  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,549

I’m a storyteller. That’s what I’m here to do - document the story of one of your greatest celebrations. My work is heavily focused on the authentic, unplanned moments. My approach is observational and real, creating images that are genuine representations of you, those you love, and the space and moments you share. I create true-to-life images that will bring you back to some of your sweetest, most treasured moments for years to come. If you’re looking for a light-hearted, boisterous creative to work with, you’ve found her. I'm people-centric which means that, I'm focusing on you, your guests, and the real moments you're sharing together.

Kaitlin is amazing to work with. As a photographer who has done weddings myself, I had high standards and specific requests that weeded out a lot of people during my search. Kaitlin immediately stood out to me as someone with the ability to capture the essence of a couple. As I browsed her galleries I felt like I knew the couples and their stories by the time I was done. My wife and I are very introverted, shy, and not used to being the center of attention — let alone in front of a camera. After consulting with Kaitlin it was even more clear that she was the perfect photographer for us. Kaitlin listened to our requests, asked us questions to get a better understanding of what sort of coverage we’d like, and checked in multiple times leading up to the wedding day to go over plans. On the day of, Kaitlin was incredible. She set her flash units up perfectly to give a beautiful sense of lighting to our indoor pictures. Kaitlin was quick and professional with our family formals without feeling like she was rushing anyone. We love our newlywed portraits, largely due to how natural it felt to work with her—again this was huge for us as two people who are a bit camera shy. Our reception photos are equally beautiful, she captured meaningful candid moments without feeling like she was standing between us and the moments happening around us. If you’re like my wife and me and aren’t used to being on camera, I would 100% recommend booking a practice session with Kaitlin either for engagement photos or couples’ photos. As a photographer I’m used to being behind the camera and not in front of it. She helped us feel comfortable and it also helped her see how we interact together as a couple. At no point did we feel like Kaitlin was commandeering our schedule to check off boxes on a shot-list. She was seamlessly integrated everything. Genuinely, I cannot recommend Kaitlin enough. Working with her is like having a best friend there take your wedding photos.

We worked with Tiny Laser for our wedding, choosing the 30-days out coordination option. Julianne helped us cross all the Ts as we approached the day. We had a general sense of how we wanted everything to go, but she asked us all the right questions, offering details we hadn't thought of. The result was a perfectly smooth wedding. If there were hiccups, we didn't know about them! Julianne and Jose went above and beyond from the rehearsal dinner on, helping to set up our linens, and figuring out how we'd get down the aisle. At the wedding, Julianne checked in on us throughout, making sure we ate, and got sweaters when it got cooler. She was considerate, polite, and calm. We so appreciate all the work Tiny Laser put in to make our day!

Hiring CC was one of the best wedding decisions we made! From the beginning, Dan was super responsive and clear about the band’s style, availability and price. After booking, Dan was great about answering questions and keeping in touch about song requests, timeline and other important wedding items. If you’re looking for a band that you would want to dance and sing along with at a fun bar or party, on top of being extremely talented musicians, these are your people. They also understand weddings and are willing to take on fun challenges. They took the time to successfully pull off many requests such as: - My requests and timing for the ceremony music which included acoustic renditions of Harvest Moon, With a Little Help from my Friends and Here, There, and Everywhere. They also take care of the sound systems and mic set up for the ceremony. - An amazing live rendition of Touch Me by The Doors for our reception entrance - Another amazing live rendition of Come Sail Away by Styx for our first dance which transitioned into open dance floor for all guests - Helping me pull off a surprise outfit change/re entrance into the party which included allowing me to join the band to sing Just A Girl by No Doubt. My guests had nothing but great things to say about CC and applauded their crowd work and musical talent. I also highly recommend paying to add on the sax player. They were AMAZING and added the perfect touch. Overall, Champagne Casanova is completely worth it for your wedding. I would hire them again in a heartbeat!!

  • Photographer

  • Serves South Portland, ME

Natural, documentary, photojournalistic. Real, raw, candid. We’re not going for any stiff prom poses here. I like to capture the day as it is and to document it as it unfolds. I never want to force anything, but I step in and direct where needed. Being in front of the camera isn’t my favorite thing either. I will be here to guide you and prompt you the whole way, I promise.

I cannot recommend Jenna enough! In addition to the amazing engagement and wedding photographs, she was so professional, organized, and lovely to work with from day one. My husband and I were so grateful for her regular check ins, thoughtful questions, and offers of guidance as we got closer to our day. My husband and I (and our families) are uncomfortable having our pictures taken - but Jenna was so skilled at subtly coaching and making everyone feel comfortable. We were blown away by both our engagement and wedding photos. Jenna’s portfolio is stunning. However, she captured our day in a way that felt unique to us. We loved too many of our wedding photos to frame and so asked her to put together an album. The album was so thoughtfully put together - a beautiful reminder of our day. Thank you, Jenna for everything!

Skylemar brought everyone together for a weekend full of love and fun. Maine in the summertime was as beautiful as can be. The large campsite had many spaces, so we used a different place for each event. Time spent in the water and games was just as memorable as the formal wedding festivities. The whole staff was sincere and helpful, and the Shepherd family went beyond to make every detail special. We have been told it felt as much like an unforgettable family vacation as it did a celebration of love. Skylemar will always have a place in our hearts. We recommend it BIG TIME!

Christophe is AMAZING! First off, he did a fantastic job with our engagement pictures last Summer- he got there early to scope out the scenery and lighting and had all of our pictures back in less than a week. He was proactive with communication up until the wedding to confirm times, locations, and photo lists for the weekend. He was prompt, organized and professional the whole time. One of our favorites is the amount of time he took to capture some small details of our big day that we would not have thought of. He really went above and beyond, and most importantly our photos are amazing and all back in less than 2 weeks! All our friends and family was super impressed with his work.

Our first kiss was on the beach, under a star-filled sky, on my favorite island, only home to shells, bioluminescent creatures, and wild horses. Soon after, as two very young humans (21 and 23), we were married. As newlyweds we set off on an adventure, kayaking from Maine to Key West. On that trip, we realized how much we valued spending all our time together and being in charge of our schedule. This business is how we live out that dream.

We could not have imagined better photographers for our wedding day! We met them to get engagement pictures and we had so much fun- we were so worried about being awkward but they made us feel comfortable! And for the wedding day, they got the best shots and were so involved in the wedding without seeming like they were in the way. We got so many compliments on them day of and especially after seeing their work! Highly highly recommend them!!

Scarborough, ME
  • Venue
  • Up to 150 guests

Maine's only greenhouse event venue exclusively designed for wedding receptions and ceremonies. 2021 marks 72 years of Highland Farm’s history in Scarborough, Maine. From the beginning, the property has been operating as a greenhouse. In fact, in the 1800’s, Highland Farm was the largest supplier of cut flowers in the Northeast. Highland Farm is a family owned and operated business, and the undeniable sense of family and welcome energy is palpable the moment you step on the grounds. The saying is true here: “you come as strangers and leave as family.” The Greenhouse and The Farm has been run by 3rd generation owners, Joe and Christine since 2008, but Joe and Christine’s involvement in the farm runs far deeper than ownership. In 2009, the couple was married in one of the working greenhouses

I highly recommend booking The Greenhouse for your wedding due to the beauty of the location and amount of services you receive within your package. We booked the venue back in 2022 for a 2024 wedding, but due to unforeseen circumstances we had to delay our wedding by a year. Jessica was so understanding and helped us reschedule for a weekend the in 2025 without any hassle. As for the venue, they provide a luxury bathroom trailer, a flower credit to utilize their baskets and planters to place around the venue. They provide circular tables and chairs at no additional cost. They allow you to access to the venue from 9am on Friday to 2pm on Sunday, giving you plenty of time for set up and clean up. There is also no need to book a dance floor, as the concrete floor is smooth and serves that purpose just fine! The bar is also fully functional and removes the need to rent a bar top as well. The staff and venue owners are just so amazing and you can tell they care about the couples they work with. Their venue is affordable and beautiful, leaving little need to spend money on a ton of decor. I will definitely be coming back to this review to post photos once they are published by the photographer, because I would love for couples to see just how amazing their wedding could be!

My husband and I got married at Walnut Hill in late May and had the most beautiful, intimate wedding. The venue itself brought so much in terms of decor—the gorgeous tree grove, charming barn, in bloom garden—we really only added small touches with florals and tablescapes / seating to bring the event together. As the bride, I also loved that we had the on-location farmhouse to get ready in, watch guests arrive, plus be able to run back to change or touch up during the event. Essie and Mike (venue owners) are incredible to work with, they truly care that you're going to have an amazing time. And Kate, the venue GM / planner, is super organized, has the best attitude, and will make the planning process SO much more fun and exciting. Overall, you just feel taken care of. The Walnut team is also very well connected and respected in the area. Vendors love working with them, which means you get access to a lot of good recommendations, and options to fit your vision. We couldn't recommend the venue or team more!

Savage Wedding Co. 

5.0

  • DJ
  • Starts at $2,400
  • Serves South Portland, ME

I’m Magnus Savage, owner of Savage Wedding Co. (formerly The Toasted Brew), a Portland, Maine based wedding DJ company built for couples who don’t want a copy-&-paste wedding. I believe your wedding should feel like you! That means it’s absolutely okay to mix EDM with metal, bring rave-level energy to the dance floor & play all the punk rock you forgot you loved. You don’t need to change what you love just to fit inside some predetermined idea of how a wedding is “supposed” to work. Want to headbang? Want to rave? You’re in the right place.

Awarded Best of Zola
When we were booking vendors, I wanted wedding professionals. I wanted people who knew the industry inside and out because we were DIY-ing our wedding and without a planner. When you book someone for your wedding, youre not just booking their service- youre booking their industry knowledge and Magnus has a LOT of knowledge and such a big heart. My example of this is within 4 hours of submitting an initial inquiry, we had an email with a scheduled time to call to chat about his services and our wedding plans to see if they matched. What really got our hearts though was before we agreed to work together, he helped me fine tune the schedule I had in my head for the wedding day. He helped us with our timeline not because he was trying to “sell” us on him, and he didnt say “if we work together I’ll help you with the timeline” which would have been perfect acceptable. He helped me because he cares about weddings and wanted to make sure regardless of who we went with for a DJ that we had a good foundation. After that call, I told Collin I wanted Magnus on our wedding team and we didnt need to even consider anyone else and let me tell you - that was one of the best decisions we made. Throughout the process he gave great ideas based on his experience not only for the party (DO THE 10-15 MINUTE DANCE PARTY!!!) but on other aspects of our wedding as well. You’re not just working with an “oh you got a *DJ* DJ!!”as my friend so excitedly said after the music started, you’re working with a professional big hearted person with years of experience who is here to help you have the best time. Our day was truly the best and Magnus was a huge part of that. Once the music started, our dance floor was packed and stayed packed to the bitter end! I will absolutely recommend him to everyone and we are still hearing about how great the music and vibes were. Pics for vibes *insert stars emoji since zola wont allow emojis*

  • Photographer
  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $4,950
  • Serves South Portland, ME

I’m Michelle, a Portland, Maine based wedding and couples photographer. I grew up in a small town in Connecticut, spent my college years and 20s in Boston, moved to New York City with my husband and now have found my way back to New England. I worked for eight years in event planning before going full-time with my photography business. I’m grateful for those eight years because they taught me so much that I’ve carried into managing my own small business. Beyond photography, I am an avid reader, love long bike rides, prefer the Monday crosswords, enjoy woodsy day hikes, and am always finding the nearest bookstore when we travel.

Michelle K. Martin Photography was an absolute pleasure to work with from start to finish. Their communication style was fast, clear, and flexible, which put us at ease throughout the entire wedding planning process. The quality of their work was exceptional - they captured the vibe of our special day in a high-level, thorough manner. On the day of the wedding, the photographers seamlessly integrated themselves, making us feel special and allowing us to focus on ourselves, knowing that all the important moments were being beautifully captured in the background. They were also extremely professional, working through the family photos in a structured yet clear and communicative way that made the photo session truly enjoyable. We couldn't be happier with the memories Michelle K. Martin Photography has provided us. We highly recommend hiring Michelle!!!

I had the wedding of my dreams at the manor this past weekend. I had been there previously for events and knew before I was even engaged that was where I wanted to get married. The family that runs it are warm, inviting and have such an attention to detail that will leave you wanting for nothing. The communication leading up to felt like you were talking to a friend, easy and effective. The rooms were pristine and absolutely gorgeous when we arrived. They went above and beyond in so many ways. And the breakfast … I wish I could wake up there every day! The entire family was involved, and they really made you feel like family as well. I would recommend this venue not only for weddings, but also I have been to bridal showers and baby showers here and had the exact sentiments after those events as well. I will forever look back on my experience here with nothing but smiles and heartfelt memories. Thank you to Jill, Joe, Kate and Josh - you truly made our dream wedding come true.

Savage Wedding Co. 

5.0

  • Photographer
  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $2,400
  • Serves South Portland, ME

I’m Magnus Savage, owner of Savage Wedding Co. (formerly The Toasted Brew), a Portland, Maine–based wedding photographer. I photograph weddings with a balance of structure and freedom. I let moments happen naturally when they can, and I step in when they need direction. The goal is simple: keep the day moving, keep things honest, and leave room for creativity where it matters most.

Magnus was such an awesome photographer. We wanted someone who would capture both the staged and "real" moments of our special day and he did! He is also friendly and down-to-earth. There aren't many photographers who will also have casual conversations with you as well. He cared about getting to know us so he could match the vibe in his photography. He incorporated our vision for our day and captured both the large and small moments. We can't recommend him enough! Thanks Magnus!

Gunnar’s Icelandic Hot Dogs is here to bring something different—and a lot delicious—to your wedding day! We’ve put our own twist on Icelandic-style hot dogs that have guests raving about being the best they’ve ever had. While our traditional menu is designed to please, we’re happy to collaborate with you on any custom options or unique menu items that’ll make your day truly special (caviar dogs, anyone?). Whether it’s a fun rehearsal dinner, a late-night snack to fuel the dance floor, or a memorable surprise that’ll have your guests talking, we’re here to add that chef’s kiss to your celebration!

We worked with Gunnar’s Hotdogs for a community Holliday Market and they were wonderful! The hotdogs are amazing, the taste is great, and the toppings take the dogs to another level with both taste, texture, and esthetic! The unique style of dogs complimented the European Christmas market vibe we were going for with the event, couldn’t recommend enough!

Clay Taylor Photo

  • Photographer
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $7,000
  • Serves South Portland, ME

My name is Clay and I have been a photographer for over 10 years. My passion is documenting couples and their love story. I am from Dallas, Texas and now currently reside in the state of Maine but travel all around the world getting to capture all of the love!

From the moment we met Clay, we knew we wanted him as our photographer! He’s professional, organized, and talented - but also fun, easygoing, and genuinely kind. We worked with him for our engagement, wedding, and day-after photos, and he was always punctual and flexible with our schedule. We absolutely loved our photos and were amazed at how quickly he delivered them - the previews just days after the wedding were so exciting to see! He even went above and beyond when my husband forgot his wedding band for the day-after shoot, offering one of his own so we could still get the perfect shots. Moments like that show what an incredible person he is! Clay captured every moment beautifully, and we couldn’t recommend him more, he’s amazing!!!
