"We had first met with Chris in person for a meet and greet, which I would have never thought to play such an integral role in the process. He demonstrated so much passion for the trade and was so invested in making sure he was exactly the photographer we were looking for so we could truly get the most out of our day. " - Steph

Every experience we had with Chris was incredible. On the intro call, we immediately knew Chris was the one for us. He's calm, confident, entertaining, and thoughtful. Although we had cheaper quotes, we knew Chris would be the one to capture the moments for us to cherish for the rest of our lives. And in looking at the photos he captured of our wedding, we were 100% correct. Chris has an incredible eye for wedding magic. He makes everyone feel comfortable in his presence, and we love how candid his photography is. He's wonderful at capturing quiet moments as well as the motion of dance (see his awesome action shots below!). He doesn't just focus on us as a couple - he captured beautiful portraits of our friends and family that immediate bring us back to the moments. Chris's photography is a work of art, a vignette of the most magical days of our lives, and we are so grateful to have chosen Chris as our photographer. If you're looking for an artist to transport you to your most magical day when you look at his photographs, run - don't walk. He books up fast!

Johanna Sorrell Photography

  • Serves Portland, ME

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.

My spouse and I were lucky enough to have Jo take photos of us for our September 20th elopement in Portland Maine. Prior to the big day, we spoke with Jo on the phone and knew she would be a great match for us. She was thoughtful, quick to respond, and answered all of our questions. She even touched base with us in the days leading up to our elopement. On the day itself, she came to our home for some pre-ceremony photos. Although she had had a stressful morning due to some car trouble, we never would have known. Our two dogs (one of whom is not always people friendly) quickly warmed to Jo and she got some great shots of them as well. We made our way over to city hall, where we got more photos, and she even signed as our witness. She gave us great direction on poses, which was definitely appreciated. After, we all shared in a meal together before my partner and I exchanged private boys, which Jo also caught some amazing photos of. We received our sneak peek very quickly, and our full gallery two months later (on our two month wedding anniversary, which was such a lovely surprise). We truly couldn't have imagined our day without Jo. The photos were incredible and truly captured exactly what we'd had in mind. We continue to feel very fortunate that she was available to work with us. We had a lot of fun with her and it felt like we got to spend the day with a close friend rather then someone we had just met earlier in the day. If you are looking for a Maine based photographer, you cannot go wrong with Jo!

Jenna Cavanaugh Photography 

5.0

Portland, ME
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $5,000

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.

Jenna was the perfect choice for our wedding photography. From our first interaction, Jenna was professional, responsive, and thoughtful in her communication. Her talented artistic eye and down to earth approach shone through in the comprehensive set of photos she captured that truly reflected the vibe of our wedding and felt authentic to our relationship. Jenna took the time to get to know us as a couple and learn what was most important to capture about the day. She provided just the right amount of direction to ensure the photos came out natural and relaxed, rather than overly posed. We are thrilled with the beautiful memories Jenna helped us preserve from our special day.

Bethany and Dan Photography

Portland, ME
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $5,400

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.

Bethany and Dan Photography were the perfect photographers for our wedding day. From our first interaction, their communication was clear, consistent, and friendly, putting us at ease immediately. The quality of their work was truly stunning - they captured the most interesting and intimate moments throughout the day in a way that felt like they were part of the family. Bethany and Dan made us and all of our guests feel so comfortable, allowing us to feel in control of our special day. We cannot recommend Bethany and Dan Photography more highly - they were an absolute pleasure to work with and the photos they delivered are ones we will cherish forever.

Picture Aimee

Portland, ME
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,100

Hey! I'm Aimee, a film photographer based in Portland, Maine. I work primarily with film as a way of slowing down and paying attention. Film shapes my approach — intuitive and intentional — creating space for imperfection, inspiration and play. My work is grounded in documentation rather than direction. I follow what’s unfolding, offering gentle guidance only when needed, allowing the day to flow naturally.

We were looking for a more photojournalistic, slice-of-life style photographer with a bit of a vintage flair for our Maine Camp Wedding, Aimee was exactly what we were looking for! Aimee captured the joy and beauty of our day, the gorgeous scenery, and many artful shots of all of the details that made our wedding special. Aimee was organized, communicated well and thoroughly both in the lead up to the wedding and day-of. Aimee was so sweet and made us feel very comfortable, letting us lead the way, but gently guiding us when needed. If you are looking for a more relaxed, artistic and organic wedding photography experience, look no further!

Katie Arnold Photography

Portland, ME
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $6,500

One of my favorite parts about this job is watching confidence grow right before the lens. When couples go from, “we’re going to be hard to photograph, we’re so awkward.” to “ no way! That’s us?” my heart could explode every time! Because what is on my camera is exactly what I see in you. It isn’t “you’re so talented!” or “that’s an amazing camera!” no, no. It’s simply you with the one you feel most comfortable with and who fills your heart and soul as no one or thing can. That my friend is genuine love in its most simplistic and powerful form. And it’s what I capture best. :)

After doing much research, I was blessed to stumble across Katie on Instagram. I immediately fell in love with her work; her photos are rarely staged, all authentic, “in the moment” candid shots. On top of her amazing work she is the most kind hearted, down the earth person. Going to our engagement session, we didn’t know what to expect. We immediately felt comfortable with Katie and never felt awkward. We had to postpone due to COVID and Katie was so easy and accommodating! Our wedding photos are absolutely stunning, there truly isn’t a bad shot! I recommend Katie to every one and will continue to go to her in the future for any of my photography needs :)

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.

Revolution Summer Photography

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,380
  • Serves Portland, ME

Nostalgia drove me into photography at an early age - and lead me into my studies of photojournalism. We all innately know when we're at a critical juncture in our lives. For me, being able to authentically capture, to preserve those moments in a photograph is such a privilege. I know how much it means to me to be able to look back and say 'this is how things actually happened.' There is beauty in those truths. The kind of folks I work with share that appreciation.

Awarded Best of Zola
When we first started working with Corey, he assured us that his goal wasn't just to capture our day in photos but to really capture the "feel" of our day...and he couldn't have been more spot on. Looking through our photos brings us right back to every magical moment of our wedding day. The emotions, the movements, the colors, the love...every part of it is portrayed in Corey's pictures. If we ever need another photographer for anything at all, we will surely be contacting Corey. Thank you so much for everything you did for us!

We couldn’t be happier with the incredible work Portraits by Sean did on our wedding day! From start to finish, he was professional, creative, and so easy to work with. Sean stayed until the very end of the night, capturing every special moment without ever making us feel rushed. One of the things we really appreciated was how he worked with the kids—getting them to smile and be comfortable without any stress. Their ability to blend in while also capturing candid, beautiful moments was outstanding. We were blown away by the quality of the photos, and they truly exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend Portraits by Sean to anyone looking for a talented and reliable photographer to capture the magic of their day!

I have always felt uncomfortable in front of a camera and because of this I was so nervous of how they would come out. Well let me tell you….they came out STUNNING. Mike and Joseph from Ledd made both of us feel so comfortable and actually made it enjoyable. They were so creative with ideas to get amazing shots, including a really cool long exposure to capture the nighttime sky. I couldn’t have asked for a better team or more beautiful photos.

Hi! I’m Justin (he/him) and I’m here to affirm your love, make you feel like a fucking rockstar, and dance like a total fool. Oh, and take so many gorgeous photos of y’all. Obvs. My style blends both documentary photojournalism and fine art photography: coaching folks who are shy in front of the camera, then stepping back to capture authentic moments uninterrupted. I’ve been lucky enough to have my work published by A Practical Wedding, The New York Times, GLAMOUR, People Magazine and many other fabulous outlets. I'm a stereotypical Capricorn that loves drag shows, campy horror films, every dog I meet, and Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups.

When unexpected things happened on the day of, they didn’t bat an eye and made sure we still got all of the shots we wanted.

My name is Ali Cushing; a NY-based photographer working in a blended documentary and editorial approach, emphasized with a cinematic method, and a personalized, true to life editing style. I am honored to be entrusted with depicting genuine love, authentic characters, and immortalizing precious memories. I see beauty in the subtle details as much as the wide, epic scene, while I see glory in the mundane in-between moments as much as the heart thudding highs. I am adamant that everyone, of all genders and orientations, any ethnicity, culture, or faith, all shapes, ages, and abilities, are welcome and I’d be delighted to work with you.

I am SO HAPPY that we hired Ali for our wedding! She was so kind and easygoing while also totally in command and on top of every request we had photography wise. Her years of wedding coordination and event experience were truly evident throughout every step of the day. Not only was she totally on top of keeping us on our timeline and capturing all of the special moments, but she even went into super hero mode and on the spot sewed one of my bridesmaids dresses in the bathroom right before the ceremony without showing an ounce of stress. We already received our preview photos and are truly blown away by how she captured our love & our special day. Her attention to detail, calming presence, and creative approach are truly invaluable and we will be recommending her to everyone we know for years to come!

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.

Your wedding is not a performance. It's the way you look at each other when no one's watching. Your hand finding theirs without thinking. My couples care more about what’s real than what looks good on a grid. They want gorgeous photos but also want them to mean something. The couples I work with have depth. Their stories have weight. They want someone behind the lens who sees them. Not just how they look, but who they are. Presence over performance. That's the closest I can get to naming it.

Awarded Best of Zola
We can’t recommend Danielle enough! From the very beginning she went above and beyond, researching, planning, and creating an itinerary for us leading up to our elopement day. Every location she chose was absolutely breathtaking and far from the tourist crowds, which was exactly what we were hoping for. Danielle truly turned our vision into reality and captured the magic of our day in a way we’ll cherish forever. Thank you for everything!!!

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.

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
Julie is super skilled and fun to work with. We wanted someone to capture fun photos (vs the traditional photos) and she fully delivered for both our engagement and wedding photos. She’s super flexible and made us feel so comfortable the whole time given us direction while also capturing many candid shots. She has a knack for capturing the pure joy of the moments. HIGHLY recommend!

Dan has been doing the website photos for Authentically You Counseling for the past few years. Although it’s not a wedding - I can speak to his character and work. Dan brings his sense of humor to his professional work to make everyone feel more comfortable in front of the camera. We are a fun bunch and he took advantage of that - offering some fun shots along with the professional ones. He was able to capture the personalities of those he photographed.
