Danyelle + Tommy’s Wedding at Meadow Ridge Farm

Danyelle and Tommy’s wedding at Meadow Ridge Farm felt like pure magic! These two are simply amazing, and their wedding day was a perfect blend of fun and heartfelt moments. Nestled in the heart of Winterport, Maine, Meadow Ridge Farm provided a breathtaking backdrop for their celebration, with its peaceful woodland trails, rustic charm, and expansive views of nature.

A Perfect Day in Winterport

From the moment I arrived, I knew this was going to be a fantastic celebration! The energy was awesome, and everyone — from the couple to the wedding party to the guests — was ready to celebrate the love that Danyelle and Tommy share. It was clear that a lot of thought and care went into every little detail, and the venue itself only enhanced the already joyful atmosphere.

Let’s start with the fashion — because wow, did Danyelle make a statement! Her dress was absolutely stunning. One of her favorite things about it was how it highlighted her long legs. She looked like she stepped out of a bridal magazine — confident, radiant, and completely glowing. Her bridesmaids were equally dazzling in gold dresses that shimmered in the natural light and complimented the tones of the venue so beautifully. The golden hues played off the surrounding greenery and wooden textures of Meadow Ridge Farm in the best way. On the other side of the aisle, Tommy and his groomsmen looked sharp in their navy blue suits.

The ceremony space at Meadow Ridge Farm was beautiful! Just a short walk through the woods leads you and your guests to the edge of a serene farm pond. There, under the sweeping branches of a willow tree and framed by rolling hay fields, is the most charming ceremony spot you can imagine. An arbor made from handmade barn beams and rows of rustic wooden benches give the whole area a cozy, intentional feel — like the land itself was made for moments like this.

One of the most heartfelt parts of the day was Danyelle’s grandmother officiating the ceremony. That personal connection added so much meaning to an already emotional experience. As Danyelle walked down the aisle, the entire space lit up — and not just from the golden sunlight peeking through the trees. Her presence was truly radiant, and the look on Tommy’s face said it all.

The Barn Reception

After the vows were exchanged and the cheers rang out, I whisked the newlyweds away for some portraits. The surrounding greenery gave us a soft, romantic backdrop that felt both peaceful and full of life. These two were so natural together. It’s always my goal to capture not just how a couple looks on their wedding day, but how they feel, and with Danyelle and Tommy, that emotion was so easy to photograph.

As we moved into the reception, the celebration kicked into full swing. The Barn at Meadow Ridge Farm’s ambiance created the perfect atmosphere for good food, great company, and tons of dancing. One of my favorite parts of the evening was sneaking Danyelle and Tommy away for some sunset photos. As the sun dipped behind the trees and cast golden light across the pond and hay fields, the whole place took on a dreamy glow. They danced, held hands, and simply enjoyed the quiet togetherness that comes in the pause between dinner and dancing. These moments are always some of the best of the day.

And then, to top it all off, came the sparkler send-off — a perfect ending to an unforgettable day. Guests lined up under the stars, sparklers in hand, lighting the path for Danyelle and Tommy as they made their grand exit. In a cinematic moment that felt straight out of a movie, Tommy scooped up his new bride and carried her off into the night, surrounded by cheers, laughter, and glowing lights.

Danyelle and Tommy’s wedding was everything a wedding should be — full of love, laughter, unforgettable moments, and a setting that felt tailor-made for the start of their forever. Meadow Ridge Farm was the perfect choice, effortlessly blending natural beauty with rustic charm. It’s easy to see why this place, and this couple, left such a lasting impression on me. To Danyelle and Tommy: Thank you for letting me be a part of your beautiful day. It was an honor to capture the story of your love, and I hope these memories bring you joy for many, many years to come.
