**We are only accepting elopements currently, but can’t figure out how to change our listing!** Whether you are professionals passionate about your careers, are #vanlife, found love later in life, or can’t be defined by traditional labels, it’s YOU that makes “Kate & Keith Photography.” From our first meeting, we’ll be establishing a vibe. If we can’t conceive of future inside jokes, then we’re happy to make recommendations to some friends who may align. But if we get carried away by conversations of favorite hikes, or where you grew up, then you can bet we’ll be showing up on wedding day with all the excitement shared by your inner circle.

Awarded Best of Zola
We cannot recommend Kate and Keith enough! We booked them approximately 2 years before our wedding and throughout the entire planning process they were by our side, answering any and all of our questions. Beginning with our initial meeting, we immediately clicked with K&K and loved how down to earth, fun, and easy going they are. Their communication was top notch and their photos are even better. They allowed us to bring our dog to our engagement session and they captured our family's love in the most beautiful, authentic way. They were also incredibly accommodating for our wedding day timeline, both arriving early and staying late to document our special day. Because we feel so comfortable with them, their photos have captured our true, genuine love for one another. We will cherish not only the photos they have taken for us but also the memories we have made with them. 10/10 would recommend, they are amazing!

Gretchen was absolutely amazing! My bridesmaids all wanted different styles, from full updos to mostly down, and she did all of our hair flawlessly and with time to spare. My wedding was outdoors in the summer, and not a single hair was out of place by the end of the day. She was professional, kind, thoughtful, and it was very clear that she loves what she does. My hair has truly never looked better than it did in my wedding day. I absolutely recommend her!

We worked with Kevin Maldonado for our 11.17 ceremony and reception at the Granite Rose in Hampstead NH. Main Event was the recommended DJ service from our venue, and the matching process to put us with the rigth DJ was so easy. Once we met with Kevin, we had high hopes for our big day, and I am not exaggerating when I say that Kevin blew our hopes out of the water. Kevin helped with audio for our ceremony, before doing music and speeches at our cocktail hour and reception. We requested a high energy dancefloor, with classics from all decades to get everyone on their feet, and wanted to have an insane dance party with our friends and family. He killed it. The energy on the dancefloor was impeccable, and Kevin delivered our vision PERFECTLY. He was so professional, but fun, and everything went very smoothly, no hiccups, no complaints. I would absolutlely, 100% recommend Kevin, and Main Event Entertainment, for anyone looking for a DJ for a wedding or event. You will not be disappointed.

  • DJ
  • Starts at $5,000
  • Serves Strafford, NH

I’m Jay and I'm the owner of La Bella and The Beat. I spend my weekends entertaining, celebrating and partying with some of the best people I’ve ever met. Music has always been a passion of mine--from my boombox days in 1st grade, playing for whoever would listen from my neighborhood driveway, to when my DJing side hustle of 13 years became my full-time career in 2018. I’m a versatile mobile DJ serving New Hampshire, Maine, and Massachusetts (or really anywhere looking for a party). For the past decade, I’ve been rocking events all across New England. No my adventures even take the parties abroad.

Hands down, the best DJ in so many ways. Professional, personable, flexible and most importantly super talented and incredibly FUN! As a vendor in the events industry, we have worked with Jay and we are always excited to see him performing, bringing a group together to celebrate and see them having a great time. Personally, we have worked with Jay for our company events as well as our own family celebrations over the last few years. He reads the room, knows exactly how to keep the crowd going and seeing him behind his booth with his giant smile makes him a huge part of the celebration. We always hear compliments and rave reviews from our guests after a party with Jay. Half of our family is hispanic and is always requesting the latin hits, and he always delivers! He makes sure to get an understanding of the event, the invited guests and is always in communication so that he is prepared for it all! In addition to his talent. He offers a great photo booth option, which we use at all our holiday parties and an incredible lighting package to help enhance the atmosphere. He helps create and compliment the entire vibe at any event. Five Stars All Day!!! Thank you Jay for helping us create such wonderful memories for our team, friends and family!

Val Bozzi Photography 

5.0

  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,400
  • Serves Strafford, NH

Hey, I’m Val, wedding photographer for the rule-breakers and the “we’re doing it our way” kind of couples. If you’re ditching the traditions that don’t fit and building a day that actually feels like you, I’m all in. I capture the real, raw, emotional stuff with a dark and moody twist. No fake smiles. No cookie-cutter poses. Just your story—unfiltered and unforgettable.

Awarded Best of Zola
Val was, quite simply, amazing. We booked her for our wedding because we loved her contrasty, color-rich photography style and her composition was on point in her gallery - her use of light is stunning. Our engagement session was fun and she got, out of two people who consider themselves completely unphotogenic, beautiful pictures that capture our relationship, our love, and joy we experience when we are in each other's presence. It's like she can somehow take a picture of what you feel in your heart, not just how you look. I actually cried when I saw that gallery since she'd - in one session - undone years of anxiety around what I look like on film. I am blind in one eye and am older. When I was interviewing photographers, Val stood out as one who understood my concerns and she spoke of working with other brides with similar concerns while simultaneously celebrating my 'asymmetry' and life experience. In our sessions, she kept this in mind and seamlessly positioned me or suggested poses that would capture me best and, where needed, judiciously applied photo editing. Val was personally invested in our story and who we were as people and was consistently helpful throughout our wedding planning and wedding day. Val's excitement for us was genuine and I think that really matters when when you trust someone to capture your event. It felt like we were hanging out with a good friend during our photo sessions. Everyone who sees our pictures remarks on how gorgeous the photos are and how wonderful we look - including West Coast friends I have who are wedding photographers themselves! I think it says something that as our wedding day wrapped up, I began hatching ideas for ways to work with Val again - maybe a family photo session? 1-year anniversary session? I will not hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer.

My name is Dave Herring and I started Herring Photography in 2017. I live in Plaistow, NH with my wife Kalila, our son Davy, and our dogs Snickers and Chipwich. I have a dual background both as a pastor and as a financial analyst, but a few years ago, I bought a camera to document our trip to the UK and I never anticipated how much that would change my life. As a lifelong fan of photography, I became obsessed with learning about how cameras work and how to capture the important and beautiful moments of life.

Awarded Best of Zola
Herring Photography was an absolute joy to work with for our wedding photography. Their communication style is so easygoing, clear, and comfortable - they really put us at ease throughout the entire process. We felt they brought incredible passion, value, and a hard-working ethic capturing all the special moments of our big day. Herring called us a few days before the wedding to go over what moments and photos were most important for us to capture. This level of care really made us feel they were invested in understanding our vision. On the day itself, Herring was able to make us feel so natural and relaxed as they unobtrusively took candid photos that wonderfully encapsulated the joy of our wedding. We'd highly recommend Herring Photography for your own wedding or special event - their professionalism and dedication to capturing meaningful memories is fantastic value and left us with photos we'll treasure forever.

Laura and I met through a styled wedding collaboration (she was the hair/makeup artist and I was the baker) a few months before my September wedding. I remember thinking "wow, if I didn't already have makeup services booked, I would definitely book Laura." So when my original makeup artist cancelled on me due to COVID-19, I immediately messaged Laura of Dumont Styles. I am so grateful she was available and willing to travel about 1.5 hours away. I honestly feel she was meant to do my makeup for my special day, along with a few of my closest family member's makeup. I am fair skinned with freckles/red hair and requested a natural, but glam look--Laura NAILED IT! Laura is very professional (followed all COVID guidelines to keep us all safe) and also extremely prepared! Even though she was only booked for makeup services, Laura brought some hair stuff as well. This was super appreciated, especially when my mom's updo and my curls fell out!! Laura's skills and curling iron to the rescue! We still joke around that Laura single handedly saved the day! I highly recommend Dumont Styles for all your hair/makeup needs :)

Jessica is a floral designer and event stylist born and raised in Southern New Hampshire. Like most passions in life, Jessica’s love for flowers and plants started at a young age. From making fairy houses out of rocks, branches, and moss in her backyard to planting her own garden with her grandmother each summer. During college Jessica had the opportunity to work for a few florists in her home town as well as her college town. It was there she realized what she grew up loving so much could become a career. After graduating from the University of New Hampshire in 2018, Jessica opened her first studio out of her home to pursue her passion.

I am so happy that I selected Jessica and White Birch Floral Studio to do the flowers for my wedding! She was such a pleasure to work with. I didn't have much vision for what I wanted for my wedding flowers - I only knew what color I wanted my bridesmaids to wear. Jessica took this sliver of a vision and worked her magic for the rest. I cannot get over my beautiful bouquet flowers, the amazing table decorations, signage, and more. Everything made the venue come to life, and it made me so happy to look around the venue and see everything. I want to give an extra thank you for Jessica helping me out with my seating chart - my friend and I created some frames that we wanted to lay on out a table with the table information on them. When I told Jessica about this, she immediately helped me with the floral piece of this, and then provided crates to display the frames and even set everything up for us on the day. I'd recommend Jessica and White Birch Floral Studio to anyone getting married in New England - look no further and book her services!!!

Hi, I’m Sally! I am the farmer/florist/owner of Silver Street Flower Farm, a one-acre cut flower farm focused on seasonal flowers and regenerative agriculture. I’m a NH native, a Colby College Alumna, and a twin mom. I feel grateful I get to do something every day that builds my relationship with the natural world. We provide boutique design services for intimate events. Our designs are seasonal and feature our own flowers or blooms from other local growers. All the flowers for your special day are sustainably grown, inspired by nature, and curated just for you.

We couldn't be happier with our experience working with Sally from Silver Street Flower Farm as our wedding florist! From the very beginning, we were captivated by her amazing style and the thoughtful selection of flowers she curated. The fact that she uses locally grown flowers made it even more special, perfectly aligning with the vision we had for our wedding day. Sally truly understood the style I was envisioning and brought it to life with such passion and enthusiasm. It felt less like working with a vendor and more like collaborating with a friend who was just as excited about the project as we were. Even though I know she had many weddings before ours in September, Sally made us feel like ours was the only one. Her energy and commitment to making our ideas a reality were unparalleled. This incredible energy carried through every step of the process—from our initial consultation to the check-ins and communication leading up to the big day. On the wedding day itself, Sally went above and beyond. She seamlessly handled additional requests for setup, worked closely with our venue to ensure everything ran smoothly, and delivered the most stunning and unique bouquets we could have imagined. I wholeheartedly recommend Sally to any future bride and groom. Her talent is unmatched, her warmth and kindness make her a joy to work with, and her attention to detail is a dream for any couple navigating the sometimes stressful world of wedding planning. Sally is an amazing creative, and we are so grateful for the role she played in making our wedding day unforgettable.

I help couples plan weddings that actually make sense—for their lives, their values, and their budgets. I’m not a full-service planner, and I don’t do day-of coordination. What I do offer is strategic, expert support like budget creation, vendor sourcing, timeline planning, thoughtful support and honest guidance. You stay in control of planning, but I'll help you focus on what really matters so you can enjoy your engagement and start your marriage feeling confident and grounded.

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.

The NHC team was fantastic at maximizing the layout and effortlessly handling all the details and logistics. They were very hands-on, doing everything they could so my husband and I felt no stress. I would highly recommend Searles Castle if you're dreaming of a fairytale wedding - NHC Events made the venue shine and helped create the magical day I'd always imagined!

We used Captured twice (elopement ceremony and then wedding reception a year later) and were so happy with everything! Almost a year later and I’m still loving my photos and trying to find a reason to work with Rebecca again. As a couple that’s not huge on taking photos, she has a way of making you feel confident and comfortable in front of the camera. Will certainly be using Captured again in the future!!

Jaime & Eddie were the photography duo of our dreams. Their balance of artistry and realism comes together to make the most beautiful images that capture the joy and emotion of our day, while still hitting on all the major “bridal” points. From the beginning, Jaime and Eddie vibed so well with us, really taking our vision for engagement photos to the next level (even driving us around Boston in their car to find hidden gems). They took the lead on ensuring our wedding timeline was well rounded and encompassed everything we wanted to do for the day (even taking the curve ball of a boat ride in the middle of cocktail hour in stride). Although they had never shot our venue before, they drove over on their own time ahead of the weekend to walk around the property - truly going the unnecessary extra mile. The results of their calm and professional, yet fun and lighthearted nature are incredibly beautiful. A mere day or two after our wedding, we had dozens of stunning sneak peeks to look through and share. A month later, we are still getting compliments on how amazing they were in person and how beautiful the finished product is. Could not recommend them more!

My name is Jeni and I am from southern Maine who enjoys being outside and Mexican food! I love photography because it connects me with new people and I get to capture love and laughs and everything in between! I want your special day to be everything you ever wanted and more. I want you to relive the moment when looking through your photos and feel the love and cherish the memories that were captured.

Awarded Best of Zola
The title says it all - wedding planning requires many different decisions. Booking Jeni to capture our memories was one of the best decisions we made. From the beginning she was communicative, listened to what we were looking for and was accommodating. She adapted her style to our vision beautifully. Fast forward to the wedding day, as a Bride that felt like she planned out every scenario possible - I hadn’t (in reality, you can’t!). Jeni was the first person to step up, advocate for what I wanted and MADE IT HAPPEN. We have a lot of respect for Jeni as a person and a photographer. She has captured our engagement photos and wedding photos, and know she’ll be part of our future family’s memories for many years to come! Thank you Jeni, for not only supporting our dream wedding but helping make it possible, beautiful, and capturing all of the moments we’ll never forget!

We are passionate about creating a unique experience for our couples, a sustainable business for our planet, and dessert for all!

Martha was amazing!!!! We were blown away with Martha's capability in design, flavor and originality. She was very exciting and collaborative in developing the flavors we envisioned for our wedding day. As an Asian American, there is a void in Asian flavors in cakes/designs in the area of Maine/New Hampshire that we are in. She not only is excited about Asian flavor profiles but has training and experiences with this. She not only created a custom cake flavor (Honey Ginger Cake) but custom dessert bar as well (Adzuki hamentaschen, Matcha cupcake with strawberry compote and adzuki vegan buttercream, and Black Sesame-Dark Chocolate Mochi). The desserts and cake were absolutely delicious and everyone raved about the variety and expertise of the desserts. We definitely heard people say that our cake was the best cake they have ever had at a wedding. Not only did she make original recipes for our wedding, but also complied with the number of dietary restrictions that were needed for our wedding day (dairy free). Her cake design and attention to detail was amazing. She made a ton of little easter eggs of our favorite characters and symbols that were important to us. We have been so pleased and would use her again for any specialty desserts we may need for an event or just for ourselves. We cannot wait for our anniversary cake. She is so worth it. There were times she was busy that she warned us about that would make it hard to communicate with her. We understood and trusted her plan and process and couldn't have been happier with everything. Martha brings a ton of great energy to the process of wedding dessert planning. We strongly recommend her and for any Asians looking for an Asian styled/flavored cake, I would recommend Hanami Cake and as the greatest compliment from an Asian her desserts were 'Not Too Sweet." Absolutely Amazing!
