Weddings to Remember

Greg A. Hartford, photographer, author, publisherI can think of no other place in New England that can match a wedding in Acadia National Park, Bar Harbor, or many of the surrounding communities for such stunning beauty and the combination of ocean, mountains, and fantastic seafood. This is a wonderful place to share with those whom you love, especially your mate. Perhaps you have already a specific place in mind. If you have not selected one yet, use the interactive Mount Desert Island or Schoodic Peninsula map and explore the many locations and villages. There is are many places to choose from.
