I believe your love deserves to be remembered exactly as it felt — the laughter, the quiet, the wind in your hair, and every in-between moment that makes your story yours. My work is grounded in honesty and inspired by the wild beauty of the Maine coast. Whether your day is spent barefoot in the sand or on a trail surrounded by pines, my goal is to capture it all as it unfolds, effortlessly and with heart.
For love that’s honest, effortless, and meant to be remembered

I’m Destiny, a photographer, traveler, and lover of quiet, unscripted moments. I feel at home where the waves meet the rocks, the air smells like salt, and a camera is always within reach.
After years following light across coastlines and hidden corners, Acadia became the place I return to again and again. It is where I help couples slow down, breathe, and celebrate the start of their story in a way that feels honest and unforgettable. My work is inspired by the small gestures, fleeting glances, and laughter that happen when no one is watching.
If you love laughter, adventure, and moments that feel like you, we will get along just fine.

Destiny is amazing to work with! She is so genuine and makes you feel comfortable the moment you meet her. The whole experience is fun, natural and our pictures turned out better than we could've imagined. We are so grateful and would recommend her to anyone.

"You were so easy to work with."
We had the most amazing experience working with Destiny! We booked a maternity session in Acadia, the photos came out amazing... butter than we could have imagined. We wanted something special to announce our pregnancy, she captured every moment so perfectly, candidly and exactly the vibe we were aiming for. Beyond her incredible talent, she was so sweet, patient and easy to work with, which made the whole session feel relaxed and fun.

"I was practically crying as I was looking through them."
Destiny shot our engagement photos during vacation in Bar Harbor, ME. Not only were the photos everything and more that we hoped for, but her communication throughout the whole process was wonderful. She truly is one of the best!

Most couples reach out about 6–9 months before their date, especially if they’re planning for summer or fall. I only take on a limited number of weddings and elopements each year so I can give every couple my full attention, so the sooner you inquire, the better chance your date will be available.
How far in advance should we book?
Absolutely. Once you book, I’ll send a custom location guide based on your vision and the type of scenery that feels most you. Whether you picture a rugged cliffside, a quiet forest clearing, or a stretch of Oregon coastline with golden light, I’ll help you find the spot that fits perfectly. I’ll also help you navigate permits, accessibility, and timing to make sure everything runs smoothly.
Do you help with location scouting?
Your full gallery will be delivered within 6–8 weeks, but I always send a preview gallery within the first few days after your wedding or elopement — because I know how hard it is to wait. Every photo is hand-edited with care to reflect the warmth, tone, and emotion of your day, so you’ll receive a collection that truly feels like your story.
What’s your turnaround time?
Yes! I’m based in Maine but love to travel and photograph couples all over the world. Whether it’s a mountaintop in Colorado, a villa in Italy, or a tucked-away beach in Hawaii, I approach each destination with the same heart and intention. Travel is always quoted transparently, and I waive fees for certain dream locations that are already on my upcoming travel list.
Do you photograph destination weddings?
Once you’re ready, you can submit an inquiry through my contact form and I’ll get back to you within 1–2 business days. From there, we’ll talk through your vision. When you’re ready to move forward, I’ll send over your proposal, contract, and deposit to officially reserve your date. After that, we’ll dive right into the fun part — planning!
How do we book?
I want your experience to feel easy, intentional, and enjoyable from the very beginning. From our first conversation to your final gallery delivery, my goal is to create an atmosphere where you can truly relax and be yourselves. I’ll guide you through location ideas, timelines, and little details that help everything flow naturally.
