Rain Engagement at Ferry Beach

There is a common misconception that rain ruins a photo session, but a light drizzle at Ferry Beach actually provides a tonal richness that a sunny day simply can’t match. For this engagement session, the mist acted as a natural softbox, blurring the horizon where the Saco Bay meets the sky and creating a private, cinematic world for the couple. By embracing the damp air and the soft, flat light, we were able to capture portraits that felt incredibly intimate and high-fashion without a single distracting prop. Instead of fighting the weather, we leaned into the romance of the "wet look"—the salt air, the darker textures of the sand, and the vibrant greens of the tupelo trees. It was a perfect example of why you should never cancel for a little Maine weather; when you stop worrying about staying dry and start focusing on each other, the results are pure magic.
