Kristina Moro Photography
Email: hello@kristinamoro.com
Hey there! I’m Tina, your storyteller. I’m a New Jersey transplant who moved to the beautiful coast of Maine in 2012. I first picked up a camera in 2006- ironically, on my first-ever trip to Maine. This is where I fell in love with photography. Just a short, few years later, I photographed weddings, won multiple awards, and even went on to be published in Downeast Magazine and The Maine Mag.

Perle Photography
“I recently got married to my best friend (cliche but so true!) and now that all the planning and excitement is over, I look back at all my images and it makes me smile. My husband cried while I walked down the aisle (it’s like a movie, right?) and our dog followed behind us as we first walked out as husband and wife. These moments were captured for me and I want to capture those moments for you! I love weddings and I love being in love!”
Katie Arnold Photography
I’m Katie…with a wondrous desire to chase the light from the coasts of New England, to the mountain tops of the west, and to the cobble-stoned streets of Europe and beyond. While I don’t remember a day I didn’t long for adventure and to experience a new destination, my roots always bring me back to my home here in Maine; where even after visiting 13 different countries, I still call my favorite place here on earth.
