I am SO excited that you stumbled upon my work! I shoot weddings all across the Florida & New England! Capturing raw, true emotions as they happen is what I’m all about. 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. To the first kiss and “OMG you’re my spouse now!!” feels. To the unexpected Taco Bell run you make after the ceremony or your grandparents getting down on the dance floor. Being able to grab the moments for you to hold to forever, is such a rewarding humbling job for me.

Not only did Erika and Dee show up early to personally assure all the necessary elements of the day, but they even came prepared with a printed plan and a second copy for me. These two assisted my staff with set up, wiped down tables and chairs themselves after a flash rainstorm threw us a wrench, and dealt with every situation as it arose so that I didn't need to. They were both incredibly attentive and warm. My staff greatly enjoyed working with them. I would highly recommend these go-getters to plan your next event. Not only will everything be taken care of for you, but Erika will see to it with a level of precision and professionalism I've only seen a handful of times before. You want this team in your corner!

We had the pleasure of having our ceremony take place at the breathtaking South Church. We are so glad we decided to have our ceremony there because it was a great experience from beginning to end. Jen was AMAZING to work with! She was very attentive and answered all of our questions with no problems. She was also there during the wedding day to make sure everything goes smoothly. We did not have a day of wedding coordinator, but Jen stepped in and helped us throughout our ceremony and coordinated the timing of the wedding party during the processional. The church also has an organ or a piano that can be used. We had an organist play the organ for our wedding and let me tell you.... it was the most beautiful thing I've heard. Definitely goosebumps when I walked down the aisle lol! We are so thankful for Jen and her professionalism! I 100% recommend this venue to anyone looking for a gorgeous church venue! I guarantee you will have such a smooth and easy planning and wedding with Jen by your side!

Vibe Wedding Films

Portsmouth, NH
  • Videographer
  • Documentary style
  • Starts at $3,497

Hey! I’m Nico Zottos, a wedding videographer based out of Portsmouth, New Hampshire. A little about me - I’ve been in the wedding industry for over ten years. I started out playing bass guitar in a wedding band while I was still in high school and I quickly fell in love with everything about weddings. The energy of the day was intoxicating and I knew after witnessing so many different love stories that I wanted to take a more meaningful role in preserving those memories - that’s when I transitioned into filmmaking. Since then I’ve been lucky enough to tell the unique and amazing stories of couples from all across the country.

When I was planning my wedding, I was very overwhelmed by the amount of vendors we had to book but working with Vibe Media was truly our best vendor at our wedding. I would highly recommend them to everyone! The quality of the video was absolutely incredible! It was so beautiful, detailed, and put together masterfully! You could tell that the wedding video shots planned, obtained, and edited were done by true professionals that worked very hard to make our wedding day so special. Vibe Media also got our wedding videos to so quickly! It was so amazing to be able to share with family & friends immediately! 10 out 10 I would recommend them and plan to use them in the future again at other events!

Finding the perfect spot for our rehearsal dinner felt like searching for a hidden gem.

From the moment we stepped into this beautiful downtown building (conveniently close to a parking garage!), we knew it was special. But what truly made the night unforgettable was Michelle, the Function Manager. Michelle was an absolute rockstar! She helped us navigate everything with ease, from handling dietary restrictions to selecting the perfect menu options and ensuring all our needs were met. The entire function team was professional and attentive, making the whole evening flow seamlessly. And let's not forget the food! It was incredible. Our guests raved about everything they tried.

  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style

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 first spoke with April and Jordan, who are the owners of Alba Lumos Photography, we were impressed by their open, honest, and professional communication style.

From our first phone call with them, we knew they were the ones we wanted to photograph our big day, as their style and personalities meshed so well with us. Their work was efficient on our day, photos were received back so quickly, and were breathtakingly beautiful. April and Jordan did the best job at capturing all the most sentimental moments of our special day.

Weddings by Kaileigh, LLC

  • Planner
  • Offers 5 services
  • Starts at $500
  • Serves Portsmouth, NH

Hello! I’m Kaileigh, owner of Weddings by Kaileigh, LLC. I established my business in April 2023, and I have been working diligently to learn as much as I can! I’ve been a teacher for the last 10 years, so planning and coordinating comes naturally to me. I also run the hospitality committee at my school! I have spent time as a travel agent, organizing and planning vacations. I’m also a mom of two amazing, little humans! I love to garden, be outside and go adventuring with my kids. Last year I decided to take a leap of faith and start my next adventure in the wedding planning industry, and got my wedding planning certificate.

Awarded Best of Zola
This one is going to be long because we have so many things to say about this incredible woman. I don’t even know where to start with Kaileigh. We found her on Zola at the early stages of planning and we’re so beyond grateful and thrilled to have had her with us through this journey. She is so incredibly organized, on top of everything, prompt, efficient, kept us on track and so supportive. She is super creative and had so many great ideas that brought our vision to life and made it even better than we imagined. Planning with her was fun, easy and very enjoyable. She was at all of our vendor meetings, asked questions we never thought to ask, and made sure we were happy with everything at every point and was easy to pivot. As we approached our big day, she just continued to blow us away and we felt so much less stress than I think most people probably feel. We knew we were in the best hands with Kaileigh who had our back, knew our vision and who we knew we could count on. Her work can be somewhat chaotic I would imagine, but you’d never be able to tell by looking at her. She is so poised, calm, composed, competent, decisive, efficient, energetic, professional and dynamic. One of my favorite things I noticed working with her is her undeniable joy and love for this industry and what she does. She is in her element and it is clear to anyone who observes her that this is where she belongs. This work fuels her and she invests so much of herself in everything she does. Not only is she so wickedly talented and smart, she is just so kind, sweet, compassionate, funny, lighthearted and just the coolest human. It didn’t take long for us to fall in love with her and just want to be her friend. By the time our rehearsal rolled around, I felt like it was weird that she was just present for the event and not sitting at the table with us! At this point we just considered her our friend and just wanted to hang out and celebrate with her! Going into our wedding day, I felt a sense of calm I never, ever thought I would be able to experience. I’m a person that struggles with anxiety, I feel overwhelmed, I overthink and worry about everything and I was convinced I would be beside myself with stress and anxiety on my wedding day but I was completely fine.. I was calm and was able to enjoy my preparation, spending time with my girls and just relax. That is 1000% thanks to Kaileigh. I knew everything was being handled and I trusted her judgement, abilities and knowledge and that it was going to be amazing… and I was right! Walking into this beautiful venue with all of our visions that came to life right in front of me took my breath away. It was GORGEOUS!! Throughout the night, Kaileigh continued to keep everything running smoothly. I needed her quite a few times for different things and she was never far and always ready for whatever it was. She even helped me out of my wedding dress and into a reception dress in tiny stall with barely enough room for one person, let alone two… which tells you the level of comfort one builds with a person like Kaileigh. It was like my sister or my best friend helping me out. She was everywhere all at once and never broke a sweat. We’ve gotten nothing but absolutely raving compliments on her from our friends and family that attended. Everyone noticed how expertly she put this wedding together and how it all went off so perfectly. We are so thankful for her. Do yourself this favor and book Kaileigh for your most important day.

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!

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.

  • Serves Portsmouth, NH

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!

Awarded Best of Zola
I had such a great experience with Katie creating the flowers for our wedding. She did my bridal bouquet, bridesmaids' bouquets, corsages for family members, and boutonnieres for groom and groomsmen. She was very helpful and knowledgeable with which flowers would look good together and which colors to try. She did such a great job matching the colors to our wedding color palette! The whole process of choosing the flowers, the types of arrangements, and the colors was so fun and stress free. Everything looked amazing, and I'm so excited to have my bouquet to keep forever!

Working with Naomi and her team at Nectar & Vessel was truly an incredible experience. Aside from the marriage itself and celebrating with our loved ones, the floral design was the part of wedding-planning I was most excited about, so finding the right team to make it all happen was really important to me. From our first meeting, it was obvious how warm, talented, creative, professional, and enthusiastic Naomi is - she is so passionate and knowledgeable about what she does, and it really shows in her work. Naomi and her team went above and beyond to distill all of my ideas and wishes into a final cohesive vision that was more beautiful than I could have ever imagined! Everything Naomi and her team created was stunningly executed - from the bouquets, boutonnieres, and the gorgeous chuppah at our ceremony, to the lush arrangements, centerpieces, and hanging greenery at the cocktail hour and reception, to the magical floral clouds that hung over our dance floor. Many guests told me that these were the most beautiful floral designs that they had seen at any wedding they’ve ever been to - I’m still receiving compliments about them months later. We especially appreciated Naomi’s attention to detail (she and her team made little bouquets for guests to take home at the end of the evening that everyone loved), and how conscientious she is about sustainability (she uses reusable vessels for everything and doesn’t use disposable foam products - something that can be hard to come by in the floral industry). Writing this review was challenging because it’s so difficult to find the words to properly convey how beautiful everything was and how grateful we are for Naomi and her team’s work! We wholeheartedly recommend Naomi and her team at Nectar & Vessel to anyone looking for floral design for their wedding or event, and we are so thankful to have had them by our sides on our special day.

I’m Felisha, an Award Winning - Published New England Wedding + Portrait photographer with the honor of capturing love stories and cherished moments across New England since 2013. 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. When I’m not behind the lens, you’ll find me soaking up life with my high school sweetheart, our beautiful daughter, and our two chocolate Labradors. 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!

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!

I had an incredible experience with Jennifer Eleanor Photography. From the moment I reached out, Jennifer’s communication was prompt and clear, which made the whole process smooth and stress-free. Within minutes, I chose her for our wedding. We had many conversations leading up to our wedding where we discussed our vision and the way we’d like to capture our special day. Jennifer was so personable and her essence evoked her love for humanity and just the kindness that lives within her. She arrived early to our ceremony, which immediately put me at ease. She literally got there before me! Major points!! Jennifer was incredibly patient and attentive, especially with my children, who can be a bit tricky to photograph. She made great suggestions to help capture the best moments and was so thoughtful in guiding us throughout the ceremony. Her ability to connect with my kids and make them feel comfortable was impressive. I’m beyond happy with the photos and would highly recommend Jennifer Eleanor Photography to anyone looking for a skilled, professional, and personable photographer. Thank you, Jennifer!

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
We are BEYOND thrilled that we chose Julie to capture our wedding. My wife and I had a destination wedding in Kennebunkport, Maine so choosing vendors was really just based on doing our own research and combing through reviews. From start to finish, everything with Julie was incredible. She really understood what we wanted and that aligned perfectly with her vibrant and candid style. She was so efficient on the day of the wedding as well so we were able to enjoy what we put together. She truly has an amazing eye, book her!

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
I don’t know where to begin! I was hoping to find a photographer who was easy to be around, wouldn’t make us feel stiff and captured the true joys of the day. Jo is your person! She was incredible. We are avid hikers and mountain people and Jo didn’t bat an eye when I asked if she would come over to hike our favorite mountain for sunset/first look photos the Thursday before our wedding. They are the most special photos we have from our wedding and it truly was such an intimate time for us to share together before the big day (my husband, Jo and I all together!) and it made for such an easy transition to working with her on wedding day. Jo captured all the action, often pulling off crazy maneuvers or every laying on the dance floor to get the perfect shots. In the lead up to the wedding she was always available, happy to chat about ideas and really valued what was most important to us. She easily brought on an amazing second photographer as we got closer and picked someone who she truly thought would mesh well with us. I’m not someone who documents much with progressional photography, but I’m truly looking forward to more life events so I can give Jo a call.

Luke beautifully captured our wedding weekend in a video that felt authentic, sincere, and totally joyful. He has a gorgeous artistic style and spectacularly captured the setting of our ceremony — I loved the dynamic perspective he achieved with the drone work. And even though the shots were stunning and truly embodied the momentousness of the occasion, his video still felt welcoming and understated. Luke also had a real gift for catching the little things, making the video feel true to the mood of our celebration. Our wedding was such a whirlwind and it was hard to absorb every minute, so I am grateful that Luke was able to catch all the sweet moments, big and small. It was a true gift to be able to feel totally transported back in time to such an irreplaceable moment in our lives.

Heather at Sparrow Hair Studio has been my stylist for the past seven years or so. I've sung her praises & been a devoted client, but it was even more impressive to see her shine as a wedding vendor! She's the second person I told about my engagement (after BFF & before family). Her "bedside demeanor" during the trial and on the day of with mom & BFF were impeccable. She really knows how to communicate with everyone - to make them feel comfortable, to recognize styles that work for their hair type and personal taste, and to offer suggestions for the day/wear-time/weather/vibe. She's a true professional in every sense of the word. Coordinating with her is incredibly easy, like a touchstone of sanity in the stressful planning time. I could go on & on, but instead, just look at the insane dream-Barbie, gravity-defying ponytail she gave me!! 11/10 - would get divorced & remarried just to have Heather make me feel like a movie star again.

Lauren was by far and away the best thing that happened to our wedding planning process. We hired her as a day-of-coordinator as our venue required one, and she absolutely blew us away with everything she did. We had a 1 hour meeting with her every week for the six weeks leading up to the wedding day, so by the time we got to the day itself, we were confident she knew the details of our event inside and out. Lauren asked all the questions that we never would have thought of, and covered details that we definitely would have overlooked ourselves. She handled communication with our vendors, double checked all our contracts, and helped us navigate some last minute logistical challenges that were stressful for us. She is so calm, and so easy to work with. She helped with setup and breakdown of our decorations, and made sure our gifts and cards were all in a safe spot. During the wedding, she was always right there when I looked for her, and she was watching every detail to make sure everything went off without a hitch. We truly don’t have enough praise for Lauren. She is excellent at her job and will take so much stress off your shoulders, leaving you to find more joy in the planning process and the wedding itself.

And then the morning of, she was willing to get up early to meet me and she did an amazing job. I felt like I looked like myself, but more beautiful!

Beginning with our initial meeting, we immediately clicked with K&K and loved how down to earth, fun, and easy going they are. Their communication was top notch and their photos are even better. They allowed us to bring our dog to our engagement session and they captured our family's love in the most beautiful, authentic way. They were also incredibly accommodating for our wedding day timeline, both arriving early and staying late to document our special day. Because we feel so comfortable with them, their photos have captured our true, genuine love for one another.
