Scott + Claire | Migis Lodge Wedding | Sebago Lake Photographer

It’s hard to think of a more beautiful place to have your wedding than on a lake in Maine as the leaves change. Migis Lodge on Sebago Lake is a one of a kind place that holds an extra special place in Claire’s heart as she has been visiting here every year since she was born. As her sister mentioned, she wouldn’t have dared have her own wedding there, because this was Claire’s favorite place on earth. Now that place is extra special for both Claire and Scott. I had such a great time wandering the grounds with them a few months before for their engagement shoot, so it came as no suprise that this was a fantastic day. Not to mention, could you have asked for a more perfect day out?! Absolutely not. I’m excited to share these photos from their perfect day, and hope that you enjoy reliving it as well!

Getting Ready

Nestled throughout the woods of Migis are these cozy little cottages and this is where the soon to be newly weds were getting ready for the day ahead. Without opting for traditional wedding parties, they enjoyed the company of friends who would filter in and out throughout the morning. What a relaxing way to start off your wedding day!

After some emotional first looks with her family, it was time to take a trip down the path for Scott and Claire’s first look together, followed by the Ketuba signing.

Ceremony

After some family formals, it was time for Claire to board the Tykona II that would take her to the ceremony site along the waterfront! What a cool way to make an entrance.

After the ceremony, Scott and Claire escaped onto the boat for a private ride around Sebago Lake. What a wonderful way to steal a few private minutes on your wedding day!

After the dances, it was time for the speeches! One thing we learned was that back in the day, Scott and his brother could polish off 3 pizza’s on their own. Impressive haha!

We snuck out for one last portrait since the stars had aligned perfectly!
