Why We Love the Viewpoint Hotel as a Wedding Venue:

It’s pretty hard to beat the views you get of the Nubble Lighthouse at the Viewpoint Hotel. When I first started photography, Nubble Lighthouse was a location I frequented at sunrise, and I was always curious about the hotel that overlooked one of the coolest lighthouses in the state. Josie and I first photographed and filmed here after their renovations, which added Shoreside rooms, tucked under the ceremony site with a direct view of the water and Nubble. The entire front side of the room is a glass window with completely unobstructed views, and we think it’s one of the coolest hotel features in the state. Aside from the beautiful rooms, their ceremony site is stunning and provides the same classic “viewpoint” of the Nubble Lighthouse. It is classic, coastal Maine.

Here are some of the landscape images I was talking about taking when I started photography.

Limitless Coastal Maine Design Options

Our Favorite Venue Feature

Taking your wedding portraits with the stunning backdrop of the Nubble Lighthouse is one of our favorite features! The Viewpoint has a patio down below their last set of rooms that overlooks Nubble from a vantage point just above sea level, making it the perfect lace to take wedding portraits tucked away from your guests for a little bit more privacy. It’s not a long walk though, as back up the stairs the party awaits in the sailcloth tent on the side of the property. Josie and I love the little private patio for your portraits!

The Sun During Your Ceremony

The Coast of Maine doesn’t have many spots where a ceremony overlooking the ocean doesn’t face East, and the Viewpoint is no exception. The sun will be high in the sky, and likely shining on your faces as you stand up at the front of your ceremony site, which can sometimes lead to tricky lighting situations and squinty faces! We suggest putting whichever one of you has the hardest time looking in the sun on the right side of the ceremony site, traditionally the groom’s side, as that side will be back-to the shining sun.

HAVE FUN!

We know it sounds silly, but the most important thing you can do on your wedding day is have fun. You’ve hired vendors you can trust, let them work at their craft so you can enjoy the best day yet. Josie and I prioritize our couples enjoying themselves on wedding day, because it’s supposed to be a party with your closest friends and family! We want your enjoyment of your wedding to show in your photos and your film, and the best way to do that is to enjoy your day together as husband and wife.

THESE MEMORIES LAST A lifetime.

Josie and I offer something you can’t find everywhere: A wedding photography and videography experience by a husband-and-wife team. We are based in Southern Maine, but travel all over the United States and across the globe to photograph and film weddings for couples who put an emphasis on preserving their wedding day memories. We’d love to have the opportunity to get to know you better and create a package that works best for your wedding and vision!
