Kelly and Ryan’s Maine Wedding at the Atlantic Oceanside in Bar Harbor

Please join us in congratulating Kelly and Ryan! They were married on a lovely summer’s day at the Atlantic Oceanside Hotel and Event Center in beautiful Bar Harbor, Maine. Kelly and Ryan greatly enjoy Acadia National Park, and they knew they wanted to get married near the water. The Atlantic Oceanside was therefore a perfect fit.

When Kelly and Ryan first met, they were so enamored with each other that they went on four dates in the course of the first week. Kelly recounts that she knew she wanted to marry Ryan very early on. Ryan made her wish a reality when he proposed during a trip to Willard Beach accompanied by their adorable husky, Kaia. Kelly was so overjoyed that she ran around screaming with excitement, which Ryan correctly assumed was a “yes.” In their spare time, Kelly and Ryan like to watch sports, visit breweries, snuggle their fur baby, and build Legos.

The weather couldn’t have been nicer as Kelly and Ryan said their vows. Ryan’s father, Matt, officiated a heartwarming ceremony that included a sand ceremony, and before long Kelly and Ryan were sealing the deal with a kiss. We were so happy for them!

Later on, we borrowed the happy couple for portraits on the nearby pier, followed by dancing and other festivities in the Atlantic Oceanside’s event space. The whole time, Kelly and Ryan couldn’t stop smiling, and all of their guests were so happy and excited for them.

We had a great experience working with Kelly and Ryan, and we’re so glad they asked us to photograph their special day. We wish them all the hpapiness in the world together. Below are some of our favorite pictures from throughout their Bar Harbor wedding. Take a look!
