Maine & NH Wedding Photographer | Why I’m Basically Built for Spooky Season Weddings

Every year when fall hits and the air gets sharp and dramatic, my inbox starts filling up with September, October and November couples.

And honestly?
That tracks.

If you’re planning a wedding in peak spooky season, I might actually be your girl.

First of all, the moody style. Obviously.

I don’t chase bright and airy. I don’t bleach the life out of shadows. I lean into depth. Contrast. Drama. The kind of tones that make candlelight glow and black details feel intentional instead of flat.

Spooky season weddings deserve that energy.

Then there’s lighting.

This time of year, the sun sets earlier. Venues get darker. Candles, fireplaces, string lights — that’s the vibe. And instead of panicking about low light, I build it. I shape it. I make it work in your favor.

Dark venues don’t scare me. It’s where I do my best work.

Stormy skies? Incredible.
Fog rolling in? Even better.
A ceremony lit by candles? Let’s go.

And can we talk about locations?

Give me:

• a dark old mansion with creaky floors

• a historic inn with low ceilings and flickering sconces

• a stone venue that looks mildly haunted

• an actual castle that feels like it has stories

I thrive in spaces with character. Texture. A little edge.

Spooky season weddings aren’t about pastel florals and midday sun. They’re about atmosphere. They’re about leaning into rich colors, velvet, black details, deep reds, dark greens, and gold accents that feel luxurious instead of loud.

And that’s exactly where my style lives.

The photos don’t just document the day — they feel like the season. Like October air. Like something cinematic instead of something trendy.

So if you’re planning a wedding that feels a little dramatic, a little unconventional, maybe slightly witchy in the best way?

Yeah.
I’m probably your photographer.

Spooky season isn’t a challenge for me.

It’s home.
