Our Wedding

Our Story

This is our very first photo together, taken the day after we met — right after our group hiked the Beehive Trail in Acadia National Park. A day full of adventure and the start of something special.

This photo was taken right after Mitchell asked me to be his girlfriend — in a quiet little park in Belfast. One of the best moments, in one of the sweetest places. 💛

Bride

Kayla has always been more than a sister—she's my fiercest supporter, my voice of reason, and my ride-or-die. Even when we’ve disagreed, her love and loyalty never falter. She shows up, speaks truth, and has my back no matter what. Simply put: she's a total badass, and I couldn’t imagine doing this without her.

Kayla 

Giorgia may be my sister-in-law, but she’s truly become another sister to me. From going to prom together (twice!) to now standing by my side on my wedding day, she’s been there for so many unforgettable moments. Her love, laughter, and constant support mean the world to me—I’m so lucky to have her in my life.

Giorgia 

Savanna and I met through the chaos of a job we both couldn’t wait to escape, and we’ve been inseparable ever since. What started as a little trauma bonding turned into a friendship I truly can’t imagine life without. She’s one of the strongest people I know — someone who can persevere through just about anything. She’s been by my side through so much, and I’m so lucky to have her there again on one of the biggest days of my life.

Savanna 

Isabel and I go way back to elementary school — we’ve seen each other through every awkward phase and somehow came out laughing. We got especially close in high school through soccer, track, and countless hilarious memories. She’s always down for a good time, gives the best advice, and knows how to make any moment fun. I’m so lucky to have her by my side on this special day!

Isabel

Cam and I have known each other since we were five — started school together in kindergarten and have been tight ever since. He’s loyal and kind-hearted, always steady. Loves beer, cigars, golf, and has a real appreciation for nature. Also, big fan of his cat, Archie. Oh, and he knows George Bush (pictured above).

Groom

Brandon — loyal to the core, first in line for a hot dog, last one off the disc golf course. A true ripper of discs and rider of good vibes. You’ll find him where the grass is green, the dogs are hot, and the small-town spirit runs deep. Big townie energy, bigger heart.

Brandon

Kyle and I go way back — all the way to 2nd grade. First time he came over, he nearly choked to death on cranberry juice. I genuinely thought I was about to lose my new best friend right there in my kitchen. But he powered through, and we’ve been tight ever since. Kyle’s one of the most loyal, caring people I know. Just easy to be around — no effort, no drama, just good vibes and real friendship. One of the greats.

Kyle 

Hans Julius Bucher has always been a steady presence in the group — someone who naturally brings people together and helps keep things solid. A big part of why we all became close, and definitely a reason we’ve stayed that way. He’s sharp, funny, and gives a damn in a way that shows. Not loud about it, just real.

Julius 

Alden’s squirelly in a way that keeps things interesting — sharp, restless, always moving. He’s got great taste in books and somehow always knows the right thing to say or do. Quietly helpful, never showy about it. Being around him just feels solid — like you can let your guard down.

Alden 

Rory’s chaotic in a way that keeps things unpredictable — you never really know what’s coming next. But behind all that is someone genuinely sharp and quick-witted. He moves fast, thinks faster, and always keeps the conversation interesting.

Rory

Dan might be the most interesting person you’ll meet — no exaggeration. He’s into a lot of weird, specific things, and somehow makes all of them sound worth knowing about. If you’re at the wedding, track him down and ask him something strange. We often take long sunset walks together.

Andrew is basically a walking encyclopedia when it comes to sports. He drinks a lot of Dr. Pepper, keeps up with all the local drama, and works a job no one really understands.

Andrew

Momo’s Cheesecakes in Ellsworth is always a hit — and it’s open 24/7! Whether it’s a late-night snack or a mid-day treat, you really can’t go wrong.

Disc golf is fun. This place is ok.

Acadia Disc Golf at Hapana DGC

Acadia National Park is just a short drive away and totally worth the trip. It’s a beautiful mix of ocean views, rocky coastlines, forests, and mountains. You can hike, bike, drive the scenic loop, or just find a quiet spot to take in the views. Cadillac Mountain is a favorite — especially at sunrise! Whether you're into outdoor adventures or just want a peaceful place to explore, Acadia’s a great local gem.A little personal favorite:The Beehive Trail is a short but exciting hike with iron rungs and amazing views at the top. It’s actually the trail our group hiked the weekend Mitchell and I first met — so it holds a special place in our hearts. If you’re up for a bit of a climb and some epic photo ops, definitely check it out!

Acadia National Park

If you’re up for a little exploring, Bar Harbor is a cute coastal town just outside Acadia with lots to offer. There are tons of local shops, restaurants, cafes, and spots to grab a lobster roll (or two). The views of the harbor are gorgeous, especially around sunset. Just a heads up — it’s a popular stop for tourists, so it can get pretty busy during peak hours. But if you don’t mind a crowd, it’s a great place to walk around, eat, and soak up the classic Maine vibe.
