Annie and Kevin at Fort Williams

The Portland Company Wedding of Annie and Kevin

Annie and Kevin’s Elegant Wedding at 58 Fore in Portland, ME

When it comes to unforgettable Maine weddings, Annie and Kevin’s celebration at the historic 58 Fore was nothing short of magical. From the intimate moments of preparation to the lively reception in the Blue Industry Room, every detail of their day was a testament to their love and the incredible vendors who brought their vision to life.

Three different dresses.  A tea ceremony.  A first glance session. And a trip to the beach and Fort Williams park.  And then after the church, a hip and swanky reception at the Portland Company (you know, the place where they hold the flower show, but it didn’t look anything at all like that when Annie got done with it….)  This is going to be a lot of images, but what choice do I have?  This was a wedding made for photographers, and I have hundreds of favorites. Let’s start with the tea ceremony:

Tea Ceremony

The morning began at Annie’s parents’ home in Cape Elizabeth, where the couple honored Kevin’s heritage with a traditional Tea Ceremony. Draped in a stunning red silk dress, Annie radiated joy as her family gathered for this heartfelt tradition. Meanwhile, Kevin prepared for the day with equal excitement, surrounded by his closest family.

First Look in the Heart of Cape Elizabeth

Annie and Kevin chose to have their first look in the backyard of Annie’s childhood home. The lush greenery and sentimental setting made for an emotional moment that perfectly set the tone for their day. The pure joy on Kevin’s face when he saw Annie for the first time was unforgettable and a testament to the deep bond they share.
