Awarded Best of Zola
We found Carl through Zola. His communication throughout the process was prompt, and he met with us multiple times to ensure he understood what we were looking for and laid out his perspective as well. Carl took some time a couple weeks before the wedding to meet us at the venue so he could understand the layout. After the posed wedding party pictures and once the socializing began, things took a turn as nearly all guests wanted to pose with my wife and I. While that was not part of the initial plan as both Carl and us wanted more candid shots, Carl took every person's picture with our friends and the newly married couple. He didn't complain and just went with the flow as that is what seemed most natural and met the wants of the guests. He's a great guy who really cares about his craft and meeting the needs of his clients.

I loved working with the LE Glam Team for my wedding day makeup! Erin and Lisa were extremely responsive and helpful whenever I had questions leading up to the big day. On the day-of, they arrived early and made me feel calm and at ease. I wanted a natural glam look for myself and my bridesmaids. Everyone looked and felt beautiful without looking overdone. For me personally, Erin and Lisa helped me tweak my trial look to exactly how I envisioned feeling on my wedding day - glam but still like myself.

Awarded Best of Zola
You should ABSOLUTELY choose DJ Kelsey for your wedding — or any event, really. When my wife and I started searching for vendors, we approached every decision with a lot of thought and research. On the Get Down Tonight website, I watched all the DJs’ introduction videos. At first, I realized I had inadvertently skipped the female DJs, immediately corrected myself, and watched their videos. Both women were fantastic, but Kelsey instantly stood out. While many DJs covered the usual talking points, Kelsey was the only one who emphasized being detail-oriented — mastering the pronunciation of every name, paying attention to pacing, and understanding the many moving parts of a wedding. She’s all about creating an incredible dance floor vibe, but she also clearly understands the responsibility of running the flow of an entire event. The DJ truly sets the tone, and Kelsey takes that seriously. Our friends and family love to be silly and have fun on the dance floor, and Kelsey understood that energy immediately. She chose songs perfectly, and throughout the night people kept complimenting our DJ while we were still dancing. My response every time was, “I know — she just gets it!” Kelsey asked us to create playlists of must-plays and do-not-plays, but by our final planning call we fully trusted her judgment. If she felt a song would hit perfectly in the moment, we wanted her to go for it — and she did. The entire night was banger after banger, and the dance floor stayed packed. One moment that absolutely blew us away happened after my two brothers gave their speech. They told a childhood story involving a niche, repetitive song I used to sing, and even sang it as part of the speech. After speeches ended and dinner music resumed — surprise! — Kelsey had somehow found that exact song and played it at the perfect moment. Everyone cracked up, and we got so many compliments on her quick thinking. I had even suspected she might do it as my brothers were singing, and she didn’t disappoint. At the end of the night, Kelsey shared the sweetest comments with us about our wedding, saying how wonderful our guests were and how warmly everyone treated the vendors. The next day she sent us a short clip of our first dance, along with kind words that meant a lot — especially since I had choreographed it myself. In another guest’s video, you can even see her cheering for us along with our friends and family. Kelsey told us she felt like a guest at our wedding, and I honestly consider that one of the highest compliments she could have given us — because that’s exactly how present, genuine, and connected she was throughout the night. You cannot go wrong with choosing DJ Kelsey. 10 out of 10. No notes.

Awarded Best of Zola
We had Daniel as our DJ for our wedding last week, and we honestly couldn’t have asked for anyone better. From the very beginning, he was so easy to work with — relaxed, professional, and incredibly organized. His music platform made it simple for us to curate our ideal wedding playlist, and he took the time to really understand our vision — what we loved, what we didn’t, and the overall vibe we wanted for the day. In the weeks leading up to the wedding, Daniel was so communicative and made sure we felt completely comfortable and confident before the big day. He even provided microphones for our ceremony (even though we had a string quartet for our ceremony and cocktail hour) and had the perfect lighting setup for the dance floor, which added so much energy to the night. And when it came time to dance — the dance floor was packed all night long. He read the crowd perfectly, kept the momentum going, and played music that truly reflected us. We loved that he wasn’t heavy on the mic; he let the music speak for itself and created such an amazing atmosphere. Our guests are still raving about how great the DJ was! Daniel went above and beyond in every way, and we’re so grateful to him for making our night unforgettable. We can’t recommend him highly enough — if you’re looking for a DJ who genuinely cares, listens, and absolutely delivers, Daniel is your guy!

My husband and I are eternally grateful for the Red Barn and their staff. From the beginning, Nicole was extremely attentive and answered all of our questions when booking the venue. One of the main reasons we picked the Red Barn was because of its natural beauty inside and out. The wood finishes and landscaping are the perfect backdrop to any wedding, which allows you to decorate as much or as little as you want. We worked with Rachel in the last 3 months before the big day and could not have asked for a better day of coordinator. She made us feel so calm and heard throughout the process. She was open and excited about all of our ideas. Her and the staff made our decorations and personal touches look better than we could have imagined when we arrived on wedding day. The food, drinks and atmosphere were amazing, as well. The Red Barn made things feel so easy on the most important day of our lives. We will cherish these memories for years to come!

Justin did an INCREDIBLE job at our wedding. His preparation and attention to detail beforehand was immaculate, as he spent over an hour with my partner and me going over the entire wedding day step by step. The sound systems were flawless- everyone could hear our vows during the ceremony and the quality of the sound during the entire day and night was exceptional. He kept our wedding very organized and was the perfect host. Regarding the music selection, he allowed us to make playlists for the cocktail hour and reception which he stuck to using beautiful transitions between songs. Our guests were dancing the entire night! All of our guests said it was the most fun wedding they had ever attended. 10/10 DJ, would definitely recommend him for any event. I included a pic of me doing the worm in my wedding dress. The dance floor was too packed so I had to do it on the side!

Getting married at the Granite Rose was the best decision we made. The planning team there is absolutely amazing - Anna helped us through most planning sessions, and Jill was our day of coordinator - both amazing at their jobs. Between the Granite Rose staff, and the partnerships with many of our vendors, our wedding went off without a hitch, and we were actually able to enjoy the process. We had an absolute blast on our wedding day, and it was absolutley due to this venue and their staff. I do not think we would have enjoyed our day this much if it had been at a different venue. From the decor, to the food, to the bar, to the dancefloor, everything was amazing. Could not have asked for a better crew - Our banquet coordinator, Joshua, had the most amazing energy, and made sure that my husband and I always had what we needed and that any concerns were addressed immediately. Our bartender, Mariah, was great at her job, and remembered everyone's drink order the entire night. The food was phenomenal - so delicious and our Chefs Jim and Joe were able to accomodate every allergy/request with no fuss. Our entire crew was so professional and we are so impressed by the service they provided (shout out Tirk, Kiara, Jen, and Hunter). We would highly recommend using Wedgewood Weddings for your wedding/event, and in particular looking into the Granite Rose, and their awesome team! We loved it!

Rating: 5.0 (24 reviews)
  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,600
  • Serves Dayton, ME

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
If you are looking for photographers who not only deliver high quality pictures but also help to make your day fun and enjoyable, April and Jordan are the ones for you! I can not even describe how incredible my experience with Alba Lumos was. April was able to use her own vison while also hearing what we wanted and incorporating that as well. My now husband is SOO uncomfortable being in front of a camera, and she was able to make his feel comfortable and even enjoy having his photos taken! The sneak peak pictures (attached) from the wedding are INCREDIBLE!!!! I will be doing all future photos with Alba Lumos, and highly recommend them!

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.

My heart beats for real, authentic moments—the kind where love and laughter come effortlessly.

Awarded Best of Zola
Our goal for wedding photos was to be transported back to our wedding day - more of a storytelling style than formal portraits. Felisha totally nailed it, and somehow managed to capture some extra magic in there too. Leading up to the wedding, Felisha was great at helping us feel comfortable with her, and we’re usually camera shy! We felt like we made a new friend! We weren’t planning to do a “first look”, but after how much we loved our engagement photos we decided to add that element to our wedding day as an excuse to get more time with Felisha and have some more Amazing portraits. During the wedding, Felisha and her second shooter were totally professional and unobtrusive - we didn’t notice them doing their thing, and neither did our guests. She was fun to work with, super on top of everything, and the results speak for themselves. We’re already dreaming up other life events that we might want to have professionally photographed, as an excuse to work with her again!

Hi, I’m Julie! I’ve been photographing weddings for about ten years now (holy cow, do I feel old!), starting with photographing friends' weddings and quickly falling in love with the work. While I adore capturing gorgeous portraits of the bride and groom and the quiet (and sometimes chaotic!), beautiful moments during a wedding/elopement/engagement session, those ridiculous candid moments (like when a stranger offers you a fry on the boardwalk during your bridesmaid photos) truly make your day uniquely yours. I'd absolutely describe my style as a mixture of classic, artistic and photojournalism, but my heart lies in capturing candid moments.

Thank you so much for the amazing photos! Nick and I absolutely LOVE how they came out!! You are so creative and captured all of our favorite moments so perfectly!!

Sarah is an amazing photographer. I looked at probably a dozen other photographers for our wedding, but my fiancé and I were both super impressed with Sarah’s work and affordability. We recently had our engagement photos done and I was an anxious mess since I don’t normally wear make up or have my photos taken. However, I’m OBSESSED with how the photos came out. I feel so pretty looking at them and they truly represent our love and goofy relationship. Cannot wait to see the photos from our wedding next year.

Main Event was the recommended DJ service from our venue, and the matching process to put us with the rigth DJ was so easy. Once we met with Kevin, we had high hopes for our big day, and I am not exaggerating when I say that Kevin blew our hopes out of the water. Kevin helped with audio for our ceremony, before doing music and speeches at our cocktail hour and reception. We requested a high energy dancefloor, with classics from all decades to get everyone on their feet, and wanted to have an insane dance party with our friends and family. He killed it. The energy on the dancefloor was impeccable, and Kevin delivered our vision PERFECTLY. He was so professional, but fun, and everything went very smoothly, no hiccups, no complaints. I would absolutlely, 100% recommend Kevin, and Main Event Entertainment, for anyone looking for a DJ for a wedding or event. You will not be disappointed.

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!

Kate was incredible to work with!! She literally made all of my wedding flower dreams come true! And a year later when a couple flowers in my bouquet got ruined (during our move) she fixed it for me without hesitation! So kind, very cost friendly, and SO TALENTED!!!

I cannot say enough great things about Hyla Brook Estate! From the very first virtual tour we took with Kim, we knew it was the perfect place for our March wedding. From start to finish, Kim and the entire team at HBE were communicative, helpful, encouraging, and kind. All my bridesmaids and many guests commented on how well-run everything was the entire day of the wedding. We had a slightly larger guest list for having everything inside, and Kim and her staff executed it all flawlessly. The space itself is STUNNING, and utilizing the Something Borrowed Collection is an insanely great value! I did all my own flowers and they let me get well over a hundred bud vases the day before the wedding. I brought all the vases to the venue filled on the morning of my wedding and Kim and Lindsey did an incredible job laying everything out. Top to bottom the entire process was just so easy. My guests had a great time, we had a great time - what else could you want?? We even got the most beautiful personalized care package from the team - wooden cutting board, soft blanket, candle, tumblers, canvas bag, etc. Thank you so much to Kim, Amanda, Lindsay, the Ashley's, and the entire staff at Hyla Brook Estate!!

I’m a New Hampshire wedding photographer, who specializes in candid, natural wedding photography, serving all of New England for over fifteen years. Almost all of my couples come to me saying that they feel weird in front of the camera and worried about how their photos will turn out. But of course they want those gorgeous, Pinterest-worthy shots! My laid-back attitude will help put you at ease, helping your true personalities shine through (with simple and fun guidance for the posed photos). And my quiet and calm nature makes it easy for me to blend into the background, to get tons of candid photos that you will make you laugh and cry.

Brett did an incredible job capturing our winter wedding! She was easy to work with, communicative, and friendly from the start. Our wedding photos came out incredible, and she did a great job of mixing posed photos with lots of candids, and even walked up a snowy ski slope with us to take ski lift pictures. We also requested film photos and she did this with no extra charge besides the film itself. She sent us a preview the day after the wedding, and our whole edited photo package arrived less than a few weeks later which was a happy surprise! We highly recommend working with Brett as your wedding photographer.

I’ve been making pictures since I was 12. My parents gave me an ancient 35mm Konica Autoreflex camera, told me to get after it, and the rest, as they say, is history. My role as a photographer is to capture the rare, vulnerable, epic, extraordinary, and wonderfully ordinary moments of life, as well as the beautiful details in between. I strive to make images that come from the heart and will tell your story for years to come. Also, I might cry at your wedding. It happens.

Jo was the best addition to our day - everyone should hire her! She takes amazing photos and is so fun to work with. We are pretty sure that neither of us have had our photo professionally taken since middle school, so we really wanted a photographer that would make us feel at ease, and Jo is a master at that. Less of a photographer, more just a friend with a camera, she just becomes a part of the party. She took some major weather curveballs in stride, wrangled our huge families expertly, and made us feel so comfortable for the whole day. The whole process from the first emails, to engagement photos, to wedding day was smooth as silk. Our friends and family kept saying to us “your photographer is awesome” and we agree - best photographer ever!

At Nectar & Vessel our ethos is sustainability + bliss-forward designs. We specialize in arrangements that are full of texture, unique and lush. We crave the weirdo flowers, the heirloom varieties and mixing in contrasting natural elements. We don't try to be on-trend, rather we are intuitive with the flower and our clients and let the flower speak to us.

When I started planning my wedding, I had a general vision that I was going for, but did not have exact ideas on wedding florals. I knew was that I wanted my wedding to look timeless, sophisticated and organic. From my first meeting with Naomi, I knew she understood my vision. When I received the proposal, I was blown away that she took my ideas and made them even better than I imagined. She was creative with my vibe and budget, suggesting things like tall organic vessels around the ceremony versus a traditional arch and instead of just white flowers, suggested sophisticated neutrals. The day was that much more stunning because of Naomi's florals. They were truly art and my guests were raving about the design. I couldn't recommend N&V enough. Thank you so much again Naomi!
