Photography by Paquette

ith my photos and not being away from our wedding guests longer than one hour and she and her husband captured so many beautiful pictures within my time frame and got us back to our wedding perfectly timed. I appreciated that the most! So many of our guests complimented Mary and her husband with how well they blended in and took some amazing photos. I said I just wanted candid photos not too many posed and they are seriously the best photos I’ve seen!! They stayed extra and took almost 3000 photos. I love the way they ordered them In line with the wedding timeline. Looking back through them is mind blowing all the stuff I missed or forgot about because it was such a busy and fun night. I would most definitely use Mary again in a heartbeat for any other photos I may have in the future. She was one of the vendors I didn’t know personally and I found thru the knit website and I instantly felt like    I knew her forever. She’s the perfect fit and I’m blessed to have found her!!! My photos are amsxing❤️😘

these and Mary’s incredible effort. The Paquette family is a family that I have known for a very long time. They are the most considerate and intentional people. Mary took my senior photos in high school and choosing her to take our engagement photos was a no-brainer!! We will never be able to thank her enough. They’re all so beautiful!!!

ly recommend!!!

If you are looking for a professional, thoughtful and fun photographer then look no further than Photography by Paquette. Mary is hands down the best. Thank you for everything!

She made this experience, that I honestly dreaded because I don’t like taking phot, easy and fun!! I can’t wait for our wedding to do those photos next September!!

nt which you can feel when looking at the photos. I would also highly recommend this fabulous team!

k about our vision for the day and items/events that we wanted to make sure were captured. They got every one of them! Working with Mary and Scott on the day of was great! We went to a few different locations to take photos before the ceremony. They were totally game to get in a Jeep and off-road to a stunning location at the top of the hill. They also got photos of us with family from outside the area that we don't get to see often, which means so so much. And, our photos are stunning!! It's an unbelievable feeling to be able to relive our day through photos!

ntastic job. They are professional, thorough and detail oriented. Mary has an amazing vision for capturing you and your loved one naturally and authentically. She made me and my husband comfortable in front of the camera and made us feel like we were in a magazine photoshoot! Mary has gone above and beyond for us and we are so lucky to have her capture our big life moments. We are so thrilled at how all of our photos came out!!!

he big day to the very end, Mary and Scott took endless pictures in pursuit to capture the most important parts of the wedding down to the smallest intimate details. They were passionate about ensuring each individual was posed in a way that made each photo just that more perfect. When our daughter received the previews we were so thrilled with how beautiful they turned out. And when we received the final photos we were blown away. Mary and Scott are true professionals. BUT not only are they true professionals, they are wonderful people and we are so blessed to be able to call them our friends. Thank you for capturing those moments that helped make my daughter’s fairy tale wedding become a reality that we will forever be able to treasure.

evident. I loved the fact that Mary joined me and the bridesmaids while Scott joined my husband and the groomsmen prior to the ceremony to literally capture every moment from beginning to end!! As a couple, they seamlessly blended into the background, capturing both traditional poses and candid, heartfelt moments. Their artistic eye for composition and lighting, coupled with a genuine connection with us and our guests, resulted in a collection of photographs that not only documented the day but also told a beautiful and authentic love story!! We wholeheartedly recommend Photography by Paquette to any couple seeking photographers who not only possess remarkable skill but also bring a GENUINE enthusiasm for turning moments into timeless memories!! I can't thank you both enough for all your hard work and effort that went into our photos!!

e most important parts of the wedding day. I found Photography by Paquette and LOVED her style-very clear, bright, light and airy. I contacted her right away and after one phone conversation I knew she was the one for us!!  She is so easy to talk to and very communicative; responding to emails, calls and texts. Anytime we talked leading up to the wedding, it felt like I was talking to someone I’d known forever.   We were so comfortable and relaxed taking pictures with Mary. She was able to capture the excitement and love we share for each other and with our family and friends. She thought of everything too-she brought a cute clear umbrella (because it was raining off and on) and even a veil for me to use in pictures.  I was blown away when we received the sneak peek pictures within only 2 days of the wedding (these are only a FEW of them), and I could not be happier-some of them I just stop and stare and I’m right back in that moment with a big smile on my face. I’m so excited to see the rest of our pictures, I have no doubt they are going to be perfect!!!   Mary was also able to work with us on how much coverage we needed, and she was flexible when we changed from having a huge Saturday wedding to a small Tuesday afternoon wedding. I would recommend Mary to anyone looking for a photographer who is both passionate and loves what she does, it truly shows in the work that she produces!!!! Thank you Soul Sista!!!!! 💜💜

captured. We’ve already gotten plenty of sneak peek photos - we are blown away by them and have gotten so many compliments from friends and family on them! Not only do they do incredible work, but they are very accommodating and pleasant to work with! I highly recommend them!

of our family who was there as well. In the end, our pictures turned out beautiful!!

g my pictures taken as I’ve gotten older…. She blew it out of the water.. I loved all the pictures even the ones I was thinking I don’t know how this is going to turn out! So so thankful for all the time & effort she puts into what she does - they are truly breathtaking! Thank you again!! Use her for any sort of photo needs!

ilies. We would highly recommend working with her, she made us feel at ease and the photos were beautiful!

some stunning photos. I can’t wait to share these breath-taking photos with our families to celebrate our special engagement!! Would recommend Mary to anyone looking for a photographer. Communication was excellent and she was amazing with the camera. 11/10!!!

d did a phenomenal job capturing an intimate ceremony in a remote location. The photos turned out perfect and we have so many memories to look back on!  During the reception downstate, Mary and Scott were also great capturing family photos and candids of all our guests. She had explored the area around our venue in advance of the shoot, and found great places outdoor for us to take bride and groom photos. Given the blur that your wedding night is, it was a blast to go through Mary's photos in the weeks after the ceremony! Photography by Paquette goes above and beyond, definitely hire them for your wedding celebrations!

stayed an hour longer because she knew I was in high hopes of a sunset for sunset photos! Mary and I had set a plan for the event and even at times when I would deter from the plan, she was right there to capture the special moments. I LOVED that she shared a sneak peek of a few photos via social media. It was a great way to share some instant photos with friends and family. Thank you Mary for all of your hard work and I appreciate you very much! You are such a kind caring person.

p to have a memory for lifetime and I am so glad I chose Photography by Paquette. Mary is simply amazing and very easy to work with and very responsive. We had like 18 people in the group and she was so patient with everyone teaching them to pose, regroup and made us feel very comfortable. The photos came out amazing and I am so happy we did this. I would recommend her for fun, easy and the best photo shoot in a heart beat. Thank you for being kind.

d leaving us with not only visual memories but emotional ones as well. They are very professional and easy to work with. We had several photo ideas we wanted to include and they were very cooperative. Great communicators and obviously love what they do. Highly recommend them.
