Boston Marriott Long Wharf Wedding Photographer & Videographer
Featured VenueNewport, Boston and beyond.
Boston Marriott Long Wharf puts your wedding on the water in the middle of the city. Move Mountains Co. photographed and filmed Jake + Diana's wedding here, with portraits on the wharf, the skyline over their shoulders and a dance floor that never emptied.
The harbor and the skyline
Boston Marriott Long Wharf is at 296 State Street, on Boston Harbor steps from Faneuil Hall, the North End and the New England Aquarium. The Harbor View Ballroom has floor-to-ceiling windows over the water and a connected outdoor terrace for cocktail hour, the Grand Ballroom handles bigger guest lists, and the Palm Garden atrium can host a ceremony.
For photos, the location does a lot of the work. Long Wharf's brick and cobblestones, the Custom House tower and the downtown skyline sit on one side, and open harbor and sailboats sit on the other, all a short walk from the ballroom.
Move Mountains Co. is a Northeast wedding photo and video team based in Providence, and Boston is one of the markets we know best. We've photographed and filmed weddings across Newport, Boston and beyond for 10 years, we're a preferred vendor at 100+ New England venues, and we're a ten-time The Knot Best of Weddings winner and a member of The Knot Hall of Fame.
