Hoboken weddings,
across the water.

Forty-three weddings on the mile square since 2014. The skyline. The piers. The Brass Rail. The W rooftop.

Hoboken weddings have a particular gift: the Manhattan skyline. From almost anywhere on the mile-long waterfront, you can find a frame that puts a couple in front of the most photogenic backdrop in America — with the bonus of golden hour reflecting off the Hudson at sunset.

I've photographed weddings across the mile square for fourteen years. I know which side streets photograph best at four o'clock in October. Which venues will hold a rooftop for a backup ceremony in February. Which Maxwell Place doormen will let you sneak in for a quiet portrait.

· Frequently asked ·

Hoboken, answered.

How much does a Hoboken wedding photographer cost?

Wedding photography in Hoboken typically ranges from $4,500 to $9,000 depending on coverage length, second shooter, and album options. My Hoboken-area packages begin at $5,400 for 6-hour coverage and go to $11,500 for full-day documentary coverage with film and an heirloom album.

What permits do I need for Hoboken outdoor photos?

Photos taken in public parks within Hoboken — Pier A, Pier C, Sinatra Park — do not require permits for "small unmounted equipment", which covers a wedding photography session. Closed-off areas, drone use, or anything that requires staging needs a film permit from the Hoboken Office of Cultural Affairs.

When does golden hour happen in Hoboken?

In summer, golden hour runs roughly 6:45–7:45PM. In winter it's 3:45–4:30PM. The Hoboken waterfront faces directly west across the Hudson — meaning the sun sets behind the Manhattan skyline, which makes for some of the most photographable backlight in the tri-state.

Can you photograph weddings at both Hoboken venues and NYC venues?

Yes. Many of my Hoboken couples have ceremonies in Hoboken and receptions across the river (or vice versa). I include up to two locations in all packages — additional locations are billed at $200/each plus mileage.

Do you photograph elopements in Hoboken?

Yes — Hoboken elopements have become a meaningful part of my work. Elopement coverage begins at $1,800 for two hours, including a courthouse or waterfront ceremony and a portrait walk.
