Before the champagne toasts, before the packed dance floor, and even before the first look — this day already felt special. Kiana and Brandon’s wedding at The View at Pepperrell Cove was full of easy laughter, sea air, and a sweet joy.
October on the Maine coast gifted us the most beautiful light. Crisp air, soft breezes off the water, and a cotton-candy sunset that felt almost too perfect to be real. It was the kind of day that made you pause just to soak it all in.
But what made this day unforgettable wasn’t just the view. It was their story — and the two golden retrievers who were right in the middle of it.
From the moment the morning began, laughter echoed through the getting-ready suite as the girls slipped into their personalized robes, sharing champagne, highlighter, and excitement. Later, down by the water, Brandon waited for one of the sweetest first looks, not just with his bride, but with their pups, tails wagging and eyes sparkling as if they knew this was their big moment too.
Those two goldens trotted proudly through the ceremony, walked down the aisle by the best man and maid of honor, completely stealing the show in the best possible way. Family, loyalty, joy, and love wrapped up in fur and golden light.
As the sun dipped below the horizon, the sky turned shades of pink and lavender that mirrored the gentle calm of the water below. It was breathtaking — the kind of sunset that makes you understand why couples choose to promise forever right there by the sea.
And when the music started? The calm turned into celebration. The dance floor stayed packed all night long, full of singing, loud laughter, and the kind of joy that only happens when everyone you love is in one room, celebrating something truly beautiful.
Kiana and Brandon, your day was everything I hope for every couple — meaningful, joyful, perfectly you. From the golden retrievers to the golden light, every part of your story glowed with warmth. Thank you for letting me capture it all.
