  • Serves Essex, MA

From the first moment my grandfather placed a Sony Cybershot in my hands at age 13, I knew the magic of capturing life's most profound and intimate moments was meant for me. Now, after nearly 24 years behind the lens, what began as a childhood hobby has become everything to me. My commitment to you as your photographer is to apply my skill, creative mind, and decades of experience to your occasion so you have fantastic, tangible memories to look back on years from now. I have made it my goal to become proficient across a wide range of photographic/editing styles, in order to better serve the needs and preferences of each individual client.

Johnny and Alegre from So Behold This Inc. were the perfect wedding photographers for our special day! From the very first interaction, Johnny’s communication was professional, prompt, and caring, putting my husband and I at ease throughout the entire process. The quality of his work is authentic ( which is hard to find nowadays)! He sent us 23 photos the night of the wedding, completely edited ( what other photographer do you know that does that?!). Both of them were pleasurable, enthusiastic, and truly an asset to our special day. They were easy to work with and so attentive, contributing to our wedding day being seamless and more perfect than we could have imagined. I couldn't have asked for a better duo to capture the love and joy of our celebration. So Behold This Inc. is absolutely AMAZING and I highly recommend them to any couple planning their wedding!

Wedding Photography by George 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $1,700
  • Serves Essex, MA

My name is George. I’m a wedding, event, and portrait photographer based in Connecticut. I began my photography journey at the age of 17. In 2009, I attended the Fashion Institute of Technology in Manhattan, NY, where I completed the Fashion Photography program. As an artist, my goal is to create natural images that are full of life and express beauty. I approach each client’s needs with care and creativity—capturing emotions, unique details, and the essence of your story. Professional photographer since 2009 and have photographed over 200 weddings.

Awarded Best of Zola
We booked George to capture our wedding day at an outdoor venue in northern MA. As a photographer myself I have high standards when it comes to photos, so I was very selective when making my choice. But I'm happy to report that we made a great choice with George as his work is top notch. Before the wedding we had 2 phone calls to plan out the many scenes we'd want him to capture. We also shared some light guidance on editing style, which he happily incorporated. On the day of the wedding George arrived promptly (early even, which was good) despite the fact he was driving many hours from CT. George did a great job making people feel comfortable in front of the camera. He seemed very experienced as throughout the day he seamlessly transitioned from the foreground to the background as needed. He was never in the way, but always nearby and ready to jump in and capture whatever was happening. He also captured a variety of types of shots, from the wide, establishing shots to the perfectly composed closeups of intimate moments - with lots of extra detail shots and plenty of candids too. For the ceremony in particular, he displayed his great eye and quick reaction time to document every moment and every angle, including crowd reactions. He came well prepared too with 2 Sony mirrorless cameras and a large off-camera flash to ensure even lighting. From our 8-hour shoot he provided over 1,400 fully edited photos (each 61MP) via a Google Drive download link. We were extremely please with the quality and speed of our portfolio (fully delivered within 2 weeks). On top of that, George happily provided me with the full edited portfolio in TIFF file format, per my request. The file sizes are much larger so I gave him a 512GB USB drive which he loaded and shipped back to me. I really can't say enough good things about George. So just book him now and I know you'll be pleased with the results!

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.

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.

Erin Wholley Photography

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $7,000
  • Serves Essex, MA

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!

Choosing Erin for our wedding was probably the best decision we made in the 2 1/2 years we spent engaged. The difference with Erin is that she’s not just another wedding vendor; she became part of our friend group and family. We loved her so much for our engagement photos that we flew her down to North Carolina for the weekend because we couldn’t imagine anyone else capturing our day. Erin goes above and beyond in every way and that’s simply because she cares. She was originally planning to join our rehearsal dinner and welcome drinks to capture an hour or two, but she stayed the whole night. I’ve been in arguably too many weddings, and what sets Erin apart is that she doesn’t just take the classic posed shots and move on to the next. She focuses on the tiny little moments in-between each shot. One of the best pieces of advice she gave me was to stick by my husband, Tom, as much as possible. Because of that, the candid, emotional moments she captured are truly priceless and are my favorite photos! Perhaps too personal, but we both had major loses in our families right around the same time, and both before our own weddings. When it came time for our vows, having someone behind the camera (and even in front of it consoling us when we couldn’t stop crying - see photos attached) made a hard moment even more special. Erin isn’t just a photographer; she’s a friend, hype girl, and someone who will care about your wedding as much as you do. I recommend her to everyone I know.

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!

I’m a Virginia transplant who makes her home north of Boston shooting micro-weddings and elopements. 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
If you are looking for a photographer who really cares about the people she works with, takes great pictures and awesome to work with then Lorna is your person! When searching for a proposal photographer I was looking for someone that would be easy to communicate with and Lorna was just that and more! We scheduled a meet over Zoom, so she could get to know me and see if there was any questions I had for the day of the proposal. I enjoyed this as it helped me get to know more about the person who would be working with me on such an important moment. The day of the proposal she kept in contact with me up until we arrived at the location which I appreciated. Lorna even helped calm my nerves assuring me the location was correct as she arrived early to prepare (I never been and was afraid we might be at the wrong building) We absolutely loved the images when we received them! I appreciated she kept me updated on when we would be receiving the images and the pictures were awesome. We loved how she was able to capture our special moment and were so happy to see how great the pictures turned out. I would definitely recommend Lorna for anyone who is looking for a photographer. She was very nice, great communicator, and you can tell she truly cares and was happy for us. Thank you so much Lorna for helping us with our special moment.

Best of the best right here! I had the pleasure of meeting Meghan when she was the photographer for my cousin’s wedding in May 2023. I knew following that experience she would, without a doubt, be the photographer for my wedding (as long as I booked her before someone else snatched her up!). Besides being in awe seeing how perfect all of the pictures came out, what stood out to me in particular was her ability to keep the day moving so seamlessly, capturing all of the details/emotions/moments while keeping everyone and everything organized. Also while making it fun! This was consistent with my wedding day as well, showing how much of a professional she is…she is so great at what she does. Her skills make the difference, she has a way of making you feel comfortable and stress free…. we had SO much fun working with her at both our engagement shoot and on our wedding day.

We used Gary from Photography Your Way for our wedding at the Smith Barn in Peabody in July 2025. He was fantastic! Gary was easy to communicate with and responded quickly to emails. He was very reasonably priced and an engagement photo session was added to our package. Gary was very familiar with the wedding property so he knew where we would get the best pictures. He was efficient in working through all the family pictures and worked very well with his assistant to cover all angles. At the end of the night, Gary even grabbed us for some pictures with all the lights turned on outside at the barn. He did an amazing job checking to see if we got all the pictures we wanted that night. Gary had a very quick turn around with a preview of our pictures in a few days then had all the pictures sent to us in a very user friendly online link within a month. All of the pictures were stunning and we could not be happier with our choice to use Photography Your Way for our wedding!

Unlike many husband and wife photography teams, we were not high school sweethearts. We also didn’t know each other in college, or even live in the same country when we fell in love with photography. Instead, we started as friendly competitors. It took about four years until that competition turned into something more than discussing tricks of the trade. Eventually, we won each other over and joined forces.

We cannot recommend Gaby and Dave enough as wedding photographers! They made us feel so comfortable and at ease. Their professionalism, kindness, and attention to detail were exceptional. They truly went above and beyond to capture every moment, ensuring that no special memory was missed. The photos turned out absolutely stunning, and each one tells the perfect story of our wedding day. We felt completely taken care of, and we couldn’t be happier with how they helped make our day unforgettable. They even made sure to get a couple outside pictures by the water on one of the windiest days. If you’re looking for photographers who are not only talented but also genuinely care about making your experience amazing, Gaby and Dave are the ones to choose!

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 one of the greatest people. She was kind, observant, and extremely professional. Not to mention her work completely speaks for itself. Our previews are absolutely beautiful- she really made our photos a keepsake and I am so happy we were able to work with her.

Sarah really listened to what we wanted and pivoted on the fly as needed. She shot through terrestrial rain with a smile. She was the super hero of the day because when the weather changed for the worse, she brought 15 clear umbrellas for the bridal party to use. The quality of her pics are outrageous. We didn’t want super formal pictures, and she nailed it- you can feel the love through them, which is all we wanted and more! Her pictures allow me to relive the day and the emotions of it over and over, and she delivered the sneak peaks very quickly! Beyond all this, Sarah is an absolute joy to work with and one of the kindest people. We had a vendor mishap a couple days before the wedding and reached out to her for suggestions late at night, and she immediately responded willing to help, and had a vendor friend of hers on board to help us before I woke up the next morning. She is the kind of person you want on your team for your wedding or any event! We’re looking forward to more photos with her in the future. Thank you so much, Sarah!

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 first met Danielle when she was the photographer at my cousin's wedding. It was such a small event it was impossible to not interact with Danielle and just admire her work. We immediately knew that we wanted to work with her. Fast forward to our own wedding planning, Danielle was so incredible in helping us prepare for the day. During our (very much impromptu) engagement photos, Danielle made it easy for us to just be ourselves...something that is not always easy to do when I prefer being behind the camera. Leading up to the big day, she encouraged us to make decisions that would keep us smiling throughout the day, gave us wonderful advice (which I still think about in my daily life), and really just made the entire experience easy. On the wedding day itself, Danielle became nothing short of a superhero. Somehow, she became the ring leader supreme, keeping us all on track with the agenda and maintaining the most friendly and professional composure. I've never seen anyone more effortlessly corral my large family faster while still laughing and having fun. And the pictures, they're perfect! My husband and I spent our 3-month anniversary looking through the full album, spending hours just reliving the day that memory made into a blur. Even our officiant (who is also a friend) stated that they made her cry all over again and how she could hear the laughter through the pictures. I cannot wait until the next time we have the opportunity to see and work with Danielle again.

Hi there! I'm Alisha, a photographer in Boston, MA specializing in weddings, newborns and families. Crazy mix, don't you think? Maybe a little bit, but I love every minute of it! I believe that there is no picture more beautiful than that of someone in love, so I use my skills to capture specifically that – the emotion, the moment, the glow. I strive to create beautiful timeless photos for you to cherish and share for future generations.

Alisha was extremely personable and professional. She was understanding when things came up and kept me calm when schedule started shifting significantly. She even helped me get in to my dress which is beyond her duties! Would highly recommend this sweet photographer to anyone. She was so kind to all of my bridal party and guests. She was the perfect balance between going with the flow but putting the hammer down on us to stay on task. We all loved her! Her love for Maine gave us confidence that she would capture everything we love about Maine, not just our wedding photos of the people!

Whether you’re planning an intimate celebration or the biggest party in history – I’m passionate about capturing your memories through intentional imagery and artful storytelling that you’ll cherish forever. Inspired by real people, real emotion, and the nostalgia of stepping back in time to experience it all over again. Serving New England and anywhere else my camera will take me on digital and film!

I’ve had the privilege of working with Gabby 3 times for a couples shoot, proposal photos and engagement photos and I can’t speak highly enough of her! She was so helpful in the planning and coordination of all the logistics before and during each shoot. She listened to all of my ideas and made my visions come to life! When I ran out of ideas, she was quick to make such creative suggestions that I never would have thought of. She even laid down in a shrub for who knows how long to capture the moment my husband proposed to me! All of her pictures are stunningly beautiful, timeless, and aesthetically pleasing. Gabby is the sweetest, most genuine person and she will make you feel comfortable the moment you meet her. Can’t recommend her enough!
