    An incredible engagement session!

    My fiancé and I were referred to Paul from a co-worker of mine. After reaching out, Paul got right back to us and was extremely helpful during the planning process. Our engagement shoot with Michele was also an incredible experience. She truly went above and beyond to ensure our pictures came out beautifully. We couldn’t be happier with our choice to use Paul Saunders photography!

    Absolutely the best customer service

    All I can say about Paul Saunders is that he really cares. Paul was scheduled to do our wedding in March but a family emergency had come up. He let us know promptly and before we even had to ask if he could recommend someone short notice he already had us covered. His partner Todd did a fantastic job and the edits done by Paul were great. Paul made sure that even though he wouldn't be able to make it that we would still have the best wedding we could. The pictures were amazing but we couldn't recommend Paul more simply based on his desire to make sure we had the perfect wedding.

    Professional, Quick Turn Around, Joy to work with!

    Paul and his team are fantastic! Paul never lets a ball drop. He's prompt, on-time, detailed. I've heard people waiting months for pictures. Paul had all 1,616 of ours edited and in our hands in less than a month!
    Jason was our photographer and an absolute joy to work with! He spent the time to really understand what we wanted. I had a difficult task for Jason, capturing nature/ color in our pictures. We live in New England and it was March... If you've visited or live in the area you'll know it's mud, branches with no leaves and dead grass.... Jason found beautiful backgrounds some how and made our pictures perfect! He understood the style of pictures we wanted and captured a long list of wedding guests. He's stealthy! He's quick and you never notice he's there. Loved working with both Jason and Paul. I would recommend them time and time again!

    Fantastic wedding photographer!

    We could not have been happier! Paul was the photographer for a friend's wedding and everyone loved working with him, so we knew we wanted him for ours as well! He's incredibly thorough, thoughtful, and professional.

    Absolutely Amazing

    From looking through Pauls photos to our first conversation we knew he was the one we wanted to take our photos on our Wedding day. Paul arrived and got right to business with his upbeat personality and attention to detail. Paul didn’t miss a beat! Super fun to work with and assured our special day went perfect from working with the vendor, DJ and our guests! Thank you Paul for sharing our magical day! Choosing a photographer for your wedding is not easy, I would recommend Paul to anyone! Look no further, here is your one stop choice that I promise you will not be disappointed.

    Truly amazing!

    What a pleasure to have Paul Saunders Photography. Very thorough, professional and extremely responsive. We had Derek from Paul Saunders Photography. He was a blast, funny, professional and very patient! The previews we received were a few days after and they were beautiful! 10/10

    Paul is amazing!

    Paul goes above and beyond. He made the whole planning process so easy. The day of Heather our photographer was a joy to work with. We got over 1,600 pictures. Paul’s quality and professionalism far exceeds any other photographer we looked into. He was timely on responding and our final pictures were ready exactly when he said they would be.

    Wonderful Experience

    It was an absolute pleasure working with Paul via email and his two photographers, Rory and Sam, the day of the wedding. Both photographers were very professional and made sure everyone was pleased with the photos throughout the day. They were able to capture moments my husband and I will treasure for a lifetime! I would highly recommend Paul and his photographer team for your special day. They truly provided a wonderful service and made sure to capture the items we had provided in an outline prior to our wedding. Both photographers were kind, patient and listened to whatever requests we had, and worked well with our videographer from another company. Definitely would recommend Paul and his team to another couple for their special day!

    Wonderful photographer

    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.

    Wonderful wedding photographer!

    Paul Saunders Photography was an excellent choice for our wedding photographer! Communication was easy and un-stressful from the very beginning. We worked with Michele and she was wonderful. She arrived early and was able to accommodate the very long list of photos we requested and was very flexible in adding on more photos last minute. We felt very comfortable with her and our photos came out beautiful. Would recommend!

    The best photographer

    Paul is an amazing photographer and person. He photographed by wedding this past October and did a phenomenal job. He worked with us for 9 hours on the day of the wedding and we got over 1600 photos. They are all beautiful and we couldn't be happier with the results. In addition to taking the pictures, he helped make the day run smoothly. He gave us advice about what order to do things and the day went perfectly. He is hilarious and all of the guests loved him. I highly recommend hiring him for your wedding!

    Incredible photography and customer service

    Alicia was our photographer through Paul Saunders photography, and she was great to work with. Professional and friendly, it was a joy to have her there a few hours early while I was getting ready with two friends. My now husband and I are not great with posing, but she managed to make the experience easy and fun. Paul is responsive and pleasant to work with, we are so glad we chose Paul and Alicia!
