Chilloa and Derek shared an incredible wedding day in mid-coast Maine in May, 2025. Dodging day-long bursts of light-moderate raindrops, we had breaks long enough to get outside. While there, the grounds at the Samoset Resort in Rockport, Maine served beautifully, as always. Take a look at a few of our favorite moments of the day: (!)
