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.

I am SO excited that you stumbled upon my work! I shoot weddings all across Florida & New England! Capturing raw, true emotions as they happen is what I’m all about. I want to capture it all on your big day. From the moments of you putting your dress to the tears running down your face as you read your vows to each other.

From the very beginning, I felt like I could trust them completely. They were calm, kind, and so organized, which made a huge difference on a stressful day. The photos came out absolutely breathtaking, like something out of a dream. There are so many little details they caught my mom’s hands shaking as she zipped my dress, the way my husband’s eyes lit up when I walked down the aisle. The video was even more emotional than I expected. They layered in music that perfectly fit the moments, and I sobbed the first time we watched it. My whole family has said it’s the most beautiful wedding video they’ve ever seen. They weren’t pushy or in the way, they just blended in and somehow caught every single memory. I’ll treasure this forever.

I'm Eleni. I've been photographing weddings and elopements for over 10 years, on digital and film. Somewhere along the way I stopped trying to run the day, and started watching it — I'm at my best when I can disappear into a day: catching the look you two give each other before anyone else notices, the quiet minute before the ceremony, the stuff you don't stage because you can't. Most of my life outside work is spent outdoors, and the days I love most tend to end up somewhere with a view worth the hike. If you're planning something that leaves room for all that, take a look at my full galleries at elenipphotography dot com.

We absolutely loved having Eleni as our wedding photographer! She was friendly, responsive, and so helpful for planning our photo timeline! Her editing style is beautiful and we have received so many compliments on both our photos and our guests interactions with her since our big day! Got our gallery back fast too!!

I'd say my photography style would be something along the lines of "lifestyle photography". [That means that posing you in silly ways that seem fake / awkward isn't really my jam.] I mean, unless that gets some snuggles & laughs. I'm ALLLL about that. I like to capture REAL life with REAL emotions and REAL smiles. Your session should be relaxed and fun. [All while I get some kick-ass photos!] I will most likely make a giant fool of myself at your session, so you'll feel like a professional. I sing, trip, laugh, make noises, mention inappropriate things, show my nerdiness. AKA YOU'RE GOING TO DO JUST FINE.

Their photographers have an incredible eye for detail, capturing our special day in a beautiful, ethereal, and timeless way. They helped me feel relaxed and took care of everything, allowing us to truly be present and soak in all the joy and love. We are thrilled with the stunning photos that will allow us to relive our wedding day for years to come.

Hi, I’m Julie! I’ve been photographing weddings for about ten years now (holy cow, do I feel old!), starting with photographing friends' weddings and quickly falling in love with the work. While I adore capturing gorgeous portraits of the bride and groom and the quiet (and sometimes chaotic!), beautiful moments during a wedding/elopement/engagement session, those ridiculous candid moments (like when a stranger offers you a fry on the boardwalk during your bridesmaid photos) truly make your day uniquely yours. I'd absolutely describe my style as a mixture of classic, artistic and photojournalism, but my heart lies in capturing candid moments.

Awarded Best of Zola
Julie did an amazing job shooting our small elopement ceremony at Fort Williams Park. From the very first moment she made us feel comfortable and gave us some really helpful prompts. We had access to all of our edited photos within 48 hours and they truly are better than we ever could have imagined. We will treasure these photos for years to come.

It's been so hard to find the words to capture how much we loved working with Felisha - she is THAT good! Her work is incredible and our wedding photos are ones that we will cherish forever. She captured every moment big and small - and we notice new details or expressions on our guests' faces each time we look through our album. It's so meaningful to have these memories captured on both digital and film for us to reflect on for the rest of our lives and to share with others. Not only is her work amazing - but she is truly an amazing person as well! From the moment we first spoke on the phone for our consult, I knew she needed to be a part of our day and that she would give it the care and attention we were looking for. That feeling was only cemented at our engagement shoot and then of course on our wedding day. She made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera and helped us bring our best selves forward. We're so thankful for her and cannot recommend her enough!!

Capture the North was founded by multi-award-winning, and published photographer Sarah K. Marshall, and her husband, Christopher Marshall. Both are Marine Corps veterans and native New Englanders.

Her work has been displayed in the National Museum of the Marine Corps and her imagery was the cover art of Leatherneck Magazine.

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.

I’ve been making pictures since I was 12. My parents gave me an ancient 35mm Konica Autoreflex camera, told me to get after it, and the rest, as they say, is history. My role as a photographer is to capture the rare, vulnerable, epic, extraordinary, and wonderfully ordinary moments of life, as well as the beautiful details in between. I strive to make images that come from the heart and will tell your story for years to come. Also, I might cry at your wedding. It happens.

Awarded Best of Zola
I have to start by sending a huge THANK YOU to Jo for sharing her talent and art with lucky couples like us!! From the first call, we felt totally comfortable with Jo and almost immediately knew she would be the perfect photographer for our wedding. We were able to set up an engagement shoot to meet her in person (we live in NY and were planning remotely in Maine!) - she recommended the most incredible location and the results were honestly magical (see tiny humans, big rocks!). As for our wedding!!... Jo hopped around to multiple locations starting from getting ready to dance time, capturing, catching, creating, every beautiful or sweet or silly moment of the ENTIRE day. When the final album came through, we had the happiest tears!! I honestly cannot pick fewer than 100 favorites (gonna need at least 5 IG posts!). And with Jo you don't have to worry about the boring stuff. She asks for exactly what she needs to prep for the day, and she ensures the rest just flows! TLDR: my GenZ sister/MOH said "CALL VOGUE YESTERDAY, your photographer was *bleep* amazing!!!" Thank you, Jo!!!

I’m a New Hampshire wedding photographer, who specializes in candid, natural wedding photography, serving all of New England for over fifteen years. Almost all of my couples come to me saying that they feel weird in front of the camera and worried about how their photos will turn out. But of course they want those gorgeous, Pinterest-worthy shots! My laid-back attitude will help put you at ease, helping your true personalities shine through (with simple and fun guidance for the posed photos). And my quiet and calm nature makes it easy for me to blend into the background, to get tons of candid photos that you will make you laugh and cry.

From our first conversation with Brett, we knew we had found the right fit for our wedding day. She communicated with us every step of the way, making sure we felt supported and stress-free leading up to the big day—and even sent us a thoughtful care package a month before to remind us to enjoy the process. Brett captured everything perfectly, from the formal shots to the candid moments that made our day special. Her photos are gorgeous and vibrant, and we had them all back within a few weeks, which was amazing. The quality of her work is outstanding and worth every penny. We cannot recommend Brett Alison Photography enough to any couple looking for a photographer who truly cares about their vision and delivers beautiful results.

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 excited to get to share my passion with the world through Little Redd Photography.

Danielle is an excellent photographer! We hardly knew she was there! I love her personality and attitude! She did exactly what I asked and then some! She is funny and easy to work with!

Hi there! We're a husband and wife photography team that loves capturing genuine emotion and real moments at your wedding. We believe that there's magic in everything, and our goal as your storytellers is to capture that magic in a way that's honest and true to who you are. We focus on the unique elements that tell the tale of your day, so your final wedding gallery has a timeless storybook feel.

Awarded Best of Zola
Working with Jamie and Eddie of Magic Arrow Photography was an absolute dream. We knew we wanted a documentary-style approach—something cinematic, emotional, and honest—and we could not have imagined a more perfect team. Their artistic styles complement each other beautifully, and because they shoot both film and digital, the final gallery feels rich, textured, and timeless. From the start, their energy was exactly what we hoped for. We met in person for our engagement shoot over the summer, which put us completely at ease. Chris usually takes time to warm up in front of a camera, but Jamie and Eddie have such a natural, calm, friendly way of working that by the time the wedding arrived, it felt like we were spending the weekend with old friends. Some of our favorite images aren’t even the big posed moments—they’re the tiny, quiet ones we didn’t even know were happening. They captured emotion, movement, humor, and atmosphere in a way that feels authentic to who we are as a couple. Their instincts are incredibly sharp—they know exactly when to step in and help create a scene, and when to disappear into the background and let real moments unfold. They were wonderful collaborators alongside our videographer and every other vendor. And even though they are based in Maine, they were thrilled to travel to Brooklyn for our wedding, which made the day that much more special. We now have a gallery of photos we will cherish for the rest of our lives—and, unexpectedly, two new friends in Maine. If you want photographers who are wildly talented, emotionally intelligent, kind, and creative—hire Magic Arrow. We feel incredibly lucky that we did.

We’ve felt so comfortable around them throughout it all. They’ve answered so many questions about wedding planning for us and have instilled words of wisdom along the way. And OBVIOUSLY their pictures are beautiful - we have memories shot by them that’ll last a lifetime and beyond. We simply love these guys. -Emily Nick

Penny Antares Photography

  • Serves Portsmouth, NH

Hi! I'm Penny! I live in beautiful coastal New England, freezing slices of time in photo format since 2010 and I’m so lucky to love what I do. I strive to make my clients feel seen, at ease, and authentic. That’s just how the best pictures are made! There’s a lot of shape-shifting between director, fly-on-the-wall, and all the roles in between which means offering structure in the right moments and simply getting out of the way in others. For many of my clients, being in front of the camera is NOT a cozy place to be, and I do everything I can to make it feel safe and maybe even fun!? Your wedding is a great day to be unabashedly yourself.

TLDR: Penny is an artist and if you want photos that stand the test of time, hire her. When we were researching photographers, my inspiration was my grandparents wedding photo album from the 50s. Shot on film, no posed photos, full of life and not sterile and shiny — just family, friends, and a party. Thinking about our wedding photos, I wanted to sense the person on the other side of the lens, someone w/ a perspective that would bring the pictures to life. And boy did Penny deliver big time. My SIL’s first comment was “These belong in Vogue!” I’m so grateful to her for capturing these moments that, decades from now, we (and future generations!) can look back on and be able feel that day and all the joy it brought. No less important, Penny was such a fun and supportive presence on the day-of. AND she did it all while on a heeling sail boat, an incredible feat! I’ll wrap up by just saying thank you, Penny, and hire this woman!!!!
