We are CityLux Studios - a husband + wife photography team based in the Boston area but we LOOOVE to travel. We photograph marriage proposals, weddings, boudoir and more! Sarah's passion for raw emotion + Peter's strong attention to detail blend to make an unmatched experience for each client. It's so important that we make each Bride + Groom feel confident, comfortable and completely at ease. Being married, we have been there and done that - so we know exactly how you're feeling! You work with us, and only us, every step of the way.

I had the most incredible experience with Kyra from CityLux Studios. I’m not originally from New England and she helped me narrow down the best areas for pictures in Boston. She was so fun to work with and truly made this experience so wonderful. My fiancé hates getting pictures done and he even said he had such a great time. I am getting married back home in Iowa and was originally only going to use CityLux for engagement photos, however, it was such an incredible experience we are going to use them for our wedding next year. I can’t imagine having anyone else shoot our wedding. I felt so comfortable and she was able to truly capture the love in our relationship in photos. Attached are some of my favorite photos from our shoot. I would recommend CityLux to everyone for any occasions.

Her vision and style were so perfectly aligned with ours and she was careful to take into account everything we asked for. She went above and beyond in a way we couldn’t have dreamed of going in and I was particularly impressed with how she kept track of our day and worked seamlessly with all of our other vendors!

I couldn't be more grateful that Rebecca & Andrew shot our special day. Not only are they wildly talented (see some photos below), but they also eased our wedding nerves with their incredibly friendly demeanor. They took time to get to know us, and helped us look good and natural during our photoshoot (not something I thought I was going to be very good at, but they proved me wrong). We loved working with Andrew & Rebecca so much so that we've actually worked with them a few more times after our wedding. They are the best, and if you choose them to photograph your big day you will not be disappointed.

Justin McCallum Photography

Hi! I’m Justin (he/him) and I’m here to affirm your love, make you feel like a fucking rockstar, and dance like a total fool. Oh, and take so many gorgeous photos of y’all. Obvs. My style blends both documentary photojournalism and fine art photography: coaching folks who are shy in front of the camera, then stepping back to capture authentic moments uninterrupted. I’ve been lucky enough to have my work published by A Practical Wedding, The New York Times, GLAMOUR, People Magazine and many other fabulous outlets. I'm a stereotypical Capricorn that loves drag shows, campy horror films, every dog I meet, and Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups.

Awarded Best of Zola
My wife and I love movies. A lot. So much so that we're on a first name basis with the staff of our local multiplex. When we got engaged we knew we wanted to have our pictures taken at the theater. It seemed like a crazy idea and Justin jumped at the chance. He came to the shoot filled with ideas and a contagious enthusiasm. Even before we got the amazing pictures we knew we wanted to hire him for our wedding day. The photos from the engagement shoot made us even more excited for our wedding, if only to see what Justin would do! On the day of the wedding he made us feel comfortable and at ease the whole time. He worked with our wedding planner and videographer to make sure everything went buttery smooth so we could be completely stress free. Our friends and family loved him too! He managed to make what by all accounts should have been an uncomfortable few hours and turn it into a genuinely fun experience for everyone involved. The wedding party had a blast goofing around and posing together. In addition to his great eye for staging Justin has a way of capturing moments of beauty you didn't even know were there. Blink-and-you-miss-them moments like the belly laugh after a joke, the joy of dancing with old friends, and the most meaningful of shared glances. He managed to bottle the full range of emotions of our day and lay them out in stunning detail so we can relive it over and over again. Not only is Justin McCallum a phenomenal photographer, he's also a passionate lovely person who is a joy to be around as well as work with.

Hey, I'm Mary! It's nice to meet you. Summing up who I am in an "about me" is always difficult. What you must know: (1) I'm a nerd. If you want to talk video games, LOTR or Doctor Who, we HAVE to sit down for a bourbon or a coffee. (2) Yes, I will be out on that dance floor with you snapping away while joining in on the fun. And (3), while I'm a photographer first, supporting you during the planning process feels crucial to me - from building a timeline to having your back any way I can.

Awarded Best of Zola
We got very lucky finding Mary as our photographer. She was our photographer for our engagement party, engagement photos, and the wedding day. She always made time to talk and keep an open line of communication! She was great at making us feel comfortable and giving directions (which we definitely needed). Mary is also extremely thoughtful and I really appreciate the little things she had done to make everything as perfect as possible!

We are a married couple of photographers. Within years of career, we discovered what’s really matters - we want to make people happy. Weddings have it all: new interesting people, touching stories, warm family relationships, tears. A lot of tears! Oh, don’t forget dances and sparklers! So, it’s fun! 🙂 Also, we love weddings because it’s the most challenging kind of photography in the field, it combines all the genres. It make you think, move and react quickly in constantly changing surrounding. We have no room for mistakes. So It’s never boring! 🙂

We absolutely loved working with Tati and Roman!! We knew that we wanted to work with them immediately after our first conversation with Tati. Having two photographers was a key differentiator for us because we knew that it would allow us to capture all of the important moments from our wedding day. Tati and Roman are both so genuinely warm, kind, and very easy to work with. They were quick to respond to all of our questions leading up to our wedding and also helped us organize our day-of-timeline in a way that allowed us to get all of the photos that we wanted while also providing us with plenty of time to be present and have fun with friends and family. Tati and Roman made us and all of our friends and family feel comfortable when taking photos and provided guidance when needed to ensure that we got the perfect shots. We were blown away when we got our wedding photos and are so happy with how they turned out! Tati and Roman captured all of the beautiful and authentic moments from that night and you can feel the love that was in the room. We cannot thank Tati and Roman enough and are so happy that we were able to work with them.

Hey there! My name is Emilee, and I am a Minnesota-native living in NYC! I've been photographing people and events for 15 years. I shoot families, couples, individuals, and pets, but my passion lies in wedding photography. I love capturing the whirlwind of a couples' big day, and seeing the love that is shared between them and all their wedding guests. It's magical and wonderful every. single. time.

Awarded Best of Zola
What a dream Emilee was to work with, from start to finish. OUR CEREMONY PARTY: we decided on a private, courthouse elopement on a Wednesday, a 60 person reception party on a Friday. In both, our biggest priority was having a photographer capture the intimate, joyful small details. We went with Emilee because of her eye for the beauty in the small things. She captured both our days perfectly. DOCUMENTARY STYLE: Emilee was perfect behind the scenes, capturing beautiful moments of our friends and family, small details of the courthouse with just us. I look back at some of these photos and ask "how did she even get that?!" She has such an eye. POSED: We had about 20 minutes dedicated to posed, family photos during our reception. Emilee had our families relaxed and laughing, quickly swapping members in and out. In some newlywed photos, we sought her advice for how to pose. She gave quick direction, made us feel confident, and always found the perfect light. COMMUNICATION SPEED: Delivered on every promise, quick replies. Emilee was 15 minutes early to both locations, we never had to worry. PERSONALLY: We met with Emilee about 4 months before our big days. We had coffee, talked about our vision and our biggest priorities. She immediately felt like a friend, and knew she was firmly on our team. If you're looking for a photographer to capture not only beautiful photos of yourself, but more importantly, the feeling in every room, Emilee is the photographer for you. We recommend wholeheartedly, and can't wait for another occasion to work with her. Sincerely, Mara James

After working 10+ years in corporate America in NYC, California and traveling the globe, I found myself wanting more than what the traditional career path had set for me. I stumbled into photography while I was on maternity leave with my oldest and started a side hustle that I had no idea was going to turn into a complete career change years later. From the very first wedding I shot, I knew I was onto something. And ever since then, I haven't looked back.

Kim is talented and committed and truly captured the joy and intimacy of our special day. She connected with us and our family in a way that felt more like having a friend there than just a vendor. One of our favorite touches was the sweet Polaroids she left with our wedding cards - the perfect surprise when we were feeling a bit of the post-wedding blues.

I'm in love with human emotions, either it's laughing till it hurts or tears of happiness. When your man hugs you so strong, that you can't breathe or when your dad is crying (for the first time in his life!) listening to your vows at the altar. I do believe, that these un-staged moments are more meaningful than classy portraits on a sunset (but no worries, you'll plenty of both!) If you feel like we are on the same page - let's talk! Write me a few words about who you are, tell me your story and let's create something beautiful together!

If you are reading this, go book Dasha! The wedding photographer was the most important vendor for us. After talking to many photographers, we ended up booking Dasha and that's the best decision we've ever made. Through our engagement session, we got so comfortable in front of her camera and the photos turned out great. Ahead of the wedding, I had a final meeting with Dasha and you could tell that she cares about her couples and gives good advice on the timeline. On the wedding day, her professionalism and creativity made the day so easy for us, and we didn't need to give her a long shortlist because we trusted her. When we received the full gallery, we were so BLOWN AWAY. The editing style speaks for itself. We also loved the way she documented our special - it feels very natural and authentic.

Coco J. Photography 

5.0

New York, NY
  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $5,500

A photographer with 10 years of experience specializing in love stories, portraiture, and immortalizing a moment filled to the brim with feeling. I’m French, which means I have aways been attracted to beauty, art, and romance & love to have a good time; my photography embodies this. When I am not behind the camera I enjoy eating good food and drinking wine (again, I’m French), going on roadtrips with my wonderful boyfriend, Max, and cuddling up with a good book - my favorite is The Pillars of the Earth - and my cutie pie cat, Jack.

*(Please excuse me while I pick up my jaw off the floor!) I am still in total awe of these photos. They are literally perfection. I posted our engagement photos about a week ago on social media and I still am getting non-stop comments from friends and friends of friends about how great they are, and honestly, I couldn't agree more. I had a vision of what I wanted my engagement photos to look like and Coco made that dream come true, but even better than what I could have imagined. Coco is such an incredibly talented photographer, but one of the things that make her so great is her direction, communication, and just how much fun you have with her! And all of that is CRUCIAL to getting good photos. The turnaround time for the photos was quicker than most photographers I've worked with, which I appreciated so much because I couldn't wait to see them!

Hi, I'm Mei! I first started out in photography just taking photos of friends in college, and now I get to photograph weddings, performances, celebrations, special events, and everything in between. Whether you're a natural in front of the camera or you hide whenever one comes out (like me!), I'm ready to capture you at your most radiant.

I am not exaggerating when I say that the thing we have gotten the most complements on since our special day is the photos themselves. Mei is phenomenal at capturing tender and exuberant moments AS THEY HAPPEN. Nothing looks staged because nothing felt staged. She was there with us to make every step of what could have been a very stressful day feel as fun, loving, and exciting as possible. From booking to planning to the wedding weekend itself, Mei was communicative, gentle, and intentional. She wasn't just there to capture the weekend, she improved it in every way. I could not imagine a better photographer to work with—from communication to vibes to the photos themselves, Mei is the best of the best!

New York, NY
  • Photojournalistic style

I found my love for photography in a high school dark room, and I have continued to follow that passion to find myself today working as a hybrid photographer in both Film and Digital. I strive not to just take pictures, but to capture candid emotions and capture them in a beautiful way. My photography is personal and intimate. My approach is a mixture of fine art and documentary, I try to capture your moments and day as it happened but highlighting the special details and taking advantage of the best lighting. As a lover of history I love capturing personal and family histories that surround weddings.

Awarded Best of Zola
Being a producer, photographer, and a photographer's agent, finding the perfect photographer for our wedding was actually quite a hard decision to make! Luckily, our planner who is also a photographer, recommended Judson to us. We are so grateful to have Judson be a part of our marriage celebration. The pre-planning was very thorough and thoughtful, and she made sure she got all of the information she needed in ahead of time. She came well prepared, was able to wrangle our families who met for the very first time that evening, and made us feel very comfortable and at ease during out portrait session. Judson captured the essence of our celebration, made us and our friends and family look super cute, and documented all the beautiful moments that happened throughout the night. We were truly blessed by her talent and we are so happy to have such wonderful visual documentation of our special day.

Jenny Flora Photography 

5.0

New York, NY
  • Fine art style

Before I ever held a camera, as a kid I was obsessed with organizing and reorganizing printed family snapshots in albums. This infatuation with captured moments, led to picking out my first film camera, a 35mm Pentax, film developing and darkroom printing in high school, and then my BFA in Photography Degree. From there, I worked in varied sectors of photography, but my true passion lay in documentary work that could bring about awareness of challenging global situations. I have published and exhibited journalistic series internationally, notably at Oxford University and Aperture Foundation.

Jenny is an absolute gem! We are so happy we found her to photograph our modern beach wedding at The Wave in Long Branch, NJ. Jenny has an amazing eye and took advantage of all the beautiful aspects of the venue allowing for a great variety of photos. And a good mix of candid and posed shots. It was so apparent that takes such pride in her work and loves the art, making us feel so comfortable and calm the entire time. Both my husband and I are camera shy but Jenny gave us clear direction and took into consideration everything we were and weren’t looking for. Jenny and Camilla were also extremely flexible and supportive the entire day. We can’t thank them enough for their enthusiasm and dedication. It’s so apparent in their work. Thank you, Chris & Danielle

NOTE: I'm now taking on ONLY elopements and microweddings. A little about me...I love color; maybe the purple hair tipped you off? I almost always have a bag of (biodegradable) confetti on me. You never know when you’ll need it! I have a cat named Icarus who has too many toes and likes to dress up like a lion. I used to work in publishing, where I was mostly getting romance novels published in other countries. I’m in a family band. And I can’t believe my job is to document wonderful, beautiful people and the most joyful moments of their lives.

I photograph love because I believe in it. I don’t believe in it in the way that a little girl believes in ferries or unicorns, a hopeful “I think it is real” kind of a belief, I believe in its power. I believe that love is the most important emotion we will feel in this lifetime and I believe it has the greatest ability for good. I believe that each human on this earth should have the opportunity to feel deeply loved and to love another deeply themselves. I believe that love is something that should be treasured, cared for, and celebrated.

She does this all with a big smile because she is so genuinely happy to be there for you, with you. Do the right thing and hire Allison!

Mikkel Paige Photography doesn't simply take photos - she creates them. She'll laugh and joke with you to get those smiles going to make you feel comfortable in front of the camera so you’re free to be yourselves. Her vibrant photos resonate with couples who gravitate towards color and the details. Mikkel is an avid traveler and will go any distance to capture love and work with fun-loving couples, from the Caribbean, to California, Walt Disney World, Norway and beyond.

Awarded Best of Zola
Mikkel was more than just our photographer, she was a partner to us for the wedding as a whole! We had a destination wedding on the new Disney cruise ship, the Wish, and while it was an amazing time there were definitely challenges to planning a destination wedding at a brand new venue that we couldn't see until the wedding trip itself. Mikkel has a strong network of contacts in the industry that kept her informed of the ship and logistics and she ended up being more helpful to us than our Disney wedding coordinator! She checked in multiple times throughout our wedding planning on photography things such as the timeline, but also helped in providing her opinion on things like the bridesmaid dresses, the locations for the first look, and was generally helpful with her wealth of knowledge of Disney Cruise Line weddings to bounce ideas off of. Her pictures were INCREDIBLE! The quality, coloring, angles, lighting, everything about them is absolutely perfect. But most importantly, she is such a warm and happy person to work with that we felt incredibly comfortable posing in front of her for hours on end! We also had the luxury of her husband helping us a bit too and they were such a team, working together in the hot Bahamian sun quickly and effectively without even needing to direct each other most of the time to maximize how many pictures we could get before the sweat ruined our dress/suit/hair! Another attribute of Mikkel's that's worth mentioning is her flexibility. We took pictures with her the days before and after our wedding in addition to the big day, and our plan and timeline for the full weekend was completely in flux due to the chaos of our venue. If that caused issues for Mikkel, we never knew as she was upbeat and positive and leaned into every challenge that came our way. Honestly I could go on and on about her, she's exactly who we needed for our wedding and I am so grateful that we found her. If you are considering Mikkel, stop thinking about it and just book her - you won't regret it!
