Bar Harbor is a truly spectacular destination for a wedding. Getting there always feels like a bit of a challenge but as soon as you get out of your car the place starts working its magic. It’s no wonder so many couples chose Bar Harbor for their destination weddings. Tory and Jobey had an extra connection to the place. Jobey grew up spending his summers at nearby Camp Robin Hood. So they chose the Bar Harbor Club as the venue for their August wedding and invited their closest friends and family for a fabulous celebration.

Tory and Jobey chose to have all of the formal wedding photos done before the ceremony. Neither of them were keen to spend a ton of time in the spotlight, so it made sense to get everything done before the guests arrived.  It also made for a relaxed start to the day and meant that Tory and Jobey were able to greet all of their guests during cocktail hour.

Tory was stunning in her Nicole Miller gown. She’s a natural in front of the camera and gave me one beautiful image after another. Together, she and Jobey kept it light and fun. After the ceremony the guests soaked up the long rays of sunshine and beautiful scenery from the patio of the BHC. As the sun set everyone moved into the ballroom and celebrated with the happy couple late into the evening. The night was complete with emotional and funny toasts, a delicious meal (have you had to BHC’s popovers and strawberry jam — combined, they are divine!), and a wild dance floor.

Best wishes to Tory and Jobey! Many thanks to them and to their friends and family for the warm welcome. It was a true pleasure to meet you all.
