Compared to most U.S. locations, Maine has a a gorgeous, but short wedding season— typically from June to October. There are only so many possible weekend dates within that period of time. We are fortunate to have so many brides make Maine their destination wedding location. A lot my clients grow up vacationing in Maine with their families as youngsters, then return to marry for the fond memories and our exquisite beaches and outstanding coastal resorts. Maine really is the greatest place on earth to through a wedding!
Demand is high for Maine wedding venues and Maine resorts. Secure your desired Maine wedding location at least a year out. If you are booking a holiday weekend here, think about reserving your key wedding arrangements over a year and a half out. Lock up that wedding date with your ceremony and reception site, then immediately hire a fabulous photographer, reserve catering (if not already included at your venue) and grab your entertainment. These wedding vendors book very quickly. The other details are easier to nail down.
In Maine, great photographers fill up fast! Photographers usually take a limited number of wedding client each year. If you’re like my clients and photography is a top priority, don’t wait. Most photographers and studios require a contract and non-refundable retainer fee to book. There may be a bonus for booking early too, so don’t be shy to ask. If you are getting married in 2011, it is time to make your reservations!
Our Blush Imagery pricing guide for 2011 weddings is online now. Contact me to receive it! We are already booking all three of our photographers, myself included, and it’s shaping up to be a wonderful 2011 wedding season! We will also secure dates for 2012. (And yes, brides are already shopping!) Come in for a consultation at our downtown Portland, Maine studio, email us or feel free to call me at 207-899-5585. Happy shopping, Beth
