VMG Weddings is a New England production company who take pride in capturing memories in the form of a video and photography just as they were captured to cherish for a lifetime. We specialize in cinematic storytelling that highlights the love story of the day. The cinematic style paired with how well we work together and the unobstructed way of capturing helps VMG excel at producing quality wedding and event to be cherished for a lifetime.

I cannot say enough good things about the whole team at VMG Productions. Everything from start to finish was professional, kind and exactly what we were hoping for in a videographer. On our wedding day, we barely even noticed the team filming us and it felt extremely authentic. Des and Jon felt like friends attending our wedding (in the best way possible) and we felt so comfortable around them. Our friends and family shared that same review as well and even told us our wedding video was the best they've seen (we tend to agree). Matt was so wonderful to communicate with throughout this entire process and our wedding video is truly straight out of our dreams. Thank you so much to the entire team!!! We are eternally grateful.

As many people know, hobbies change and It took me a while to find my way to the art of photography because new things can be scary, right? I thought photography might be one of those things I can say I tried. I didn’t expect it to spark A passion in me and lead to my career. After learning everything I could, I put myself out there- and I’m so glad I did. I have met some incredible people who have let me look into and capture their lives- personal moments, happy moments, silly moments- it has all been amazing

Devin took our engagement and wedding photos, and they're all incredible. She's professional but fun, with an incredible eye for unique and stunning shots. Many of our wedding guests even commented on how fantastic of a job she and her second shooter did throughout the ceremony and reception. Thank you for capturing the best day of our lives; we'll cherish these memories forever!

I have always loved to create. My grandfather called me his little tinker, a reference to travelers in Ireland known for fixing things and selling their arts and crafts. My work is inspired by relationships, travel and living life. All done by one Maine woman, the Maine Tinker. I create a vision that reflects their distinct personality, while paying attention to small details of each celebration, along with the grand details. All photos are taken and processed by me, not out side contracting is done, so it truly is a local Maine Business. please visit www.themainetinker.com

Siobhan photographed our wedding in October 2024 and she is the best. You spend a lot of time with your photographer on your wedding day and it was a pleasure to spend the day with Siobhan. She was such a calming presence for me, and she made taking photos enjoyable. She will make sure she gets all the shots you requested while also giving perfect suggestions for photo spots, timing, etc. I can't recommend Siobhan enough!

  • Serves South Portland, ME

Weddings are such a beautiful event and I get so thrilled to capture those special moments for the couple as well as their guests that will last forever. I enjoy working with people to make the most out of their entire experience.

Jack went above and beyond. He met with us before the wedding to fine tune what we wanted and get to know us. He came to the rehearsal to figure out lighting and meet the “important people” haha. He also checked out our venue for reception before wedding and met our wedding coordinator! We had a cocktail hour while we did pictures so he was able to hire a second shooter as well if you needed such. The electricity went out at the church right before the ceremony and he was a pro- pictures turned out great! Really felt like he cared so much and put so much into our big day and really captured the best moments and had great ideas when doing our couples pictures after ceremony. The wedding is gone before you know it but the pictures last forever! THANK YOU JACK!!

Tide and True Photography 

5.0

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $4,500
  • Serves South Portland, ME

I'm a Maine-based photographer who loves love and finds great joy in capturing it! I describe my style as documentary-based, I'm there to capture all the small moments, that shines through when looking back at your big day.

I went into wedding planning knowing that, aside from my venue, my photographer was going to be the most important vendor decision for me. The way I see it, after the day is done and the bouquets have wilted, the only thing I have left to remember the magic of the day is photos. I wanted them to be great and I wanted a photographer who would add to the day instead of just photograph it. Tim did that. I looked through maybe 30 different photographers' galleries and met with maybe 10 before finding Tim and knew from our first conversation that I'd found our photographer. And I am so very pleased that Tim was part of our day. Every step of the way, Tim was wonderful to work with. He answered every question I had and shared ideas leading up to the day. He was super pleasant, knowledgeable, and obviously devoted to his craft. He was communicative and helpful in thinking about parts of the day that I initially hadn't even considered.  On the actual wedding day, Tim was legitimately a huge part of keeping things on track and fun. Multiple people in our wedding party stopped me throughout the day to tell me how awesome and efficient he was and he honestly kept me laughing through most of the early part of the day. I can honestly say I wasn't too stressed that morning and Tim helped create that atmosphere for me and my bridal party. Even my matron of honor, who is also a wedding photographer herself, applauded my decision in working with Tim and spoke about how quick, calm, helpful and thoughtful he was. And my sister thinks he's basically magic because he pulled a makeup light out of nowhere when she wanted to check the makeup she'd done for me and handed another girl tiny scissors when she needed to trim hanger straps off her dress.  The sneak peeks I've gotten from our gallery have me so excited to see everything Tim captured and I know I'm going to be looking back on his photos for years to come. They'll help me relive one of the happiest days of my life and I'm so grateful for that. Were I planning this wedding again, I'd hire Tim again in a heartbeat. For the photos and for the unique energy he brought for the day, he was perfect for us!

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.

My heart beats for real, authentic moments—the kind where love and laughter come effortlessly.

Awarded Best of Zola
Felisha is one of the most kind, thoughtful, and insightful photographers who you could possibly hope to work with on your big day. In our first phone call with Felisha, it was clear that she was looking for a connection with her potential clients; she wasn’t trying to sell us her portfolio, and she wasn’t trying to gauge our budget. If you’re looking for a storyteller and someone who wants to build a meaningful connection with their clients, look no further! We wanted a partner in our photographer, someone who could look beyond the standard wedding portraits and find those special, candid moments that we would be missing among all the distractions of the day – and Felisha delivered. From start to finish, we felt like Felisha had our backs and was looking out for our best interests. She listened to us and gave us whatever it was needed on our big day at that moment – whether it was relief from the stresses of the wedding day timeline or a break from the business of our reception. When it came time to review the gallery, we were blown away by the details she captured. It was incredibly special not only to see the beauty captured in the moments, but the feeling we got in our hearts as we relived our wedding weekend. It’s a feeling we hope to hold on to for as long as we can, and Felisha truly helped to make our vision a reality!

Awarded Best of Zola
Elizabeth was the perfect photographer for our wedding! From our initial meeting, I knew she was the most qualified, prepared, and detailed oriented person for the job! She was so organized, and helped our day go super smooth. She provided questionnaires for us to make sure we were on the same page, and knew our values. We met a week before the wedding to go over details, and prepare for the big day which made us get super excited for everything too! My husband and I were a little nervous being the center of attention and in front of the camera the entire day, but she made us feel so comfortable and natural! She was familiar with our Church, and took the extra step to go to our venue prior to the wedding to familiarize herself with that setting as well! I did not even get started on how BEAUTIFUL the pictures came out! Her pictures can be described as light, airy, and fun! We could not believe how stunning and perfect she captured our day. We have gotten so many compliments on the style and edits of our photos. She even writes a blog with her pictures that summarize the day and captures all the moments! Elizabeth gave us the sneak peak 3 days after the wedding which was so fun to go through during our honeymoon, and was early to send us our final images back. I can't wait to use her for future life events, and will highly recommend her to everyone anywhere and especially in the southern NH area!!

Every weekend you'll find me oohing over a wedding dress, and holding my breath for the first moment the groom sees the bride. The wedding style I like the most is candid, but I definitely don't mind posing a nervous couple, or arranging that perfect artistic shot before the light changes. I am patient, calm, and encouraging... I think I get along with everyone... I'm like the nerdy extra bridesmaid with a really killer camera.

We used Sarah as our wedding photographer this past weekend and she was amazing! She was prompt and focused and ready to get some shots! I gave her what I had for some flat layout shots with our shoes, invitation etc, and she did such a good job putting it together. We also have so many photos from our first look to choose from as well as inside our venue. She sent us our photos in record time and I can't wait to go through them again!
