A September wedding at The View at Pepperrell Cove

Sarah and Haig knew they wanted an intimate and coastal wedding day that felt beautiful, but also welcoming. The View at Pepperrell Cove proved to have all that and more!

The venue is located right on the water with amazing coastal views and is one of my absolute favorite places to shoot weddings. If you’re envisioning a southern Maine wedding that’s laid-back, fun, and full of classic coastal charm, this is the spot for you!

Why September is the Time for New England Weddings

Sarah and Haig chose September for their wedding date, and I may be biased since I also got married in September, but it’s hands down the best month to say I do in New England!! The weather is that perfect mix of crisp and warm, the summer crowds have chilled out, and the golden hour light is absolutely magical. A cherry on top is that the foliage is starting to peek through against the deep blue ocean backdrop. Ahhh a freaking dream!

A Southern Maine Wedding Venue That Feels Like Home

The staff at Pep Cove are some of the friendliest, most welcoming people you’ll meet, which sets the tone for a relaxed and joyful day. And let’s talk about that pier—it’s a total gem for golden hour photos and a moment to enjoy together while your guests are enjoying their cocktails or dinner!

Nearby Gems for Your Southern Maine Wedding Day

For your Kittery wedding, one of the perks of choosing Pepperrell Cove is that there are tons of nearby photo spots!! Sarah and Haig chose Fort McClary for their first look, and it couldn’t have been more perfect. The historic charm and stunning views made for such a unique vibe.

Fort McClary and Fort Foster are both dog-friendly, so if you’re hoping to include your furry family members, you’re in luck!

Another unique feature? The dock at Pepperrell Cove opens up endless possibilities. For couples dreaming of a seacoast wedding, imagine ending the night with a sunset sail with the love of your life. Or maybe hosting a welcome party right on the water the night before with your closest family and friends. It’s those extra touches that make the experience so memorable.
