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.

NH Images Photography Content was an excellent choice for our wedding photography. From the start, their communication was knowledgeable, efficient, and very understanding of our needs. The quality of their work was truly professional and excellent, capturing all the special moments in an inclusive way. Our photographer was punctual, discreet and very friendly, putting us at ease throughout the day. Our desires were slightly different from standard and our photographer adapted seamlessly, ensuring our wedding day was perfectly documented. We are thrilled with the final photos and highly recommend NH Images Photography 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. Photography is a way to relive all those fleeting moments, including the ones you missed, over and over. It's important now, and it's foundational to building your legacy. 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.

Awarded Best of Zola
I cannot express enough how grateful we are to have found Chris to capture our special day. However, it goes beyond just that singular day. We had first met with Chris in person for a meet and greet, which I would have never thought to play such an integral role in the process. He demonstrated so much passion for the trade and was already so invested in making sure he was exactly the photographer we were looking for so we could truly get the most out of our day. He also took the time to visit the venue after our meeting to get an idea of what he'd be working with. Chris went above and beyond, every step of the way. He even made it a point to come during the rehearsal as well to be even further prepared. Everything flowed organically with his direction which took away so much stress from the day. Professionalism aside, Chris is just a good dude all around. We're so happy to come away from this experience with not only an amazing portfolio of memories, but a passionate and charismatic friend.

Brilliant Lens Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (3 reviews)
Swampscott, MA
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $1,600

Photography has been part of my life since 2009, long before it became my profession in 2015. My background is rooted in fine art, where I learned to slow down, observe, and pay attention to the subtle details most people pass by, the way light shifts, the space between moments, the emotion that lives in quiet gestures. That perspective naturally led me to wedding photography. Rather than staging every moment, I approach weddings as living stories, unfolding in real time.

If you’re looking for a wedding photographer who captures the day without making it feel like a photoshoot, Jason is truly exceptional. From the moment he arrived, he was incredibly professional and thoughtful, but what stood out most was how discreet he was. It never felt like he was in the way or orchestrating moments that should have been natural. Because of that, my husband and I were able to fully be present and soak in our wedding day—and somehow he still captured every meaningful moment. I’m Indian and my husband is not, and Jason beautifully captured both the cultural intricacies of the day and the genuine emotions behind them. Looking through our photos, it’s amazing how many moments he caught that we didn’t even realize were happening at the time. We also received our photos sooner than expected, which was such a pleasant surprise. And the quality is absolutely stunning. The memories he captured, the quality and his eye are priceless. If you’re considering him for your wedding, do it. You’ll be so grateful you did.

Visit my Instagram for contact info and more photography! — ErinWholleyPhotography • Weddings are a culmination of love, life, happiness, family history, commitment, art, and so much more. My love for photography and the importance it plays in remembering cherished moments spans decades. Photographs are one of the only tangible items you receive after your wedding day (aside from the memories) to help you relive this time for the rest of your days. I will hype you up all day long to make sure you are enjoying every aspect of your day with your partner— that’s truly what it’s all about!

Okay where do I even start? Erin is the absolute sweetest, a true gem! My mother in law referred her, and we couldn’t have been luckier. She made Matt and I feel so comfortable and confident the entire day, and even weeks leading up to the wedding day. The one thing I would recommend is hiring her, because your wedding day is the most chaotic overwhelming beautiful experience, and she keeps you cool, calm, collected and fully present. There would be moments where I would get overwhelmed, and she would just remind me to take a deep breath and enjoy it because it truly goes by in a blink! All my girls and Matt’s guys LOVED her she was hilarious and SO bubbly it would just put a smile on everyone’s face! She also was able to control in a calm manner two wedding parties and a large family, which is hard to do! Love love love her, you need her for your special day! I will be using her for all future shoots (maternity; baby, family etc if she allows LOL)

Marian was an absolute dream to work with, and we could not be happier with our wedding photos. From start to finish, she was professional, calming, and incredibly attentive to detail. She captured every important moment so naturally and beautifully, and her eye for composition is unmatched. She is also an amazing colorist — the tones, lighting, and overall mood of our photos are stunning and timeless. Nothing feels over-edited or washed out; every image feels intentional and true to the moment. We will cherish these photos forever and cannot recommend Marian enough.

I'm Marc Sadowski, a New England wedding photographer with 20+ years of experience capturing weddings across New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Maine, Vermont, and beyond. My approach is candid and documentary — I stay back, watch, and wait for the moments that happen when you forget the camera is there. I learned photography as a photojournalist, where you get one shot or you miss it forever. That instinct drives everything I do on your wedding day.

We had an absolutely incredible experience with Marc! When we were interested in booking him, he recommended we have a call first to discuss our vision for our wedding and the logistics we knew of so far. After we booked, we had another call the month of the wedding to go over all of our details. He left no question unanswered and was able to make sure we incorporated everything we wanted for photos into our wedding. Day of our wedding, Marc could not have done a better job capturing our first look, family photos, portraits, ceremony, and reception. He led us through a series of poses that felt natural and had us both at ease the entire time. We relied on his expertise for backgrounds and overall vision of the photos, and he exceeded our expectations. He was great with our friends and families, and captured any photos throughout the night that we requested. He went above and beyond getting the photos back to us in a timely manner. I can’t recommend enough hiring Marc for your wedding or event!

Hello! I am Tessa, a wedding and elopement photographer based in New England. When I shoot for you, I am capturing your day, your way, no stress attached. I strive to create a stress free experience, so that you can focus on what truly matters — each other and enjoying every second of your wedding day.

Awarded Best of Zola
My husband and I had some trepidation around choosing a photographer for our elopement, mainly because we really wanted any photos taken to reflect the two of us, and our relationship, authentically. We wanted intimate, personal, simple, and classic...and we found all of these things in Tessa. Tessa always put our vision at the forefront of her work, and she worked with us every step of the planning process to make our elopement seamless. She suggested venues, worked with our busy schedules to coordinate planning meetings, and even served as our officiant. Throughout it all, she was the perfect balance of honesty, warmth, and professionalism, and we would work with her again in a heartbeat. Thank you, Tessa, for everything. You are amazing!

Available for MICRO-WEDDINGS & ELOPEMENTS only: I’m a Virginia transplant who makes her home north of Boston! I’m obsessed with the diversity and energy of the city, but also with how easy it is to escape to nature in New England. As an introvert, I definitely need both! I’m married to a handsome fellow creative (of the wordsmithing and storytelling variety) and we love our homebody life together. I’m a photographer because I think people are fascinating. Because memories are fleeting. Because we all need some beauty around us to help us remember how incredibly blessed we are to be alive.

Awarded Best of Zola
I was searching for a photographer in the Boston area to capture the moment I propose to my girlfriend when we visited Boston. I was referred to Lorna's website and I was very impressed with her portfolio/website. I reached out and received a quick response! We set up a zoom call to get to know each other. Lorna was very nice and professional. She offered great advice and really wants to get to know you and your partner. I was very impressed with Lorna overall and 10/10 would recommend.

Hi, I'm Jess! I'm a wedding photographer who loves capturing real love stories. My style is relaxed, joyful, and focused on those unscripted moments that make your day unique. Let's create timeless photos together!

Jess was incredible! As a resident of the Pacific Northwest attempting to plan a wedding in Massachusetts, I didn’t have any idea where to start when it came to finding a photographer. I found her via Zola, which led to her website and instagram. I knew she was the perfect person from her first email response to me. Her email showed that she had read the answers that I had written into her inquiry form on her website and I felt seen, heard and understood. We jumped on a call the next week and immediately knew she was the perfect fit for us. Leading up to the wedding we had one more video call and then had the opportunity to meet in person a few days before the wedding, which I appreciate she took time to do. The day of the wedding, Jess captured our day beautifully while giving us direction on how to pose, how long to kiss etc., and we certainly needed direction and instructions for all of that. She took amazing photos of the ceremony and I didn’t even realize she was there, running around capturing so many moments and memories. We got our preview photos the day she promised and they blew my mind. They were so INCREDIBLE. I cannot say enough good things about Jess. She was the perfect person to capture our perfect day and if I needed to hire a photographer on the East Coast, I would 100% hire Jess, I’d even fly her out to the PNW! Thank you, Jess for everything!

  • Serves Swampscott, MA

I’m a photographer for people who don’t resonate with traditional wedding photography. For those who want their weddings to be told like a story that features every bear hug, belly laugh, stolen glance, spilled drink, booty shake, and happy tear. For those who prioritize genuine and unscripted moments over trends and shot lists. For those who don’t want to feel like they’re wasting their day posing for the camera. For those who are inspired by the past and hopeful for the future. For those looking to create a little bit of future nostalgia.

Caroline is not only a professional through and through - he is a delight to be around! Working with her on a wedding last season was seamless and FUN. She made the couple, the entire vendor team, and all guests feel so comfortable. Her approach is laid back with the right amount of guidance and the result is exceptionally beautiful and authentic photos. Her deliverables are timely and timeless - I promise you'll love every photo. I can't recommend Caroline enough to any couple who is looking for romantic and authentic wedding photos and a photographer who quickly becomes a friend!

I’ve loved photography for as long as I can remember, and I’ve been lucky to make it my life’s work for decades. I specialize in capturing people in their environments, the connections between them, and the small moments that reveal their humanity. Weddings are a favorite because they’re full of real joy, love, and the moments that make life feel alive. My approach blends a documentary eye with a fine art perspective, creating images that feel honest, thoughtful, and true to the people I photograph.

Terri was the perfect choice for our wedding photography. We booked her just one week before our wedding day. Regardless, Terri was prompt and professional in her communication. On the day, Terri guided us through the various shots, capturing the day, the scene, and our outfits with stunning color and light. She put us at ease despite our camera shyness. One of our favorite photos was an unplanned shot of us on my motorcycle as we passed it on the street. Upon seeing it, we instantly knew that it would be the one we frame to capture the day. We were thrilled with her work capturing our elopement and highly recommend Terri.

Hi there! I’m Alexandria, a wedding and lifestyle photographer based in the Boston area. I’ve been in love with storytelling through photos since I picked up my first camera at just eight years old. My goal is simple: to create timeless, authentic images that reflect the joy, love, and little in-between moments that make your day uniquely yours. Before I turned my focus to weddings, I built my career photographing red carpets and editorials for Popstar! and Cosplay Culture Magazine, where I had the chance to work with artists like One Direction, Bella Thorne, and Stephen Baldwin.

Alex graciously shot our engagement and post-engagement festivities and did a fantastic job capturing the weekend. Alex is incredibly professional - she already scouted the locations and knew where to shoot, while still provided a fun and carefree experience. She brought a creative energy that made the photo session feel relaxed and enjoyable. The final photos were absolutely beautiful - timeless shots that captured all the special moments of our engagement weekend. The quick turnaround was also impressive, as we received the full gallery shortly after the event. AKM Photography came prepared, knew exactly where to shoot for the best lighting and backdrops, and were a pleasure to work with from start to finish. We couldn't be happier with the photos that will help us remember our engagement weekend forever.

My work is vibrant, moment-driven, and authentic. I love focusing on your connection as a couple, what makes you and your wedding unique, and your interactions with family and friends as you celebrate together. My approach to wedding photography leans toward a documentary or photojournalistic style with a fine art element (I graduated from Wellesley College with a degree in studio art). While I might suggest an area with great lighting to stand in, I will never ask you to “pretend” to do anything. Ever.

We met Danielle at an LGBTQ wedding expo while searching for photographer that had experience photographing two dress weddings, a niche market we quickly figured out, and immediately fell in love. Her photos capture the moment and never feel overly posed, which won over my camera shy wife immediately. We did our engagement shoot on the streets of Salem and Danielle managed to capture the love we have for each other and made simple store fronts look like a Christmas wonderland without making the shoot feel like work. By the time we got to our wedding day, we had absolutely no concerns about her ability to capture the day as a single shooter and she definitely didn’t disappoint! She created the most perfect first look so we could take a moment together before the ceremony began, melted into the background and got a million candid photos of our night, set up the PERFECT photo flash dance to get some silly photos of our friend groups, and corralled our blended families for gorgeous group shots.

Live your wedding, love the story! Do you desire to be present on your wedding day? No need to perform, just experience your celebration with your friends and family. Tired of every wedding looking the same? Based on the Northshore of Boston We produce authentic images that capture YOUR celebration in a candid and documentary way.

Working with Ben was an absolute delight. From the first call, he clearly understood our priorities and gave excellent advice to help us get the photos that mattered to us. We've had several opportunities to work with him, and in each case, we've ended up with so many amazing shots that it's hard to pick a favorite. Our first shoot was our engagement shoot. Ben had several suggestions for making it unique and did a great job of helping us relax and feel comfortable. He was incredibly flexible with us on a colder day than anticipated. And he still captured the delight and intimacy that make our relationship what it is. Next, he shot our super secret wedding ceremony at Dearly Studios. He was the perfect addition and helped make an extraordinary day even more memorable. The photos are so fun and joyful - I feel like I'm there. Finally, Ben photographed our big wedding at the Bradley Estate, and it seemed like he was everywhere all at once. Several guests commented on his efficiency and how much he seemed to get on film. Ben was also incredibly flexible working with my large, unruly family. He managed to capture every moment, from the big joys to the small dramas and he got every single face I could make in at least one photo. Looking at his shots from the event feels like looking at a high end photo essay of my life. Working with Ben was a fantastic experience. His expertise and professionalism helped put us at ease and allowed for some truly stunning photographs. From the engagement shoot to the wedding ceremony and finally to the wedding day, Ben's ability to capture every moment and emotion was remarkable. We cannot recommend Silver Salt Photography highly enough to anyone needing a talented and passionate photographer.

Hi, Mark Here! I love telling stories with photographs and photographing a packed dance floor. For the last 17 years, I've been a documentary wedding photographer. Since then, I have developed a method and approach that enables me to document weddings that keep the day stress-free for you. My laid-back personality makes people feel at ease. This lets me catch honest moments showing how special it is when family and friends celebrate you. If you want your wedding photos to be stress-free, unscripted, authentic, and love a dance party, we should chat!

Mark handled both photo and video for our wedding, and we’re blown away by how much he captured. He filmed everything — the ceremony, toasts, and all the dances — with a single camera, and the full edits looked and sounded fantastic. On top of that, the photos are beautiful and tell the story perfectly. He made the whole process easy from start to finish.

Hi! I'm Amanda! I am a lover of color and light, whose portraits are full of genuine emotion and life. I am a documentary style wedding photographer, and I very much enjoy capturing all the little in between moments as much as I do the big moments of your day. I want you to be able to look through your album and see the moments you may have missed while you were saying I do- your sister getting a little misty while you take your vows, your aunt taking shots with your besties. I want you to see the love you share with your partner reflected in your gallery.

Amanda was truly one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From our very first conversation, I knew she was someone special. We kept trying to plan our engagement shoot, but the weather had other ideas, and through all the rescheduling she was nothing but kind, flexible, and hilarious. She’s so down to earth, and we instantly clicked. I completely fell in love with her photography style and editing, and I am beyond happy that I trusted my gut and chose her to capture our wedding day. Amanda has this incredible ability to be completely professional without ever feeling stiff or intrusive. She somehow knows exactly when to quietly document a moment and when to step in and take charge, which trust me, was appreciated more than once on our wedding day! She always had my back. And then there are the photos… I genuinely could not have dreamed of anything more beautiful. She captured every emotion, every tiny detail, and somehow made everything feel natural and authentic instead of overly posed or staged. Also, can we talk about the flat lays?! Hello?! Absolutely obsessed. The attention to detail was unreal, and those images are some of my favorites. Amanda, thank you for giving us memories we’ll treasure for the rest of our lives. You are incredibly talented, and I cannot recommend you enough!

Hello my dears- I'm Connie. Through many years, I’ve devoted myself not just to image-making, but to discovering what makes a life beautiful: the simplicity of slowness; the quiet intimacy of touching a loved one’s face as sleep arrives. I’m drawn to kindness, feeling terrified but moving through to the other side, dancing alone in public, covered in sunlight. My work is shaped by watching how others love, by giving more than feels comfortable, by laughter so deep it brings tears. I try to see without judgment. To stay curious. To exist, as much as possible, with joy inside this fleeting, incredible moment we’re in right now.

I’m so grateful my husband and I had the opportunity to work with Connie for our wedding this winter. She is an absolute delight — professional, thoughtful, easy to work with, and truly exceptional at what she does. During our search process, it was important to me that we find someone we felt genuinely comfortable with. From the beginning, Connie made us feel at ease. She brings a calm, warm presence that makes you forget there’s a camera in the room, which shows in the photos. And the photography! Connie has a remarkable talent for capturing the small, magical moments of intimacy and connection — between family members, friends, and throughout the celebration — as well as the overall feeling of the day. Shortly after the wedding, Connie shared a highlights video, and my husband and I were blown away. The quality, artistry, and emotion she captured felt like true craft. Your wedding won’t feel like “just another event” to her, which feels very rare. We’re so happy we found Studio Atticus and could not recommend Connie more strongly. You will not be disappointed!

My name is Yi and I am a passionate wedding photographer that serves the greater MA & NH areas. When I'm not sipping on a latte that my lovely wife makes me in the morning, you can usually find me hanging out with my 3 favorite kids in the world. I’m a family man who dedicates majority of my time to three beautiful child and my lovely wife. I’m a basketball player. I don’t function well without a cup of latte. I’m a photographer who eats, sleeps and dreams about creating craft. I’m the guy for those of you who thinks you are awkward in front of camera. I am Yi.

Yi presents incredible work and imaging when it comes to photo shoots. His artistry creates beauty in capturing special moments and his professionalism and ease to work with make him the ideal vendor. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone I know.

I am a self proclaimed romantic at heart, always have been. After 19 years of marriage, I am a believer in true love! Photographing the special day for couples of all ages and walks of life, is a real joy and I get a charge of excitement for each gig. Anyone that has met me knows that I am an extroverted person who is always on the move; always talking and thinking; and often engaging with others. I make everyone feel at ease. As a wedding photographer I leverage my experience as a pro along with my personality.

Jim has truly become such a great friend in this process. The biggest thing you want to feel on your wedding day is comfort and support. Jim goes out of his way to make this happen. We first met and worked with Jim for our engagement photos. We had so much fun! Jim wasn't afraid of getting in the sand and water to get our pictures in the ocean. When our wedding was postponed, Jim was there to shoot our elopement (and keep the secret)! After waiting for eight months, we finally had our wedding. Even though it was raining, Jim captured every moment of our amazing day. We will be working with Jim for all of our photography needs in the future. Thank you, Jim!

Alyse Grimm is the creator behind Things to do in Salem [dot] com. In addition to working in tourism in Salem, MA she is also a wedding photographer with 200+ weddings of experience and her work has been published on major wedding platforms. Her knowledge of the north shore combined with her experience makes her a natural fit for your north shore wedding. Alyse's style is photojournalistic with an eye for small details. She is less fond of posed photos. Alyse is open to travel but is giving priority to weddings on the North Shore of MA and to weddings that are non traditional/showcase the individuality of the couple.

Alyse worked with my fiancé and I for our engagement shoot at Beacon Hill. Since we are from out of town (NY) and the shoot took place at the height of Covid, this required some strategic planning on both ends. Alyse was so kind and flexible to work with. She assured us that even if last minute changes due to Covid had to happen, she would work with us. I was very stressed with the entire situation, but Alyse’s calm, reassuring personality put my mind at ease. She has many great ideas, but also listens to your vision and is open to doing shots that you like. We loved the way she captured who we are as a couple, in a place that is special to us. We received many compliments on our save the date cards which featured the photos from our shoot. If you are looking for a photographer who is easygoing, open minded, and knows the MA area well, then Alyse is your girl!
