We had contacted a few different photographers during our planning before reaching out to Paul Saunders Photography.
Paul was the most responsive and professional of the bunch we spoke with.
He quickly set up a phone interview to get to know us and get an understanding of what we were looking to have done for our big day.
Words cannot express our gratitude & happiness to Paul and his team. Our photographer for the day was Heather. She did an amazing job and our photos look spectacular! We had photos done prior to the ceremony, during the ceremony, and the reception.
This was one of the easiest and best decisions we made for our wedding. The professionalism, communication, and artistry shown from Paul & Heather was top notch.
This was just the first of many times we will contact Paul Saunders Photography for any party or event we may have. Thank you Paul & Heather.
We were very grateful to have Paul Saunders Photography as a part of our wedding. They were very responsive and organized, which helped take a lot of stress off of our shoulders as the wedding approached. We never had to worry about whether things would be taken care of on time and we’re given a clear outline of their process from start to finish. Their photo packages had many options for photo prints in different styles and were all a great value. We are also looking forward to receiving our Coffee Table Designer Photo Album in the future, which we will be able to go through and choose our favorite photos to fill it up.
We had Geoff as our photographer and it was a pleasure to work with him throughout the day. He showed up on time and was very flexible with where we needed him for photos. We were able to get all of the pictures we were hoping for and they came out wonderfully.
We are very happy that we found Paul Saunders Photography and would certainly recommend them to anyone looking for a photographer for their wedding or other event. High quality and professionalism all the way through!
We worked with Paul for our wedding and he was amazing. Everyone was very impressed with his ability to take amazing pictures quickly. He is very funny and charismatic and made everyone feel very comfortable. My husband and I are so happy with how the pictures came out! Derek, who works with Paul, shot our engagement photos and was great as well. He captured some amazing shots of our nervous dog. I would definitely reccommend Paul Saunders Photography to anyone looking for a photographer for their next event.
Any questions?
We hired Paul Saunders Photography for our wedding because they came recommended by our venue in MA, and it was an incredible experience! Paul was very responsive over email and there were many pricing options and packages available. Laura photographed our wedding and she was amazing! She made sure to go over the schedule of the day to make sure we got all of the shots we wanted and took so many photos throughout the evening. We received so many beautiful photos back that we and our family and friends love! Highly recommend them!
As someone that is extremely camera shy, they made this the most comfortable, relaxed, and natural experience! Jason far exceeded my expectations as he was super accommodating, efficient, and extremely friendly and professional! He made something that was such a difficult task for me, easy and relaxing! Even after the wedding, their communication with me and customer service has been amazing! Everything on my end has been so crazy busy with a newborn in the house but Paul has been extremely patient, responsive, and accommodating through everything! I wish it was possible to rate higher than a 5/5!
Paul was incredible to work with. He was very communicative but laidback leading up to the wedding, which helped ease any anxiety we felt leading up to the wedding day. The week before the wedding, we had a phone call to discuss the details, though he didn't need any guidance from us. He advised us to be ourselves during the day, which also alleviated so much stress, and our favorite photos were the ones when we didn't have to worry about the camera. We trusted Paul throughout the entire day, and are so glad we did--he knows exactly what he is doing. We were utterly blown away by the beautiful moments he captured. One of our favorite things about Paul was how lovely he was to work with. He is very kind and funny, which made us feel very comfortable throughout the day. If you are considering working with Paul for your wedding day, we enthusiastically recommend him. We are so glad we trusted him to capture such special moments.
We just got back our wedding photos and I am so happy we chose Paul Saunders Photography! I walked to a bunch of photographers before choosing and found Paul to have the best portfolio and best value for our budget. Paul was unavailable for our date so paired us with his associate Jason who was excellent - fun, kept the stress down, listened to what we wanted and made the whole day everything we dreamed of! The communication between Paul and Jason leading up to the wedding and after was seamless and easy for us! We got preview photos about a week after the wedding and all of the (~1500 shots) a little over a month after. The only problem is I don’t know how we are going to narrow down to shots for our album p but a problem I’m happy to have!! I would recommend Paul Saunders Photography for anyone who wants great photos for a great value and professionals who make your special day even better!
Paul was unavailable for our wedding date (it was a short engagement), so Derek was our photographer. Both were very responsive and helpful. We outlined the schedule for the day and who/what we wanted photos of, and Derek delivered! He was flexible as our plans changed throughout the day. The photos were beautifully captured and edited – highlighting the surrounding nature while not taking away from the people/events in the photos. Would recommend to any other couple!
Paul was the most amazing photographer we could have chosen for our special day. He was calm and easygoing, and very genuine, which put us at ease. He has a wonderful eye for detail and made me feel beautiful, even though in general I can be overly critical of my appearance.
We had three different locations for photographs (ceremony at the church, our engagement site for our first newlywed photos, and the reception). Paul was happy to go to each and find the most stunning shots of us. He captured touching moments during the ceremony and the reception. When we got our preview photos, and then the full package of about 1000 photos, we were pleasantly surprised that we loved them ALL. Looking at the photos, you can feel the absolute joy everyone felt on our wedding day.
We feel so lucky to have had Paul as our photographer as we now have so many spectacular photos to help us relive our favorite day.
From my first interactions with Paul via email leading up to our wedding, to meeting and working with our photographer Sheila for our wedding, there is nothing negative to say about this business. Everyone was so friendly and responsive. It was absolutely seamless to work with Paul. He even was able to help put together a day of timeline for us to ensure plenty of time for photos. Sheila was so calm and level headed on the day of our wedding. She was encouraging and creative, and we got so many beautiful photos. Absolutely wonderful experience all around!
Paul was great from our first meeting with him. He brought great energy into the wedding photos, made our nephews have fun with our more formal photos, and overall made our day more enjoyable. Would highly recommend to anyone wedding planning. Thank you so much Paul!
Had a fantastic experience with Paul Saunders and his photographer Steph. They made the experience easy, were super professional, and provided excellent photos of our wedding at a reasonable price. Paul was very communicative via email and always responded within 24 hours. Steph was amazing! She was very friendly and creative with how to use the venue. She had amazing ideas!
Paul had Geoff capture our wedding. Paul has been so responsive and helpful since the day we contacted him for photography services. The prices were honest and true and for the amount of pictures and beautiful touches, you can’t beat that! I am so over the moon with what we received and i will forever recommend Paul and his services. We received our photos before the time frame expected. Geoff was flexible and captured every detail and important moment even the random moments through the event/night. I HIGHLY recommend Paul and his team. Thank you so much again!!!
-Mr & Mrs. Chaves ❤️
We chose Paul Saunders Photography because we wanted a professional photographer with diverse wedding experience. On his website, dozens of wedding galleries are available to view, so we could compare photos from venues that were similar to ours. Our wedding was at an indoor venue, and when I emailed Paul asking for examples of indoor weddings that he photographed, he responded promptly with many examples. Overall, he was very responsive to every email and question. His contract documentation was clear and easy to fill out. He provides a variety of packages that suit any budget, ranging from a simple flash drive to physical wedding albums, thank-you cards, and prints. There are flexible hourly options, and the choice to add additional hours if needed. We felt that the packages he offers are well worth their value and very affordable, compared to competitors.
The week before our wedding, we were contacted to talk about our timeline for the day, including arrival time. There were specific people, events, moments, and items that we wanted to be photographed, and our photographer captured all of them! He made everyone feel comfortable and our guests loved him. They felt he was professional, friendly, and fit in seamlessly with the day's events. Shortly after our wedding, we received preview images, and four weeks later we received our digital album. We are so happy with our photos, and so are our friends and family.
Paul and Laura were very professional and responsive. The photos are wonderful! They really captured the key moments of our wedding. Our family and friends (not to mention my wife and I!) all loved the photos!
I am in awe of how professional and talented Paul is. He captured so many moments in our wedding. From my grandfather, to pictures of us and our families and all the list of items I requested to be photographed. He also got many special moments of our guests. In addition to amazing photos, he was so helpful in guiding us throughout our day. He was swift and two steps ahead of everything happening. At one point I needed a quick break before heading to the reception. He guided us through our venue discreetly to our room so we could have a quick breather. Whatever needed to be done, he helped. I also felt he was thoughtful enough to capture everyone at flattering angles and guided everyone posing to look their best. I cannot recommended him enough.
My (now) Wife and I had Paul Saunder's assistant Steph photograph our wedding in October, and it was a dream of a day! Steph made us feel really at ease and comfortable while shooting, giving prompts on what to do to get some really amazing shots. She put up with our large family being overly excited about getting in photos and was able to direct us all to get the shots we wanted (though we did make the mistake of not having both brides in all of the family photos, I would not say that is Steph's fault). After the I-Do's steps got some amazing candid photos of the dances and speeches, and even took our things to get some elegant timeless shots of the rings amongst our flowers and other decor. The flexible photo package options made Paul Saunders Photography appealing to us being able to choose something like a "wedding by the hour" time frame, and I have already recommended then to friends of mine! Thanks Steph for being a wonderful part of our special day!
Paul was absolutely amazing. He was very thorough and got every shot we asked for. He was very quick to respond to my messages even when he was out of town. Paul helped make our day wonderful and kept us laughing even when things got hectic. I cannot say enough good things about him. Just an overall great person and we are so grateful for him!
Paul was great to work with in planning our day, and his colleague Valerie who shot our wedding was also amazing. We appreciated his a la carte pricing and not being locked into a package with things we didn't need. Valerie was very pleasant the day of and professional. She took amazing photos and obliged our guests with sunset portraits on request! After the wedding, we asked Paul to adjust some of the post processing and he was so kind to do so without any extra fees. We could not be happier!
We hired Paul Saunders after searching the website for photographers in our area and reading the great reviews. From our first phone call with Paul I knew we wanted to move forward with using him for our wedding. He wasn’t available for our date but connected us with his associate Tom after sending us information via email as far as reviews for Tom and previous wedding photos that he has done. As we got closer to the wedding we had a call with him just to discuss our wants for pictures. My husband and I both got Covid 2 days before our wedding, luckily our venue was able to fit us in at the end of the month and Tom kept himself available on such short notice and was very kind and supportive. During the wedding he was quick and efficient with his pictures, he took all the pictures we requested and he didn’t get in the way while other things were happening throughout the day. We haven’t gotten our photos back yet but I know they will be perfect! Thanks Tom and Paul
Paul was incredibly communicative, helpful, and understanding throughout the entire process of planning our wedding. While having to work around covid and changes to venues, his responsiveness and kindness made the entire planning process stress-free. On the day of our wedding we had the opportunity to work with Laura. She was friendly, talented, and worked to make sure we captured all of the special moments of our day. Looking back on all of the photos now is like going back and getting to relive our special day all over again. Biggest thank you to Paul and Laura! We would choose them again in a heartbeat!
My fiancé and I really struggled to find a photographer as we are very picky. When we came across Paul we decided to give him a call as we fell in love with his work. From the first call we knew he was the photographer for us as he had such a kind personality and we could tell that he paid a lot of attention to detail. He took the time to get to know us and we felt like our photography services were very personalized to us. We booked Paul about two years prior to our wedding date and he was very responsive during the whole process. One thing I really liked about Paul was that he made an effort to know each of the names of our family members and bridal party. I know our families were presently surprised when he was on a first name basis with them. This added a personalized touch that I don’t think many photographers often think about but Paul definitely did. On our wedding day he showed up early and made us feel very calm and comfortable during the whole process. I have a very fun and loud family that can be hard to reel in but he kept us all organized and we had fun during the whole wedding. We received our pictures and couldn’t have been happier with the final product. We received well over 1600 pictures and all of them are just fantastic and it really captured our day and all the love between our families. I will recommend Paul to anybody I know that’s getting married or wants to have any professional pictures taken as you won’t find a better photographer to share your day with!!
Stop looking for photographers and go with Paul Saunders! From our first phone call with Paul, my wife and I knew that Paul was our guy. Paul has a way of making you feel like you are his only client. Paul's level of caring, dedication, and professionalism are unmatched. Not only did Paul inquire about the smallest of details down to our family members and important people that would be attending our wedding but he genuinely listened to our thoughts and concerns and we felt so important to him throughout the entire process. Paul is incredibly well organized and does a fabulous job taking charge and keeping everyone in order when taking photos. Paul has an excellent sense of humor as well putting nerves at ease on the day of the wedding and helping make it an unforgettable experience. Throughout our time working with Paul, he always stressed one thing in particular. "Our only job on the day of our wedding was to take it all in and enjoy our day as much as possible." Paul was incredible to work with and we cannot thank him enough for helping make our special day an unforgettable experience. -Cam & Sydney Hendley
I don't know where to start with how well he worked our wedding, so I guess I will be a bit eclectic but brief. Paul was everything we were hoping for and more. He worked with us to develop a timeline for the planning process that was clear and didn't take a ton of our time, but helped my partner and I feel very supported by him and his process. He checked in with us in the days leading up to our wedding to confirm the last minute details, and the day of he was everywhere, all at the same time, and the photos were STUNNING. Obviously, on your wedding day you don't get to see every moment, but the photos made it feel like we can relive the whole of the experience. He helped to calm my partner and I down with his very witty humor, and made the experience just that much better at every step. We could not recommend Paul more!

If you are looking for a photographer look no more! Paul Saunders Photography is the Best! Paul was responsive, thoughtful, and professional! Paul took the time to listen to our vision for our wedding day and was able to provide thoughtful and professional advice about organizing our day/time. He connected us with his partner Laura, who was a fabulous photographer. As soon as she arrived, she began working. Laura is very creative, and was well organized and worked quickly to get us on time to the venue. She asked for a detailed list before our wedding day to make sure we got all the group pictures we wanted. We didn't have a videographer and Laura captured the night without missing any memorable moment! Paul and Laura are well experienced with weddings and were so amazing to work with! Kassandra & Blake 9/18/2021
Paul has incredible talent to make everyone feel comfortable and excited for their wedding and the photos. He made us laugh and was so intentional about knowing our family members and having a good time. We loved his thoughtfulness and energy all night. So glad he was our photographer!
We had an amazing experience with Paul Saunders and his team for our wedding. Paul was extremely professional and easy to work with.
To be honest, I didn’t really have a vision for my photos, so I let Paul and Derek really lead the way for the photos. It was pouring rain on our wedding day, so our first look pictures had to be inside. Derek found the most pretty room in our venue we didn’t even know was there, and the photos from this space came out beautifully. He captured so many different photos of our guests, and followed us around throughout the Night to capture all the special moments with our guests. I can’t recommend Paul Saunders photographer more!!!
We are so glad that we hired Paul Saunders Photography for our wedding day. Even with COVID-19 hiccups and re-scheduling, Paul couldn't have been more accommodating. Laura was our assigned photographer, and she surpassed all our expectations. We had a wonderful conversation pre-wedding to discuss all shots that we wanted to capture, and our overall vision for the day. On the wedding day, Laura was well prepared and knew how to calm our nerves! She hit every single photo we wanted on our list, was timely and respectful, fun to be around, and the perfect addition to our day. We have no hesitations in recommending Paul & his team!
My fiancé and I had an engagement shoot with Heather. Heather made it so much fun and easy, and she was even able to help us with some perfect poses. I’m so glad to have booked Paul Saunders for our engagement and wedding photos and I 100% recommend them!!!
Paul Saunders Photography has been amazing to work with. From the beginning, Paul was attentive, quick to respond, and extremely helpful with all our questions. We had to postpone our wedding due to COVID and Paul was so kind and understanding of the situation.
Laura photographed our wedding day. She was kind, professional, and so easy to work with. It felt like we had known her for such a long time. I had spoke to Laura prior to the wedding and let her know I did not want to spend too much time taking photos and she was so organized and helped us move everything along quickly and keep us on schedule.
Lastly, my photos came out AMAZING! I could not be happier with them and they captured all the best moments of our special day. I could not recommend Paul Saunders Photography enough!
We are very fortunate to have met Paul to photo our Wedding! We were excited by Paul's quality of his photos and his creative side were what eon us over. Paul is easy to work with, patient, creative and overall exceptional. We were able to get a teaser on some photos and are overwhelmed by their beauty!
We loved our experience with Paul Saunders Photography! Paul was responsive and accommodating with our necessary date and venue change due to COVID. For our wedding day we were paired up with Laura and Sheila. Laura sent me an email a few weeks before our wedding requesting a timeline and requested pictures. We then spoke on the phone and communicated over email with any minor tweaks that were needed. From there Laura took over and ran the show! It was incredible. My mind was so at ease the day of thanks to Laura’s attention to detail and take charge attitude. Sheila and Laura worked cohesively to get every picture on my list. I am so thankful for their diligence and hard work. I can’t wait to see all of the images!
Thank you again Laura, Sheila, & Paul!
We had a wonderful experience with Paul Saunders Wedding Photography. Paul was responsive and extremely accommodating when we had to change our date due to COVID-19. We were paired up with photographers Laura and Sheila for our big day. Laura reached out a few weeks before the wedding and asked for my timeline and requested pictures. From there she took over and did the rest. She was extremely organized and took charge. It made me feel so at ease on our day and we were so incredibly grateful! Laura and Sheila worked well together and both worked hard to get the right shot! We can’t wait to see all our pictures. Thank you again Laura, Sheila, & Paul!
Laura & Sheila were amazing- the pictures came out absolutely stunning! We rescheduled twice due to Covid and Paul made sure everything was as easy as possible for us! We can't stop looking at our amazing pictures from our wedding day! Laura was so professional!
There's a reason Paul Saunders Photography is so highly rated. Laura photographed our wedding at the Boston Public Library, and we could not be happier with the experience. She made us feel comfortable from our first conversation and had a wonderful knack for capturing the most natural and special moments of the day. We would recommend Paul Saunders Photography to anyone looking for a wedding photographer!
Paul has been wonderful! We booked him for our wedding in October of 2022, and he has been so quick to respond to every email I've sent him (within a day). It was so easy to set up our engagement shoot as well (with his business partner Derek, since it worked best location-wise) and we got our photos back only 4 DAYS after having them taken! And they were all beautiful!! We're so excited to be working with Paul for our wedding!
Paul has an attention-to-detail method to taking wedding photos. Wedding photos portray one of the most special moments in our lives, and I value his intricate work for such an occasion. My one qualm was that Paul can be a bit over the place when it comes to directing those who he is taking photos of. For instance, before the ceremony took place, he approached me to start taking photos. We didn't get much time to talk though and discuss objectives. Rather, we just dived into it. It seemed rather abrupt to me, and for others it could really add to their anxiety on their special day. He also didn't seem to have a pragmatic order of family photos after the ceremony. Part of the problem may have been that he wasn't aware of the bride's/groom's families' names. Therefore, there were times he may have called up the groom's family name when really he intended to have the bride's family come up instead. These details matter a lot for us when executing a photo session flawlessly.
Paul was one of the first vendors we hired. He is extremely detail oriented and easy to work with! Our photographer day of was Stephanie and she was truly AMAZING! Steph made us feel so comfortable and at ease. She kept everyone on schedule day off and was absolutely wonderful to work with. Steph brought a positive, calming attitude to our wedding day. She was fun to work with and SO friendly. Our friends and family all remarked about how amazing and kind our photographer was. We have only seen a sneak peek of our photos thus far, but WOW are they amazing. We are so happy we selected Paul Saunders photography and specifically got to work with Stephanie to capture all the special moments on our wedding day. We highly recommend them, you won’t be disappointed!
This being our first time working with a professional photographer, neither my husband nor I knew what to expect from working with Paul Saunders Photography. Stephanie was our photographer, and I was so grateful for her creativity and thoughtfulness with the shots she was taking. She has an eye for the details, and really planned ahead to find out who we wanted to make sure to get photos with, and any other photos we wanted from our special day!
Looking forward to seeing our photos - they're a great team at Paul Saunders Photography, I know the photos will be amazing!
We got married at the Cambridge Multicultural Arts Center on 07/31/21. Our photographer was Laura and she was an absolute delight to work with. We had a phone call with her two weeks before the event and her positive energy was clear even over the phone. On the day of the event she kept everyone calm and organized while being a beacon of energy. She had great ideas for ways to shoot the First Look photos and clearly is very experienced. Paul handled all the logistics before and after the event and we were very impressed and pleased with how prompt and clear his communication was. He also made it extremely easy to adjust our contract when we had to delay our wedding for one year.
We had to postpone our wedding due to COVID and Paul was amazingly accommodating and responsive throughout the entire process, making rescheduling easy. When it came time to make our final package selections, Paul Saunders Photography has so many options and so much flexibility it was very easy to find something in our price range with exactly what we want.
Our photographer at the wedding was Laura, who was incredible. We had sent her a list of all of the shots that we wanted to make a priority and she made sure to get them all.
She was very professional and was taking pictures 5 minutes after she arrived. For all of the group shots she gave excellent instructions and had all of the shots done very quickly. During the ceremony no one can remember seeing her, but she somehow managed to get pictures from all four sides of the ceremony site. After the ceremony we had the family and wedding party shots, and again Laura wasted no time is starting to take all of the pictures that we had requested. Again during the reception, Laura was very good at blending into the background and getting some incredible shots
The pictures came about 2 weeks after the ceremony, and Paul provided a website link as well as 2 flashdrives that were sent to us in the mail. He managed to send almost 1500 pictures!! All of the pictures look incredible and we couldn't be happier. I would recommend Paul Saunders Photography to anyone and everyone who asks.
Paul was super easy to deal with, especially considering we had to reschedule due to covid. He was always quick to get back to us. We worked with Derek on our wedding day. We had a phone call meeting with him prior to the wedding and he was super amenable to whatever we wanted to do on the day of. He was so easy to deal with and took some great shots. We received an email from Paul within 4-5 days of our wedding with some sneak peek shots and they looked amazing! They were great to work with. We highly recommend!
From day one we had a great experience with Paul and his team, and we couldn't be happier with everything. Paul got on the phone with us very soon after contacting him and spoke with us at length about what our vision was, as well as the experiences of other couples who were planning a wedding during the pandemic. It made us feel really happy with our decision to have a smaller "micro" wedding in lieu of a larger celebration. Paul was not available for our date, but his colleague Sandra was a perfect fit for us. She was able to get all of the photos that we wanted, was very flexible with timing as well as going back and forth between two houses where everyone was getting ready, and even pulled us aside for a sunset photo at one point during the night. We are still waiting on our final photos, but the previews we have seen so far are absolutely beautiful. We would happily recommend Paul Saunders Photography to anyone planning a wedding in the NY/VT/MA area!
Paul Saunders Photography was an excellent choice! Paul was responsive, thoughtful, and professional! Paul listened to our vision for our wedding day and was able to provide thoughtful and professional advice/recommendations about organizing our day/time so we were able to most importantly enjoy our wedding day. He connected us with Laura, who was a fabulous photographer. As soon as she arrived she began working. She worked quickly and efficiently and was organized. She asked for a detailed list before our wedding day to make sure we got all the group pictures we wanted. She was able to gather large groups in a timely manner and due to this, we were able to enjoy our cocktail hour! Laura took many candid shots, which was our request, and was proactive throughout the evening. Paul and Laura are well experienced with weddings and were so amazing to work with!
Response from the Vendor on 07/07/2021
Nothing kicks summer off better than a fun-filled wedding with a pretty cool Cape vibe. You and Shawn pulled it off brilliantly and were amazing to work for. Laura had a lovely time documenting your day. Thank you for being thoughtful with ever...
ything. Your kindness is much appreciated. Cheers.
I am so impressed with Paul Saunders Photography!!! We had our engagement photos taken at Gooseberry Island, and I couldn’t be happier with the way they turned out! Laura was our photographer and made us feel so comfortable! Paul has been amazing throughout the entire process and is so responsive! I cannot wait to see how the wedding photos will turn out!!!
Response from the Vendor on 06/21/2021
Thank you, Chelsey (and Robb), for making your engagement shoot perfect. Laura has a lovely time meeting you and catching many unique moments during your session. Your fabulous style and personalities made her job exceedingly enjoyable. Goosebe...
rry Island was also a perfect backdrop for your beach shoot.
We really enjoyed our experience with Paul! He helped us through a few early nerves because we have never done a photoshoot. Paul was very prepared and knowledgeable and made us feel comfortable. Paul was also able to send us the photos very quickly. We have him signed on for our wedding too and I know that we made the right decision!

Thank you Joe for your review and delighted to hear you enjoyed your engagement shoot. You were both fantastic and made everything very enjoyable for me too. I am thrilled to be working for you and Emily as your photographer next summer. Cheers...

Where to begin?! Being a bride planning to get married during the pandemic was a challenge- Paul was one of the first vendors I hired. I felt that we would be in great hands with him and I was right. He was so flexible and helpful throughout my planning process (that included several venue changes!) Paul was always a calm voice of reason for me during my wedding planning!!
The day of the wedding Paul was very punctual and got amazing shots of me and my girls getting ready. He also got some amazing photos of my now husband and his groomsmen. The ceremony church photos are gorgeous, and the reception photos really capture the fun night that it was. I should add, we had a huge bridal party of about 30 (yes you read that right, 14 groomsmen and 14 bridesmaids) including some very rowdy groomsmen. Paul had such a great way of rallying the troops and getting everyone together for photos effortlessly. He was also a huge help in between the ceremony and reception keeping everyone on schedule so we could head to cocktail hour. He is a pro at what he does.
Something really special that my mom pointed out is that Paul had such a great way of making sure he got special photos of relatives- for example he knew exactly who my moms siblings were & to pull them for photos with my grandpa without her even having to ask. She was so thrilled with this and it really made her day. She will cherish those photos forever!!
Paul, we can't thank you enough. My family and friends have been raving about you- you did a phenomenal job and our photos are stunning!!! THANK YOU!!

I had the best day as your photographer. Your positivity and ‘we’ve got this’ spirit despite the challenges you faced leading up to your wedding, was inspirational to me. Working as part of your team was an amazing experience for me. Thank you ...
for making my job incredibly easy and enjoyable. Thrilled to know you enjoyed everything and love your pictures. Your first dance was a Dancing with the Stars showstopper. Spectacular. Cheers.
Paul is amazing.
He took over 1000 pics in 7 hours and has the ability to be in the right spot at the right time.
I am so happy we chose Paul Saunders Photography.
It was the best choice we made for our wedding. PERIOD!!!

Our wedding was this past August. We had been in touch with Paul for some time, and he has always been very quick at responding and keeping in contact, which I really appreciate. Our photographer was Laura, who did an amazing job with photos. She was very experienced with taking photos and was very patient and helpful. In particular, she did a great job getting through our requested photo list, and working around the flow of the day when things got moved around. She also was helpful in posing us - we are not used to being photographed and had some worries about having so many photos of us through the day, but they came out so great!
Paul was our main point of contact through the whole process. He is very responsive and helpful, and he did a fantastic job with photo editing. We also had a call with him where we planned out the whole day and when times for photos would happen, but Paul also provided some valuable advice on scheduling for the day in general, which was very helpful for us!
I would recommend Paul to others for photography services! We are very happy with our photos.
Paul helped make our day perfect! From the start, Paul was a pleasure to work with and very flexible as we had to change our wedding day! He showed up at our small wedding and helped us coordinate how we were going to enter and when to take photos. He was truly an amazing photographer and you cannot go wrong hiring him! I cannot thank him enough for the amazing experience he helped create the day of our wedding and leading up to it!!
If you are unsure of which photographer to choose from, Paul Saunders is the way to go. We chose Paul Saunders because we wanted quality wedding photos that we could look back on for years to come. They have the experience and have been in the business for a long time. My wife and I didn't have a location in mind and the forecast for the wedding day look bleak with rain. Our photographers, Kaitrin and Allen provided us with numerous ideas just in case of bad weather and luckily for us, the skies cleared up. Kaitrin and Allen were great in providing us with a clear idea on what to expect and told us exactly what we needed to do to capture the perfect moment. They were professional, easy to talk to, and made sure it was the least stressful thing for us to worry about during the wedding day. I have to admit, they are on the pricier side but it is the price you pay if you want your photos to look amazing whether it's on facebook or your wall.
My husband and I hired Paul Saunders Photography for our July wedding and we are very happy with our decision! From the initial phone conversation, Paul was very professional, polite, and willing to answer all of our questions. He was very responsive to emails on the business side of things. We really liked how customizable his photography packages were, which allowed us to pick the perfect one for our budget.
Our photographer was Laura and we cannot say enough good things about her! She did our engagement shoot the previous fall and after that we knew we were in good hands for our wedding day. Laura is creative, extremely personable, and full of positive energy. We had multiple guests tell us how impressed they were with her dedication to capture great photos and we wholeheartedly agree! We love our preview photos and we are so excited to see the rest! Based on how happy we were with our engagement pictures, I am sure we will love our wedding photos as well!
My friend used Paul Saunders Photography for her wedding and I loved the pictures when she got them back so I thought I’d give it a try too for my wedding. My photographer, Laura, was a dream. She dealt with getting my husbands crazy groomsmen to look normal for pictures and went above and beyond to help! (She even helped fix my dress at one point when someone’s coat got stuck on a button and popped it off). This company is extremely affordable and great!
We had the BEST experience with Paul! He was incredibly responsive and throughout leading up to our wedding day. He had such a positive attitude and outlook, and he made our photo "shoot" part of the day FUN! We had a bigger wedding party and he was able to get all the shots we hoped for, and wrangle a big crowd with ease! We would highly recommend!
You will not go wrong hiring Paul Saunders Photography! My husband and I are so glad we did! We read so many of his amazing reviews and they are all so true! Paul was so great to talk to and from start to finish he was always very responsive. He took the time and really wanted to get to know us and what type of wedding and pictures we imagined! We had hired Paul two years before our wedding and during that time he was always willing to answer any questions and help with day of planning! For the day of our wedding we had the great opportunity of working with one of Paul’s photographers, Laura! Laura was so wonderful to have and captured everything we wanted and so much more! She came up with the most amazing and unique ideas for pictures and was so nice! She made us feel so comfortable and had us laughing and smiling through all of our pictures! All of our guests had wonderful things to say about her and can’t wait to see our final album! I would recommend Paul and Laura to everyone and you will not go wrong hiring Paul Saunders Photography!!
Laura was our photographer, and she really made our day special. She was flexible and professional. She ensured I was relaxed throughout the day and got all the shots we wanted. She was easy to talk to from day 1 and got along great with our wedding party. Overall, our experience was hassle free and we always felt like we were in good hands!
Had a great experience working with Paul and Laura, the local photographer. We worked with them for our engagement pictures as well as the wedding itself. We initially decided to go with PSP because of the flexible wedding package - pay by the hour and no requirement to purchase physical copies/books, no watermarks, and tons of online viewing options. Our only hesitation was (of course) the experience/quality. As we quickly learned during the engagement session - Laura was AMAZING and our pictures looked great. Paul was super responsive throughout our long engagement and before/after the wedding too. We honestly couldn't ask for anything else. Would recommend to anyone looking for engagement and wedding pictures...the value is incredible and the quality is the exact same as a photographer you might spend thousands on. Highly recommend!!
Paul was wonderful to communicate with. He was very prompt in all of his responses and worked around our schedule when trying to find time to talk. He covered everything and explained what was included in the packages and what we should expect the day of. We had Laura as our photographer the day of the wedding and she was wonderful! About a week before the wedding she reached out and we went over everything we wanted the day of as well how she would be going about the day. We wanted a lot of candid shots and she definitely delivered! We got to see pictures of things we didn't get to see at the wedding and all of our guests have a great time. She was amazing to work with! Very professional but also fun to work with! She did such an amazing job! We were so comfortable around her and the pictures definitely reflect that. Our pictures are so amazing, we love every one! Our wedding party and families agree that she was awesome to work with! Paul Saunders and his team are incredible to work with! We would highly recommend them to anyone looking for the best photographer!
We booked Paul Saunders Photography and could not have been happier. Communication and working with Paul was so easy. He took the time to get to know us and answer our questions. Our day of photographer was Laura. We cannot say enough kind things about Laura. She made sure she knew exactly what we expected for pictures and kept us and family/friends on schedule throughout the day and night. We did the 6 hour deal and thought this was just enough time to squeeze everything in. Laura was kind, thoughtful, timelessly, respectful, and we were so happy she was there with us on our wedding day. We and our families and friends are just dying to see the pictures! Thank you so much Paul and Laura!
We liked working with Paul from the beginning because he was so communicative and clear about all the details. A lot of photographers we looked into weren't up front about their prices--not so for Paul! He was so clear and responsive. We ultimately had Shayna shoot for our wedding and she was also great. She did was really efficient and good at getting everyone in the photo (especially for the large group shots), and the photos we've seen so far are stunning. We are really happy we went with Paul and Shayna!
Both Paul and Kaitrin were excellent! Very responsive and professional. The quality of her photo is amazing and we were very happy with the result. She was very easy going and adaptable during the wedding, she is the best! (Compared to other vendors that were causing us a headache the day of the wedding and the previous days). We were very happy of having Kaitrin as our photographer. We recommend them 100% excellent work
WONDERFUL! My youngest daughter got married last July and Laura was our photographer. She was EXCELLENT. Punctual and detailed - we couldn't have asked for more. She got some great shots that I never would have thought of - -so personal. She scooted from one place to the next, our home, the church, the venue - she didn't miss a beat. When we got the pictures - they were BEAUTIFUL! So we hired here again for my other daughter's wedding this past April. It was a very different wedding, on the coast of Gloucester. Laura - once again, was punctual, pleasant and so took the time to find out what we wanted and when. We had her going from the venue to the hotel next door, back to the venue, then outside for photos on the rocks and then again at sunset, more photos. She was everywhere - and always with a smile and "got it". Absolutely LOVE her!! Now waiting for the middle daughter ----so we can hire Laura again!
DO NOT HESITATE TO USE THEM! STRONGLY RECOMMEND.
As Paul was at another wedding on our date he sent his colleague Kim to be our photographer. She was amazing! Such a nice, friendly and professional person. She went above and beyond to help out with little jobs we'd forgotten. We were so comfortable with her and it actually felt like she was one of our guests. We have seen a taster of the shots she has taken and they look brilliant. I would definitely recommend Paul Saunders Photography both on value and professionalism. They are easy to contact and the booking process/payment process was easy. Paul will answer any questions in a very timely manner so I was always at ease that they would deliver. And they did.
Paul was communicative throughout our wedding planning process. He immediately got a feel for the style of our wedding and embraced it and integrated it into which shots he prioritized. He asked us which photos we wanted to capture and helped us to create a realistic photo timeline for our wedding day. In the midst of the busyness of wedding planning, it was great to work with someone who we knew would bring his all to the table and who we could 100% rely on. The value for the number of hours that he spent with us on our wedding day was excellent compared to the other photographers that we researched, but we never felt like we were sacrificing on quality or professionalism to get such a good deal. Paul was also good at organizing our large families and wedding party for group photos, which made capturing those shots much less stressful then if he hadn’t been a strong leader. Our photos are gorgeous and we couldn’t be happier with how the day went. Thanks Paul Saunders Photography!
Paul was an amazing photographer to work with from start to finish. He was very detailed, and took the stress out of what could have been a very stressful planning session! On the day of the wedding, he was perfect- being both a fun person for our entire (huge 34 person) wedding party to work with, and encouraging us to be our complete selves. I would recommend to anyone. Thank you Paul for your amazing work!
Paul Saunders photography was wonderful to work with! We had Kim as our photographer and she was very professional and easy going. Kim was very accommodating with all the different ideas I had wanted for pictures. I would deffinitely recommend her for any wedding or event.
So far we have only met Paul twice, on our original consultation and again 2 weeks ago for our engagement photos. He is so professional and attentive, and the accent! He was so flexible when our schedule required rebooking our engagement shoot 3 times. He also came to the shoot and remembered that my engagement ring diamond came from my fiance's grandmother's wedding ring- despite us telling him that over a year ago! We could not believe it! He made our shoot so fun and easy-going and allowed us to add our own ideas. We cannot wait for him to shoot us on our wedding day!!! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!
Paul Saunders photography was an absolute pleasure to work with. He was so attentive and answered any questions I had. He also had so many helpful little hints. Working with Laura to take the pictures was a blast as well. She is so talented. I would highly recommend this company to everyone!!
We hired Paul Saunders photography for our wedding earlier this month. He had sent one of his employees Janisel Rosenthal to photograph our special day. She was amazing! Very creative and extremely nice! Throughout the entire process Paul was always responsive to emails promptly and extremely nice as well. We highly recommend Paul Saunders photography!
Paul was an absolute pleasure to work with! Throughout our entire wedding planning process, Paul was always quick to respond to any questions we had, and sent along very detailed information. On our wedding day, he was so professional and amazing with time management, as we were ahead of schedule most of the day. This allowed us to take even more pictures than we anticipated! We would highly recommend Paul to anyone, and cannot wait to see our wedding pictures! Thank you so much, Paul!!
Punctual, professional, organized, managed the crowd well, great to work with. Made us and our guests feel at ease.
Paul shot my sister-in-law's wedding and we absolutely loved the experience we had, we knew that when it was our time we wanted to book with him. He was unfortunately already booked (a sign of how great he is), but lucky for us he works with the amazing Laura and we were able to book with her. Laura was so fun to work with! She even gave us sneak previews throughout the day of our photos (which looked amazing and we can't wait to get the final product!) I cannot recommend Paul and Laura enough. The pricing is completely affordable and the experience is just great.
Working with Kim was excellent for our engagement photos. We are so excited to work with her for our wedding. She was punctual, listened to all of our ideas, gave us some really great photo ideas, super easy to work with, and the pictures looked great.
Paul is super easy to get in touch with and is very helpful! Our sneak peek photos from photographer Kim and edited by Paul turned out great. Can't wait to see the rest of the pictures!
Working with Paul was such a great experience! He was so responsive to emails and always there to answer questions. We worked with Kim the day of the wedding and she was wonderful! We had a large wedding party and large families to work with and she handled it all so well. I can't wait to see all of the great photos she took! I highly recommend working with Paul!
Paul is absolutely amazing!! We used him for both our engagement shoot and wedding. He is a pleasure to work with. The perfect combination of professional and fun! He makes sure that you are enjoying every minute of your wedding while snapping fabulous photos. He’s not afraid to get down on the ground and roll around in order to get the best shot possible. We are so happy that we chose Paul to be our photographer! One of the best decisions we made!!!
We booked Paul for our wedding in Lincoln, MA at the Pierce House. It was such an easy process. He was so accessible via email and answered all our questions that came up surrounding the wedding. Unfortunately, he was not available for our weekend but sent his colleague, Kim, to fill in. She was great! It started to rain just after our ceremony but she continued to press on through to make sure we got enough pictures with our wedding party. She followed us around all night capturing all the best moments. We could not be happier.
Paul was incredible! We changed our wedding venue and his team was more than willing to travel. We did have a last minute Photographer change due to a family emergency, but Paul was in constant contact with us to make sure everything was perfect. Tony, the Photographer that we worked with was professional and easy-going. He made us feel calm and absolutely captured our day perfectly. I couldn't have asked for a better team!
Paul was amazing! He was the perfect mixture of professional and witty. His enthusiasm and jokes made us smile throughout the whole shoot which made for some amazing shots. I definitely recommend Paul!
Easy to work with and flexible with payments

Working with Paul with Paul Saunder Photography was so easy and stress free. Anytime I sent him an email he would get back to me usually within 24hrs. He was so thorough and detail oriented with all of his responses. The day of our wedding we worked with Heather one of Paul’s photographers and she was absolutely amazing! She got all the shots that we asked for and she was very fun but also extremely professional. We would 100% recommended Paul Saunders Photography and his team!
