State Room Boston Wedding Photography & Videography
Featured VenueNewport, Boston and beyond.
The State Room gives Boston couples a view nobody forgets. Move Mountains Co. has photographed and filmed 15+ weddings at the State Room since 2019, 10+ of them between 2024 and 2026, and we've loved this venue since our New Year's Eve post from 2016. We know where the skyline sits behind the ceremony, how the light changes as the sun sets, and how to make the most of the city lights after dark.
270-degree views of the city and harbor
The State Room is a Longwood Venues property on the 33rd floor of 60 State Street, with 270-degree views of the city and harbor. Longwood lists the Great Room and Mezzanine for up to 560 guests for dinner and dancing, plus the Harborside rooms and Cityside. Our posts describe ceremonies "set against the backdrop of Boston's sprawling landscape seen through the venue's floor-to-ceiling windows" and a skyline that "added just the right touch of drama while still keeping the focus on the couple."
The Longwood team at the State Room is polished and welcoming, and every wedding we cover there runs beautifully from the first guest to the last dance.
Move Mountains Co. has photographed and filmed weddings across Newport, Boston and beyond for 10 years. We're a preferred vendor at 100+ New England venues, a ten-time The Knot Best of Weddings winner and a member of The Knot Hall of Fame.

Planning your State Room wedding timeline
- 1
Ceremony
Marry by the windows on site, or at a Boston church and come to the State Room for the reception. Allow time for city traffic.
- 2
Portraits
Plan portraits by the windows before the room fills, then add a short session at sunset.
- 3
Golden hour
In winter the sun sets early, so the ceremony itself may fall at sunset, as it did for Michael + Morgan. Check the sunset time for your date.
- 4
Night
Step back to the windows after dark for city-light portraits.
- 5
Weather
Everything is indoors, so rain won't change the plan; clouds can even add drama to the skyline.
- 6
Getting ready
Many couples get ready at a downtown hotel nearby.

How much does a State Room wedding photographer cost?

Can Move Mountains Co. provide both photography and video at The State Room?
Yes. Move Mountains Co. photographs and films weddings at The State Room, and we also offer the Luxe Booth photo booth. Our photographers and filmmakers are all MMC team members who train together, so they work as one crew on your day. Wedding films are delivered 16–20 weeks after the wedding, and MMC offers tiered photo, video and combined collections; reach out for current pricing.
Can you fly a drone at the State Room?
The State Room is close enough to the airport that we can’t fly a drone on the wedding day. When we can’t fly, we use stock aerial footage we’ve filmed there, so your film can still include that view of the property.
