Nice job!! I've been looking for a shot like this, and from the "dark side" too.

Superb picture. I wonder if that’s the island my husbands niece got married on?

Edit…I don’t think it is, no place to land a helicopter.

Ram Island (minus the ledge) has a lighthouse, too. I think that one's a little more accessible. I don't think there's a helipad--or even a parking lot--on the island, but they might be able to land a helicopter there.
I had a chance to see it "in person" along with the Cuckolds light during a boat trip with some friends out of South Bristol in August. We took a cruise down to the Boothbay Harbor/Southport area. My first time on the water in years.

He's worth it. He worked on my dad.

Pro tip: if you or anyone you know has lower back/sciatica pain, specifically request an MRI and have Florman or another neurosurgeon look at it. They will tell you if it's a good candidate for surgery.

My dad put off surgery for a long time because he figured it would involve a lengthy recovery, but when Floorman looked at the scan, he assured us it was really pretty minor.

It was really amazing how effective the surgery was at addressing my dad's back pain, and he was up and mobile hours after waking up from anesthesia.

I was looking at my pics from the boat trip today on my phone, and noticed that the Cuckolds Light looked somehow "different" from other photos I've seen of it. Turns out we were passing on the opposite side of the islet from where all or most of those other pics were taken, and the keeper's house was between us and the tower. The light tower has a distinctive sort of semi-circular structure around the base of it that I think attaches to the house.
Looking at a page about lighthouses, one aerial view shows what I think is a helipad on the islet.
Wikipedia says the keeper's house was torn down some years back, but was later rebuilt and is now used for "pampered luxury" (the present owner's words) accommodations. That might have been where the wedding was.

Thank you, That could be. I don’t remember much, even though it was 2019, as I didn’t attend, I was on the mainland taking pictures. It was muddy and I was kneeling in mud snapping pictures of everyone getting on the helicopter. The Grooms father either knows someone who bought this place or he did and restored it.
