Boston documentary wedding photographer with a soft spot for multicultural, nontraditional, and intimate weddings

I’m a Boston-based wedding and elopement photographer who captures love in all its forms. I’m especially drawn to multicultural weddings, nontraditional love stories, and intimate celebrations, but no matter the setting, I care most about telling your story with authenticity. With a deep commitment to inclusive storytelling, I am proud to be a trusted gay wedding photographer in Boston, dedicated to capturing the unique magic of queer love stories throughout Massachusetts and New England

When you work with me, you’ll get more than beautiful images; you’ll get an easy and personalized experience from start to finish. I’ll guide you when you need it, blend into the background when you don’t, and help you feel totally at ease in front of the camera. I’m here to capture the moments that matter most, because time will blur these moments, but we can make them unforgettable.

LGBTQ+ Love Story

LGBTQ+ wedding photography that’s affirming, inclusive, and grounded in a genuine understanding of queer relationships.

I’ve been a wedding photographer for over a decade. I love wedding photography because I’ve always been fascinated by the connection and dynamics that make each couple unique, and I strive to tell their stories through my lens. Some of my favorite events are multicultural wedding, LGBT love stories, surprise proposals, elopements, and intimate weddings. If I wasn’t a wedding photographer, I’d probably open a cat cafe or own a food truck. In my spare time, I enjoy quiet moments in nature, summer night walks in the city, and making my husband’s favorite desserts – mango cheesecake, tiramisu, and tres leches.

I'm Sam

Frequently Asked Questions

My approach is all about authentic storytelling with a punch of color. I lean into a documentary style, which means I’m looking for those fleeting, honest moments that you might not even remember in the whirlwind of the day, but will treasure for a lifetime. I want your photos to feel alive, full of movement, emotion, and vibrant energy that makes you say “that is so us!”

As a Boston wedding photographer, I’m constantly inspired by the city’s architectural diversity. I love the timeless, romantic feel of Beacon Hill and the Public Garden, but I’m equally drawn to the modern, industrial lines of the Seaport District. Whether you’re planning a grand celebration at the Boston Public Library or an intimate ceremony in the South End, I know how to find the perfect light in every hidden corner of the city.

Popular dates fill up fast (especially spring and fall), so I recommend booking 9-12 months out. That said, don’t hesitate to reach out even if your wedding is sooner, I might still have availability!

All packages include a pre-wedding consultation, high-resolution edited images, an online gallery for sharing, and printing rights. I also offer full-day coverage, intimate wedding options, and custom packages for unique celebrations. Take a look at my photography packages.

You’ll receive a sneak peek within a few days, and your full gallery will be ready in 4-6 weeks. I know you’ll be excited to relive the day, so I don’t keep you waiting long!
