“Working with Sarah was an absolute dream. Planning a beach wedding in Maine while living in Florida felt overwhelming at first, but Sarah made the entire process smooth and stress-free. She is so organized, thoughtful, and proactive! She’s truly everything you could want in a wedding planner. One of the biggest challenges we faced was finding the right beach that wouldn’t be too impacted by high tide. Sarah went above and beyond. She is local, so she was able to offer a wonderful spot and ultimately helped us secure the most beautiful, cinematic beach setting we could have ever imagined. It was perfect in every way, and our day would not have been the same without her guidance. On top of that, Sarah offered to help with anything and everything on the wedding day itself from moving chairs to paying vendors so we could just enjoy the moment. That kind of support is priceless. We are so grateful for her expertise, kindness, and dedication. Thank you, Sarah, for making our dream wedding a reality! We can’t recommend Petal & Pine highly enough.”

“STOP, and do not look ANY further!!! INCREDIBLE! My husband and I were big on wanting an incredible band to lead our guests through an unforgettable evening. I spent endless days searching and searching for a band. So many of wedding bands, sound just like that, a wedding band. But Champagne Casanova is not your typical “wedding band.” They are just a straight up talented group of incredible musicians. We hired them to do music through our ceremony, perform at cocktail hour, and perform for our reception. They surpassed any expectations I may have had for our wedding. So many of our guests asked me how I found them, and were so floored by their performance that they wanted their business card. Daniel, Crystal and the crew were absolutely exceptional and I truly believe that if you don’t hire them for your wedding, you are doing yourselves and your guests a disservice. Daniel communicated with me through email and was incredibly friendly, helpful, and responsive through the entire process. I truly cannot say enough nice things about these guys!!!”

Natural, documentary, photojournalistic. Real, raw, candid. We’re not going for any stiff prom poses here. I like to capture the day as it is and to document it as it unfolds.

Our first kiss was on the beach, under a star-filled sky, on my favorite island, only home to shells, bioluminescent creatures, and wild horses. Soon after, as two very young humans (21 and 23), we were married. As newlyweds we set off on an adventure, kayaking from Maine to Key West. On that trip, we realized how much we valued spending all our time together and being in charge of our schedule. This business is how we live out that dream.

“We could not have imagined better photographers for our wedding day! We met them to get engagement pictures and we had so much fun- we were so worried about being awkward but they made us feel comfortable! And for the wedding day, they got the best shots and were so involved in the wedding without seeming like they were in the way. We got so many compliments on them day of and especially after seeing their work! Highly highly recommend them!!”

“Words cannot express how amazing Jazmine and her team are. We got married at my families Christmas Tree Farm (not a wedding venue) and worked closely with Jazmine the entire year leading up to the wedding. We turned a backyard wedding into a venue, and this is all thanks to Jazmine and her team. Every. Single. Detail. Was executed to perfection. You’ll spend a lot of time working with Jazmine leading up to the wedding day. Please trust her process as she knows exactly what needs to happen, what will work best, and how to take everything over so you don’t have to worry about anything. Jazmine listens to your vision, understands where to bring it, and fully brings it to life on your wedding day - without you needing to worry about one thing. Jazmine and her team are hardworking, caring, and dedicated to making your dream day come true. In my opinion, the most important thing about Jazmine is: she isn’t just another wedding vendor to keep tabs on. SHE is the one holding other vendors accountable. SHE is the emotional support on your big day. SHE is the calmness I needed when everything was coming together, but also a little stressful. I am so thankful for our vendor team, but especially Jazmine and her team who flawlessly executed our wedding day.”

“Heather is so good anu what she does - and did a wonderful job with my wedding hair and makeup. From the day I DM’d her on Instagram to the day of our wedding, she was a dream to work with. She was incredibly communicative and collaborative and went above and beyond to make sure I felt entirely comfortable and could find my look. I wanted natural glam, and don’t ever use hairspray or foundation - so didn’t want to for my wedding, either - which I knew would scare some vendors. As a true pro Heather trusted me and I trusted her. She worked with me on products to example looks to making some tweaks from our makeup trial in order to truly perfect things and make sure I felt like myself on the day of our wedding. Over two years later and I still feel so lucky to have found her and gotten to have her as part of my wedding team!”

The best part about using this venue for our wedding was working with the owners, Nora and Zack.

They are both easy going, attentive, professional, accommodating and most of all creative when it came to helping us execute our vision in their space. Our favorite things about the space included; having studio A to get ready in, walking out of the big sliding door towards the aisle, having the garage door which opened up to outdoor space, and the tall ceilings which helped the room feel big and not too loud. Our guests were in love with the venue. To this day our guests comment on how cool the space was to get married in and how we were so lucky to work with such a great team.

We’re Caroline and Nermin, the husband-and-wife team behind Caroline Captures Media. Our story began in Bar Harbor, where we first met while working along the coast. It didn’t take long for Maine’s landscapes, communities, and coastal beauty to become a place we deeply connected with and eventually came to call home. Nermin grew up in Montenegro along the Adriatic Sea, so Maine’s rugged shoreline and maritime culture felt immediately familiar. Our shared connection to coastal places and the outdoors has shaped not only our lives, but also the way we see and document weddings.

“We were so happy with Caroline Captures Media from start to finish. Their communication was quick and professional, making the whole process easy and stress-free. On our wedding day, they went above and beyond to help us get the best shots and made sure we felt comfortable in front of the camera. They were willing to capture any extra photos we wanted without hesitation. The quality of their work is incredible and the value we got was honestly amazing. We would not hesitate to recommend Caroline Captures Media to any couple looking for a photographer.”

“Fortland is truly the best wedding venue ever!! We got married there in August and it was better than we could have imagined. From the start, Ashley and Stacey were incredible to work with. Fortland isn’t a plug-and-play venue, which is part of why we chose it, but it also means having a team who really knows the island matters. They helped us think through how to use each space and shared ideas from past weddings that made our weekend feel personal and helped imagine how a wedding could work out in such a unique place. We did a full island takeover, which I would recommend if you can swing it. Our wedding parties stayed in the tents all weekend and it ended up being one of the highlights. Even friends who don’t ever camp were comfortable and fully into it immediately. Our rehearsal dinner on the overlook deck was stunning, and wrapping the night around the campfire was super fun for both us and our friends and family. On Saturday, we used every part of the island we could. The ceremony on the dock was calm and beautiful, looking out towards Fort Gorges and sailboats. Cocktail hour on the parade ground overlooking Casco Bay felt quintessentially Maine. Stefan offered an optional fort tour that a surprising number of guests loved. Dinner inside the bastion as the sun set through the stone windows was unreal. Then we had a band under the community tent and it turned into the kind of party you hope for but can’t fully plan. Every shift in location made the next part of the night feel new and exciting. The staff really makes Fortland what it is. Katrina and Stefan, the owners, care deeply about the property and about the people getting married there, and you feel that all weekend. Grace and Jo were the caretakers on the island with us all weekend and were so fun and easy to be around while also being incredibly on top of everything. If you’re looking for a traditional ballroom wedding, this isn’t that. But if you want an experience where your guests feel immersed, connected, and a little bit off the grid in the best way, Fortland is hard to beat. We'll definitely be visiting Fortland again every chance we can get.”

“We had our wedding at Bissell Brothers Brewing Co. and it was the perfect day all around. From our first conversation, the team was responsive and easy to work with, answering all our questions and making sure we felt heard every step of the way. The space has this festive, airy vibe that made the whole celebration feel fun and relaxed, and our out-of-state guests couldn't stop talking about how great the venue was.
