Acadia Elopement Photographer | Asticou Gardens | Northeast Harbor, Maine

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.

Marshall Point Lighthouse Family Photography | Port Clyde, Maine

This iconic location on the Maine coast has such a perfect backdrop for a family session! I love driving down the peninsula to this spot on warm summer days. The lighthouse, rocks, water, and view are all so beautiful! Thankfully, we had some great weather around sunset. Perhaps a little more windy and cool than you might expect on a June evening, but that’s Maine! The Winslow family was an absolute joy to work with and we had a lot of fun. Not to mention that adorable(and well behaved) pup!

As someone who had a golden retriever growing up as well, I’m so glad their pup was included and so willing to play along!

Probably one of my favorite family photos ever, with the puppy peering over the edge and looking at the camera along with everyone else!!!

With some of the more serious photos out of the way, it was time to goof off and have a little fun!

It never hurts to finish a session with a sun that has just set over the horizon for some perfect light! Also took the opportunity to make this silhouette!
