Nantucket Wedding and Portrait Planning

Nantucket wedding coordinators plan and assist dozens of events each year. Putting the weekend in their hands lets you breathe easy and enjoy your wedding. They will guide you to the most trusted and professional vendors the island has to offer. We highly recommend Unique Nantucket and Nantucket Island Events.

Planning your engagement session.

Your engagement session is a great time to get comfortable being photographed, before your wedding day. We prefer to photograph these sessions about an hour prior to sunset, for the best light and for a chance of one of our famous Nantucket sunsets. Weekdays are always best, since we are nearly 100% booked on weekends with weddings this season. Our Nantucket Engagement Sessions page has more info on how and when to book your session, as well as what to wear.

Planning your wedding photography. 

We are normally hired right after the date is set and the wedding venue is booked. Since we do book as far as 18 months in advance, our calendar fills up quickly for hot dates. Nantucket has a fairly short wedding season (May - October) and peak wedding dates are high in demand. We incourage inquiring couples to contact us asap in order to secure us for their wedding photography.

Our preferred Nantucket wedding vendors are all local, so they won’t risk being stuck off island on your wedding day. They know the ins and outs of our quirky island.

Planning your Nantucket family portrait session.

We book family portraits midweek only during peak season (June-October). About an hour prior to sunset is best for light on a bright island with reflective sand and water and not much shelter. Our approach to family portrait sessions is casual and lifestyle rather than super posed and stiff. We encourage families to dress comfortably and be themselves. We do book up quickly in peak season, so be sure to inquire as soon as you know your travel plans. Visit our post on what to wear to a Nantucket portrait session.
