Midsummer Flowers is a floral design studio based in North Central Massachusetts. We specialize in creating one-of-a-kind floral designs for weddings and other celebrations and events, by combining the perfect balance of timeless romance and garden-inspired whimsy.

“Every bride dreams of her perfect wedding. For me, having a beautiful and unique bridal bouquet was something very important to me in making this dream a reality. I had no idea what sort of flowers to choose, but showed Tracy my vision and my color scheme and she created magic. The florals in my bouquet were one of a kind, gorgeous, perfect for the fall season, and very, very fresh. Tracy transferred all the flowers for myself, my bridesmaids, groomsmen, and parents safety and remained extremely fresh. Tracy is truly a floral artist with exquisite taste and outstanding talent. Her attention to detail was demonstrated throughout each flower arrangement. A specific aspect that comes to mind is that she placed fresh rosemary into my husbands boutonnière to represent his parents catering business. It was a special surprise on our big day. I made sure everyone knew where the flowers were from and felt proud to know they came from Tracy. If anyone is in need of flowers of any kind they shouldn’t hesitate to book Tracy at Midsummer Flowers.”

Antonelli Visual Media

Videographer
Storytelling style
Starts at $3,895
Serves Shirley, MA

When I was 12 years old my grandfather left his Canon Camcorder at my house "by accident" (I still say that he knew how much I loved it and left it on purpose). Ever since then I've had a passion for filming and storytelling. We film all kinds of events, commercials and sizzle reels for social media, but a wedding day is different. It's joy, it's tears, and it's butterflies. It's old memories colliding with new ones. It's a simple and common celebration but one that it truly unique for the couple experiencing it...and I love capturing every moment!

“Having Bob from Antonelli Visual Media as our wedding videographer was one of the best decisions we made. From our first meeting, Bob’s warm personality and great sense of humor instantly put us at ease—he felt more like a friend than a vendor. On the wedding day, Bob was everywhere and nowhere all at once—always capturing the perfect moment without ever being intrusive. His ability to read the room, crack a joke, and keep the energy light made us and our guests feel so comfortable in front of the camera. The final video is absolutely stunning. He captured the atmosphere beautifully—the emotion, the laughter, the magic of the day. Our vows were filmed in such a timeless, moving way, and the way he wove the speeches throughout the video gave it so much heart. We especially loved how he showcased the joy of our guests—so many smiles and happy tears! Bob has an incredible eye, amazing editing skills, and the kind of presence that makes your day even more fun. We’re so grateful for the memories he preserved. Highly, highly recommend Antonelli Visual Media!”

Keepsakes by Katie

Videographer
Storytelling style
Starts at $1,820
Serves Shirley, MA

Hey there! Katie here. I'm a scenic artist for theater by day and a videographer by night(s and weekends)! Keepsakes by Katie originally started as a nameless passion project to film a home-movie-style cross-country road trip with friends back in 2017. I found myself most interested in filming my friends as they were, and that's the same approach I've taken to my wedding films - candid storytelling, capturing real moments of your day in real time.

“Katie was a total dream to work with as the videographer for our wedding! Starting from our first conversations, she was a lovely collaborator, asking great questions, getting the sense of what we wanted stylistically for our video, and always approaching with compassion and care. We love the final film SO MUCH, as well as the highlight reel!! We watched the film back on our anniversary and felt transported back to that day—she beautifully captured the ceremony, speeches, details of the day, and moments with guests we’d have otherwise missed. We will cherish Katie’s work forever!! Highly recommend working with Katie to capture the magic of the day!”

Hi there! I'm Nia, a wedding and elopement photographer based in Boston, MA but obsessed with traveling. I love the days when I stumble upon a new landscape, learn something new from a stranger or aimlessly drive until I end up somewhere decent. This is why I love storytelling. My favorite stories to tell are by far the love shared between two people. Storytelling and making a moment last is what drew me to photography. Documenting your day in an honest, soulful way that shows who you are is what I strive for.

“Nia has a natural eye for capturing the most beautiful wedding photos I've ever seen (coming from someone who grew up in a family of photographers). From the first meeting to receiving our wedding photos, she was so communicative and trusted our vision, and she used her amazing ability to capture the best moments of the day. Nia is also such a fun and genuine human! We loved spending time with her through our meetings up until the big day and our engagement pictures and just made everything perfect. When we received the final album, we couldn't find one picture we didn't love, and loved how she was able to capture little details that even we missed! She's a true visionary and has an eye for photography that is truly a born skill. Nia we loved having you be apart of our wedding day and cannot wait to see you grow even more and the other beautiful weddings you photograph!”

Venue considerations

Not wheelchair accessible
No free parking
Best for events with big guest lists

“As a wedding planner, I have the opportunity to work with a lot of wedding venues throughout the area and my experience at The Armory was nothing other than perfect. The team was responsive to all vendors, including a demanding (and rude at times) caterer, and offered a lot of flexibility to my clients about how they wanted the room set up, and how they wanted the timeline to flow - it truly felt as though we were being welcomed into their space and guided through the process vs. some other spaces we've worked with that felt restrictive and controlling. Overall, if you're looking for a creative space that you can transform to whatever you want it to be, this is the space for you.”

Beyond the wedding day, Wei Yuh also played a significant role in my bridal shower, bachelorette party, and especially, our honeymoon planning. Her itinerary for our two-week Hawaiian honeymoon was spot on, and her recommendations for activities and accommodations were truly unforgettable. We wholeheartedly recommend Wei Yuh to any couple seeking a flawless wedding experience. Her dedication, professionalism, and tailored approach are unparalleled.

“Amy is a gem to work with! She is flexible with our unusual wedding schedule and was communicative the entire time. One of the things that really made us decide on picking Amy was her way of editing photos. She keeps the photos true to color but more enhanced and higher quality. It still looks very bridal and clean but without the weird tinted filter that many other photographers use. Highly recommend Amy and her team for all types of photography needs!!”

I love documenting, observing pretty light, and having a camera on me at all times, even if it's just my phone. When I'm not behind the camera, I'm hanging with my wife and my three kids, exploring new areas in and around Boston, enjoying the great outdoors, or viewing our beloved Boston/New England Sports teams. Go Revs!

“Brett is hands down the best wedding photographer we could have ever asked for. He was highly recommended to us by a family member, and honestly, hiring him was the best advice we took throughout the entire wedding planning process. From the start, working with Brett was like working with a close friend. He got to know us and made us feel extremely comfortable in front of the camera. As a result, he was able to capture photos that were meaningful to us. For instance, as bird lovers, we were excited to encounter baby geese while taking our engagement photos, and Brett incorporated them into the shoot for us. The photos he took on our wedding day truly captured the special moments and emotions of that day, and they are absolutely gorgeous without being overly edited. He just has an amazing talent for finding the best light and backdrops for both posed and candid photos. Observing his process was a lot of fun. We will definitely hire Brett again in the future and we would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone.”

Hi! I’m Amanda, and I am deeply inspired by the opportunity I have to tell love stories every single day. I specialize in sharing your special moments, capturing your joy, and exploring your unique and beautiful world through my lens. I've been photographing weddings, couples, families, and brands since 2016, and have been creating and telling stories professionally since '09. In a different life I was an event producer and music photographer, having photographed everyone from Nas to Fiona Apple. On a good day you can find me in my home office surrounded by plants and cats, snacking on a burrito while listening to a podcast + editing photos.

“I found Amanda while working as a wedding coordinator at my own venue. She sent the couple's wedding album to all of their vendors and I completely fell in love with her work. My now husband and I got engaged last November and I knew we had to have Amanda photograph our wedding. We purchased a package along with an engagement shoot and it was perfect! We got the photos back and knew we had made the right choice, so excited for our own wedding day. Then COVID hit. We originally had a large wedding planned for this November but due to the unknown future of the virus, we decided to hold a smaller ceremony and reception with close family and friends this past September. Amanda couldn't have been more accommodating! We were able to change our date with her and she was so responsive to all of my emails changing photo groupings and timelines. She also would regularly check in with us, making sure it was known she was there if we needed ANYTHING. Our wedding day was perfect! She made everything so easy and fun - we felt so comfortable with her! Her photography is so natural and she captures every moment perfectly. We HIGHLY recommend Amanda. Our family and friends are still raving about the album. We couldn't be happier!”

Why go with us, when you may have another option or two to look at? Well to keep it simple is because we love what we do, and get to love the people we do it for. We tend to start off as strangers meeting for the first time, then turn out to smile and laugh, maybe tears of joy also throughout the day. The day is not only important to you, but to your family and friends. To the next generation coming after you who will dust off and look at your photos and say “Mommy what was up with your hair,” those are the ones who will relive your wedding with you through your photos the most.

“Kat and Aram are a phenomenal duo! From our info call with them about 2 years prior to the wedding, we had a gut feeling they would prioritize our wants and document the night as if they were guest (with great eye for angles) at the wedding. We are truly mesmerized by our photos of not only us but our guests (making fabulous birthday and holiday gifts)! We cannot recommend Kataram Studios enough for photography and videography.”

“It’s impossible to fully express how wonderful PAGU is, both as a standalone restaurant and as a wedding venue. As Cambridge residents, we had eaten here with friends and family and knew the food, drinks, and service were excellent, and I hosted a work event with a partial buy out that everyone enjoyed, so it quickly came to the top of our list after we got engaged and were looking into wedding venues. From the very beginning, the staff, especially event manager Amanda, were so easy to work with, and they were very flexible to make the space, menu, and overall wedding very personal to us. After a cocktail hour with both passed apps and stations, we opted to have a buffet style wedding so we could accommodate a variety of palettes (our families are from different cultures: Chinese/Indonesian and German/Italian), everyone could find something they liked, and we could show off a seafood paella in a large format paella pan. They even offered a Thai pesto dish that is not standard on their menu! They were also extremely conscientious about guests with food allergies, clearly marking them on menus, and even going to specific guests (especially those with celiac disease) and providing separate non-cross contaminated dishes. They also managed the flow of tables and buffet line efficiently and flawlessly, which can’t be overlooked, as we’ve been to weddings where this wasn’t the case. Our guests all told us it was the best wedding food and cocktails they’ve ever had, and we were so excited to share one of our favorite restaurants with them. The space was perfect for our 110 person wedding. The outdoor patio was a nice space for a cocktail hour and provided a quiet place to hang out when the dance floor later opened. The main restaurant is much larger than it looks, so it manages to feel intimate while still fitting over 100 people without feeling cramped. We had the DJ upstairs in the mezzanine like a real DJ booth, which allowed him to have a great read on the dance floor and assure no one was sitting right in front of a speaker. Finally, they cleared the front two large tables for a dance floor that was plenty large enough for everyone to dance for over 2 hours. Finally, we were thrilled to use our wedding to support a local business that not only has a mission to serve excellent food and drinks (they’ve received James Beard Award nominations!), but also to build community. Chef/owner Tracy Chang founded several nonprofits during COVID to provide economic relief to restaurant workers and donate meals to hospital workers, and she and PAGU have been hosting roundtable events to start conversations about sustainability, culture, and community. We first heard of PAGU after my sister went to a roundtable event about using invasive green crabs in cooking! We knew hosting a wedding was going to be an investment, and while we would have been so happy choosing PAGU for our wedding for the myriad of reasons above, we felt especially great about putting our investment into a place that cares about the world and community around it. We could not recommend PAGU enough for your wedding!”
