Wedding at The 1774 Inn // Mary & Andrew

I am definitely partial to elopements these days, but Mary & Andrew's wedding was the perfect example of the type of "traditional" wedding I still love to photograph. They were classy, yet laid-back, and valued having good food, good design, and a great time with their friends and family above all. They planned an awesome day, were flexible when it rained, and were so easy and fun to work with! These were my favorite aspects of their day:

Andrew's green suit

The cardboard cutout of their dog

The food station dinner setup (and those tacos!)

The back of Mary's dressss

And the little ring bearer who stole everyone's heart

P.S. I should have been doing this all along, but I've included a list of their vendors at the bottom. Finally! 

Venue: The 1774 Inn

Acadia National Park Elopement // Bridget & Jeremey

Bridget and Jeremey traveled to Maine to share their vows in the forest of Acadia National Park. They saw a deer, had a picnic on a quiet beach, and affirmed (like all adventurous, eloping couples do) that I have the best job ever. 

Looking forward to photographing many more elopements in Acadia, especially if it's anything like capturing these two!

Acadia National Park Elopement // Hannah & Kael

Hannah and Kael were blessed with a beautifully foggy, romantically rainy day in Acadia recently, and I was so fortunate to tag along and photograph it for them. The afternoon began with their ceremony at Sand Beach, and then we drove along the coast, hopping out here and there to take photos at spots that caught our eyes, and ending at the lovely Jordan Pond. 

There really is nothing so magical as an elopement in Acadia National Park! 

Maine Elopement Photographer // Cai & Jeremy

Working for another photographer is always such an honor, and even though Cai and Jeremy were getting married outside of Maine, I could not resist the invite to photograph their sweet occasion in Hingham, MA earlier this month. 

Their ceremony was at the Old Ship Church, the oldest church building in continuous use in the United States, which is cool on its own but more meaningful because Cai and Jeremy are part of that congregation. They got ready with their son in the parish house. And then we explored World’s End before sunset. It was a beautifully simple, movingly meaningful day. 

Camp O-At-Ka Wedding // Jess & Mark

Jessica and Mark, you phenomenal, fun, absolutely wonderful humans - thank you for inviting me to photograph your special day! It was a huge pleasure to hang out with your family and friends on Sebago Lake on such a gorgeous spring day in Maine!

Acadia National Park Elopement // Ellie & Colin

If I could shoot elopements in Acadia National Park every weekend, I would. Couples deciding to get married in Acadia's wild landscape are definitely my kinda people, and these two are no exception!

Ellie and Colin fell in love during art school and now live in Detroit with their three pups. All five of them drove out to Maine to tie the knot and explore somewhere they'd never been. And I was lucky enough to tag along. 

Stone Mountain Arts Center Wedding // Alaina & Andrew

When two incredible, fun-loving, sweet-spirited folks get married in a magical, cozy music venue in the middle of nowhere, AND the first snow of the season just happens to fall during their December ceremony, it looks something like this.

Huge thanks to Malorrie Nadeau for second shooting with me!

And gorgeous florals by Moonset Farm. 

Acadia National Park Wedding // Brianna & River

It's official - my favorite place and time to shoot is Acadia in the fall. Chilly days make for a much quieter park, and the colorful foliage is just to die for. When Brianna & River hired me to photograph their Bar Harbor wedding last October, I was fortunate enough to convince them to explore Acadia with me the next day. I think my heart would have broken if they'd declined!

These two were so gorgeous and glamorous, but still so willing to explore, sit down in the woods, let their hair down, and just have a fun time together. They were definitely more into posing than my usual couples, and that made for some amazingly lovely images that I would never have gotten otherwise! The poses weren't even my idea - I just went with it, while these two, the Acadia morning light, and that deliciously fresh autumn air made these some truly unforgettable moments together.

You really can't go wrong exploring Acadia National Park, guys. Thinking of eloping there? Contact me and we'll plan something amazing! <3

Acadia National Park Elopement // Brianna & Troy

Brianna & Troy's elopement in Acadia National Park was one of the sweetest ceremonies I've witnessed. And their Wendell Berry reading had me in tears (I'm such a sucker for that poet/farmer/sage). 

If you're considering eloping and forgoing the craziness and expense of the average wedding celebration, their sweet Acadia adventure will convince you that simple, intimate, and close to nature is the way to go.

Maine Summer Camp Wedding // Annie & Matt

Annie & Matt's laid-back summer camp wedding should make every couple want to head to the woods for a fun, DIY celebration. My favorite parts of their day:

Their simple, thoughtful Buddhist ceremony

The amazing vegetarian food by Concord Coop

Awesome live music by their friends Citrusphere

Annie & her bridesmaids singing Spice Girls at the reception!

Overlook at the Point Wedding // Courtney & Robert

More than any wedding I've photographed, this one at Overlook at the Point in Georgetown, Maine reminded me of my own. So I might be a bit partial to these two. ;)

Courtney wore a green dress, they had an untraditional ceremony (no walking up the aisle), and their reception was relaxed and simple - no dancing or craziness, just hanging out and eating great vegetarian food with their family and friends. Exactly like mine and Kurtis' wedding!

I really appreciate when couples do things their own way, and I'm proud of Courtney and Robert for really making this day at Overlook at the Point their very own.

Venue: Overlook at the Point

Glen Magna Farms Wedding // Victoria & Chris

This was such a beautiful June day with the smiliest bride at an amazing venue. While I'm trying to photograph weddings more in Maine these days, I just couldn't say no to working with Victoria and Chris at Glen Magna Farms. Scroll through these photos and you'll see why! Everything about their wedding was super classy and gorgeous and just full of joy.
