As a coastal Maine engagement photographer, I am always drawn to the charm and tranquility of the seaside. In the picturesque coastal landscape of Maine, where rugged cliffs meet the whispering waves of the Atlantic, love finds its perfect backdrop.

Recently, I had the pleasure of photographing an enchanting engagement session near a quaint dock, where boats swayed gently in the salty breeze, and champagne corks popped in celebration of a beautiful couple’s love story.

The Perfect Coastal Canvas

The couple was just visiting Chris’ hometown of Sorrento (from Virginia!), they chose the perfect evening and location to capture the true essence of their engagement. Our location for the engagement session was a dock nestled in a secluded cove. The most perfect weather—a clear blue sky stretched overhead, and the sun dipped low, casting a golden hue over everything it touched.

Champagne Dreams and Doggie Delights

They brought their furry companions, two adorable dogs who were just as eager to be a part of the festivities. As we strolled along the dock, the dogs scampered ahead, their tails wagging with joy.

We paused near a cluster of boats, the salty scent of the sea mingling with the sweet aroma of champagne. The bubbly liquid danced in the sunlight, a sparkling tribute to their love.

Capturing The True Beauty

As a photographer, my goal is always to capture the raw emotion and genuine connection between couples. A great way to achieve this is by including some of your favorite things in your session. That could be an activity, your fur babies, or a celebratory drink! You can see how these photos helped make all of that come together perfectly to tell the story of their love and the evening we spent together.

If your dog couldn’t attend your wedding, bring them along on your honeymoon (or mini-moon) to include them in some photos!

Why?! Because if your pup feels like your best friend / first born child, you’re likely going to be bumming that they couldn’t be in any of your wedding photos. Bringing your dog on your honeymoon and including them in a photo session can be a wonderful way to create lasting memories. Many couples consider their pets to be part of the family, so involving them in such special moments will add an extra layer of joy and significance to kicking off this new chapter together

Your honeymoon is a unique and cherished moment in your life, marking the beginning of your journey as a married couple. Including your beloved dog in a photo session during this time allows you to capture memories that you can cherish forever. These photos will serve as a beautiful reminder of the joy and love you shared with your pet during this special time.

Just make sure to plan accordingly, ensuring that your chosen destination is pet-friendly and that your furry friend will be comfortable and safe throughout the trip. Acadia National Park allows dogs in their slower months. You can info about visiting Acadia with a pet on their website.

I travel all over the country for honeymoon sessions (with or without dogs), and offer them in the Bar Harbor, Maine area as well. Get inspired with these photos of Jax and his humans in Acadia National Park!
