Intimate Wedding Photographer in New England

I generally think of an intimate wedding as a celebration with around 60 guests or fewer. That is a guide rather than a hard cutoff; the emphasis is on a smaller gathering and time with the people you have invited. It can still include all the familiar parts of a wedding—getting ready, a ceremony, portraits, a meal, and dancing—or take a different shape.

The two can overlap. An intimate wedding often centers on bringing a small group together for a ceremony and reception. An elopement may center on a more private experience or an adventure, with or without guests. You do not need to choose the perfect label before reaching out. For a day built around hiking or exploring, see my adventure elopement photography.

Yes. We plan for the family photographs that matter to you and time for relaxed portraits together. I offer simple direction so you know what to do, then return to documenting the celebration. Portraits and the unplanned moments both belong in your wedding gallery.

It depends on what you want photographed, rather than the guest count alone. Getting ready, travel, a ceremony, portraits, dinner, and speeches can fill a day even with a small group. My wedding collections begin with six hours; I help you choose coverage once we have talked through the plans. My photography coverage guide offers examples.

Yes. I photograph weddings at private homes and smaller venues, including restaurant celebrations. We discuss the rooms and outdoor spaces you will use, the available light, travel, and an alternative for outdoor plans if the weather changes. The photography is shaped around the place and the people gathering there.

Not every intimate wedding needs one. A second photographer can be helpful when you are getting ready in different places, events overlap, or you would like more perspectives on the gathering. Eight- and ten-hour wedding collections include a second photographer. We can talk through what fits your plans.

Yes. I photograph on digital and 35mm film. Film can be added to any package, and the ten-hour wedding collection includes two rolls. The developed and scanned film photographs are delivered digitally in your gallery. See my film wedding photography.
