The Portland Art Museum is for the couples who want intense luxury style images, moody editing, and unique lighting in their bridal portraits. On first Thursdays of the month, you can attend the museum for free and it is absolutely jaw droppingly beautiful in there. The moody lighting, the long artistic staircases, elevators, and art all over the museum.. it really is the perfect place for artistic dates and portraits after saying "I do" at the courthouse. It is such a sweet space to show off that dress - don't miss out on this idea! Definitely be aware that even being in a museum full of gorgeous historical art - you may still be the center of attention!
