I had a lovely time from our first conversation speaking with the bride about her elopement plans, and was so looking forward to this day! They met by chance in their apartment complex where they both live. After connecting, they were just friends and not looking for anything more, but that quickly changed. A few years later and here they were having a intimate wedding in downtown Portland, Maine. Two of their good friends joined them for the trip to celebrate and act as their witnesses as well! While the day turned out rainy, that didn’t even remotely spoil the joy, or the photos! The Samuel Wilde Memorial Chapel is a beautiful little location that served as the perfect backdrop for some amazing photo opportunities! I hope you enjoy these photos as much as I enjoyed capturing them!

Not to my surprise, Kathleen walked into the chapel for the first time absolutely beaming and excited!
It’s rare that I both have so much time to get creative with portraits and am stuck inside due to the weather. I love all of the more creative and classic looking portraits we captured in the amazing place!
After finishing up at the chapel, we headed downtown to Blyth & Burrows for some final shots and I enthusiastically joined them in celebrating for a bit with an always exceptional glass of Lagavulin!
Thank you!
