Lauren + Mark’s Ocean Gateway Wedding

Ocean Gateway holds a special place in my heart as one of my all-time favorite wedding venues in Maine. Nestled right on the edge of Casco Bay, it offers a warm welcome to newcomers to Portland while showcasing the city’s maritime charm. The venue’s design, resembling the prow of a ship, adds to its allure, and the breathtaking backdrop of islands and water truly enhances the beauty of any event held there, especially weddings!

The Historic Old Port

Lauren and Mark’s wedding at Ocean Gateway was a sight to behold. After their heartfelt first look, we ventured to the Historic Old Port area. The crew of bridesmaids and groomsmen gathered near Wharf Street, creating picturesque scenes against the backdrop of brick buildings and the cobblestone streets. The blend of historic architecture and modern love was a joy to capture through my lens.
