A long-form guide shaped by years photographing and filming celebrations across New England, New York City, Ireland, Las Vegas, and destinations worldwide.
Photography and filmmaking are separate services, each beginning at $5,900. Photo and film coverage together begins at $11,800. Smaller, associate-led elopements are offered through For Lovers Elopements, beginning at $2,000.
Same starting rate every day of the week. No weekday rate. Five continuous-coverage collections. A clear investment before the conversation begins.
Boston is home. Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New Hampshire, Vermont, Maine, and Connecticut are our everyday map.
Newport celebrations, Vermont wedding weekends, Maine coast gatherings, and New York City weddings all have their own rhythm.
As your Boston and New England wedding photographer and videographer, we build the coverage around that rhythm... with destination wedding photography, filmmaking, and real Super 8 wedding film available for Ireland, Europe, and worldwide celebrations.
Now booking 2026 through fall 2028. Most couples book 9–18 months ahead. Shorter notice is welcome when the date is open.

A note from Jessica + Corey
This is not a checklist you need to follow perfectly.
It is a set of questions, timing principles, and production truths that help you make decisions with confidence. The day should feel aligned, grounded, and lived, with enough structure to support the people inside it.
The guide
Eight decisions that change the experience.
01
Start with priorities
Before you calculate hours, name the people, moments, voices, places, and atmosphere that make this celebration yours. Coverage follows meaning.
Choose three feeling words
List five non-negotiable memories
Decide what needs stills, movement, or sound
02
Set the day around light
Ceremony time affects portraits, guest comfort, room light, and reception flow. Golden-hour portraits often work best 45–60 minutes before sunset, when the season allows.
Check sunset for the exact date
Ask where the sun falls at ceremony time
Create a weather-safe portrait plan
03
Let getting ready breathe
The final stage of getting ready often carries more feeling than the beauty routine itself: the people helping, the room settling, and the moment the outfit becomes real.
Finish hair and makeup before dressing
Use the brightest, calmest available room
Gather details and remove packaging
04
Choose the reveal that means something
A first look can create privacy, settle nerves, and free cocktail hour. Waiting for the aisle can carry its own weight. Both work when portrait time is honestly protected.
Keep a first look private when possible
Plan separate portraits for an aisle reveal
Leave time to feel before moving on
05
Make family photographs humane
A short named list and a person who knows everyone will do more than a giant collection of vague groupings. Essential combinations first; natural extensions can follow.
Use first names and relationships
Flag mobility or family dynamics
Choose one liaison for each side
06
Protect ceremony sound
For film, sound is part of the image. Private vows, letters, live music, readings, speeches, and surprise performances need to be known before they happen.
Tell the film and DJ teams what will be spoken
Confirm microphone access and restrictions
Keep phones and fabric away from microphones
07
Keep portraits connected to the day
Portraits should feel like a chapter of the celebration, not an interruption. Choose locations for light, meaning, and proximity before choosing them for novelty.
Protect a short sunset window
Build travel into the schedule
Let editorial and documentary frames coexist
08
Give the reception an ending
A complete story usually stays through the final major event and a few songs of open dancing. The right ending might be an exit, an after-party, or simply the room at full energy.
Group toasts and formal dances thoughtfully
Feed the team when you eat
Choose the last documented chapter
Build backward from light. Add the travel. Protect the voices. Name the people. Then leave enough room for the day to surprise you.
The detail box
Gather once. Photograph with intention.
Place everything together before coverage begins so the creative team can work efficiently while you stay with your people.
Paper + personal
Invitation suite, vow books, notes, stationery, fragrance, meaningful objects, heirlooms, and cultural details.
Attire + adornment
Dress or outfit on a thoughtful hanger, shoes, veil, tie, socks, cufflinks, jewelry, watch, and hair pieces.
Rings + florals
All rings together, cleaned and separated from packaging, plus bouquets, boutonnieres, and loose styling blooms when available.
Photography reads composition and stillness.
It preserves gesture, relationship, design, expression, and the visual history that can live on a wall or in an album.
Film reads sound, motion, and pacing.
It preserves voices, vows, laughter, music, and the sensory rhythm that cannot exist in a single frame.
The Combs Creative field notes
A plan that leaves room for you.
Tell us where you are starting, what feels complicated, and which memories matter most. We will help you connect the right coverage to a day you can actually enjoy.
Use the guide as a starting point, then make it yours. Keep the traditions you love, rethink the ones you do not, and tell us what being present looks like for you.
Editorial direction helps with light, shape, and composition. Documentary attention protects what is actually happening. A little guidance can make space for you to settle in without repeating every moment for the camera.
Give audio a place in the plan
Tell the team which voices matter. Confirm ceremony and speech locations, microphone access, and the time needed to test sound. Super 8 and recorded audio are separate decisions.
A list of people, not a list of poses
Prioritize relationships, accessibility, and meaningful details. Keep sensitive family context in your private questionnaire and choose someone who can help gather each group.
When the details multiply, return to three questions: who matters most, what you want to experience, and what you want to remember. Use those answers to edit the schedule, refine the photo priorities, and decide where coverage makes the biggest difference.
A real break is built into the day. A hot meal is provided for coverage over 4 hours. If no break is planned, the team takes one.
Upgrade-only after booking. You may add to your collection; it cannot be downgraded.

The same collections. A different sense of place.
