Amy Ryan | Samoset Resort

When someone who works at a venue chooses you to photograph their wedding, it’s the ultimate compliment — and that’s exactly what happened when Amy, a member of the team at Samoset Resort, chose us to capture her big day. She had seen our work from other Samoset weddings and loved the way we documented the joy, the setting, and the love stories. Amy and Ryan’s wedding in Rockport, Maine, was a beautiful, heartfelt celebration filled with elegance, emotion, and some truly stunning scenery.

The couple’s ceremony took place on the golf course lawn, just steps from Penobscot Bay, with ocean views stretching out behind them. The breeze off the water, the lush greens of the course, and the love these two shared made the ceremony absolutely unforgettable. And in a moment that made everyone pause, Ryan wore his National Guard uniform — a subtle, powerful reminder of service and honor that added so much depth to the day. As a Midcoast Maine wedding photographer, it’s always special to be part of moments like this.

After portraits around the property — with that iconic Samoset coastline as our backdrop — the celebration moved into the resort’s elegant ballroom. With floor-to-ceiling windows and a soft golden glow from the setting sun, it was the perfect spot for dinner, dancing, and some heartfelt toasts. Wedding photography at the Samoset Resort always delivers, but Amy and Ryan’s day was particularly meaningful thanks to the care and intention they poured into every detail.

Whether you’re planning a destination wedding or you’ve fallen in love with the Maine coast, Samoset Resort in Rockport is an incredible place to say “I do.” With ocean views, flexible ceremony spots, and an elegant reception space, it’s no wonder Amy and Ryan chose it — and I’d love to help you capture your story there, too. Let’s make your dream day as unforgettable as theirs!

Thanks for looking – Will and Lucia
