Weddings in the Mid Coast of Maine

“Our ceremony and reception were both at the Samoset Resort in Rockport, ME. Will and I had visited the Samoset for Will’s birthday the year before and both immediately fell in love with the beautiful setting. Plus, I had always wanted to get married by the ocean and Will wanted to be able to play golf, so the Samoset was the perfect fit.”

Kim and Joe had an intimate wedding at Rockland’s Samoset Resort in Maine’s midcoast, with their ceremony overlooking the harbor, and an elegant reception inside. Look for a rainbow at the end of the day, and a ceremony by the water.

  It doesn’t take more than a moment of looking at our blog to realize that the Samoset Resort in Rockland, Maine is one of our favorite wedding locations.  It’s casual at the same time as it’s elegant; it’s coastal but also a golf course; it has a killer pool and tent, but also several [...]

On Saturday, June 18th, the weather blessed Kim and Joe with a beautiful afternoon for their wedding on the coast of Maine.  Though it had stormed all morning, Kim really wanted her ceremony outdoors, and Will Clayton flipped a secret switch that the Samoset has that turned on the sunshine and produced a glorious summer [...]

Justin and Samantha were married at the Samoset Resort last fall, and we’re thrilled with their wedding album.  I hope you like it as much as we do. Here’s their original wedding gallery.  Thanks for looking – Will

The Samoset Resort in Rockland, ME, has been the site of many of our favorite weddings over the years, and Emily and Jeff’s was no exception.  A beautiful day, a great celebration, music by the Bob Charest Band – a perfect wedding all around.   I hope you enjoy their album.  If you’d like to [...]

  Some weddings are more like fairy tales than others, and Meaghan and Tyler’s wedding at Rockland’s Samoset Resort was pretty much out of a storybook.  A horse drawn carriage to bring Meaghan into the ceremony.  An outdoor ceremony overlooking the bay, with the water sparkling and the breakwater bustling.  And then into the main [...]

This was the first wedding of our summer season, and if Jeff and Emily’s wedding was any indication, this is going to be a great year for weddings. The ceremony was at the Congregational Church in Camden, and the reception was at the Samoset, and Will Clayton and his staff through a flawless party! Okay, let’s [...]

Wow, I am behind on the big posts, and this was a wedding I’ve been wanting to share.  Most of the time, I’ve met the bride and groom we work with several times before the wedding, but Sally and Scott live in Atlanta, and I first saw Scott on the altar (though our photographer Amanda [...]

  When Gerry Hill told Lucia and I that he was leaving the Samoset Resort to turn MBNA’s mountain retret Point Lookout into a wedding venue unlike anything else in Maine, we knew it would be spectacular, and now that we’ve seen it in action I can say, it’s even more amazing than I suspected. [...]

Once a year, a wedding astonishes me.  Meghan and Aaron’s wedding at the Samoset was so elaborate it blew my mind.  Let’s talk flowers – Minott’s provided the flowers here, and they were everywhere!  Uplighting, gobos, ice sculptures you name it – it was at Meghan and Aaron’s wedding.  But the most incredible thing of [...]

Destination weddings, like almost all of the weddings we shoot at the Samoset, can be bittersweet.  On the one hand, we get to work with whole families that have decided to go somewhere special for a wedding, and are making a very big deal out of their wedding.  This is a perfect match for us [...]

If you saw yesterday’s post, you might have caught this treat – we had two weddings on Memorial Day weekend, and they were both at the Samoset!  Sunday’s wedding was with Mark and Shaney.  We had worked with them both last fall on a Romantic shoot, so we knew how much fun they were, and had a [...]

Wow, let me tell you how awesome a day Eric and Erica’s wedding at the Samoset was for me (I know – you thought I’d talk about them, but I’m starting with me).  I had never met the bride or groom before – they live out-of-state, and our attempts to get together over the last [...]
