If you’re searching for a wedding venue that blends modern art, nature, and stunning scenery, deCordova Museum and Sculpture Park is a truly special choice. Located in Lincoln, MA, just 30 minutes outside of Boston, this contemporary art museum and 30-acre sculpture park offers a one-of-a-kind setting for couples who appreciate creativity and the beauty of the outdoors.

As a Boston wedding photographer, I’ve had the pleasure of capturing incredible celebrations at deCordova. Its sculpture-lined landscapes, sleek modern interiors, and serene waterfront views create a stunning backdrop for wedding photography that is as artistic as the venue itself.
