About Liza Lavine Photography

Liza Lavine Photography

Head Photographer

Half documentary. Half editorial. Fully yours. Hi, I’m Liza, a wedding photographer based in Boston, serving couples throughout New England and beyond. With a background in fashion photography, I blend candid storytelling with timeless, editorial-inspired imagery. My goal is to capture your day as it naturally unfolds while creating photographs that feel authentic, timeless, and true to you. Years from now, I want your photographs to do more than show you how your wedding looked—I want them to bring you back to exactly how it felt.

Most of the couples you see in my portfolio had never had a professional photoshoot before and started out feeling nervous in front of the camera. Helping my couples feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera is one of the most important parts of my job. My approach is relaxed and natural, with gentle guidance every step of the way, so you’ll never have to wonder what to do. Many wedding collections also include a complimentary engagement session, which I highly recommend. It’s a great opportunity for us to get to know each other, get comfortable in front of the camera, and make the wedding day feel even more natural and effortless

    Such a Great Photographer to Work With

    Working with Liza was such a great experience. She's incredibly talented, but what stood out the most was how easy she is to work with. As a photo and video team, we really appreciate photographers who collaborate well with other vendors, and Liza does exactly that. She has a beautiful editing style, and we loved her color grading. Throughout the wedding, she was always attentive to the couple, especially the bride, making sure everything stayed on track while creating a calm and positive atmosphere. We'd happily work with her again and would definitely recommend her to any couple looking for someone who is both talented and genuinely enjoyable to have by your side on your wedding day.

    A dream to work with

    Liza was extremely professional and organized throughout the entire process, from our engagement session through our wedding gallery delivery. I especially valued her thoughtful guidance in the months leading up to our wedding as we constructed our timeline. We also appreciated how well she collaborated with our videographer and how kind and patient she was during photos with our family. We are so pleased with our final gallery. Our friends and family loved the photos as well -- all of our guests are so thankful to have such wonderful documentation of the day. Liza perfectly captures candid moments as well as beautiful, posed portraits. She also managed to get a photo of every single guest throughout the day!

    Thank you, Liza!

    We love Liza!!! She was an absolute gem to work with from our very first phone call. She is incredibly knowledgeable, experienced, and so talented! On top of that she is a kind, caring, and genuine person who truly wants the best for you on your wedding day. We met her during our engagement shoot and felt an instant connection with her genuine, straightforward approach. She took time to understand our vision, asked for inspiration photos, and delivered exactly what we wanted on our wedding day. Even though both our venues were new to her, she scouted out incredible backdrops and knew exactly where to position us for each shot! During the photo hours on our wedding day she was calm, prepared, and helped everyone with posing and prompts to get us the results we wanted. During the reception she blended seamlessly into the night, prioritizing capturing our best moments without taking away from our experience of the night! Within 48 hours, we had 20 sneak peek photos we absolutely loved! Her talent really shines through. Liza arrived early, kept everything on schedule, and handled our family members with such grace and professionalism. We can't recommend her highly enough for couples looking for a photographer who listens, cares, and creates stunning images. 11/10!!! ️

    The Very Best!

    From the moment we booked with Liza we had absolutely the best experience. We tend to feel awkward in posed photos, but she made us feel so comfortable at our engagement session that we stopped worrying and trusted her to capture all of our favorite moments! In one hour she snapped more great photos of us than we have from all the previous years of our relationship. Liza's instinct and experience with timing, flow, and creative decisions made our entire wedding day easier even though day-of details can be overwhelming. Her style is both intimate and glamorous, and I especially requested to see all the silly and fun cocktail hour and dancefloor moments she could capture, which we truly treasure with all of our loved ones. Even our friends and family commented on how she was everywhere and getting all the angles - snapping us of course, as well as families, friends, and happy reunions. Liza was warm and friendly, supportive, and professional throughout, and if you are considering working with her for a wedding - or any event or reason - I cannot recommend her highly enough!

The images had exactly the style we wanted, and we were thrilled with how quickly we received them after the wedding. Liza went out of her way to make us feel comfortable in front of the camera, and it made all the difference in how natural our photos turned out. We'd recommend her in a heartbeat to any couple looking for a photographer who genuinely cares about their day.

Typically, couples book me about 8-16 months before their wedding date. I encourage you to reach out as soon as possible about my availability, even if you’re planning on a shorter time frame.
I offer two types of editing—something rare in the wedding industry. Color-Corrected Photos – Edited in Lightroom to enhance colors, exposure, contrast, and white balance, making your photos vibrant and rich. Fully Edited Photos – Retouched in both Lightroom and Photoshop to perfect skin, remove distractions, and refine details like hair, clothing, and background. Think high-end, Vogue-level quality. I also provide gallery examples so you can see how other clients receive their photos.
Some of my packages include a 72-hour sneak peek, while the full gallery is typically ready within 5-8 weeks. If I can deliver them sooner, I will—there’s no reason to keep my couples waiting! For those who need their photos even faster, I offer an express delivery option, ensuring the entire gallery is ready within 14 days.
Yes! While I photograph many weddings on my own, I also work with trusted second photographers when additional coverage is needed or included in a wedding package. Having a second photographer allows us to capture more moments, different perspectives, and simultaneous events throughout the day, ensuring no important detail is missed. All photographers I work with are carefully selected and shoot in a style that complements my own.
The booking process is simple! First, we’ll schedule a quick 20–30 minute phone or Zoom call where we can get to know each other, discuss your wedding plans, answer any questions you may have, and review the available packages. If needed, I can also create a custom package tailored to your specific needs. Once you’re ready to move forward, I’ll send over a contract with all the details of your wedding day. After both parties sign the agreement and the 30% retainer is paid, your date is officially reserved and you’re booked!
Don’t worry! After photographing weddings throughout New England, I’m prepared for all kinds of weather. Some of my favorite images have been created on rainy days. I’ll help adjust the timeline if needed and find beautiful covered locations to ensure you still receive stunning photographs.
Absolutely! Most of the couples you see in my portfolio had never had a professional photoshoot before and started out feeling nervous in front of the camera. My approach is relaxed and natural, with gentle guidance every step of the way, so you’ll never have to wonder what to do. Many wedding collections also include a complimentary engagement session, which I highly recommend. It’s a great way for us to get to know each other, get comfortable in front of the camera, and help the wedding day feel even more relaxed and effortless.
Yes! I’m based in Boston and regularly photograph weddings throughout Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New Hampshire, Maine, Vermont, and beyond. I’d be happy to discuss travel details for your wedding location.
