Getting Ready & Vows at the Ogunquit River Inn

Tucked along the serene banks of the Ogunquit River, the Inn cradled quiet anticipation. The late afternoon light spilled through the windows, wrapping around handwritten vows and the soft, nervous laughter of two people about to change everything. This peaceful riverfront setting offered the perfect beginning to their Maine intimate elopement.

With a private ceremony on the lawn overlooking the water, their vows felt sacred. Just the two of them and their families, the river—an exchange of promises beneath the open sky.

The Ogunquit River Inn is a hidden gem for couples planning an Ogunquit River Inn elopement. With its modern touches and natural surroundings, it provided a calm and cozy space to settle in before the coastal adventure.

Portraits Along Marginal Way & Lobster Point Lighthouse

After their ceremony, we made our way to Marginal Way and paused at Lobster Point Lighthouse for portraits. The diffused light softened every edge, and the cliffs and sea made the perfect canvas for their joy. There was no rush—just the two of them, walking hand in hand, stopping to laugh, breathe, and soak it all in.

Lobster Point Lighthouse is tucked right along Marginal Way, offering a quiet corner of history and atmosphere. Whether you’re eloping or just capturing portraits here, it’s a dreamy mix of Maine charm and oceanside beauty.

Nubble Lighthouse in Cape Neddick

We ended our evening at Nubble Lighthouse as the last light spilled across the sea. The couple danced barefoot in the grass, wrapped in each other’s arms as the lighthouse blinked to life behind them. There was something timeless about that moment, as if they had stepped into their own memory before it had even passed.

A Nubble Lighthouse elopement at sunset is perfect for couples craving romance with a dose of drama. Cape Neddick’s iconic lighthouse surrounded by open skies and sea makes it a top choice for sunset elopement portraits in Maine.
