Russell, MA
  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,400

Couples deserve someone as excited about their day as they are, working alongside them to capture the essence of every detail so tirelessly prepared, and every joy filled aspect of their wedding. As a part of your wedding, we will make it a priority to review your timeline ahead of time, and make day of questions much less due to good communication and organization beforehand.

Such down to earth people who are able to catch the little things that mean a lot. I am so glad that we trusted them to photograph our wedding because they made sure that what we got back was more than we could have ever expected. They made all of our family feel comfortable while taking the photos and we weren’t worried that they had missed any. The way they give you your photos organized on the flash drive helped a lot too, by keeping things in categories for us so we were able to make an album without any trouble. We highly recommend them to everyone we know, and have even had family interested in hiring them after spending time with them at our wedding

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.

From the moment we first spoke with Johnny and Alegre from So Behold This Inc., we knew they would be the perfect photographers for our wedding. Their communication style was great, friendly, and positive, putting us at ease throughout the entire process. The quality of their work is simply phenomenal - the photos have a gorgeous, gothic, moody, and dreamy aesthetic that we absolutely adore. Johnny captured all the perfect moments, from getting my makeup done to being dipped down the aisle. He was incredibly supportive, positive, and fun to be around. Johnny and Alegre went above and beyond for us on our wedding day, even taking a trip to the cemetery to get some breathtaking shots, and helping me bustle my dress. We felt like movie stars! Our pictures are absolutely stunning, and we've received so many compliments. We couldn't be happier with the work of So Behold This Inc. and highly recommend them to any couple looking for phenomenal, artistic wedding photography.

Founded in 1814, The West Boylston Company was a large textile manufacturer in West Boylston, MA. At the turn of the century the company faced a crisis: the site of their mill would be flooded to form the Wachusett Reservoir. Instead of abandoning the mill, the company dismantled it brick by brick and shipped it to its new home in Easthampton, where it was rebuilt on the banks of the Lower Mill Pond. Now, a century later, The Boylston Rooms retains the integrity of the 1814 original mill in every brick and beam. Our rental includes planners and decor at no added cost. Whatever your style, with over 140 pieces of decor, if you can picture it in the space, we can make it happen.

My husband and I recently had the pleasure and privilege of getting married at The Boylston Rooms with help of Myles and Erin.

DJ Pat was a pleasure to work with for our August 2025 wedding! He was extremely prepared throughout the entire day and made sure to provide extra microphones, as well as extras to the extras, in the event they were needed. We shared with Pat that my mother has a tremor and he provided us with mic stands for the speeches so that she would feel completely comfortable the entire time. He transitioned our ceremony music seamlessly and thoughtfully, and never failed to communicate with us throughout the day as the timeline changed. Inevitably, our timeline fell slightly behind, and Pat was flexible with his set to keep people dancing for the entirety of the shortened reception. He made sure all of our 'must-play' songs were played and ensured our 'do not play songs' were not. We loved his lighting setup and could not have asked for a better experience. He communicated with kindness to all of our other vendors, and we are so happy that we chose Rob Alberti Event Services for our wedding!

Hi, I'm Danny! My passion is to capture couples & their love story in a timeless way. I like to describe my style as a fusion between story-telling & editorial. I lean into true-to-life colors with a warm ambience and posing that's timeless but also interwoven with an editorial flare that's unique, artistic, and stylish. I also love incorporating story-telling stills that involve movement rather than a bunch of photos that feel "stiff" or overly posed. Story-telling moments bring wedding galleries life! I’d love the opportunity to connect with you, and hear more about your wedding vision!!

Photography is my passion. As a third generation photographer, it's in my blood! My grandfather opened a photography studio in Chicopee during the 1940's. Growing up, I spent hours looking at family photos, studying the faces of friends and loved ones. I read the hand written notes on the back of the pictures and I was taken back to the exact moment the photograph was taken. Even if the picture was snapped long before my birth, I could feel the emotion from that time. Photographs were and continue to be an absolute treasure in my household.

We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer than Danielle. She had great communication leading up to the day and created a detailed itinerary. She was enthusiastic and so helpful from the moment she arrived through the 8 hours she stayed with us. She captured everything and more with such beauty. She gave us space as a couple while still photographing every portrait and moment we wanted and also got beautiful candids we will always cherish. We definitely recommend and will book her again for all future events.

Hiring Matthew to capture my daughter's wedding was one of the single best decisions made for that day. He is thoughtful throughout the process, taking time to meet with my daughter and her fiancé and have them really think about what was important to them to capture during their special day, putting together a timeline to make the most of our time with Matthew, and then just seamlessly blending in with the day and capturing some of the most stunning photos. We were blown away! We had seen enough of his work to know we'd be pleased, but he exceeded all of our expectations. His level of professionalism is extraordinary.

  • Serves Russell, MA

Ranking among New England’s highest-rated wedding officiants with more than 300 five-star reviews, Grace Ceremonies has helped hundreds of couples marry over the past 12 years. As an ordained Interfaith minister, Rev. Hannah Grace crafts spiritual as well as secular ceremonies at venues from mountaintops to meeting houses, backyards to ballrooms. Hannah's process is supportive and stress-free, helping couples plan their ceremony as well as deepen the connection that brings them to marriage.

When my now husband and I got engaged, we knew immediately we wanted to work with Hannah. I am a wedding planner, and having worked with Hannah on other couple's weddings I saw what a tremendous energy, calm, and spirit she brought to their day. We wanted our ceremony to be the focus in planning our wedding and to work with someone who could guide and support us towards that end. Working with Hannah was amazing. My husband and I always felt calm, supported, and understood. She took the time to get to know us as people and our learn about our dreams for our wedding and marriage. She wove all the themes of our story and what we wanted to convey to our guests into a cohesive and beautiful ceremony. She gave us guidance on writing our own vows and on how to incorporate different traditions and rituals. On the day I truly felt like she held us through every step of the process. She was a calming and grounding force. Hannah is also an incredible speaker - funny, emotional, present. I cannot recommend Hannah enough, and I encourage all my couples to hire her. Investing in your ceremony is one of the most worthwhile investments you can make in your wedding day, and will provide memories you will treasure for life!

Awarded Best of Zola
Our wedding at The Delaney House was absolutely perfect from start to finish. Working with Nicole and her incredible team made the entire planning process not only easy, but genuinely enjoyable. They guided us through every step with care, professionalism, and the kind of attention to detail that truly sets them apart. The food was absolutely delicious—our guests are still raving about it. Josiah and Erica were phenomenal throughout the evening, and Brianne ran the ceremony beautifully. On the day of the wedding, everything was flawless. The staff anticipated our needs before we even voiced them, and every moment flowed seamlessly. The atmosphere, the service, the coordination—everything exceeded our expectations. We felt completely supported and stress-free, allowing us to fully enjoy our day. We truly couldn’t have asked for anything more.
