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.

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!

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!

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.

We truly cannot say enough incredible things about Joe and Elin. From the very beginning, they were an absolute dream to work with. They were professional, organized, responsive, and so clearly passionate about what they do. I actually found Joe and Elin through a recommendation from our DJ, and then I was lucky enough to collaborate with them through my job. Getting to see them work with so many couples before my own big day was such a gift. I watched firsthand how they care for their clients, how seamlessly they run a wedding day, and how consistently they deliver beautiful, emotional galleries. By the time our wedding arrived, I already knew we were in the very best hands, and they still exceeded every expectation! Throughout the planning process, they made everything feel easy and seamless. They answered every question, helped us feel prepared, and brought such a calm, confident presence that immediately put us at ease. On the wedding day, that energy meant everything. They kept us on schedule without ever making us feel rushed and somehow managed to be everywhere at once while still being completely unobtrusive. Everyone in the wedding party absolutely LOVED them and has said over and over again what a wonderful job they did. But beyond their professionalism, what truly sets Joe and Elin apart is their heart. They genuinely cared about us, not just as clients, but as people. They captured the big, emotional moments so beautifully, but also the small, quiet in-between moments that we’ll cherish forever. Some of my favorite photos were just our real reactions and emotions in the moment, and I love that. Looking through our photos feels like reliving the entire day all over again. They went above and beyond in every way, and we are so incredibly grateful they were part of our wedding. If you’re looking for photographers who are talented, dependable, and deeply invested in telling your story... Joe and Elin are it!

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!!

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!

Choosing who to hire to capture one of the most important days of your life is not an easy decision. We searched for months and finally stumbled upon Jocelyn Nicole Photography. We reviewed Jocelyn's work and instantly felt at peace, knowing she was the photographer for us. Jocelyn was so easy to work with. She listened to our vision and desires and fully understood the mission. Jocelyn captured each part of the day so beautifully and blended in so well that if we didn't have her photos as evidence, we wouldn't have even known she was there. She captured every little detail and special moment, and it was so nice being able to be fully present during the wedding knowing Jocelyn was photographing all of the memories we'd want to look back on for years to come. We were extremely shocked with how quickly Jocelyn delivered our Sneak Preview photos and the entire wedding gallery. The photos turned out so beautifully, and we cannot express how thankful we are to have hired Jocelyn to capture our wedding. Thank you!!!!

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.

The quality of their work is excellent, and they provided outstanding customer service. Beyond just being a talented photographer, Sam went above and beyond, helping out in any way she could to ensure our special day went smoothly. 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.

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.

Julia is truly an incredible photographer and an absolute joy to work with. Her warm, fun, and loving personality makes every moment feel effortless and enjoyable.

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!
