Private Estate | Kittery, ME

Wedding
Written By Carl Heyerdahl

Tucked away on a private estate on the coast of Maine, L + T created one of my favorite understated celebrations for their friends and family. With a welcome dinner on Friday at a local restaurant and reception the next day on windswept fields, the salty sea breeze swept across the sun-soaked ceremony and charming weathered buildings. Under a timeless sailcloth tent, the reception combined a coastal feel with elegant luxury. Tables decorated with flowers and candles created an inviting and refined atmosphere. Paper lanterns above the guests filled the evening with the perfect glow as the dance floor hosted heartfelt speeches and joyful dancing. Every detail, from the delicate floral linens to the bespoke local favors, reflected the couple's understated yet discerning taste and created a memorable weekend for their guests.

I am a wedding and portrait photographer based in Ithaca, NY, and working with people is what I love. 

Photography is a big part of your wedding, and it is not something I take lightly. I am honored that you are interested in having me capture this part of your special day. My goal is to create something beautiful for you to look back on and remember the moments for years to come.

When looking for a photographer, it is important to find someone you feel will portray all the hard work you have put into your wedding celebration. I will work with you to merge our visions, creating something timeless and original. My approach is personal, but respectful which allows me to use my knowledge and experience, but also leaves room for small candid moments to develop naturally. After we complete the day, I will carefully select the best images and add the finishing touches to make sure they are perfect. I am experienced with all elements of getting your photos ready—including editing, retouching, and final processing— meaning I can have them ready sooner while still maintaining a personal touch. 

Not just a face behind the lens, you might want to know a bit more about me. I grew up here in the northeast, specifically around coastal Maine and central Vermont. I love spending time outside and have been taking photos for most of my life. When I do manage to put down the camera, I enjoy mountain biking, drinking good coffee, and spending time with my family. I love getting up early, traveling, and maintaining a carefully curated window of plants.
