He provided an amazing teaser, highlight video, and full documentary film of our wedding. He is skilled, talented, and incredibly professional! He met with us beforehand to square away details and made the process smooth and easy! Kern has a depth of knowledge and talent! He's the first vendor I'm recommending to family and friends! I'm so grateful to have worked with him and cannot recommend him enough for your wedding. His artistic style, as proof from his work, speaks for itself. I cannot thank Kern enough for the amazing work that he did to capture our special day!

Kern Nedd is a talented videographer, terrific to work with in every way. I sought proposals from…read moreseveral firms to video a one-time event. Kern stood out from the start. He suggested we talk on the phone, explained the process, costs, and what he would deliver. He answered all of my questions, arrived at the site well ahead of our start-time, set everything up in advance, remained in the background throughout, and then downloaded the files to my own computer directly after the event. The quality of his video is well beyond my expectations; I can zoom into details without any loss of resolution. Kern is professional, pleasant, and creative. You will be glad that you hired him.

I absolutely LOVE the Feds. We used them for our wedding photography and they have exceeded my…read moreexpectations every time I interacted with them. We got to know them when they did our "Love Shoot" which they offered for free with our package. It was a great way to get to know them so we felt comfortable on the big day. James and Kate are high school sweethearts who are SO much fun to be around. We had a blast with them for the few hours we were shooting around the city. The pics from the love shoot turned out SO amazing - and mind you I was SICK that day so if you can make me look GOOD when I'm really feeling TERRIBLE then you get double props from me - but the pics were so amazing that I couldn't wait for our wedding day and to see the pictures from the wedding day. I knew they would do an AWESOME job of capturing everything for me - which is saying something because I'm photo-addicted. I think i took like 2000 pictures during our honeymoon - MAYBE more! So I'm big on pictures. I haven't seen my proofs yet (but they will be ready soon!!), but here's something I've never seen done before and I LOVED IT. The Feds did some quick edits from before the reception (getting ready, bridal party pics, etc) and had them on a slide show during the reception. Every picture I saw on the slide show was amazing. I'm not kidding you - I stood there and each one that came up I was like OMG I love that one! Every. Single. Time. I can't recommend them enough. They are fantastic.

Most of you who are reading this are looking for a photographer and have no idea why one is better…read morethan the other. We had no clue what to look for, but a stack of contacts from Newbury Street that was given by friends of ours. We wanted contemporary work; our parents wanted the normal family shots. We wanted art; our parents wanted conservative shots. With The Feds you will get the best of each world. We were astonished how many different aspects they caught of our wedding. There wasnt anyone that didnt say "wow", "amazing", "astonishing", "unreal", "who did your pictures?", "that should be in a magazine". And that was only for some of our highlight pictures! We just cant wait to show them the other 600+! Lets start from the beginning: Part of the package that they do is called a "love shoot". They will travel wherever you would like around the area and take pre wedding engagement pictures. Dont waste your time trying to say you dont need it, because that in itself was worth the investment. We cant tell you how much fun we had getting to know them! We are not people that enjoy having our pictures taken either, and we were nervous before the shoot. James and Kate changed that within seconds of showing up. 100 pictures later (which takes about 10 minutes by the way that they shoot; think Hollywood red carpet...)and we were laughing together and smiling like we had known them since we were kids. We must have been shooting for 4 hours and now have the best pre wedding pictures a couple could ask for. An amazing experience... more on this later in review... But it doesnt end there... We didnt know what to expect when they showed up the day of the wedding. But when we say professional, we mean professional. Both dressed in black, and both decked out like Rambo with camera gear. They were covering every angle, view, and person while being invisible, yet interactive during the ceremony. When we arrived to the reception they immediately kicked into family and bridal party picture mode. We thought it might take an hour just to bang through all the normal pics, but The Feds orchestrated each picture like Holtz's Planets and we were on to bride and groom pictures in no time. Ahh yes, now comes the fun. Next thing we know Kate is driving a golf cart with James holding on for dear life snapping shots as we drove down the 18th fairway at Worcester Country Club. Kate was always looking around for a new location, a different angle, or taking shots, while James was lying in tall grass or balancing between rocks and a pond just to get another perspective. It was so much fun, and a great break from the chaos of the wedding. Now if I didnt convince you that the love shoot was already an amazing part of The Feds experience; this should do it. At the reception they printed out hundreds of copies of the best love shoot pictures for people to take home with them from the reception. Think of it as another favor for your guests! As the Guinness commercials say... BRILLIANT! The Feds surprises don?t end there either. During their break, they reviewed some of the best shots of Tara getting ready and the ceremony. They then put a slide show out on an Apple Ibook with a signup sheet for family and guests to be notified when the pictures were ready to be purchased online. We had a fantastic band which drew quite a crowd, but that laptop drew an impressive crowd as well! Even when it was time to cut the cake; We had no clue what we were doing. But James and Kate guided us through the process like Cliff Notes. We dont know what we would have done without them there. Oh, did we mention that Kate was 7 months pregnant at the time and on her feet for 11 hours? She was AMAZING for what she had to carry around all day! If you are not sold after reading this review you already made a mistake. Stop wasting time looking for a photographer and just contact The Feds. This will be the best investment you have ever made for your special day. Not only were we blown away by their work, professionalism, and personalities; but being able to relive our wedding day over and over for years to come. They bring true meaning to "a picture can say a thousand words". And after 800+ or so pictures... Thats a lot of words.

A++++ Lisa Mancuso is worth every penny!!! When I met Lisa, I instantly felt comfortable with her!…read moreShe is one of the most talented photographers I have ever met. She did our engagement photos out in Swampscott on the beach and they all came out stunning! She made my fiance and I feel really comfortable in front of the camera which for my fiance is not easy. The pictures for our wedding were perfect in every way! Her co photographer Heather was very talented also, and super sweet! What a great team! I loved every single one of my wedding pictures! All of my family friends, and guests were raving about Lisa and Heather. I received all of my pictures 2 weeks after the wedding!! Everyone was surprised I already had them!! I am telling you, do not go with anyone else!!

Without a Hitch made our wedding day such a beautiful success! Our wedding planning was plagued…read morewith constantly changing COVID regulations and I was full of anxiety about how our big day would go. Allison and Sarah could not have been more comforting and proactive. Over email, phone, and video call, they put my mind at ease and I felt so prepared the day of my wedding, no matter what restrictions were in place. Allison could not have done a better job the day of. She built a great rapport with my family, bridal party, and the venue's event manager to ensure the day ran smoothly. She knew the schedule and set up like the back of her hand. When the timing of certain day-of activities changed last minute, she made sure to let me know of the changes and the night went on without issue. If it were not for COVID and my anxieties around how it would affect our wedding I likely would not have looked for an outside coordinator- our venue did provide one that began to work closely with us (and Allison) in the month or so before the wedding and I truly believe she would have done a comparable job in the day-of execution. But it's the long term commitment to the planning process that makes Without a Hitch special. And while our venue did not host many weddings during COVID, Without a Hitch planned so many, and had the experience and suggestions that made the wedding feel as normal as it possibly could. For any of my friends planning weddings at a less conventional venue or just want more support, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Without a Hitch, and more specifically Allison!

Think you don't need a coordinator? Think again. As an event planner bride myself, I knew I had…read moremost of the planning covered but needed support leading up to and on the big day. Sarah and her team are there every step of the way, providing advice, guidance, support, and everything you could possibly need. We are so grateful we could rely on Amy to support our special day.

I would turn to Without a Hitch for any major event and know I can trust them to care about the details as much as I do.

Coco shot a beautiful engagement session for us at our home and made it extremely comfortable. Because, let's face it--it's weird staring lovingly into each others eyes over and over and over again. The engagement photos are beautimous and make us look like the handsome male models that we are in real life. Scouts' Honor. Coco and her second shooter, Vince, were equally amazeballs at our wedding. They captured everything--how pretty we are when we cry, how pretty we are when we dance, how pretty we are welcoming guests, how pretty we are wearing tiny shorty shorts. The candidness of Coco's photos is breathtaking. Each time we review them, somebody cries and a fairy gets its wings. They are colorful and energetic and the best keepsake we have from the best wedding ever. It was better than yours will be, so don't even. Hire Coco. Don't question it. Just do it. Also, for the gays: If you're looking for a loverly gay-friendly photographer. Hire Coco. She be family (well not literally, but spiritually).

She was our…read morephotographer for our wedding and did an amazing job (but she also does other occasions as well too). We first found out about her through another person that saw her work displayed and recommend us to check her out. We looked at her website and fell in love with all the moments she captured for others, that we wanted the same for us. Krista was great to work with and definitely knew what we wanted captured after meeting her and just talking about how my husband and I met and things we like to do, etc. We felt we were in good hands. She offered a great package for what we were looking for our wedding. Our engagement photos were a great way to see how she works, getting a feel for the camera, and how great she takes pictures. She definitely has an eye for it. We got a lot of comments from both of our families, friends of ours, including friends of our parents about how they loved our photos. So it's definitely not just my husband and I that liked how they turned out! Even after we got married, I still hear family and friends mention how they liked the pictures from our wedding. Now that is a testament of how memorable her photos are. Everybody has different tastes and styles and budgets, but I'd say definitely check Krista out. It doesn't hurt. :)

It is easy to see that Jared is passionate about what he does and it shows in the photographs he takes. It also impresses us how Jared actually listened to our specific needs. We have a large family who enjoy photos of a candid nature. Jared and his assistant Matt were nonintrusive during the ceremony and reception, and yet they didn't miss a thing! The candid shots perfectly captured the moments of the night as well as the personality of everybody. My family is already talking about how they would like to hire Jared for the future family weddings. Overall, we'll highly recommend Jared, he does an outstanding job. On a side note, the wedding package he offers is a great value as well.

He won us over with his enthusiasm for being our wedding photographer, and was very considerate about working within our budget. We had a chance to get to know him when we did the engagement pics a couple of months before the wedding - without the pressure of the wedding day - and had a blast taking pictures around Salem. On the wedding day, he was a gem! He was exactly what we asked for: relaxed, appropriately directive when we needed him to be, and blended in with our wedding guests with ease. Even his assistant Matt was wonderful! Family members and guests who interacted with him came up to us after to compliment him to us, so it was clear he charmed more than just me and my husband. We have been thrilled as well with the results/photos, and have gotten many compliments on our photos from others. We recommend Jared very highly for weddings, or any other event where you may need to have a photographer! Check him out! :)
