Lupine Proposals on Mount Desert Island

Why Lupine Season Is Perfect for Surprise Proposals on Mount Desert Island Late May through early June is one of our favorite seasons for surprise proposals on Mount Desert Island near Acadia National Park. That’s when Maine’s lupine fields burst into bloom. Magical purple, pink, and white flowers that briefly transform the landscape before summer

Foliage Proposal in Acadia

Fall foliage season in Acadia is by far our busiest time of year. Being an island, we can select certain spots that come into peak sooner and later, giving a wide range of opportunities. Most couple want a foliage proposal in Acadia to have both water and trees. This is a bit tricky (though not

Acadia Surprise Fall Engagement

Jon’s Acadia surprise fall engagement took place on the busiest weekend in October. It’s when the leaves are at peak, cruise boats are parked in the harbor, and thousands gather for the marathon. That didn’t stop us from finding perfectly secluded spots. Both fitting the bill in being iconic ANP vibes. One for an Acadia

September Acadia Surprise Engagement Session

This is how you pull off a September Acadia Surprise Engagement Session, a la Kate & Keith! Because when you’re “from away”, it’s nice to have a little help. Jack reached out to us looking for an Acadia engagement photo photographer. Never having visited Mount Desert Island, he was feeling overwhelmed by options. Making him

Acadia Fall Foliage Engagement Session

Michael and Tyler knew how to adventure! From Philadelphia, they arrived in Bar Harbor looking to make the most of peak foliage. Since this wasn’t a proposal, we had a bit more flexibility. So, we kept an eye on the trees, and adjusted the location as necessary. Landing us in the middle of yellows, oranges

A Secret Surprise Proposal in Acadia

This was a first for us! After more than a decade of photographing proposals in Acadia National Park, we had a request for doing it without the proposee knowing. A doubly secret surprise proposal in Acadia. Meaning, we would have zero contact with the couple. A ton of the fun we have as Acadia proposal

Acadia Proposal Turned Engagement Session

Sometimes proposals don’t go quite as planned. In some cases, the perfect moment presents itself earlier than planned. Or in one case, the proposee accidentally stumbles upon the ring. Whatever the case, an Acadia proposal session can easily morph into an Acadia engagement session. With Caitlin and Nate, we were just excited for the timing.

Surprise Proposal on Cadillac Mountain

It’s very possible that a surprise proposal on Cadillac Mountain is a daily occurrence in peak season. As the first place to see the sunrise (seasonally), it’s a special location and promises epic views. Of course, there’s a rather large down side. You will most definitely not be alone! So, it’s rare we photograph proposals

Photo Tour of Acadia

We love blocking out a few hours and hitting up some of Acadia’s most photogenic locations with couples. During the height of the season, it’s key to have a designated driver. Meaning we don’t have to worry about parking eating up precious golden light time. And with our knowledge of the park, we have a

Acadia Proposal In Rain – Plan B

We pride ourselves as being the best Acadia proposal photographers because of our knowledge of the island (we are locals!) Knowing great Plan B options for any weather is part of what sets us apart. Often that might involve using private land (we know a few people!) However, after years of photographing surprise proposals in

Acadia National Park Elopement

Erin & Miguel’s life stories read like world class resumes. Although for both, it’s hard to tell whether they are renowned scientists or elite outdoors athletes. They’re both! And their Acadia National Park wedding was the perfect setting to capture their diversity.
