Westin Portland Harborview Weddings | Maine Wedding Photographers
Lenaya and Brandon’s Portland, Maine wedding was a show-stopper!! We love Westin Portland Harborview weddings, and this was no exception. Their gorgeous wedding ceremony was held at the Williston-Immanual United Church. The church is directly located across the street from the Westin Portland Harborview, which is where the stunning reception took place (not to mention all the prep for the ladies as well as the men).
Lenaya and Brandon chose to have a wedding day first look. When we have a couple that chooses to do a first look, the first thing we look for is good light… that said, beautiful light is even better, of course! Then we do our best to make sure the background within that nice light is clear and clutter-free. Finally, we want the bride and groom to have some privacy during this very tender moment. We found all of these ingredients and then some at the Williston-Immanuel United Church. And we think you’ll agree, Lenaya and Brandon’s first look is super sweet! Letting the tears of joy flow at the first look is one of our very favorite moments of any wedding.
Enjoy a peek at Lenaya and Brandon’s day! After this first shot of the bridal party at Deering Oaks in Portland, Maine, the photos are sequential starting with the ring shots and working their way through to the end of the reception. Looking at these photos it is no wonder we love being a part of wedding days, right!?!
