Granite Ridge Estate & Barn Wedding | Jill & Gabe

Jill and Gabe contacted me two months before their Granite Ridge Estate & Barn wedding, and after hearing how happy and excited Jill was on the phone, I knew I really wanted to photograph these two. They had a beautiful November wedding at Jill's family vacation home in Norway, Maine, and I couldn't believe how fantastic the view was! The house sits nestled in the western Maine mountains, and you can see a ski resort off in the distance. It's also a wonderful place to watch the sunset. It was my first time photographing a wedding in western Maine, and it will definitely be hard to beat.

Jill and Gabe had an intimate wedding with their closest friends, family, and their two Great Danes, who served as ringbearer and flower girl. They were perhaps the cutest ringbearer and flower girl I've ever documented. Everyone was so incredible that it was hard for me to leave at the end of the day! Thank you for everything, Jill and Gabe!

P.S. Since their wedding, Jill and her family have opened up the property for others to host their weddings at, and they've built one of the most gorgeous wedding barns I've ever seen. I feel honored to have been the one to photograph the first wedding at Granite Ridge, and I can't wait to travel back over the years.

Here are some of my favorites from Jill and Gabe's day!
