As the summer looms… a look back at a beautiful winter memory.

Have you thought about capturing your wedding partially on film? 🎞️

The results are hard to predict, but often pay us back in spades. Which film stock we use, which combination of camera, lens and lighting provides more variance than you might realize. It all part of the fun offering together 🤙📸🎞️

2025 held some awesome and memorable days - and just over a week out from wedding #1 of 2026, I’m expecting nothing less 😎🎉👏

Among the top memories from an amazing 2025 wedding season was Jenna & Tom’s beautiful Acadia wedding, on the stern of a ferry boat with Egg Rock Lighthouse in the background. Truly stunning!

Golden September light has a way of slowing everything down in Maine. At East Point Sanctuary in Biddeford Pool, it wrapped Mary and Sammy in that soft, honey-colored glow that only early fall seems to deliver—quiet paths, salt air, and the kind of calm that makes you forget there’s a camera anywhere nearby.

This session felt less like photos and more like a walk together at the edge of the season, with laughter drifting on the breeze and the sun sinking low over the water. Maine does this best: understated, honest, and effortlessly beautiful.

Kathryn and Tyler were married among the fall colors of Acadia—granite cliffs, coastal air, and a day that felt calm, intentional, and deeply their own. A quiet celebration shaped by place, season, and connection. 🍁

Tressa and Derek’s engagement session at Vaughan Woods State Park was pure magic 🍂✨ The unbeatable fall colors set the perfect backdrop for their laughter, warmth, and love. Their joy was contagious — a beautiful reminder of why I love documenting stories like theirs. ❤️

Julia and Pat’s garden party celebration at the beautiful Wandby Landing was pure magic — timeless details, incredible vendors, and the most radiant couple.
Every corner felt alive with laughter, color, and the kind of love that lingers long after the night ends.
A day I won’t soon forget. 🌿🤍

Amy + Jeff’s micro-wedding on the rocky coast of Acadia this October was one of those rare moments where, by complete fluke, a past life made its way to the present day. Nearly twenty years after our lives first brushed past each other, I found myself standing with them in salt air and peak foliage while they spoke vows that felt exactly right for who they are — steady, warm, generous people who make everyone around them feel at home.

A tiny wedding in a wild place has a way of bringing personalities to the forefront, and these are two great ones.
