We had our wedding at The Red Barn this past May and everything was beyond perfect! Our wedding coordinator, Alex was so on top of everything during the planning stages and throughout the wedding itself. She is so incredible and we feel so lucky to have worked with her! The entire staff at The Red Barn was so amazing as well. The space is stunning and the food and drinks were incredible. We truly cannot say enough good things about The Red Barn! We had our reception and ceremony indoors and the fireplace backdrop was absolutely perfect. The space itself is beautiful and we really didn’t feel that we needed to do a ton of decorating which lessened stress and saved us on decor costs. However, all we really had to do was drop off what decorations we did have and Alex and her team took care of set up and breakdown with our vendors. We really didn’t have a single worry the weekend of the wedding. The amazing staff at The Red Barn took care of it all. We also stayed at Stage House Inn the weekend of the wedding and got ready there. Darien was a pleasure to work with and made coordinating room blocks so easy! The bridal suite comfortably fit all the girls getting ready (12 total people) plus 4 hair and makeup girls. It was also the perfect room for getting ready photos! We held our rehearsal lunch at The Links restaurant and the staff was so accommodating! We had a last minute reservation for around 25 and they took us no problem. Excellent and affordable food and drinks! Overall we had a perfect experience with every aspect of The Red Barn. We absolutely would recommend it to anyone looking for the perfect spot for their wedding!

  • Serves Sanford, ME

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
Hiring April and Jordan as our wedding photographers was one of the best decisions we made for our entire celebration. From the very beginning, April communicated with such care and consistency—checking in, asking thoughtful questions, and making sure every single wish we had was understood and honored. I always felt supported, heard, and genuinely excited after every conversation. When our wedding day arrived—the greatest day of my life—I truly believe their charisma, warmth, and attention to detail played a huge role in making it feel so magical. They brought the perfect balance of fun and structure, and our families still talk about how incredible they were to work with. It felt like having two close friends guiding us through the day, cheering us on, and capturing every moment with intention. And the photos… wow. April sent us a sneak preview within 24 hours, and my jaw was on the floor. Every image was stunning—full of emotion, beauty, and authenticity. Our full album arrived so quickly, and we loved *every single picture*. Their talent is undeniable, but it’s their heart and presence that make them truly exceptional. April and Jordan are now officially part of our family. They will be at every major life event from here on out, and we can’t wait to have them by our side to help us remember all the special moments still to come. If you’re considering them—don’t hesitate. They are an absolute must.

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
We could not have asked for a better wedding photographer than Julie! From start to finish, she was absolutely incredible. She was so responsive and easy to communicate with during the planning process, and on the big day she went above and beyond to make sure we got every shot that mattered to us. Julie seamlessly traveled with us to multiple locations throughout the day, capturing everything beautifully while keeping the energy fun and stress-free. One of the biggest highlights was how quickly she delivered our photos—our full gallery was edited and ready before our honeymoon was even over! The images are stunning, and we’ll cherish them forever. Julie has such an amazing eye for detail and a gift for capturing genuine, natural moments. We are beyond grateful to have had her as our photographer and can’t recommend her highly enough to anyone looking for someone talented, professional, and truly dedicated to making your day unforgettable.

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!

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.

Seriously the best makeup artist of all time. I am so incredibly happy that Maekalah did our makeup for my June 2025 wedding at Lareau Farm Inn in Vermont. From the trial to the wedding day, she crushed it and somehow made everything even better than the inspo pics I shared. She is truly the best person to spend a wedding morning with. Her funny and sweet commentary kept me calm when it would have been so easy to stress. My trial was SO good that one of my bridesmaids, who wasn’t planning on getting makeup, changed her mind and booked with her. Then on the wedding day, my makeup was obviously fire, so another bridesmaid decided on the spot to get her makeup done too. Maekalah was so flexible and made it all work seamlessly. She made each of us feel gorgeous, confident, and so special. On top of being insanely talented, I feel like we became real friends through the process, which made the experience even more fun. Love, love, LOVE her. Thank you Maekalah, you are truly the best New England makeup artist and I cannot recommend you enough!

We had the most wonderful experience working with Kim and the Hyla Brook Estate team for our wedding. Their communication was easy, thorough, and detailed throughout the planning process. They were so easy to work with and made the process enjoyable for us. The venue itself is a beautiful modern farmhouse with so many ways to decorate - they truly helped us create a wonderful Christmas/winter wonderland for our special day. They completely understood our vision, took thoughtful care with every detail and brought it to life. Wedding day was so relaxed and stress free for us as they handled every detail and made sure the day went smoothly for us. We are beyond happy that we decided to trust Hyla Brook Estate with such an important day for us and absolutely love how everything turned out!

My business started when I was planning my own wedding. I love flowers, but we couldn't justify spending hundreds or thousands on real flowers to throw them away in a week when we also found out we were expecting our first child at the same time. In came wood flowers! After much practice, I discovered I have an eye for colors and floral design and now 4 years and MANY weddings and THOUSANDS of home decor pieces later, this is not only my passion but it is also my full time business. No side hustle here! You will have my undivided attention. I'll make sure your floral dreams come to life in wood and the best part, they LAST FOREVER!

Kate was incredible to work with!! She literally made all of my wedding flower dreams come true! And a year later when a couple flowers in my bouquet got ruined (during our move) she fixed it for me without hesitation! So kind, very cost friendly, and SO TALENTED!!!

Every wedding I plan is approached with the same care, consideration, and attention I would give if it belonged to someone I love. That philosophy shapes every recommendation I make from the biggest decisions to the smallest details. My background is in hospitality, so creating experiences where people feel welcomed and cared for has always been at the heart of what I do. I bring that same mindset to every wedding, helping couples navigate the planning process with guidance they can trust and creating celebrations that feel genuine, meaningful, and entirely their own.

My wife and I worked with Danielle at a venue and she was so fantastic, we followed her from one venue to the other. We were so interested to work with her, we sought her out. The building, the amenities and the food…important? I guess… but not as important as the person who is going to help you keep the event on the rails, be in your corner the whole time and do everything she can to make your day the best it can be. Someone once told me, “a bunch of things are gonna go sideways on your day, you’ll know, but no one else will. Just enjoy the whole thing.” Danielle made sure to make our day as perfect as it really turned out to be. It was 5 years ago and people still comment on the day. You want more reasons to work with Affordably Ever After, feel free to reach out!

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.

My spouse and I were lucky enough to have Jo take photos of us for our September 20th elopement in Portland Maine. Prior to the big day, we spoke with Jo on the phone and knew she would be a great match for us. She was thoughtful, quick to respond, and answered all of our questions. She even touched base with us in the days leading up to our elopement. On the day itself, she came to our home for some pre-ceremony photos. Although she had had a stressful morning due to some car trouble, we never would have known. Our two dogs (one of whom is not always people friendly) quickly warmed to Jo and she got some great shots of them as well. We made our way over to city hall, where we got more photos, and she even signed as our witness. She gave us great direction on poses, which was definitely appreciated. After, we all shared in a meal together before my partner and I exchanged private boys, which Jo also caught some amazing photos of. We received our sneak peek very quickly, and our full gallery two months later (on our two month wedding anniversary, which was such a lovely surprise). We truly couldn't have imagined our day without Jo. The photos were incredible and truly captured exactly what we'd had in mind. We continue to feel very fortunate that she was available to work with us. We had a lot of fun with her and it felt like we got to spend the day with a close friend rather then someone we had just met earlier in the day. If you are looking for a Maine based photographer, you cannot go wrong with Jo!
