Jason + Shari | Rockland Breakwater Lighthouse Proposal | Maine Engagement Photography

There isn’t much that tops capturing one of the most pivotal moment in a persons life! I’ll cut through the suspense and tell you up front….SHE SAID YES! This weekend was all over the place weather wise, and Jason and I kept going back and forth making sure we could find a window to do this. Thankfully, everything went off without a hitch! This was such and exciting event, and I hope you enjoy sharing in it!

Jason’s plan was for Shari to see the wooden life ring he had made just for this occasion before popping the question! He had someone bring it out ahead of time, and with all of the crowds that day, he had to pause at times during the walk, trying to find the perfect window!

Needless to say, Shari answered with a very audible “YES!”. I was probably 30’ away, and it was very clear!

After the excitement of the moment calmed down(sort of), we proceeded to finish up the session with an impromptu engagement shoot on the breakwater. This is probably the easiest thing to do, while everyone is still on the “freshly engaged” high! These two were effortless to capture.

I had such a great time in my back and forth conversations with DC leading up to the wedding day, that I knew I’d love spending a couple of hours with these two. DC and Erin invited me to capture their intimate wedding in Acadia, which turned out to be gorgeous! The day that they had originally scheduled to tie the knot had turned out to a be a horribly rainy day, but thankfully, we were able to shift things around and move their big day to the next morning. I’m so glad that we did! In the end, they chose to be married at the Asticou Azalea Gardens in Southwest Harbor, which are absolutely stunning in June! If you’ve never been, it’s something I would highly recommend. I had a great morning with these two and am happy to share some of the images captured!

After spending some time in the gardens, we made our way to Jesup Path for a few more photos. The access to get there is found through the Wild Gardens Of Acadia, so if you find yourself confused when Google maps doesn’t seem to take you to this well known spot, that is why! The wooden walking path through the woods is a great spot.
