When it comes to choosing the perfect summer wedding location, coastal venues are hard to beat. That’s exactly why Mikayla and Mike went with a Beauport Gloucester wedding for their big day. With killer ocean views, a salty sea breeze, and that perfect mix of elegance and coastal charm, Beauport is hands down one of the best spots to tie the knot.
Getting Ready
One of the best parts of the day? They both got ready at the Beauport Hotel, major win. The rooms are gorgeous, the vibe was relaxed, and it made everything so much easier.
The guys kicked things off with “game day photos,” fully leaning into the hype. Seriously, they had a blast, and it set the tone for the whole day. Meanwhile, the girls were in full wedding morning mode, music on, champagne popping, just soaking in all the excitement.
No First Look, No Problem
Mikayla and Mike skipped the first look, which meant getting creative with wedding party photos before the ceremony. We did separate shots for each side, making sure they didn’t cross paths, a little chaotic, but totally worth it. And let’s be real, the moment they finally saw each other at the altar made it all worth it.
The Ceremony – A First Look Worth Waiting For
Mike’s reaction when he saw Mikayla? She took his breath away. These two have been together since high school, so this moment was years in the making, and you could feel the love from everyone there. Add in that insane ocean backdrop, and yeah, it was something special.
Portraits & Classic Beauport Wedding Moments
After the ceremony, we knocked out family photos, wedding party pics, and then headed to the beach for some just-married portraits. Golden hour, ocean breeze, two people crazy in love, it doesn’t get better than that.
And, of course, we had to do the classic Beauport wedding photos in front of the Beauport bus and sign, if you know, you know.
The Reception – Absolute Chaos (In the Best Way)
By the time the reception started, it was ON. The dance floor was packed from the jump, shoes were off, drinks were spilling, and nobody was holding back. Just pure, unfiltered celebration. This crew knew how to party, and they went all in from start to finish.
The Details
Last but not least the details. Mikayla’s carefully styled flat lays (rings, invites, all the pretty things), the gorgeous reception setup, the candlelit tables, and just an overall dreamy, romantic vibe. Every little piece came together perfectly, and it was awesome to see their vision come to life.
Mikayla and Mike’s Beauport Gloucester wedding was everything a summer wedding should be, emotional, wild, and full of love.
