New England wedding photographer
Wedding photography across Boston, Portland, Maine, and New Hampshire.
Muyinza Photography is based in Boston, Massachusetts and available for celebrations throughout northern New England. Nearly two decades behind the camera means calm direction when you need it and room to be present when you do not.
One story, wherever it happens
Consistent coverage across your New England plans.
Couples do not always live, plan, and marry in the same city. You may be based in Boston, hosting the wedding in Maine, or bringing family together in New Hampshire.
I'm Muyinza Kasirye, a Black wedding photographer based in Boston, Massachusetts. I want couples to feel seen as themselves, wherever in New England they marry, and the work is grounded in honest color, real expression and the relationships that make the celebration matter.
I photograph the day as one connected story: the anticipation before the ceremony, the people who travelled to be there, the structure of family portraits, and the unplanned moments that give the gallery its life.
Share your date and venue when you inquire. I will confirm availability and any location-specific travel details before you book.
Geographic clarity: Muyinza Photography is based in Boston, Massachusetts and serves Portland, Maine as part of its New England wedding service area.
Wedding service area
Three markets, named clearly.
Boston is home base. Portland, Maine and New Hampshire are active service areas, with travel confirmed from the venue address rather than hidden behind vague regional language.
Portland, Maine
Available for weddings in Portland, Maine, southern Maine, and coastal Maine. Dragonwood, the lakeside venue in Parkman, refers its couples to me through Carrie's wedding packet, and those couples can start at the Dragonwood wedding photography page. Share the venue address when you inquire so availability and travel details can be confirmed.
Maine wedding photography details →New Hampshire
Available for celebrations across New Hampshire, including the Seacoast, southern New Hampshire, the Lakes Region, and the White Mountains. Venue and travel details are confirmed at inquiry.

The shot that tells the story
Prepared, observant, and never louder than the moment.
A different venue changes the logistics, not the way your photographs should feel.
Ask the venue which indoor room would be available for portraits and when it can be used. The wedding rain-plan checklist helps you compare room access, setup changes and the person responsible for the weather decision.
To see how different settings look in photographs, start with the four selected wedding stories on my Boston wedding page. They show actual celebrations in Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut, with locations named. Choose by the part of the day you want to discuss, whether that is an outdoor ceremony, indoor portraits or a reception.
I will guide portraits and family groups with calm, clear direction. During the rest of the day, I am watching for reactions, relationships, and the small exchanges you could not see while everything was moving.

Before you choose coverage
One wedding. More than one address.
For a wedding with separate getting-ready, ceremony and reception locations, send the whole route when you ask about photography. The useful question is which people and moments need coverage at each stop, and whether the moves leave room for them.
Boston is my base; Greater Boston, Portland, Maine and New Hampshire are part of the service area. A town name helps start the conversation. The exact addresses, access windows and priorities make it possible to discuss the actual day.
Compare the three patterns below. On a small screen, scroll the table sideways.
| Your plan | What to check | What to send with the inquiry |
|---|---|---|
| Everything at one property | Rooms may have different opening times. Walking between buildings, stairs and a room reset can still separate photographs. | The actual rooms or buildings, when you can enter them, and any move that needs transport or assistance. |
| Preparation, ceremony and reception at different addresses | Each move has a departure, a journey and an arrival. Separate preparation locations can also create simultaneous priorities. | Every address in order, which people will be at each one, fixed event times and the moments you want covered at both preparation stops. |
| An extra portrait stop | The detour needs permission, a way to reach the picture location and a return plan. Decide what happens if the stop becomes impractical. | Why the place matters, who would come, what access is confirmed, and whether portraits nearby would also meet your priorities. |
Separate the journey to your wedding from movement during it.
Getting the photography team to the wedding and moving between wedding locations are different questions. For the first, ask which location-specific travel arrangements and costs apply to your proposal. Do not assume a service-area listing means every journey, overnight stay, parking charge or ferry arrangement is included.
For the second, travel, parking and loading take place within the wedding-day coverage window described in the eight-hour timeline guide. Two addresses close together on a map can still have different entrances, parking arrangements and room-access times. Confirm the route before deciding what the schedule can hold.
When two getting-ready locations need photographs at the same time, name the moments at each. Discuss photographer assignments and where everyone will meet again; having two photographers does not, by itself, resolve conflicting access or departure times.
Write each move in three parts.
- Ready to leave: What is the last photograph here? Who needs to be dressed, gathered and in the vehicle before departure?
- Arrived: Where does the vehicle actually stop? Separate the drop-off, parking space and venue entrance if they differ.
- Ready for photographs: Can everyone enter the room or reach the portrait spot? Include walking, access checks and any setup needed before the next moment.
Ask the venue or planner to check the access details. Mark an unanswered question as open instead of filling it with a hopeful estimate. Use current transport information for your date, then discuss the margin the real plan needs.
The ceremony access checklist covers positions and restrictions once the team is inside. The rain-plan guide covers the backup room. Keep those answers alongside the route rather than building three disconnected plans.
An extra portrait stop: a fictional example
A couple plans to leave their ceremony for waterfront portraits before joining the reception. Their priority is a few quiet photographs together; they also want to spend time with guests. The drive estimate looks workable, but the portrait entrance, parking and return transport are still unconfirmed.
They can compare keeping the stop, choosing a closer permitted setting, or making photographs at the reception property if access allows. The decision starts with what they want from the pictures. If the waterfront itself matters, confirm that route before treating the stop as part of the schedule. If privacy together matters more than that exact background, discuss which practical setting could give them that experience. This is an illustration, not a Muyinza wedding or a promised coverage plan.
Check the entrance and transport for each address.
These public examples show why an address needs an access plan. They are planning references, not claims that I have photographed at these locations.
Boston parking
Boston's resident-parking guidance describes neighborhood restrictions and limited visitor spaces. Ask the venue for the correct entrance, drop-off and photographer parking; a nearby residential street may not be usable. Other towns have their own rules.
Island transport from Portland, Maine
For a ferry-dependent plan, check the operator's rules. Casco Bay Lines' FAQ says regular passenger tickets do not reserve a particular sailing and there is no parking at its terminal. Check the schedule for your date, onward transport and return arrangements before building coverage around a boat.
New Hampshire public land
NH State Parks' special-use rules tie permitted activities to an authorized site, date and time. Ask the park which permission your plan needs. The New Hampshire wedding page separates state-park and national-forest planning questions.
Send a route I can respond to.
Use the editable brief to list your date options, addresses, people, access questions and the first and last moments you want photographed. Keep separate venue options on separate lines; a Boston option and a Portland, Maine option are alternatives, not stops on one wedding-day route.
You do not need a finished itinerary to inquire. Write “not yet confirmed” beside a missing address or access window. In the form, use “Venue or city” for the main venue or shortlist and “What matters most to you?” for the route and priorities. The required date field takes one date; label it tentative in your message if needed and include alternatives there.

Wedding coverage
Three tiers to discuss for your date.
Choose from Elopement (2 hours, $1,050), Ceremony & Celebration (5 hours, $1,500), and Full Day (8 hours, $2,100). All three include a high-resolution online gallery and download rights. The two photographers, engagement session and 48-hour sneak peek shown here are Full Day inclusions. Confirm availability and any location-specific travel arrangements in writing before booking.
Still comparing venues? Send the shortlist.
List each option by town and state, along with your preferred date or date options. The location brief and inquiry instructions help you separate confirmed plans from open questions. Add a link to a wedding story if a particular photograph helps explain what you want.
Ask about your date and venue options. With no date options yet, email me about your plans.

Regional wedding questions
Before you inquire
Where is Muyinza Photography based?
Boston, Massachusetts. Boston and Greater Boston are the primary wedding market, with service also available in Maine, New Hampshire, and across New England.
Which Maine areas do you serve?
Portland, Maine, southern Maine, and coastal Maine, plus lake venues such as Dragonwood in Parkman by request. Send your venue and date when you inquire so availability and travel details can be confirmed. The Maine wedding photographer page covers Maine planning notes.
Do you photograph weddings throughout New Hampshire?
Yes, including the Seacoast, southern New Hampshire, the Lakes Region and the White Mountains. Send your date and venue when you inquire so availability and location-specific travel details can be confirmed. See the New Hampshire wedding photographer page for regional planning notes.
Can we inquire while choosing between venues in different states?
Yes. Include the towns and states on your shortlist and any known preparation, ceremony and reception addresses. The form requires a wedding date: enter your preferred option, label it tentative in the message if needed, and list any alternative dates there. If you have no date options yet, email muyinza@smith.black. Share the moments you want covered so availability, travel and the proposed coverage can be discussed before booking.
Does Full Day coverage change by location?
The $2,100 Full Day tier includes eight hours, two photographers, a 48-hour sneak peek, a high-resolution gallery, download rights and a complimentary engagement session. The shorter published tiers are Elopement (2 hours, $1,050) and Ceremony & Celebration (5 hours, $1,500). Confirm the options for your date and any location-specific travel arrangements in writing before booking.
Can I inquire before the venue rain plan is finalized?
Yes. Share your wedding date, venue or shortlist, and any indoor backup details you already have. Mention unresolved room access or timing questions in the inquiry. A finished rain plan is not required to ask about availability; venue arrangements and photography plans need to be confirmed before the wedding.
What should we send for a wedding at multiple locations?
Send every known preparation, ceremony, portrait and reception address in order, the people and priority moments at each stop, and any fixed access or event times. Flag unknown entrances, parking or transport arrangements. If two preparation locations need coverage at the same time, say which moments matter at both so photographer assignments can be discussed.
Does serving New England mean all travel costs are included?
A service-area listing does not establish what travel is included in your proposal. Share the route and ask which travel arrangements and costs apply, including any parking, overnight stay or ferry needs. Confirm the agreed terms in writing before booking; the locations alone do not determine a final quote.
