Scarlet Roots

Swampscott, MA
  • Photographer
  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $6,000

My photography career started 7 years ago in the editorial world - shooting for big brands like Sephora, Miller Coors, T-Mobile, and Wanderlust. Commercial work was cool and all… until I shot my first wedding. I just knew by the happiness bubbling up in my heart that THIS is the industry I was made for. Being surrounded by happiness and love on such a meaningful day is SO fulfilling and inspiring to me. I absolutely adore my job, and I’m so freakin’ grateful to have the honor of documenting such a special occasion for you.

Jules is the absolute best - it's as simple as that. From the moment we hired her for our wedding, we knew that we had made the right choice. Jules goes above and beyond for her couples - She truly cares about you and is there as a friend through the whole process. Not only is she an exceptionally skilled photographer, she is an incredible human being who gives so much love to the couples that she works with. On the day of our wedding, she brought such a peaceful and upbeat presence and it was beyond amazing to have her with us every step of the way. We trusted her to capture all of our special moments and she exceeded all of our expectations. When looking back at the photos, we are overwhelmed with gratitude. She captured our relationship and wedding day so authentically - we are able to relive every moment and emotion that we felt when looking back at the photos for years to come... and that is all thanks to Scarlet Roots. Update: It's been over a year since our wedding and every time we look at our wedding photos, we are BLOWN AWAY by how well she captured us and our day. The photos never cease to amaze us and we find new favorites all the time. Hiring Jules was one of the best wedding planning decisions we made and we are just SO grateful to know such a phenomenal artist like her. You need Jules in your life ASAP. :)

We got married here on Sunday 9/29 and I really can’t say enough good things about this space. The team was great to work with and all of our guests were so impressed by the space because it’s not like anything else really. I LOVED having the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception all in one room because we wasted almost no part of our day shepherding folks from place to place. The caterer recommended to us, Premier, was also amazing and they were on it and had many great suggestions to make the day as great as possible as they work in the space often. If you want outdoor photos before we found two great little parks to work with and ended up doing our first look and family portraits at “Leather City Commons” which is a three minute drive down the street. Then the two of us walked the ten minute walk back to Olio from there and got some great photos by Peabody City Hall and there are truly a plethora of great brick walls to choose from for a good backdrop! For getting ready we stayed at the Bell Inn and Tavern and their team was also amazing! I got ready in a Junior King Suite my parents were staying in and their team flipped the bridal suite early (as they had a wedding party the night before) so we could do bridal portraits with the moms and my sister. My husband and I stayed there that night and the room is gorgeous. My only regret with that space is we didn’t stay longer because it was so beautiful!!! (And the room service food we ordered from the tavern for lunch was great!) Shout out specifically to Kelsey and Heather for all of their help. Logistically I was a little nervous about it being in Peabody as we live closer to Boston but parking is free on Sundays and folks could Uber easily to the venue. Many out of town folks loved being able to stay near Salem to make it a great weekend trip. Last, I cannot recommend enough having a day of coordinator. I know Sarah who runs Olio has her own planning company and would be amazing to work with. I was lucky enough to have an amazing coworker and friend who helped me out and I literally gave him a binder with everything and I did not stress about anything for the entire day. I did not see my cell phone or get asked a single logistics question all day and it was GLORIOUS. I think that covers everything and will absolutely update if I think of anything else that can help out future brides considering this great space!!!

Scott was amazing for our wedding!! We were originally going to have our wedding in October of 2020 but with the pandemic we rescheduled for November of 2021. During the whole process of having to change dates, Scott was responsive and supportive. In the beginning we only booked him for our reception but realized a few months before the wedding we would need someone for the ceremony and cocktail hour. He was very accommodating and gave a extremely fair add on price for the extra time. The day of he was more than I could ever imagine! Our wedding was Disney themed and he listened to all our requests with no judgement. I am not someone who likes to dance, but I was out on the dance floor almost the whole reception!! The music was just what we were looking for and was very accommodating to my sensory needs. We also booked the magic mirror photobooth as a surprise for the guests and it was MAGICAL. Everyone at the wedding said it was their favorite part of the whole night. I am so thankful we booked Scott for our wedding!

Corinne and Molly made our day so seamless to the point where my husband and I could focus on us and our guests. From our first meeting to the day, they worked through hiccups with vendors that we would have missed and gave us amazing recommendations to make our wedding day perfect. We came ready and prepared with all of our vendors, and they stitched up the final communications for the wedding and made it so seamless, even finding another vendor for napkins 2 hours before the day started because ours forgot them! Not only are they amazing coordinators, but they're amazing people. Any communication that we had with Corinne and/or Molly felt so curated to us, and although we knew that they were coordinating other weddings, it felt that they had all their efforts focused on us. We got married 2 weeks ago and cannot stop talking about how amazing our day was because of them! Fun story as well, my bustle kept falling every 10 seconds and right before our grand entrance I decided to just cut the dress, and Corinne came down with scissors ready to be a seamstress! Anything we needed they always said yes to and we could not have been more grateful to them.

Beverly, MA
  • Venue
  • Up to 150 guests
  • Raw space
  • Outdoor
  • Starts at $6,500

Elegant plantings and cultivated grounds fill this public garden with vibrancy that's more than a century in the making. Long Hill is a property of The Trustees of Reservations, a Massachusetts non-profit corporation. From 1916 to 1979, Long Hill was the summer home of noted author and editor of The Atlantic Monthly, Ellery Sedgwick. He summered here with his first wife, Mabel Cabot Sedgwick, an accomplished horticulturist, gardener, and author of The Garden Month by Month, and his second wife, Marjorie Russell Sedgwick, a rare plants specialist—both of whom created a delightful, enchanting landscape, surrounded by more than 100 acres of woodland. Today, visitors delight in the beauty of Long Hill’s structured and naturalistic gardens as well as a network of woodland trails. A diverse collection of trees, shrubs, and distinctive perennial plants provide color during the growing season, peaking in May and June and providing structure and beauty throughout the year.

Why you'll love this venue

  • Raw space for complete customization
  • Exudes old-world charm
  • Natural elegance with open spaces

Venue considerations

  • Does not have a dance floor
  • Lighting and sound are not included
  • Limited cleanup and setup services
Awarded Best of Zola
Long Hill was a dream, it felt like a private fairy garden. Gorgeous location and the perfect size for us to take photos privately and guests to explore but not feel too far away (for wrangling from cocktail hour to dinner for example). The Long Hill staff were super communicative and responsive, sometimes a little stressful to work with as it felt like there were a number of restrictions but this really translated to a very stream-lined and well-organized wedding day as they brought up any potential issues early and then on the actual day they were super, super supportive and great to work with. They do have a list of 5 set caterers you need to work with, we were given an exception because of a dietary restriction my in-laws have (need to pay a 1000 fee), but this was tricky as Long Hill expects caterers to take on much more than just food. You'll also want to rent a dance floor (700 in the area) as the under tent area is brick. We had 115 of us total with buffet & dance floor, it was cozy & lovely but any more than 120 would feel tight to me. We were able to have a ceremony for an extra 1000 and then the reception was 5,200 for 5-10 on a Friday. In addition to the gorgeous gardens and beautiful cocktail area off the porch, we could take photos inside which was really lovely and a great break from the heat (our wedding day was 85 and VERY humid). Felt very professionally run and they worked well with my dear friend who was our day-of-coordinator and we just feel extremely grateful to have such a gorgeous location!

Garden inspired and organically styled floral arrangements for weddings and events- located north of Boston and servicing the New England area. Owner and artist Ashley has 11 years of design experience in the floral industry, along with a background in horticulture, and general love for all things natural and wild. Dazy Florals is dedicated to utilizing sustainable practices and beautiful locally grown blooms, New England season permitting.

Awarded Best of Zola
You don’t come across someone with this much dedication, passion, craftsmanship, knowledge, and genuine love for their art often. Ashley is truly gifted in all things florals, and every piece she made for me, including my trials, had my jaw drop and moved my family to tears. She puts her heart into every flower she tends to, and you can see it in the intricacies of her work. She’s an artist, and these are her little masterpieces. I’ve grown to respect florals on a new level thanks to her. She knows so much about each flower (even their science names!), how to pair textures, coordinate colors, balance shapes and sizes—she’s making a work of art. So in terms of honoring your vision and creating something magical, trust Ashley with your whole heart. Now comes to the administrative work. Just when I thought I couldn’t love Ashley more, she created slide deck presentations (oh yes, you read that right) on what I was looking for/my inspo, provided updated proposals every time I added something new to my ask, triple-checked any time I made a change, and was extremely communicative, professional, and responsive. My fastest vendor when it came to email. And I’ll admit, I wasn’t an easy client. I went from having no wedding party to having 5 bridesmaids and 5 groomsmen. I went from no ceremony florals to decorating the whole aisle. (I couldn’t help myself since Ashley has such reasonable prices I could actually afford my dream florals, but also once again, my trials were so beautiful, I couldn’t resist). I changed colors, visions, ideas, and emailed her more times than I can count over the course of many months, and Ashley followed it to a T and kept track of it all. Ashley showed up to a walkthrough at my venue that was super far just to get to know the space and guide where florals would work best, taking notes, asking questions, and going above and beyond. She didn't need to do that for us. She did anyway. She kept up with all my asks and updates flawlessly. And on the day, she nailed every single item from boutonniere to bud vase. Side notes: I had a rosary blessed by the Pope for my wedding, and Ashley handled it with such respect, integrity, and reverence. That says a lot about a person. My mom, who has worked in florals and crafts for a long time, was speechless when she saw the work Ashley created. When she looked at the internal workings and weaving, she noted just how much time she must have spent handcrafting my floral crown. When I was walking out with my trial bouquet, I literally had a stranger stop me in my tracks to ask where on Earth I got such beautiful florals and if he can get some himself. Every time we met, Ashley would bring a little bouquet for me, which was such a cute gesture. I secretly dried all of them to keep. And finally, Ashley herself. She is caring, tender, sweet, creative, and extremely hardworking. We believe she is blessed by God Himself lol. (But actually, though. She has a gift.) Her talent is unbelievable. I had a special request for a floral crown, and it was THE talk of the night. People would come over and poke it because they couldn’t believe it was real. Ultimately, if there were more vendors like Ashley, there would be much happier, less stressed brides in the world. And if there were more people like Ashley in general, the world would be a better place. I will miss her. Enjoy her and her florals for me. Let them take your breath away, they will.

I am so incredibly happy that we had Paige with Prestige Beauty Artistry with us our hair and makeup for our wedding. She was so communicative and helped me make my vision come true! Because we were planning from across the country, I did not have time for a trial run for my hair and makeup. Regardless, Paige was able to do do both perfectly with a few photos as references! Myself, two bridesmaids, mom, and mother in law don't normally wear makeup and were looking for a natural style and it turned our perfectly! My hair and makeup were flawless all night without having to fuss or do any touchups. Additionally, the timeline Paige made for us worked perfectly and our morning went as smoothly as it could go! Paige was a large part of why our day felt so perfect. I would definitely recommend her for your wedding!!!

Video exists in my life as an extension of everything I love about photography. Something drew me to it, and with the ever expanding video modes of my photo cameras, practice became commonplace. Being able to tell storying audibly as well as visually adds a level of depth that is hard to reach within photography. You can feel the story take you through a place in time. Moment capturing in all its beauty.

You won't just love Alex's photography, but you'll love working with him too. Half the stress of planning a wedding is communicating with vendors, but Alex was a dream to collaborate with - he listened to all our ideas and executed them perfectly. We're thrilled with how our pictures turned out and highly recommend Alex Cole Weddings to any couple looking for a talented, professional, and personable photographer.

Hi, I'm Jess! I'm a wedding photographer who loves capturing real love stories. My style is relaxed, joyful, and focused on those unscripted moments that make your day unique. Let's create timeless photos together!

I am so glad my husband and I found Jess for our wedding day photographer! She was amazing to work with from the start, she was always quick to reply and even was willing to meet with us in person before our wedding to get to know each other! Despite our rainy outdoor beach wedding, Jess remained calm and professional, and kept everyone on track, and didn't let the weather ruin her enthusiasm for taking our photos that we will cherish forever! We look forward to working with Jess again in the future!

We are as invested in your wedding as you are! My team and I strive to create a comfortable, trusting environment for all of our couples by connecting before we even start shooting, building a friendship where being in front of the camera is fun and easy and your vision is brought to life. In other words, I would like your experience with us to be the least stressful part of your wedding day. There will be posing and direction, but we pride ourselves on our unobtrusive, candid style. After all, you are the stars of the day, but you don’t need to feel the cameras in your face all the time.

Awarded Best of Zola
Where to start? My husband and I hired Jess and her team for photography and videography after connecting on Instagram. I fell in love with her overall style and ability to authentically capture the day for what it is. Aside from her professional ability, Jess is such a kind person who made us feel completely comfortable being ourselves. We were able to fully take in our big day and felt like we were hanging out with friends who were taking our picture. Along with some inspo shots I provided, allowing Jess to have total creative freedom led to a fun, timeless and classic wedding album we will cherish for years to come. Thank you to Jess, Evan, Mike and William for being a part of our day and creating magic!

Melissa did both my hair and makeup (and lash extensions) for my engagement photos, bridal shower, and wedding. Both my hair and makeup held up better than I could have imagined during our hot July wedding and I'm so grateful. She's super thoughtful, loves what she does and made the whole "getting ready" experience so relaxing. I don't want to have photos taken again without her magic, she's incredible! She is super easy to communicate with and always responds in a timely manner and is so pleasant to talk to. Thank you Melissa!

I’m a Virginia transplant who makes her home north of Boston shooting micro-weddings and elopements. I’m obsessed with the diversity and energy of the city, but also with how easy it is to escape to nature in New England. As an introvert, I definitely need both! I’m married to a handsome fellow creative (of the wordsmithing and storytelling variety) and we love our homebody life together. I’m a photographer because I think people are fascinating. Because memories are fleeting. Because we all need some beauty around us to help us remember how incredibly blessed we are to be alive.

Awarded Best of Zola
My wife and I had the pleasure of working with Lorna Stell as our wedding photographer, and I can confidently say that she deserves a solid 5-star review. Lorna's talent for capturing candid moments is truly exceptional. She has an innate ability to seize those precious, unscripted moments that make wedding memories so special. What sets Lorna apart is not just her skill behind the camera but also her wonderful personality. She made us feel incredibly at ease throughout the day, and her friendly demeanor put everyone in the wedding party at ease. Working with her was an absolute joy, and it felt like having a friend alongside us as we celebrated our special day. If you're looking for a wedding photographer who combines exceptional photography skills with a warm and approachable personality, Lorna Stell is the one. She exceeded our expectations in every way, and we are forever grateful for the stunning memories she has captured for us. We can't recommend her enough!
