Nantucket /ˌnænˈtʌkɪt/ is a small island about 30 miles from the south of Cape Cod. The earliest English settlement began on the neighboring island of Martha’s Vineyard.
In the past, Nantucket became the Whaling Capital of the World. Can you imagine that?
Let’s talk about the trip. Travel to Nantucket is easy, especially if you are an early bird; plan your trip and book the Ferry tickets a few weeks before your vacation. You can travel from two major locations – The WoodHole and Hyannis.
As for the tickets, honestly, it depends – sometimes, you can find tickets 1-2 days before the trip. We were traveling by car from Hyannis, which is more expensive on the one hand. Still, from another allows us to visit more places during the day and save money on rentals, as we purchased the tickets a few days before the trip, we missed the opportunity to stay on the isle until the sunset and traveled back at 5:30 pm.
As a wedding and family photographer, I discovered many new spots for taking pictures and enjoyed iconic places and views of Nantucket. Below I want to shot a few photos with the comments.
The trip took about 2 hours +. The morning was calm and cleared up to the end of the journey, it became foggy, and I captured a lot of atmospheric photos.
Nantucket Harbor uppers so quickly, boats were sailing, luxury yachts and the famous Brand Point Lighthouse were in the same place. Please open the Nantucket photography prints gallery to see more.
As a Cape Cod and Nantucket wedding photographer, I can’t miss the opportunity to mention two iconic places for the wedding – the popular wedding venues.
The first one is in the photo below – White Elephant Hotel. The site is especially famous for making elopements in 2020. There is a lawn with a harbor view for the ceremony and the Lighthouse is nearby to take some romantic photos.
Let’s move to Siasconset, the small tiny village with rose gardens on the rooftops and backyards. Btw hydrangeas are still blossomed, too.
The waves on the beach an incredibly strong, especially compared with Cape Cod. The beach reminds me of the Indian ocean resorts.
Sankaty Head Gold Club is one of the most prestigious places for the wedding on Nantucket. In the previous year, I had the privilege of working there at the wedding.
And, of course, the Sankaty Head Light photo – a must-visit and see on the Island. At night, you can see it from the wedding tent of the Sankaty Head Gold Club.
And at the end – the closeup of Brant Point Lighthouse.
We were capturing an incredible light in the ocean on our way back.
Based on my experience, 1-2 dates are more than enough to explore the Island. You can rent a car or bicycle to enjoy the landscapes even more.
