When you think about Maine....


One thing that may come to mind is lobster. How many of us who live here or visit here have craved a lobster roll every summer, have purchased something with a lobster on it, or have visited a certain restaurant because we heard they make the best lobster? This couple have a sentimental attachment to Maine so when it came time to plan their wedding, they knew it needed to be unique. Enter Just Banded, a unique elopement venue which was perfect for them. Included with this elopement package, couples get to spend 3 hours aboard this beautiful boat, complete with an officiant, florals, and an expert Lobsterman. Couples can opt to pull up the traps and dine on the lobster they catch after they get off of the boat. They may also opt to hop in the water if it's a hot day!


This was my first elopement on Just Banded and I fell in love with the whole setup. The trio who facilitates the wedding are very passionate (and knowledgeable) about what they do and they made the day so relaxing and easy going. I could tell the couple was very happy with their decision for where to get married and despite some VERY bright conditions, hot weather, and lack of shade (isn't that always the way?!) we managed to get some incredible shots to tell the story of their day. If you are looking for a unique and beautiful elopement venue, then look no further than Just Banded. You can visit their website here. You can follow them on instagram here.

A note on the Just Banded Crew:


In a word- AWESOME! And I really mean that. They were so easy going and so talented in their individual and collective contributions to this elopement (and others, I'm sure). They worked together to provide an unforgettable experience for the couple.
