TOP 10 NORTH SHORE WEDDING VENUES

The North Shore of Massachusetts is a place that I hold dear to my heart. The miles of pristine beaches, rocky shores, and towering cliffs. Rich history, art, and cultural scene. What to not love (traffic on 1A doesn’t count)?

And of course, there are plenty of unique wedding venues on the North Shore for every taste. Wedding venue with an ocean view? We have it! Rustic barn with all that countryside vibe surrounded by orchards? We have it! Historic manor with gold&bronze elegance and chic? We have it! Farms, antique hotels, yacht clubs... As we said, North Shore has a wedding venue for every bride and groom.

I have lived and worked as a wedding photographer on North Shore for more than 8 years. I know everything about it. All shortcuts. Tides and sunsets. Local accommodation and transportation. Churches and synagogues. Trusted vendors. That’s why I have a special place in my heart for local brides and grooms, i.e. special discount for North Shore weddings. So let us know if you plan to say your “I do” anywhere from Revere to Gloucester, and from Andover to Topsfield to Nahant.

    The Oceanview of Nahant

    Nahant, MA. Hands down, this one is our favorite. Wedding on the beach with the Atlantic ocean as a background. Endless opportunities for wedding photography. The venue was built especially for weddings.
