A Coastal Wedding in Boothbay Harbor at Newagen Seaside Inn

Ben Barrows and Filiz Soyak were joined in marriage at Newagen Seaside Inn in Southport Island on June 6, 2009 in the company of friends and family on a glorious Spring day. The very thoughtful ceremony took place on the event lawn with the rugged Maine coastline, surrounding islands and Atlantic ocean as their backdrop. It was even complete with a seaside serenade from their guests. Immediately following the ceremony the bride and groom escaped to the secluded and picturesque Sunset Rock for time to reflect and celebrate their vows. Their guests retreated to the freshwater pool for an assortment of passed and stationary hor d oeuvres. This is a very small glimpse into their beautiful day.
