My experience photographing at the


Willowdale Estate


Photographing weddings at the Willowdale Estate in Topsfield, Massachusetts, has been a highlight of my 15-year career as a wedding photographer. The estate offers couples a blend of historic charm and modern conveniences. The staff at Willowdale are exceptional; their knowledge and coordination skills ensure that every wedding runs smoothly, and their integrated planning service alleviates the stress of coordinating vendors and schedules. Whether your ceremony is held on the scenic back patio or indoors, Willowdale provides the perfect setting for any weather.

The estate’s spacious suites, bathed in natural light, offer an ideal environment for pre-ceremony preparations, featuring thoughtful touches like dedicated hooks for wedding attire. The outdoor tent is a versatile space that can be personalized to suit your style, whether it’s adorned with lanterns or set up with a band or DJ for a lively reception. Each wedding I photograph at Willowdale reveals more opportunity to create unique photographs in any season and really shows the venue's adaptability and beauty. For those seeking an photographer who has a wealth of experience at the Willowdale Estate please get in touch as I'd love to work together!
