Moran Estates Wedding: Angela and Jack

Jack and Angela are one of a kind! I hope you can see this in these images. Angela made her own wedding dress AND Jack’s eye patch. They ladies carried floral HOOPS instead of bouquets. They had donuts instead of wedding cake. Are you getting the idea here?

It was a hot hot day but there was plenty of shade and lots of cocktails at the ready for the guests. They shared a heartfelt and fun ceremony and before you knew it… totally married. They processed to the bar and the afternoon began. Since it was a mid-day wedding, they were done by 5:00 and that’s when we actually did their portraits, AFTER the wedding. Angela and Jack are nothing if not unconventional. High five to that.

Acadia Engagement Session: Peter and Peyton

Sometimes everything comes together.

Dan and I photographed Jo and Carl’s wedding the day before Peter and Peyton’s engagement session and we were in Acadia for the second day of beautiful National Park photographing. Woot Woot! How lucky are we though… honestly?

When Peter and Peyton got out of the car I was already stoked seeing how CUTE they styled themselves for the session. That red dress and those teal pants though… yes yes yes! We met them at a new favorite Acadia Beach that Jo and Carl introduced us to. The weather was moody and we were feeling those Maine vibes. The bummer though was that we knew that Peyton really really really wanted sun and Maine was not delivering. After the beach, we headed to up the top of Cadillac for the second half of the session. As we drove the sun came out in perfect time and we had ourselves one of the most gorgeous sunsets we have ever witnessed to photograph them in. We were all over the moon and it was SO SO much fun!

Bar Harbor Wedding: Jo and Carl

Some weddings stick with you and Jo and Carl’s Bar Harbor wedding is one of them! It was just such a beautiful pairing between rustic Maine nature and glamorous vibes. We actually started the day with a hike up to the top of North Bubble in Acadia. There Jo and Carl had their first look. It was a dream come true for Carl so it had to be done just that way. I’m so glad we did.

After the EPIC first look, we went to a few other places along the Park Loop Rd for more photos, then headed back to the Bar Harbor Club for the wedding. Their vows were both so thoughtfully written. It helped me see into their relationship a little more. They got me stoked for their marriage almost as much as their friends and family I betcha!

The reception was beautifully designed and set the scene for touching toasts, sweet first dances, and a rocking party. Jo even changed into a red party dress to pay homage to her Chinese heritage and maybe even being a little good luck… not like they need it though.

Boise Idaho Wedding

You met these guys last week for their engagement session but today you get to see their sweet wedding. Dan has been a friend of the groom since college and they are really close. It was a huge honor to be able to see them get married, especially since it was a wedding with only 10 people in attendance. Yeah. It was a little one. You’ll even see Dan make an appearance in this post.

They have only been dating since November and they just knew it was forever. I adore stories like that and I am completely on board with it. When you know, you know. They are crazy in love and its a joy to be in the presence of.

Boise Idaho Engagement Session

This session was a little different for us. We actually did two sessions, each for an hour. We wanted nice light and also two locations which were really far apart. Thankfully we had the time and energy to make that happen. This couple is actually friends of ours and they flew us out to Idaho for their wedding so we were able to talk them into two sessions 😉 How selfish are we?

It was really fun to photograph in a totally different environment than we typically work in. No ocean for miles and miles… While we missed our salty muse, I have to say that it was really cool to be up in the mountains with vistas for DAYS!
