Our Wedding

Matt &amp; Tara met on July 3, 2012 at The Run of the Mill in Saco, Maine. It was instant chemistry, and the rest, as they say, is history!

How We Met

Matt planned a vacation to St. Thomas to celebrate Tara's graduation from The University of New England College of Osteopathic Medicine. Little did Tara know, Matt was planning the proposal all along. Matt popped the question at sunrise overlooking St. John on their first morning in paradise, and of course, she said yes! They celebrated with their parents meeting for the first time the following week in Portland, Maine while also celebrating the newly graduated doctor.

Take a two-hour day sail or custom charter to enjoy all the beauties that Penobscot Bay has to offer, such as its beautiful rocky shoreline, hidden mansions, small islands, lighthouses, seals, bald eagles, lobster boats, and other magnificent ships. Board the boats in Camden Harbor.

Take a Sail

The Camden Hills, rising over Penobscot Bay's northern shore, compete with the peaks of Mount Desert Island for the title of "Finest Coastal Hiking Area in the Northeast." The summit of Mount Battie is the most popular destination in Camden. The steep climb leads in just 0.5 mile to the summit where, from ground level or atop the stone tower, hikers can see boats bobbing in the bay. A map near the tower points out nearby and distant islands, peninsulas, and mountain peaks, making this a terrific first hike, or scenic drive, in the Camden area.

Hike Mount Battie

Part of the stone foundation from the Tamarack has been incorporated into the gardens. Visitors enjoy a formal garden that features annuals and perennials, herbs, and a variety of trees. A spacious lawn provides great spots for picnicking.
