About this vendor
I'm Mae, a Wedding Photographer based in Portsmouth, NH. I photograph weddings in NH, Maine, Massachusetts and Vermont. I photograph weddings both solo, and with a second photographer, based on your needs. I provide a mix of candids and posed, or lightly directed photos that tell the story of your wedding day. I like to begin the day with a little bit of getting ready coverage and end my coverage when everyone is on the dance floor. I hope to deliver images that are natural and timeless, and I love to deliver the laughs we catch in between all the formal stuff!
I am also available for local elopements in the NH Seacoast area.

Mae is absolutely amazing! Her work is gorgeous and she is the most professional and talented photographer you could ever work with. Mae really listens and provides you with photog...
raphs beyond your expectations. Mae was so calm and easy to work with and kept everyone happy and engaged in every photo! As a Mother of the Bride, I highly recommend Mae to provide you with the wedding of your dreams!
Could not be happier with this entire experience. From the beginning, Mae was communicative and accessible, and we went into our wedding completely comfortable that she was on boar...
d with what we were looking for. On the day itself Mae was completely unobtrusive; when we received our proofs we couldn't believe all of the shots she got, as we hardly noticed she was there. She gave us a wonderful mix of candids and portraits, and the quality is outstanding. This is the piece of your big day that you keep forever and we could not be more pleased!
Mae is incredible! She was an absolute joy to work with. She made everything a breeze. She has an extensive pre-wedding questionnaire and checklist to make sure you're getting the...
shots you want with as little stress as possible.
The photos come shortly after the wedding and are in high resolution files that can be downloaded from her site with no hassle.
She was like a ninja. She came in, got set up, and blended right in with everything going on. She was never in the way, never causing a delay, and never drawing attention to herself.
I highly suggest booking Mae for your wedding or event!
Mae did a great job shooting our wedding! She was professional, well prepared and pleasant to work with. Mae had us send her photo requests and info on our family and friends in ad...
vance which was helpful. She honored our wishes and did a good job capturing our casual and fun wedding vibe just like I hoped she would. She came to our venue early to acquaint herself with the space and map out the best spots for good lighting. During the event, she operated behind the scenes and did not distract us or guests from wedding activities. I appreciate that Mae's rates were more reasonable than other wedding photographers in the area. Our sneak peek photos were even better than I was hoping! Gorgeous, fun and bright photos. I recommend Mae to other brides!!
Mae was excellent, highly recommend!
Mae was AMAZING and we really loved her 2nd photographer Mike too! We were not able to meet in person due to crazy schedules, but Mae was flexible and we had a phone interview prio...
r to review schedules and style. She was very professional yet easy to talk to and get along with, which makes the wedding day run smoothly. She really took into consideration our style and requests when shooting, and handled unexpected events with grace, as if they were planned. It sure takes a special person to wrangle our group and Mae was definitely the right choice! She was very easy to work with and we got our photos back very quickly (not to mention they were absolutely stunning)! We loved Mae and will definitely be using her again for future photos
As soon as we contacted her, I knew I was speaking to a professional. Mae is reliable, trustworthy, flexible and, most importantly, a true artist with a camera. She took gorgeous...
outdoor shots, indoor, casual, formal, people, details (cake, etc), nature . . . there is nothing that didn't turn out well . I have so many wedding photo "favorites" that it's really just about all of them. Even my guests commented on how professional she was at the ceremony and reception, and when we sent out the online photos to them, I received many gushing comments about her artistry. It's truly a joy to write this review on her behalf! Thank you, Mae!!

Mae is absolutely amazing! She managed to capture every detail of the day! The portraits of my husband and I are stunning, the group photos are beautiful and effortless, the detail...
photos are completely perfect, and the candids capture the spirit of the day. I can not say enough good things about Mae! If we ever have another major life event, we will certainly use Mae's services!
Mae was amazing as my wedding photographer in May 2017 at the Castle at Boston University in Boston, MA. She checked in with me before my wedding to see what my priorities for phot...
os were, and on the day of my wedding she was very organized and immediately got to work, scouting out prime photo locations within the venue. She is very attentive and kind as well. The photos turned out AMAZING. I highly recommend her. 5/5 stars.
I had the pleasure to work with Mae Hogan for my wedding last October 2016. Her rates are great and her work is absolutely phenomenal! My now husband and I met with her prior to ou...
r wedding just a few months beforehand (we had a somewhat quick engagement of 5 months) and she was very helpful with gathering all the information she would need for the big day. She provided us with a type of questionaire and requests for us to go over and fill out that was super helpful when it came to our wedding day. Right when we met with her we knew already she would be the best photographer! She made sure to follow up with us weeks beforehand to throughly go through everything. When the day came, Mae was already at the location scoping out the best spots for pictures. Before I, the bride, arrived she had already spoken to the family and guests to let them know where she'd be taking pictures during the ceremony. Overall, she just made an important day seamlessly perfect. Not only that but you can tell she really truly loves what she does. She took advantage of the beautiful light and did a great job incorporating the grounds (we got married in an estate garden). Needless to say, her photos came out spectacular and within a timely fashion, we received them weeks before she set her timeline to send them to us. Mae made sure she got every opportunity for a good picture. She's amazing and if you're looking for the best photographer around, she's it!
Choosing Mae to capture our wedding was one of our best decisions of this past year. She is a phenomenal photographer; the pictures on her website speak for themselves. A former ...
architect, she has a keen eye for angles, sizing up shots, and it was always fun doing shoots with her to see how she is consistently thinking ahead, trying to create perfection. The photo set we received brought our wedding to life in way that we could have only dreamed of.
Throughout the process, from meeting with her in Salem to our engagement shoot, wedding, and everything in between, Mae was truly a pleasure to work with. She is extremely pleasant, professional, down-to-earth, and easy to communicate with. She also consistently went above and beyond what was expected of her; Mae understands the seriousness of her responsibilities and her hard work reflects that. Even during the craziest moments of planning our wedding, we felt at ease knowing that photography would not be an issue at all. We can’t overstate how important that feeling was and Mae consistently delivered.
We highly, highly, highly recommend her!
Mae was phenomenal! My husband was not too keen on having professional photos at our wedding –but even he admitted that after working with Mae, it was hard not to see the benefits....
She was incredibly pleasant to work with. We visited the wedding venue a couple of weeks before the actual wedding day to scout out some “prime” wedding photo spots. On the day of the wedding, Mae captured wonderful candids at the church –and was extremely accommodating to our list of group shots, both in front of the church and at the wedding. Mae made the photos of just my husband and me extremely tolerable for my husband, as she has a great and friendly attitude –and didn’t make us feel at all uncomfortable about posing in front of the camera. In fact, she got us both laughing, despite the cold November day. In the end, we were so, so happy with the photographs that we got on our wedding day. Mae has a great eye, captured the moments that we wanted, and took the time to take pictures of the little details, as well. We are so grateful that we hired her and would recommend her to anyone looking for a wedding photographer!
Mae was terrific. We cannot say enough great things about her, her vision and our photos for our wedding last December. Mae really spent the time to talk with us about what we w...
anted and how we wanted our pictures to look. Mae has a great eye for seeing tiny details around you but also seeing the bigger picture. We were able to walk around with her and scope out great places for the backgrounds of our pictures and we never felt rushed or that our opinions didn't matter. Mae was able to get the exact pictures we wanted. We had a quick turnaround for our proofs. We couldn't have been more thrilled!! Mae would be a great choice for any special occasion you have, wonderful photographer!
Mae went above and beyond in all respects for us at our event. She was friendly and warm, yet still professional. She wasn't afraid to join into our event to get the best pictures,...
and her eye is impeccable! The quality of her work is outstanding. She was in constant communication with us and delivered our pictures very quickly. I wouldn't hesitate hiring her again. Thank you so much, Mae!
