The Newbury Boston Wedding Photography & Videography
Featured VenueNewport, Boston and beyond.
The Newbury Boston sits at the corner of the Public Garden and Newbury Street, which may be the most photogenic address in the city. Move Mountains Co. photographed and filmed Brendan + Taylor's wedding here, after first photographing their engagement session in the Public Garden. We called their gallery "one of the most movie-esque set of wedding photos you've ever seen."

Boston's most photogenic address
The hotel opened in 1927 as the first Ritz-Carlton hotel in the United States and reopened as The Newbury in 2021. Its event spaces include the Assembly Room, with sweeping windows over the Public Garden and a silver-leaf ceiling; the Garden Room, the building's original 1927 dining room, with restored details and Public Garden views; plus the Newbury Salon, Hunt's Room and Ivy Room. A grand staircase leads guests up to the second-floor event spaces.
The Newbury's team takes great care of every celebration, and it's a joy to work in a hotel that loves this neighborhood as much as we do.
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.

Ask The Newbury which rooms fit your ceremony, cocktail hour and reception.

Golden hour
The Public Garden is lovely in late light. Check sunset for your date.

Weather
The event spaces are all indoors with big windows, so rain only changes where the portraits happen.
