We got a small carrot cake, three types of cupcakes, and whoopie pies for our wedding and it was all phenomenal. Our guests were raving about the cupcakes. We had vegan and GF options for our guests and everything came labeled accordingly. We had such a good time at our tasting... We loved everything we tried so it was hard to narrow down what we wanted! Liz was communicative with us and we were able to pay through Venmo which was really convenient too.

HannahCate Photography

Durham, NH
  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,500

Hi! I'm Hannah. I'm a wedding photographer of 8 years, a wife, and an occupational therapist. I have always loved stories.​ Your relationship is a fun, unique story unlike anyone else's, so your photography should reflect that. When I work with you, my goal is to capture your personalities, passions, and relationship styles. For this reason, sessions with me are fairly relaxed-- I like to give you time to be yourself and interact, which showcases your unique quirks, #relationshipgoals, and ways of loving each other.

Awarded Best of Zola
I had the honor of DJing the wedding of Hannah's sister some years back and was amazed to see that not only was she a Bridesmaid, but also, the principle photographer! Talk about multitasking! One of her photos from that very wedding has graced my website for years! After seeing her photos from that wedding, it was abundantly evident her level of talent! Hannah was an absolute JOY to work with and her easy-going, yet determined "to get that perfect shot" presence is what makes her stand above the crowd. From a fellow vendor's perspective, she is the ideal vendor! She is hard-working, loyal, creative, caring, and a master of her craft! She works diligently with her clients to achieve and exceed all expectations. On a personal note: fast-forward a few years, I had the honor of DJing HER wedding (she didn't do double-duty as the photographer for this event - after all, as the Bride, I think she deserved a day off!), and it was spectacular! In this business, vendors often "come and go" - but you see them around enough that they become "acquaintances"... of course, I could always recommend the services of an "acquaintance"; however, I'd much rather recommend the services of a fellow vendor that I can actually call "my friend". Don't hesitate, go with HannahCate!

Emery Farm Stays was a pleasure to work with as a wedding planner.

The owner was on site throughout the process, helping with vendor deliveries and ensuring everything ran smoothly — from parking to sound and everything in between. The farm itself is a beautiful setting with dedicated spaces for the ceremony, cocktail hour, and dinner and dancing.

My husband and I are eternally grateful for the Red Barn and their staff. From the beginning, Nicole was extremely attentive and answered all of our questions when booking the venue. One of the main reasons we picked the Red Barn was because of its natural beauty inside and out. The wood finishes and landscaping are the perfect backdrop to any wedding, which allows you to decorate as much or as little as you want. We worked with Rachel in the last 3 months before the big day and could not have asked for a better day of coordinator. She made us feel so calm and heard throughout the process. She was open and excited about all of our ideas. Her and the staff made our decorations and personal touches look better than we could have imagined when we arrived on wedding day. The food, drinks and atmosphere were amazing, as well. The Red Barn made things feel so easy on the most important day of our lives. We will cherish these memories for years to come!

The way they edited our wedding film blew my mind. It’s like watching a love story on Netflix the music, the transitions, the way they timed everything. I’ve seen it probably 15 times and I still cry. And our friends were all like “who did this??” because it’s so cinematic

Justing was a fantastic DJ! We gave him a short list of must-plays then let him do the rest, and he was great at reading the room and playing what the people wanted. He took requests from guests if they fit the vibe and was totally okay saying no too which is exactly what we wanted. We even had some guests asking for his playlist before the night was over. He brought tons of speakers and lights, and even some wireless speakers to play the same music in multiple rooms, including outside on the deck for cocktail hour. Everything went off without a hitch. We also got the photo booth add-on which ended up getting a ton of use and people loved it. Sawyer was manning the booth and 5 stars to him as well!

My husband and I got married at Granite Rose on October 12th, and we’re still talking about how it was truly the wedding of our dreams. From the moment we first saw the venue (that chandelier sealed the deal!), we knew it was where we wanted to celebrate our day. Every meeting with the team felt fun and upbeat, which made the whole planning process so much easier and genuinely enjoyable. Huge shoutout to Briana, Lily, Anna, and Jillian for supporting us through everything and keeping us on track. Our banquet captain that night, Kerri, made sure our guests were taken care of, and we heard so many compliments about the food and service. Chef Jim, Sous Chef Corey, and their awesome servers, Michael, Phil, and Elijah, really did an amazing job. We also have to rave about our bartender, Mariah. She was hilarious, kind, and just so good at what she does. She added such a fun energy to the night and made it even more special for us and our guests. Can't forget to thank Susanne's Weddings for the amazing floral arrangements and Jacques Pastry Shop for the delicious and perfect wedding cake! I'll let the pictures speak for themselves!

Alba Lumos Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (24 reviews)
  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,600
  • Serves Durham, NH

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
Highly recommend April and her husband (aka second shooter), Jordan, for your wedding/engagement/event of any sort! They both made us incredibly comfortable - even when we were a little camera shy. We're absolutely in love with our entire wedding album! They scoped out the venue when they arrived and had a clear plan to get the best shots. Their experience, combined with their relaxed nature and natural energy, made taking all of our pictures a breeze! April's commitment is also next-level, getting knee deep in the lake at our venue to facilitate one of the best shots of our wedding. Can't recommend Alba Lumos enough!!

It's been so hard to find the words to capture how much we loved working with Felisha - she is THAT good! Her work is incredible and our wedding photos are ones that we will cherish forever. She captured every moment big and small - and we notice new details or expressions on our guests' faces each time we look through our album. It's so meaningful to have these memories captured on both digital and film for us to reflect on for the rest of our lives and to share with others. Not only is her work amazing - but she is truly an amazing person as well! From the moment we first spoke on the phone for our consult, I knew she needed to be a part of our day and that she would give it the care and attention we were looking for. That feeling was only cemented at our engagement shoot and then of course on our wedding day. She made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera and helped us bring our best selves forward. We're so thankful for her and cannot recommend her enough!!

I learned of this place from a local source, and my husband and I were excited to get married at this gem in Barrington. Karen was responsive and lovely to work with, giving us contact information for vendors who had worked with the Barn before, and making sure that her sons moved tables and chairs around for us. Their existing furniture saved time and money, so it was super convenient. It is important to note that if you do choose this venue, there is no heating or cooling in the barn, and there is no existing bathroom; we got married in the middle of October and though it was chilly outdoors, the barn itself was fairly warm. We rented a bathroom trailer, which had a perfect spot just outside the venue and it wasn't a problem at all. Overall, the peach farm is a gorgeous place to get married!

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.

Julie K. Gray Photography was absolutely wonderful to work with for our wedding! From the very first interaction, Julie and her team were so kind, warm, and funny, making the entire process easy and enjoyable. Their communication was fantastic, and they truly went above and beyond to ensure our photos captured all the special moments of our big day. The quality of their work is amazing - the photos are beautiful, diligent, and incredibly creative. Julie was fantastic at making posing for photos fun and natural, and our final photos came out even more stunning than we could have imagined.

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.

Seriously the best makeup artist of all time. I am so incredibly happy that Maekalah did our makeup for my June 2025 wedding at Lareau Farm Inn in Vermont. From the trial to the wedding day, she crushed it and somehow made everything even better than the inspo pics I shared. She is truly the best person to spend a wedding morning with. Her funny and sweet commentary kept me calm when it would have been so easy to stress. My trial was SO good that one of my bridesmaids, who wasn’t planning on getting makeup, changed her mind and booked with her. Then on the wedding day, my makeup was obviously fire, so another bridesmaid decided on the spot to get her makeup done too. Maekalah was so flexible and made it all work seamlessly. She made each of us feel gorgeous, confident, and so special. On top of being insanely talented, I feel like we became real friends through the process, which made the experience even more fun. Love, love, LOVE her. Thank you Maekalah, you are truly the best New England makeup artist and I cannot recommend you enough!

Kevin helped with audio for our ceremony, before doing music and speeches at our cocktail hour and reception. We requested a high energy dancefloor, with classics from all decades to get everyone on their feet, and wanted to have an insane dance party with our friends and family. He killed it. The energy on the dancefloor was impeccable, and Kevin delivered our vision PERFECTLY. He was so professional, but fun, and everything went very smoothly, no hiccups, no complaints. I would absolutlely, 100% recommend Kevin, and Main Event Entertainment, for anyone looking for a DJ for a wedding or event. You will not be disappointed.

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!

Kate was incredible to work with!! She literally made all of my wedding flower dreams come true! And a year later when a couple flowers in my bouquet got ruined (during our move) she fixed it for me without hesitation! So kind, very cost friendly, and SO TALENTED!!!

Where do I start? From the very beginning Kim and her team at Hyla Brook Estate were always nice and answered all questions even if I asked soo many!! They had made wedding day smooth even though we were a little crazy. From the table setups, to the small things that had to be changed last minute. They just absolutely killed it, the venue is stunning, the team members are absolutely wonderful. I have zero complaints! They are pros no matter what you throw at them. They created my wedding day welcome mirror, they have an amazing something borrowed collection, amazing makeup/hair room, so many photo locations on site, they coordinated well with my vendors, literally nothing went wrong on my wedding day! Just felt amazing! I would recommend them OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN! No regrets! Thank you Kim & her team !

I’m a New Hampshire wedding photographer, who specializes in candid, natural wedding photography, serving all of New England for over fifteen years. Almost all of my couples come to me saying that they feel weird in front of the camera and worried about how their photos will turn out. But of course they want those gorgeous, Pinterest-worthy shots! My laid-back attitude will help put you at ease, helping your true personalities shine through (with simple and fun guidance for the posed photos). And my quiet and calm nature makes it easy for me to blend into the background, to get tons of candid photos that you will make you laugh and cry.

If we were to go back and do this whole thing over again, we would choose Brett every time. She did an amazing job capturing our wedding day. Easy to work with, very calm, and extremely talented, plus lots of personal touches throughout the process. Highly recommend to anyone planning their wedding.

Johanna Sorrell Photography

  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style

  • Serves Durham, NH

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.

Johanna Sorrell was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding. We were so lucky to be connected with Jo so early on in our planning process. The best advice we got was to pick a photographer we felt connected to since we would be spending by far the most amount of time with them on our wedding day. I didn't want my wedding to feel like a photoshoot. Once the ceremony was over I just wanted to enjoy myself. She really honored that request. Jo was so invested in our wedding. From our very first interaction, Johanna was efficient, attentive, and timely in communication, often providing long and thoughtful responses to our many questions. We chatted on the phone, had zoom calls, and met in person prior to the big day. She really wanted to make sure she understood our vision. We were lucky enough to get to do our engagement photos last summer with Jo. When I say she was lying in the middle of the street while we were driving at her on a vespa.. I mean it. See photos below. She will do anything for the shot. We wanted our photos to be extremely vibrant which as you can tell she clearly captured! She can also really organize the obnoxious family members and tell them where and how to be. Her work was incredibly thorough, and she was able to capture all the special moments of our day quickly and seamlessly. We got a sneak peak back within days of the wedding! We got all the photos back within weeks which shocked us! She is such a hard worker. Johanna truly made us feel so calm and seen on our wedding day - we now consider her a dear friend. The value and quality of her services far exceeded our expectations, and we cannot recommend her highly enough.
