Louisa & Alex – Rustic Smith Barn Wedding – Peabody, MA
“From beginning to end Katie and Max were wonderful to work with. They have a lot of expertise, knowledge, and experience but were still very open to what we wanted, providing their professional opinion to help us in our decision making. We chose them to be our photographers mainly because we were drawn to their style, and we are so happy we did. Their enthusiasm for our wedding and our vision was always appreciated and we had a lot of fun working with them on the actual day. Many of our guests commented on how inconspicuous they were, while also noticing how they were always around to catch the important moments. Our photos came out better than we could have imagined and we are so happy that Katie and Max were a part of our day!” -Louisa & Alex
Nicole & Winslow – Rustic Bourne Farm Wedding – Cape Cod, MA
“Hi Katie and Max… We can not tell you how much we love every one of the pictures. I have gotten so many wonderful comments and wanted to share some with you–”Omg!!!! The photos were amazing!!!”, ”Loved the photographers”, ”WOW! I just sat here and had my coffee and watched the entire slideshow with a smile on my face. What a FUN night and those pictures are incredible!”, ”These are the most beautiful wedding photos I’ve ever seen! Brings back every minute from that magical weekend”, ”These are some GREAT pictures”, ”Those have to be the most spectacular photos. What an incredible job they did for you. If there was one I really liked, there was always another I liked even better.”

Nancy & Zach – Rustic Webster Barn Wedding – Hyde Park, VT
“I’ll be the one to say it… our wedding pictures are AWESOME. We sit and stare at every detail of every photo, every day. The aesthetic of our wedding was so important to us from day one, so picking a photographer who could capture that, was the first on our list! People kept telling us… ‘You have 9 months to plan your wedding, and 9 hours to photograph it’. Katie and Max were the first we found, and as we scoured the internet, we kept coming back to them. They were instantly warm and professional, and we felt an immediate connection. They felt like family! On the day of, they were so calming, and we had people ask us if we even had photographers there. Their talent is incredible, and we came out of it feeling so lucky, and with the most amazing documentation of the best day of our lives.”
-Nancy
Becca & Andrew – Crane Estate Vintage Wedding – Ipswich, MA
“A HUGE thank you to Katie and Max for their amazing work capturing our wedding day. Planning our wedding on the North Shore of Boston from San Francisco, I reached out to a number of different photographers and it wasn’t until I contacted Dreamlove that I felt like I really connected with two people, who wanted to help make our day special and truly reflect us. Katie and Max are down to earth, professional and fun to be around. They took the time to get to know us, listen to our preferences and help us maximize our time together and with family and friends on our wedding day. Most importantly, they are great at what they do and an awesome team. We were thrilled with our wedding pictures and have received the most wonderful feedback from family, friends and co-workers.” -Becca & Andrew
Jessie & Chris | Tower Hill Botanic Garden Wedding | Boylston, MA
When we got engaged, we knew that finding the right photographers was going to be an important — if not the most important — aspect of wedding-planning. We loved Katie & Max’s work as soon as we saw it, but it wasn’t until meeting them that we knew they were the ones we wanted to have document our big day. From the start, they were able to strike a perfect balance between laid-back and professional — something that was really important in allaying any concerns we might have had about spending our wedding day with two perfect strangers. We were beyond pleased with their work; the images are beautiful and completely representative of the vibe of our wedding. Especially in looking back at how quickly the whole day went, we’re so grateful for the work that Katie & Max did of documenting not just the big, important moments of the day, but also the little ones, and all the details that made the day so special and amazing.” -Jessie & Chris
Kelsie & Doug | Antique Backyard Barn Wedding | Antrim, NH
“We LOVE our wedding photos! Max and Katie and so talented, and there really are no words to describe how much we enjoyed working with them. While planning, we looked at what felt like hundreds of photographers’ websites. When we clicked on Dreamlove’s website, we fell in love! The photos were so beautiful, so unique, they really stood out from everything else we’d seen. Max and Katie were so warm and supportive the day of our wedding, and good-naturedly dealt with the chaos of a sudden thunderstorm, which meant moving our outdoor ceremony to the barn at the last minute! Despite the rain, our wedding stands out as the most amazing, memorable day. It was so full of love and support from friends and family, and Max and Katie contributed to a beautiful day, focused on what mattered most: marrying each other. Just days after the wedding, they posted photos on their blog. Our friends and family still talk about how lovely the photos are and how much they enjoyed being around our photographers for the day!” -Kelsie & Doug
Leslie & Jon | Moraine Farm Estate Wedding | Beverly, MA
“Aside from finding a venue, photography was our highest priority and we couldn’t have been happier with the choice we made. Katie and Max were easy to talk with and were very communicative and professional throughout the entire process. We went with an engagement shoot, which helped us get to know them even more and become familiar with their shooting styles. It also made us more comfortable in front of the camera, which helped our wedding day photos look more relaxed and natural! Speaking of wedding day photos, they were absolutely AMAZING and truly captured each moment perfectly. It was like reliving the day all over again. While Katie and Max were by our side the entire day, they were never obtrusive and it ended up feeling like we had a couple extra friends at our wedding. We got married on a Saturday, and by the very next week, we had our full DVD of pictures! Magical is the word we have heard most when describing the photographs and we couldn’t agree more. Thanks Katie and Max!” -Leslie
Heather & Jamie | Camp Kiwanee Rustic Wedding | Hanson, MA
“I have always believed it to be impossible to actually enjoy having my picture taken, never mind the actual results… but the moment Jamie and I sat down to look over the blog post of our wedding day, I knew that you had proven me wrong! We sat there with huge grins on our faces as we scrolled through each photo. We are so grateful to have had the honor of working with you, we wish that we could get married every year! Not only are we absolutely in love with all the photos, but we agree that you and Max were the perfect people to have with us on our big day. You were both so interested and enthusiastic about everything, it felt completely natural to have you there. Like old friends! :)
Seeing our photos was one of the most exciting parts of the whole experience of getting married! Thank you infinitely!” -Heather & Jamie

“I have to tell you, I am out of my mind. My wedding pictures are phenomenal. I mean, you made my entire day. I never expected the pictures to be this gorgeous…I am blown away. And let me tell you something, I am not impressed easily! You made my entire wedding and I’m so happy I hired you. I am absolutely thrilled with my pictures. I can’t thank you enough, I really can’t. I couldn’t even send you an email you to tell you, I had to call you on the phone. I’m just blown away. I am so ecstatic, they’re gorgeous. Thank you so much, thank you, thank you.”

Dot & Seth | Larz Anderson Auto Museum Wedding | Boston, MA
“We were blown away by your dedication to getting to know us as a couple, keen eye for details and distinctive photo-journalistic style. When it comes down to it, it’s “how you tell the story” that matters to us when we look at our wedding photos. We didn’t realize we would be so involved with being present at our wedding that we would miss out on the opportunity to remark at how beautiful the flowers looked, or even how amazingly happy our guests looked.
Looking back on our pictures, it is so nice to see those details that we missed because we were too busy being crazy in love with one another! Working with you has been a ball and we will be recommending your services for weddings and portraiture to our community for ever and ever!”
-Dot & Seth
Jenny & Scott | Smith Barn at Brooksby Farm | Peabody, MA
“We feel so blessed to say that we had two of the most talented photographers around document our wedding. Our photographs speak for themselves. They are absolutely gorgeous. They carry to the spirit and mood of the day. We actually almost signed a contract with another photographer, but we just couldn’t stop talking about your work! During our engagement shoot, we felt a bit camera shy at first, but you immediately put us at ease. By the end of the shoot, you felt like old friends. While working together, you compliment each other well–always communicating and collaborating to find the perfect shot. My friends often tell me that they are the best wedding photographs they have ever seen! We are so happy that we trusted you with our wedding day memories, and cannot wait for you to photograph our children some day. Thank you Katie and Max!” -Jenny & Scott
Wendy & Tom | Franklin Plaza | Troy, NY
“We LOVE LOVE LOVE the pictures!! And I wanted to thank you for everything! We really enjoyed your ideas for pictures, your wonderful attitudes and we kind of wish that you lived closer, cause we think you would be a pretty fun couple to hang out with!
I have already heard many praises for your stealthy photography! Someone said, “Everytime I thought, ‘Oh that would be a cute picture’ the photographers were already there!” We can’t thank you enough for being an essential part of our day and one that we will truly never forget. We will always look back on our pictures and know the day was documented perfectly. You two are wonderful and I really wish you lived closer! ;) Thank you again.”
-Wendy & Tom
Chayah & Mike | Lareau Farm Inn | Waitsfield, VT
“It has been months now since our wedding day, and when we look back at the choices we made for that big day, our investment in your photography was one of the few that still seems absolutely indispensable. Beginning with our first meeting, you not only listened to our thoughts, but helped us grow our vision with your knowledge, experience, and artistry. When our wedding day came, you maneuvered 100+ people and a whole farm worth of space with ease. You captured literally hundreds of gorgeous images, perfectly composed. But you also did something even more extraordinary than that–you captured moments that so perfectly represent us, our family, our love, and the energy of our marriage. More people than we can count have told us that ours are the best wedding pictures they’ve ever seen. We are, of course, biased, but we’d have to agree. Without question, we can say that we’ve found the people who we hope will document our important moments for years to come. Thank you so much.” -Chayah & Mike
Emelia & Tony | Vermont National Country Club | Burlington, VT
“I am absolutely and literally brought to tears of joy over the beauty and artistry of your photos. You two are true talents with a future bound only by your capacity to dream!! Not only are the photos amazing, but the pleasure of your company while you worked to capture every single little detail is beyond compare. The Parker Clan feels as though we have been blessed with two new “kids”……or siblings depending on your generation!
How can one even begin to thank the two of you??? Except that Emily has stated that you have gone to the tippy top of her referral list!! Hope we can chat on the phone next week!! Hugs to you both!”
-Kendree (mother of the bride)
Cat & Ross | Wolfeboro Inn | Wolfeboro, NH
“Katie and Max did an AMAZING job capturing our wedding. Their documentary photography is top-notch. With a fantastic eye for everything from the details of your cake to that really important moment of you walking down the aisle, they are like photo ninjas–during the ceremony I never once saw or heard them photographing us… they were so inconspicuous. They are incredibly friendly and calm. These two are the people you want to have photographing your wedding, hands down. They are so easy to be around even amidst all the day-of chaos. They really made things comfortable for everyone. All of our wedding guests kept commenting on how great they were. And they work fantastically together. I highly recommend hiring Katie and Max to document your day.”
-Cat
Christina & Ian | Dimond Hill Farm | Hopkinton, NH
“We can’t thank you enough for your hard work. Everyone said you were the most dedicated photographers they’ve seen! ;) I hope you also had a good time and enjoyed the food! I can’t believe it’s already over, but thanks to you two, we will always have fabulous pictures.
I’m recommending you to all my friends and hopefully we an hang out sometime (once I discover the Concord hot spots). You are such a lovely couple, it was a total joy getting to meet you. Talk to you soon!”
-Christina
Hillary & George | Newton All Music Conservatory | Newton, MA
“It was SUCH a delight to have you guys serve as our wedding photographers. Our initial meeting was really helpful to coordinate all the details and make sure we were on the same page for our vision of how the photography would go. When our date approached, it was so helpful to have you reach out to us and check in regularly. You worked absolutely TIRELESSLY throughout our wedding day’s events, your energy as wedding photographers astounded.
Our photos were amazing!! I absolutely love, love, love your style. In short, everything about working with you two was ideal, from the initial inquiry to the preparation meetings to the actual wedding day and the beautiful, meaningful final results. We will forever cherish the photographs you took, and would recommend you to other future brides and grooms without hesitation.” -Hillary & George
Scott & Laurie | Common Man / Italian Farmhouse | Plymouth, NH
“Katie and Max didn’t just take photos of our wedding. They captured the spirit of the event. What truly impressed us were the little moments they managed to document–the goofy dance moves, the chaos of the hora, the look on the bride’s face as she gazed at her father, just before they walked down the aisle. Frankly, I don’t know how they did it.
Obviously, Katie and Max are very good at what they do, but more than that, they’re just such nice people. My wife and I couldn’t recommend them any more highly.”
-Scott & Laurie
