Story & Light is a wedding photo and video studio dedicated to capturing genuine moments with heart and artistry. We believe every love story deserves to be told with emotion, beauty, and intention. Through a blend of candid storytelling and timeless visuals, we create films and photos that feel as real and unforgettable as your day.

The ceremony felt like stepping into a dream. The bride’s veil floated behind her like clouds, and the groom was grinning like a child seeing something amazing for the first time. Every word they spoke seemed to hold the weight of a thousand promises. I couldn’t stop smiling or wiping away tears. Their love was so pure it made the air feel warmer somehow. Even the smallest details, like the handwritten notes at each place setting, were filled with care. When the first dance began, I felt like the room had melted away, leaving just the two of them in a perfect bubble of happiness. Their families’ laughter and tears made me believe in bonds that last a lifetime. I left the wedding inspired, happy, and completely moved. It was impossible to imagine a day more beautiful or full of love.

DJ Shyne is the difference between a good wedding and a once-in-a-lifetime, next-level, unforgettable experience. Hiring him was the single best decision we made for our wedding. He is outstanding—a true artist in his craft. It’s so clear that he’s not only dedicated to his profession but also deeply loves what he does. We gave DJ Shyne what we thought was an impossible challenge: blend pop hits, Spanish tunes, emo throwbacks, Disney jams, booty-shaking hip hop, and a long list of theme songs from our favorite TV shows and movies (everything from The White Lotus to Saw). On top of that, we added a handful of random, deeply personal songs you’d never expect at a wedding. What happened? Not only did he execute this perfectly, but he became the catalyst for a wedding that felt curated exactly to US—spinning a history of us both as individuals and our journey together woven into a seamless soundtrack. His mixing was unique, unexpected, and so much fun. As the bride, there was no place I wanted to be except on that dance floor. Our guests went wild. Compliments poured in all night and days after. We got so many texts like, “BROOO your DJ?! ” that we started to lose count. But it wasn’t just about the music. From the very first Zoom, DJ Shyne radiated charisma and professionalism. He carried that positive energy into every planning meeting and right through the reception—he even gave our speakers personal pep talks before their toasts! And when it came to group dances, he did something I’ve never seen: he stepped onto the dance floor, mic in hand, and taught the moves live. Towards the end of the Cha Cha Slide, he started teaching the crowd the moves to the Cupid Shuffle so by the time it started they were already doing it!!! No confusion, no awkward guessing, just pure joy and inclusion. He quickly became the vendor we looked forward to meeting with most. We ended each Zoom call feeling assured, uplifted, and excited about the possibilities. Out of everyone we worked with, he was the best. It does not get better than DJ Shyne. He isn’t just the DJ your wedding needs, he’s the DJ your wedding deserves.

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!

  • Starts at $3,000

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
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.

Salem, MA
  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style

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.

Prose Florals was sooo lucky to have worked weddings with Caroline. Not only is she the sweetest, her work is just incredible. She captured our florals for a wedding at the Rockfor Art Museum in September of 2022 and we still can't stop looking at them. From her photos we have gotten SOOO many compliments on the floral work we did for the wedding. Her talent is unmatched.

Our experience with Witchy Woman Weddings was more amazing than we ever could have imagined! Tara crafted a beautiful, deeply personalized ceremony script that truly reflected who we are as a couple. She took everything we shared in her thoughtful questionnaire and wove it into a ceremony that was peaceful, meaningful, and absolutely perfect. Despite the intense heat of our outdoor Litha (Summer Solstice) wedding, Tara showed up to our home with grace and calm, pushing through the day with unwavering dedication. Her energy was grounding and warm, making us and our guests feel at ease. All of our guests complimented us on the ceremony - how it was so beautiful, and they had never seen anything like it! If you're looking for a Pagan or "offbeat" wedding experience, Tara is the one! She is incredibly easy to talk to, listens deeply, and genuinely cares about bringing your vision to life.

Salem, MA
  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style

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.

If you are looking for a engagement/wedding photographer, look no further because Nicole is itttt! She will be there for you through thick and thin. We had to reschedule our engagement session a few times due to the pandemic but Nicole was super accommodating and understanding through it all. She even helped us with our location research and we ended up with some of the most breathtaking golden hour pictures I have ever witnessed like my goshhh. We were also so so grateful to have her during our wedding - an intimate backyard wedding in western MA. She drove all the way from Boston and captured a piece of 2020 for us that we hold so dearly: our eternal love that we shared with all the people we care about. So not only is she going to capture your story, she will be a great friend who will give you all the support you can ask for! And I am so ecstatic to work with her again in the near future!

We had a room block here for our wedding in Beverly, and hosted a brunch the day after (you have to have a catered event at the hotel in order to have a room block). Overall, our experience was pretty good. The hotel has been recently renovated and the rooms were beautiful. The King Suite was great to get ready in - I had 11 people getting hair and makeup done, with 4 artists, and there was enough space. Having the Regatta Pub on site was perfect for a welcome event and post-wedding spot and could easily accommodate a large influx of people. The brunch was ready to go with plenty of tasty food and drink. They also were able to hand out welcome bags when guests checked in. Kristen, who organized the room block, was extremely communicative and responsive to our emails, and helped us add rooms to our block a couple times. We are rating 4/5 stars for a couple reasons. First is that housekeeping never came to the suite to clean after we had left for the wedding, so we returned at the end of the night to all of the room-service coffee/breakfast items that had arrived at 8:30 that morning. When we called the front desk, no one answered. Secondly, while the brunch was great, they do charge a large room fee and administrative fee.

An Unforgettable Experience at The Hawthorne Hotel We had the most wonderful experience hosting our rehearsal dinner, welcome reception, and farewell brunch at The Hawthorne Hotel, and we couldn’t be more thrilled with our choice! From start to finish, every aspect of the service, food, and ambiance was absolutely perfect. The hotel’s vintage charm was exactly what we envisioned for our wedding weekend, and it provided the perfect setting for all of our events. The food was a highlight of our weekend. At the rehearsal dinner, we had the Chicken Milanese entrée, which was a huge hit with our guests. So many people mentioned how much they loved it, and the entire meal was delicious and beautifully presented. The service throughout all of our events was impeccable, and the wait staff was friendly and attentive, making everyone feel welcome and cared for. One of the things we loved most about the Hawthorne Hotel was how perfectly it fit our aesthetic for the wedding weekend. The vintage character of the hotel gave everything a timeless, elegant feel, and it was the ideal backdrop for our celebrations, even though our wedding and reception were off-site. We absolutely adored the hotel’s library space, which hosted our farewell brunch. The cozy, intimate atmosphere made it the perfect spot for a relaxed and meaningful gathering with our closest family and friends. The space was beautifully decorated, and it truly set the tone for a lovely, laid-back morning after the big day. Our hotel suite was equally impressive. It was spacious, comfortable, and the perfect place to unwind after a busy weekend. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and we both enjoyed a restful night’s sleep. It was a great retreat for us during such a busy time and offered everything we needed for a relaxing and enjoyable stay. A huge thank you to our amazing events coordinator, Beth Pasquarello. Beth was an absolute gem throughout the entire process. She was incredibly responsive, helpful, honest, and caring. We never felt out of the loop, and she was always there to offer advice and solutions. One great example of her attention to detail was when she helped us secure a microphone for the rehearsal dinner, ensuring everything went smoothly. Her professionalism and personal touch made the entire experience so much easier and stress-free. If you’re looking for a beautiful, historic venue with fantastic service, delicious food, and a truly memorable atmosphere, we highly recommend The Hawthorne Hotel. Thank you again for making our weekend so special!

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 5+ years/100+ 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!

We could not have asked for a more perfect venue for our wedding!! From the very beginning, the communication with the team was responsive and clear, which alleviated any stress and just let us focus on the fun stuff! The venue itself is absolutely gorgeous, with stunning details like the beautiful wood, stone, and stained glass accents that makes it feel like a little castle in the woods. Our guests have not stopped raving about the incredible food, even 3 months later! I would say the top 3 reasons we chose the venue (and reasons we loved it during and after as well) were the amazing food (we are big foodies!!), the intimate fairytale castle in the woods feeling (like a highly elevated romantic backyard fairytale wedding!), and the benefit of less decisions (so much decision fatigue in wedding planning, and Willowdale has so many in house options, including catering, that we really felt we could handle it ourselves even while both working full time out of state). Julia, our venue coordinator, was stellar - she helped us with all the decor drop-off and eased any wedding worries we had along the way. The entire team kept everything running so smoothly and on schedule, without a single hitch. We loved every moment--10/10 no notes!!!!

While dating my now wife, I used to drive past Olio every time I came to Peabody and knew from the start that it would be the home of our future wedding. The time came and we immediately scheduled our tour and fell in love. We knew we needed a special venue since our flower girl is in a wheelchair and Olio shocked us by being not only fully accessible but also so willing to accommodate our needs. Sarah helped us envision the reception and ceremony of our dreams during the walk through and we got straight to work! Olio provided a comprehensive vendor list but also allowed us the ability to bring in a few personal vendors as well making the process simple and also very customizable. Through Sarah we learned about her day of coordination service, Without a Hitch, and they truly lived up to their name! Ashley was an absolute icon and kept us on track through out the planning process and then made the day of entirely effortless for my wife and I. Our families can not speak more highly of the natural beauty of the space and also the amazing team. We can’t recommend Olio highly enough and can’t wait to spread the word about this amazingly LGBTQ and disability friendly venue.

Their set up was impeccably organized, and they built enough time into the schedule where we never felt rushed. I had a very large bridal party, and everyone wanted something different. I was pleasantly surprised at how easily Sophia was able to see everyone’s vision. Absolutely recommend!

Entertainment By Scott Sica was the perfect choice for our ceremony and reception. From the first phone call I knew Scott was the right choice for our wedding. He was very slpersonavke and I could tell he truly loved his job as DJ. I was anxious about finding a DJ but Scott made the planning process actually fun. I was having trouble finding songs for first dance, entrance, processional, cake cutting etc. Scott helped us by sending us playlists. Scott timed everything with our music perfectly and it was magical. Scott had everyone on the dance floor and he truly knew how to read the crowd to keep everyone dancing. I would highly recommend Entertainment By Scott Sica to any couple looking for a DJ that will keep their guests energized and engaged throughout the entire reception.

I was blown away by how gorgeous the arrangements looked. Erin was fantastic to work with. She walked me through the whole process, asking all sorts of questions to help get an idea of what I wanted. The flowers blew me away and I still can't get over how beautiful they looked.

Alycia Conary Makeup Artistry 

5.0

  • Beauty professional
  • Team of 1
  • Starts at $125
  • Serves Salem, MA

Hi there! Im Alycia, full time artist part time comedian ( jk) 😉 I believe makeup should enhance your natural beauty while letting your personality shine through. With years of experience in bridal and event makeup, I specialize in creating timeless, flawless looks that last from “I do” to the last dance. Every bride deserves to feel radiant and confident, whether that means a soft, romantic glow, a bold statement look, or something in between. From your trial to the final touch-up, my goal is to make the process seamless, calming, and fun — so you feel beautiful, comfortable, and unforgettable on your special day.

Alycia is an amazing artist; she is professional, friendly; and she really listens when you tell her what look you want. When I was deciding on my wedding makeup, I was struggling to articulate exactly what I wanted. But Alycia took the time to help make my vision for it become a reality, trying a few iterations until it was perfect. I couldn’t have been more happy with how it came out- natural and looking like me! My bridesmaids felt the same with the makeup that she did for them as well. In fact, a few of them then booked her for their own weddings!

Vinwood Caterers 

5.0

  • Caterer
  • Serves Salem, MA

Vinwood Caterers is proud to be consistently recognized as the North Shore’s favored catering company. And for good reason. Vinwood’s Signature Style and polished service have been behind all of our sensational events, from simple to lavish, for over 40 years. Our philosophy is simple. Offer fresh, seasonal food at its finest and serve it with style and unparalleled attention. Vinwood custom designs every event and our menus are tailored to your tastes and vision. Our flawless execution, gorgeous presentation and unequaled value will ensure that your day will be spectacular.

TL;DR - when they say full-service, they mean full-service! Easily the best food and drink we (and most of our guests) have ever had at a wedding. The staff and especially our coordinator, Erica, were highly communicative, accommodating, enthusiastic, and went above and beyond to make our wedding as great as it could have been! Well worth the price! It's worth noting that they were partnered with our venue, Olio Event Space in Peabody, MA, but I have little doubt that they'd do an excellent job just about anywhere else they're willing to go. We had first heard of Vinwood through our venue because they had specific requirements and a list of partnered vendors we more or less had to choose from without a ton of hassle. While this could have easily become a nightmare, nearly all doubt was washed away as soon as we attended a tasting they hosted. We got to experience firsthand how great their food and staff were before getting into the thick of things, and we were able to get a head start on picking entrees, hors d'oeuvres, linens, and chinaware while we were at the tasting. When we had to lock things in, Vinwood was willing and able to accommodate our handful of allergic/picky eaters and create a dessert spread (cookie, brownie, and ice cream sundae bar) for us because we didn't want a wedding cake. From there until the big day, they remained very communicative about what they needed from us and what we could expect from them throughout the process, even going so far as to help us map out the order of operations in the wedding! Finally, on the big day, Erica and her staff took care of us throughout and were all very kind and personable. They went above and beyond in helping us decorate and brighten up the space to make it perfect for us, and we were once again blown away by the service, food, and drinks. We had lots of comments during and after the wedding about how great the food and drinks were, too. They took care of everything in the table and chair setups/moves/breakdown with what Vinwood, the venue, and we provided, all in a timely manner. I'll never forget one of the staff stopping to let me know the bar was closing, and despite getting lost in conversation again and again, she personally brought over a drink for me with a wink and a smile when she saw me failing to get away. If you couldn't tell by now, I can't sing them enough praise - thank you, Vinwood!!
