Princeton, NJ Wedding Photographer & Filmmaker

Coastal estates, historic ballrooms, and four true seasons — Princeton sets a formal stage and we love it.

Photographing weddings in Princeton

From harbor light to foliage season, Princeton weddings carry a classic register — historic venues, formal timelines, family traditions. We know how to run an efficient formals session and still disappear into the candid moments.

Elizabeth Scott is a national studio: senior photographers and filmmakers, travel already included, and a calendar kept deliberately small so every wedding gets a first-team crew. If we haven’t worked your exact venue yet, we scout it before your day — light, timing, logistics — so nothing about Princeton surprises us on the morning of.

The light in Princeton

Ceremony time decides how your photographs look, and the answer is different in Princeton than it is three states over. In June the sun sets here at 8:30 PM and golden hour opens around 7:49 PM; by October sunset has slid back to 6:18 PM — a swing of 2 hours 12 minutes across one wedding season. Start a Princeton ceremony at roughly the times below and you will finish vows, family formals, and portraits with the good light still in front of you rather than behind you.

Where couples marry in Princeton

These are the Princeton venues couples ask us about most. We have not shot every one of them — nobody has — so when a venue is new to us we scout it before your date: light through the ceremony hour, where formals hold up, how long the walk from getting-ready to first look actually takes.
