Arlyn and her husband were wonderful to work with. They were super nice and very professional. They responded to all my emails and requests in a timely manner. On the day of the wedding, they were very easy to work with. After the wedding, I was not happy with some of the photos because of how I was posed. They worked with me to choose other photos from their collection and edited many of the photos that I wanted. We went back and forth a lot until I was happy. I felt like they went above and beyond. read more

VIVID LIFE Photography - Event Photography Near Me

Arlyn from Vivid Life did a fantastic job with our family photo shoot. There were 13 of us - three generations, and two 2 year olds. She was terrific with everyone. We were able to get all the photos that we wanted and everyone was very happy with the great shots. All of us would highly recommend Arlyn at Vivid Life. Pamela R. read more

So happy with the photos that were taken at Vivid Life- we were so happy to get squeezed in on such short notice- I would highly recommend them for your portraits. Thank You Vivid Life For the beautiful pictures. read more

Vivid Life Photography all. the. way. My husband and I had the BEST experience with this wedding photography team. From the very beginning, we clicked with their style. Arlyn and Jovan's professionalism and values shined bright throughout the entire process and we are so grateful for the experience they brought to the table in documenting this very special day for us. Very easy to communicate with, Arlyn was our main point of contact leading up to the wedding. She shot our engagement pictures and consulted on our photography "must haves". Both Arlyn and Jovan were fantastic photographers. They took their time, searched for the right shot, and were very encouraging with their results. They were respectful of our decisions (conducting a first look, rainy outdoor shots, etc.) and checked in with us throughout the day to be sure they captured all the moments we had planned for. My husband is not a fan of having his photo taken but their easy style made him feel at ease and by the end of the night, he was cheesing it up for the cameras. Our "sneak peeks" from the big day were seemingly ready in no time. Turn around on the full package of photos was equally speedy. They give you access to your prints both online and digital storage with unlimited printing rights on the digital images. Their pricing is very reasonable and the quality of their work is phenomenal. Choose Vivid Life Photography for your big day!! Their work is so beautiful. Wonderful memories documented for a lifetime. read more

HIGHLY RECOMMEND Jovan! Booked him for a last minute client request ans he bent over backwards to assist us AND did an outstanding job! Proofs were provided with a day ans finals in 2 hours (upon, again (!) a last minute request). Fantastic and couldn't recommend more! read more

Arlyn did my maternity photoshoot and my baby's newborn photoshoot and I must say she is such a pleasure to work with. She is professional, punctual, understanding, friendly and the pictures came out exactly as I wanted! For my maternity shoot, she provided great direction in terms of the shots she thought would look great and did a great job of shooting the poses I had requested. For the newborn shoot, I was blown away by how amazing she was with the baby. We even learned some tricks from her on calming a crying/fussy baby!! She promised a two week turnover and I promptly received the final downloadable images in 2 weeks! I HIGHLY recommend Arlyn if you're looking for a photographer in MA! read more

We found Vivid Life Experience posting through a Facebook group as I was backing out of having a very good friend take our photos. Arlyn and I connected and I loved her samples and the professionalism she showed, I was super glad she was able to squeeze us in even quite late in the wedding season (end of June 2019). I like how she was very organized and knew what shots to take, but also how to work with the bridal party - our groomsmen were very playful while my bridesmaids and I were more reserved to be sure! Arlyn was able to recommend a lovely spot, Bird Pond, to take pictures at near my wedding venue in Walpole. This definitely made our pictures much nicer with all the lovely greenery and was something I was hesitant to do because of scheduling but was the right choice. Very unfortunately, our photography time got cut short because of delays on my side keeping track of the bridal party (yikes). One of the things I most regret and hope to spare any bride reading this is to definitely no matter what, make more time for your family photos, especially when they have flown out to see you on such as special occasion. Those are the pictures you will look back on for decades. Also very unfortunately, my mom passed away unexpectedly a month after our wedding. I was grateful Arlyn was able to very quickly and compassionately offer photos of my mom at our wedding (usually it takes quite some time to edit and would not expect back) that we were able to show other friends and family, some of those last pictures and with her smiling so brightly. There would never be enough photos, but I wish of course now in hindsight that we had more, especially the candids. I think Arlyn and the team did a great job capturing all the little wedding details, making us look beautiful, and capturing the emotions of the day. I loved her vivid colors and she stayed true to the style I admired. My dress accidentally got stuck to my jeweled belt at one point, and Arlyn noticed and fixed it for me. There were some great pictures where it was stuck, Arlyn was kind enough to photoshop that part so that it was not noticeable when I asked her to (some people might not care, but I really wanted it). If there was any criticism, is I think I'm able to see which ones Arlyn took vs the second shooter, as the quality and lighting seems different in some of the shots especially indoors. If I could do it all over again, I'd prioritize more staged photo time, ask for family candids (probably show photos beforehand so they know who), and I would have done the engagement session to also get more comfortable (we had some from previous photographer). I think the loss of 45 minutes affected the photos we received, but something will always go wrong. Now that it has been almost a year and with some time, the regrets have faded and I'm glad we had a lot of great moments captured. I also had a talented videography that I'm glad we splurged on, so no regrets. Vivid Life Experience is a great choice if you want to be able to relax on your wedding day and know that you are in the hands of a pro. They were very accommodating and professional through out, and delivered at tremendous value for us. read more

Arlyn & Jovan were amazing to work with! My husband and I had to change our wedding plans numerous times due to covid and Vivid Life was extremely understanding, flexible and helpful! All our pictures turned out beautifully. We already have plans on doing some other shoots with Vivid Life and would recommend them to anyone looking for photographers! read more

Arlyn and Jovan came over to our residence for a photoshoot of our 3 month old. Arlyn made it a point to check in a couple days prior to the shoot about props, costumes etc. On the day of the shoot, our son was very cranky half way through but both Arlyn and Jovan were very patient and even played with our baby to make sure we got our best and most candid shots. The pictures we received were absolutely phenomenal and a memory to treasure for the rest of our lives. If you are looking for top quality photos at an affordable price in Boston then you have found THE PLACE for it - I'm definitely a repeat customer! read more

Arlyn and Jovan from Vivid Life Photography were absolutely incredible photographers for our October wedding at Oceanview of Nahant! They made the planning process super easy (one initial phone consultation and one planning phone call before the wedding) and we appreciated their straightforward and reasonable pricing. The day of our wedding they were complete experts at capturing all the perfect moments. The two of them work so well together and they were simply wonderful people to have at our wedding! They went above and beyond to make our wedding the perfect day and we were so thankful to have them. Would recommend to anyone having a New England wedding! read more

Arlyn took our family photos and it was a great experience. The pictures came out fantastic. I will definitely use Vivid Life again whenever we need a photographer. read more

Soooo we have used Vivid Life Photography now twice for our annual birthday pictures from our son. So I'll start with the first time. I was looking for someone to take 1st birthday pics for our son. It was his first birthday after being born early and being in the NICU. We wanted the pictures to tell a story. To talk about what he overcame in a year and how in love we were with him. So we contacted Arlyn (co-owner) and explained our vision. We wanted someone to know our story and to photograph this moment with that in mind. Well we were NOT disappointed. They were the perfect mixture of New England fall backdrop and cry your eyes out preemie success story. We used those pictures on everything and gave them to everyone. We knew right away we would do the same thing every year. This year (2020) we signed up for a mini shoot. During these uncertain times we wanted to keep some kind of tradition. Vivid life once again did not disappoint. She was safe! Kept her distance but yet still orchestrated an amazing photo shoot (not to mention it was kinda cold outside). This year our now toddler was not as cooperative. Arlyn was patient. She played peek-a-boo with him until he felt comfortable. She brought props and had us in and out with some great shots. We are thankful for them for capturing our family. Get you a photographer who listens to your story, makes you feel valuable and captures that in a photo. read more

Arlyn was great to work with! We did a newborn photo shoot. She was responsive, did pictures at my house, and was great at calming my 1 week old! Pictures came out great and for a reasonable price in comparison to other options out there. read more

Arlyn was an absolute pleasure to work with! We've had bad experiences with photographers in the past phoning it in and delaying their photos. Nothing like that this time! Before the shoot, Arlyn gave us advice about good spots to meet our wishes and the best times of days and clothes that would achieve the right look. At the shoot, she was patient and paid attention to detail. She would reshoot the pose if the sun wasn't just right or our clothes needed to be adjusted. Afterwards, her photo turnaround was super fast. Despite having a family emergency, she still made herself available and did not allow it to delay the photos getting to us in time. All this and her prices were WAY more affordable than other maternity shoot photographers in the area. I would definitely work with her again! read more

I have watched this business grow over the years and finally experienced the awesomeness for myself. From start to finish, our photo shoot was on point. The photographer knew what to do at every moment and guided us so that we would get the best photos. I am mega excited at the quality, positioning, and editing of each photo. Thank you for making my Mother's Day a memorable one. read more

I cannot recommend Arlyn and Joven strongly enough. They fitted us in - with great effort on their part - around the holiday season. Five star service for the following reasons: 1. Their prices are very reasonable. 2. Coming to our home made it convenient for us with a newborn. 3. Excellent communication before and after the service via email. 4. Fabulous photographs incorporating our dog and one set of grandparents! 5. All round professionals and very nice people! Many thanks Arlyn and Joven :) read more

I can't say enough about Arlyn and Jovan. They were wonderful to work with for my son's newborn photos. From answering my many questions prior to even signing the contract to being incredibly responsive with all communications, they are by far the most professional group of photographers I have had the pleasure of working with. They took wonderful pictures that came out just perfect and they worked with us on some poses that we wanted to try. Both Arlyn and Jovan were fantastic with our son and helped to sooth him and calm him down during the photo shoot. Another plus for a new mom is they travel to your home for the newborn photo shoot - because getting your 10 day old in a car is the last thing you want to do! They had several proofs available within a few days and all of the photos were available in just two weeks! Overall I'm very pleased with their work and I would highly recommend them! read more

We worked with Arlyn for our son's newborn photos as well as his 3 month, 6 month, 9 month, and 1 year milestones and she is AWESOME. She's responsive, accommodating, and really easy to work with. She's excellent with kids and captured the perfect moments. Her prices are very reasonable compared to other professional photographers. If we have another newborn, we'll definitely give her a call. read more

I used Vivid Life for my son's newborn photos and could not be happier. I chose Vivid Life after researching many photographers and getting many quotes. After reading the great reviews, I went with Vivid Life. I could not have been happier! Arlyn is incredible to work with and the photos came out fantastic. The price was extremely reasonable and I received my final photos in a very short time! Arlyn is easy to schedule appointments with and has a true gift of working with newborns! I even learned a few calming techniques from the session. I highly recommend Vivid Life and look forward to working with Arlyn and Vivid Life for future photo needs! read more

Great experience. Arlyn and Jovan came to our home for newborn photos. They were both excellent with our little girl and captured her in photos beautifully. We were delighted with the photos. Highly responsive and very easy to work with from beginning to end. read more

Looking for great quality but also an amazing deal on a photo shoot and don't want to break the bank? Look no further! Seriously, look NO FURTHER! I heard about Arlyn and Jovan on the "What to Expect" app. I had reached out to many photographers before contacting them and was extremely overwhelmed at the prices I was told by other companies. I just couldn't bring myself and my fiancé to pay almost $1000 for maternity photos. I was already super self conscious with my big pregnant belly and did not want to dish out that amount of money for someone to uncomfortably document it! But luckily, someone mentioned Vivid Life on an online thread and I could not have made a better decision! You absolutely cannot beat their prices and work quality, especially for being in the Boston area. They had an amazing maternity/newborn package that no one can beat! Their price was literally less than 1/3 of what I had been previously quoted by others. So crazy! We've had 3 shoots with them within the past year and a half and have left happy every time, and our pictures came out gorgeous! They are super talented, professional, patient, and just have a way of making you feel instantly comfortable. I will ALWAYS recommend these two :) Arlyn and Jovan, you guys are the real MVPs! read more

Arlyn was such a joy to work with. I had my maternity and newborn photoshoot done with her and it was a seamless experience. I highly recommend her. read more

Would highly recommend Vivid Life. I called to book a last minute newborn session and spoke with Arlyn and she could not have been any nicer and accommodating. Along with being so personable she takes gorgeous pictures and is so gentle, calming and motherly with the babies. Quick turnaround and very reasonable pricing. Will definitely use again and recommend to others. read more

Vivid Life recently took newborn photos of our son and we could not be happier with the experience! We had almost given up on having professional newborn photos taken because of the cost. We then found Vivid Life, whose price fit into our budget and package of digital files was exactly what we were looking for. The owners, Jovan and Arlyn, were easy to communicate with before and after the shoot. During the shoot, they put us at ease, were warm and endearing with our son, factored in time for him to eat, and made sure to get any poses and outfits we wanted along with offering their own suggestions. They have a nice supply of wraps, outfits, and hats to put the baby in. We are thrilled with the final images and will cherish the photos for many years to come. Thank you, Jovan and Arlyn! We look forward to having you capture more milestones in our family! read more

After searching for a newborn photographer and being deterred by outrageously high costs, we are so happy we found Arlyn and Jovan for our newborn photos. They captured our newborn beautifully, and you could tell by how sweet and gentle they were that they truly love babies. The pictures came out amazing! Arlyn and Jovan are responsive, friendly, fun, and professional, and they truly care about the outcome of their work and making sure their clients are satisfied. I would not hesitate to use them again and highly recommend them!! read more
