Heather Bates Photography

Heather Bates Photography is a wedding photographer based in Whitinsville, Massachusetts, serving couples throughout New England and beyond. Since opening her studio in 2011, Heather has traveled across the country documenting weddings with a focus on authentic storytelling and timeless imagery. Her approach centers on capturing both formal moments and candid in-between details, from the stitching on a suit to the way couples naturally hold hands. Heather's journey into photography began in 2010 when she pivoted from a law degree to attend photography school, discovering her true calling on the first day. She filmed her first wedding in 2011 and has been working with couples ever since. Her style aims to craft wedding galleries that couples will be proud to share with future generations, emphasizing effortless elegance and genuine emotion. Heather offers four package options ranging from five to eight hours of coverage. Each collection includes a custom timeline, online gallery of high-resolution images, a 16x20 gallery print, and a 72-hour sneak peek turnaround. She works year-round in all seasons and weather conditions, whether couples are planning a beach ceremony, mountain adventure, or traditional venue celebration.
