There are not enough words to express how incredible Lindsay and Nathan are. Recommended to us by a friend, Lindsay and Nathan were the perfect fit for us as wedding photographers. From our very first call to our wedding day, Lindsay and Nathan couldn’t have been more professional. They are willing to do anything to make your vision come to life. From traveling, to building an effective timeline, clear and frequent communication, and incredible planning, they made our wedding day a dream. Going into this experience, my husband and I were nervous about being in front of the camera. Lindsay and Nathan helped to make us feel comfortable and confident. As a result, we have photos of our engagement and wedding that truly capture who we are. Lindsay and Nathan’s work is truly unmatched. We received our entire engagement album within a week, photos to share from our wedding the very next day, a sneak peek of our wedding album within 72 hours, and our full wedding album within a week of our wedding. The day of our wedding, it felt like I was working with a close friend. Lindsay was encouraging and calming during any stressful moments that arose and truly helped to make the day run smoothly. I am genuinely grateful for both Lindsay and Nathan’s time, creative energy, and work. They are passionate about what they do and it shows. I could not recommend Lindsay Eileen Photography enough. They are an absolute dream to work with!

It's been 12 years running this small business as a Boston wedding photographer, a New England wedding photographer, working all around the greater Boston area and traveling to destination weddings as well. It's been a crazy ride so far and I can honestly say I still love what I do! I am so grateful that 250+ wedding couples have trusted me to be a part of their weddings, to document one of the milestone days in their lives and to create beautiful heirloom albums and artwork they can enjoy for a lifetime. Ultimately that's what it's all about, serving my clients and creating an amazing experience.

Awarded Best of Zola
Randall was AMAZING to work with! I'm sure as a wedding photographer you need to deal with a lot of unique personalities and unexpected situations. Well I can tell you that Randall is an expert in both of these skills! Like every family, we had our share of characters at the wedding. Unlike most, we had to reschedule (twice), move venues, AND had an additional small ceremony (outside in unseasonable snow) in the height of COVID (Oct 2020). Randall was accommodating, kind, and creative. I'd give him more stars if I could!!

We don't try to be on-trend, rather we are intuitive with the flower and our clients and let the flower speak to us.

Awarded Best of Zola
Working with Naomi for our wedding florals was a DREAM and an exceptional experience from start to finish. We cannot recommend her and her team at Nectar and Vessel highly enough to other couples getting married. One of the best decisions we made for our wedding was hiring Naomi and her team and giving her complete creative freedom. She took that freedom, and spun floral magic into the most beautifully designed space we have ever seen. Her love for florals, and for creating beautiful moments for others shines in her work - and isn’t that what you want on your wedding day? To be surrounded by love through flowers that all your guests can feel? That’s the magic Naomi brings to weddings that is impossible to replicate. The floral designs and artistry that Naomi and her team created for our day were simply stunning. Beyond being beautiful, they were unique and felt personal to us. It was the talk of the wedding that none of the guests had ever seen a display like the florals at our wedding, and that each tablescape and design felt like a work of art. A few things additional things about working with N&V we’d like to highlight: Design and vision: Naomi not only executed a vision for our wedding florals and design, she shaped it from the very beginning. The proposal powerpoint was a detailed mood board of not only the florals, but the overall vibe and design for the wedding. For the bride or groom, like me, who was overwhelmed with how to make a wedding feel cohesive, personal, and intentionally designed, trust in Naomi to help jump start that process and hire her as one of your early vendors. Flawless logistics and professionalism: Working with N&V was completely stress free because Naomi and her team are true professionals. She was respectful of our budget, had a clear, well-structured contract, and payment through her professional portal was incredibly easy. Everything was delivered, set-up, and cleaned up flawlessly and on-time. Importantly, if there were any issues day-of, we didn’t hear about it or take on any of that stress (though with her careful planning, I bet there weren’t any fires to put out!) While these sound like boring logistics, all of this professional preparation on N&V’s part saved us a ton of time and stress wedding planning. Positivity and good energy: Naomi herself is the warmest and most effusively positive person - that was clear from our very first consultation call with her and was even more true on the day of our wedding. We felt showered in positivity throughout our experience working with her, which is exactly what you want on your big day! We are so grateful to have had the opportunity to work with Nectar and Vessel, and specifically, Naomi and her wonderful team. Hire her early, trust her to work her magic and give her all the creative control, and then watch your wedding venue transform.

Awarded Best of Zola
We hired Embark Films for our wedding at the Harding Allen Estate in June 2023, and from start to finish, Embark films were an absolute joy to work with! Our videographer, Chris, scheduled a pre-wedding meeting to understand our vision, walk us through his process, and share helpful insights based on his experience with our venue. On the big day, he was such a calming presence, making sure we felt comfortable and allowing us to truly enjoy each moment. The final film exceeded all our expectations—we had no edits or feedback because it was simply perfect! We can’t get over how beautifully it captured our day. At first, we were on the fence about getting a videographer, but I am SO thankful we did!! Hiring Embark Films was the best decision, and we now have the most special video to cherish forever!

Awarded Best of Zola
Bryan was amazing from start to finish. It was great to 'warm up' and get to know each other during the engagement photos which made us all the more comfortable on our wedding day. To say we are obsessed with the photos is an understatement. Our guests are also in awe as we continue to share them. Bryan's style captured our vision perfectly. From the NYC streets outside our apartment to Central Park and through the subway to our venue. We couldn't be more pleased and highly recommend Bryan!
