Rockland Maine Wedding: George and Bryson

When you grew up overlooking Rockland Harbor, there really is no other place to get married. George and Bryson said their vows to one another on her parent’s lawn, overlooking a view she had seen ever since she was a little girl. This time though, it took on a whole new meaning as the place she and George became husband and wife!

Her parents own a boatyard and they cleared a space among the boat stands and sails for a wedding tent. All their family and friends came up to Rockland for the party and showered them with well wishes, hugs, and kisses. I’ll always remember just how much fun it seemed everyone was having, laughing and playing lawn games and dancing like it was the end of time. A happy day indeed.

Brooksville Maine Wedding: Becky and Matt

Becky and Matt were married on family land in Brooksville Maine, overlooking the Eggemoggin Reach on the Penobscot. There were friends camping out, cabins to get ready in, and water all around. Matt spent a CHUNK of time leading up to his wedding, clearing a path and a clearing in the woods for his wedding ceremony, to marry his bride. The iconic romance of this is hard to beat.

They had their first look as he drove up on the boat they got engaged on, and then we headed across the water to the ceremony site. Family and friends surrounded the couple among the tall trees and soft ground. It was a pretty dang magical spot and moment if you ask me. Afterwards, we headed back to the tent for lobster, cooked on site with water from the ocean. Again… pretty dang magical.

One thing I loved witnessing throughout the day, was just how much Becky and Matt not only love one another but how much they themselves are loved by the people in attendance. The things said about both during the toasts were so kind and we wish we knew them both better ourselves judging on that alone! What a great wedding you guys… so good.

French’s Point Maine Wedding: Ashleigh and Josh

When I think of Ashleigh and Josh’s French’s Point Maine Wedding, I think of Tuxedo’s, Pit Bulls, Two Wedding Dresses, Cocktails, and a cotton candy sunset. O and one of the best parties we have ever photographed. That too…

The both got ready on-site, alongside their besties, families, and puppies. After a couple of shots of whiskey (for both of them) they had the ceremony, with music from the Lion King to boot! Ashleigh was born in South Africa, where her parents are from so there were a couple of great African touches throughout the evening. After the ceremony we all headed to the beautiful tent, hearing touching speeches for the couple. At sunset, we hiked down to the water and witnessed a cotton candy sunset. When you see the photos you see what I mean here. IT WAS SO PRETTY OMG!

The night finished off with some of the happiest bounciest jumpiest laughing-est dancing we have ever seen. Well never forget it.

Point Lookout, Northport Maine Wedding: Christine and Mitch

These two…

Christine and Mitch have that kind of electric love. You know those people that just radiate it? These are those people. We like that.

Overlooking the Penobscot Bay, these two said “I DO,” and become a married couple! Just see how happy Mitch was in some of these ceremony photos. It was such a gorgeous backdrop but even so, they stole the show with their words, tears, laughs, and cheers. Next, we all headed to the reception where he scooped her up and over his shoulder for their grand entrance. To say they were stoked to be married is definitely an understatement. After the reception, they had an after-party at the resorts bowling alley where there was arcade games, music, macaroni and cheese, and pizza. Yes please! I’m so glad we were a party of their wedding and got to know them even just a little bit. Here’s to our future double-dates you guys!

Bar Harbor Elopement: Michelle and Skyler

Elopements you guys…. SO GOOD!

Michelle and Skyler decided to have a private ceremony, as they termed it, “a wedding for two.” As they mentioned in their “Meet Our Couples” blog post, “Bar Harbor seemed like the perfect spot, since Sky grew up near and loves the Ocean, and Michelle has fallen in love with the rocky coast/scenic views. It is far enough from home that it makes a nice getaway trip for an elopement/honeymoon, but close enough that we could revisit it and relive our wedding for years to come.” I mean… you can’t argue with that logic. I love that they are already planning on revisits to celebrate again and again.

They had their ceremony on the lawn of the Bar Harbor Inn and Spa, with us and the officiant as the only witnesses. After making things official, we piled into the car and headed into Acadia for portraits of the two of them. It was their first time seeing the National Park so it was so fun to show it off to new eyes! Every single place we were, Michelle heard compliments on her dress, which was fun. I think it might just be the most complimented dress we have ever photographed. #winning

We love the laid back feel that elopements provide and Michelle and Skyler’s wedding was just that… relaxed, romantic, and all about love.
