Jessica Weiser and Lyle Koehnlein are an award winning, midcoast Maine-based documentary team who have been photographing weddings together since 2007. We have photographed well over 300 weddings throughout Maine, New England and beyond. One of the compliments our clients consistently give us is that they are so comfortable in our presence and that we unobtrusively capture so many moments that they don’t even realize are happening and that we are both a laid back, relaxing and helpful presence on the wedding day.

Our style is often described as timeless, editorial, photojournalistic and unique and we try to document the day in the way it actually looked in a very simple, elegant way primarily using the beauty of natural light.

Kind words from our clients

Fidelio Photography is absolutely amazing!! They’re a husband and wife duo (AKA a built-in second photographer) and they’re incredible at what they do. My now fiancé communicated with them for months to coordinate a surprise proposal. We live in Georgia and were flying to Maine just to explore a new state. Not only were they extremely communicative, but they changed their plans last minute to capture our engagement because the weather was going to be beautiful. They’re kind, thoughtful, and so much fun to be around. They made the engagement so special and had the best ideas. My fiancé and I have never taken professional pictures and that can be intimidating, but they made us both feel comfortable and really captured “us” so well. The final products were incredible and we still gush over the pictures every day. 10000/10, highly recommend them!

KELSEY & CARTER
We booked Fidelio Photography for our September 2020 wedding. This was a great decision, as we ended up working with them twice (once for an elopement session in 2020 and once for our rescheduled wedding in 2021) and had great experiences both times! Jessica and Lyle are both easy to be around, which was greatly helpful in making everyone comfortable throughout the day. They caught candid moments throughout the day with such beauty, and Jessica's attention to detail when editing is unparalleled. We were overjoyed with our photos from both the elopement and the wedding. Photographers are one of the most important vendors for your wedding day. We'd 100% book Fidelio again and encourage anyone reading this to book them without hesitation!

Jess and Lyle did our wedding at my family’s farm in Poland, ME. Not only did they perfectly capture the magic of the day, but they also tuned right into the magic of this place that I have loved so dearly for my whole life. The pictures are beyond perfect and I will treasure them for always. In addition to being incredibly talented and professional photographers, they are also easy to work with, flexible, super nice, etc. So yeah, they are basically a dream.

ZACH & CONZ
I'm an artist, so the photography for our wedding was SO important to me. As soon as I saw Fidelio's website I was so blown away by how creative and unique each photo was. No two weddings looked the same and each candid moment was captured so beautifully. The wedding day goes by so fast and the photos are the only thing that lasts forever. Jess and Lyle did an absolutely perfect job preserving our day. Looking back at our photos takes me right back to our wedding day. We cannot thank you two enough!

CASEY & JUSTIN
The moments captured on our special day were truly spectacular! In admittedly our least favorite weather, Jess and Lyle were able to masterfully chronicle the event from every angle and in vivid detail. Ava and I both agreed that having two photographers yielded the best possible result. Their attention to our interests leading up to the day gave us great confidence. We've repeatedly been through the album with the impossible task of choosing favorites. In addition to their talents we're lucky enough to create a relationship with an incredible pair of individuals. We'll never be able to thank Fidelio Photography enough for the amazing experience.

NATE & AVA
I was blown away the minute I saw Fidelio Photography's website. I felt like I knew these couples and I could feel the energy of their wedding day simply by looking at their pictures. As soon as I spoke with Jessica on the phone my decision was made. On top of being sweet, friendly and totally easy to work with, we both had the same style and vision of the way we wanted these memories captured. I was focused more on candid, natural shots along with some really unique portraits. Jess and Lyle were totally relaxed and calming but also knew when to take charge to make sure things sped along when needed. They lent their creative eyes and expertise to make sure we got what we were looking for. I couldn't be happier with how all our engagement and wedding photos turned out. We got everything we were looking for and then some. Jess and Lyle are truly something special. I would hire them again in a heartbeat.
