Spruce Point Inn, Boothbay Harbor Maine Wedding: Noelle and Alex

Boothbay Harbor Maine seems to be an absolute favorite with couples for destination weddings. It is pretty adorable for sure and its a really fun place for people to visit from away. Noelle and Alex planned thier very own destination wedding, nestled in the classic Maine resort along the water. The only time for a first look and most of the couple portraits was in the mid-day sun, so we headed into the woods for some shade. It was such pretty light and made us a little jealous of the foresty weddings that other non-Maine-Coast wedding photographers get to photograph. It was so so pretty!

We headed to the ceremony, graced by the couples sweet pup in an adorable flower necklace. Melt me. After the ceremony, we stole a few more moments with Noelle and Alex and headed down to the water for a few more buttery light portraits. Our of other photographers jealousy faded as we were reminded of just how lucky we are as wedding photographers here in Maine, getting to photograph couples in these vistas. Afterwards, we headed to the Pemaquid Room for a rockin dance party and a unique tradition of piano playing! One of the couples friends is a pianist and apparently at all the friend weddings, everyone gathers around the piano and has a sing-along. Gotta love that ya’ll.

Behind the Scenes 2016

Man o man. This blog post is so fun to make every single year. We sit down and look through all the behind the scenes photos we took through the year and laugh. Sometimes we look cool and cute and fun, and other times we look downright grumpy, tired, and confused. Its a weird and wild job we have and I still can’t believe we are the photographers at some of these incredible weddings. #lucky

See how pumped Dan is about this?

Or perhaps confused?

Photographing on ice isn’t the easiest. We got to photograph on ice two times in a weekend! (Sabrina and Steve AND John and Michael)

Sometimes I photobomb for no good reason.

And like every year… there are many photos of Dan laying down on the job. Here he is in the snow in Steamboat Springs.

Just me lookin cute.

Up close and personal.

Again with the laying down.

I’m a creep. I’m a weirdo.

Sassy with my Holdfast Money Maker.

He cute.

Not so cute moment.

Seems like in Kennebukport, we always end up photographing along the side of the road. It’s just the Kennebunkport thing I guess.

Looks like they rolled out the red carpet for me!

It is RARE that I meet a fellow tall girl and this year my bae Katie held down the fort with me! Tall Girls FTW!

Not a bad ceremony location eh?

I know I know… a speech… but look at the cute widdle girl!

One of the hottest days of the summer. In between shots I was wiping sweat from my eyeballs.

And again he lays down. This time in sand. Is this just his signature move?

But wait… IM LAYING DOWN! Its hard to tell though if I just fell though. Thanks Mitch for helping me up and Christine for laughing.

Boom. For shots that we have to set up before we interrupt the couple from the dance floor, Im usually a stand in. Im feeling this one.

A nice portrait of the three of us.

Dan using magic on Laura and Kevin.

Straight Chillin while we waited for a whole entire multi generational family group to come to the stairs for the photo they take at every wedding.

I look happy eh?

Reflections.

I always say Dan is so highly focused and concentrated that he completely misses what’s happening just outside of his focus. In this case he somehow missed a line of grown men linking hands via their… well…. crotches. He literally just realized this happened when we looked through these images a couple hours ago. Ha!

I was happy at this dance party apparently.

Not the best images, I’ll give you that, but…. we were taken by surprise by a wedding party attack. See my shock face and Dan’s attempt to photograph it.

Again with the super happy face at the reception.

Dance lessons with Monika.

Ooooo so artsy.

A cute one from September. It was finally not swelteringly hot.

Everyone is having a good time here. SO CUTE.

When Dan gets pulled onto the dance floor.

I will dream of this window light the rest of my career.

Peace.

This is one of my faves from the year. <3 Again with the ice photography. SO hard.

I realized that we didnt take any selfies this year! That aint right! So here is the one photo I found of the two of us at a photobooth. That a wild and crazy year it was. This job you guys…. you should try it sometime!

Ring Shots 2016

At almost every wedding, we have a chance to try and whip out something creative and beautiful with our couples wedding rings. Usually we try and pull some things from around the reception to make the shot more personal to the couple, with elements from their day and decor. Other times I just whip out something outta nowhere and it just looks cool to me! It’s a moment in the day to slow down and try and create something. We have some go-to ideas that almost always work for a cool shot and other times it’s a totally random happenstance that justworked out. These are simply fun for me. They don’t make the blog that often because we love to show emotion and mood on here, and diamonds aren’t that emotional eh? We do like to show them all off at once at the end of the year if we get a chance. Enjoy the bling bling!

One Shot Weddings 2016

Yay! It’s the “One Shot Weddings” 2016 Edition! We have a lot of favorites from all of our weddings but these are just the #1’s that we were feeling today when we went back through. The way we run the blog is that we spread out the wedding posts throughout the year so there are even some weddings on here that won’t be on the blog until 2017 so its also a sneak peek! Love that. Thank you again to all our legendary couples from 2016. We loved you all and are so honored that you had us alongside you on your wedding day.
