We believe your wedding photos should feel like the day felt—not just what it looked like. We capture the real, unscripted moments that make your celebration yours: the way you look at each other when no one's watching, the tears during toasts, the laughter you didn't know was caught on camera. We approach weddings as stories, not just photo ops.
Our style is documentary at heart—natural light, genuine emotion, and an unobtrusive presence that lets your day unfold. No stiff poses, no interruptions, just thoughtful composition that captures who you actually are together.
Based in southern Maine, we work with couples throughout Maine and New England who want photos that feel true to them—images you'll recognize yourselves in years from now. Please reach out, we can't wait to meet you!

Ned Warner
Photographer
I believe in the power of real moments. The quiet, stolen glances. The belly laughs. The way your hand fits perfectly in theirs. These fleeting moments are what I aim to capture—authentically, beautifully, and without interruption. As a wedding and elopement photographer, my goal is to make you feel as comfortable as possible in front of the camera, so you can simply enjoy your day. I don't just take pictures—I document emotions, connections, and the unique energy of your love story. With years of experience photographing weddings, elopements, and intimate celebrations, I've learned that no two love stories are the same. Whether it's a beautiful mountaintop elopement or a lively city wedding, I tailor my approach to fit the vibe of your day. Let’s create something beautiful together.

Ned and Julia were so lovely and attentive throughout our entire wedding day! They made every photo shoot feel organic and integrated into the whole day. They were accommodating and kind to everyone involved. Their skill, vision and talent shone through each sneak peek photo. We are so thrilled with the results and can’t wait to hire them again for future shoots!

I wish I could leave more than 5 stars for Ned. He did an incredible job with both our engagement shoot and our wedding. He has an eye for capturing the most important moments, especially the small ones you don't always expect. Ned is very communicative and flexible, as well as open to last minute changes or quirky suggestions (we had a few). On our wedding day, his professionalism and calm presence truly helped set the tone. We're so grateful for Ned and we encourage you to give him a holler for your event!

Ned and Julia were absolutely amazing photographers for our wedding! From start to finish, their calm presence helped us feel relaxed and fully present, during both the busy, exciting moments and the quiet, intimate ones. They worked with us to capture all the family photos we requested, and then focused on the moments that truly mattered - the sweet, candid interactions, the laughs, the smiles, and all the genuine emotions that made our day so special. Their thoughtful suggestions, attention to detail, and seamless teamwork ensured that every angle was captured beautifully.
Our first look photos perfectly reflected the love and joy of the day, and receiving them the next day was such a wonderful gift. From the ceremony to the reception, Ned and Julia captured the magic, emotion, and energy of the day in a way that exceeded our expectations. We felt so cared for every step of the way and we’ll be forever grateful to them for documenting memories we will cherish for a lifetime.

Ned is a truly exceptional photographer with an incredible eye for detail and emotion. He has a unique ability to capture both spontaneous, candid moments and beautifully composed, staged photographs—while still preserving a sense of authenticity in every shot.
My fiancé and I are both naturally camera shy and tend to feel awkward in front of the lens, which had us feeling nervous going into the shoot. However, Ned’s calm, encouraging presence and gentle guidance helped us relax and let go of our anxieties. He created an environment that felt comfortable and genuine, allowing us to truly enjoy the experience.
The final images blew us away. They were not only visually stunning, but they also captured the spirit of our relationship in a way that felt deeply personal. We’re so grateful to have these moments preserved so beautifully and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Ned to anyone looking for a skilled and thoughtful photographer.
We cannot wait for Ned to photograph our wedding after seeing his amazing work with our engagement shoot!

Ned was phenomenal! We are so happy we went with him for our October 12, 2024 wedding.
Ned was professional, communicated with me often, and was able to finesse planned shots and documentary styled shots like we really wanted!
We loved Ned’s documentary style and are so glad that he captured true moments from our day! He also loves night sky photography and was able to get a few shots for us as well!
Ned worked with our budget and time flawlessly and was open to discuss options if our budget changed.
If you go with Ned for your special day you will NOT be disappointed!

Couldn't recommend Ned enough! My husband and I are not big photo takers and we gave Ned a tough task - a very short window for posed pictures and a VERY high bar for luxurious, classic and timeless photos, with the vast majority being live, unposed candids. He nailed it! Beyond the photos he took of us (which are absolutely beautiful), what really stands out are the photos he took of our immediate family that really reflect their personality. I know that may sound obvious, but a lot of friends have complained about photographers not taking photos of family members. I love the photos he took of my family the most.
Finally, Ned is just a great guy. We had a very stressful life event happen right before our wedding that could have easily ruined the day. Ned has been such a positive and bright light during and after the wedding - helping us feel relaxed during the moment and being super responsive to photo requests since then. Couldn't recommend him enough!

We can't recommend Ned highly enough! He’s pretty popular in the area, so we feel lucky that we booked him when we did. Not only was Ned incredibly accommodating for our difficult schedule, he made us feel so comfortable that we were all genuinely laughing by the end! I’m usually uncomfortable in front of a camera and my fiancé and I came in a little nervous, but Ned’s professional yet genuinely warm manner gave us the confidence to shake the nerves off and actually have fun! It was worth it for just the experience itself. Then we saw the photos and they knocked our socks off! The best ones were the pictures we didn’t know he was taking. He finds those perfect moments and captures them so beautifully. Ned is a deeply talented artist who also has the rare gift of making people making people feel comfortable right away. Thank you so much for the beautiful photos and great memories of a fun & special day!

We feel so lucky that we were able to nail down Ned when we did. We reserved him later than most couples usually do. It still amazes us that he was available on such a popular weekend (9/21), because his talent, personable touch, professionalism and quick thinking place him at the top of the pile for Maine, or New England for that matter, wedding photographers. We connected easily from our first meeting and he was always in regular communication in the months leading up to the day. He was punctual, efficient, and knew very well who he could rely on for any information he needed as to not distract us from focusing on the moments. He got along very well with everyone he spoke to, and by the end of the night he felt like another guest we had invited. He even went out of his way to help the event coordinators get us anything we needed, like water and sodas to keep our energy up for the rest of the night. I couldn't imagine our big day going any better, and Ned was a huge part of the success. He had some samples for us to see the very next morning and knows how to keep up the excitement even after it's all over. We'll be recommending him personally to anyone we can in the area, and I hope this review helps with wider exposure. He's the best and you'd all be lucky to have him!
