our engagement and wedding shoot. She made us feel at ease and comfortable, especially as a couple who’s not used to being in front of the camera. Once we saw our engagement shoot pictures, I knew we had made the right decision in selecting someone to capture our special day! Megan helped us develop a timeline and prioritize elements and details of our wedding that were most important for us to capture. Our whole wedding day, I felt very comfortable and confident- I knew Megan understood our vision. She was very accommodating, making sure to capture what was important to us. Again, she made being in front of the camera feel effortless. I am blown away with the sneak peek pictures we got back. She absolutely captured our vision, our guests, and my husband and I perfectly. Everyone I’ve sent pictures to has raved about how amazing they look. Her photos are truly stunning and I can’t wait to see our whole gallery. I would absolutely work with Megan again in the future!

Hi, it's Jenni, I am a couples and wedding photographer based in Connecticut. I love hikes and adventures, nature is my natural habitat and my biggest dream is to travel the world. I am hopeless romantic and I will probably shed a tear at every wedding I attend or photograph, so if you see me wipe a tear at your wedding no you didn't lol. I am also a dog mom and I love animals in general, my puppy means the world to me! I am a dedicated, passionate, fun and caring person and I put love in everything I do. I can't wait to work with you!

Jenni is an absolute gem of a human and a phenomenal photographer. She is so sweet and such a lovely personality. We first worked with Jenni to take our engagement photos, and my husband and I immediately felt comfortable and familiar with her. We are not comfortable in front of the camera at all, but Jenni somehow made us feel like we'd been taking photos together with her for years. After our engagement shoot, I knew Jenni needed to be our wedding photographer. We more or less picked our wedding date based on her availability! A few weeks after booking our wedding with Jenni, she sent us the loveliest care package with a typewriter-written note and a few goodies. She puts so much thought and care into everything she does! On the day of the wedding, Jenni immediately hopped into action. She was patient, kind, and had such confidence in what she was doing (which was so needed, considering you're dealing with not just us as the couple, but our families as well). We were barely past the weekend after our wedding, and we already have sneak peeks! Jenni is a master! Looking at what she was able to capture is truly amazing. I usually do not like looking at photos of myself, but I can't stop looking at these pictures!! I can't believe the gallery she sent is just the sneak peeks - I can't wait to see what else she captured when we receive the full gallery in a few weeks! Jenni is truly the best at what she does. I can't recommend her enough!!

Elizabeth was the perfect photographer for our wedding! From our initial meeting, I knew she was the most qualified, prepared, and detailed oriented person for the job! She was so organized, and helped our day go super smooth. She provided questionnaires for us to make sure we were on the same page, and knew our values. We met a week before the wedding to go over details, and prepare for the big day which made us get super excited for everything too! My husband and I were a little nervous being the center of attention and in front of the camera the entire day, but she made us feel so comfortable and natural! She was familiar with our Church, and took the extra step to go to our venue prior to the wedding to familiarize herself with that setting as well! I did not even get started on how BEAUTIFUL the pictures came out! Her pictures can be described as light, airy, and fun! We could not believe how stunning and perfect she captured our day. We have gotten so many compliments on the style and edits of our photos. She even writes a blog with her pictures that summarize the day and captures all the moments! Elizabeth gave us the sneak peak 3 days after the wedding which was so fun to go through during our honeymoon, and was early to send us our final images back. I can't wait to use her for future life events, and will highly recommend her to everyone anywhere and especially in the southern NH area!!

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.

My husband and I got engaged in 2023 and had planned for our wedding to be in July of 2025. For two years one of our biggest challenges was finding a photographer that was in our budget, that would still provide us with the perfect product we had invisioned in our minds. We had searched high and low finding MANY photographers that will say they can adjust their packages to fit our budget, and still somehow come up with a total of 4000 dollars. Then we found Sam. I was hesitant at first because I wanted a specific style I hadn’t seen in her galleries, a more sultry- whimsical- cinematic/ dramatic candid feel. However when I brought that up to Sam she had reassured me that her range of editorial styles and shooting styles was very large as she’s been doing this for YEARS, and had sent me some separate more recent shots she had taken to prove that. We had talked very in detail for days about the hours ineeded from her, pricing, I also explained she would be traveling (which is never a problem for Sam. She loves traveling! ) and we had made a very well customized package trimmed to fit my hours and budget. In the end I received ALL the pictures taken edited exactly how we wanted them. On the wedding day Sam did an amazing job of helping, taking charge of things, and making sure all of our needs were met. I swear she was half wedding planner half photographer. If I needed people to do something she made it happen if I needed people to start getting ready for pictures-she was on it. Her time management is absolutely insane and such a blessing to have on your wedding day. She had some of the best ideas I’ve ever heard when it came to certain poses I wanted accomplished or specific visions I had. She was energetic, hilarious, and made sure everyone had the best time taking these pictures. I couldn’t recommend Sam enough. She truly is a photography wizard and will have all of your wedding day dreams come true.

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.

We used Sarah as our wedding photographer this past weekend and she was amazing! She was prompt and focused and ready to get some shots! I gave her what I had for some flat layout shots with our shoes, invitation etc, and she did such a good job putting it together. We also have so many photos from our first look to choose from as well as inside our venue. She sent us our photos in record time and I can't wait to go through them again!

We loved working with Jenn for our engagement and wedding photos! We were a little nervous at first, especially as we've never really had professional photos taken, but Jenn made everything so easy and made us so comfortable. Overall, she is just an absolute professional and knows exactly what to do. She did a great job managing our timeline and shot list and provided very clear directions with group photos so everyone knew exactly what to do. The photos themselves came out so beautiful and were above what we had envisioned. She did an amazing job capturing our day, our friends and family, and was even so flexible on the day off when we wanted specific photos by the lake we didn't realize we wanted until then. She did an awesome job taking advantage of our venue and the scenery. We also got sneak peek photos back within 48 hours, which was so incredible to view while on our honeymoon! Highly recommend Jenn, we couldn't have had our wedding day without her!
