If you’re planning a Maine wedding that feels timeless, intimate, and deeply connected to nature, Migis Lodge is one of the most special places you can choose. Tucked into towering white pines along the shoreline of Sebago Lake, Migis Lodge offers a rare blend of upscale comfort and relaxed lakeside charm — and from a photographer’s perspective, it’s an exceptional venue in every season it hosts weddings.

As a Maine wedding photographer, Migis Lodge is one of those venues where the day unfolds naturally, the light is consistently beautiful, and every part of the property feels intentional.

If you’re dreaming of an intimate wedding surrounded by rugged coastline, granite peaks, and quiet forest paths, Acadia National Park is one of the most beautiful elopement locations in the United States. As an Acadia elopement photographer who has spent years exploring and photographing weddings throughout the park, I’ve had the opportunity to experience many of these locations in every type of light and weather imaginable.

This guide shares my favorite places to photograph elopements in Acadia National Park, along with a few locations that are high on my personal wish list. Whether you’re planning a sunrise ceremony, a cliffside vow exchange, or a peaceful, off-the-beaten-path elopement, this post will help you choose a location that fits your vision.

If you’re planning a wedding in Maine and searching for a venue that feels relaxed, scenic, and genuinely welcoming, Flanagan Farm in Buxton, Maine is one of the best wedding venues in the state — and one of my personal favorites to photograph.

As a Maine wedding photographer, I’ve photographed multiple weddings at Flanagan Farm over the years. Every time I return, I’m reminded why couples love getting married here: the peaceful setting, the beautiful barn, the thoughtfully designed ceremony location, and the incredible golden hour light in the field out back.

If you’re dreaming of a wedding day that feels timeless, natural, and deeply connected to the Maine landscape, Cunningham Farm is one of the most beautiful places you can choose. With its open fields, historic charm, and peaceful rural setting, Cunningham Farm offers couples a wedding experience that feels both elegant and grounded—never overproduced, never rushed.

As a Maine wedding photographer who specializes in natural, story-driven celebrations, Cunningham Farm is one of those venues that consistently delivers meaningful moments and stunning imagery from start to finish.

When Shana and Brooks, natives of New York City, reached out to me about their wedding photography at Brick South in Portland, Maine… there was no way I was going to say no. It is a somewhat of a change from the woods and mountains and barn weddings that I usually photograph, but Brick South is a stunning venue and Shana and Brooks had an awesome vision for their wedding day.

Sometimes the stars align for weddings. For Lauren and Brett, this was definitely the case. As a wedding photographer, I couldn’t ask for a more laid back, adventurous and easy going couple to work with. They chose to get married at William Allen Farm on Columbus day weekend and nature showed up with a dazzling display of reds yellows and oranges. Fall foliage in Maine was on full display.

Fall is the best time of year to get married in Maine. The weather is cool, the leaves are vibrant and the cider is tasty. It is therefore no suprise that I was very excited and humbled when I was asked to be Natalie and Russ' wedding photographer at Mountain House on Sunday River last October

I had the pleasure of photographing Emily and Mike's island wedding on a gorgeous day in September. The weather was stunning. The food was excellent. The donuts were fresh!

Jessica's family has owned a house on Chebeague Island, in Maine's Casco bay, for several generations. It was an obvious and intimate place to celebrate her love for Patrick with family and friends. Thanks Jessica and Patrick for choosing me to be your wedding photographer!
