The wedding ceremony pics were perfect, and she got some excellent photos of the bridal party all together, we struggled a bit wrangling our huge family and rowdy bridal party, but she persevered and those pictures are beautiful. There were a few hiccups the day of, but that is to be expected with a large event and Heather handled them with grace. I highly recommend discussing exactly which photos are most important a few days before the wedding (family formations etc.) as that was very helpful and I was happy to let her handle all of those details the day of. Heather was able to provide me with most of the photos within 2 weeks of the ceremony and even shared all 676 of them with me online. My wedding album is full of joyous and happy memories and I would not have any of it without her incredible talent! Hire her for your next big event or photo shoot, you won't regret it!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE Angela Greenlaw's photography!…read more I haven't stopped recommending her photography services since the day I was married. I've been involved in a few weddings, and my thoughts about the pictures have always been "eh...there ok", I've also noticed that during the whole "picture taking time", everyone is cranky and just wants to get it over with. My husband and I first chose Angela because she made an effort to come to our house to interview with us on a weeknight (she lives almost 2hrs away) and because she was very friendly and super sweet. She showed us all of her equipment, went over her website with us, and she even went over HER favorite photographer's website to show us the kind of work she is inspired by and emulates. We are glad we chose her because not only did she show up on time the day of our wedding, she was fantastic at giving tips and suggestions to me (non picture related) while I was getting ready and she had a way of putting me at ease. I hardly knew she was there all day and she made sure to get all the shots that I asked for and some that I didn't but ended up loving. She was even able to get great pictures of people that I haven't seen stop and pose for a picture EVER. She was young and fun, and she made sure the portrait pictures that everyone finds insufferable, were done in a fast and efficient manner. The other reason we really liked her was that she had a very photojournalistic approach to her photography. While she was very aware of the desire for regular posed portraits, she made sure to capture a lot of the little "moments" that make the most memorable and treasured pictures. On top of all that, she was very reasonably priced and was willing to work with us on the different packages that she had available, mixing and matching what we wanted and needed with our budget. She also travels all over NE, and is willing to do destination weddings if her schedule allows. The only negative thing I could possibly say about her, which isn't really negative was that she uses pictage.com to post your pictures on after for an online proof viewing. She passed around a sheet at the wedding for guests to put their email on it and they would be sent a link to the pictures. I just wish she would have let me seen the website BEFORE everyone else, that way I could make some of the photo's private if I didn't like the way I looked or the way something came out, but other than that I think it's a great idea that the guests can see all the professional ones without having to pay for them. Can you find us on her website?

The single best decision my husband and I made while planning our wedding was hiring Angela…read moreGreenlaw as our photographer. Like most brides, my wedding day consisted of a whirlwind of activity, laughter, lots of love and mixture of MANY emotions. I was, to put it lightly, feeling very overwhelmed, anxious and self-conscious about how I looked in my dress. That was until Angela Greenlaw, our wedding photographer, arrived (early) to set up, introduce herself to the wedding party and take a few "pre-ceremony" pictures of me in my wedding dress on the terrace. I left that terrace free of anxiety, and for the first time in a long time, I felt beautiful. Simply put, Angela made me FEEL beautiful. The pictures that Angela took at our wedding are not just images of a wedding celebration. Her photos tell our love story, portray the essence of our wedding day and evoke emotion within every single person who looks at them. Angela went ABOVE and BEYOND the call of duty; capturing every moment of our wedding in a distinct, creative and uniquely poetic fashion. My husband and I got married on Cape Cod as the summer came to a close. Due to the number of guests that attended our wedding, we decided to have the ceremony on the front lawn of the resort despite the close proximity to the beach. As the ceremony wrapped up I couldn't help but notice the gorgeous sunset on the horizon. I thought to myself, "It's such a shame we didn't arrange to take any pictures on the beach after the ceremony. We are on Cape Cod after all". I was bummed but I didn't expect anyone, let alone our photographer decked out in equipment, to trek ALL the way down to the beach just to capture a few pictures of the Cape Cod sunset. Well, I had clearly underestimated Angela's dedication and love of her job. She caught my eye, looked up at the sky and said to me and my husband, "Crazy idea guys, I know you were planning on heading to the cocktail hour after the ceremony but the sunset is so gorgeous...would you possibly want to head down to the beach to get a few sunset shots?" Just one of the MANY reasons why Angela is so awesome. Now picture this; a bride in her wedding dress, a groom in his tuxedo, a videographer and two photographers with all of their gear RUNNING to catch the perfect sunset picture on the beach. I'm not kidding, we actually RAN to the beach. FYI - Angela also possesses the rare ability to run while simultaneously taking amazing photos. YEP, she's THAT good. Not only did we make it to the beach, we made it there JUST in time to catch the most breathtakingly beautiful sunset I have ever seen. Everything was perfect; the lighting, the water, my husband... the list continues. It was there, on the beach, that I realized how truly blessed my husband and I were to have Angela as our wedding photographer. Her unique ability to capture the beauty of the sunset while simultaneously portraying the raw emotions that my husband and I were feeling is the most precious gift anyone has ever, and most likely will ever, give us. Angela not only met our expectations, she far exceeded them with her exceptionally high quality of work, personability, professionalism and love of what she does. She is not just a photographer. She is not just a GOOD photographer. Angela is an organized, innovative and masterful artist with the phenomenal ability to capture and evoke emotion from every single person she photographs and within anyone that is lucky enough to view her outstanding work. Angela, my husband and I will forever be indebted to you for your exceptional and distinctive contribution to our wedding. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Love always, Kellen & Laila Shain

His easygoing and responsive nature made the entire planning process smooth and enjoyable. Whenever we had a question, Neil was always there, ready with an answer.

COVID-19 Wedding We…read morefell in love and booked this venue a year in advance. Due to COVID-19 restrictions put in place by The Governor Charlie Baker we were unable to hold our wedding as stated in the contract, a contract that we had paid in full. We had to forgo our wedding becuase of the Pandemic and ALL of our vendors except Mill 1 refunded us and were extremely gracious. The owner believed that he was not in breach of contract even though we paid for a space for 50+ guests, a dance floor, & a bar which due to COVID-19 he was unable to provide any of those things. its NO ONES fault that these restrictions were put in place it just comes down to being able to provide what was paid for. None of us would have thought a year ago that we would be "social distancing" and wearing face masks everywhere we go. The owner stopped replying to emails after we asked him straight up (so he would simple have to say YES, he can provide us with was was in the contract or NO, he cannot. ) We had to get our lawyer to reach out and inform the owner that he was in fact in breach of the contract & that further action will be taken if he continues to refuse to return our money. Of course the morning after our lawyer was in touch with him we got an email back from John. This time stating that we could have our wedding at Mill 1 BUT with only 25 people inside or with 100 people outside at another location outside the building of Mill 1 (which by the time our wedding date came around was no longer allowed in MA due to further restrictions put into place). But that is simply thats not what we paid for and were promised by our conrtact that we had signed and paid in full. We paid for the gorgeous building and the ambiance it provides. Not something out in the parking lot with less than half the guests we wanted. John would still not address the fact that we couldnt have a dance floor or a bar. He told our lawyer that he would give us half of our money back but only if we signed an NDA (non-disclosure act) so we couldnt inform the public on how he chooses to run his business no less how he chooses to treat consumers during a PANDEMIC. Our lawyer asked him for that in writing...we never got it. Spoke to our lawyer today (7/29/2020) and we have to formally sue the venue, John Aubin had no response to the letter our lawyer sent over on 7/21/2020. Today is 9/8/2020 and yesterday we finally recieved some kind of correspondance with the venue. We got an email from Regina (event coordinator) asking us if we would be using the space on 9/12/2020 for our wedding. Our attorney reached out to the venues owner John Aubin on 9/5/2020 to inform him that we would be continuing with our choice to not modify our wedding that we had paid in full for & that he could reach out at any time prior to discuss options but either way we would be continuing with legal action against Mill 1. We got no response from him. The email from Regina was fowarded by us to our attorney who kindly informed her of where we stood on the matter. Please note that Regina also mentioned that we needed to respond to her by 9/8/2021 (yes, she said 2021 obviously meaning 2020) so they decided to reach out at 1am, on a Holiday weekend, only 5 days prior to our original wedding date, and give us 1 day to respond, ONLY after the owner recieved notice that we would be persuing further legal action, coincidence? We dont think so either. Today is Monday, 9/14/2020 - our wedding was supposed to be a few days ago, no word from venue. Today is 12/30/2021- Yes, the end of 2021. We haven't heard a thing from John Aubin BUT we got an official court date today. We will see him in court January 26th 2022. Today is 1/26/2022 - Court was cancelled DUE TO COVID (ironic isn't it?) 4/13/2023 TWENTY TWENTY THREE- we've been to multiple court dates and John's tactics have works, we're exhausted new parents and we can't do it anymore ‍ anyways, a word of caution, stay away. We've spoken to SEVERAL other couples who have also had to sue the venue and WON (they got their money back thank goodness)
