Happy Fourth! Today we're sharing Katie and Tyler's beautiful summer wedding in Peaks Island, Maine.

Katie and Tyler knew they’d found just the right wedding venue on their very first site visit, to The Inn on Peaks Island. “It hit everything we wanted,” says Katie, noting the beautiful location, the good seafood options for their catering, the picturesque on-site gazebo, and the fact that wedding coordinator Jayson was great to work with. “We also loved that we could book out The Inn for guests, and that most of our family lives close by.” The fact that Katie’s parents once lived on the small island—which is only accessible by ferry—made the venue even more special.

Katie went for the full ball-gown look for her dress, which she says carried out the vibe of “elegance, but with a beach feel.” She adds, “I wanted a dress that was big, poufy, and sparkly—something I would never wear again. I absolutely loved the flow and the lacy off-the-shoulder sleeves.” Her bridesmaids and husband-to-be wore shades of blue, the couple’s favorite color.

“I’m glad we didn’t do a first look,” says Katie. “I loved walking down the aisle with my dad and having that classic moment of seeing each other for the first time. It was very surreal and intense.” She adds that the perfect August weather and a gorgeous sunset topped off the couple’s incredible day.

Beautifully captured by Kate Preftakes Photography, the shoot blends wild natural beauty with romantic details — from delicate florals to the magic of wandering the grounds among the animals. It’s a joyful reminder that love stories can be celebrated anywhere — even in the most unexpected (and wonderfully whimsical) places.

We are very proud to share Hannah Ellis and Tyler Robinson's story, the winners of "The Best of Seacoast Weddings, 2026!"

For this Chicago-based couple, returning to Maine for their wedding was the natural choice. Tyler grew up in Falmouth, and he and Hannah visited his parents there twice a year. “We’d take walks at Bug Light Park,” says Hannah, “so it’s a special place for us. And we wanted to do a Portland day for our guests.” That included an oyster-farm tour for family and wedding party on Friday, complete with freshly shucked oysters for a Seacoast treat.

Whimsical touches were everywhere at their wedding reception. From the martini tower and suspended “flower clouds” to mid-century-modern paper lanterns and custom napkins imprinted with Taylor Swift quotes, the day was all about kitschy fun. That included wedding-day transportation in a vintage Buick, a rental from the Maine Classic Car Museum in Arundel. “That was my dad’s idea. He used to work for GM and wanted a Buick,” says Hannah. And since she’s from Michigan, known for its cherries, Hannah had cherries accenting her wedding cake.

Her gown was a serendipitous choice, she says. “I had no idea what I wanted, and the salon just brings you dresses to try based on your input. I wanted to be comfortable and feel like myself, and this dress fit that perfectly.” Hannah says she had the sleeves added separately. “I also loved the freedom of the leg slit in front.” And the couple’s favorite memory of the day? “Our first dance,” says Hannah. “It was the perfect time, when we were so focused on each other.”
