We found Solare Wedding Photography on The Knot, and after reading review after review of 5-star ratings, we knew we needed to reach out to them. Working with Cory was an absolute dream. She shot our engagement photos, and from that moment, we were certain we had made the best decision.
Cory spent well over her allotted time with us, capturing countless gorgeous and raw photos. She immediately made us feel comfortable in front of the camera. Her calm and laid-back demeanor was exactly what Kara and I needed, especially on our wedding day.
On the big day, we were once again blown away by Cory and her calming presence. She and her backup shooter were both absolutely phenomenal. We had so much fun taking all our photos together and felt relaxed and at ease throughout the entire process.
We are incredibly grateful for Cory and the thousands of beautiful photos she captured of the best day of our lives. We cannot recommend her and Solare Wedding Photography enough. If you're looking for a wedding photographer, look no further—Cory is simply the best.
Cory exceeded our expectations in capturing the magic of our October wedding! Our initial encounter during the engagement session was delightful – she accommodated our energetic goldendoodle puppy with grace, seamlessly integrating him into the photoshoot. Cory's warmth, professionalism, and responsiveness immediately put us at ease. After a thorough phone interview and seeing her impressive portfolio on The Knot, we knew she was the perfect fit for our big day.
Now, onto the wedding itself – Cory's work is simply breathtaking! The photos surpassed our wildest expectations, garnering countless compliments. Her talent is undeniable, and we couldn't be happier with the results. If you're seeking impeccable and stunning wedding photography paired with a down-to-earth approach, look no further than Solare Wedding Photography!
Cory was the absolute best not only on my wedding day, but throughout my whole planning process! She was able to help me make the timeline that worked for my wedding and was available to answer any of my questions. On top of that, I just received the over 1,500 photos from our wedding day organized in an easy way to look through everything. Cory and her team are so professional and they got every shot we didn't even know we wanted. The pictures are absolutely stunning as well! I love how bright and vibrant the colors in the photos look, and we have so many options to choose from! I couldn't recommend Cory and Solare Photos enough!
Nora was absolutely wonderful. She rolled with the punches (read: weather) on our wedding day, managed to corral our massive families with good humor, and helped us get comfortable in front of the camera, which resulted in beautiful photos. Her team was funny and warm, and generally lovely to spend time with on our day.
We absolutely loved working with Nora and her team at Solare Photography! We booked an engagement session with her in 2022, followed by our wedding at Birch Wood Vineyards in September 2023. We had the most fun and our pictures were beautiful! It was a rainy day on our wedding day, but you would never even know based on the pictures. She even went out of her way to make sure we were able to have our wedding outside as we planned even in the rain and we truly appreciated everything! She is so talented and creative too! Thank you so much to Nora and her amazing team!!
We had Solare do both our engagement and wedding photos this past summer and we couldn't have been happier. Nora did our engagement session and her and her wife Lauren-Shelby worked together for our wedding. They were both a joy to work with, very professional and really made the experience fun. We told Nora for our engagement session we wanted to do a combination of traditional photos as well as some that were fun and less traditional and she was able to capture exactly what we were looking for. They were also very flexible when it came to working around the weather when some rain made an appearance on our wedding day; and were even able to use it to their advantage when photographing to get some really beautiful images. We really can't recommend them enough.
We were so happy with our experience with Nora and the Solare team for our wedding photography. Due to weather we had a few last minute decisions to make on location and Nora was accommodating and on top of every minute of the schedule. The photos are beautiful and captured our day so well.
Cory and her team were absolutely amazing! I cannot say enough good things about the photos she captured on our wedding day! She was so easy to work with and we could be ourselves around her. She made it fun and captured the most beautiful sunset photos as well! Highly recommend Solare! Best decision I made for our wedding!
I highly recommend Solare! We worked with Cory and she was a rockstar. She has such a creative eye and both our engagement & wedding photos came out amazing. Everyone is in awe of our photos. I trusted Cory through the entire process and it paid off. Her easy-going personality made us feel comfortable. She was organized, punctual, and helped me plan out our wedding day timeline perfectly. She had so many good ideas and I appreciated her honesty when things didn’t look quite right so that we could get the perfect shot. The second shooter was great too. I’m so happy we went with Solare to capture our memories!
I chose Solare because they were recommended by our venue (Smith Barn). Cory was very professional and easy to work with. We had our engagement shoot about a year before our wedding and it gave us a good idea of what to expect on our wedding day. Communication ahead of our wedding was clear and everything was organized on the day of. I will also mention that Solare's prices are reasonable as wedding photographers go. I would recommend them to a friend :).
I am a minimalist bride who wanted to elope with no photographers, I dread wedding photos. With a push from my husband, we did things the more traditional way. We reached out to Solare for our photos and I am so happy we did. They made the photo process enjoyable and I actually had a blast doing it. They captured the real me, the real him, showing the authenticity of us as a couple. Their photo quality is excellent, so lively and representative of that day. I would highly recommend them and look forward to using Solare in the future.
I highly recommend hiring Solare Photography if you want your event to be perfect :) I started working with Nora early on and she made everything so simple and stress-free. She was very responsive and helpful throughout the entire communication/planning process, and was happy to accommodate all of our requests. Nora and her team absolutely killed it at our wedding, capturing the most beautiful, and fun moments, even down to the little, but very important, details. Thank you Nora and team for helping make our day that much more memorable and amazing!
Looking for photographers was a little stressful at first because I wasn't exactly sure what I was looking for, but when I stumbled across Solare's Instagram, I had no doubts in my mind that I needed them to capture our wedding! Nora was so friendly, thoughtful, and communicative leading up to the day of the wedding. On the day of the wedding, Nora and Cory blew us away with their attentiveness, care, and effort. They made the experience totally comfortable and smooth from beginning to end. I absolutely cannot recommend Solare enough!
Cory and her team at Solare Wedding Photography are the absolute best! Their ability to capture the pure joy, genuine emotions, and beauty of our wedding day was beyond our wildest dreams. Beyond that, the whole team is responsive with great communication and planning skills, incredibly kind, and so talented. My husband and I had never had professional photos done before, yet Cory made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera and we truly had so much fun. They also helped us to get photos done quickly so we could enjoy our own wedding - it was a perfect balance. Choosing Solare Wedding Photography was the best decision for our wedding day and we cannot recommend them highly enough!!!!
We booked Solare Photography for our 8/5/2023 wedding. Nora is incredible! We also used her for our engagement photos and our welcome party photos. Nora kept us on time for our entire wedding day, while getting thousands of amazing photos. She has such a good eye for creative yet classic photos, you will not regret booking them! We have gotten so many comments on our photos already and we've only received our sneak peaks! We are so excited to see the rest, and have no doubt they will be incredible!
Cory shot both our engagement photos and wedding and was so wonderful to work with! She has an exceptional creative eye, used some really unique and beautiful techniques, and highlighted all the details of our wedding day so beautifully. We love how vibrant and artful all of our photos came out. Everyone at Solare was extremely kind, professional, and fun to work with from start to finish and we’d recommend them without hesitation!
We loved working with Solare! Nora was extremely communicative and helpful during the planning stage. On our wedding day, she turned it up to another level! She was efficient, gave great direction, and made our pre-wedding shoot super smooth. She took charge when we needed it, going above and beyond to make sure everything went as planned.
We wanted to work with Solare because we loved their focus on fun, capturing sentimental and silly moments along with traditional, posed photos. Nora did a great job with all of the above! We couldn't be more happy!
I honestly cant put into words how absolutely perfect Solare has been before/during/after our wedding. From the very first phonecall, we knew we had made the right decision in choosing to work with Cory. The communication was consistently amazing throughout the planning process – we never had to wait for a response to a question or wild idea we had, even when we suggested an engagement photos at a haunted house. Cory was on board and ready (and even showed up with a smoke bomb) with a smile on her face, despite having to reschedule THREE times because of unruly weather. We were FLOORED with the end result. She continuously made us feel comfortable in front of the camera, despite us being super awkward. Wedding day had some bumps on our end with timing but Cory remained professional and got through all photos we wanted and were important to us without skipping a beat. She never made us feel uncomfortable or weird asking for specific things, she felt like a friend that was there with us, not a vendor. She went above and beyond every single step of the way. We got sneak peaks back a few days after the wedding, followed by over a hundred a few weeks after that. Our entire wedding gallery is absolute perfection. It truly was a dream – her artistic ability to see shots we couldn’t even dream of helped create the most gorgeous plethora of wedding photos we will happily share and look back on for the rest of our lives. She got all the moments we missed, and the ones we were part of and forgot happened. Cory, you have a special place in our heart forever. If you need a photographer, look no further – just book it. You will not be disappointed.
Nora and her team were fantastic! From the initial consult to after the wedding, Nora was extremely attentive and helpful. She made our big day stress free and captured every little detail that we will look back on for years to come. Nora knew the best times to pull us away for those perfect shots, we are so grateful for her expertise! Quality of the photos blew us away, and I would highly recommend her to anyone.
Oh my GOSH, I cannot express my gratitude and love I have for Solare and each photographer that makes up this team. They were amazing to deal with from the first point of contact all the way to receiving my unbelievable wedding album. This group is top notch, super professional and clear but also a ton of fun to work with. They made such a positive difference in our wedding day, I cannot even describe it. They not only got breathtaking photos of my husband and I but they also got incredible shots of the family, wedding party, guests, details, decor, and irreplaceable reception photos that had us dying laughing and crying. Everyone on this team is so compassionate and caring and exceeded all expectations! All of our friends and family were also blown away and jealous that their wedding photos do not come close to ours. Thank you, Solare for capturing our day!
We used Solare for our wedding and engagement photos, and it was a fantastic experience! Nora was kind and really experienced. She was able to support us, and was great with our families, wedding party and guests. The pre-planning sessions were great - I was able to show her some ideas and she went from there. I recommend her 100%, and would hire her again in a heartbeat!
I am so impressed with our photos! Cory and Bethany did a spectacular job catching our special day. Cory's energy was amazing! There was a full moon on our wedding night and she stayed to help capture photos of that with us. The photos are crisp, vivid, and capture so many moments from the day. Cory was very responsive before, during, and after our wedding. Could not have asked for a better photographer!
Surprisingly our wedding photos lacked creativity and attention for detail. When confronted about this, excuses were made and accountability was avoided. Work appears great on the portfolio examples, but missed the mark for our big day. Very disappointment but we will make the most with what we have. Thank you anyway.
Solare Wedding Photography was absolutely incredible to work with. From my first planning call with Nora, I knew I was in the best hands. She made my husband and I so comfortable during all of our first look and other couple photos and everything turned out so beautiful. The photos turned out absolutely beautifully and Nora’s direction throughout the day and night made sure we got all of the photos we were looking for and more. I highly suggest Solare Wedding Photography to any couples looking for a photographer!!
We found Solare through our good friends who hired Cory for their wedding. Cory’s style is so unique and beautiful. The attention to detail and quality of her photography is incredible. Cory was amazing to work with throughout our entire (very long thanks to COVID) engagement. Our engagement photos were beautiful and Cory was so gracious to do the shoot after having done an early morning elopement the same day. Cory truly loves to take photos and you can tell!
Cory was incredibly helpful planning the timeline of our wedding this past July. She helped us to make sure we had enough time to get the photos we wanted and still be able to enjoy the day. On the day of the wedding she was very professional and ran all over to get the perfect shots despite the heat wave. Looking through the photos brings back all the emotions of the day itself and we feel so lucky to have all these memories captured.
We’ve now had the pleasure of working with Cory for our engagement shoot, for our friends’ wedding, and our own. Seeing her work is wonderful and the end result is stunning. We’ve received so many compliments!
We are in our wedding years with many friends and family members getting married. We’ve seen many photographers and can say without a doubt that the coverage and quality Solare provides is unparalleled. Highly recommend Solare! You will not regret it!
We knew from the minute we had our first call with Nora that we had to book her for our wedding, and we ended up booking her for both of our weddings — a Covid micro ceremony and our big celebration! She was incredible during the planning process…responsive, organized and a joy. She fit in perfectly and made us feel so comfortable, capturing everything we asked for and more. We will be partnering with Nora for all of our future photography needs! Most importantly, her photos are absolutely stunning. She photographs emotions beautifully, and we were in happy tears when we got our photos back. We highly recommend Nora as a photographer and partner.
Cory was so awesome to work with through every step of the process! We absolutely loved working with her for our engagement shoot and she made us feel so comfortable right from the start. She was great with communication throughout the entire wedding planning process and provided really helpful suggestions as well as a very detailed planning document to make sure we got all the shots we wanted without needing a ton of discussion the day of. We’ve only seen a preview of our photos from the wedding so far, but they are INCREDIBLE and we can’t wait to see the rest! Cannot recommend Solare enough!
Nora was amazing!!!! We hit it off from our very first conversation, had so much fun with her at out engagement shoot, and appreciated her organization leading up to our wedding day. She made the whole process feel EASY - we didn't have to stress to think of every shot and felt confident she understood our vision. Nora and her team made us feel confident, comfortable, and most importantly helped us have fun. Their work is truly art. The joy, love, beauty, and fun that filled our day is captured in every photo - the candid moments they captured are so wonderful to look at to revisit the day. I seriously cannot thank the team at Solare enough for their amazing work. I only wish I could do it all again!!
We loved working with Cory! We got a very nice mix of traditional shots and some more artsy photos with cool lighting, and Cory even got us on the roof of the hotel for some sunset pictures. My dad typically takes a lot of family photos and he really appreciated Cory’s attention to detail (especially making sure all the guys took stuff out of their pockets). Cory also did us a huge extra favor - our wedding was the day before Mother’s Day and she sent photos in to CVS (after getting home late after the wedding!) for us to give to our moms the day after the wedding. (They loved it!)
Cory is unbelievable! She is easy going and makes everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera. Her eye and creativity shine in all of her photos. She captured all the special moments I was hoping for on my big day. She’s a true artist. 10/10! 5 stars!!
Cory and her team are absolutely one of the best vendors we’ve ever worked with. So hands on, professional and personal, from the engagement photos to the wedding and everything in between! Neither of us are very outgoing and photogenic but with Cory we felt comfortable the whole way. Cory had clear communication with us from day one and was always accommodating to our changing needs and limited availability. We love all our pictures and our families all talk about how we couldn’t have chosen a better photographer. If you want the best photography company in the business , Solare is your only option.
Choosing Solare Wedding Photography was the absolute BEST decision we could have ever made!!!! I would give Cory a million stars if I could!!! My husband and I got married in November and finding the perfect wedding photographer was our number one priority. Cory exceeded all of our expectations, and she went above and beyond to ensure that our day was absolutely perfect in every single way!! During the wedding planning process, Cory was such a great resource and friend to us. Cory instantly formed an incredible relationship with us, and we knew right away that we had made the best decision ever. She was super responsive, and we reached out to her for EVERYTHING during our wedding planning process, even the smallest details. Cory always made us feel like her top priority and put us at ease every step of the way. You could tell she really cared about us, and her talent, organization, kindness, and attention to detail are unparalleled. On our wedding day, Cory was unbelievable!!! She captured every moment absolutely perfectly, and she captured our personalities, as well as every moment and all of the energy from our big day perfectly. She had incredible attention to detail, and she was extremely well organized. On our wedding day, we had a beautiful sunset, and she quickly suggested that we do a photoshoot in the apple orchard with her during the sunset. She had such an incredible vision that matched our vision perfectly, and she was so flexible during our big day-- her talent is amazing, and she truly made such thoughtful decisions in the moment that made our photos so personalized, unique, and stunning. My husband and I continue to treasure that photoshoot, as we had so much fun running through the orchard. Our photos reflect the pure bliss and happiness we were experiencing, and we feel so grateful that Cory thought of that, since it was our favorite part of our special day. We had so much fun capturing such special moments with Cory and her team, and seeing the way they captured every detail from our wedding was incredible. Cory's talent, skills, organization, timeliness, attention to detail, and wonderful personality truly put my husband and I at ease, and we had the best time laughing, smiling, and enjoying every second of our wedding day thanks to her. Cory told us that she was invested in making sure our day was perfect, and she back up her words with her actions every step of the way!!! Cory and her team are the best of the best! Cory-- thank you from the bottom of our hearts for being the best wedding photographer we could have ever dreamt of, and for being such an incredible person and friend to us!! Our wedding photos are better than we ever could have even imagined, and they captured our day perfectly!!! We still look at them every single day! You truly captured every single detail and moment, from the best dance moves, biggest smiles, beautiful scenery, all of the people, personalities, and energy! We can't begin to thank you enough! The talent and energy you brought to our day made our wedding SO much fun, and now we have the best photos to treasure and remember the day by for the rest of our lives!
Cory was fantastic to work with. She was very communicative about the process before our wedding and really helped everyone relax during the event. I feel super uncomfortable getting my picture taken so I needed some support from my photographer that day. She nailed the romantic look I was going for and the photos are great!
As soon as I got engaged, there was no doubt in my mind that I wanted my good friend Cory to shoot our wedding. I am so happy I chose Solare, not only because of Cory, but the images she captured were amazing. She captured our personalities. You can see by the photos, she loves what she does and she is damn good at it!! I highly recommend using Solare for your future wedding!!
Choosing Solare Wedding Photography was one of the best decisions we made! From the start, I could tell they would be the perfect match for us. During our initial phone call, we spoke with Cory and she was so friendly, flexible, professional and laid back. She answered any and all questions we had and was super communicative throughout the whole process. We met Cory in person for the first time at our engagement photo shoot and right off the bat she made us feel so comfortable. We had so much fun and she kept us laughing the whole time. On our wedding day, we had the pleasure of having Cory and Nora as our photographers and they were absolutely amazing. Not only did the pictures come out better than I ever could have imagined, but Cory and Nora captured everything. They calmed all of my nerves and never made me feel like a camera was on me. I cannot wait to cherish these pictures forever. I can't recommend Solare enough!
Solare Wedding Photography is AMAZING. We had our photographer back out 3 months before our wedding and I started to look elsewhere. Solare was slightly out of our budget at first, but I can't tell you how happy I am that we spent more than we expected. Their work is out of this world. You will not be disappointed.
We had such an wonderful experience with Solare! These ladies were so organized and took away so much stress from our wedding day. I would absolutely recommend them for anyone I know for their special day! These photos captured all of the amazing emotions from our wedding day. We will definitely be returning customers for holiday and family photos :)
Nora was absolutely amazing to work with! My mom and I even had help getting into my dress. The pictures were beautiful and we had so much fun. Nora even stayed a little later to be able to get a special photo of us. I can’t recommend enough.
Solare was a pleasure to work with and was sure to capture every detail of our special day. They were so friendly and true professionals. The results were more beautiful than I could have ever imagined. They have a creative eye that will turn your wedding photos into a work of art. I would HIGHLY recommend!
Cory and Perri went above and beyond capturing our special day! She made everyone feel comfortable and helped to work with our unique family circumstances. Sorry for covering you both with champagne 😂 The picture is totally worth it!
Unbelievable photography!!! We hired Solare Wedding Photography for our wedding originally planned for August 2020. When we had to reschedule due to COVID, Nora was very responsive and accommodating. We had the honor of having her and her team shoot our wedding on 5/22/21. I am so impressed with how easy and kind they were to work with. They made us feel so relaxed and comfortable the entire day. Though I haven't received the full reel of photos yet, Nora showed me a few sneak peaks and I am speechless. They look like they are straight out of a magazine! I have no doubt the rest of the photos will be just as fantastic. On top of her great team and great photography skills, she really let us enjoy our day uninterrupted. She captured us and our guests as we carried throughout our day in true, natural celebration rather than a string of posed photos. It was a joy to work with Solare Photography and I could not recommend them more highly! Thank you for capturing our day in such beautiful, unique memories that I know we will cherish forever!
I cannot say enough good things about Solare and Nora. We were originally supposed to get married in 2020 but had to postpone due to the pandemic (and changed plans several times!). Throughout the whole process Nora was so supportive, flexible, and understanding.
When it came time to our actual wedding day, Nora was phenomenal. Neither myself or my husband are used to being photographed so much but Nora and her assistant instantly made us feel at ease and made it fun! I felt like I had an extra friend with me throughout the night. She stole us away a few times for sunset and night time photos that came out AMAZING in our sneak peek! And speaking of our sneak peek, we have gotten so many compliments already about how great the pictures are! I would recommend Solare to anyone planning a wedding in MA or NH!
Hiring Nora as our wedding photographer was the best decision my husband and I made! We had originally planned a larger ceremony in Vermont for our October 2020 but, but our venue asked us to postpone our wedding until after the pandemic. Joe and I decided we still wanted to get married and asked Nora if she would be willing to get up at the crack of dawn and hike a mountain with us to shoot our small COVID ceremony. Nora, being the amazing photographer she is, agreed and she took the most beautiful pictures I could have imagined! We literally cannot thank her enough for being so flexible with our changing plans. I would 100% recommend Nora and Solare to anyone who is looking for a fantastic photographer!
Cory was so amazing! Not only were the photos incredible, she was incredibly kind and easy to work with. Every photo came out great and Cory made the whole process so smooth. I cannot recommend Solare Wedding Photography enough!
Cory did an amazing job with our mini wedding and engagement session! She is so easy to work with, quick to reply to texts and emails, and most importantly our photos came out absolutely amazing. We can't wait to work with her again for our wedding reception next year! I can't recommend Solare Wedding Photography enough, they're the best!
I would recommend Solare Wedding Photography to anyone getting married! Nora did an AMAZING job. She was awesome to work with and our photos came out beautifully.
Amazing! My now husband and I hired Solare Wedding Photography for our wedding and they were incredible! We can't say enough times how fantastic Nora and Katie were. Due to COVID our wedding plans changed drastically but Nora was by our side the whole time making sure we had the best day possible and we cannot thank her enough! We were so emotional looking at the photos they took and so forever thankful to Solare. We'd recommend Solare to anyone looking to get professional photos done!
Nora and Cory were amazing! Their customer service is great. We had to make a lot of changes due to Covid and they were accommodating throughout the entire process.
Nora and her team are absolutely amazing! From the very beginning they made us feel like part of their family and were so caring through the whole process. The day of our wedding went perfectly with Nora and her team guiding us effortlessly through getting ready, individual, wedding party and family photos. Their creativity and experience showed as they helped us pose and get amazing, artful and loving photos that perfectly captured our day. We can't say enough about their professionalism and quality of work! 110% recommend!
We cannot say enough about how amazing Cory is to work with. From our initial meeting, to driving 2+ hours for our engagement session, to working with us as we had to make changes due to Covid, Cory was always personable and rolled with the punches while going above and beyond for us. Aside from her professionalism, her talent is remarkable. Cory can find the best shots in the most uncommon places, and we have been so happy with all the shots we have seen. As someone who is extremely self conscious about how I look in pictures, I have always loved Cory's pictures of me, which says a lot!! You can't go wrong with Cory!
Before we were even engaged, we had fallen in love with Solare’s photography style so they were one of our easiest vendor decisions.
Cory took our engagement photos at Higgins Gardens at WPI, our alma mater. Though she had never shot there before, the pictures came out amazing and she really made us feel comfortable in front of the camera. She stayed with us for over an hour and provided us with plenty of poses but also encouraged us to offer up our own ideas.
In April 2020, we made the decision to postpone our big celebration and get married in a small ceremony on our original date. Cory was so flexible and helpful through the whole ordeal even as we changed our plans multiple times.
On June 5, 2020 we had our “minimony” in Pierce Park. Cory was amazing; she was so unobtrusive but captured so many beautiful photos! She really went above and beyond, chasing off interlopers in the public park and crawling through bushes to get the perfect shot.
She turned around our photos very quickly and even sent us a few sneak peeks to post on social media the day after the wedding. Cory is so personable and easy to work with and our photos are gorgeous - they perfectly capture our day. We can’t recommend her highly enough and can’t wait to work with her again next year at our big celebration!
Nora delivered the most beautiful photos of our mini ceremony that we could have imagined. Solare communicates easily and quickly. Nora adapted as our plans changed time and time again and was supportive and gracious about it. We are so excited to shoot with Nora again for our full ceremony!
The moment we met Cory we immediately felt comfortable and after seeing her work we knew we had to book her for our 6/6/20 wedding. We bought the package with the engagement shoot (highly recommend). Cory has such an artistic eye and really makes your "vision" come to life. She did our shoot in the seaport in downtown Boston. She knows the best spots, the best angles, you name it. ALL of our engagement photos came out absolutely perfect.
Fast forward to March 2020 and we were hit with a major dilemma. Do we reschedule? Do we cancel altogether? Cory was so flexible, understanding, and really was a listening ear in a time of utter turmoil for us. She stood by our side when we postponed to August 2020 and when we had to ultimately cancel everything altogether. We decided to hold an intimate backyard ceremony on our original date.
Fast forward to June 6, 2020. We got married in my BIL & SIL's backyard. We were originally supposed to get married at the beautiful Gardens at Elm Bank in Wellesley, MA, so we were definitely a little bummed about that. Looking at the photos...you couldn't even tell we were just in a backyard. The photos were just STUNNING. Somehow Cory made their backyard feel like an enchanted forest and so, so special. She truly is such a natural and captured all of the important moments from the wedding. She is so talented, we can't recommend her enough.
Solare Wedding Photography is great! Cory is a very sweet person and has been a pleasure to work with up to this point. Unfortunately, our wedding was postponed to next summer, due to COVID-19. Throughout this very stressful process, Cory was super patient, kind, and understanding. We cannot wait for her to capture our beautiful day. When looking for wedding photographers, we wanted someone who was understanding of our needs and who had a keen eye for detail – after meeting with Cory, we knew she was going to be our photographer. Her photos are nothing but amazing and eye catching and we love the colors and angles she uses in her photos. We cannot wait for our wedding next year and to see our photos! Thank you up to this point, Cory! We really appreciate your kindness and patience. I will leave another review next year, which I know will be an amazing one.
Nora and her team beautifully captured our wedding day, July 13, 2019. From getting ready photos, first look, the ceremony, and the reception- every moment is reflected gorgeously in the huge amount of prints we spent months sorting through! Nora was professional and easy to be around throughout the day, and captured it all, while helping us feel comfortable and at ease. Solare has been wonderful throughout the entire process- I could not recommend them more highly!
If i could Nora 1 million stars, I would!
She not only takes beautiful pictures, but was so kind, calming and fun the day of! She made the whole process feel simple from the very start - which is hard to do when it comes to wedding planning.
Thank you Nora & the team at Solare!
Amber and I hired Solare Photography for our October 5, 2019 wedding and couldn’t be happier! From the time we first contacted Solare, Cory was so helpful and knowledgeable that our experience couldn’t have been better. Whether Cory was guiding us through the process, hiking up a mountain with us for our engagement photos or capturing every moment at our ceremony and reception, everything was above and beyond what we had ever expected. We also had a second photographer, Bethany, and she was just as great! Whether she was capturing the moments of me and my groomsmen getting ready or freezing on the top of the mountain with us before the ceremony, she was able to wrangle all of us guys (which I’m sure wasn’t easy) and take every photo that we wanted, plus even more! We will always recommend Solare Photography to our family and friends. They were amazing and we are so thankful that we had them there at our special celebration.
If you are looking for experienced, easy-going, and talented photographers…look no further! Solare Photography exceeded my expectations for my wedding photos. Nora and Katie captured the emotion and excitement throughout entire day and even provided our sneak-peak to us before we made it back from our honeymoon! They were professional and fun with our crazy families and bridal party while setting up our group pictures after the ceremony. The photos have a natural and soft touch and do not look like any effort was taken in editing them, which is something that stood out to me when comparing Solare with other photographers prior to my wedding.
I wasn’t sure what to expect since my husband and I did not do an engagement photoshoot with Nora since we were living in 2 different cities leading up to the wedding. Nora assured me that she would guide us and set up the perfect scene for the photos while keeping it fun and light-hearted. And she did just that! One of the small things she did that stood out to me in getting a candid photo of me and my husband is that she asked him to look at me and share his favorite part of the day. It was simple yet got us laughing and smiling in a way that was more natural than if she had said look at each other and “act natural”.
We can’t wait to share and print our beautiful wedding photos with our family and friends. Thank you Nora & Katie!
Cory and the Solare team was amazing. Prompt, professional, and accommodated our religious needs extremely well. And of course, the photos turned out amazing. I highly recommend.
Cory was absolutely amazing! She made my husband and I feel completely comfortable, starting from our engagement shoot right through the wedding day. We couldn't of been more happy with the whole process and the photo's are absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!
Our venue recommended Solare and we are very thankful for that. Cory was AMAZING and made us feel so comfortable. She was easy to communicate and captured everything we asked. We also had out engagement session with her and LOVED our pictures. Highly recommend.
Nora was fantastic. She was easy to work with and creative at the same time. I have a photo/video background and am very happy with the high quality pictures I have see so far! Highly recommend her to anybody!
After working with Cory as the Maid of Honor in my best friends wedding, I knew when I got engaged that Solare was the only photography company for our wedding day. Cory was incredible to work with, always available to respond to my (very frequent) texts with new ideas and questions about our wedding day. She offered great insight and helped to put my mind at ease many times. Both my husband and myself do not love being the center of attention, but Cory made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. The day of our wedding she was amazing, keeping us on schedule and capturing all of the photographs that we had dreamed of. It's hard not to gush about how amazing the photographs turned out. Without reservation I would recommend Cory and the Solare Wedding Photography group for your wedding day! If you want gorgeous pictures, someone fun and easygoing to work with, it doesn't get better than Solare Wedding Photography! Do yourself a favor and schedule a phone conversation with them today, you will not be disappointed!
Solare was simply the best! We worked with Cory and Perry on our big day and we could not be happier with everything. Cory and Perry were easy going, fun, and kept us on track. They were able to capture everything we asked for and more! The pictures were beautiful and well done. We will be recommending them to all our friends who are getting married!
I can’t say enough great things about Nora and Katie. They were absolutely amazing!! We fell in love with Nora’s work through several of our friends weddings. Nora came HIGHLY recommend and we knew we needed to have her the second we met her. Leading up to the wedding, she was very responsive and worked with meeting around our crazy schedule.
Nore and Katie were more than just photographers on the day of the wedding...they did it all! They were the absolute dream team! Nora had every tool you could possibly think of and anything I needed, they did it! It was about 95 degrees the day of the wedding and any time we took a break, Katie was right there with a fan and some water. They went above, beyond and back around!
Both Nora and Katie were so kind, calm and funny!! They were worth every single penny!! I could not believe how affordable they were. They are better than all of the photographers I was looking at and had much better deals. The best thing we did was hire them!!
If you are going to splurge on anything, splurge on your photographer!!! You will not be disappointed with Solare!!!
Solare Wedding Photography was so amazing to work with! Cory and Perri shot our wedding and got every last detail. They made sure we got all of the photos we wanted and reminded us throughout the night of pictures we wanted to take. They made all of us feel comfortable in front of the camera and did an amazing job of capturing the entire day and all of our guests that were there. HIGHLY recommend Solare for anyone who is looking for a wedding photographer!
I worked with Corey and Jess and they were just fantastic I have never felt so comfortable behind the camera. They are so creative and fun I couldn’t be happier with our photos came out!
Cory is absolutely amazing, I cannot praise her enough! She photographed my brothers wedding and I liked her so much I booked her for my own. She is reasonably priced for having two photographers and for the quality she is 100% worth it! She is extremely easy to work with and works around you and your wedding. She made sure that I had beautiful shots even when my wedding party, family, my husband and I were not really into taking a lot of posed pictures, but somehow she managed to get great pictures representing us and the night. Thank you again!
Cory was fantastic! I booked her without even meeting her - we met for the first time on my wedding day. She was funny, professional, and good-natured. We got great photos from her and her second shooter, including some amazing photos in the rain. She also worked with us to create a package within our budget, which I really appreciated. Highly recommend!
Nora is amazing at what she does! Solare is responsive, professional, and they produce the most perfect photographs! I'm still in awe of the photographs we received from our wedding day! They have me reliving the BEST. DAY. EVER. over and over again! If you are looking for a photographer - look no further!
Nora from Solare Photography did an amazing job capturing our wedding day!!! It was important to me to have a photographer who excelled at taking both posed portraits and the special moments of the day. Nora’s work immediately stood out to me because her photos were natural and beautiful (and not overly edited). Not only that, she was reasonably priced and willing to meet me after working hours to discuss my wedding day photography hopes even before I hired her. She even accommodated our laundry list of requests (ie being able to extend last minute if we wanted, providing us with the whole final collection, shooting bridal portraits quickly before my husband declared he could “take no more”) and the day of she was professional and efficient. However, it was the final photos that she sent to us that made us overjoyed! She captured all of our special moments, and I can’t thank her enough for having wonderful shots of everyone’s emotion during our ceremony or joy as we listened to speeches and had our first dance. I had told her nature was a big part of our lives, and despite it being an early spring day with few leaves on the trees, she managed to take photos of us together that truly highlighted the blooms that were available. Nora’s photography is gorgeous and I can’t recommend her more highly!!! One of my bridesmaids is getting married on Long Island and upon seeing the photos said, “If only I had waited to hire my photographer, I would have paid Nora any travel fee to come me. You photos are so beautiful!!!” Thank you Nora and Solare photography!
Cory is the best! She had a great eye for locations I would have passed by. She got gorgeous shots without having to pose us much. The whole process was really easy and fun and I can’t wait to see her at our wedding!
Nora is the BEST!! I chose Nora because she was the photographer at my best friend's wedding, and my best friend chose her because she was the photographer at two other weddings she had attended. Nora is so fun to work with, and her pictures are stunning! We loved her so much, we flew her all the way down to Atlanta to photograph our wedding!
Solare was so easy to work with, and the photos are EXACTLY what we wanted and even more! Cory was so easy to work with and such a fun photographer to have around. Obviously the wedding day can bring lots of stress, but knowing we were in good hands and getting our vision in the prints was a relief. We are so happy with our choice as there are so many photographers out there. Thanks again Cory for making our wedding so special for our forever memories :)
Nora and Katie were fantastic! We initially met with Nora over a year before our wedding, and decided to hire her immediately after seeing samples of her work. Many photographers out there get a little too fancy or "artistic" with a lot of their shots and we liked that Nora's samples were so clean, sharp, and timeless. We did an engagement session with Nora before the wedding and the pictures came out great - she had also suggested a few different places we could go for the engagement shoot, which was helpful since we had recently moved to the area. She was organized before the wedding with a very thorough questionnaire detailing our wedding day timeline, family members' names, and special pictures we wanted. On our wedding day, she and her second shooter Katie were right on time and got right to work snapping getting ready pictures. It was cold and drizzly on our wedding day, so we ended up moving our first look and ceremony indoors. Nora and Katie had to find a new spot for our first look, and they found the perfect location and got it all set up in about 10 minutes! We decided to risk outdoor pictures before the wedding since the rain had stopped, and I cannot stress enough how wonderful Nora and Katie were in this situation! They showed us how to hold my dress up so it wouldn't get wet and muddy before the ceremony, held an umbrella over me for every second that pictures weren't being taken, and Katie even wrapped a jacket around me and rubbed my shoulders to try to keep me warm between pictures since my dress strapless was strapless and I was freezing! The pictures came out so good and were delivered to us 6 weeks after our wedding, just as promised! We love that the pictures are sent digitally, and we can print what we want in the sizes that we want instead of pre-paying for a certain number of set sizes. We also love that Solare provides a pared down number of images instead of all of the raw pictures - we don't need to sift through 10 copies of the same picture to choose the best one because Nora took care of that for us! We have already recommended Nora to several friends who are engaged and they have hired her too!
Nora! What Can I say! From our engagement photos to our wedding day photos..... you captured everything we wanted!!!! You have an artistic eye and the photos are just BEAUTIFUL! We can’t wait to have them in our possession but thank you for capturing exactly what we described and being so accommodating and helpful!!! We could NOT have asked for more!!!
We had Troy & Katie as our photographers for our wedding 10/7/17 at Smith Barn in Peabody. If you want all of your special moments captured on your big day, Solare is the vendor to hire! They are great with communication, transparent with their pricing, timely, and very fun to work with! Our pictures are beautiful and there are SO MANY of them to look through. Thank you, Solare for your wonderful service, highly recommended to all my friends and family!!!
Nora was wonderful to work with! She did our engagement photos and our wedding photos. She has a great eye for what will look great in a photo and in a background. I sent a long list of must haves for the wedding, and she had it up on her phone the whole time we were taking pictures. Her assistant, Katie, was wonderful, as well!! We can't wait to see our photos and know they will be perfect!
Nora and her team at Solare were amazing from start to finish! Everyone at the wedding was commenting on how you could tell they were getting tons of amazing photos without being intrusive at all. She uses great quality equipment and was very professional throughout while still making us feel comfortable. She was also great at helping out with things like when to start photos, who we should have at what times, and checking with us throughout to make sure we were happy with things if other people asked her to do something (like take a group photo). We couldn't believe how quickly we got our sneak peak and engagement photos, and on top of that they were absolutely stunning! A friend has already used Nora and I will definitely recommend her to all the people who've been asking me who took the amazing photos from our day!
The short story: Troy was fabulous!!
The longer story: I spent several weeks scouring websites of local wedding photographers, looking for one whose portfolio looked consistently the way I wanted my own wedding album to look. I am by no means a pro photographer, but I have enough experience to know what I like and dislike in terms of styles and techniques, and I wanted to find someone with a similar eye before I met with any photographers in person. If you're reading this review, you already know there are SO MANY out there. Solare's website was the one I kept coming back to, so I inquired - and the rest is history! Troy was so easy to work with, and got tons of wonderful images without ever being in-the-way of wedding formalities or festivities. We also got a sneak peek of the photos in under 3
