“Laurel and Brian captured our wedding ceremony in Acadia National Park perfectly and were wonderful to work with. They made sure to meet with us prior to our wedding day to pick a location for the ceremony and photos afterwards. They knew the area so well and were professional, kind and helpful during the entire process. We would 100% recommend Aquadro Photography!”

“From the moment we met Brian for our engagement shoot in downtown Bar Harbor, we knew we had found the perfect photographer. We aren’t naturally comfortable in front of the camera, but Brian made us feel completely at ease, like we were just hanging out with a friend who happened to have a camera.
When our wedding day arrived, we were lucky enough to have both Brian and Laurel capturing every moment, and they were absolutely incredible. They blended seamlessly into our day, capturing everything with such authenticity and care. Our photos are stunningly natural, emotional, and full of life. We’re completely obsessed!
One of the most unforgettable parts of our day was sending our guests on a two-hour boat cruise for cocktail hour while we explored Acadia with Brian, chasing the most magical light and scenery. It felt like a dream, and the photos prove it. Aquadro Photography didn’t just document our wedding; they elevated the entire experience. We’re so grateful and can’t recommend them highly enough!!
Our goal from our first conversation is to make sure you enjoy every minute… even the planning!
We love tapping our Acadia network to make recommendations for anything else you might need, whether it be beautiful florals or suggested activities for your guests or the best place to get steak and lobster.
“I reached out to Brian and Laurel about doing our wedding photos and they were very quick to answer and help me out. We discussed everything I might want for my photos and they made sure to exceed my expectations. We live 14 hours away from Acadia where we wanted to get married and they were so helpful with getting everything in line for me. They created a time schedule for photos, recommended places locally for dinner. We spent the day with Brian and we both felt so comfortable with him. He did an amazing job and made sure to go above and beyond for our wedding day. I could not be happier with the sneak peak photos we have already gotten and I know the rest will be amazing! I highly recommend them for anyone looking to have photos done.”
“Hiring Aquadro Photography was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! Laurel and Brian were responsive, organized, and an absolute joy to work with. From start to finish, they exceeded all our expectations. Laurel went above and beyond by helping us choose the perfect ceremony location in Acadia National Park. She guided us to a breathtaking spot where we exchanged vows amidst majestic cliffs and the soothing sounds of crashing ocean waves. Throughout the day, she led us to various stunning locations within the park, including the serene beauty of Eagle Lake and the lush greenery of forest trails. Thanks to her expertise, we were able to fully immerse ourselves in the tranquility of Acadia, and now we have photos that beautifully capture every moment. Laurel also assisted us in creating a solid rain plan, which thankfully we didn't need, alleviating any weather-related stress. We were thrilled to receive sneak peek photos within a day of our wedding, and the full gallery was delivered so quickly. The photos are absolutely stunning, capturing not only the scenic beauty but also the genuine joy and love shared among us and our families. There were so many thoughtful touches, too many to list in one review. I truly cannot recommend Aquadro Photography highly enough. If you're seeking photographers who will not only document your day but enhance it with calm, care, and creativity, Laurel and Brian are the perfect team.”

“We got married at the City Clerk's Office in NYC, so Brian and Laurel were not only our photographers, they were our witnesses and only wedding guests. They were incredibly helpful and lots of fun to have along on our big day. They documented the entire process, then we spent a few hours taking photos around lower Manhattan. They understood our style and vibe right away, so we did a lot of simple poses with cool backgrounds. They didn't once ask us to peek lovingly around a tree, which we appreciated! The photos came back quickly as promised and were amazing. We loved all the options they provided. I would absolutely recommend them for a large wedding or a very small occasion like ours. They are total pros and really add to the wedding day experience.”
”Brian and Laurel photographed our wedding and were incredible! Really great communicators leading up to the big day, so patient on the day of, and great at corralling unwieldy family members. So many commented on how lovely they were. We just got our photos back (really quick turnaround compared to some other photographers) and they're beautiful! THANKS!!!”
