About Randall Garnick
Based in MetroWest Massachusetts (but will travel pretty much anywhere)
Hi, and thanks for taking a minute to look at my work. I'm Randall Garnick, and I'm a Boston photographer who travels all over New England and also photographs in several destinations each year.
My mission for Randall Garnick Photography:
At Randall Garnick Photography, we create timeless, heartfelt images that honor love, legacy, and human connection. Capturing the joy, depth, and beauty of family, we celebrate the moments that matter most.
I started Randall Garnick Photography when I moved home from California in 2009, and I specialize in wedding photography, architecture & interior photography, and commercial photography. It's been a wild ride since this small business started, having photographed 350+ weddings, hundreds of beautiful interior spaces, and dozens and dozens of corporate events. For more about my commercial photography work, head to my page on Boston commercial photography here.

"His work speaks for itself, managing to simultaneously be truthful to the moments and emotions he captures, while still creative, artistic, and innovative. He puts so much thought and heart into every photo, and the results are truly unbelievable..." - Liana & Josh
Randall Garnick Photography is a proud partner of 1% for the Planet. 1% of annual sales go to non-profits that work to create positive changes for our environment and planet. Giving back is a big part of my mission.
I’m here to capture your story—the real, joyful, unfiltered moments that matter.
If you're the kind of couple who values connection over perfection, laughter over stiff poses, and being present over worrying about the little things, we might be a great fit.
I've been photographing weddings for over 15 years, and while styles and trends come and go, one thing has remained constant—every couple has a unique story to tell. My job is to capture yours in a way that feels effortless and true to you.
What You Can Expect Working With Me
- A Calm, Laid-Back Approach – Weddings can be unpredictable, but I keep things relaxed so you can enjoy your day.
- Authentic, Natural Images – No awkward posing or forced smiles—just real, meaningful moments.
- An Experienced, Trustworthy Guide – From timelines to lighting, I’ve photographed hundreds of weddings across New England, and I know how to make things run smoothly.
I've been so lucky and blessed to work with amazing couples in every New England state in addition to New York, Pennsylvania, California, and the Florida Keys. For destination weddings, I've been commissioned to photograph in San Francisco, CA, Carmel, CA, in the Caribbean (Saint Martin), and to Playa del Carmen, Mexico. It's what drives me creatively and challenges me to create something unique for each couple - your personal story.
When I'm not behind a camera, you'll find me:
- spending time with family: my beautiful wife Erin, our 20-month-old son Charlie, our brand new daughter Eloise & our 2 dogs
- training in Krav Maga (earned my 2nd-degree black belt on 6/8/24!)
- walking with our 2 Australian shepherds, Luna and Keely
- working on too many house projects
- planning my next photography adventure
- in the kitchen, making bread from scratch or baking something inspired by the Great British Baking Show
- trying to perfect my traditional Neapolitan pizza-making skills
By the numbers (professionally):

Self-portrait I made at Cape Breton Highlands N.P. in Canada. This is from a 2700-mile road trip to the easternmost point in North America, Cape Spear near St. John's in Newfoundland Canada. See my landscape photography here.
Trekking the Tour du Mont Blanc in 2018. The hike covers about 100 miles, 10,000 meters of ascent, and follows a trail from France to Italy, to Switzerland, and back to France. One of the best things I've ever done. See more from the entire hike. photo credit: Erin McArdle
Hiking the Inca Trail in Peru in 2016. 25 miles of hiking, 4 days, peak elevation 13, 780 ft above sea level, no showers, and an amazing experience. See more from the entire Peru trip. photo credit: Erin McArdle
