When we first started planning our wedding, Lena was the first vendor that we chose, after having seen her amazing work on Instagram. Throughout the planning process, Lena was consistently the most responsive, most organized and most professional vendor that we interacted with. From the beginning, her energy made us feel very comfortable - our wedding involved some non-traditional aspects that she never once made us feel awkward about, and on the day of, she was our cheerleader and kept everything and everyone moving smoothly. Neither of us are usually particularly comfortable in front of a camera or at the center of attention, but Lena helped us feel comfortable and confident - and just generally set us up to have an incredible day feeling good about ourselves and how we looked. Of course her professionalism did not end at the day of the wedding; all communication after the wedding was timely and we even woke up the next morning to some beautiful sneak peeks that we could immediately share with friends and family. When we were able to see the gallery a few weeks later, we were incredibly impressed at how beautiful the photos were, and how well they truly captured the spirit of the day. Her gallery website also made the experience of viewing and sharing the pictures very easy. Highly highly recommend Lena!

I don't even know where to start because you NEED to hire Lena Mirisola Photography for your wedding or elopement. Lena is out of this world phenomenal both in terms of her gorgeous artwork and in her beautiful personality and charm. She makes everything seem effortless because she is Just. That. Good. Her work is ridiculously stunning and she makes all of her clients feel like superstars. As a reserved person myself (who hates having her photo taken) she really makes the experience fun and makes even the most awkward person look like they are a professional model. Not only that, but her communication and professionalism are unrivaled. She is the perfect balance of a professional hype woman, best friend, and incredible artist. Her communication is amazing and it's really a luxurious experience to work with her. It would be a disservice to you and your loved ones not to hire her immediately.

If you mention Lena Mirisola to anyone who has worked with her – or even just met her -- they will gush over her award-winning talent, radiant energy and general perfection inside and out. I am writing to do the same. Lena was our photographer for our engagement shoot and wedding and I couldn’t recommend her more. I mean she lands magazine covers by capturing pure joy and beauty effortlessly, she’s just wildly phenomenal at what she does. She will also connect you to amazing vendors, introduce you to fun trends and ideas and subtly shape your wedding to give it a “wow” factor you didn’t know you needed. And in addition to obviously recommending you book her best package to both spend the most time with her and get the most photo opps, I recommend booking with her because it is awesome to connect with her and follow her talents and life beyond your own special day. She captures the most meaningful moments for her clients, and I feel lucky to know her and see her work.

If you’re in the market for a wedding photographer, look no further. Lena was hands down the best choice we made amidst the sea of chaos that was our wedding planning. When we first started the process of looking for a wedding photographer, we were overwhelmed by the multitude of options. That said, being an artist myself, it was important to me that our pictures of our wedding day had a very specific look. I knew what it was in my head, but couldn’t quite put it into words. Enter Lena. We found Lena on Instagram and we instantly fell in love with her aesthetic, the artistic detail in each photo, and I remember commenting how each couple she shot felt unique, each post was absolutely aesthetically Lena, but I could tell instantly who the couple was by just looking at the pictures. It was also important to us to find someone who identified as queer, and or an ally to our community. So, we met Lena for parmesan truffle fries at our favorite dive bar, and the rest is history. Our planning was tumultuous. We had to cancel our wedding twice due to Covid, so Lena has been in our lives since 2019. While we couldn’t be more thrilled with our wedding day pictures (seriously every picture) – you hire Lena for the experience, for the sharing of recipes, for the Christmas holiday present drop offs, for the support of knowing you are hiring someone who doesn’t just look at her couples as a contract, rather as an integral part to both her artistic process, but more importantly her life. There is no doubt Lena will be in our lives for quite some time. Invest in Lena because she’s more than just an incredible artist, she’s an integral part of one of the happiest, most joyful days of your life.

Hiring Lena is the best decision you can make during the wedding planning process. She isn’t just supremely talented, she will make sure you have FUN on your wedding day. You don’t realize just how much time you and your spouse will be spending with your photographer, and one of Lena’s most valuable attributes is that you actually want to hang out with her – if she wasn’t our photog, I’d have had her as a guest! She brings amazing energy and a great sense of humor, which ensures the smiles she’s capturing are genuine – nothing feels stiff, posed or awkward.

We had a blast with Lena during the looooong period between our engagement shoot and our wedding (thanks to a COVID postponement), and we really feel like we gained a friend in the process. She had our entire wedding party and families laughing the day of, and let me tell you, she is an ace when it comes to keeping you on schedule. We were running close to 45 minutes behind for our first look and pre-ceremony pictures, and Lena wrangled everyone with such efficiency that she got all the shots she needed and wrapped up 15 minutes AHEAD of schedule. Most importantly, the final result is outstanding. Our wedding album was delivered so quickly – 900+ perfectly edited shots that were so gorgeous and natural, and truly captured the joy, energy and emotion of the day. Many of our family and friends have asked to watch slideshows of the album with us, and every single one has paused at some point during the show to comment on just how incredible our photographer was.

It's hard to know where to even begin in trying to describe how amazing Lena is - but I truly cannot even imagine our wedding day without her. We hired Lena in 2019 for an August 2020 wedding, and she stuck right there with us through 3 postponements until we could finally get our international family here to celebrate this June 2022. Lena was so much more than just a 'vendor' or 'wedding photographer' through the entire process - she was completely supportive of us and became a friend who we could not wait to spend time with at both our engagement shoot and wedding. Her energy is truly infectious and she was able to engage all of our family, friends our guests (shy or not!) to get amazing photos of everyone. She is extremely talented and her photos are absolutely gorgeous - we are in love with our entire engagement album and have already received sneak peaks of our wedding that are totally sob worthy. Every single one of our wedding guests was blown away by Lena's energy and excitement, and how much fun and enthusiasm she added to the entire day. You spend more time with your wedding photographer on your wedding day than some of your guests, so if you want someone who is going to bring their absolute A game and dance the night away with you, Lena is your girl. I should also mention that she brought along a second shooter Genevieve @genevievephotography_ , and recommended to us our AMAZING videographer Andy Hansen @somefuzzy - and the three of them together were the total and complete dream team. THANK YOU LENA!! Everyone hire Lena - you'll be so so glad you did!!!

We cannot say enough positive things about Lena. She is amazing, talented, organized, responsive, and maybe the most enthusiastic person we have ever met haha . When researching wedding photographers, we pretty quickly zeroed in on Lena after looking at her prior work at our venue and scrolling through her impressive Instagram account. In our first phone conversation, we were immediately drawn to her energy and inclusive mindset. Within minutes of ending the call, we formally booked her.

Neither of us are super into getting our pictures taken so it was really important to us that we had a photographer that could make this entire experience fun and painless, and that’s exactly what she did! Lena and her second shooter, Rachel, provided an incredible range of photos from your planned posed combinations to candids to amazing decor/scenery images. Some of our favorites are the intimate moments they were able to catch when we thought no one was watching.

Lena not only captured the joy of the day but also turned around the sneak peek by the next morning. WHO DOES THAT?! We were able to show our family/friends at the send off brunch and everyone commented how they had to wait weeks/months for any pictures at all.

We love our photographs so much and can't help but look at them everyday. Book Lena while you can!! You absolutely will not regret it!

Where do I begin?! Lena is THE BEST OF THE BEST!!!! Hiring Lena for our wedding photography was the best decision! Lena is an AMAZING photographer (check out her insta, swoon!!) and an even better human! We knew from the moment we looked at her insta and other photos that she was the one for us. Her photography is simply stunning! She is so talented, energetic, and fun, and will bring the best best best energy to your wedding! She goes above and beyond for her couples! She makes you feel so at ease and like you're going to have the best photos ever for your wedding (which you will, duh, I have mine back and OBSESSED). Lena was extremely reachable and responsive, and extremely ORGANIZED! She created a shot list for photographs we wanted to get so nothing was missed. She was organized and in charge on the day of the wedding. She made me and my husband (and all of our wedding party and family!) feel so at ease while we were taking a million photos. I've been in weddings where its a sh!t show coordinating photos, and Lena was the complete opposite. She even provided a list of other vendors she has worked with and was impressed by, incase you needed any other suggestions!! We got our sneak peek photographs back so early the next morning and were in AWE! I die. Gorgeous! We were able to get our entire album of photographs back in an extremely fast and reasonable time. We love our photographs SO SO SO SO SO MUCH and will cherish them forever. HIRE LENA!!!! YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT!!!!! Thank you Lena!!!

Lena is an incredibly talented photographer who takes gorgeous photographs and an absolutely amazing, one-of-a-kind person who will bring so much joy and energy to your wedding, and you should (metaphorically) run, not walk, to book her now. Seriously, stop reading this review and go book her now.

I found Lena’s website after Googling “how to elope in Boston,” which has a whole section dedicated to all the nitty gritty details for eloping in Boston. Her vivacious energy leaps off the page, her photo galleries are absolutely stunning, and I immediately knew that we had to have her as our photographer (we even changed our date so that Lena could squeeze us into her August schedule). I knew the second that Lena responded to our inquiry that we had picked the right person—she made me feel like we were already good friends and was so helpful in providing all the information that we needed to put together our elopement package. She made the entire process so easy and stress-free and her communication was always timely and incredibly helpful (honestly, she was like a mini-elopement planner, which was exactly what I needed because I had no idea what I was doing).

For the day of, we met Lena at the Boston Public Garden and even though this was our first time meeting in person, I felt like I had known her forever. I was feeling awkward/nervous about traipsing around Boston in a wedding dress, but that melted away instantly once Lena started shooting—she somehow managed to make it feel like that was the most natural thing in the world to be doing on a Thursday afternoon. Further, neither myself or my now-husband are very natural in front of a camera and Lena made us feel so comfortable and relaxed. Finally, it was a sweltering 95 degrees (105 heat index, anyone?) and we were absolutely dripping in sweat the entire time and yet you cannot tell, at all, from the pictures (Lena is that good). In the end, we had an absolute blast taking pictures with Lena in the heat and it stands out as one of my favorite parts of our wedding day—Lena is just fun to be around (and absolutely hilarious).

And in case you need any more testimonials, our respective families could not stop talking about how amazing Lena was for the rest of the evening and into the next morning at brunch. Four months later and we’re still talking about how amazing the pictures came out and what an absolute TREASURE of a person she is.

Again, I cannot recommend Lena highly enough. Book her and I promise you will not be disappointed.

I cannot say enough positive things about Lena. She is an amazing, talented, and simply fantastic to work with. When researching wedding photographers, we pretty quickly zeroed in on Lena. We were so drawn to her energetic and authentic online presence. Everyone in her photos looked so happy and like they were having so much fun!! We wanted to have that much fun on our wedding day :) From the second we started working with her, she immediately made us feel like old friends. As we were planning over email, Lena was incredibly responsive in answering all of our (many!) questions. We still had a lot of details up in the air leading up to the wedding, and Lena gave us thoughtful advice and was so accommodating. When the day of finally arrived, Lena brought the same hype woman energy that she has in her emails, on her website, and on her Instagram. One of the highlights of the wedding day was walking through Beacon Hill doing our couples photos. Lena had a ton of great spots in mind. My husband and I aren't very comfortable in front of the camera, and the idea of posing for a bunch of photos sounds like my nightmare, but Lena made us feel so at ease. We had a ton of fun and spent most of the time laughing!! We also dealt with gale force winds during our family photos. Lena took charge and helped us get them done as quickly as possible, reassuring me that she could photoshop my hair into place (which she did!). When my husband and I were traveling home the day after our wedding, we were surprised to get a ton of "sneak peek" photos from Lena. I mean... So. Fast. It was so fun to get to relive everything the following day. Lena then turned around the final album soon after. They were absolutely amazing. I have no words. We love them!! There wasn't a detail she missed. We're so happy we have them forever to look back on. Working with Lena was worth every penny. Thank you, Lena!!!
