A Sebasco Harbor Resort wedding is always a welcomed treat for us. The beautiful Sebasco Harbor Resort is across the bay from our Boathouse Studio, and is just minutes away from our offices by boat. It’s in our backyard quite literally, and when Sherry and Paul contacted us last year to photograph their wedding we were thrilled to support them.
Paul is a graphic designer who designed their wedding invitation. He did a beautiful job. The two little birds became a theme on all their paper.

Sherry and Paul live in Brooklyn, NY, but returned to Paul’s home state of Maine to exchange their vows. Sebasco Harbor Resort was a wonderful location choice for these two, as some of Sherry’s family traveled all the way from Iran to be there for their wedding weekend. Sebasco is an ideal destination wedding weekend venue, where families can really connect and spend quality time together by the sea. There’s plenty of rooms, activities, shoreline and opportunities to get away from it all, while really appreciating the coast of Maine.
This ringbearer was focused so intently on doing his job that he kept his head down staring at his precious cargo. For one instant he looked up and we got that moment. Adorable.
Paul is one of the most fun and expressive grooms ever. He’s quick to smile, quicker to laugh and as Sherry walked down the isle with her dad, he was literally bouncing on his toes, grinning ear to ear to see her. She really did look beautiful.

Oceanfront Wedding at Sebasco Harbor Resort. Classic Maine.
The backlit ceremony was beautiful.
I always love that moment when the couple turns to walk down the isle. Some cry, others look to their families, but Paul & Sherry just turned to eachother and giggled. It was so genuine and clear that they enjoy one another so much.
These two have a LOT of fun. Here they’re just cracking up laughing after their wedding.
The Clipper Room is an old shore house that was brought up from the waters edge and beautifully restored.
Stunning, simple, elegant decorations.
Each guest received a gift bag of dragèe (sugar coated almonds) and Iranian coins. Want to know the significance of dragèe at a wedding? We had no idea either, so we looked it up… and the answer is: “because the almond is technically a seed, it has long been associated with fertility. And so dragees have come to symbolize fertility, prosperity and good luck – what we all wish for the bride and groom.” See the full article from which we snagged that explanation here.
Their first dance.
Wedding cake with a goldfish… huh? People always ask us how we find such interesting details at weddings. The answer is that we ask questions and then pay attention to the answers! This is Sherry and Paul’s pet goldfish that made the trip all the way from Brooklyn! They didn’t want to get married without him there!
Rockin’ out.
