Seacoast Wedding in Kittery Point, Maine

 
 

Katherine and Lauren reached out to me a few months prior to their September day about their Seacoast wedding at a rental in Kittery, Maine and I was thrilled I had their date open. 

Calm, present, nature, light, and warmth

These were the words Katherine and Lauren used to describe how they envisioned their day during our initial meet + greet. We connected on crushing on Esther Perel (if you don’t know her podcast, check her out!) and their desire to have an intimate day with their loved ones. They knew they wanted a mix of documentary style and more traditional portraits during their day when it came to photography. I knew I was their gal!

 
 

WEDDING LOCATIONS IN MAINE — A SECLUDED OCEANFRONT CELEBRATION

Katherine and Lauren’s vision for their day was so beautifully entwined with the family they created with their two dogs, Fleetwood and Coco, and their closest loved ones. They chose to celebrate just 5 minutes away from where they lived on the coast of Maine and close to where Lauren’s parents had gotten married!

They were most looking forward to quiet, intimate moments with each other and their family and friends — this is why they chose a rental to host their wedding day!

 
 

ROOTS IN BOTH PEOPLE AND PLACE DURING A WEDDING ON MAINE’S COAST

The style of their day was heavily influenced by elements of places they enjoy traveling together. A little bit of Maine, Scandinavia, and France was brought in through details on their day. They invited their good friend to be their officiant, and had Chris Pureka, one of their favorite artists, perform a few songs during their day. Each detail was so thoughtfully curated to help tell their story!

 
 

A TOUCH OF SYMBOLISM ON A WEDDING DAY – RING WARMING CEREMONY

Katherine and Lauren wanted to include their people during their wedding so they decided to have a ring warming ceremony prior to exchanging their rings. They had the rings pass through each of their guest’s hands until they made their way back to Katherine and Lauren to give to each other. By passing rings through the hands of every guest, the ring receives good wishes from each and every person. It was simple and so powerful to get to witness and photograph!

 
 

A SMALL WEDDING CELEBRATION ALL IN ONE PLACE

Katherine and Lauren’s day was simple and special. Just minutes away from where they have built a home together, they had their closest family and friends join them on the coast of Maine to celebrate their next chapter. Renting a private residence that allows wedding celebrations might be the best option for you if you’re looking for an intimate and cozy all-in-one-place kind of weekend. Have questions?
