When should we book our wedding photographer?

Most couples reserve their photographer 12 to 18 months in advance, especially for popular dates in Boston and the North Shore.

Can we customize our wedding coverage?

Absolutely. Every wedding is different, and coverage can be tailored to fit your timeline, priorities, and vision for the day.

How many hours of coverage do we need?

Most weddings typically require 7 to 9 hours of coverage to fully capture the day from getting ready through the main reception events. This can vary depending on your timeline and priorities.

Do you travel for weddings outside of Boston?

Yes. I photograph weddings throughout Boston, the North Shore, and destinations beyond. Travel can be discussed based on your location and plans.

How long does it take to receive our photos?

Sneak peeks are provided within a few days so you can relive the highlights right away. Your full gallery is carefully edited and delivered within four to eight weeks.

How many photos will we receive?

The number of images will vary with the rhythm of your day. For a full day wedding, most couples receive 500 to 800 curated and edited images that capture the story as it naturally unfolded.

Investment

Your wedding day is fleeting. The photographs are what remain.

The emotion, the atmosphere, the people who gathered, and the moments you may not have even realized were happening.

Investing in wedding photography is about more than documenting a beautiful day.

It is about preserving a once in a lifetime chapter with care, artistry, and intention so it can be remembered for generations.

These are the images that will live in your home, be shared with family, and grow more meaningful with time. What feels like a single day now becomes part of your history.

The Process

Inquire
Share a few details about your wedding through the inquiry form. I’ll confirm availability and send over initial information so you can begin to understand the experience, approach, and what to expect.
Creative Consultation
We’ll connect to talk through your celebration, your vision, and the feeling you want your images to carry. This is a relaxed conversation to make sure everything feels aligned, thoughtful, and true to you.
Reserve Your Date
Once you’re ready to move forward, your wedding date is officially reserved with a signed agreement and retainer. From there, the experience is fully in place.
Intentional Planning
As your wedding day approaches, I’ll help guide the photography timeline with care, allowing space for beautiful light, refined portraits, meaningful details, and natural moments throughout the day.
The Wedding Day
On the day itself, I document your celebration with a calm, editorial eye. I’ll offer direction when it elevates the image, while also stepping back to capture the atmosphere, emotion, and in-between moments as they unfold naturally.
The Finished Collection
Your images are carefully edited and delivered through a private online gallery, ready for viewing, sharing, and printing. The final collection is designed to feel timeless, refined, and true to the story of your day.
