Acadia Engagement Session: Hillary and Kevin

Welcome to “Hillary and Kevin Week” around here! We spent three glorious days with these two on the week of their wedding and this week we will share their engagement session, rehearsal dinner, and wedding all this week! Boom!

If you have been around here for a while, you already know just how much we adore Acadia so when Hillary and Kevin asked us on a planning phone call if we would be willing to pop up to Acadia for an engagement session last minute, we were ALL about it. It was one of those magic Acadia days where the temperature reminds you just how lucky you are to be in Maine on that day in that place at that moment. They had no plan for locations so we just bebopped all around to places Dan and I have wanted to photograph! Dream right?

Spending this time with them got us so so stoked for their wedding day obviously.

Acadia Elopement: Jesse and Wayne

Jesse and Wayne came up to beautiful Acadia for a teensy weensy elopement. It was so teeny that it was literally just the four of us. They had signed some paperwork at the courthouse a while before so we didn’t even need an officiant for their vows. Boom.

We met them in the parking lot of Sand Beach. Wayne changed in the car and Jesse in the park changing rooms. I helped her with her buttons and Dan photographed that while Wayne headed down to the water’s edge to wait. The simplicity of it all was beautiful to me.

They had a sweet first look then hopped up on a rock and told each other just how much they loved each other. After that, it was just photos till the sun was gone and then they drove all the way home to Rhode Island. Romance yall. Romance.

Northeast Harbor Maine Wedding: Hayley and Ryan

We have always said, and we will keep on saying it… Intimate Weddings are beyond wonderful. We. Love. Them! Hayley and Ryan’s tiny wedding in Northeast Harbor was just that. We met them at the Asticou Inn and then everyone headed up to the terraced gardens for the ceremony. It was so sweet to see how joyful the whole event was. Everyone was smiling and laughing and just thrilled that these two were getting married. Even their dog was over the moon.

After the ceremony, we walked through the gardens for portraits and made our way to cocktail hour and dinner. Before we knew it, the sun was setting and grabbed a few more portraits of them before the fire was lit for smores. A wonderful wedding indeed.

Acadia Elopement: Zaid and Wren

Zaid and Wren eloped earlier this summer with just us and officiant to make it official. We met them at their hotel room and grabbed a few getting ready images, then piled into their rental car to head up to the top of Cadillac Mountain.

One of the coolest details of their ceremony was that, rather than a wedding ring, Zaid gave Wren a wedding necklace. All their jewelry matched and was custom made for them. We love when we get to see something completely different and Zaid and Wren provided just that!

After the ceremony, we headed over to another spot in Acadia for some more rock crawling and ocean dipping. These two were down for anything, but the thing they were most down for, was when I suggested we got ice cream to celebrate.

Acadia Elopement: Meridith and Bill

I will always smile when I remember Meridith and Bill’s teensy weensy elopement in Acadia. This was a true elopement. No one knew, not even Bill’s 6-year-old daughter. It was a wonderful fun surprise.

After decorating the car, we all headed to meet Bill at the ceremony spot and what a spot it was. Take a look yall. I loved how they incorporated Bill’s daughter into the ceremony as well, with Meredith giving her very own vows as her new step-mom and a necklace to remember those promises. My heart right?

We spent the rest of the evening taking portraits throughout the park, us AND the little one. She had her very own disposable camera to document the day herself. I loved that. Our very own 6-year-old assistant! Everyone shared a chocolate cake on the beach and then we all headed back into town for a few final photos of the day. Pretty precious if you ask me.
