MAINE WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY​

Timeless, emotive imagery for your intimate wedding or elopement.

Encircled by the warmth of family and friends, food that’s shared over big tables, and the sound of conversations that tumble into laughter. A day of sea salt breezes and sun-warmed skin that culminate in a cozy evening of campfires and clambakes.

​My documentary approach captures all the real and raw goodness of your unique day: the ways in which you live and love, the quiet moments shared, and the incredible natural scenery that makes Maine magical.

You’re seeking a wedding day that feels genuine and imagery that matches the natural feel and deeper emotion of the day, without elaborate orchestration or artificial posing.

My goal, always, is to create images that move you.

It begins the very first time we talk. As we build a real relationship, I’ll learn what matters most to you. So, on your wedding day, I’ll know exactly how to best document these memories, and you’ll have space to simply enjoy your day.

My unobtrusive approach to wedding day photography pairs beautifully with the type of celebration that is:

  • Purposefully intimate

  • Relaxed but full of emotion

  • Focused on heartfelt rituals

  • Celebrated with authenticity

  • Surrounded by love and nature

  • Curated with details that emphasize quality, beauty, and meaning.

These weddings offer a breath of fresh air in a world saturated with Pinterest images and social media reels. You're a couple who honors what feels true to you.

This is the art of effortless photography, surrounded by the sort of unreal beauty you’ll only find in Maine

Something magical happens once you cross the border. The billboards disappear, the world comes alive, and the noise of life grows quiet. Maine is the sound of waves against a rocky shore and the whisper of wind through the trees. It’s mountain lakes, lobster boils, and the freedom to roam.

Almost every couple I work with has a connection to Maine, whether that’s Midcoast, Down East, or the western lakes and mountains. This is just the sort of place that calls you back over and over. It’s a chance to replace banquet halls with beaches and crunched timelines with crisp fall air.

Maine’s unspoiled landscape adds an unforgettable sense of place to your day.

Beyond thrilled!

Liz photographed our October 2024 wedding, and we could not have been happier. We knew immediately upon viewing her portfolio that her style and attention to detail were exactly what we were looking for, and our initial meeting with her solidified that. It felt like a huge weight had been lifted after we had her officially booked to shoot our wedding.

Throughout the whole process, Liz was consistently professional, organized, and responsive. On our wedding day, she brought such a calm, reassuring presence that helped us both feel at ease. Everything was delivered within the expected timeframe. I can't articulate how happy we are with the gallery. It's stunning. She managed to capture everything we requested, along with so many authentic, candid moments that we will cherish for the rest of our lives.

Amazing to work with & Stunning Photos!

Choosing a photographer to capture the most important and special day of your lives can be stressful and intimidating, but choosing Liz to be there for our wedding and engagement shoot beforehand was one of the best decisions we’ve made. From our first meeting to learn about each other, Liz was very obviously invested in what we wanted captured, listened to our ideas, concerns, and thought processes for how we wanted our wedding day to unfold. Her planning and organization made it easy for us to show up and not worry about things staying on schedule, getting all the shots we wanted, and also using her expertise to get the most out of us, the light, and the location. Even before she started capturing the most important moments for us, she made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. We couldn’t be happier with how beautifully our engagement and wedding day photos came out. Our favorite memories were captured so thoughtfully and are everything we could have hoped for, and more.

Incredible Wedding Photographer

Liz was amazing to work with throughout our entire wedding process. She was very responsive and organized in the planning phase of things and helped to alleviate so much stress leading up to the big day! On our wedding day, Liz was a very calming presence and she was extremely adaptable to all of our last minute photo requests and timeline changes. She sent us a photo sneak peak within 24 hours and we are so in love already with the pictures she captured. We can't wait to see the rest!! I 100000% recommend her photography services to any couple or family. Thank you Liz!

Rainy day photo perfection!

Finding the perfect photographer for your wedding can be a difficult thing because they are photos you plan to cherish forever. Liz was the perfect photographer for us. From the start, with our first consultation, she was interested in what we wanted from our photos and made us feel comfortable. Leading up to the wedding she was very easy to communicate with, and helped us put together a schedule for our day, making everything flow very smoothly.

On the day of the wedding we had a lot of rain but Liz knew how to make the most of it. She found the perfect indoor spots for beautiful photos and even toughed out the rain with us for a while. The photos in the rain came out magical, we love them so much, and have received so many compliments on them.

Overall, we would recommend Liz time and time again. She is not only a great photographer but she is a kind person who is easy to talk to and wonderful to work with. She has not only done our wedding, but two other weddings in our family, which says a lot about how highly we recommend her.

Thank you, Liz, for your amazing work! We wouldn’t change a thing about our rainy day!

Wonderful Experience Working with Elizabeth Ivy Photography

It was a very lucky day when we stumbled upon Elizabeth Ivy Photography last year while planning an out-of-state elopement to Maine. After reviewing endless photography websites, we choose Liz because her photos were unique, personal and artful. Also, her personality seemed sincere and down to earth. We were not disappointed! Liz worked so hard in helping us plan our day and pick the perfect spots to visit. She really listened and asked questions to understand our expectations for our day. She didn’t blink an eye when we changed course two months before our wedding day and relocated to an entirely different area of Maine. She responded by sending us fresh options and even went out of her way to research some new sites. I can’t begin to imagine the amount of time she put into helping us plan our day. We felt she really listened to us explain why we are drawn to Maine as visitors and worked hard to incorporate the scenery/features we described as our favorites. When we finally met her in person on the morning of the wedding, it felt as though we were meeting up with an old friend. We don’t enjoy being in front of a camera, but Liz made us feel at ease and most of the time we didn’t realize she was snapping away. We enjoyed having Liz along – she was flexible and accommodating. As promised, Liz sent us a small sampling of the photos the very next day via text which we were able to share with family back home to announce our elopement! We were even more pleased when the full set arrived a few weeks later. She captured so many of the beautiful qualities of Maine that we had chatted about, funny candid shots, and the tender moments that bring us back to the feelings of the day. We wanted our photos to capture the scenery just as much as we wanted images of us enjoying the day. Liz got it right! It’s the perfect mix. We love our collection of photos and are thankful we met such a sweet and talented person. We recommend Elizabeth Ivy Photography for any couple who wants to work with a skilled professional dedicated to getting to know you before the big day and learn what will thrill you when your photos arrive.

Absolute Perfection

We could not recommend Liz’s services enough! We had a micro wedding in Acadia National Park on October of 2023.

We had a unique situation and unfortunately Liz was sick during our elopement. However, she took care of everything and our wedding was absolute perfection.

Liz met with us several times leading up to the day, easing our worries and answering all our questions - we’re from Florida and had never been to Maine (we picked the spot off of some pictures from Pinterest one random late night). When we found out she would not be able to shoot our wedding, we were devastated and nervous, but we honestly had nothing to worry about. Liz completely mapped out our day, pictures and maps, little suggestions for photo opportunities and got another awesome photographer to cover for her. Liz has extremely high standards and amazing taste! She found someone that could shoot like her and worked with him to give us an incredible day. Liz was also going to be our officiant, and so she found an awesome replacement. Everyone was so friendly and made the day so wonderful.

After the wedding was done and we were finally home we met with Liz to get our final edited photos. She was so quick with it and the final edits and album experience was breathtaking. The colors popped and she made what was an already beautiful experience even more lovely.

We highly recommend Liz, she’s incredible and without her help, I just don’t think the day would have been as memorable. Having never been to Maine or Acadia National Park we relied heavily on her past experience and the knowledge she had. In the words of my dad, “each place was prettier than the last.” We would not change a thing about our special day, it was absolute perfection.

Simply the Best

“Simply the Best. Better than all the rest”

Those may have been the words heard by our guests as Andrew and I walked down the aisle. But more importantly, it only begins to describe the appreciation and good fortune we have in finding and hiring Liz to be our wedding photographer.

Neither Andrew and I are necessarily drivers of our own attention, and coming up with a plan for how to have our photos shot wasn’t easy! However, from our first virtual meeting, Liz knew how to make us comfortable so that we could be ourselves around her and her camera. We were drawn to her warm smile, ability to capture unique moments, and bring the atmosphere of the surroundings into each photo.

Liz is an organized, cool, and calm companion that you’ll love having at your side. Her confidence and organization ensured that of all the logistics, finalizing details for photography were the last thing we needed to worry about. Indeed, on the day of the wedding, as the stage was set for “first looks” (HIGHLY recommend, even if you’re skeptical), seeing Liz’s warm glow and smile just helped set a tone for how special that day can be for a couple. From then on, we let her lead the way, and we were overwhelmed with gratitude for her steady hand, sharp eye, and ability to get the right shot.

We were excited to receive our photos, but we didn’t expect how a photo could so easily bring us back to that special day. A slight tease of the photos came the day after the wedding, which was so fun. But the delivery of the photos came with us all seeing them together for the first time over a zoom meeting, which only showed how much she truly cares and takes pride in her work. Now, the difficult part…choosing photos for print!

We couldn’t be happier to have found Elizabeth-Ivy Photography, and would recommend her without reservation. Thank you, Liz!

We are so happy with our shoot!

We really enjoyed working with Liz for our elopement. She helped us come up with creative shoot ideas and was super flexible, professional, and fun. She worked with us even after we changed our elopement date and location, and she even came up with helpful ideas about what to do in our new location. On the day of, she helped us so much in staging our photos and came up with great ideas on the spot to take advantage of the landscape and light. The photos are magical! She was so easy to work with and we are so grateful we found her!

Fantastic time working with Liz!

Liz was an absolute pleasure to work with! My wife and I went to Liz for our engagement and wedding photos and we could not have been happier with the experience. Liz not only has a great eye for creating and capturing authentic portraits and candid shots, she's also incredibly friendly, professional, and easy going.

For our engagement shoot in downtown Portland, Liz helped us feel comfortable and at ease in front of the camera right off the bat while at the same time making it a truly fun experience. She picked out a bunch of locations for shots ahead of time and had some unique ideas for photos that really showcased her creativity. Liz also seamlessly navigated both our large wedding party and some challenging transportation logistics to and from our wedding day site, all without missing a beat.

Throughout our whole time working with Liz - from our initial introductory meeting to the engagement shoot to our wedding day - she consistently went above and beyond. She really shone at curating an authentic vibe to her photos that fit our personalities. We are thrilled with the collection of photos that Liz took and we 100% recommend her to anyone!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
