If you’re dreaming of a romantic East Coast destination wedding, Gabrielle and Matt’s intimate Maine celebration is everything you’re looking for. Set against the stunning backdrop of Maine’s coastline, their wedding was the perfect balance of elegance, natural beauty, and heartfelt emotion. As a destination wedding photographer, I had the honor of documenting their story in one of the most breathtaking locations on the East Coast—Maine.
Maine is truly a dream destination for couples who want something that feels relaxed yet elevated. From the rugged shoreline to the charming coastal towns and soft light, it offers everything you could want for a wedding that feels both personal and stunning for photos.
One of the highlights of their Maine wedding day was the emotional connection woven through every moment. Whether it was Gabrielle’s mom and sister helping her into her dress and being fully present, the couple exchanging vows, or the spontaneous laughter on the dance floor, each image tells a piece of the story. I love when my couples and their families are fully immersed in the day without overthinking my presence and needs. That’s when I can truly capture incredible candids and it’s a win-win situation for everyone. The memories that matter most years from now.
From their intimate ceremony next to the ocean to a quiet moment alone along the rocky coastline, every moment of their day reflected who they were and what they valued the most. Maine just added to the beauty of the day, making it such an incredible (and underrated) wedding destination.

My goal is to help couples feel seen and celebrated, while creating imagery that reflects the real emotion of the day. Never forced, never rushed, always intentional.

Gabrielle and Matt’s day unfolded naturally, from candid getting-ready moments to sunset photos by the water, and every part of their celebration felt true to them.
