Engagement

Photos from a surprise mountain top proposal in Acadia National Park. Beautiful secret spot in Maine on Mount Desert Island.

When Ben reached out to us to photograph his Acadia proposal, he confided that he and his soon-to-be-fiancee, Alyssa, had never been north of Portland on any of their trips to Maine. Never having visited the park, he was eager for some help in the planning process and we were more than a little excited

We met Isabelle & Noah in Acadia on their 2nd wedding anniversary, and photographed them at sunrise, rock climbing on Otter Cliffs. But as is sometimes the case with the island, as a result of thick fog the sun was blocked out until late morning. So we were excited for the second chance to wake up in the dark with them, down a few cups of coffee, and head in to the park for an adventure filled Acadia sunrise photo session!

Mount Desert Island (MDI) summers are full of magic! Meghan & Ben seemed more than happy to prove this right during an epic Acadia sunset sailing photography session. Our time with them meandering Southwest Harbor on a Friendship Sloop was beyond words.

Our list of the best Acadia National Park proposal locations isn’t one you will find in a guide book. And it’s probably not one you could get by asking a Park Ranger, or even the bartender at Side Street Cafe. Christian found this out quickly. He called looking for photographers for the surprise sunrise proposal he was planning.

If you’ve spent more than a few minutes with us, then chances are you know that Acadia is our favorite place on earth. So when a couple asks us about Acadia National Park engagement pictures, we’re picking up our cameras before they finish the sentence.

Even on an overcast day Katie and Mike rocked this NH Seacoast engagement session! They live in Portsmouth with their two pups Barrett and Stella. Odiorne Point in Rye is their go-to place for dog walks, but today they left the furballs at home and had the ocean front park all to themselves!

Many believe the path to love is the greatest adventure. Isabelle and Noah totally prove that the wedding is only just the beginning! Married two years ago, they were in Bar Harbor for a friend’s wedding. With each friend who gets married outside of their New York City home base they create a mini-vacation. Filling extra time with outdoor activity, sight seeing, road tripping, and good eats. So they were happy to fill a short notice vacancy for our Acadia engagement photos session.

The weather was almost as awesome as our couple for this Lanikai Beach Engagement session. Kat and Joe came to Oahu from South Carolina by way of the Navy. Ever seen Hunt for Red October? You’re gonna LOVE this story then! Joe is a submariner working on a Virginia class submarine stationed out of Pearl Harbor.

Washington DC, home of US politics, cherry blossoms and Kate & Keith’s annual April whirlwind tour! Exactly one year ago we roadtripped it down for Josh and Thea’s Jefferson Memorial wedding. This year became our past and current client extravaganza!

We had a blast with this Kualoa Beach Park Engagement session! Langdon and John have a story almost as beautiful as their love. John is military and deployed in 2010 to the Phillippines where he met Langdon (working for the US Pacific Command.) By mid May of 2011, after posts in between, they found themselves both on Oahu. Fate was smiling on them and it only took one weekend for their friendship to develop into love.

Who says you can’t keep marrying the man of your dreams? While on their one year anniversary trip to Oahu, Connie contacted me to do a Kailua Hawaii engagement session. A hop skip and a jump from the Bay Area, we finally had a break in the rain for some fun on the beach!
