SEBASCO HARBOR RESORT WEDDING | ABBY & SABEN | 08.22.15

Sebasco Harbor Resort Wedding | Maine Photographers

Abby and Saben are very clearly in love; easily visible in the way that they look and treat each other. These two had a romantic Sebasco Harbor Resort wedding, Saturday, August 22, 2015. We were so excited to be a part of this special couple’s day with their closest family and friends. Congratulations to the lovely couple!! We hope you enjoy some of our favorite photos of the day, starting with this one we did just after their first look:Bride and groom on the rock at Sebasco Harbor Resort

And, now, back to the beginning of the day, starting in the bridal prep suite:

We love bride getting-ready photos. It tells such a special story of the day. There are so many emotions and beautiful details to capture, including the rings on the pretty pastel invitation from Zula Bell, below right.

The tears flowed with the father of the bride, seeing his daughter dressed for her wedding for the first time, below. We love the show of emotion!

Below, Abby and Saben decided to see each other, a wedding day first look, before the wedding ceremony.  Many couples find that incorporating a first look not only helps keep their anxiety levels in check but also allows for a less-stressful schedule for the rest of the day.

We were lucky to have Abby and Saben to ourselves for a few moments.

The clouds were ever-present, but rather than spoiling the day, made for some intriguing light and drama.

It’s alway cute when there are flower girls and ring bearers, you’re never sure exactly what will happen! Here, the sweet flower girl promptly empties her basket, then checks to make sure the petals are gone.

The weather could not have been nicer, a light veil of clouds filtering the heat and the light a bit, and comfortable temperatures.  Sebasco Harbor Resort outdoor wedding by the harborBridal party and bride and groom during wedding ceremony

When the sun sets at Sebasco, it is time to head outside to take it all in!  Being an easterly-facing state, relatively few coastal resorts in Maine –essentially only those on peninsulas– have ocean-facing sunset views.
