Katherine Scully and Elijah Porter were married Aug. 17 in a stunningly beautiful wedding ceremony at Crow Point on the Damariscotta River in Walpole.
The bride and bridesmaids arrived by lobster boat. The tide was up and the weather perfect for a rapturously happy gathering of more than 100 friends and family, some of whom also arrived by boat. A lavish outdoor reception and dinner followed as the sun set, with music and dancing lasting until midnight.
Katherine, of Boston, is the daughter of poet Rosanna Warren and Stephen Scully, Professor of Classics at Boston University. She graduated with distinction from Yale University in 2005 with a B.A. in history. She received her J.D. in 2010 from Columbia Law School, where she was a Harlan Fiske Stone scholar, and now is an attorney with the firm of Akin Gump Strauss & Feld LLP in New York City.
Elijah, of Damariscotta and Walpole, is the son of Susan and Barnaby Porter, owners of the Maine Coast Book Shop & Café in Damariscotta. He earned a B.A. from Swarthmore College in 2000, then worked several years in his chosen field of architecture before going to Yale School of Architecture where he earned an M.A. in Architecture in 2010. He is currently working with Peter Gluck and Partners in New York City.
The couple lives in New York City.
