She's magical wrangling guests into place for photos while they had fun with the process. It's impossible to see everything that's happening at your own wedding - so KC's photos helped fill in the spaces for us and will be special to us always.

Susannah met us in the morning to accommodate his nap schedule, which we appreciate deeply. While he was a bit overwhelmed by the sights and sounds of the park in the morning we got some fun and serious photos. Susannah brought some toys that make noise to get the baby's attention and the novelty of them caught our son's attention better than toys from home. The bubble machine was also a nice touch. Overall she offers high quality service (photoshoot and editing) at a fair cost with a ton of flexibility. We will use her again if we choose to have another photoshoot. They grow so fast, it's great to have it documented in a professional way. 10/10 worth it!

Ladies, you will never be younger or more beautiful than you are right this very second. Document it! Share it! Enjoy it! Eden is definitely a girls girl, fixing our hair, find the most slimming angels, holding our purses. Her and Aaron are so knowledgeable about their town that it was like a mini historical walk too!

It was great to have Nicole come to our apartment to do a photo shoot with our new baby. Booking…read morewas super easy--you do it through the website and I was able to reschedule my session with no problem. Pricing is great especially for the quality and the photos you get. I sent them to a friend who had already booked her own newborn photo shoot and she said she regretted putting down a deposit with another photographer because she loved Nicole's style! We don't take a lot of photos and are pretty camera-shy, but Nicole was very helpful and gently guided us on what to do and made us feel free to try out different things. She was very gracious during our session and even went a little over time because we had to feed the baby in the middle of it. Photos came back within two weeks and we're very happy with them. Definitely will be recommending to my friends and hope to book Nicole again!

To start, the booking process was incredibly easy through her website and she was easily able to help reschedule my session (both the date and location!) over email. I felt very comfortable with her as soon as the session started and she walked me through what our time would look like. The gallery is incredible; I haven't loved photos of myself this much in years! I will be recommending Nicole to anyone in need of a photographer in the Boston area. It was so worth the investment!

My bride and I feel incredibly fortunate that we had already been introduced to Maureen prior to…read moregetting engaged. She shot our close friends' wedding and I was in their enormous wedding party. She handled all (18!) of us with calm assurance. The resulting photos were incredible. We actually ended up using one of the photos of us from that wedding as our engagement photo. I'm a professional event planner and have worked with many excellent photographers. What I really appreciated about Maureen's work was her ability to capture really touching candids - and really fun "formals". We decided against interviewing lots of photographers and booked Maureen after one meeting. It was a perk that she gave an LGBT community discount. We set up a Pinterest board shared with Maureen and proceeded to pin all kinds of wedding photos that we liked (including weddings at your venue). We threw in a few really fun and quirky shots that really fit our fall theme. The day of the wedding her and her assistant magically made those moments happen. We brought huge bins of pressed autumn oak leaves which she put to great use - including a fun montage throwing leaves with our nephews, a stunning photo of us laying on a bed of leaves and an incredible candid of us laughing as leaves rain down on us. Maureen's photos speak for themselves - but you also get a real professional who manages to be everywhere yet not ever in the way. Oh, and she uploaded a few images to Facebook that night, emailed a dozen more the next day and uploaded the rest of the images (over 850!) just 2.5 weeks after the wedding! After all the horror stories I've heard about couples waiting months (or longer) it was awesome to receive the images so quickly. She, with our permission, also uploaded many of them to her Facebook page making it really easy to share them with friends and family. If you're looking for a really great, creative and fun to work with photographer - you should definitely book Maureen Cotton.

Maureen Cotton was always going to photograph our wedding. For the sake of full disclosure, I need…read moreto point out right up front that she's been a close friend of my wife's for many years, and has become a friend of mine as well. Thank goodness she was, too. If we didn't know her, we might not have found her, and that would have been a huge loss. Other folks have talked plenty about how easy Maureen is to work with, and it's all true. She manages to walk the very fine line between friendly and professional, she has unfailing energy, and a can-do attitude. You know how the Marines talk about Improvising, Adapting and Overcoming? She has exactly that mindset. But here's the ONE most important thing when selecting a photographer. Her photos make us look good. Each picture tells a story. Some are epic, some are intimate, some are joyous or thoughtful or profound. There's the one of the two of us in front of a window that looks like a French new-wave movie (seriously, she made me look like Yves Montand, it was great!). There's the one of me and my Best Man locked in serious discussion before the wedding that's so dramatic my father-in-law refers to it as a "Jack and Bobby" shot. There's the one from our engagement shoot that sits near the door of our apartment, a photo we look at every time we come home, that I won't describe because I can't do it justice. Suffice to say it exactly captures the way I feel about the woman I love. And that is the great intangible about Maureen Cotton's art. She didn't just capture the moments of one of the best days of our life. She captured, perfectly, the way I felt during them. The smartest thing I did in regards to my wedding was convince Becky to marry me. The second smartest thing I did was agree when she said she wanted her dear friend, now our dear friend, Maureen Cotton to photograph it.

I fell in love with their artistry and the way they captured each emotional moment with sincerity. I contacted the owner Dan via email and he responded in a timely manner and was professional throughout the entire process. We had multiple in person meetings with Dan and his wife Kendra to make sure we knew what to expect the day of. Kendra is an amazing photographer, she has a eye for different shots and made sure my hair and dress stayed in place. She helped me keep my composure while Dan was photographing the groomsmen and my husband getting ready. It's important to feel at ease with your photographers, we certainly did. Dan and Kendra are a wonderful team and made my husband and I feel so comfortable. I was a curvaceous bride and they found so many flattering shots and angles. I cried after seeing the images because I couldn't believe I could look so beautiful. Our wedding album is pure joy to look through. They put a lot of effort into making the best day of my life memorable. You are in great hands with Lightshed Photography. Lightshed has a studio in Salem and they do family portraits too! We look forward to having them capture the next chapter in our lives.
