I’m Felisha, an Award Winning - Published New England Wedding + Portrait photographer with the honor of capturing love stories and cherished moments across New England since 2013. Photography isn’t just my career—it’s the way I connect with people, turning clients into dear friends and fleeting moments into timeless memories. When I’m not behind the lens, you’ll find me soaking up life with my high school sweetheart, our beautiful daughter, and our two chocolate Labradors. My heart beats for real, authentic moments—the kind where love and laughter come effortlessly.

Awarded Best of Zola
Within a year of our wedding, our original photographer canceled, and I felt nothing but panic and sadness at having to start the search all over again. When I came across Felisha’s portfolio, it felt like fate. Her work was exactly what I had been envisioning from the start of wedding planning—and more. I reached out on a whim, fully expecting her to be booked, but by all the luck in the world she wasn’t and it was meant to be! From our very first call, Felisha instantly put me at ease. She felt like a friend—warm, kind, understanding, and genuinely willing to listen. Every ounce of worry disappeared, and instead, she added to the excitement of getting married. On our wedding day it was just easy and fun, it felt like a friend was capturing our day. Not only is her photography absolutely breathtaking, but the person behind the camera is equally as remarkable. I would relive our wedding day 100 times over with Felisha by our side. I’m beyond grateful for the memories she captured and gosh are they stunning! I cannot wait for future life moments to bring us together again, she is stuck with us for life if she’ll have us!

Lavel and her team are phenomenal and captured the most amazing photos of our wedding! She is wonderful to work with, very professional, and extremely talented. We love the way our photos turned out and look forward to viewing them for years to come. The process of booking with her was very streamlined. I started by filling out an inquiry form on her website, after which we had an in person consultation to go over details. There are several different packages that work for different budgets, and she worked with us to accommodate our needs. Lavel and her team were very responsive and helpful answering all of our questions as well. The engagement session was a great way to familiarize ourselves with the process and get comfortable with Lavel. Both me and my husband are camera shy, but she made us feel so comfortable and provided just the right amount of guidance for our photos.

We booked Lindsay for our wedding in my husband’s hometown, and it was by far the best decision and investment we made. From the moment I saw her page, I knew I had to book her because of the beautiful candid style and artistry of her photography. As a stressed bride being my own planner, I was so grateful for Lindsay’s guidance and resources during the planning process. I had full confidence that our wedding day would be captured just how it was, perfect. And Lindsay delivered. All of our guests commented on how professional and organized she was during the whole event, and how she made everything feel seamless. If there is one thing every bride/groom must do, it is to book Lindsay for their wedding (or any other event for that matter).

Jason "Snorlax" Cun is an all around photographer that currently resides in Los Angeles, California. He was raised in the heart of Los Angeles, where he found his calling in photography. He aims to capture the beauty of the world and the people in them. He has recently begun his travels around the U.S capturing the life of those within that city.

Jason was recommended to me by a family member, and to this day, I'm so grateful. Jason was so quick with communication. He responded and asked for details from the very beginning. He was easy to talk to. We ended up booking him for our engagement photos AND our wedding photos. Our engagement photo session was seamless. Jason was easy to work with and he made my (now) husband and I feel so comfortable. Photo sessions do NOT have to be awkward with Jason. He recommended the LA Arboretum and the Pasadena City Hall for our shoot and we couldn't have asked for any better location. Jason knew exactly where to go and what to do. When it came time for our wedding day, Jason and Mae (his second) were so nice. They did not rush us for any photoshoot. He had us take our time, take breathers, and helped us stress about one less thing during the day. We just got our photos back and they are downright GORGEOUS. I could not believe these were us. I am still amazed by it all. The turnover time was so quick as well. Again, communication was so easy with him. I HIGHLY recommend Jason as a photographer. We could not have asked for anyone better.

Jeff and Jon did an incredible job with our wedding video! We had a destination wedding in Santa Fe and they did such a great job at capturing the day on video in a way that makes us feel like we're there again. Jon was there with us for the event and was pleasant to be around and very professional. He worked with our photographer on documenting our day. They had a very quick turnaround time of 2 weeks for editing and completing our videos. The music was based on our personalized selection. We had a very small ceremony so wanted to be able to share with those who couldn't make it and they did the best job we could imagine.

I’m SO psyched that you’re here! I can’t tell you how much it means to me that you’re considering me to be a part of your journey. I believe that being a candid wedding photographer is more than just shooting a pretty picture, you need to capture a pure and authentic connection, be fully present during throughout your time together, and be someone your clients can truly trust. I can’t wait to get to know you and your partner (hopefully over coffee), get geared up for your moment in the sun, and make memories that will last a lifetime.

Michele was amazing from beginning to end. She brought so much warmth, kindness, professionalism, and fun to our wedding day. She connected so naturally with my bride Michelle, with me, and with our entire family. Our parents and our kids felt comfortable with her right away. It honestly felt like we had a friend photographing us, not just a vendor. I have known Michele for years and worked with her many times, so I already knew how talented she was, but she still exceeded every expectation. Michelle met her earlier this year and loved her from the start. Michele arrived early, was ready to work, and guided us with such ease. She communicates clearly and keeps the day feeling relaxed and natural. She worked beautifully with our DJ, our videographer, and our two coordinators. She blended in like family. She was fun, patient, and incredibly professional. Even the quick sneak peeks on her camera looked stunning, so we know the final gallery will be incredible. We are extremely happy that Michele was part of our special day. If you want your wedding to feel truly special and be captured with real heart and talent, you need Michele there. She is the best. Thank you so much Michele. We are very grateful for you! Michelle and Manny Vasquez

Long story short- Jade cares about YOU and this will be completely evident in her work. You won’t regret hiring her to capture one of the sweetest moments of your life. Your photos will last as long as your marriage-forever! Hire a professional to ensure every sweet moment is remembered for years to come. HIRE JADE. Because Jade cares about each of her couples you will see her professionalism, support, and amazing work on the day of your wedding. She was key to keeping our wedding on schedule, capturing our sweet candid moments, handling a huge crowd and crazy schedule (that never goes as planned), AND getting us our flawless prints very quickly after. This is someone who works hard and is in the business to use her skills for others. I truly felt she went above what we asked because she knows how precious these wedding photos are. We initially chose Jade because we loved her work. Her photos aren’t over edited and she has a range of creative shots. She provides photos of everything, from sweet bride and groom shots that capture the couples personalities to the shots of the little details that make your day special. I cannot recommend Jade enough! She was FANTASTIC (and her husband too!! Yes- hire both! the dream team)

Hi, I’m Casey, the heart and creative storyteller behind Casey Thomas Photography. Over the past 6 years, I’ve had the privilege of documenting precious memories and specializing in timeless, personal images that tell your story. My background in hospitality shapes how I serve my clients—attentiveness and meaningful connections are at the core of my business values. My goal is to make everyone feel loved and celebrated, creating images that capture not just your day, but who you are together.

My wife and I decided to do a small wedding, somewhat last minute, in Boulder, CO and Casey is the reason it turned out PERFECTLY. She was adventurous and followed us onto the side of a cliff during a windstorm. During the photo shoot I was convinced these photos would never turn out with how windy it was, and boy was I wrong. She managed to capture us in the most authentic and beautiful way. She is beyond talented, so kind, and so mindful. We are a same sex couple and she made every part of our wedding comfortable and easy going. Would recommend her to everyone we know and can't wait to take more pictures with her for our next big event!
