PERSONABLE & REAL…read more..... My (now) brother-in-law was told he may be going overseas for a 9 month deployment (military) so we started to put a wedding together with very little notice. Kim was recommended by the photographer (Vee) who worked at my 1st wedding. Kim was responsive and available on short notice (holiday too - Memorial Day). We could not be happier that we hired her! Just in talking with Kim before the wedding (2 month timespan), we became friends. She met with me & my fiance beforehand to discuss what we were looking to capture in our photos, and she did! Kim is very personable and she blended in with our family at our intimate wedding of 25. We were married May 2013 and we still keep in touch :) Kim's photos are gorgeous and many friends and family have commented on how natural they look. It was drizzling and the ceremony started late. Kim was understanding and took that time to meet our families while setting up. You would never know how cold & miserable it was that day by looking at the photos. Everyone looks happy! Yes, she asks you to stand a certain way (to make you look great), but the photos look candid even when staged. I agree with Jennifer J.'s review whole-heartedly. Kim's prices are very reasonable. She is open to suggestions too. I asked her to order the metallic paper for my favorite black & white and WOW! I am so glad she didn't push me to pick another paper. If you want a genuine photographer who will make sure you get the pictures YOU want, call Kim! I can't say enough wonderful things about Kim and how she captured our special day. Thank you, Kim!

Working with Hilary and her team has been an absolutely fantastic experience and I can't recommend…read moreher enough. Hilary first met Arash, my husband, and I in 2016 at my friends wedding in BI and we both knew right then that she would be our wedding photographer one day! We love her style. She's professional and approachable, and really works to understand what's important to the bride and groom. For our wedding we wanted a lot of candid photos and she did just that. We received our photos a few weeks ago and we are obsessed! They are beautiful and she did an excellent job capturing all the special moments of our wedding day. What makes Hilary really amazing is her attention to detail and willingness to go above and beyond. We didn't want to do engagement photos but she still took the time to meet with us in August and see the place where we were getting married. She even did a fun, impromptu photo shoot so we had a few photos to remember the special day. Arash is Persian, so on the day of our wedding Hilary made sure to capture all the Persian decorations and the special moments during our ceremony that were really important to my in-laws. After the wedding, Hilary checked in with us frequently, keeping us updated on when the photos would be ready and sharing a few 'sneak peeks' every week as small surprises of what was to come. When the actual photos were ready, she sent us a handwritten card and sparkling wine to celebrate as we looked through them. She's thoughtful and puts a personal touch on everything she does. It makes a huge difference and truly sets her apart. Hilary and the work she and her team did for our wedding will always hold such a special place in our heart! We will continue to stay in touch and work with her, and I can't recommend her enough. She is a talent!

I'm so happy I splurged to get these beautiful memories recorded of my family. Would definitely recommend getting in touch with her.

There are good photographers, great photographers, and then there's Brad Smith, the greatest…read more Having briefly worked with Brad with Yelp, I knew he was not only an excellent photographer, but a really cool guy. When I got engaged, I knew that there was no one else that I would rather have photograph our wedding. I remember telling Brad early on that James and I weren't the kind of couple that would be into cutesy poses, but after the post-ceremony oxytocin kicks in, and Brad gives the direction for a gentle kiss on the forehead, you're all about it, and it feels perfectly natural. He will take advantage of the light, and weather to make sure you capture the most beautiful and romantic photos possible on your special day. Throughout the rest of the day, other than the obligatory posed photos, Brad is quietly doing his job, capturing both the ordinary and extraordinary moments with professionalism and skill beyond compare. It's true that after the big day ends, all you're left with is the photos. It's worth investing in a photographer, like Brad, on whom you can depend to capture all of the moments you want to remember for a lifetime. Thank you, Brad!

To all of Brad's potential and future clients,…read more You've found your photojournalist; be it engagement shoot, wedding photographer, or event documentarian. I've gotten to know Brad over the past few months at different parties where he has been the resident photographer. He is kind, unobtrusive, and boy does he have the 'eye' - mushy backgrounds, artistic depth of fields, a flash that works in low light and gives a soft glow PLUS he has a know how in post production - what blemishes?! A rare find in a single individual. He likes to hang back but is of course game for those more forward with wanting their picture taken...I don't know who I could be talking about? ;) To Brad - You are the best! The last event you shot inspired this little haiku - just for you: artsy camera man how to handle poser me clicks ticks flash so soft

My workplace recently hired a different photographer to take office headshots and I absolutely hate the photo that they are making me use on our website.

My friend used him for family portraits and they loved him too.

I dislike being photographed, but Glenn was gracious and patient and did his best to put me at ease. He took reams of shots, reviewed them with me, and let me take my time winnowing the choices down to two that would work for what I needed. He also made prints -- not one of his usual services -- to the exact measurements required. It was a relief to find someone so experienced, professional, and personable to help me with a task I'd been dreading. I recommend him highly.

Daniela was, HANDS DOWN, the best vendor decision I made for my entire wedding. Not only is she…read moretremendously talented, she is the sweetest soul you will ever meet. From start to finish, we were so pleased with her services. We opted to take advantage of Daniela's complimentary engagement session. We met out by Beavertail Lighthouse (apparently one of her favorite spots around town). This was really the first time that my husband and I had taken pictures of this nature so, of course, we were just a little anxious going into it all. Daniela made everything SO easy, fun, and relaxed. The very next day she sent over a few sneak peak pics from the engagement session. The photos were STUNNING. It made me even more excited to have her as my photographer! On the day of the wedding Daniela showed up and we just had a brief conversation about any of the pictures I specifically wanted. I also gave her a list of my "need to have" pics. She made sure that all of these were taken. Further, we did all of our family/wedding party pics BEFORE the ceremony, which was probably the greatest idea ever. My wedding party was actually able to enjoy cocktail hour while my husband and I snagged just a few more shots we wanted. I would also like to note that it can sometimes be difficult herding a large group of people and also fitting them into one picture with a cohesive look. Daniela was a master at this and, again, just such a sweet and calm presence. During the actually wedding Daniela walked around with a big smile on her face. When I received my pictures I was just floored. I knew that they were going to be good because I already saw the engagement pics but the wedding pics just blew everything out of the water. She captured every intricate detail so beautifully. I'm so grateful I hired Daniela! She is a genuinely kind, wonderful, TALENTED person. If I could hire her to take pictures for every single major (or even minor) life event, I would. We kept saying "let's be real life friends!!" all throughout the wedding LOL! She just really is one of those people that you love being around. Words truly cannot express how much my husband and I loved having Daniela as our wedding photographer. If you can snag her for your wedding, DO SO ASAP! It will be your best wedding decision too!!!

We had an amazing experience with Sister City Photography for our annual Christmas card photos…read more Daniela went above and beyond from start to finish. We chose to shoot in the South End to capture the beautiful brownstones and fall foliage, and the photos turned out even better than I imagined. Our situation was a bit tricky because we were working around a sleepy 6-month-old. Daniela kindly adjusted her schedule at the last minute so our baby could take a full nap beforehand, something any parent will appreciate! During the shoot, she gave us so much direction on how to stand, pose, and find the best lighting, which made the entire experience effortless and enjoyable. People walking by even stopped to say how great the photos were going to look -- and they were right. The images came out stunning. I've received so many compliments on our Christmas card this year, and it was hard to narrow it down to just a handful of photos because everything she captured was perfect. Daniela truly brought my vision to life and beautifully documented our memories in Boston. I can't recommend Sister City Photography enough for anyone looking for thoughtful, high-quality family photos.

I had called several companies to get a passport type photo. John answered the phone himself. He…read morehas a studio and does fashion/glamour shots of families. He was a little more expensive at 12.84. But he took about 5-6 shots and posed me a bit to get the best shot. He also had the print cut and shaped. AND he provided a little envelope to store the photos. He is professional and very quick for passport photos. In comparison to other shops that are crowded and hot, with no retakes, no help on posing, no print cutting, and no envelope to protect the photos. $8.95 for the other shops. So, if you want a pleasant experience for a couple bucks more. I would try here. I will also be trying him for our Christmas photos.

Now that was the US passport photo. When I needed to get a Canadian passport photo for the same daughter, just the thought of going to the same places got me frustrated as the Canadian have very specific measurement to their Citizenship as well as passport photos. I randomly called John Gaspar photographers. The moment he picked up the phone and started talking to me I knew I found the right place, as he knew exactly the measurement needed for the Canadian photos. My wife went to his store and was amazed by the speed and the professionalism at which Mr. Gaspar took the photo and she loved the outcome and actually blamed me for not finding him sooner having to go through what we have been through with the US passport photo.

She works to fit your needs and for those of you wondering about the expense, pricing is really affordable for GREAT products! She really works with you. Also communication is great!

If you are considering working with Sara, I truly cannot recommend her enough. From our very first…read moreexperience with her, we knew immediately that we had made the right choice. We met Sara for our engagement photos at our favorite restaurant and then out on a boat, and what could have felt awkward or staged was somehow completely natural and SO much fun. She made us feel comfortable almost instantly, understood us as a couple, and captured photos that actually felt like us. We left that day even more excited knowing she would be the person capturing our wedding. That feeling only grew throughout the entire wedding process. Sara truly listened to what was important to us. More than anything, we wanted our wedding photos to feel intentional and real. We wanted the little moments between the two of us, the interactions with all of our favorite people, and the pieces of the weekend that we knew would go by far too quickly. Somehow, she captured all of it. Looking through our photos feels like getting to experience the weekend all over again, including so many tiny moments we didn't even realize she was there to catch. Our wedding weekend also came with a nor'easter and more than a few changes to the original plan, and Sara handled every single pivot effortlessly. Nothing ever felt like a problem. Sara and her team adjusted, kept everything moving, and always brought the focus back to what actually mattered to us. She managed to completely run the show when we needed her to while still making everything feel easy, natural, and fun. At one point she was literally running through the wet grass with us in the storm to get the shot because we so badly wanted to get outside, and it will forever be one of my favorite memories from the weekend! I also really appreciated the way Sara listened to the specific images and ideas I had hoped for without ever making them feel copied or overly posed. I had shown her a photo of hers which I loved, and instead of simply recreating it, she understood what I loved about it and made it completely our own. That was true throughout the entire weekend. She took the things that mattered to us and found a way to capture them in a way that felt authentic to our wedding. And then there are the actual photos. I genuinely do not have the words. They are everything I could have hoped for and more. They are beautiful, emotional, joyful, romantic, and so completely us. Sara captured not only what our wedding looked like, but what it felt like. That is such an incredible gift, and something we will treasure for the rest of our lives. Her team, Stephanie and Katherine, were also absolutely wonderful and brought the same kindness, professionalism, and calm energy throughout the weekend. We felt incredibly lucky to have all three of them there with us. And somehow, after all of that, we received our photos in SO SO QUICKLY, which absolutely blew me away! I could go on forever, but the beautiful images are honestly only part of what makes Sara so special. It is the experience of working with her, how much she listens, how comfortable she makes you feel, how calmly she handles the unexpected, and how genuinely invested she is in capturing the people and moments that matter to you. Choosing Sara was one of the absolute best decisions we made for our wedding. We could not feel more grateful that we had the opportunity to work with her, and I would choose her again a million times over.

Ages ranging from 22 months to 80, we were NOT an easy group to work with I assure you. Yet, with Sara's skillful direction, artistic eye, professional expertise, positive attitude, and calm manner, over 100 shots were taken in an hour. Sara created a natural and as stress-free as possible experience for our family. She directed us quickly on posing with her expert eye and overcame the short attention spans of the children. She made us feel comfortable with her good direction and patience to get the best results. Thank you, Sara! We highly recommend Sara Zarrella Photography, an award-winning, nationally published studio. I am grateful that my daughter did the research to find her.

Getting married is a series of beautiful, surreal, and fleeting moments. For me, I knew it'd be the only time in my life where we'd be surrounded by our closest family and friends from around the world, representing different chapters of our life... and only for one day. Choosing the right storyteller was a big deal for me, and I could not have been happier with our decision to work with Paul.

Paul is the definition of a professional. He was organized, efficient, and clearly experienced, but what stood out most was his calming presence. Weddings can feel overwhelming at times, and he had this steady, reassuring energy that instantly soothed any anxieties we had. We felt completely at ease in his hands. He has an incredible eye for what works visually and knew exactly how to position us and our families to get the best shots. When it came time for family photos, he took charge and confidently wrangled everyone together, keeping things moving smoothly without making it feel rushed. At the same time, he was intentional about creating space for just the two of us to share special moments throughout the day. Our first look was beautiful and intimate, just what we wanted it to be. Those quiet, genuine interactions resulted in photos that truly captured who we are and the heart of our relationship. The final gallery was absolutely gorgeous -- better than we could have imagined. Every image felt natural, emotional, and beautifully composed. Throughout the editing process, Paul was communicative and transparent about timing, keeping us updated on when to expect our photos. We would recommend him to any couple, any day. Choosing Paul was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding, and I can only hope we have the opportunity to work with him again in the future!!!
