There was not one moment our entire wedding day that these two were not on their feet, snapping away. Every time we look back at our album, we feel like we are right back on Nantucket at our wedding. From start to finish, Rebecca was an absolute pleasure to work with, she made it so easy. She is thorough, reliable, punctual, super sweet, and keeps everything FUN! She knows all the perfect spots around the island for the best light, beaches, etc. A true natural, T H E B E S T!!! . We love Rebecca Love!!!!!!!

The shoot felt really rushed and Ivan never gave us any direction on how to pose to get better shots. I was hopeful that he was getting good photos without posing us and withheld judgement until we got the photos back from him. He sent me around 70 photos from the shoot, which were supposed to be the best shots after he had gone through and retouched them. The photos were all horrible, in more than a dozen my son was crying, several had one of the three of us looking away from the camera, and in a whole series of them my shirt was more than halfway unbuttoned, something Ivan never mentioned to me as he took us between locations to shoot, so none of those pictures he was taking at those locations along the beach would have been usable to begin with. and these were supposed to be the photos he hand selected and retouched! When I told Ivan that we were seriously displeased with the photos he told me he'd usually give a refund for a photoshoot that didn't work out, but not in our case because he thought that a lot of the photos were great.

Kristen was the photographer for my wedding in Oak Bluffs in June 2016. She also did an engagement…read moreshoot with us. I cannot say enough about the beautiful photographs she produced for us. They capture the spirit of the day, all of the lovely personalities of our family and friends, and the beauty of the island so perfectly. Everyone who has seen the photos has been blown away. Those who are knowledgeable about photography have been especially complimentary - Kristen really knows what she's doing! I will treasure the photos forever - there are SO MANY good ones I can't even pick out which ones to print first! What I especially loved about working with Kristen was how easy she was to work with and how comfortable she made the whole thing for us. She met with us a couple times prior to the wedding, and helped us devise a schedule for the day, made note of special photos we wanted, and gave us really helpful info on what to expect. On the day of the wedding, she was a joy to have around, kept us on schedule while still totally letting us do our thing, and was super patient with my occasionally rambunctious wedding party. I really couldn't have asked for anything more. I chose to work with Kristen because I absolutely adored her photos. What I didn't realize was how much of an asset she'd be in so many ways, and how important a role the photographer would play in the day itself and our memories of it. Hiring Kristen is one of the best wedding decisions we made - her work is worth every last penny she charges!!

We scheduled a session with Sarah, the owner, when our son was just a few weeks old. Of course, during the session, the baby wanted to eat again and our toddler wanted to run around. It was chaos but Sarah didn't flinch and got some beautiful photos. Our recent photo shoot was a family shoot on the beach. It was amazing! We got some great posed shots, but Sarah lives up to her calling as a photographer of life. She caputred the kids playing, enjoying the ocean and really stamped the moments in time. She is patient, loves working with kids and goes the extra mile to be sure the photos are amazing! Her rates are reasonable and her talent is amazing!

From our very first introduction call, Maria was kind, thoughtful, and incredibly helpful, walking us through the process and talking through all our options with ease and care. A few months later, we had our engagement session, which was such a fun and memorable experience! Maria was open to all of our ideas, even when that meant hopping onto a sailboat in Newport Harbor (highly recommend)! She made both of us, two camera-shy people, feel totally at ease, and we had a blast. As our wedding approached, Maria created a detailed and organized photo timeline that was incredibly helpful, not just for us, but for all of our vendors. She worked closely with us to understand which moments and shots mattered most, helping us maximize our time on the big day. On the wedding day itself, Maria was nothing short of amazing. She arrived early, captured every moment beautifully, and somehow managed to organize our big families for group photos without a hitch. Because Maria was so well-prepared and in control of the schedule, we were able to relax and truly enjoy our day knowing we were in great hands. One of the most meaningful moments came just before our outdoor ceremony when the weather turned, pouring rain and heavy wind. As venue staff asked me to make a last-minute call about moving the ceremony indoors, I looked to Maria. Her calm, reassuring presence made all the difference. She told me it would be beautiful either way and was ready to shoot rain or shine. We stuck with our outdoor plan, and just in time, the rain cleared for a stunning ceremony and first look. I'll never forget how comforting and reassuring she was in that moment. Shortly after the wedding Maria sent us a sneak peek of our photos, and they are absolutely breathtaking. Our friends and family can't stop talking about how stunning they are. Her style is classic and timeless, yet bright and joyful. We truly couldn't have asked for anything more. If you're looking for a photographer who is talented, kind, organized, and an all-around joy to work with, look no further. We are beyond grateful to Maria for capturing the best day of our lives so beautifully. Book her. You won't regret it.

Since we had already taken care of engagement photos before meeting with Ani, she offered to capture some photos the night before our wedding at our rehearsal dinner. Our family and friends totally fell in love with her. When she needed to (like for our group shots and bridal party photos) she provided direction, but otherwise she just stayed close by and captured the most candid, genuine moments. We are forever grateful to Ani for our gorgeous wedding photos. Even during a pandemic, Ani was flexible and reliable, quickly adjusting her game plan to capture our smaller, more intimate backyard micro-wedding. The photos attached are all Ani's work. She is super friendly, fair-priced, and extremely talented. Thank you Ani!!
