Photographers in Portland

“We cannot recommend James enough as our wedding photographer! From start to finish, he was kind, flexible, and had a beautiful vision for capturing our special day. A week before the wedding, James came to our site and walked through it with us, creating a detailed plan that perfectly balanced our ideas with his professional eye. He took our thoughts and transformed them into stunning photos, paying careful attention to framing, energy, and vibe—basically, he saw things we never could, and we’re so glad he did.

On the big day, he was a calm, reassuring presence, making us feel completely at ease in front of the camera. Even when our outdoor wedding plans were foiled by the weather, James pivoted effortlessly to create beautiful indoor shots. He was incredibly respectful and kind to all our family and guests, blending seamlessly into the event while capturing every meaningful moment.

If you're looking for someone who can balance professionalism with a warm, personal touch, James is your guy. He made our day unforgettable, and the photos are beyond what we could have ever imagined!“

“We could not have asked for better photographers than Shado & Isabelle! From the very first phone call we knew we wanted them to be a part of our wedding. Their style of photography was exactly what we wanted for our Maine island wedding. Shado and Isabelle do such an amazing job of getting to know you as a couple and making your big day as effortless and amazing as possible. Having the engagement photoshoot included in the wedding package was a huge benefit as well. Looking through our photos, we are so thrilled with not only the incredible photos of us as newlyweds, but of our family and friends. They captured the feelings and emotions of the day so perfectly. Shado and Isabelle as truly 5 star and an absolute pleasure to work with.“

“John Portela is an absolute legend! He was super helpful in facilitating and officiating our wedding. He took multiple calls with us, met us for coffee the day before to make sure everything was up to snuff, and did a great job marrying us. He even helped me tie my tie! He's also been super kind and communicative after our wedding, remembering and congratulating us for my sister-in-laws wedding a few weeks later. I would recommend AIO weddings, and John specifically, to anyone. It was a great, affordable, and lovely experience and we couldn't have picked a better officiant.“
