Weather Considerations When Planning a Maine Wedding

Maine’s seasons each offer their own unique charm, and choosing the right time of year depends on your wedding vision and preferences.
  • Spring (April – June) – Spring weddings in Maine feature blooming flowers and cooler temperatures, but early spring can be unpredictable with lingering snow and rain. By June, the weather warms up, making it a great time for coastal and garden weddings.
  • Summer (July – August) – A popular wedding season, summer offers warm temperatures, sunny skies, and the best chance for an outdoor celebration. Coastal areas like Bar Harbor and Kennebunkport are in peak season, so booking early is essential.
  • Fall (September – October) – Maine’s fall foliage is legendary, making autumn a stunning choice for a wedding. The crisp air and vibrant colors of Acadia National Park and Western Maine’s mountains create a breathtaking setting for ceremonies and photos.
  • Winter (November – March) – For couples who love the magic of snow-covered landscapes, a winter wedding in Maine can be cozy and intimate. Ski resorts and rustic lodges provide a perfect setting, and off-season pricing can be a great bonus.

Planning Tips for Your Maine Wedding

To make your Maine wedding stress-free, consider these key planning tips:

  • Book Early – Maine is a popular wedding destination, especially in the summer and fall. Secure your venue and vendors at least a year in advance.
  • Prepare for Changing Weather – Maine’s coastal and mountain weather can be unpredictable. Have a backup plan for outdoor ceremonies and consider venues with indoor options. Considering adding a tent, just in case.
  • Embrace Local Culture – Incorporate Maine’s charm into your wedding with fresh seafood, whoopie pies, and locally brewed craft beer.
  • Consider Guest Travel & Lodging – Many areas, especially in coastal or rural Maine, have limited accommodations, so block hotel rooms or suggest rentals early.

Whether you’re dreaming of an oceanfront ceremony, a charming barn reception, or a mountaintop elopement, Maine offers the perfect setting to bring your wedding vision to life.

Notes from our clients…

Look No Further!

My husband and I are forever grateful that our path crossed with Nick and Life in Focus while planning our coastal wedding. Nick is extremely talented, easy to communicate with and his eye for capturing special moments that take place during a busy wedding day is incredible. Nick does not miss a beat. His recordings of our officiant, our vows and speeches came out crisp and clear even during our windy beach ceremony. We rewatch our wedding video and the trailer video often and enjoy sharing it with our friends and families during gatherings. If you are looking for a wedding videographer (and photographer) look no further.

Treasured piece of our special day!

I consider myself so blessed to have found Nick with Life In Focus to capture our most magical day in Bar Harbor, Maine! It was an absolute blast working with Nick, and the final product, our complete wedding video, turned out to be the most treasured piece of our special day! Our wedding was wonderful, but once it’s over and the day has past, we are left with memories, which with age, sometimes fade as well. To have our wedding day, “Our Maine Event”, set in motion on demand with just a click to bring us back and to treasure always is a precious gift. We are forever grateful to you for your professional and creative work!

Look no further!

Nick and Life In Focus was an absolutely top shelf, 5 star, videographer. He was unobtrusive, but was truly everywhere. He captured every big and little moment of our daughter’s wedding. He worked well with our photographers, the wedding planner, and DJ – they were quite the A Team. Look no further for a videographer. You will be glad you did.

– Anna & Drew

Highly recommend to others!

We are so thankful that we found Life in Focus Weddings! Nick came to us highly recommended by our photographers so we felt confident we were in good hands and that he knew the venue and other vendors in our wedding. Before the wedding, Nick worked with us to make sure our timeline for the day would flow well and that he knew where to be and when. He arrived early the day of the wedding and seamlessly worked to get footage of both of us before the wedding. We are so happy to say how wonderful Life in Focus Weddings is and would highly recommend to others!”

– Rachel & Will

A decision you won't regret!

Like many others, we were on the fence as to whether we wanted to hire a videographer for our wedding. We can’t believe we even questioned it after seeing our videos. We shared the trailer with friends, and direct quotes from them included it was the best wedding video they had ever seen, they cried all over again, and it was like a fairytale Nick, thank you so much for capturing our day and turning it into something we will watch over and over again!

– Shailey & Graham

Thank you again and we highly recommend them!
