Full-Day Wedding Photography Coverage in Boston
If you're planning a Boston wedding and want complete, honest storytelling from start to finish, full-day photography coverage is the way to go. Most of the weddings I document span 8 hours, typically starting around 2 PM and going through the dance floor chaos by 10 PM. That window captures everything—from the quiet moments during prep to the full-throttle party at the night's end.
What's Included in Full-Day Coverage?
I offer custom wedding photography packages that all include full-day coverage. While the details vary, all collections are designed to keep things simple, stress-free, and seamless.

A planning call to walk through the timeline and logistics
Most weddings I photograph solo, but if your event could benefit from an additional perspective, I have a network of experienced second photographers I work with regularly. Here's why some couples choose to add a second photographer. You can also customize your experience with the following à la carte options:
Second photographer coverage
Full-length documentary videos of your ceremony, toasts, and dances
Hybird wedding coverage includes a 3–4 minute highlight film for easy sharing
How I Tell Your Story
As a documentary-style wedding photographer, I don’t stage moments—I watch them unfold and frame them honestly. That means you get a collection of authentic images that show what your day felt like. I use natural light as much as possible, shoot with prime lenses for intimacy, and move quietly to stay out of the way while capturing what matters.
What Your Day Looks Like
Getting Ready - I usually arrive 90 minutes before you're dressed. These early hours are filled with nerves,
laughs, and details—your dress, shoes, letters, and the room's buzz. Want better getting-ready shots?
Groom Prep - If logistics allow, I’ll also spend about 20 minutes photographing the groom getting ready—
shirt, tie, cufflinks, and pre-ceremony drinks with the guys.
Ceremony - I arrive early to connect with your officiant and photograph guests arriving. During the
ceremony, I stay discreet, capturing the emotions, expressions, and all the quiet details. Here are a few
ways to make your ceremony stress-free.
Family Photos - We usually do these right after the ceremony. About a month out, I’ll send a questionnaire
so you can list out what groupings matter to you. Check out this wedding day family photo guide to make it a breeze.
Couple Portraits - Most couples give me 10–15 minutes before dinner and maybe another 5–10 during
sunset. We keep it fun, low-key, and quick.
Cocktail Hour + Details - I’ll photograph the reception room and table details before guests arrive. During
cocktail hour, I’ll float around capturing laughter, clinks, and candid moments from a distance.
Reception - First dances, toasts, cake cuts, and all the little moments. And when it’s time for the dance floor, I’m there in the thick of it, wide lens in hand, capturing the energy.
