I was recently the wedding photographer for a Boston wedding, and the reception was held at the UMASS Club. Are you planning a wedding in Boston and looking for the perfect venue to host your reception? All of the wedding reception photos shown here are from a spectacular September 2023 wedding and it is definitely worth a look!

A Wedding Reception with a Boston View
The UMASS club is situated on the 32nd floor of the One Beacon Street building (yes, there are elevators), offering breathtaking views of the Boston skyline and the Charles River. You can easily see the State House, Boston Common, the Custom House Clock Tower, and many more local landmarks. Your guests will be in awe as they take in the panoramic views of the city while celebrating your special day. The location also provides easy access to nearby hotels and transportation, making it convenient for out-of-town guests.
The floor-to-ceiling windows in the ballroom allow natural light to flood the space, enhancing the elegant atmosphere and creating a warm and inviting ambiance. It creates the perfect backdrop for wedding photography with a Boston twist!

Kristen and Jared chose to dance to Frankie Valli’s “Can’t Take My Eyes Off of You” for their first dance, and I’d say they did a fantastic job. Twists and twirls galore, they were both fantastic dancers and it was a sure sign that this wedding reception was off to an amazing start!
Dancing the Night Away! What a Reception!
This was definitely a crowd that knew how to have a good time. There wasn’t a moment all night that the dance floor wasn’t packed with guests who were having the time of their lives celebrating the newlyweds! They danced, they jumped, they sang, they did it all! I’ve also never seen a group of guests that did so well at the limbo!
Check out these photographs of an awesome time on the dance floor! I really had a wonderful time photographing all the action. It’s great when the guests really get into it!
An American Wedding
One of the most amazing wedding reception endings I’ve ever had the pleasure of photographing… at the end of the night, everyone started singing “God Bless America” and then out came the flags. Small flags, big flags, and then BIGGER flags! What a way to end a beautiful night at the UMASS Club! I was so happy that I was able to be the wedding photographer for this wonderful couple!
While I might not ever photograph another wedding with this many American flags, it was definitely an amazing and touching experience. Does anyone have a July 4th wedding coming up? If so, I’m your wedding photographer 🙂
Wedding Ceremony
Kristen and Jared’s wedding ceremony was at the beautiful Boston’s Basilica of Our Lady of Perpetual Help, sometimes known as The Mission Church. I’ll be sharing those photos in a separate blog post soon!
