  • Photographer

I am SO excited that you stumbled upon my work! I shoot weddings all across New England! Capturing raw, true emotions as they happen is what I’m all about. I want to capture it all on your big day. From the moments of you putting your dress to the tears running down your face as you read your vows to each other. To the first kiss and “OMG you’re my spouse now!!” feels. To the unexpected Taco Bell run you make after the ceremony or your grandparents getting down on the dance floor. Being able to grab the moments for you to hold to forever, is such a rewarding humbling job for me.

Awarded Best of Zola
Gloria is AMAZING!!!!! She was one of the first vendors we booked for our 2024 wedding, and from the first phone call, it was clear that we made the right decision. She understood our vision immediately as we described what we were hoping for from our wedding photos. The day of the wedding, she was a fly on the wall for so many candids, knew when to give direction, and when to hang back. Her work speaks for itself, but the fact that she is also kind, creative, and so easy to work with was really the icing on the cake. We will treasure these photos for the rest of our lives. If you’re looking for a sign to book Gloria Bloise Photography for your big day, consider this it.

We had our dream wedding at Grill 28 in September, and we couldn't be happier with our experience! From start to finish, the staff was incredibly attentive, making the entire planning process smooth and enjoyable. One of the best things about this venue is that it provides all the necessities, including tables and chairs. We brought in some of our own chairs for the reception while using theirs for the ceremony. They also offer a wide selection of linens and even the option to add an extra tent to accommodate more guests. What makes this venue truly special is the flexibility to curate your wedding exactly as you envision it. Nestled on the beautiful Pease Golf Course, it’s a hidden gem—a true diamond in the rough! Unlike many wedding venues, we never felt like there was any price gouging. Everything was very reasonable and transparent. The accessibility of this venue is also a huge plus. It’s wheelchair-friendly, and the main tent is set on a concrete pad, so you don’t have to worry about wet or muddy grass—a huge relief if the weather is unpredictable! We had designated rooms to get ready in, and the food was absolutely out of this world! There are multiple spaces to utilize, including the garden patio—perfect for our cocktail hour—and the main tent for our reception. Another bonus is that the venue is owned by the same company as Popovers, so we were able to order our cake directly and even do a tasting! The menus are fully customizable, which made everything feel even more personal. Another big plus is the ample parking, making it easy for all of our guests. We truly have nothing but amazing things to say about Grill 28. If you're looking for a wedding venue that offers both beauty and exceptional service, this is the place!

Vibe Wedding Films

Portsmouth, NH
  • Videographer
  • Documentary style
  • Starts at $2,797

Hey! I’m Nico Zottos, a wedding videographer based out of Portsmouth, New Hampshire. A little about me - I’ve been in the wedding industry for over ten years. I started out playing bass guitar in a wedding band while I was still in high school and I quickly fell in love with everything about weddings. The energy of the day was intoxicating and I knew after witnessing so many different love stories that I wanted to take a more meaningful role in preserving those memories - that’s when I transitioned into filmmaking. Since then I’ve been lucky enough to tell the unique and amazing stories of couples from all across the country.

When I was planning my wedding, I was very overwhelmed by the amount of vendors we had to book but working with Vibe Media was truly our best vendor at our wedding. I would highly recommend them to everyone! The quality of the video was absolutely incredible! It was so beautiful, detailed, and put together masterfully! You could tell that the wedding video shots planned, obtained, and edited were done by true professionals that worked very hard to make our wedding day so special. Vibe Media also got our wedding videos to so quickly! It was so amazing to be able to share with family & friends immediately! 10 out 10 I would recommend them and plan to use them in the future again at other events!

But what truly made the night unforgettable was Michelle, the Function Manager. Michelle was an absolute rockstar! She helped us navigate everything with ease, from handling dietary restrictions to selecting the perfect menu options and ensuring all our needs were met.

The Hawthorn Portsmouth NH 
Portsmouth, NH
  • Venue
  • Up to 250 guests
  • Raw space

  • Starts at $15,000
  • Offer

Our story begins in 1858 when Frank Jones arrived in Portsmouth with a dream of brewing ale. Within three decades, The Frank Jones Brewery became the largest ale producer in the country. As ale production expanded, the brewery added a cooperage and scald house to clean the barrels. Workers used scalding hot rocks to sanitize barrels because soap and water would cause them to warp. Once cleaned, the barrels were filled with Jones’ signature ales. The Hawthorn now occupies this Scald House, retaining its original red-brick walls, towering beams, and industrial windows. “Cheers,” then, has a whole new meaning at The Hawthorn. When you raise your glass at your event, you’ll be toasting in a place that’s positively brewing with Portsmouth ale-making heritage and local history.

Last year I decided to take a leap of faith and start my next adventure in the wedding planning industry, and got my wedding planning certificate.

Kaileigh was an absolute delight to work through all phases of the wedding planning process. We enjoyed all our pre wedding meetings with her via video call and felt confident with all the decisions we made. Kaileigh communicated in a clear and positive way and knew all the right questions to ask which allowed us to feel relaxed during the wedding planning and during our big day without missing important details. She developed a day of schedule that we were able to review multiple times prior to it being shared with all our wedding vendors. Kaileigh and her team member, Paige, effectively instructed and organized our wedding party during rehearsal dinner to allow for adequate preparation while still encouraging us to have fun together. Kaileigh took the time to check in with both my husband and I day of to iron out any last minute requests and assure that we were stress free. Our wedding was a Maine beach wedding which meant many moving parts and unpredictable weather, but Kaileigh truly did an amazing job coordinating to assure that all our meaningful details and weddings dreams came to life. Thanks to Kaileigh and Paige's attention to detail our wedding day ran smoothly and our wedding was everything we ever wanted. We highly recommend Weddings by Kaileigh, LLC to any couple planning their dream wedding as this companies ability to advocate for the bride and groom while coordinating vendors is absolutely outstanding!

I'd say my photography style would be something along the lines of "lifestyle photography". [That means that posing you in silly ways that seem fake / awkward isn't really my jam.] I mean, unless that gets some snuggles & laughs. I'm ALLLL about that. I like to capture REAL life with REAL emotions and REAL smiles. Your session should be relaxed and fun. [All while I get some kick-ass photos!] I will most likely make a giant fool of myself at your session, so you'll feel like a professional. I sing, trip, laugh, make noises, mention inappropriate things, show my nerdiness. AKA YOU'RE GOING TO DO JUST FINE.

From the moment we reached out to april and Jordan/ Alba Lumos Photography, their communication was fast, witty, and amazing. Their photographers have an incredible eye for detail, capturing our special day in a beautiful, ethereal, and timeless way.

It was the best nights of our lives and we cannot thank you enough for helping us make so many cherished memories. We would 100% recommend this venue to anyone who looking to plan a wedding!

I’m Felisha, an Award Winning - Published New England Wedding + Portrait photographer with the honor of capturing love stories and cherished moments across New England since 2013. Photography isn’t just my career—it’s the way I connect with people, turning clients into dear friends and fleeting moments into timeless memories. When I’m not behind the lens, you’ll find me soaking up life with my high school sweetheart, our beautiful daughter, and our two chocolate Labradors. My heart beats for real, authentic moments—the kind where love and laughter come effortlessly.

Felisha is one of the most kind, thoughtful, and insightful photographers who you could possibly hope to work with on your big day. In our first phone call with Felisha, it was clear that she was looking for a connection with her potential clients; she wasn’t trying to sell us her portfolio, and she wasn’t trying to gauge our budget. If you’re looking for a storyteller and someone who wants to build a meaningful connection with their clients, look no further! We wanted a partner in our photographer, someone who could look beyond the standard wedding portraits and find those special, candid moments that we would be missing among all the distractions of the day – and Felisha delivered. From start to finish, we felt like Felisha had our backs and was looking out for our best interests. She listened to us and gave us whatever it was needed on our big day at that moment – whether it was relief from the stresses of the wedding day timeline or a break from the business of our reception. When it came time to review the gallery, we were blown away by the details she captured. It was incredibly special not only to see the beauty captured in the moments, but the feeling we got in our hearts as we relived our wedding weekend. It’s a feeling we hope to hold on to for as long as we can, and Felisha truly helped to make our vision a reality!

My business started when I was planning my own wedding. I love flowers, but we couldn't justify spending hundreds or thousands on real flowers to throw them away in a week when we also found out we were expecting our first child at the same time. In came wood flowers! After much practice, I discovered I have an eye for colors and floral design and now 4 years and MANY weddings and THOUSANDS of home decor pieces later, this is not only my passion but it is also my full time business. No side hustle here! You will have my undivided attention. I'll make sure your floral dreams come to life in wood and the best part, they LAST FOREVER!

My daughter-in-law chose Blue Dahlia Designs for her wedding bouquet and my son's boutinierre. They both came out beautifully and people were amazed that these were wood flowers. I highly recommend Blue Dahlia for your wedding flowers.
