"Mary and Scott went ABOVE and BEYOND to capture our magical wedding day!! From our initial meeting to the delivery of our final photos, their professionalism and passion were very evident! I loved the fact that Mary joined me and the bridesmaids while Scott joined my husband and the groomsmen prior to the ceremony to literally capture every moment from beginning to end!! As a couple, they seamlessly blended into the background, capturing both traditional poses and candid, heartfelt moments. Their artistic eye for composition and lighting, coupled with a genuine connection with us and our guests, resulted in a collection of photographs that not only documented the day but also told a beautiful and authentic love story!! We wholeheartedly recommend Photography by Paquette to any couple seeking photographers who not only possess remarkable skill but also bring a GENUINE enthusiasm for turning moments into timeless memories!! I can't thank you both enough for all your hard work and effort that went into our photos!!"

"I honestly can not even put into words how absolutely wonderful Mary and Scott are. They were my first and only choice for our wedding this past September. I actually called them to see what their availability was before I booked a venue! And I am so glad I did!!! Not only are their photos amazing but their professionalism is as well. My husband and I were so truly blessed to have both of them as a part of our day! We have memories for a lifetime thanks to all the beautiful moments they both captured!! I cannot thank them enough!!"
