We finish the day at the Portland Headlight where we bid goodbye to our first day of shooting.

Day 4
After breakfast we travel north along the coast to Rockport and Camden, to of the most iconic seaside towns in Maine. Scores of sailboats and schooners adorn these bays; and the food, to die for. We spend most of the day shooting these to gems before arriving the Bar Harbor where our Acadia National Park adventure begins. We shoot sunset at the Bass Harbor Lighthouse, another iconic spot of this state. We spend the night at the wonderful village of Bar Harbor.

Up to Cadillac Mountain for sunrise. This is the first point in the United States to be touched by the rising sun. From here you see of all Acadia National Park.
