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.

From start to finish Jenna made picking, planning, and working with a wedding photographer seem like the easiest part of our day. She took time to walk us through the plan for the whole event, made sure we got the every group shot we wanted, and didn't miss a candid photo all day or night. Her communication throughout was top notch and I never felt uncomfortable reaching out with random questions or requests. Not only did she make planning it easy, she felt like family by the end of the day. My biggest fear with having professional photos done was our photos looking forced or awkward (these are forever memories!) and Jenna did NOT disappoint! We now have the most amazing photos to look back on from the most amazing day. If you are contemplating hiring Jenna to document your day, I promise you wont be disappointed! She is the definition of talent, kindness and spunk, and we would hire her again in an instant. We HIGHLY recommend her services to anyone in the area who is looking for a wedding photographer!

Michelle K. Martin Photography

Portland, ME
  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $4,950

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!!!

Hi ya’ll! I’m Nat. I’m a southerner who’s recently moved to New England. I am thrilled to be a photographer and part of making memories with you! There is something truly special about being the person who creates lasting stories to share. My love for photography began when my great grandmother gave me her point and shoot camera, and since then, I have been hooked. Some of my favorite things include espresso tonics, thunderstorms, and bookstores. As a photographer, I live for the fleeting moments of light and stories. I do my best to capture those moments with my cameras, and I find great joy in doing so.

Natalie worked with us this past weekend as a 2nd photographer for a large, backyard wedding. She did great capturing all the moments with the guests and details. She had some beautiful classic couples portraits as well! I will absolutely have her on our team again.

Bethany and Dan Photography 

5.0

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 are always one of our favorite photography duos to recommend! They excel at capturing the fun of a couple's wedding day - those moments of joy when guests and the newlyweds are all sharing in the excitement of such a special day. Going through their albums, you can always relive the emotions of the day - they're more than beautiful images - they have a sense of life infused all along the way. We've experienced firsthand how at-ease they make couples feel, and they're always willing to take some risks and experiment with more than just your typical wedding photos - often leading to the most frame worthy images of all!

Best Wishes is a husband and wife photo and video team, recently re-local to Portland, ME. We specialize in candid imagery in a documentary style with a tender bent- and offer video and still photography. We shoot on film and in digital formats, for a nostalgic feel. We pride ourselves on storytelling, cultivating sincerity and authenticity in our work, and making folks feel comfortable and confident on camera. Our ideal client is someone who values connection, who is looking for something unique, who treasures a tender photo of a loved one laughing, who leans into a little nostalgia, and who needs all the social media crops!

Cecile as amazing to work with. After talking and seeing multiple photographers portfolios Cecile was an easy choice. Her eye for documenting our big day was beyond the planned staged photos. She captured all the great moments we would have missed if it wasn’t for her. Family gather before, meet ups inbetween and precious moments during. She was hands down the easiest person to talk with about our vision and seamlessly navigated getting ready, ceremony, and after party photos. We have several photos up in our house and they are everything we wished for.

Katie Arnold Photography 

5.0

Portland, ME
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $5,600

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 :)

The Leighton Co

Portland, ME
  • Photojournalistic style

The Leighton Co. is a husband and wife photography and filmmaking team documenting stories of love and life through intentional, modern, and genuine imagery. We believe that when the day isn't solely focused around the photos and video, then THAT is when you get the best footage.

I highly recommend Becca and Scott. I sent in an inquiry form, and soon after Becca scheduled a call for us to discuss what we envisioned for our wedding day and to tell us about their different packages. We were not certain that we wanted a videographer, but Becca and Scott helped to guide us to make the best choice for us. Leading up to our wedding day, Becca was great about communicating with us. And best of all she created a day of timeline for us! I was so stressed about the timing of the day, but once I saw her suggested timeline, I knew it would work out great. On the day of our wedding, both Becca and Scott were awesome. They were supportive and kind, making sure that we were comfortable and able to be where we wanted to. We never felt awkward or like we were “forcing it” for the cameras. Post wedding, Becca and Scott were again great about communicating with us about when they would deliver our finalized photos and video. Both our engagement and wedding photos/ videos are beautiful. The Leighton Co has a timeless style that we love, and they do a great job of capturing you and your day as it is. It is very obvious how much hard work they put in, and how dedicated they are to the couples they work with. I know that we will look back at our pictures and videos for many years and instantly remember how loved we felt that day.

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. These images aren't just for you, after all - they're for the branches of your family tree that have yet to grow. For the generations to come.

Awarded Best of Zola
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 highly recommend Artsinfotos Photography for wedding photography. We got married in Bar Harbor Maine and also took photos in Acadia NP. Christophe was extremely professional and a joy to work with throughout the planning process and on our big day. His communication was always timely and efficient in nailing down details. He has an artistic eye for capturing emotional, raw moments as they happen and didn't miss a single special detail. Christophe was able to beautifully photograph all the joy, laughter, tears, and love without us even needing a videographer. Receiving his magical sneak peek photos so quickly after the wedding was amazing. During the event, Christophe subtly directed us at times to get some incredible shots. With his experience and talent behind the lens, we will treasure these images forever. We can't say enough good things about Christophe!

They were able to capture all of the key moments of the day, and I was blown away by the final photos. The quality was stunning, and each photo perfectly captured the emotion and energy of the day.

Hello! Hi! It's so nice to meet you. My name is Hilary! I am a Professional Photographer and Super 8 Videographer based in Southern Maine specializing in Elopements, Weddings, Families, Lifestyles, and more. After attending college in Boston for photography, I found myself shooting weddings for friends and have built my casual endeavor into a beautiful, fun business. Since then, I have expanded into Super 8 and film photography focusing on commercial and lifestyle family sessions.

Hilary has a way of quietly capturing the magic in the milestones and the ordinary moments - at weddings and beyond. Every single photo she delivers tells a story of its own, and every time I look back through our images, I notice something new. It's a beautiful thing to witness an artist in action, and to frame her work on your wall later. I recommend Hilary to everyone! For documenting all of life's big stuff and everything in between.

My name is Clay and I have been a photographer for nearly 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!

We had such a great experience with Clay and his team! We chose the package with the engagement shoot which was such a fun time and allowed us to get to know each other and build a rapport with him. The photos turned out amazing! On the wedding day he was so great and easy to work with; Clay went with the Bride/bridemaids while they got ready and his second photographer went with the groom/groomsmen. We both had such a fun time shooting with them and we could not have asked for a more fun time! Clay gave us a sneak peek album two days after the wedding and the pictures turned out amazing so far! Would highly recommend booking him!

I can’t say enough good things about Taylor! Not only is she my wonderful friend, but I have been lucky enough to be on the receiving end of her talent, as she’s taken beautiful and I mean BEAUTIFUL photos of me throughout my entire pregnancy. As a photographer myself this is no easy task, but Taylor has a gift for setting people at ease, making them feel beautiful and creating truly unique shots. Not only have I been the subject of her work, but I’ve also been able to work with her on weddings and I can truly say there is no one I would rather work with. Taylor is so good at catching those beautiful moments as they unfold (the first kiss, the first look) but also the inbetween moments (aunt Mary hugging your cousin at cocktail hour and your little niece break dancing on the dance floor). Her editing is timeless and who she is as a person just makes you want to go back for every important life event. I highly recommend Taylor for all your life moments!

I cannot say enough good things about the whole team at VMG Productions. Everything from start to finish was professional, kind and exactly what we were hoping for in a videographer. On our wedding day, we barely even noticed the team filming us and it felt extremely authentic. Des and Jon felt like friends attending our wedding (in the best way possible) and we felt so comfortable around them. Our friends and family shared that same review as well and even told us our wedding video was the best they've seen (we tend to agree). Matt was so wonderful to communicate with throughout this entire process and our wedding video is truly straight out of our dreams. Thank you so much to the entire team!!! We are eternally grateful.

Weddings are such a beautiful event and I get so thrilled to capture those special moments for the couple as well as their guests that will last forever. I enjoy working with people to make the most out of their entire experience.

Jack went above and beyond. He met with us before the wedding to fine tune what we wanted and get to know us. He came to the rehearsal to figure out lighting and meet the “important people” haha. He also checked out our venue for reception before wedding and met our wedding coordinator! We had a cocktail hour while we did pictures so he was able to hire a second shooter as well if you needed such. The electricity went out at the church right before the ceremony and he was a pro- pictures turned out great! Really felt like he cared so much and put so much into our big day and really captured the best moments and had great ideas when doing our couples pictures after ceremony. The wedding is gone before you know it but the pictures last forever! THANK YOU JACK!!

Capturing love stories all over the world. With a keen eye for detail and a love for genuine emotions, I strive to capture the essence of your unique love story. Each image is crafted with care, ensuring that your wedding day is not just an event but a timeless, cherished experience. I would love to be a part of your journey, preserving the magic and elegance of your celebration through our lens. Love all.

My husband and I got married in August of 2021. COVID-19 restrictions were winding down, however, we did have family attending the wedding from another country (and the border was still closed while we were planning our wedding earlier in 2021). When we were searching for vendors, we hoped that we could find someone that would be considerate of our additional difficulties of planning an (international) wedding. We also hoped that our photographer would be someone that would “join” our wedding, rather than “direct” the wedding. From the first phone call with Emily, to our engagement photo session, and our wedding, Emily exceeded all our expectations. While discussing the wedding, she made us feel our concerns and wishes were heard, providing her own experienced feedback along the way. She was prepared and flexible on our wedding day (which ended up being a rainy, outdoor wedding). As we hoped, she effortlessly and gracefully joined our wedding as what felt like just another family member. She kindly guided everyone throughout all organized photos and captured many beautiful candid photos as well. Emily is extremely talented in capturing amazing moments with exceptional photo style/quality. My husband and I (as well as many others that were part of our wedding) kept saying over and over how wonderful Emily was. Our wedding photos are displayed throughout our house and on our phones, laptops, etc. Emily went above and beyond to capture our day exactly as it was so that we could hold onto it forever through our photos. Since our wedding in 2021, we’ve worked with Emily on two other occasions, and she has continued to amaze us with her photos. We hope that she can join us in future significant family moments, because at this point, she feels like family!

With over 20+ years of experience with photography, capturing life's smallest and biggest moments has been a passion of mine. Being able to encapsulate these candid moments is such a privilege; one that we don't take lightly!

Symula Media Group was an absolute joy to work with for our engagement session ! From the very beginning Jen was incredibly friendly, timely, and personable in her communication. Her passion, creativity and experience shone through in the beautiful photos she captured of us that day. Jen worked with us through a heatwave in the north end of boston and captured the perfect shots with plenty of poses, location changes, and original ideas that really reflected the personality of my fiancé and I. Jen made us feel so comfortable and natural while taking photos, and we couldn't be happier with the final results. We highly recommend Symula Media Group to any couple looking for an exceptional wedding photography experience.

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.

We used Corey for our wedding and engagement pictures. We worked with him for several months and he was always super responsive and clear with expectations, pricing, and giving us ideas. The whole process was made super easy. We knew what his vision was and how to help execute it to get the best results. Expectations for the events were also made clear and put into writing which was nice. Corey also met with us remotely and in person to discuss, always making himself available with our busy schedules. The day of the wedding he arrived ahead of schedule to set up and scope out the venue. All the pictures we wanted were taken, he also captured incredible photos throughout the day which told a story of the wedding. This included us getting ready, setting up the venue, ceremony, reception, and first dances. All the little moments that make the day special are now captured in photos. Looking back through the photos, we're able to recount what we were doing and we just couldn't stop smiling. The photos are all very high quality and we're provided to us just two weeks after our wedding. We expected Corey to deliver great photos based on his portfolio but we were still absolutely blown away. These photos will absolutely be cherished for years to come. If you're looking for a professional to help guide you through the process of having a photographer, who is affordable, easy going, and clear with his artistic vision this is your guy. Thank you so much for doing an extraordinary job documenting our day

Just like you, I have felt awkward in front of the camera. I’ve had photos taken of me that I didn’t like. When you go on a session with me, I will not only make you feel comfortable, but I will make sure you look good! I will give you prompts to keep you moving and laughing.

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
Before we picked any other vendors, we knew we wanted to work with Justin. Choosing our photographer first was partially logistical and mostly because we loved him – he was the photographer at a wedding we were in previously, so we were lucky enough to get some first-hand experience with him and how he works! Justin makes everyone comfortable in front of the camera, regardless of experience. He’s so kind, affirming, fun, and funny that he makes it easy to feel like your best self in the photos. That wedding had a huge wedding party, and he did a great job at making the whole group look and feel fantastic, so we knew we would feel comfortable with him for our wedding. One of us is very camera-shy, so his kind and fun demeanor, while producing stunning photos, made him the only photographer we wanted to work with. Once we secured our wedding planner, the first thing we all did was compare dates with Justin because it was that important to us. We also hired Justin for our engagement photoshoot to use the photos for our Save-the-Dates – we can’t recommend that enough! It was the perfect way for us to practice getting photographed by him, and for him to get to know us as a couple in advance. He provided the most fun and thorough get-to-know-you questionnaires and calls prior to working with us that made us feel like he cared to deeply understand who he was photographing. He put so much time, thought, and dedication into our engagement shoot and wedding day – it made us feel so special, and every photograph we have feels perfect for us. On your wedding day, you’re around your photographer and their people ALL day, and they’re interacting with everyone else at the wedding. You want to hire a good person who can seamlessly integrate themselves into the day, get the shots you want, and still be having fun by the end of the day. Justin is absolutely that person, and everyone he works with matches those high standards as well. He advocates for you to make sure you get all the shots you want, plus so many you never knew you wanted but then can’t live without. We never felt steamrolled by any guests or family members because Justin kindly and strategically prioritized us and worked with our planner to keep us on schedule without us ever needing to keep track of the time. He made everyone comfortable in front of the camera through fun prompts and silly jokes and somehow maintained an enviably high energy level the entire day! Everyone at our wedding loved him and his second shooter, Carly, and only had great things to say about them. The end result of each day was stunning and we are obsessed. We attempted to “narrow down our favorites” and still ended up with hundreds of photos we absolutely love, from silly and loving candids, to directed moments that captured the feelings perfectly, and stunning posed shots that make us and our friends feel like models, Justin brought it all and we couldn’t be happier!

I like the way she picked the best photo spots and poses for us! She is well skilled in preparing you and taking the pictures and getting couples to pose in a nice way. Just the whole time we saw her taking a lot of pictures and we felt taken care of.

I love what I do. I found my way to professional photography in a roundabout way, having started my working career as a marine scientist and environmental educator in CA and then on Maui. After years immersed in the ocean and hundreds of hours spent underwater, I realized that I was happiest on days when I could adventure freely with a camera in hand. The drive to learn more and become a better photographer lead me back to school on the east coast, where I ended up finding a new dream career and a home and community that I love.

If we had to do it all over again, we would hire Laura without a doubt. Not just a photographer, Laura became a friend and helped keep us at ease throughout the day, especially during the pre-wedding frenzy. We are so lucky to have found Laura for our engagement in 2019. We were so blown away by the quality of her work and the amazing shots she captured, but also by how much fun we had working with her. Immediately after receiving our engagement photos, we knew Laura had to be the person that photographed our wedding. Thankfully Laura was available on our original wedding date (2020) and on our Covid-postponed wedding date. And we’re so glad she was—we truly couldn’t imagine working with anyone else! Laura was an incredible help throughout our wedding day, making sure we captured the pictures we wanted and adapting on the fly as wedding timelines change. She remained calm, cool, and collected, doing all she could to help us make decisions and keep things on track. Laura was also so helpful leading up to our wedding day. As our day got closer, we emailed and spoke on the phone to map out the timeline of the day, especially the pre-wedding timeline as we wanted to do a first look and most of the pictures with our wedding party and immediate family before the ceremony. She also does an amazing job capturing photos of our dog, including a first look that we did with him that Laura meticulously captured from a variety of angles. She scoped out various places for first looks, décor pictures, and so much more. We cannot say enough good things about Laura. She is an absolute pleasure to work with (wonderful person, easy going, flexible, and so fun), captures amazing photos that became instant keepsakes, and takes so much pride in her work. We were truly speechless when at the end of the night Laura gave us a framed photo from our wedding, earlier that day. Thank you for everything, Laura. There are no words to describe how much we love working with you and we will absolutely be working together again!

IF you want a wedding photographer who will instantly become a friend look no further than Meraki Photos Inc. We met Rayleen at the Connecticut Bridal and Wedding Expo and instantly feel in love with the spirit of her work. Rayleen’s eye for detail is amazing. Throw that in with her technical skills, down to earth personality, and professionalism and you have found yourself a true artist. Rayleen will stop at nothing to make sure she captures the most incredible shots, even if that means going outside in freezing cold temperatures or scaling a fence. She takes the time to get to know you as a couple, listen to your vision, and create magic that you didn’t even know you needed. Our fall wedding was the most beautiful day and I am so grateful that we booked with Meraki Photos. The photos from the day are absolutely stunning and capture the real joy and essence of our love. Seriously our friends and family cannot stop raving on how beautifully everything was photographed. We have found a life long photographer in Rayleen. She has been there with us through all our most important moments: engagement photoshoot, wedding day, maternity session, newborn photoshoot and mommy and me photo session. We are looking forward to our daughter’s smash cake session and family Christmas photos this year. We wholeheartedly recommend Meraki Photos Inc to anyone seeking extraordinary photos and an unforgettable experience.

I have been a photographer for 8 years. Throughout my time as a photographer I’ve captured clothing, models, and memories. I shifted from corporate shootings to families and weddings because it gave me this warm fuzzy feeling when I edited my couples and families photos. Don’t be afraid to reach out to me and ask about my photography style, my editing style, or my favorite restaurant! I highly recommend scheduling a free consulting session!

Grace was extremely responsive and dedicated throughout the planning process, taking time to understand our vision and priorities for capturing the event. On the wedding day itself, Grace and her team went above and beyond to get creative shots, even climbing on chairs and furniture 7 months pregnant! We're so grateful we chose Oury Memories to document memories we'll treasure forever.
