Stories, tips, and, advice from our adventures.
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
Read MoreNick reached out to us to help him plan a secret proposal in Acadia. He had already lined up a trip for Taylor and himself over Labor Day Weekend in Bar Harbor.
Read MoreSteven reached out to us about his surprise proposal in Acadia after learning that he’d be speaking at a conference hosted by the Friends of the Pleistocene (an irrelevant detail, but one we just thought was too cool to leave out! I mean- this is the era of the wooly mammoth!).

Read MoreWhen 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
Read MoreWe really, really love Acadia (it’s where we got engaged AND married, after all!), and we find it impossibly hard to resist any couple who has folded this special place into their own wedding story! Whether it’s Maine’s famous rocky coast or a woodsy proposal tucked into one of the park’s birch groves, we get really excited to start cooking up a plan that is as unique as the couple we’re working with.
Read MoreWe 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!
Read MoreFinding a private proposal spot in Acadia National Park can be a real challenge. For years this spot was our family sunset location. We would scoot up here after dinner, armed with fleecy layers and flashlight, for the show. The beauty is that we always have this spot to ourselves. For decades. We’ve seen evenings where the water is completely still and reflecting orange and red. And we’ve seen stormy seas with skies moodier than our worst hangry moments.
Read MoreMount 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.
Read MoreOur 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.
Read MoreMany 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.
