You know how they say rain on your wedding day means good luck? Well Jen and Mike are in for a lifetime of good fortune, because it absoloutley poured on their wedding day at the Bar Harbor Inn! We were able to sneak outside during the less-rainy bits, though, and took some incredible portraits (make sure you scroll through to the end!). Their wedding marked a decade of love + friendship together, and I’m so happy to have been there to capture everything :)
