About

Seth Kaye is a multiple award-winning documentary wedding photographer who has been called one of the Top 50 Wedding Photographers in the United States, one of the Top 20 Wedding Photographers in Boston, and one of the best wedding photojournalists in New England.

His years of experience as a photojournalist, combined with an academic background in the fine arts, make him uniquely qualified to document weddings in an unobtrusive, respectful fashion.

His work belongs to a tradition of photography which relies on seeing and understanding the significance of the moment, and capturing it.

Seth was AWESOME to work with!

Seth Kaye was amazing to work with. We chose Seth because his photographs had a sense of capturing special moments in the style of a photo journalist as well as an outstanding wedding photographer. We worked with Seth for both engagement photos and at our wedding. All of his photographs are vibrant, full of color, capturing special and authentic moments. Seth is also just a genuinely nice person to spend time with who is thoughtful and caring. We just got our wedding photographs back and are not disappointed. We would highly recommend Seth for capturing your wedding or any special event. Should we need a photographer again we will definitely think of Seth first.

Hire Seth!

Seth photographed two weddings for us - our small, backyard wedding during the height of the pandemic and our full wedding a year later. We feel like we really got to know Seth through this whole process and are so thankful for everything he did for us. He is an amazingly talented photographer and also just a wonderful person. The photos from our first wedding were more beautiful than we could have hoped and we know our second wedding photos will be just as beautiful. Seth is so professional, quick at communicating, open to suggestions, patient, knowledgeable, fun to work with, the list goes on. We can’t wait to hire him for future family photo shoots to come!

July 31st 2020 Wedding

Hired Seth to photograph our July 31st 2020 wedding.
Leading up to our big day we greatly appreciated Seth's professionalism and attention to detail. We spoke a few times before our wedding- once being on Zoom. Seth was very accommodating to all of our requests and even worked with us as our plans changed a bit due to covid restrictions etc.

On the day of our wedding Seth arrived early- which we greatly appreciated. He and his assistant did a great job of making sure to photograph all of our requests and wrangle in our family for our group pictures.

Following our wedding Seth sent us a few images within 2 weeks. They were beautiful. When we received all of the images we were SO impressed. Seth captured all of the valuable moments of our wedding. His images told the story of our wedding in a unique way. We will treasure his photos/artwork forever. Highly recommend!

Happy Everafter

When I was in the search of a Photographer for our 10th Anniversary, I remembered some pictures I saw a few years ago in a friend's daughter's wedding. I immediately said to myself this is the photographer I want. And I was right. Since the first time we contact him and to after the date of the event he advice us in every detail. He make sure that we would not miss anything and that he could capture everything. It was a really good experience working with Seth and all the guest were very pleased of having him taking pictures. We are very happy with his work.

Photography that tells a story

We chose Seth because we were looking for a documentary photographer, someone who would tell a story and capture the experience, not just the poses. We couldn’t be happier that we did. Seth and his second photographer CD were not only great wedding guests, but they’re incredibly talented photographers. Their photos are fresh, creative, and personal. They managed to capture all the important moments we were part of, and many we didn’t even know had happened. We really appreciated Seth’s services from the first meeting, when he interviewed us to learn a bit about what’s important to us (and then put that to work in his photography). Communications were great throughout. After the wedding, both he and CD were game to come with us for a walk in the woods, complete with a healthy population of mosquitoes, and produced some beautiful photographs despite the backlighting. We also very much appreciate that the whole set of photos are ours to keep/share/print without extra cost. Our only challenge, and it’s a difficult one, is the need to choose from all these fantastic photos to decide what to print and share.

The most important thing for my wedding was finding the right photographer to document it - and Seth was the absolute best. He is skilled and professional, with a lot of experience in the photojournalistic style which is what I was looking for. I wanted my wedding pictures to tell the story of my wedding rather than being a bunch of stuffy formals and posed pictures. He was communicative, personable, and extremely attentive to detail. My husband doesn't relish being in pictures but throughout our engagement shoot and the wedding day, Seth made him feel and (more importantly) look comfortable. He also delivered our final pictures well ahead of the estimated timeline and they are better than I could have ever imagined! We have received so many compliments on both the way Seth worked at the wedding - always there to capture every moment without being intrusive - and the actual pictures we have to look through for years to come. Having been in many other weddings and seen a number of other photographers, it is evident to me that Seth is a step above the majority of the vendors out there. He is organized, has his process down, and is always prepared. His pricing is extremely reasonable as he delivers a high quality of pictures and professionalism that other photographers are not capable of. Working with him through the entire wedding process was a dream and I would recommend him to any and everyone!! Thank you Seth!

If you are looking for a creative photographer go with Seth Kaye! Seth was a pleasure to work with and you can see how much he loves his job. One of the reasons why we picked Seth for our wedding is because he is well known in the area and the other reason is my husband who is a DJ. Seth and my husband would be at gigs together and Seth would always remember my husband’s name and make the effort to come over and say hello.
My guests at our wedding were talking about how Seth and his Assistant were right there taking pictures of everything and they didn’t miss a moment. Seth and his assistant thank you very much for going above and beyond for our wedding day! We can’t wait to see the photos and we already know how beautiful they are going to be. We will recommend you for sure! Thanks again for everything.

I cannot express how deeply grateful we are in having Seth as our photographer.
My mother became gravely ill about 6 weeks before our wedding. The news was sudden and we were given only 24 hours to put together a wedding by her bedside. Knowing how much she wanted to be there my husband and I headed into a mad dash to get everything in order. I called Seth who we had booked for our ‘original’ wedding, hoping that he would be able to photograph such a bittersweet day. Within 30 minutes I got a call, with the most comforting, “I’ll be there.” You can imagine through the chaos I was experiencing to have someone with a calm steady voice was what I needed in the moment. Seth even had the foresight to ask if I had someone to do my hair and makeup (MacKenzie of www.crystalvazquezmakeupartist.com), who was equally as kind and generous.

Please take a moment to read Seth’s kind words about the day, as it will show you how thoughtful and professional he is. https://www.sethkaye.com/one-great-moment-heather-greg/

There are plenty of good photographers out there. Seth is truly one of the great ones and I am ever grateful to have him with us for both of our weddings.

Seth was an absolute joy to work with! From the beginning he was super responsive and creative. He made our March engagement photo shoot look wonderful (considering it was outside with no leaves etc).

His team on our wedding day was amazing. Everyone was flexible and easy going. They made sure to capture the moments without taking over the show. Our pictures took place with 30mph winds in 45 degree temps. The team really cared that I (the bride) didn't freeze to death but also didn't sacrifice the creativity of the pictures. They were so organized and efficient it was amazing!

Seth was always two steps ahead of me (and for a type A bride that's hard to do). He got shots of things I didn't even think about. He knew the venue so well and planned ahead for everything. We felt so at ease knowing that he was going to capture our special day and we wouldn't have to worry at all. Seth and his team made the day so fun, we can say we genuinely enjoyed the photo taking portion of the festivities!
