He mentioned how his iPhone shut down due the extreme cold, I said you must be warm in that blanket...he said he was not.

You would never know by the look on their faces that the temperature on this day was near zero degrees at Point Lookout in Northport, Maine for Dusten and Natasha's engagement session. They even got to see a moose... or at least a sculpture of one.

This area is one of my favorite local places to ride my bike, hike, and take photographs. It's a great place for weddings and other events and is located on top of a hill that overlooks the ocean. The Chapel seats about 50 and is perfect for a small intimate wedding. Photographs can also be taken on some nearby rocky cliffs with views of small islands and Rockport Harbor.

The Chapel is open from mid-April through October. Call (207) 236-6139 for more information.

The weather was a perfect 20 degrees and sunny skies for the event and everyone had a great time.
