Reading, MA
  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,500

I believe wedding photography should let you stay present while your story is captured naturally. My approach is relaxed and candid, blending authentic moments with creative portraits that reflect who you are. For more than a decade, I’ve photographed weddings across New England—from Cape Cod beaches to rustic barns and city ballrooms. My couples value not just the images, but the experience—calm, easy, and stress-free—resulting in timeless photos that feel as genuine years from now as they do today.

Shawn did such a fantastic job photographing our wedding day. He was truly a pleasure to work with and put us and our families at ease throughout the day. He is incredibly talented and captured so many beautiful candid moments, we could not be more happy with how our wedding photos turned out! Highly recommend!

Hello! We are The 1999 -- an energetic band with an unforgettable lead female vocalist, two dueling male vocals, and powerful rhythm section that dishes out songs spanning multiple decades and genres.

In addition to being the band of choice for many couples, you've probably seen us at clubs, charity events and corporate parties all over New England. Are you ready to transform your event into an epic party?

Awarded Best of Zola
We couldn't recommend The 1999 enough!! We first saw them at the Thirsty Moose bar in New Hampshire. That night, we had such a good time that we decided we wanted them as our wedding band over the other more traditional soul/r&b band we had in mind. They were able to play a lot of modern rock and pop favorites for us and our friends but also throw in a few classics for our parents and older guests. They even let us help decided the final set list to ensure a wide variety of songs. Working with them was such a breeze as Rob and Alex are so incredible detailed-obsessed -- we didn't have to worry about a thing because they gave us the confidence going into our wedding that they had it under control from pre-planning to end of night. We couldn't have asked for a better band and we are now happy to call them friends for life! Such great people, amazing professionals and talented musicians.

PK And The Mighty Seven 

5.0

  • Band or Ensemble
  • Serves Reading, MA

PK and the Mighty Seven has been celebrating with newly married couples since 2016! We were originally formed as a Jamiroquai tribute band, playing mostly music by the famed UK group along with other songs we enjoyed. Since that time, we've expanded our song list and played many weddings, which we love to do!

Awarded Best of Zola
Let me start by saying that we are not the type to write reviews for anybody - good or bad - but for the sake of future individuals/couples looking to book PK and the Mighty Seven we feel obligated to say that if you are looking for a band to entertain whatever party you are hosting you MUST choose PK and the Mighty Seven. To start, Matt was incredibly communicative and responsive during the initial planning stages, promptly responding to e-mails and joining several Zoom calls leading up to our event. We had a vision for our special day and they accommodated each and every one of our requests. On the day of they arrived early and did the necessary prep work to ensure they were fully situated to provide our guests with the night of a lifetime. They took special care to accommodate our unusual first dance request, song recommendations, and the ambiance we sought to instill. We had a wide array of guests and the overwhelmingly consistent feedback we received was that the band was AMAZING. No exaggeration - the majority of our guests said they were the best band they'd ever experienced. If you are getting married or have a special event in their area you will be doing yourselves an immense disservice not to hire them to make your evening as spectacular as you want it to be.

Awarded Best of Zola
Joseph and Erika played a huge part in how special our wedding day was. We genuinely enjoyed every single part of working with them, from the beginning stages including them hearing our vision and vibe for the wedding, during the planning and using the app which made outlining our event and plans so easy, to the event itself where they really engaged all of our guests and got the party going. Even though we had a brunch wedding, Joseph and Erika helped it feel like we were "dancing the night away!" We had so many of our guests immediately after the wedding and for weeks after comment on what talented and amazing musicians Joseph and Erika are and how fun they helped to make our reception. We loved that they included both live renditions of all of our favorite songs as well as had a killer DJ playlist. Definitely don't miss out on the sing along songs. This duo is so easy to work with and they were so gracious when we fumbled a little on the timing of our event and added an additional hour only to their set only weeks before the wedding. All to say, we are just so grateful we found Joseph and Erika! They are gems.

Awarded Best of Zola
Working with Julian was a literal dream! When I first started working with Julian I didn't have a clear vision, I had vibes (lush, moody, romantic) and he walked me through the design process and every possible option to make that vibe a vision. Their proposal was comprehensive and included bespoke touches, like a section for "floral ingredients", so I knew exactly what to expect for price, style, and design. While all of our florals turned out so stunning and better than anything I could have imagined the one that always stands out in my mind is the wearable floral lapel that Julian created for my partner. It was such a unique twist for a suit wearer and added the perfect dramatic touch!

Working with Alexis has been such a joy! We found her over a year ago and she did our engagement photos, and immediately we vibed with her. She brings such a good yet professional energy to her time with couples, and even though we were a little awkward she reassured us the photos would be great. And they were! She is a great communicator and answered all emails and texts within a reasonable time, and was overall so easy to work with. While we haven’t gotten our full album back yet (we just got married less than a week ago), the engagement photos were incredible and the wedding sneak peeks even better. I heard so many good things from our guests on how they found her professional yet sweet and personable. I would recommend Alexis to anyone as her work speaks for itself, and she was truly a delight, and I hope we get a chance to work with her again!

He read the room perfectly, keeping the vibe fun and upbeat early in the evening, and then seamlessly transitioning into a full-blown club experience just like we asked. What really sets this company apart is how well they prepare. Their website asks thoughtful, detailed questions ahead of time, which made the day-of experience completely stress-free. They truly tailored everything to our vision and crowd (ranging from 30 to 60-year-olds), and the result was a packed dance floor all night long. I would choose David and the Black Diamond team again in a heartbeat. They helped make our wedding unforgettable!

HIRE CASSIE!!! There are so many reasons to hire Cassie, including that she is absolutely a lovely human being, but it really boils down to she will make your whole wedding better, both from your perspective and your guests’. We were definitely that overly anxious couple who thought about eloping at every other decision. Cassie greatly reduced the stress on our plates by doing all the research so we could actually enjoy making the decisions and envisioning our day. Anything we didn’t absolutely love, Cassie would come back to us with new options, helping to fine tune the vision so the day perfectly fit us. When we were worried we were behind schedule or over budget, Cassie and her phenomenal organizational skills always helped reassure us of the timeline and that we were in fact coming in under budget for our wedding. And she did all of this while we lived in California, planning our Massachusetts wedding. At one point during the process, my partner,Cassie, and I were in three different states, but she always found the time to meet and made sure she was always available for us. The day of the wedding, we got so much feedback from our parents and the bridal party that they have never seen a wedding run so smoothly. Even the hairstylist noted she had never seen a bridal party so relaxed and on schedule. At our wedding, with Cassie handling all the day-of coordination, we were able to simply be guests of honor and enjoy the evening. Our wedding ended up being beyond our wildest dreams and it is really all thanks to Cassie.

Devens Common Center was the perfect wedding venue for us. From the moment we first reached out, their communication style was immediate and helpful - if they didn't know the answer to one of our questions, they kept us updated while they researched it. The staff was incredibly friendly and patient with all of our many questions. The venue itself was beautiful and exactly what we were looking for - an all-inclusive package with a hotel on-site for our out-of-town guests. Devens was the ideal space for our special day, and we couldn't have been happier with how everything turned out. We highly recommend this venue to any couples looking to host their wedding celebration.

Our daughter just celebrated her wedding this past weekend at the Kimpton Marlowe, and I can't imagine a more perfect experience! We visited quite a few venues that we loved, but once we found KM and Rachel, we knew we had found our place. I'm not sure where to begin! The planning process was never stressful thanks to Rachel's patience, professionalism and organizational skills. Our daughter lives out of state, and I can only imagine the insane amount of emails that flew back and forth between her and Rachel! She kept us all calm, and we were always confident that the day would be perfect because of her extraordinary efforts. The venue itself has everything a bridal party could want. It's in an accessible location for out of state visitors to explore Boston and Cambridge. The staff are all warm, friendly and eager to help with anything. The price is very reasonable; we had ruled out Boston/Cambridge because of our budget, but KM turned out to be right on target. There is convenient parking on site. We were offered a block of rooms in the hotel for an amazingly good price, so that our guests didn't have to worry about driving after a big party! The food was exceptional, from appetizers to dinner and even late night snacks of pizza, cookies and milk! The reception room was gorgeous and is very easy to work with because of the neutral colors. I think one of our favorite parts was that we had the entire second floor of the hotel to ourselves! The ceremony, cocktail hour, reception and even a room for the bride to retreat when she needed to change was all included. The younger guests danced until the very end, and the "older" parents and guests found a quiet spot to hang out in the lobby area outside of the reception hall, filled with comfortable sofas, chairs and tables. All who attended were happy with the many choices to party, relax and mingle. In my opinion, KM and Rachel are a still a hidden gem in the greater Boston area. I hope this review helps to get the word out that they are the place to go if you are looking for an affordable option with fabulous spaces, delicious food and most of all, an event planner who puts her heart and soul into everything she does. Thank you, KM and Rachel! 3

I cannot recommend A Natural Arrangement, Florist enough for your wedding flowers and decor. From my first conversation with Jessica, I was impressed by her prompt, detailed, professional, and caring communication style. Jessica asked thoughtful questions to truly understand my vision and style inspiration for the floral designs. When I saw the exquisite final arrangements on our wedding day, I was blown away by the attention to detail and extra special touches they she added. My bouquet and the ceremony arch were simply stunning works of art, with creative uses of texture and color that perfectly aligned to my vision. Even two weeks later, I still have one of the arrangements looking fresh in my home! My husband and I agree that besides our actual ceremony, the flowers from A Natural Arrangement were one of the biggest highlights of our special day and truly exceeded our expectations. Their team went the extra mile and delivered an incredible value - I cannot thank them enough for contributing to our dream wedding!
