I'm Eric, a documentary-style wedding photographer based in greater Boston, Massachusetts, photographing weddings all over New England since 2015. I mostly stay out of the way and photograph your day as it actually happens: the nervous laugh before the aisle, your grandmother's hands, the last song after the shoes come off. The goal is simple. When you open your gallery, it should look like the two of you, not like anyone else's wedding.

recent work

From a nor'easter in Gloucester to a rocky coastline in the sun, a greenhouse, a mountain wedding and one very purple engagement session. Tap any photo to see it bigger.

how the day goes

Most of the day, I'm the calm person in the corner who notices everything. I step in for a short family list and about 20 minutes of portraits, then get out of the way again.

what I photograph

a usual wedding, frame by frame

No staged "candids." I work with the light you have and keep a low profile, so your guests forget I'm there. I've photographed in every kind of New England weather, and when the day runs late, we shift and still get every photo on the list.

  1. Getting ready

    Outfits on the hanger, rings and letters, buttons and ties, and the people keeping you calm.

  2. Ceremony

    The walk down the aisle, both of your faces during the vows, the first kiss, and everyone who cried a little.

  3. Family & wedding party

    A short, organized family list, then a looser set with your wedding party where they can be themselves.

  4. Couple portraits

    My favorite part of the day. About 20 unhurried minutes, just the two of you, in the best light we can find. Light direction, lots of room to just be together.

  5. Details

    Flowers, tables, the cake, the venue, and every small thing you spent months choosing. If it matters to you, it's in the gallery.

  6. Reception

    Your entrance, the toasts, first dance, parent dances, the packed dance floor and the send-off.

  7. Your gallery

    Around 60 to 90 edited photos per hour of coverage in a private online gallery. Every file is print-ready, with an easy download link to share with family. Sneak peek in 2 weeks, full gallery in 6.

about

hi, I'm Eric.

I've been photographing weddings since 2015. I'm based in the greater Boston area and travel all over New England, from harbor towns to mountain inns.

Most of the day, I'm quietly catching the candid, unexpected moments that just happen: a brother fixing a tie, a grandparent mouthing the vows, the two of you laughing at something nobody else heard. But my favorite part is couple portraits. Those 20 minutes when it's just the two of you, a little light direction from me, and a lot of room to be yourselves.

I've photographed in all sorts of weather, including a full nor'easter, and the occasional delay has never cost a couple their photos. We shift, we adjust, and we get everything done. And I have one rule I don't break: I don't leave a wedding until I've captured every photo you asked for.

When I'm not at a wedding, I'm usually traveling somewhere new or out adventuring with my dog.
