Clare & Colton | Bar Harbor Club Wedding

Clare & Colton, where do we even begin? 

Upon meeting Clare & Colton at their engagement session, we instantly felt connected. They are two of the most genuine and kind humans and you can feel the love they have for each other. The big smiles, snuggles, and laughter made them such a joy to capture and we we’re so excited leading up to their wedding weekend. 

On the beautiful coast of Maine in Bar Harbor, Clare & Colton began their weekend celebration with a lobster bake on the patio and heartfelt toasts from family and friends. They continued the celebration at the pool house as the sun set and guests from near and far gathered for drinks and late night food. 

On the morning of the wedding day, Cole and I woke up so inspired to shoot their wedding. It’s couples and creative teams like this that light us up and fuel our creativity. 

Clare’s chill nature as she popped bottles of bubbly and Colton hung out with his groomsmen getting ready at the Pool House. The day moved with ease so that the couple could truly enjoy each moment together. They shared a sun filled first look and oceanfront portraits and made time for family and wedding party photos pre-ceremony so they could enjoy cocktail hour with their guests. 

The ceremony was inside The Bar Harbor Club and the creative team completely transformed the space. Breathtaking is the only word that comes to mind with the abundant florals and lighting shadows. C&C exchanged vows, sang with their guests, and said I Do before making their way to the rest of the celebration. 

Under the clear frame tent, Pinch Me Planning brought to life a timeless coastal design with the couple’s personality seamlessly integrated. Blue decor and lighting, the sailboat seating chart and our favorite design detail- the speakeasy inspired bar which was revealed to the guests during the reception. We love how Clare & Colton weaved in thoughtful elements into their day like the speakeasy or Clare wearing her Mom’s wedding dress for rehearsal dinner. It truly added such a personal touch to their overall day.  

Our hearts were so full as we watched the packed full dance floor party the night away. This full weekend of celebrations was an absolute dream to be a part of and we are so grateful for Clare & Colton for sharing their love story with us.
