Savage Wedding Co. 
Rating: 5.0 (10 reviews)
Portland, ME
  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $5,000

Savage Wedding Co. is for couples who want their wedding to feel like themselves — not a performance, not a production, and not something they have to manage all day. I work with a balance of structure and flexibility: enough direction to keep things moving, and enough space for moments to unfold without forcing them. I don’t chase perfection or try to smooth out every edge. Some moments are quiet. Some are awkward. Some don’t fit neatly into a highlight reel — and that’s usually where the honest stuff lives. I don’t rush past those moments or reshape them to look like something else. I let things be.

From start to finish, Magnus was so great to work with! He was super communicative, and was incredibly flexible when we needed to move our engagement photo date. He worked with harsh beach sunlight (and was only a couple days post-op on a leg procedure) and delivered our photos super fast! We hired him to be the photographer and DJ for our March wedding and the process was very smooth. He asked lots of questions about our preferences, helped us nail down a day-of timeline, and kept us relaxed! On our wedding day, he kept things moving and suggested some really cool photos to take that have ended up being some of our favorites! The music was also INCREDIBLE - he played nearly all of our requested songs and I didn't stop dancing all night! The guests raved about him, his second photographer (Hi, Jordan!!) and the music. Thank you for making our wedding day so memorable - we got the sneak peek photos back within 24 hours and we can't wait to see the rest!!

  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $3,400

Hi ya’ll! I’m Nat. I’m a southerner who’s recently moved to New England. I am thrilled to be a photographer and part of making memories with you! There is something truly special about being the person who creates lasting stories to share. My love for photography began when my great grandmother gave me her point and shoot camera, and since then, I have been hooked. Some of my favorite things include espresso tonics, thunderstorms, and bookstores. As a photographer, I live for the fleeting moments of light and stories. I do my best to capture those moments with my cameras, and I find great joy in doing so.

Awarded Best of Zola
My partner and I are both awkward and uncomfortable around being photographed. Natalie put both of us at ease, understood our vision, and helped bring it to life. She was responsive and supportive in the process of putting together the photoshoot, and very receptive to our creative ideas. We were absolutely blown away by the photos and amazed how she was able to easily direct us in a way that we didn't even focus on the fact we were being photographed. I highly recommend Natalie, especially as a safe and supportive photographer. We're grateful to have found such a wonderful photographer in Natalie to capture such important and loving moments, especially because both my partner and I felt unphotogentic and uncertain of how to show our connection prior to meeting her.

We hired Emily for our August 2025 wedding and could not be happier with our decision. Emily was absolutely amazing to work with and just added such a beautiful presence at our wedding. She was thoughtful and supportive of our needs and wishes, and helped to protect us from some of the family chaos going on, but also was fun and upbeat which matched our vibe perfectly. Even some of our guests told us they had noticed how sweet and fun she was! And then we got our sneak-peak photos back a few days after the wedding. THEY WERE AMAZING! More than anything we could have ever dreamed of - she and Emily #2 (2nd shooter) are so talented and amazing at what they do, it's just incredible. I never thought that we could have such beautiful photos of us as a couple and our wedding day - they tell the story of us, our relationship, and our beautiful wedding through photography. We are soo happy we made the investment to have Emily at our wedding - 10/10, could not recommend her more highly as an artist or as a human being. We love you Emily! Thank you so much.

My approach is prepared, intentional, and you-centric. It begins with a face-to-face conversation, where I learn what excites you, what feels important, and how you want your elopement to unfold. Photography is an intimate collaboration, and your comfort and confidence are essential. I’m attentive without being intrusive, providing calm guidance so your day feels natural, unrushed, and grounded.

Gabriel is a true professional. I felt so confident in his competence leading up to and during the wedding and it allowed me to fully be in the moment. His ability to put his audience and clients at ease and allow them to focus on their day is outstanding and we feel so grateful for the magic he was able to create and capture through that confidence.

I’m Edgar, an HTX-raised native with Salvadorian roots. I am the owner, creative director, and lead photographer at Anchor Studios Photography. I'm a wedding and elopement photographer based out of Pittsburgh, PA! However, the stories I capture don't start and end there. I love to travel to capture stories all around the world.

Awarded Best of Zola
I met Edgar, the owner of Anchor Studios several years ago when we both lived in Houston, TX. We met because I had just finished my degree and was looking for a photographer - he actually took my graduation photos! When it finally came time to book our wedding photography, I knew I wanted to go with him - no questions. His communication style is open and easy. He is responsive to all questions and requests which made the planning process a breeze. The quality of his work is truly top-notch, with beautifully curated photos that captured all the special moments of our wedding day. He is incredibly accommodating and guided us through every step of the way. He didn't hesitate when I even asked him to travel out to California for the wedding. It was awesome to have someone who is like an old friend and has seen us grow over the years capture our special day. Edgar, Anchor Studios Photography, was the perfect addition to our wedding day, and we couldn't be happier with the memories they've preserved for us.

I have been a photographer for 8 years. Throughout my time as a photographer I’ve captured clothing, models, and memories. I shifted from corporate shootings to families and weddings because it gave me this warm fuzzy feeling when I edited my couples and families photos. Don’t be afraid to reach out to me and ask about my photography style, my editing style, or my favorite restaurant! I highly recommend scheduling a free consulting session!

Grace is an amazing photographer! If I could give her 10 stars I absolutely would. She was amazing working with both of our crazy families and from the very beginning I knew that she’d do a great job capturing the special moments of our special day. She worked with everyone and did a great job explaining what everyone needed to do to get a perfect shot. She also was absolutely wonderful with our 2 year old son who would’ve climbed in the car and went home with her if he could. If I could do it all over again I would definitely always pick Grace to shoot our wedding! She was an amazing addition to the day and we are so thankful that we found her.

We had a great experience with Amative Creative for our wedding! One thing that really made them stand out was that they offer so many different editing styles to choose from, so we were able to pick exactly the look we wanted. They also got our photos back to us super quickly—about a week after the wedding—which was such a nice surprise. The photos turned out beautiful and they captured all the big moments and some great candid shots. I especially love how cool the dance floor shots turned out. We received tons of compliments on the pictures! Highly recommend!

Sarah is an amazing photographer. I looked at probably a dozen other photographers for our wedding, but my fiancé and I were both super impressed with Sarah’s work and affordability. We recently had our engagement photos done and I was an anxious mess since I don’t normally wear make up or have my photos taken. However, I’m OBSESSED with how the photos came out. I feel so pretty looking at them and they truly represent our love and goofy relationship. Cannot wait to see the photos from our wedding next year.

When I first started wedding photography, I made a goal of being more than just the photographer on your big day. I made it my goal to be your friend, someone you can crack inside jokes with, and someone who isn't afraid to get down + have fun at the reception (while still doing her job). I made it my goal to capture more than just photos, but an experience. Whether it’s high in the mountains, on a beach near the ocean, in a forest meadow - you deserve to get married however you want to & I want to capture it for you.

From the moment we started planning our wedding, Lexi from Hazel & Spice Photography was always quick to respond to our questions and concerns. She takes her job seriously and goes above and beyond to capture the shots that any bride dreams of having. On the day of our wedding, she showed up early and helped our bartender set up the last-minute charcuterie cups while I was finishing my hair—that's just who she is. Lexi wasn't just our photographer; she became a friend to us. Her work is incredible and her dedication to making our day special really stood out. We can't recommend her enough. And the results of her work, our photos from our special day turned out breath taking! Chose Lexi you will never be disappointed!

I have a long history as a photographer, starting in my twenties with large format view cameras, publishing a book of black and white portraits of Newfoundlanders, studying under Ansel Adams at his Yosemite workshops, and with Aaron Siskind and Harry Callahan at the Rhode Island School of Design. Now, my cameras and equipment are all the latest digital models, but I still rely on my experience and a well trained eye for capturing the optimal moment.

Awarded Best of Zola
When my now husband and I first found BrightWorks photography, I was most happy with the attention to color and detail, as well as, the limited editing they seemed to use in their photography. Photographers I had previously been looking, before finding BrightWorks, seemed to place a haze, white cast, or “gloomy” filter on their photography, instead we wanted our photos to be genuine and timeless to last for a lifetime. The BrightWorks team, Stephen and Rebecca, not only photographed the important details of our day but the images captured the colors, fine details, and warm energy our guests brought to our wedding day. Little did I know when we booked BrightWorks that my husband and I would be blown away by the images we got from our engagement shoot and wedding. Weeks before our wedding, Steven and Rebecca took the time to put names to faces before our wedding date so they could just find our loved ones for pictures. Steven and Rebecca truly were the perfect team, they were flies on the wall the entire day and wedding guests said that they seemed to capture every precious moment of the day. We could not be more grateful for BrightWorks.

Hi! I'm Christin, a destination wedding photographer based in Chattanooga, TN. Specializing in timeless and artful imagery, my expertise goes beyond just taking photos; it's about crafting a visual story that reflects the joy, love, and unique spirit of your celebration.

Working with Christin at Christin Sofka Photography was one of the absolute highlights of our wedding journey. From our very first inquiry to the days following our wedding, Christin has been nothing short of phenomenal—responsive, professional, fun, and such a warm presence throughout. We initially found her because of her stunning photography style, but it was her incredible personality that sealed the deal. From our first call, she genuinely wanted to get to know us—our story, our vibe, our vision—and it showed in everything she did. Before we even officially hired her, Christin was helping us find a venue that aligned with our dream, connecting us with other amazing vendors, and offering support in ways far beyond the role of a photographer. She was in it with us every step of the way. I’m usually awkward in front of a camera, but somehow Christin made it feel effortless and fun. She created an environment where we could just be ourselves—and that joy, love, and personality came through in every photo. Our pictures shine with who we are. Every idea we had, she embraced and brought to life in ways that exceeded our expectations. She was just as excited as we were the entire time—and honestly, I can’t imagine our day without her. Christin is not just a photographer—she’s a true artist, a cheerleader, and a calming, creative force you’ll be so lucky to have by your side. If you’re considering hiring her: do it. You’ll be singing her praises too.

A Charleston Wedding Photographer with a fierce love for storytelling, fostering memories and capturing those moments that you will want to treasure forever. I get to tell your story. And, I think that’s pretty cool. I love traveling everywhere and anywhere, talking with my hands, buying plants (and attempting to keep them alive), and spending as much time as I can with my loved ones. I have lived in Boston, Paris, and New York City, and am now lucky enough to call Charleston home, while also still traveling the world for my clients. You can usually find me on my back porch in downtown Charleston, right next to my favorite little park.

tldr: Jessica is amazing and I don’t think you can go wrong with her if this is the style of photos you like I had a lot of difficulty picking a photographer as I’m pretty picky with photos. I knew I wanted something bright and light, with kind of a whimsical or ethereal vibe, but it was really hard finding the style until I came across the “fine art” style. Jessica’s name came up while researching this style and I decided to reach out to her among a few other fine art photographers. I definitely hoped talks would go well with Jessica as the others I contacted ended up either not responding or were wildly out of my budget. Pre-Planning: Jessica was wonderful throughout this process. She promptly responded to my emails and answered questions clearly. I never felt like I was left in the dark for any part of the process. When I sent her the timeline of the ceremony/reception, she quickly came up with a timeline to slot in all the photos to be taken ahead of time at the location (We had access to the venue for a little over an hour prior to the ceremony). She also asked for a list of family photos that we wanted to take. This made it very easy at the wedding as she could call out people’s name to make sure everyone that was supposed to be in the pictures, were in the pictures. Jessica also sent over a list of ideas for detail shots and explained she could do this ahead of time. We didn’t want extra pictures of these and decided against it, however, I still thought it was very thoughtful of her to offer. Wedding Day: I loved her energy at the wedding. She was very calm and felt very competent. She directed my husband and I throughout the pictures, showing us poses etc. During family and wedding party photos, even though we had many bodies to fit in the frame in quite a few pictures, she led us through them with ease and the entire experience was very stress free (or as stress free as can be at a wedding lol). The venue was quite dim at specific locations, but the final results did not reflect that at all. The pictures were bright and did not look like they were taken in the dark at all. (This is a little off topic but I loved the little apron with pockets she wore for her equipment. So cute) I’m not sure when Jessica had the time, but there were pictures around the venue which were so beautiful. I definitely feel like the day was captured through the pictures. Post Wedding: Jessica sent us a sneak peak 2 days after the wedding containing 23 pictures. They turned out great and were beautiful. You can see examples on her website so I won’t elaborate, but they really are that good. The full gallery was sent almost a month after the wedding (minus 2 days) with instructions on purchasing prints or an album attached. The full download contained 650ish files, including the sneak peek pictures. Half of which were black and white, so this matched up pretty perfectly with Jessica’s estimation of the amount of photos when we spoke in the pre-planning stage.

Born in 1959 from a family of Cuban immigrants, my dad and mom were divorced soon after being born. It was in 1960 when my dad left for Cuba leaving behind a young impressionable son, many reels of 8mm movies, and a box full of photo negatives. It was these treasures, found 15 years later, that inspired me into a life of capturing life moments; being a Photographer. While at college, I learned about light, composition, and design. I also developed a love for black and white photography; owning my own darkroom for many years. When you hire me, you’ll get a “Master Of The Craft Of Wedding Photography”, I’m trained and AWARD winning!

If you want the pure, beautiful, raw emotion of your wedding day captured in photos, Robert Ortiz is your guy! Candids were the most important pictures to us, and WOW - we received the most amazing moments captured in a completely unobtrusive way. We couldn’t be happier with our photos. The ones of my grandparents are some of the most precious memories. Looking through our hundreds of incredible photos, I was sobbing all over again, feeling the emotions of that day at full strength. In addition to his talent and expertise as a photographer, Robert is extremely quick to respond to texts. He answers any and all questions and makes sure he understands what types of photos you value most. Photography is powerful, and the right photographer is absolutely worth the money. You will not be disappointed in hiring Robert!!
