We were married within 3 months of our first date. “When you know, you know”, they say, and when we knew we wed. Something we bonded over early on was our love for traveling with cameras.
After our courthouse-by-the-sea elopement, we settled in NYC and then Mount Desert Island, where we turned our passion for photography into a business.
We love how the small seemingly insignificant moments can hold so much beauty when we stop and look at them closely.
We look forward to finding and illuminating those moments with you and your loved ones.

About Brian
I'm happiest exploring the highest and lowest places on earth, be it hiking up Mount Fuji or snorkeling the depths of the East China Sea. When not traveling or working on photography, I'm usually at home growing bonsai trees, tending to orchids, brewing ridiculously strong craft beer (and a damn good ginger beer, if I do say so myself).
Hailing from NY, I was in the Marines before settling in NYC and then Maine, where I spend as much time outside as possible. In all areas of life, I believe in action over passivity and creating art from authentic experience. I bring friendly technicality to a shoot, and I'm always excited to share tricks and tips on capturing that special moment with each client.
About Laurel
When I’m not taking photos, I'm also a poet, a teacher, a Libra, a vegetarian-except-for-bacon, a pianist, and a travel agent. I love huge turquoise jewelry, coconut oil, and making to-do lists. I bring attention to detail to our shoots, managing the behind-the-scenes of Aquadro Photography so you can relax and enjoy your experience.
Born and raised in photogenic New England, I spent 15 years in NYC before making the move to Maine. I love traveling and am lucky enough to count Spain, Okinawa, Iceland, Argentina, and Mexico among some of the places I’ve made memories. I'm passionate about absorbing every moment (especially if cheese is involved) and translating each one onto paper, film, and collaboration with Brian, friends, and awesome people like you!
