Novella Photography

endly, relaxed, and great with communication!

y do!), but we had no idea how much more she would bring to the day. Paulette added the perfect mix of calm, collected confidence and joy—from the morning portraits to the last moments by the lake. She took care of countless details we never would have thought of: finding the perfect path for couples photos, adding lights on the dance floor, hopping in a canoe to capture lakeside fun, and even sharing in the little moments that made the day so special. We’re both normally awkward in front of a camera, but Paulette made us feel completely at ease. Many guests commented on how fantastic she was even before seeing the photos—and once we shared them, everyone agreed she captured the true feeling of the day. If we could give more than five stars, we would. Highly recommend Paulette to anyone looking for stunning photos and an incredible experience!

of guys dancing in a circle. The pictures are unbelievable!

lown away when we received our wedding photos. They're stunning. Paulette captured our energy so well, and we're so lucky to have such gorgeous photos of our day. She's amazing!

ers- they will get the shot!! They were so wonderful to work with and we can't wait to get our full album back!

eel their love for the work in every image. They captured the joy and color of our wedding day better than we could have every dreamed, being everywhere at once, making every moment feel comfortable and natural. Their eye for light and color is amazing! (Plus, a few months before our wedding they turned up in 20 degree weather to shoot our spontaneous outdoor elopement, bringing their magic to that day as well!) Our friends and family have raved about their work and style, and they will absolutely be our first choice for photographers in the future.

photos with them and we have been blown away by the talent and creativity of these artists! I wish I could give a 1000 start rating these guys are truly the best

alism, kindness, and easy-going demeanors made it an absolute pleasure to spend our wedding with them! They helped us pose in ways that felt comfortable, but also captured the unexpectedly beautiful moments. The day after the wedding, we received our "sneak peek" photographs--it was the best "day after" gift. I would book Paulette and Matt again in a heartbeat and cannot recommend them highly enough.

of capturing every moment and more discreetly. We had our ceremony on the beach 8 months prior to our reception so only wanted to book for a few hours with them. We had tons of unexpected last minute COVID cancellations including our DJ. Paulette and Matt stepped in to help unasked and unexpectedly. They were the most amazing vendors at our reception and made the night relaxing, fun and carefree regardless of the stress we were under. I would use them over and over for all of our photography needs.

d moments. Novella did both beautifully!! I am so happy with the variety of photos we received. They also make a point to photograph all of your guests, which is really unique and special. Every single person I have shown our photos to are floored, one of our friends said our wedding photos were the best they'd ever seen. Matt and Paulette are also both awesome, accommodating, friendly, and funny! They did such a great job, I just can't say enough.

eful to both of them for capturing our guests and moments that we wouldn't have seen otherwise. It has been a treat to go back and look through photos, each time we see something new! So many beautiful candids and shots, we don't have a single photo we don't love. Thank you Paulette and Matt!

ir photos were incredible. They did a great job of capturing everything we wanted to get photos of, and a lot of things we hadn’t thought of but were great to have. Their photos are stunning–they’re lively, really well framed, and genuinely captured the love and excitement of our wedding. They took a great mix of portraits, staged photos (family shots, etc.), and action shots that captured the energy of us and our guests. And they sent us a sneak peak of some of our favorite photos almost immediately after the wedding, so we could share them with family and friends right away while we were waiting for the full album (which we got a few weeks later). We genuinely have only great things to say about Novella Photography–do yourself a favor and hire them!!

incredible photographers, they’re amazing people too. They helped make us feel incredible on our wedding day. My partner and I wanted our wedding photography to feel like captured memories, and that’s exactly what we got from Matt and Paulette. They truly captured our friends and family in such an amazing way, we will cherish these photos for our whole lives. We seriously cannot thank these two enough for how perfect they made our day. If you’re looking for not only gorgeous portraits but amazing candid moments, look no further than Novella Photography.

re taking pictures during the most important moments: ceremony, first dance, reception. Many of my guests mentioned they didn't even know where they were standing during our ceremony to capture such amazing pictures. My husband and I have been to many weddings where the photographers were obnoxious and intrusive, Matt and Paulette are the extreme opposite of that. All of their photographs were incredible, I honestly can't stop looking at our wedding photos and basically show anyone I come in contact with how great they are. Matt and Paulette are the top echelon of photographers and we were so lucky to have them on our special day!

our wedding in an amazing documentary-style that really highlighted the character and joyful emotion of the day. I am so thankful they were available. The hallmark of a good photographer is capturing candid moments without "getting in the way" and being kind and caring. They are superstars.

were a huge part of making our day great. Outside of the pictures, both Paulette and Matt helped us with so much. ABOVE AND BEYOND. It really felt like we had close friends doing our photography and helping us through the day, and we had never even met them before the wedding. They will undoubtedly make your day scores better!

ety of our event. After the wedding, we received many positive reviews from our family and friends as well. Paulette and Matt delivered our full wedding album very quickly and their photos allowed us to relive every minute of our day! Novella Photography is worth every penny!

g, and Paulette and Matt were so understanding as we canceled and replanned everything. Both of us were pretty nervous about having our photo taken, but they captured our personalities, and our guests' personalities, perfectly. They had so many good ideas for photos (including some of me in our pool!) and we are so, so impressed with the quality and amount of photos we received. Novella Photography truly does a wonderful job of telling your story through photos.

us feel really comfortable as "models" for our elopement-style shoot. They also did great capturing candids throughout the small, casual reception and posed portraits of our many requested combinations of family members! Thank you so much!

ble photos from my wedding day and even family sessions! Make sure you plan plenty of time to take pictures with them!

miles. They did just that and more. They not only took photographs of those pesky but beautiful detailed moments and typical wedding party photos (in a great way), but they took a deeper look through what was happening around them. Their eyes found a story behind each interaction. It was also wonderful to see them not just take photos, but interact and really become one with the environment. Our guests and wedding party have mentioned since the wedding of how wonderful they were as well, describing how fun and professional they were. You will not go wrong with Paulette and Matt. Thank you so much for helping us remember our one and only moment. We'll just have to get married again to do it all over again with you both!

t! Not only did the photos come out amazingly fun, and beautiful, we genuinely had fun with them on our wedding day. They are both so fun and creative that the time we spent with them taking pictures felt like a bonus! They truly captured how our day felt and went out of their way to make sure everything and everyone was captured in a meaningful way. We had a pretty unique wedding- juggling and human pyramids in a pretty unique outdoor venue and they got it ALL! We are thrilled with our photos, and equally thrilled that we got to spend time with Matt and Paulette at our wedding.

and easy. They were very helpful and organized leading up to the wedding day, and gave us great advice and recommendations. They did an incredible job the day of and truly captured the magic of the event. They are an awesome team and it was really fun to see them work together throughout the day! We had a blast spending time with them. They made us feel relaxed, happy, and really special. You can tell that they love what they do. After the wedding the turn around time to receive the photos was quick and we loved getting a preview ahead of time. We are blown away with how beautiful all of the photos are. Their artistic styles compliment each other so well, and we loved seeing all the special moments they captured. We will be cherishing these photos for years to come. We could never thank them enough for capturing this important day for us, and making the entire process so fun. If you're searching for the perfect photographers- stop your search- you've found them!

husetts down to NYC to do an engagement shoot with us. It was such a memorable day and made us so excited for the big day. Leading up to and on our wedding day, Paulette and Matt were calm, organized, and so pleasant to work with. We felt like everything was handled behind the scenes and we didn't have to worry about anything. What we loved most is that everything truly felt natural, and our photos reflect that. These candid photos make us so happy and are photos we love looking back on (rather than mostly staged photos of groups/people). Finally, and just as importantly, Matt and Paulette have the most creative style that captured our day in a fun, artistic, and genuine way. Our wedding guests still talk about how Paulette got on Matt's shoulders during a dance circle so she could grab an aerial shot. We couldn't recommend them enough!!! Choose to work with them and it will be one of the best decisions you make.

ring the entire day, and captured some of the best moments from our wedding -- the result is over 1,000 images that we seriously can't choose between for an album. Thanks Paulette and Matt!

every family photo on our list in record time so we could get to celebrating! They did such an amazing job documenting the day - I was astounded by all the moments they managed to capture. We chose a camp venue so that we could enjoy the outdoors, and their photos made us feel a part of the early fall foliage. Pick them! They're fantastic photographers and fun people to boot!

our wedding photos and the memories we made while taking them. Highly recommend Novella Photography!

erienced in offbeat weddings, but enthusiastic about them! We had nothing but compassion , support, and laughs with Matt and Paulette. They captured every perfect moment, even the ones we didn't notice, and made our day smooth and beautiful. I can't thank them enough for their talent, creativity, kindness, and love! Thank you for making us feel special. We will be showing these pictures off until we die!

in our photos. We worked with them for both our engagement and wedding photos and loved all of them! Our friends and family raved about the photos and I know we'll be reminiscing and cherishing them for years to come.

ersonalities and approaches that matched my wife and I perfectly. Not only did we have an incredible wedding day and experience working with them, but their pictures have absolutely blown us away (and EVERYONE that sees them). They have a distinct and beautiful vision- trust them and follow their lead, you will not be disappointed.

as well as the photos my guests were requesting of them. They made everything about the day feel laid back and relaxed, and that's what a bride needs most. But I have to admit, I was seriously impressed when the last song played and I turned around to see Paulette on Matt's shoulders taking photos! These two are committed to getting the perfect shot, let me tell you.

ing that they were the best wedding decision we made (other than choosing to marry each other). Our pictures are breathtaking and better than we could have ever imagined. We've had so many family and friends reach out to us to tell us how blown away they are with them. Matt and Paulette weren't just easy to work with, but were FUN to work with. The dreaded group shots were coordinated seamlessly, communication leading up to and day of the wedding was prompt and clear and somehow...they captured a day that seemed too good to ever fit in a frame. We cannot recommend them highly enough - book Novella Photography and you'll be in tears all over again reliving the best day of your lives.

uly went above and beyond anything we could have asked for and our pictures (so far we’ve gotten a sneak peak) are stunning! I’d recommend them to anyone looking for fun photographers that’ll capture those beautiful candid moments!

inate with, so professional & easy to work with on the day of, have a great sense of humor, and the follow up after the wedding has been so quick and easy. We just received our final usb with pictures and I won't spoil the surprise but we were even blown away by the attention of detail given for that, too! Amazing, talented, one of the best wedding decisions we made!

hers... a C.P.C.... or Cute Photography Couple. The two of them work really well as a team because they're a couple in real life--and, in addition, it makes them really fun to work with. And they happen to be REALLY talented to boot. They honestly seemed so happy and to be having so much fun together shooting our wedding, which put us and everyone else at ease and made our photos way better. This manifested, at its best, with Paulette riding on Matt's shoulders to get cool aerial shots of the dance floor during the reception, which came out amazing. Paulette and Matt were great communicators through the entire process. They responded quickly to emails, asked thorough but not annoying questions, offered to have calls or meet in person whenever we wanted, etc. And they were flexible the day of when our timing changed slightly and when we had to make some game-time decisions about locations to shoot photos. After the wedding, before our hangovers had fully passed, they had already sent us a "sneak peak" of photos (which looked amazing) and were a really great bookend to a great weekend. These two have a really great way of trying to capture people looking natural, not posed. And trying to capture the event and people in an authentic way, not at all generic or cookie-cutter. They also were geniuses when it came to finding great places to shoot; we did our wedding in December in upstate NY, and so it was too cold to do much outside. But they managed to find great spots to shoot interesting photos within the premises of our venue that many photogs would never have thought of--like some fun shots of us and the wedding party behind the bar. They even took us up into the attic of the building, which was this sort of abandoned industrial space with old-timey windows and exposed brick, and got some amazing shots there. They made the most of what we had and it really was worth it. In general, I could not be more happy that we went with these two!

too much fun under Matt's direction and came up with some fantastic shots! Paulette was like a woodland butterfly capturing the scene of us girls getting ready from angles and perspectives that made me wonder where she actually was when she took the photo. We also had some amazing drone shots of our ceremony, which we love. Paulette and Matt captured our fun, casual, colorful, laid-back wedding down to all of the details. They truly told the story of our day through photographs that we will cherish forever. Each photograph captures a unique moment in time... the quiet space between the chaos, the small things you see after the deep breath, those little moments of peace away from all the other expectations that come with hosting a wedding; the part that would be impossible to remember while all of the big stuff is going on. For that I am thankful. It is easy to be comfortable amongst friends and Paulette and Matt give that feeling to you right from the start. Thank you Novella Photography!

fessional, easy to work with and so sweet. They showed up early and walked the entire venue/property to find places to take our pictures, which were all amazing. They captured every moment perfectly and our sneak peek had friends and family calling us about how stunning and magical they were. We had an overcast day with some late night rain which we took advantage of. They shot the most perfect rain picture that had me getting calls,texts and messages about who our photographers were and how they can book them. Later in the night while the party was in full swing Paulette was on Matt’s shoulders getting pictures of our friends and family having the time of their lives. They are so dedicated and passionate! Matt and Paulette love what they do and it shows in their quality and brilliant work. I have no words to express how grateful we are to have had them at our wedding. All I can say is BOOK THEM, you will not regret it!

ith their work. Throughout the entire planning process, these two were a dream team. They are talented, professional, prompt, kind, and tons of fun. Their service is above and beyond, their photography is stunning. 10/10, would hire Novella again and again!

ry moment we could have asked for and even ones that we didn’t. We didn’t hire a videographer so we really counted on these guys and they knocked it out of the park!! We have the best memories and we owe it all to them.

mportantly kept us calm and laughing on our wedding day. The pictures came out beautifully! Both the artistic shots we were looking for as well as more traditional pictures our families wanted. Also- the photo booth props were hilarious and unique, which made for great funny pictures that our guests loved!

we can easily say the same about ours a year later. Matt and Paulette were responsive and clear in their communications leading up to our big day and flexible, friendly and patient (!!) in interacting with our guests and families during the event. They somehow managed to be both invisible when necessary (important for a bride who very much dislikes being the center of attention) and also *so fun* that I wanted them to stay around when they were done shooting! I also loved seeing their partnership and teamwork together - not only are they talented at what they do, but clearly have so much fun doing it together as a couple, and I loved that energy being part of our day. We could not be more impressed by and appreciative of Matt and Paulette's creativity, professionalism and talent, and can only hope we might have an opportunity to work with them again in the future!

l job. They also pulled our (large) families together for photos with ease. Their photos captured the spirit of our day and our love. They're perfect. Paulette and Matt were communicative and executed our vision, but were also laid back and creative. I would hire them again in a second - really can't say enough great things about our experience working with them!
