Intimate Bailey Island Wedding | The Gills Group Cottages

Hailey & Connor

Hailey and Connor’s wedding at The Gills Group Cottages on Bailey Island was an intimate and breathtaking celebration, surrounded by the beauty of Maine’s rocky cliffs and the endless ocean. Traveling from New York, they wanted to create a wedding experience that truly captured the heart of coastal Maine. It’s safe to say they did just that!

A day full of personal touches

From the very start, Hailey and Connor’s day was filled with meaningful, personal touches that made it so special. Hailey, with her incredible creativity, took the lead in designing most of the décor herself, pouring thoughtfulness into every detail. As a result, this infused each table setting with a heartfelt and personal element, aligning with the intimate, relaxed atmosphere. To top it off, they even brought their dogs along, which undoubtedly added an extra layer of warmth and happiness to the day!

The food truly reflected Maine’s coastal charm, with fresh oysters and lobster rolls from Mere Point Oyster Co, coupled with wood-fired pizza from Brickyard Hollow. As an oyster enthusiast, Hailey made sure they played a starring role. For another sweet, personal touch, she even baked their wedding cake herself, featuring a lobster design made of fresh strawberries! And lets not forget her stunning dress from Anthropologie— a true showstopper. During their portraits on the cliffs, the sunlight filtered through her veil, creating an unforgettable moment. The love between Hailey and Connor radiated throughout the day, making the day truly unforgettable.

Hailey and Connor exchanged their vows with the ocean as their backdrop, surrounded by their closest family and friends. The vast views from Bailey Island further enhanced every moment of the wedding day feel more intimate and surreal, enhanced by the unique charm of The Gills Group cottages. Afterward, they celebrated with a reception where laughter and good food filled the air. Guests enjoyed Maine’s best oysters, lobster rolls, and pizza while celebrating the love surrounding Hailey & Connor. Their wedding was a perfect blend of intimate moments, heartfelt vows, and stunning scenery. It was an honor to capture the beauty of Hailey and Connor’s day. From quiet moments on the cliffs to the lively celebration with family and friends, every part of their wedding reflected who they are as a couple. I’ll always treasure the memories that were created on this perfect Summer day.
