Mary & Andy’s Oceanside Elopement: Intimate, Joyful, and Full of Love
In August, I had the absolute joy of photographing Mary and Andy’s oceanside elopement at the Ogunquit Museum of American Art in Maine. It was the kind of day that reminds you what weddings are truly about: love, connection, and soaking in every moment with the people who mean the most.
Mary and Andy’s ceremony was as intimate as it gets—Andy’s parents and two close friends were there, and family members from other countries joined in virtually via phone, sharing in the moment from thousands of miles away. They incorporated beautiful Ukrainian wedding traditions into their day, adding even more meaning. Mary and Andy exchanged their vows by the ocean, with the sound of the waves (okay, not rolling gently, but you get the idea) and boats passing by in the background. It was simple, heartfelt, and absolutely perfect for them.
Mary ditched the traditional white wedding dress and wore an outfit that was completely her own—unique, stylish, and perfect for the occasion. Her bouquet was stunning, and she couldn’t stop gushing about how much she loved it. Watching her hold those florals and light up every time she looked at Andy was just so sweet.
After the ceremony, we wandered down to the rocks by the water for photos. The energy between Mary and Andy was infectious—they were so happy, so in the moment, and so clearly head over heels for each other. I barely had to give them any direction because they were just themselves: laughing, giggling, and soaking it all in. Boats sailed by in the background, and the ocean breeze made everything feel just right.
Thank you for choosing me, it was an honor!
Much Love!
