Some of my favorite locations to photograph engagement sessions are Portland Head Light, Biddeford Pool, Fortunes Rock, Mackworth Island, Broadturn Farm and those are just the southern Maine spots! Personal props generally have special significance or reflect your lives together, like a vintage car or Vespa scooter. They are best if they are supporting an action (picnic basket, coffee, or a game) the act of movement and doing things with the props makes engagement sessions so much more romantic and real. You can suit up for some spring skiing (so you don’t have to wear as many clothes) and get photos all over the mountains in Maine.

Everything you need to know about getting married in Maine First of all, let’s talk value! Ideally, if your wedding ceremony and reception are not in the same location you would consider renting a bus or a trolley for your wedding guests. so you want to be sure that you can accommodate all of your guests and that you let them know to book early.

Pro note: I generally shoot from the window into the room—and clear the space around the front and the left side of the bed for the best place and light to put the gown on and shoot photos. The only thing I wish they would do is to paint the walls a nice neutral color because the green cast of the walls makes for green colored skin tones and green color casts in the photos. The Inn on Peaks Island is wonderful for a couple who is watching their photography budget and did not include a second photographer because the bridal party can get ready in one of the other beautiful suites such as the Chebeague or the Cliff island Suites that offer the balcony has a beautiful bay view, cathedral ceiling, private bathroom with Jacuzzi bathtub and additional living room space. I have been all over New England in the last 10 years as a wedding photographer and I can say for sure that the Inn on Peaks Island has some of the most professional, hardworking, accommodating and incredible staff in the wedding industry.

Your hair and makeup are in every photo of you on your wedding day. Trust your wedding photographer will ask you to do things that make for great natural looking photos. Choose a dress that emphasizes your best features and one that covers things you do not like. The very best way to nail your wedding photos is too not over think it.
