Knowing that a split second of time I capture with my camera can turn into an image cherished by generations. This is what excites me about being a wedding photographer and motivates me to continuously hone my skills and my vision. I love stunning natural light and pure, raw emotion. I love simple, clean compositions and bright, intense colors. I love shooting the big moments of the wedding day and the seemingly quieter ones – to me they are equally important and it is often when I look beyond the obvious that I am able to create the best pictures. I take an unobtrusive approach to my photography, allowing everything in front of my lens to happen naturally and my goal is to create images that tell the beautiful and unique story of your special event. I live in Somerville, Massachusetts with my wife, 5-year old daughter and 2-year old son, am an award-winning member of the Wedding Photojournalist Association (WPJA), and have had my work featured in The Knot Boston and Gala Weddings.

My name is Nicole. I'm a Boston wedding photographer and I: can eat more chocolate than you can (Dark and milk. We all know that white doesn't really count), speak quickly (so keep up!) and live to travel, play board games and laugh 'till my cheeks hurt My style is a mix of creative documentary and stunning portraits. I believe that moments trump all - big moments, quiet moments, obnoxious moments and of course, little moments. I strive to create meaningful photographs. Above all, I believe that wedding photography should never be a cookie-cutter experience. [Boston Wedding Photographer]

I grew up in Eastern Europe — technically Moldova. I have always had a natural eye for photography. In my youth, I often looked out at the landscape and thought of ways to capture its uniqueness and beauty. Eight years ago, I began taking wedding photos as an assistant, and studied under my mentor, a well-known photographer and cinematographer. I learned to take my natural eye and transform that into a journalistic style of photography. Over the last four years, my focus has been on being the best Boston wedding photography. I have documented over 100 weddings throughout region and have photographed weddings at churches, parks, and people’s backyard. I enjoy the variety of my work and feel it challenges me.

The foundation of all my work is photographic and studio art experience which serves as influence and guide for all my creative exploration. I work in a variety of photographic styles, combining photojournalistic coverage with editorial portraiture. I earned a Masters in Art Education from Massachusetts College of Art, and hold a Bachelors degree in Photography and Media Studies from Hampshire College in Amherst, Massachusetts. The studio name, Ars Magna [Latin for 'great art'], is my tribute to six years at Boston Latin School, where I translated many classics and gained a life long love of learning. As part of a vibrant arts neighborhood in the city, I love collaborating with other makers and participating in community arts events like Open Studios. [Boston Wedding Photographer]

We're Matt and Paulette, a married photography team focused on documenting love and life in a way that's natural and true. We met in 2004 when we worked for the same portrait studio. A wedding, two dogs, and many adventures later, we're still shooting, still learning, and still passionate about what we do. And pizza. We love each other. We love fun. We love fun. What we do Our goal is to capture your story so you can appreciate this time in your life forever, and to do it in a way that makes your day easy so you can focus on enjoying the good stuff. We like to mix the photojournalism-style with editorial storytelling- bringing out the light, color, and emotion that adds dimension to your day. We want you to look at your photos years from now and feel like you're there all over again, enjoying the details that you worked so hard on, the natural reactions, and even the things you didn't know about or plan. We value art, adventure, and meaningful connections. We love this job because it involves all three. It's so great meeting new couples and having the opportunity to document and share in their once-in-a-lifetime event. It challenges us, it rewards us, and frankly, we have a blast doing it. Having both of us at your wedding means your day is being covered by two professional photographers that work together constantly, instead of just one photographer, or a photographer and a "second shooter." We believe that when choosing a wedding photographer, the most important factor besides photographic style is that you like being around us and you trust us to capture your day.

Here is my approach simmered down to a concentrate: "My entire goal in my wedding photography practice is to make photographs that transport viewers back to the day. I create images that can be stepped into, entered physically. Through the utilization of movement, emotion, and light I accomplish this. The wedding day goes by very quickly. If the images are strong in this way, they can help the day to live on for all the years to come, for you, for your family, and for whoever couldn't be there, because they weren't born yet." TLDR: Over the years my friends have told me that their wedding day went by faster than you could possibly imagine. I heard them, but it wasn’t until my own wedding, that I fully understood what they meant. From the moment our beloved friends and family began arriving in this miraculous unending flow, I could already feel the specific indescribable joy slipping away. I wished I had a few dozen of myself to run around and take it all in, to reminisce about childhood with every cousin, to introduce my old friends to my wife’s old friends, to squeeze all the shoulders, to share all the laughter. Luckily we hired a fantastic photographer, so we will have beautiful prints and albums to supplement our memories for the rest of our lives. As a photographer, I am primarily a storyteller (I also write fiction.) Weddings are epic stories, usually squeezed into the space of a single day. As I photograph a wedding, I look for all the distinct stories that are unfolding, and I aspire to make images that will recall them. My work ethic is strong, and also, I just love making emotional, dynamic photographs, so I pretty much work nonstop from the moment I arrive at a wedding. For a single day your fiery grandma will break bread with your freshman year roommate. Your best friend from elementary school very well may fall in love with your partner’s cousin. These things matter, so I make it my job to document these moments. One of my goals is to make a meaningful photograph of every guest. There are photographers who set up the standard moments, and do little else. I tend to think the in-between moments are just as important (if not more so.) I try to be in all the places you didn’t have time to be, to observe all the people and events you didn’t have time to observe, and to document them for you. There are also photographers who chase the couple around all day long. As a result, there are guests who aren’t photographed even once. These wedding guests are the most important people in your life. Many of them will travel from great distances to show their love and commitment to you, and to the partnership you are entering into. When times get tough, it is these people who will support you in the long years of your marriage. So, yes, I tell stories about weddings, but not just any old story, I try to tell a gorgeous story that honors the vision you have for your union and its celebration. In order to tell a story that honors a your vision, I need to communicate very well. I ask questions and I listen closely, so that I can understand what matters most to you. In the end you will have your prints and your albums. Your photographs will remind you why you spent all those hours planning. They will remind you of all the help and warmth and support your family and friends brought to the occasion. They will remind you that an overwhelming number of people care about you, and it isn’t just that they care about you, they care about your love and your partnership.

Cate graduated in 2006 with an Associate of Science in Professional Photography from McIntosh College. It is there where her passion for medium format photography first developed. This premium level of high-end photography is a service she still provides for all her weddings and engagement sessions to this day. Workshops are another way Cate has expanded her photography education. Creative and intensive, week-long photography workshops have been a constant presence in Cate's educational background and are planned into the future. What makes these workshops an important piece in her photography style, is the intention of growing her craft, learning the latest techniques, and networking with photographers around the world. These workshops encompass a variety of subjects like landscape techniques, wedding-specific intensives, and commercial/stock photography. She had attended The Maine Media Workshops in Camden, Maine and several at Rocky Mountain School of Photography in places like Missoula and Kalispell, Montana and Yellowstone National Park. In 2015, Cate spent 9 weeks in Missoula, Montana at Rocky Mountain School of Photography and completed an Advanced Intensive photography program that covered all aspects of photography, from weddings to fashion to commercial and more. ___ I often describe my style as romantic storytelling. As a photographer who specializes in weddings, I try to connect with my couples in a way that helps them feel at ease in front of the camera. This allows them to relax and enjoy the day, moment by moment. From this point, I am able to capture the emotion and natural expressions as they happen. Yet, I also stress the importance of photographing a family together in a more formal way. I feel these types of images last far beyond the wedding and document who we are, and who your family is, at a specific second in time. I am passionate about New Hampshire and I really enjoy working with couples who share a love for the beauty of my home state. Many of my clients talk of their memories of visiting the mountains or lakes with their families as children and their wish to maintain this legacy into adulthood with their partner. I cannot get enough of these stories! Your connection to New Hampshire is the same I feel when I look out my window every day and is 100% the reason I choose to work and live here. I cannot wait to hear about your connection and share with you some of the most amazing locations and venues for your photos. Not sure what all the fuss is about? Reach out and I will gladly share it with you! [New Hampshire Wedding Photographer]
