Oceanfront Weddings

“Tim and I met in September of 2007 through mutual friends at a bar in Portsmouth. He has always described meeting me as a “breath of fresh air” and I know exactly what he means, as I felt just the same way about him. We never struggled with awkward conversation. Even when we first met, [...]

“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.”

It’s hard to imagine a better place for a Maine wedding than at the fishermen’s huts at Willard Beach.  Casco bay and all it’s islands surrounds you, and the view is just tremendous.  This is what Jon and Amanda wanted their family to experience when they came to Maine, and it would have been impossible [...]

Oh what a fabulous day for Kristen and Bill!  Two of the nicest people you will ever meet – Kristen and Bill brought about twenty of their closest friends up from Pennsylvania to enjoy a Coastal Wedding with a Sea Coast flare – complete with huge lobsters for the entire bunch!    

    For Nicole and Keith, who live in Las Vegas, a beach-side ceremony was their true dream for their Wedding Ceremony.  So on a lovely summer day, together with their immediate families, they tied the knot while the sun was setting over the Atlantic.  They shared a wonderful day full of laughter and love. As wedding [...]

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 [...]

On a perfect summer day at the beach in York, Barbara and Doug and all their family celebrated their marriage at the Stageneck Inn.  The Stageneck is right on the water, and even during the ceremony guests are looking out to sea.  Look at the view that Barbara has while she’s getting her hair done.  [...]

The Cliff House in Ogunquit, Maine is a jewel of a hotel on the side of the most dramatic cliffs in New England. Two hundred feet over the Atlantic Ocean is a patio just big enough to seat a hundred of your closest friends, should you want a wedding with an Ocean view, the sound of [...]

 Already this year, we’ve shot some amazing weddings, but on May 2nd, we had the most incredible wedding at the Nonantum. Christa Stetson and Greg Silva, both of whom work in the wedding and hospitality business at the York Harbor Inn, had a gorgeous wedding at the Nonantum. The weather was beautiful, warm, and sunny; [...]

My favorite images from Aruba! Okay, so Amy and Matt are awesome, and anyone who went to their wedding was treated to an amazing time.  Sure, there isn’t a picture of me going off the rope swing on the booze cruise, and there’s a ton of great shots of their families and friends that didn’t [...]

  That’s right – the entire bridal party arrived at the wedding by boat!  FYI, our associate photographer Chet took this shot – I was on the boat with the bride and groom.  We had a great time, and the Nonantum staff made sure the day was perfect.  I hope you like the images – [...]

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 [...]

I’ve known Victoria’s parents, Jeff and Lisa, for a couple of years now, since we photographed their other daughter Gabby for her senior portrait. Their warmth and hospitality should have led me to expect a gracious and sweet family, but I’ve got to say, the Kempton and St. Louis clans must be the nicest people [...]
