When I started working on the blog post for our best Maine and New England wedding photos of 2020, I was sure it would be much shorter than usual because COVID-19 hit and shrunk our season considerably. Unfortunately, though, one thing Coronavirus could not change was my inability to scale down my favorites! So this blog post isn’t any shorter at all.
At the end of 2019, we were to have a wedding almost every weekend of the busy season. However, when early spring hit, many of our clients made the tough decision to jump ship and postpone to 2021 or later. Nevertheless, a few couples hung on and worked incredibly hard to keep their weddings safe. They cut guest lists to under 25 people, incorporated hand sanitizer into the decor, quarantined with those who would be attending their wedding, wore masks as much as possible, and made sure everyone tested. We’ve thanked our clients a million times for keeping things as safe for us as possible, but they deserve another one here. Thank you!
After all the postponements, we ended up with only five micro weddings in 2020. However, we could still travel throughout Maine to Goose Rocks Beach in Kennebunkport and Linekin Bay Resort in Boothbay Harbor. We even got to return to the beautiful Cranberry Isles by boat! In addition, we took a small step over the border to the Snowvillage Inn in New Hampshire. Finally, we photographed a delightful backyard wedding of one of our couples at the Watertown, Massachusetts home.
While I wish we hadn’t had to deal with a pandemic, I don’t think any of our couples would change how their wedding day turned out. Intimate weddings allow you to relax and soak up the company of your nearest and dearest. But, they put the focus back on the most important thing: love. I could photograph micro weddings for the rest of the time and be a pleased photographer.
So, here are our best Maine and New England wedding photos from 2020. Enjoy!
