Island Weddings just 15 minutes from Portland
The Inn on Peaks Island is located a 15 minute ferry ride from Portland, ME. The island has a relaxed vibe, similar to visiting Martha’s Vineyard or Nantucket. The Inn itself is a smaller bed and breakfast, and the proximity to downtown Portland’s hotels makes the Inn a perfect wedding venue.
Here’s some things the Inn on Peaks Island offers:
As wedding photographers, we love working at the Inn on Peaks Island! We invite you to learn a little more about Focus Photography, and we’d love to be your Inn on Peaks wedding photographers!
As Inn on Peaks photographers we particularly appreciate:
Twilight is beautiful at the Inn on Peaks, as it faces West towards Portland. There are very few places on the East Coast where you can actually see the sun meeting the horizon, and that golden light is magical.
Tented weddings at the Inn on Peaks are filled with summer sea breezes that gently cool your event. And because the Inn has a solid foundation, you never have to worry about wet ground spoiling your celebration.
We’ve photographed hundreds of weddings, and have a system to help you have an easy, stress-free day.
Our experience makes your experience better :)
We’ll plan a photo timeline with you weeks before your wedding, so everyone will know where they’re supposed to be, and when.
You’ll Have confidence, calmness and clarity, not chaos!
“Scott’s groomsmen couldn’t stop talking about how funny Will was when he worked with the guys. And these are tough guys.”

We’re a husband/wife photography team, and we shoot all the weddings here at Focus Photography.
Will grew up with a black and white darkroom in his basement, and his first photographic love is B&W.
Love isn’t dull – it’s dramatic, bright, awe-inspiring and fully saturated.
As you look at our galleries, note the chromaticity, and how your eyes react.
There’s a beach and boat launch just below the ferry dock, not 100 yards from the Inn. Any time of day (but particularly at sunset) the beach is great for wedding pictures.
Hi guys, it’s Will & Lucia from Focus Photography. If you’re looking for Inn on Peaks Island wedding photographers, we’d love to interview for that job!
We just wanted to let you know that because we shoot all the weddings at Focus Photography ourselves (we don’t subcontract to ‘associate photographers’ ), we can only accept one wedding a day, and sometimes just one a weekend.
Give us your wedding date below, and we’ll let you know ASAP if we are open, and if so, we’ll also send you all our collection info.
With both a tented dining area and an indoor dance floor, the Inn on Peaks offers weddings a variety of spaces over the course of an event.
Here are a couple of weddings we photographed at the Inn on Peaks:
Check out this fall wedding at the Inn on Peaks featuring white leather lounge furniture, hanging florals and candles, and sunset pictures at the ocean.
If you’ve never been to Peaks’ Island, it’s hard to imagine that just taking a fifteen-minute ferry-ride could put Portland and the rest of Maine so far out of mind, but every time step onto the dock at Peaks, I feel as relaxed and content as though I were on vacation on the vineyard.
"It was awesome to work with Focus Photography. They are true professionals and it was like having a second set of wedding coordinators onsite. Altogether, Will and Lucia are just wonderful people to have around on your wedding day. You can really count on Lucia to know the "what, where, and when" for everyone in the wedding party all morning long. I also couldn't believe how many names she learned! And Will is just a blast to have around, he knows how to make even the most nervous of brides (me) laugh."
Outdoor ceremonies can be held alongside the tent in the side gardens. There’s a gazebo for your ceremony, and room to sit 160 on the lawn.
There are venues in New England that seat 400 people, and one photographer will never even see some of those tables.
As a rule of thumb, if you're having more than 80 guests, you might also want to consider two photographers.
While there's no reason a more modest guest list can have two photographers, a smaller church or venue is well-handled by one.
Either Will or Lucia will be happy to be your single photographer.
Sometimes the smallest weddings have the most impact.
Whether your wedding consists of just the two of you and an officiant, or ten of your closest friends, we have hourly coverage available for small events every day except Saturdays.
We offer custom-designed heirloom-quality albums and books for all our weddings available afterwards, but the savviest shoppers get the best value by choosing a wedding collection that already include an album.
Our album craftsmen produce each book by hand, binding the boards in your choice of dozens of leathers.
A tented reception offers couples a thousand choices for wedding decor. A white tent is literally a blank canvas for your ideas.
If you need help, the space on the right was created by Laurie Andrews Event Design out of Portland.
Focus Photography is honored to be recommended by the Inn on Peaks Island ! We think the Inn on Peaks does a fabulous job with their weddings, and we love working there.
