Destination Wedding in Maine: An Intimate Lucerne Inn Wedding in Dedham
Picture this: a cozy Maine getaway, an intimate celebration surrounded by the beauty of nature, and a couple who isn’t afraid to embrace the unexpected. Morgan and Ethan’s wedding at Lucerne Inn in Dedham was everything I love about a destination wedding—raw, real, and full of heart. The best part? We embraced the rain (and by embraced, I mean ran into it!) to capture some of the most magical portraits I’ve ever taken. Trust me when I say that nothing beats the beautiful, moody vibe that a little rain can add to a wedding day!

Rain? No Problem!
Okay, let’s talk about the rain. I know it’s not exactly the weather you picture when you plan your wedding day, but let me tell you—it makes the photos. Morgan and Ethan didn’t flinch when the rain started pouring down. Nope, they didn’t panic, they danced in it. And I honestly couldn’t have asked for anything better! The rain gave the whole vibe of the portraits a dreamy, cinematic feel—plus, the raindrops on their faces just added an extra layer of romance.
We ran into the rain, and in doing so, we made the best memories. The soft mist, the way the light changed, and the quiet moments between Morgan and Ethan made it all feel so authentic. These are the kinds of moments that make my heart sing as a photographer! When the couple isn’t just going through the motions, but truly soaking up the moment, rain or shine.
The Ultimate Dance Party Vibes
Now, let’s talk about Morgan and Ethan’s wedding party. Can we just take a moment to appreciate how amazing this group was? I honestly felt like one of their friends by the end of the night. They were hilarious, kind, and just downright fun. And when it came time to hit the dance floor? Oh, my gosh—they brought the house down. I’ve never seen a wedding party with better moves.
There were some iconic moments throughout the night that I’ll never forget. From the wild dance-offs to the laugh-out-loud moments, their crew made the whole celebration feel like a big family get-together. And honestly? Those are the moments that make a wedding unforgettable. They weren’t just there to celebrate—they were there to create memories that would last forever.

Every glance, every touch—those small, intimate moments were what made their wedding day so magical.
Client Love
“My husband and I first saw Sarah’s work on Instagram. We’d spent weeks looking for a wedding photographer, and, because our wedding was a destination wedding in a remote part of Maine, we’d had trouble finding someone whose work resonated with us. As soon as we saw Sarah’s, we knew she was the one! We flew her out and we knew to expect an excellent photographer. We didn’t realize that, with Sarah, we’d booked not only a photographer but our wedding day hero. Sarah went above and beyond. She helped with bridesmaid hair, bonded with all of our friends, made everyone laugh, calmed our nerves, coordinated with our other vendors to keep the ceremony and reception running smoothly, all on top of taking breathtaking photos. And she got some edited final versions back to us 2 hours after she left our reception so we weren’t waiting weeks or months like most couples (!!!). I had multiple guests mention how great she was and how much fun they had with her. I could not recommend anyone more highly, she is absolutely amazing. We are forever grateful!!! Thank you, Sarah!!” – Bride
“I was a member of a wedding party Sarah shot and she was such an amazing addition. She was punctual, organized, and went above and beyond her photographer duties. Sarah made sure my best friend not only got amazing photos, but also helped to keep the wedding on track when the event coordinator was nowhere to be found. She was friendly and engaging with all guests and just overall such a great person to be around. I don’t think the day would have ran as smoothly as it did if it weren’t for her!” – Brides Best Friend
