The Best Photojournalistic Wedding Photographers in Shirley, MA

I think there’s a real absence of authenticity in today’s world. Everywhere we look, people are polishing themselves into a perfect image for the internet. But that’s not where the beauty is. The beauty lives in the real moments — the big, loud, messy, emotional, human ones you can’t stage or script. That’s what I chase. Since 2016, I’ve been documenting weddings for couples who want to feel present, relaxed, and fully themselves. I gravitate toward the candid, the unplanned, the way a glance turns into laughter and a quiet moment becomes unforgettable.

I have a photojournalism degree from the oldest and most prestigious journalism school in the country. TIME Magazine, The Wall Street Journal, and U.S. News and World Report have all hired me to photograph assignments for them. Whether I’m capturing moments for a national audience or for a single family, I draw on my storytelling background to honor the truth in all moments big and small. My job isn’t to create beauty. My job is to see the beauty already there. All work is personal work.

The day after your wedding, will you remember the groom's reaction when he sees his bride for the first time, the emotion on dad's face when he gives his daughter away, the tears that come when vows are said, the laughter during the best man speech, or grandma getting down on the dance floor? You have spent so much time planning for your wedding day and it goes by in a blink of an eye. That's why it is so important to professionally capture the day via photography and content.

YOU'RE GETTING MARRIED. You're about to spend months planning, researching, and investing in a single day that you'll never forget. That's why preserving it is so important.

Your wedding photos are not only for you, but for your grandparents and grandchildren. Your wedding day will be celebrated and remembered through the eye of your Wedding Photographer, so choosing someone who fits your vibe and brings out everyone's genuine personality is essential.

Why, hello there. I'm the creative behind the lens. I am a Canadian who pursued his true love, got married and found himself in the United States. It turns out, it can take some time to receive permanent residency, which led me to pick up a camera and fall in love with the art.

I strive to be inclusive, so if you aren't seeing yourself reflected in my portfolio, I aim to change that to make sure others feel seen too.

Hey hey! I'm Abby: youngest of four sisters, cat mom, self-certified Malbec connoisseur, lucky wife to a goofy Puerto Rican man named Mike, and most recently the newly-minted mom to our chubby cheeked little one, Nico. I love to meet new people, try delicious new restaurants, dance whenever there is music playing, and I've been known to dabble in karaoke. In 2014 I took a giant leap out of the comfort of my 9-5 to start my business, leaving the world of copywriting and fashion behind to pursue my long-time love of photography. It has truly been one of the best decisions I ever made! I absolutely love what I do!

I'm California laid back, with a bit of New England hustle. I love to be near water and to read books on real paper. (But my Kindle is cool too.) I've listened to the Hamilton soundtrack about 300 times. When it comes to love, I believe commitment and unconditional acceptance are more powerful than fate. I've been told I'm kind of a photo ninja - I'm magically everywhere that the action is, but never obtrusive or in the way. (Coolest compliment, right?)

I’ve traveled around the world photographing people and places, and I’m proud to call Boston my home base. I love everything about weddings. Perhaps part of that is because of how happily married I am, how much I enjoyed planning and experiencing my own wedding, and how much happiness I still get from looking at the pictures from my big day. Those images will be with me and bring me joy for the rest of my life. To be able to give someone else such deep and lasting happiness from the images I create just makes me truly fulfilled.

Hi, I’m Danielle! I'm from Massachusetts and currently live in Chelmsford with my fiancé and our cat, Darryl Strawberry. I'm a very easy-going, positive person who is always looking on the bright side of things. I like to stay busy and I work a lot, but I balance my work with time in nature, trips to the sauna, and classes at the gym. I lived in Spain for 5 years and am fluent in Spanish. I have traveled quite a bit (and still do!) and love to explore new places & meet awesome people! I love nights in cooking & bingeing shows with my fiancé (currently watching What We Do in the Shadows).
