deCordova museum weddings

If you’re searching for a wedding venue that blends modern art, nature, and stunning scenery, deCordova Museum and Sculpture Park is a truly special choice. Located in Lincoln, MA, just 30 minutes outside of Boston, this contemporary art museum and 30-acre sculpture park offers a one-of-a-kind setting for couples who appreciate creativity and the beauty of the outdoors.

As a Boston wedding photographer, I’ve had the pleasure of capturing incredible celebrations at deCordova. Its sculpture-lined landscapes, sleek modern interiors, and serene waterfront views create a stunning backdrop for wedding photography that is as artistic as the venue itself.

"We have immense gratitude for Randall and incredible respect for his work! Randall captured our inner essence and joy on our wedding day. The gallery of photos he produced tells the story of our special day far beyond the images. He is soft spoken, gentle and unassuming in his manner. He puts so much time and effort into the planning process that the day is seamless. He is a consummate professional and it shows! We would choose him all over again!!"

- Julie & Carel

"By the time we met him on the day-of, he already felt like a trusted friend."
