Portland Harbor Hotel Wedding Photography in Portland Maine with Courtney and Chris

Courtney & Chris’ High-Energy Wedding at the Portland Harbor Hotel. A small gathering, but massive in personality.

When I say this wedding was a blast—I mean it. Courtney and Chris threw one of the most fun, high-energy celebrations I’ve ever photographed, and they did it all on an intimate scale. Set in the heart of Portland, Maine at the beautiful Portland Harbor Hotel, this wedding was proof that small doesn’t mean quiet.

From the moment I met Courtney and Chris, I knew their day was going to be different. They had that “we’re here for a good time” energy that’s contagious in the best way possible. They kept things relaxed, focused on the people who mattered most, and turned up the volume when it came to celebrating.

The Portland Harbor Hotel was the perfect setting—stylish, cozy, and right in the middle of the Old Port charm. The ceremony was heartfelt and personal, with just the right amount of laughter mixed in (a theme for the entire day). Once the vows were exchanged, the real party kicked off.

And let me tell you… these two know how to party. Think spontaneous dance-offs, heartfelt toasts that turned into roasts, and laughter that never seemed to stop. Every moment was full of personality and joy—the kind of wedding that reminds you exactly why you love this job.

Courtney wore a sleek, modern dress that perfectly matched her bold spirit, and Chris kept things cool and classic with just a hint of rock 'n roll. Together, they were electric. It wasn’t about the frills—it was about fun, family, and being fully present.

This wedding is a great reminder that your day doesn’t need to follow any rules. Make it yours. Be loud, be weird, be wildly in love—and do it in a place that feels right. That’s exactly what Courtney and Chris did, and it was magic from start to finish.

Cheers to these two legends. Thank you for letting me be part of such an unforgettable day.
