On the most enchanting July day, my lens was poised to capture the whimsical tale of Isabella and Michael’s one-of-a-kind love. Picture this: the day began with a delightful ferry ride, the sun playing peekaboo through the wispy clouds, whisking us away to the magical Peaks Island then the beautiful Portland’s Ocean Gateway. Ah, St. Christopher Parish stood like a fairytale castle, a place where vows intertwined with the island’s- not to mention the couple’s- charm. A match made in heaven. The floral mastery gracing every corner of the parish and adorning the hands of the bridal party was a divine sight, yet nothing could rival the collective gasp echoing through the air as all eyes graced Isabella, who illuminated wide open spaces.
Peaks Island Magic
Peaks Island holds a special place in the hearts of Isabella and Michael, with a treasure trove of memories going beyond what meets the eye. Michael’s family have many summer tales from visiting their grandparents here, infusing this wedding with an elevated, uniquely cherished essence. This wasn’t just any wedding, this was their wedding through and through.
A Celebration of Love at Portland’s Ocean Gateway
After the bride and groom said ‘I do’, we set sail back to the esteemed Portland’s Ocean Gateway. And the celebration awaited! Laughter bubbled like champagne, while the band set the night ablaze. What a fun and beautiful group that I truly had the pleasure of being around. Everyone, and I mean everyone, danced the night away.
So here are the sneak peeks—a glimpse into a quintessential Maine wedding day, one that unfurled like an oceanside storybook, radiating a love so captivating, it inspired just by its presence. Cheers to Isabella and Michael, the architects of a day as exquisite as the couple themselves.
