FRENCH’S POINT WEDDING | CARRIE & DAN | 08.28.15

French’s Point Wedding | Maine Wedding Photographers

Carrie and Dan treated their families and guests to an amazing French’s Point wedding in Stockton Springs, Maine along Penobscot Bay at the gateway to the Mount Desert Island/Acadia National Park area. We loved this sweet, quiet couple from the minute we met them for their engagement session. Their quick smiles, and Carrie’s love of laughter made them so much fun to be around. Our favorites from their French’s Point wedding are below. We hope you love them as much as we do!French's Point wedding ceremony site, Stockton Springs Maine wedding

The weather was absolutely perfect for this French’s Point wedding!! The bridesmaids above, and the guests, share one of many laughs during the heartfelt ceremony that managed its share of well-placed humor, too.

Above, without question, one of the funniest ceremonies we’ve ever experienced! Max, the officiant/groomsman, performed (his first wedding ceremony ever!) with grace and aplomb, and so much humor! Including mint spray for the groom before the first kiss, below. Just when we may think we’ve seen it all, well, we haven’t, yet!  🙂
