Love was in the air. It was a crisp, beautiful, fall weekend in Salem, Massachusetts. I felt so honored to be part of Ben & Bryce’s special day. I met Bryce when we were young. When he reached out to me to photographer their engagement, I immediately said yes! They loved their engagement photos so much, that they hired me for their wedding. I was over the moon excited! Being LGBTQIA+ and photographing a gay couple in SALEM was so meant to be.

“I contacted Brooke for my fiancé and I's engagement photos. She made the planning and location scouting process incredibly easy. Her communication was fast and clear. The day of our photo shoot, Brooke met us at the location and was incredibly professional and easy going. Being an LGBT+ couple, we wanted someone who we could feel entirely comfortable around and that was Brooke. Her talent and eye are beyond words. The photos we got back really encompassed our relationship together. We were so impressed with her skills that we asked her to photograph our wedding as well. We cannot thank Brooke enough for making us feel comfortable and capturing our love in the most genuine state.”

Ben and Bryce decided they wanted to take portraits around Salem, MA the day before. Their ceremony was at 4PM the next day and by the time the ceremony was over, it would be dark outside. It made sense to take day-before portraits. We walked over all over Salem. So many people were congratulating them and they looked so handsome!

The next day was the big day! Their venue was The Hotel Salem. It was gorgeous. The whole day was full of laughter, love, and romance. You could really feel the love that everyone was radiating.

“From the moment we connected with Brooke, we knew she would be the perfect photographer to capture our special day. Her communication style is fast, effective, and clear, putting us at ease every step of the way. The quality of Brooke's work is truly incredible - her natural, breathtaking photos effortlessly capture the emotions and beauty of our love. Brooke made us feel incredibly comfortable, especially as an LGBTQIA couple, and she was always prepared with creative pose ideas, constantly trying new things to get the perfect shot. Looking at our photos brings us right back to that moment in time and the wave of emotions we felt - Brooke's talent for naturally showcasing the beauty of our love is unparalleled. We are beyond thrilled with the photos from our wedding day and could not recommend Brooke Seminick Photography more highly.”
