Lena Mirisola Photography

Lena was the best! She was by far my favorite person to work with. As someone who doesn't love taking pictures she made it easy! It never felt forced. All of our photos captured our essence. She is also such a blast and just a great addition to any party!

Lena was truly the photographer of my dreams. She is an absolute professional. Lena is fantastic at what she does and will bring an unmatched energy and so much joy to your big day. I normally do not love being in front of a camera, but she made it easy and actually fun. I can’t stop looking at our wedding pics because they are just too gorgeous. If you are looking for a photographer, just stop and reach out to Lena now! Cannot recommend her enough.

If you want to have a genuinely fun time taking photos on your special day… hire Lena ASAP! She was hands down the most important decision we made for our wedding day. My husband and I chose to “elope” with a mini outdoor ceremony downtown Boston — and Lena provided us recommendations for other vendors (justice of the peace, hair/makeup, flowers, etc) to make the entire process easy and stress free. Day of, Lena’s energetic spirit made us all feel so comfortable in front of the camera (no small feat) and we are obsessed with the end result. Because she took the time to really understand our vision, we ended up with beautiful, fun, authentic photos that feel like us as a couple. Oh, and she was supportive of our dog being part of it all, too! I feel so incredibly lucky we found her and honestly couldn’t imagine our wedding day without her being apart of it. Hire Lena before her schedule books up!!

We had the pleasure of having Lena as our wedding photographer and from beginning to end, she made the entire experience amazing and brought such a light and positive energy into the chaos of wedding planning! Lena is not only a talented photographer, but also a true professional. Her attention to detail and ability to capture the most intimate and beautiful moments for both our engagement and wedding day was remarkable. She made us feel at ease and we couldn't have wished for a better photographer and hype woman!! Highly recommend Lena to anyone looking for an unforgettable, one-of-a-kind experience!!

Choosing Lena as our photographer was the first and most important step of our wedding planning process. It also turned out to be the best decision we could have made—one that would mold our moods during and memories of our rehearsal dinner and wedding day. We stumbled upon Lena's brilliant work at the very outset of our wedding planning. At the time, we were thinking of getting married on Martha's Vineyard and were awed by the ease with which she captured the essence of the island juxtaposed with joyous couples. As our wedding plans evolved, and shifted several states, we worried that we wouldn't be able to engage her to travel. Luckily, those worries proved to be for not. When we first met Lena, she was more than game to travel to New York City for our wedding weekend. Moreover, she immediately put two women who have never felt comfortable in front of the camera at ease. She didn't just signal virtues of love and inclusivity—she lived them, as evidenced through the countless same sex couples she featured proudly on her website and our wonderful experience with her. As our wedding weekend arrived, and the inevitable nerves took hold, Lena was our calm within the storm. And we mean that quite literally—a last minute change rerouted our rehearsal dinner to a chartered sail around the New York Harbor during a rainstorm. Lena was unflappable, capturing candids of our friends and family as assuredly as if she was on land. Her good humor, excitement, and sheer professionalism melted away any wedding weekend jitters and let us finally relax. When our wedding day dawned (again, rainy), Lena was the consummate pro, scouting new locations for our first look while capturing dreamy flat lay compositions. She moved through our wedding and family groupings with ease, making sure that the perfect shot wasn't marred by an inadvertent yawn or closed eye. Our saddest moment on our wedding day? When Lena had to bid us goodbye from the dance floor. But that sadness melted away the second we got our sneak peek the next morning and when we received our full album in the weeks that followed. Anyone who has seen her work knows that Lena can capture an incredible image. But looking at our wedding gallery, we felt a sense of awe at Lena's artistry. She managed to suffuse every image with joy, love, and laughter. Looking back at our wedding pictures, we know there is no other photographer who could have done what Lena did. She worked tirelessly with two brides who were uncomfortable posing on their own, let alone with one another, to capture some of our happiest memories. And she did it all with grace, humor, and aplomb. For her artistry, humor, and unflappable professionalism, we wholeheartedly recommend Lena as a wedding photographer.

My husband and I got married at Boston city hall in August, and we had Lena as our photographer for the day. We loved her vision, her spirit, and her energy, not to mention her unbelievable talent. If you want a truly passionate and creative photographer for your wedding day, I couldn’t recommend Lena enough. She made our day so incredibly special. And we get to relive that day over and over every time we look at our photos. I’m talking bridal magazine quality photos. And she made the day so fun! Like I said, I can’t recommend her enough. One million stars.

This review is long overdue! But Lena is everything you want in a wedding photographer! She is beyond professional, on top of her sh!t, and her photos are amazing! If Lena is free on your wedding day and you are interested, you NEED to book her NOW! Not only will you have the most fabulous wedding photos but you also get the best hype women out there! Thank you Lena for being one bad a$$ photographer and a phenomenal human!

Where do I even begin? I had the opportunity to work with Lena on a September 2022 wedding at OceanCliff in Newport, RI. Lena was a true joy from our first interaction through the wedding day! She was a committed partner in mapping out all logistics on the photography front leading up to the big day as well as making the couple's photography vision come to life in the most magical way. She made the couple feel comfortable & extra special on one of the best days of their lives. Lena's energy is CONTAGIOUS and she will bring nothing but positive vibes. Not to mention, she's extremely talented & her photography is STUNNING. If you are looking for a photographer for 2023 or 2024, contact her ASAP! You will not regret it. I'm pumped to be working with her again in 2024 (& hopefully soon before that too)!

I'm so happy the stars (and moon!) aligned for Lena to be our wedding photographer. Our original photographer had canceled just a few months before our wedding. I immediately reached out to Lena to see if she was still available, she quickly hopped on a call with me to alleviate my stress and our contract was signed later that day. From the moment Lena responded, I knew we would be in good hands. You spend more time with your photographer than some of your guests, so it is so important you can feed off each other's energy (and energy is something Lena has!) and communicate clearly. Lena is a sweet, thoughtful, insanely talented, hilarious, hype-woman who can direct even those who feel awkward in front of the camera to capture the most amazing moments. She also goes above and beyond, from helping fluff my massive train to editing out the small details to perfect your photos (like your cousin's High Noon can, or an exit sign at the venue). We received about 40 sneak peaks the next day, and only had to wait a month for the full gallery of over 700 photos (which is unheard of, but SHE IS THE BEST). There were hundreds of beautiful photos, not only the classic portraits or formal photos, but all the details and candids that showcased the genuine emotion of our friends and family. Every time I look, I find a new favorite in the bunch. We are so thankful Lena was there to capture and tell the story of our day. If photography is a priority for your wedding, book Lena ASAP!

If you’re in the market for a wedding photographer, look no further. Lena was hands down the best choice we made amidst the sea of chaos that was our wedding planning. When we first started the process of looking for a wedding photographer, we were overwhelmed by the multitude of options. That said, being an artist myself, it was important to me that our pictures of our wedding day had a very specific look. I knew what it was in my head, but couldn’t quite put it into words. Enter Lena. We found Lena on Instagram and we instantly fell in love with her aesthetic, the artistic detail in each photo, and I remember commenting how each couple she shot felt unique, each post was absolutely aesthetically Lena, but I could tell instantly who the couple was by just looking at the pictures. It was also important to us to find someone who identified as queer, and or an ally to our community. So, we met Lena for parmesan truffle fries at our favorite dive bar, and the rest is history. Our planning was tumultuous. We had to cancel our wedding twice due to Covid, so Lena has been in our lives since 2019. While we couldn’t be more thrilled with our wedding day pictures (seriously every picture) – you hire Lena for the experience, for the sharing of recipes, for the Christmas holiday present drop offs, for the support of knowing you are hiring someone who doesn’t just look at her couples as a contract, rather as an integral part to both her artistic process, but more importantly her life. There is no doubt Lena will be in our lives for quite some time. Invest in Lena because she’s more than just an incredible artist, she’s an integral part of one of the happiest, most joyful days of your life.

Lena is by far the best decision you will make in your wedding planning. She is so helpful, kind, talented, attentive - I really don't have enough good things to say about her. She really listens to what you are looking for as a couple. She came to NYC to meet us for our engagement shoot, made us feel so comfortable - and on the actual day of the wedding, everything was a breeze. Our families loved her as well. the BEST!

Lena is supremely talented, professional, responsive, hilarious, warm, compassionate, and is someone who you can tell was called to their profession. A photographer was the vendor we were most picky about, and we picked Lena because her style speaks for itself and her personality was the perfect fit for us. We loved how her photos cover the spectrum, ranging from fun, loud moments popping champagne, to the quieter moments with our family, to capturing our real essence as a couple. She made us feel like the best version of ourselves and both our engagement shoot and wedding day were so much fun. Lena was always incredibly clear and responsive over email and she is clearly beloved by the greater Boston wedding community - everyone in our vendor squad was excited to hear Lena was a part of our day. She really goes above and beyond to deliver for her couples...we got a sneak peak of photos less than 24 hours after we said I do, and the full gallery in about a month.... AND she literally buttoned up the dozens of buttons on the back of my dress when we were running too behind to watch the YouTube video of buttoning instructions. She can really do it all. Picking Lena was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding and we can't recommend her enough!! She is an absolute delight of a photographer and a human being.

Hiring Lena is the best decision you can make during the wedding planning process. She isn’t just supremely talented, she will make sure you have FUN on your wedding day. You don’t realize just how much time you and your spouse will be spending with your photographer, and one of Lena’s most valuable attributes is that you actually want to hang out with her – if she wasn’t our photog, I’d have had her as a guest! She brings amazing energy and a great sense of humor, which ensures the smiles she’s capturing are genuine – nothing feels stiff, posed or awkward. We had a blast with Lena during the looooong period between our engagement shoot and our wedding (thanks to a COVID postponement), and we really feel like we gained a friend in the process. She had our entire wedding party and families laughing the day of, and let me tell you, she is an ace when it comes to keeping you on schedule. We were running close to 45 minutes behind for our first look and pre-ceremony pictures, and Lena wrangled everyone with such efficiency that she got all the shots she needed and wrapped up 15 minutes AHEAD of schedule. Most importantly, the final result is outstanding. Our wedding album was delivered so quickly – 900+ perfectly edited shots that were so gorgeous and natural, and truly captured the joy, energy and emotion of the day. Many of our family and friends have asked to watch slideshows of the album with us, and every single one has paused at some point during the show to comment on just how incredible our photographer was.

Lena was a really amazing wedding photographer and our guests still tell us how impressed they were by her professionalism. She took us through the photos we needed in a really relaxed manner and she was so excited when she got the shots she needed! It was really fun working with her to take photos before the ceremony started. During the ceremony and reception, she and her second shooter were always available if we wanted to get a picture with a certain guest, but they were never being obtrusive or in the way. They were both a pleasure to work with and we would definitely recommend going with Lena for your photography needs! Our sneak peak photos look beautiful and we are really excited to see the full set soon.

You can really see the love" is something we hear all the time when people look at our wedding photos. How do you even begin to describe the many talents of Lena Mirisola? Funny, outgoing, high energy and with a talent for making everyone feel so comfortable in front of a camera; before you even know what has happened, Lena's engaging personality disarms and takes charge and photos are taken before you know what happened. Behind her casual fun attitude is an amazing talent with an eye for the perfect shot. She is a gifted and talented photographer who takes stunning photos equally matched by her one-of-a-kind personality who bring joy and love to her work. Our wedding took place as the world began to slowly emerge from Covid so not only was our day a celebration of love, it was a celebration of life and opportunity for our most important friends to gather and reunite after nearly 2 years of separation. Every photograph from Lena is a punctuation of joy and with her amazing talent we are able to be transported back to that very moment of our day. And while some of our family could not come from Ireland for our wedding because of travel restrictions, thanks to Lena our family was able to share in our wedding and experience our wedding as if they were there. We knew from the very beginning that we wanted Lena for our wedding. She is invested in every couple and takes the time to get to know them and their story. She is more than a photographer. She's a talent, an artist and most importantly a best friend. My husband and I would never have imagined our day without her.

It's hard to know where to even begin in trying to describe how amazing Lena is - but I truly cannot even imagine our wedding day without her. We hired Lena in 2019 for an August 2020 wedding, and she stuck right there with us through 3 postponements until we could finally get our international family here to celebrate this June 2022. Lena was so much more than just a 'vendor' or 'wedding photographer' through the entire process - she was completely supportive of us and became a friend who we could not wait to spend time with at both our engagement shoot and wedding. Her energy is truly infectious and she was able to engage all of our family, friends our guests (shy or not!) to get amazing photos of everyone. She is extremely talented and her photos are absolutely gorgeous - we are in love with our entire engagement album and have already received sneak peaks of our wedding that are totally sob worthy. Every single one of our wedding guests was blown away by Lena's energy and excitement, and how much fun and enthusiasm she added to the entire day. You spend more time with your wedding photographer on your wedding day than some of your guests, so if you want someone who is going to bring their absolute A game and dance the night away with you, Lena is your girl. I should also mention that she brought along a second shooter Genevieve @genevievephotography_ , and recommended to us our AMAZING videographer Andy Hansen @somefuzzy - and the three of them together were the total and complete dream team. THANK YOU LENA!! Everyone hire Lena - you'll be glad you did!!!

Lena is simply the best of the best. I found her by googling about Boston elopements and set my calendar until we could hire her. She is incredibly responsive during the planning stage and her website is very informative. On our wedding day we had 12 guests, all of whom raved about Lena for days. We were all amazed by her energy and how she made everyone so comfortable. We got all of the family photos we wanted in a short amount of time, so we could spend the rest of the session alone which was perfect. Lena sent us the most gorgeous photos the next day and the rest of our photos less than two weeks later (magic!?) I may be biased but they are the most beautiful photos I have ever seen. Lena was the only "must have" for my wedding day and I am so glad we found her!

We cannot say enough positive things about Lena. She is amazing, talented, organized, repsoinve, and maybe the most enthusiastic person we have ever met haha . When researching wedding photographers, we pretty quickly zeroed in on Lena after looking at her prior work at our venue and scrolling through her impressive Instagram account. In our first phone conversation, we were immediately drawn to her energy and inclusive mindset. Within minutes of ending the call, we formally booked her. Neither of us are super into getting our pictures taken so it was really important to us that we had a photographer that could make this entire experience fun and painless, and that’s exactly what she did! Lena and her second shooter, Rachel, provided an incredible range of photos from your planned posed combinations to candids to amazing decor/scenery images. Some of our favorites are the intimate moments they were able to catch when we thought no one was watching. Lena not only captured the joy of the day but also turned around the sneak peek by the next morning. WHO DOES THAT?! We were able to show our family/friends at the send off brunch and everyone commented how they had to wait weeks/months for any pictures at all. We love our photographs so much and can't help but look at them everyday. Book Lena while you can!! You absolutely will not regret it!

What drew me to Lena (beyond her obviously beautiful photography) were the seemingly endless reviews about her positive energy. After our first shoot with her, I can confidently say that this hype is real. Lena can take nerves and other gunky feelings and wash (or at least distract!) them away. In doing so, she captures magical little moments that are special and unique. Seeing ourselves through her lens was pretty wild because our feelings were visible – we weren’t just cheesing for a basic picture. Her talents are worth investing in, especially if you’re looking for someone to perfectly capture the most meaningful moments in your life.

Where do I begin?! Lena is THE BEST OF THE BEST!!!! Hiring Lena for our wedding photography was the best decision! Lena is an AMAZING photographer (check out her insta, swoon!!) and an even better human! We knew from the moment we looked at her insta and other photos that she was the one for us. Her photography is simply stunning! She is so talented, energetic, and fun, and will bring the best best best energy to your wedding! She goes above and beyond for her couples! She makes you feel so at ease and like you're going to have the best photos ever for your wedding (which you will, duh, I have mine back and OBSESSED). Lena was extremely reachable and responsive, and extremely ORGANIZED! She created a shot list for photographs we wanted to get so nothing was missed. She was organized and in charge on the day of the wedding. She made me and my husband (and all of our wedding party and family!) feel so at ease while we were taking a million photos. I've been in weddings where its a sh!t show coordinating photos, and Lena was the complete opposite. She even provided a list of other vendors she has worked with and was impressed by, incase you needed any other suggestions!! We got our sneak peek photographs back so early the next morning and were in AWE! I die. Gorgeous! We were able to get our entire album of photographs back in an extremely fast and reasonable time. We love our photographs SO SO SO SO SO MUCH and will cherish them forever. HIRE LENA!!!! YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT!!!!! Thank you Lena!!! <3

Lena is an incredibly talented photographer who takes gorgeous photographs and an absolutely amazing, one-of-a-kind person who will bring so much joy and energy to your wedding, and you should (metaphorically) run, not walk, to book her now. Seriously, stop reading this review and go book her now. I found Lena’s website after Googling “how to elope in Boston,” which has a whole section dedicated to all the nitty gritty details for eloping in Boston. Her vivacious energy leaps off the page, her photo galleries are absolutely stunning, and I immediately knew that we had to have her as our photographer (we even changed our date so that Lena could squeeze us into her August schedule). I knew the second that Lena responded to our inquiry that we had picked the right person—she made me feel like we were already good friends and was so helpful in providing all the information that we needed to put together our elopement package. She made the entire process so easy and stress-free and her communication was always timely and incredibly helpful (honestly, she was like a mini-elopement planner, which was exactly what I needed because I had no idea what I was doing). For the day of, we met Lena at the Boston Public Garden and even though this was our first time meeting in person, I felt like I had known her forever. I was feeling awkward/nervous about traipsing around Boston in a wedding dress, but that melted away instantly once Lena started shooting—she somehow managed to make it feel like that was the most natural thing in the world to be doing on a Thursday afternoon. Further, neither myself or my now-husband are very natural in front of a camera and Lena made us feel so comfortable and relaxed. Finally, it was a sweltering 95 degrees (105 heat index, anyone?) and we were absolutely dripping in sweat the entire time and yet you cannot tell, at all, from the pictures (Lena is that good). In the end, we had an absolute blast taking pictures with Lena in the heat and it stands out as one of my favorite parts of our wedding day—Lena is just fun to be around (and absolutely hilarious). And in case you need any more testimonials, our respective families could not stop talking about how amazing Lena was for the rest of the evening and into the next morning at brunch. Four months later and we’re still talking about how amazing the pictures came out and what an absolute TREASURE of a person she is. Again, I cannot recommend Lena highly enough. Book her and I promise you will not be disappointed.

I cannot say enough positive things about Lena. She is an amazing, talented, and simply fantastic to work with. When researching wedding photographers, we pretty quickly zeroed in on Lena. We were so drawn to her energetic and authentic online presence. Everyone in her photos looked so happy and like they were having so much fun!! We wanted to have that much fun on our wedding day :) From the second we started working with her, she immediately made us feel like old friends. As we were planning over email, Lena was incredibly responsive in answering all of our (many!) questions. We still had a lot of details up in the air leading up to the wedding, and Lena gave us thoughtful advice and was so accommodating. When the day of finally arrived, Lena brought the same hype woman energy that she has in her emails, on her website, and on her Instagram. One of the highlights of the wedding day was walking through Beacon Hill doing our couples photos. Lena had a ton of great spots in mind. My husband and I aren't very comfortable in front of the camera, and the idea of posing for a bunch of photos sounds like my nightmare, but Lena made us feel so at ease. We had a ton of fun and spent most of the time laughing!! We also dealt with gale force winds during our family photos. Lena took charge and helped us get them done as quickly as possible, reassuring me that she could photoshop my hair into place (which she did!). When my husband and I were traveling home the day after our wedding, we were surprised to get a ton of "sneak peek" photos from Lena. I mean... So. Fast. It was so fun to get to relive everything the following day. Lena then turned around the final album soon after. They were absolutely amazing. I have no words. We love them!! There wasn't a detail she missed. We're so happy we have them forever to look back on. Working with Lena was worth every penny. Thank you, Lena!!!

The first thing you need to do before picking date, venue, or anything else is see if Lena is available! When we got engaged we thought we were going to get married on Cape Cod and found Lena on Instagram and fell in love with her style and energy. Plans changed and we decided to get married at home in NYC and asked Lena if she would be interested. We are so lucky she said yes! Lena is the absolute best at what she does and was the most amazing hype woman throughout our entire engagement. For months she reassured us and made us feel so special - not just a client among many. When we were finally able to meet her at our postponed engagement shoot in Central Park we knew we made the right decision. She made us feel relaxed, comfortable, and excited for the big day! She was available for panic phone calls / texts / DMs, and did her research on areas we might want to take pictures and poses that would suit us as a couple. When the wedding weekend began it was like meeting up with an old friend. We were lucky enough to hire her for both our rehearsal dinner and our wedding. Her capture of our rehearsal dinner was like receiving an additional wedding album. Lena was able to identify family members, friends, and get those special shots we dreamed of. Her ability to get the entire family and wedding party to relax and engage is unparalleled. We have both been in a lot of weddings and trust us when we say, LENA GOES ABOVE AND BEYOND. One thing that we were a little worried about was the unique (dark) lighting in our venue space, and Lena didn’t bat an eye, saying simply “oh I got this” and she was right. Also, despite never seeing our church before in person, she had researched the best angles - yet another thing she took off our plate. The day after our wedding we woke up to our sneak peak in our email and the full album was delivered soon after (around four weeks post wedding), even during this crazy fully-booked 2021 wedding year! Lena was one of the absolute best decisions we made and we feel like not only did we end up with the absolute best pictures of our engagement, rehearsal, and wedding but we also gained a friend! “Thank you” doesn’t feel sufficient.

LENA is everything you need in a wedding photographer. She is your ULTIMATE HYPE GIRL!!! While planning our wedding I came across her and her inspiring photos of so many happy elopments. Despite the pandemic and the fact that we had to switch plans a few times; from Boston City Hall elopement to Boston Micro Wedding to ultimately eloping in Hawaii. Sadly she could not come with us to Hawaii but we really wanted to meet her. So we met up with her for an engagement photo shoot. Meeting for the first time in real life and having a stranger take photos of you can be intimidating and awkward. But Lena's bubbly personality and charisma made us feel like we've known her for years. She was accommodating and made the experience extra fun and special. I would also like to add we had just gotten a puppy named Mango and wanted to include her in the photos. Of course Mango decided to break her leg the day before the photo shoot. Long story short, Lena got some awesome photos with Mango and her amazing boyfriend Paul went above and beyond and made sure she was taken care of during our time together. Lena was very communicative and supportive through out the whole process. We not only found a photographer but it feels like we also got a new friend.

You need Lena!!! The first thing my husband and I looked at and booked for our elopement was a photographer, and I am so thankful I found Lena's website. She is amazing! Not only are your pictures going to look so good that everyone is going to message you and ask who your photographer was, but you get a super supportive, extremely sweet, hype woman/best friend for the day. Lena makes sure that everything goes great, you get all the shots you want, AND she makes walking around Boston in full wedding gear seem normal! My husband does not like being in front of the camera, but Lena made it easy peasy! He said that he never felt awkward about being in front of the camera at all that day, which is a huge surprise. But just goes to show that Lena definitely has superpowers! Lena is also very responsive! She keeps you in the loop about timing for the ceremony and pictures, as well as answering any question you have as soon as she can without making you feel like your questions/concerns are stupid (even if you feel like they are). Every time I look at our wedding gallery, it's like I'm reliving the day all over again. Lena was able to capture every single emotion we had throughout the afternoon, and it is amazing. Working with Lena was an absolute dream, and if you can, BOOK HER ASAP.

Lena was the first vendor I booked after seeing an absolutely beautiful shot she took for another couple. We used her for our engagement shoot and wedding. She is worth EVERY. PENNY. First things first - she simply has a gift. We are not huge photo takers because we both don't love how we look in pictures. Lena's personality helps with any awkwardness or jitters. We are *obsessed* with how the photos came out. Beyond the quality of her work, she has the process down to a science - getting through photos quickly, without creating stressed or a rushed feeling. Next - Lena always goes the extra mile. She is super responsive and proactively informative (check her blog/Insta). She is also willing to answer any question you have (even if not directly related to photos), which is extremely helpful if you're not working with a wedding planner. She was super patient with us as we tried to create a new plan post-postponement. Even if I was annoying, she never made me feel that way and I really appreciated her willingness to help. Last - you'll feel like you gained a friend through the process. Lena is an absolute blast to be around. Everyone at our wedding raved about how awesome she was. We feel very lucky to have worked with her!!

Invest wisely and choose Lena! Real talk: my partner and I had been, literally, following Lena for a couple of years, dying over her amazing photos. We thought about the price, knew we could find someone who could do our couples photos cheaper. So two years ago, we went with a lower quoted price and we totally regretted it! From that shoot we didn't get *any* pictures we liked, all of them ending up in the digital trash. After that disaster, we booked Lena without reservation. You totally get what you pay for. And with Lena, what you get is a good time and a super responsive and flexible photographer! She was even there for me mere minutes before the photo shoot when I couldn't figure out what to wear. Another reason we feel so strongly about Lena Mirisola Photography is because of her business (and personal) values. If you follow her on Instagram, you know what she emphasizes allyship and inclusivity. I so appreciate her decision to advocate on her business page! We'll be repeat clients of Lena's and I'll recommend her over and over again!

Hey Strangers! You know when you have a friend that gets married and then they talk about how the day goes so fast and they can’t stop looking at their photos and you smile politely and kind of roll your eyes....Well it totally does and I seriously can’t stop OBSESSING over the photos Lena and Genevieve took of our day. She calls herself a hype-woman and I think that is an understatement if possible. From the moment Lena walked into our hotel room she was a total boss and was snapping away. Oh and the best part, it was low key snapping not in your face. Sure she uses you like a prop now and then to get that killer shot with your dress, but 90% of the time you will end up looking at your photos and thinking...How did I not see her there!!?? We picked Lena because her candid shots of guests pulled us in. You can really feel the emotion and energy in her photos and it is clear she is passionate about what she does. She is awesome to be around and can get genuine laughter out of you with her immeasurable enthusiasm. I really can’t say enough other than if you look at her work and get that initial good vibe, don’t let that pass by. Contact her and book her, you will not regret it!

BOOK HER - if you can! We were given Lena's name by a family friend who works with her frequently, and we were lucky enough to get her for our date! Once we looked at her work we immediately gravitated to her photos over the others we were considering. Everyone just looked like they were having fun, which is all we wanted! She was so easy to work with and responsive to questions. We've all heard the horror stories of wedding photos gone wrong, especially not getting them back for months. Not with Lena! We got a bunch of pictures the next morning and then our photos were ready in less than a month after our wedding! Not only did we get a ton of pictures back so soon but every single one of them is gorgeous! As someone who does not love their picture being taken, Lena was the perfect person to make us all feel comfortable with her amazing upbeat energy. She was also fast and efficient making sure she got each shot! Despite the excessive heat of the day, none of our pictures look like we are feeling it! So grateful to have her photos to capture all the beautiful memories of that day!

Words cannot express how grateful I am for all that she did for us. On top of the advice, constant support, and organization. Lena took the most INCREDIBLE photos I have ever seen.  She is truly an artist at what she does. Everyone.  I mean everyone has been blown away at the pictures. I can't recommend Lena enough. YOU MUST higher her.

I was lucky enough to find Lena through our venue at Willowdale Estate. After falling in love with her online portfolio, I fell even more in love after meeting her in person. She is modern and professional, and so dependable to work with. The wedding party and guests even raved about her! Couldn't ask for more in a wedding photographer.

I wish I could put into words how wonderful Lena is! She has true passion for people, love and photography. She puts her heart and soul into you and your partner - she gets to know you. You will walk away with an amazing friend and photos. Her positivity, light and energy will help you feel as comfortable and stress free as possible! In all honestly, Lena helped plan my elopement from start to finish by helping us sort a JOP and flowers. I am now want to plan something just so we can hire Lena again! You will love her!

Can't say enough wonderful things about Lena! I am a planner and work with many photographers and Lena always does an amazing job, produces gorgeous photos and is nothing but a pleasure to work with! We adore her!

Lena is a true professional and a great person. She is extremely friendly, genuine, and an expert at what she does. She takes stunning wedding photos and is exceptional at helping people who don't believe they are photogenic or who have little experience with taking formal photos. Her energy is incredible and she always finds a way to make you and your partner laugh and look natural in all of your pictures. She has a keen eye for both lighting and background of your pictures that enable her to take breathtaking shots of the city of Boston, the beautiful nature around you, or your wedding venue. She is accommodating to any weather conditions or any other unpredictable things that might happen with your photo shoot. I would not hesitate to hire Lena again and I would recommend her to anyone looking for high quality photos that you and your partner will look fondly upon for the rest of your life.

Hiring Lena will be the best decision you make for your wedding day. Standard weddings can be stressful on their own, but we were planning ours during covid and dealing with strained family relations- Lena was amazingly supportive and always came up with creative ways to address our concerns. The process of planning our engagement shoot and wedding day with her was so pleasant. My husband and I are both pretty introverted so I was worried about the awkwardness of posing, but with Lena awkward does not exist. The pictures are all so amazing and she captured us in such a beautiful, authentic way. More than anything else about my wedding, I got compliments on the photos and how polite and fun my photographer is. I got married less than a month ago and I already have the full, edited gallery despite receiving a blog/sneak peak within a week of the big day. Just hire her. I cannot stress how happy you will be with your decision!

We hired Lena for our engagement pictures after a friend referred us to her, and we are SO happy with our decision. From the minute we met her in person the day of the photos, she was so bubbly and energetic. She made it feel like we were just having a stroll about the city and she was there photographing us. It felt so natural and organic and not at all staged/posed etc. She definitely gave us tips on poses and things to do, but she really brought out the best of us. She is also amazing with her communication and will always get right back to you. She got her pictures to us in half the time she said it would take. We really could not be happier with our decision and are going to cherish these photos forever. THANK YOU LENA <3

Lena was amazing! Truly the best photographer to work with. We had an elopement at Cambridge city hall and she had everything planned out perfectly. It was really important to us that we had a photographer that could make this entire experience easy and painless, and that’s exactly what she did! She coordinated all the pictures to make sure we didn’t miss anything and everything was done in about an hour. We got a sneak peak just a few hours after we finished and all the pictures came out amazing! The time and energy she put into everything was apparent. We are so happy with our choice to go with Lena. We will definitely be recommending her to all our friends and family!

Hiring Lena to photograph our elopement was the best decision we made! My wife and I are both a little awkward when it comes to photos, but Lena brought such energy and enthusiasm to our photo shoot that we felt totally natural and in our element the entire time! We are beyond thrilled with the photos she took - several family members/friends commented that our photos looked like they came straight from a magazine, and we agree! Not only is she an incredibly skilled photographer, but her website was beyond helpful in planning our elopement - we found our hair/makeup artist, JOP, florist, dinner, etc. all from her recommendations and were beyond thrilled with the results! We can't recommend her enough!

Quite simply, Lena is the antidote to wedding stress! (Especially so for couples having small weddings/elopments.) Our biggest priority besides actually getting married was having good pictures (especially as we were unable to have guests because of Covid). We found Lena online and were intrigued by the beautiful pictures and rave reviews! She did not disappoint. We got in touch with her right away, and she went above and beyond as our point person for a small ceremony that we were unable to do at City Hall because of Covid restrictions. She came up with a beautiful outdoor location and recommended an excellent justice of the peace. Basically, hiring Lena helped everything fall into place in a wedding planning context that was rendered even more stressful and difficult than usual because of the pandemic. Working with her really put our minds at ease because of her combination of consummate professionalism and fun, friendly demeanor: she was both incredibly knowledgeable about everything wedding/elopement related and incredibly approachable with any small concerns we had! On the day of our ceremony, she was a lively and energizing presence, helping us capture and enjoy the most important moments of the day. And, of course, she got fantastic photos with an unbelievably fast turnaround! (We got our first proofs under 12 hours after the ceremony!) Our small ceremony would not have been the same without Lena, and we are so grateful for the beautiful way she preserved it. Thank you, Lena!

When my husband and I found the Lena on google, we instantly felt that she was going to be the perfect photographer for our elopement. After our larger wedding got canceled because of the pandemic, we wanted photos to capture not only ohr special moment... but we wanted to make it a super fun and intimate experience we would remember forever. Lena not only is an extremely talented photographer that perfectly captured our personalities and love story, but she makes it so fun and comfortable for the bride and groom. She pays attention to detail and goes beyond above and beyond for her clients. She is the best wedding photographer in Boston and should absolutely be who you choose for your elopement!❤️

Lena is simply the most magnificent photographer! She possesses talent beyond belief. My husband and I truly can't envision anyone else taking our elopement pictures. I stumbled across Lena while scrolling throughout Instagram and immediately fell in love with her work. Lena and I spent many months connecting and postponing our elopement pictures until the initial height of the COVID pandemic calmed down. My husband and I eloped on our initial date with just immediate family. We then took our pictures on September 19th, 2020 with Lena. She made the day feel so special all over again. Lena is the only person in the world who could ever make walking around Boston in wedding attire feel so nonchalant! Everyone in my family cherishes the photos so much. When we got our sneak peek of our shoot my mom even cried! We are planning to do a big wedding down the line with all of our family and friends, and we would LOVE to have Lena again. It was a privilege and honor to work with her!

Hiring Lena for our Boston minimony/elopement was the single best decision we've made in 2020! I first came across Lena when my fiance and I were forced to postpone our big wedding and decided we would do something intimate around our home city. Right away, her website walked us through how to get our marriage license in Boston, and all the steps to getting married at city hall (our plan at the time.) Several months later, we finally met her on our wedding day and she was everything we hoped and more. She was willing to go to three different locations for us, and we laughed, smiled, and celebrated throughout the whole process. She turned around our photos to us in record time and every single photo is incredible. Couldn't recommend her any more highly!

If you are looking for a wedding photographer, stop what you're doing and reach out to Lena NOW! Not only is she super talented (obvious from the photos themselves), but she is encouraging, professional, friendly, flexible, and an all-around wonderful person. She gave us great recommendations throughout the process (including our JOP, Priscilla Geaney), kept in touch frequently, and made ultimately made our wedding the best day we could have imagined. I first reached out to Lena in late 2019 when my now-husband and I decided we wanted to elope in June 2020. We were not only impressed by her beautiful photos and stellar reviews, but by her step-by-step guide to eloping in Boston, which saved us so much time and effort. In May 2020 (in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic), I reached out to Lena to ask if we could reschedule, which she was more than happy to accommodate. A few weeks before the new date, we did a somewhat last-minute engagement shoot (the more photos the better). Lena made both the engagement shoot and wedding day truly special and unforgettable. We were nervous to be in front of the camera, but she instantly made us feel at ease with her humor, creativity, and positive energy. Not only that, she is a Photoshop wizard. and the turnaround time for both sets of photos were lightning fast. Working with Lena was truly an incredible experience, and we are so grateful to have found her. Thank you, Lena!

We found Lena when we were looking up how to do an elopement in Boston. She had an amazing website with a super useful guide. We were lucky enough to schedule her for our elopement, then BAM, the COVID. She was so flexible and supportive during these uncertain times, and worked with us to get an amazing photo shoot once Boston allowed humans back into the light of social distancing. Lena provided useful insights as we discussed settings and scenes for the photos we wanted and were able to come up with a plan for our session. Lena is wonderful to work with, very easy going, and knows how to set the tone so you're more at ease during the process. When we received our package, we were blown away by the photos we saw. She was able to make an ordinary day extraordinary. Overall Lena is very personable, easy to work with, and professional. Thank you Lena for your efforts.

10/10 would and have recommended Lena to everyone I know getting married. The quality of the photos was phenomenal, her vision and attention to detail was so perfectly matched with what we described we wanted for our photos, and the level of responsiveness was off the charts (I worry she doesn't sleep thats how fast she responded to every email/question/request we had). Beyond the photos being sincerely magical working with Lena truly just felt different than any other photographer. From the first email exchange her personality came through and we immediately felt at ease and excited to work with her. She is a breath of fresh air, making taking photos at your wedding fun, happy and easy. As someone who is not very comfortable naturally in front of the camera choosing the right photographer was one of the most important decisions. Lena helped me to be myself and feel natural and relaxed while taking photos. The end result was better than I had ever hoped and my wife and I have so many BEAUTIFUL photos to choose from. A true professional who is just next level at her craft, any couple would be lucky to work with Lena and have her capture their wedding day.

Lena is absolute magic. She makes me wish we had multiple weddings for her to shoot. The photos are beautiful, and you get them as early as on your honeymoon. She's always prompt and thorough in response. She's an energy booster on your wedding day. Recommend 10/10.

Lena is simply amazing, highly highly recommend for your special day!! My husband and I both were worried about feeling awkward posing for photos, even though we are outgoing people we didn't do engagement pics or anything and weren't sure how it would feel to have someone "following us around," but let me tell you - best decision we made. Despite only meeting in person on our actual wedding day, it was like we've known Lena our whole lives and the energy she brought to the day instantly made us feel comfortable and literally warm (it was December). We got married at Boston City Hall and Lena helped us navigate that whole process and knew exactly where to go for the best pictures - we didn't have to worry about a thing. I was especially impressed with how Lena handled our families that were with us (12 people) and made sure we got every single combination for formal pics and amazing candids as well. We had a 50 person dinner party at Mistral restaurant the next day and Lena captured every single detail and was so easy to work with when we had last minute requests for things we wanted shot. We had a verrry long list of family pictures we needed captured, and Lena managed the whole process flawlessly. I have loved every second of working with Lena starting from the first time I clicked on her website. She is creative, supportive, professional, responsive, incredibly helpful and a master of her craft.

Lena is SO talented!!! My husband and I and our family/friends were blown away with her photos of our wedding. I had messages from friends of friends of friends who were so impressed and could not stop complimenting her work. Her professionalism is truly unmatched! What I think is most special about Lena is that she is truly passionate about her profession and wants to have a real connection with her couples. She puts in time to get to know you, your significant other, your story, and any important people in your life who will be part of the big day. Since the time I first connected with Lena, I had a feeling that we already knew each other for a long time because she made me feel comfortable right away. Her upbeat personality and positive energy are so contagious and that really made a difference on our special day! Lena is AMAZING, truly amazing, and we have nothing but the highest praise for her.

We had plans to elope to some far away places (Grand Tetons, Jackson Hole...) That was until we came across Lena's work while researching for photographers. We had not thought much about hiring a photographer -- we were more focused on choosing the right destination for our elopment. But, after looking at her portfolio, we could not get Lena's pictures out of our minds. They have this magical draw and depth which are hard to describe. Lena just "felt" like the right photographer for us, and so, we totally changed our initial plan. The decision was easy -- we would elope in Boston, our adopted city, which we both loved and in which we had met, and most importantly, with Lena. I am so glad we stumbled by chance upon Lena's website and chose her for our wedding. She has a fun bubbly personality, is able to make anyone comfortable in front of the camera, is incredibily thoughtful and easy to work with, and is an extremely talented photographer. I cannot recommend her highly enough and I am sure you will enjoy working with her too!

Lena was one of the best decisions I made when planning my wedding! Think of how often you dream, daydream, pinterest scheme, etc about your wedding. You put all of this effort into planning, so be sure to get Lena (the BEST photographer) to actually capture all of those moments for you to be able to remember and reflect on after the big day. Along with her amazing photography skills, Lena is deeply knowledgeable about weddings. She helped my sassy, sometimes camera shy husband truly laugh and feel comfortable, which made our pictures so extremely personal and magical! She kept us on time and on track to make it to the ceremony on time. She ran around with me gathering and wrangling friends and family to take photos during cocktail hour. Lena is genuine and really cares, we still keep in touch today and I know I will continue you to hire her to capture all of my future life milestones. Seriously, look no further and book Lena today because she is simply the best.

It was such an easy decision to hire Lena. We convinced her to fly to Mexico and capture our destination wedding weekend. We had multiple calls before the big day to discuss timeline and must have photos. Aside from the traditional photos, I wanted those candid moments. She captured some of the best candid photos, it was like reliving the weekend all over again! If you are looking for a fun, energetic, easy going photographer, Lena is your girl. She is the type of photographer you want around you on your wedding day. She'll even end up on the dance floor next to you. It is very clear she loves what she does. She is someone you just naturally want to be around. She makes being in front of the camera so easy and not awkward at all. Her professionalism and her ability to capture small moments is remarkable. Our wedding pictures are GORGEOUS! I can't imagine anyone else capturing these moments for us. All of the best moments of the day, she captured beautifully, always with a huge smile on her face.

Lena is soooo INCREDIBLE!!! From the second I saw Lena’s work I knew she was going to be our elopement photographer! I am in the photography industry and I knew exactly what I was looking for. I wanted a classic timeless look for our photos; something that I was going to be able to look back on for years and years and fall in love with pictures over and over again. I sent her a message on Instagram to secure our date and she quickly got back to me with so much excitement. Her professionalism, down to earth vibes and genuine excitement for me totally solidified my decision to book her! We eloped at Plymouth Ma Town Hall on February 13th, 2020. The original plan was to be married on Valentine’s Day but unfortunately she was unavailable so we changed our date just to be able to book with her! That how much I love her and her talent! Because we were eloping with only our daughters present, Lena was willing to keep the secret (I felt like we were buds instantly) about the date so that I could still tell people we eloped on Valentine’s Day! We truly could not have asked for a better human to photograph our big day. She’s trust worthy, energetic, creative, and CRAZY TALENTED! Lena was also so amazing with my twin four year old daughters, getting them to laugh and smile and just totally be themselves in the pictures! One of my favorite moments that she captured is my girls making super silly faces, it my favorite because that’s them, my goofy little girls! She totally nailed it! Some of my other favorite pictures are of me and my husband just laughing after we shot champagne everywhere, it was just such a genuine moment of happiness and she didn’t miss it! Those are the moments that you aren’t really thinking about when you envision your wedding day, you think about hair, makeup, locations and everyone looking their best! But those simple, silly in and REAL authentic moments are the most important ones and Lena didn’t miss anything. She captured such natural moments between all of us and it means the world to me! Did I mention that it was pouring rain that day, not only did she come prepared with umbrellas for us, she also had creative ideas to still get some great shots of us having fun outside even though the weather wasn’t cooperating! Not only is she exceptionally talented, but she has such a beautiful soul and I hope to know her and look up to her forever. I am so incredibly grateful that we met Lena. Booking her for our elopement was absolutely the best decisions my husband and I made!

Honestly, do yourselves a favor and book this deeply talented lady immediately. With Lena behind the lens, you get the confidence-boosting skills of your best friend with the artistic skills of a world-class professional. She captures all the right moments, makes you look incredible, and somehow manages to do both without making you feel ridiculous. She’s also wildly organized so you can leave all the details to her and focus on the joy of your big day. If you’re investing in one category, make it Lena’s magical photos. We recommend her without reservation to everyone we know, and would hire her again every time.

Lena is the best! She made our little City Hall elopment in Boston look and feel so perfect - It was truly like having a photographer, wedding planner, and bridesmaid all-in-one! Despite the cold, heavy winds, and freezing rain, she kept up high energy and made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. But more importantly, the comfort of knowing Lena had timing/angles/locations/etc covered, allowed us to be the most present and grounded we've ever felt. I'll never forget any part of our special day. And our photos are absolutely magical. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!

Lena is the one you want! She is full of energy and knows how to work a crowd but also incredibly organized. Nothing gets by her. She will make sure to get all the photos you want with the people you want while still making it fun. I was nervous in particular since I have some estranged family members and my family hadn't met my husband's family! She made sure to keep the peace and prevent awkward situations. MUCH APPRECIATED. This was so key and not many photographers have the skills to make this seamless. I couldn't recommend her enough for anyone else getting married in the Boston area!
