Molly + Keith’s Wedding in Acadia National Park and Ellsworth, Maine

Acadia National Park Wedding

Keith and Molly’s Acadia National Park wedding was the kind of day that makes you stop and feel everything a little deeper. Their wedding day had the brightest fall sunshine and a soft breeze off the ocean — the kind of weather that feels like it’s cheering you on. They chose to have a first look at Schoodic Point, one of the most breathtaking spots in all of Acadia. With the waves crashing behind them and the sunlight pouring in over the ocean, they read their vows quietly to each other before the ceremony. No audience, no rush — just them, surrounded by the rugged Maine coastline and that golden, glowing calm before the celebration.

Molly getting ready details…

Sunlight filtering through old windows, soft fabric draped over staircases, and the weight of meaning in every little detail. Her dress hung gently on a wooden door frame just waiting to be put on, while her shoes rested beside handwritten vows tucked inside a leather journal labeled “To My Husband.” A pearl bracelet and delicate earrings sat on an ornate tray, waiting to be part of the story. Her bridesmaids’ rust-colored dresses lined the room like autumn leaves, echoing the fiery trees outside. Even the bouquet, full of texture and late-season blooms, looked like it was handpicked from a backyard garden. These were the quiet keepsakes of the day — the pieces that tell you who she is, who they are, and what this moment truly meant.

He stood quietly on the rocky coastline, waiting with that kind of nervous excitement for Molly to tap him on the shoulder. When he turned around, his whole face softened. No words at first—just that kind of smile you only save for one person. They held each other close, like they forgot the whole world was watching. They shared their vows to each other with the ocean as witness and the sea breeze wrapping around them like a blessing. It was peaceful, private, and deeply them.

Their portraits felt effortless — like two people who genuinely just love being around each other. You could feel it in the way Keith helped Molly with her dress over the rocks, or how she couldn’t stop smiling even when the wind tangled her veil. Every detail was intentional, but nothing felt forced. That’s the kind of storytelling I live for.

Their ceremony details at the Jordan’s family blueberry farm

We met back up with their people at the Jordan family’s blueberry farm — a place bursting with color, warmth, and generations of memory. Their two dogs stood up at the altar with them (yes, actual family members), as the sun dipped behind the trees and lit the sky in deep red and orange. It felt like the kind of sunset that only happens once, and it waited until the exact moment they kissed.

Cozy Fall Tent Reception with warm twinkly lights, candles, and fresh florals for every table

Their tent reception had the dreamiest vibes — warm string lights, soft laughter, and a packed dance floor by the time the sun went down. It wasn’t just a party, it was a night full of meaning, held in the same fields that raised Keith’s family. Every frame from this Acadia National Park wedding tells a chapter of something real, something rooted, and something worth remembering forever.

Perfectly placed reception details

Their reception was warm and nostalgic tucked under a glowing canopy of string lights. Long family-style tables were decorated with earthy-toned florals, glowing taper candles, and rust-coloured napkins. A personalized seating chart titled “From Coast to Coast – the People We Love the Most” honoured their favourite people, and signature drinks named after their pups brought playful charm to the bar. Vintage touches were tucked throughout—from framed wedding photos of past generations to a rotary phone “audio guestbook” waiting for sweet voicemails. A simple white cake adorned with fresh blueberries sat beside a tower of chocolate-covered whoopie pies. The packed dance floor made the night feel like home—just with a little more sparkle.
