Fairmont Copley Plaza Boston Wedding: Sara and Dave

One of the most fun parts of being a wedding photographer is being able to meet and get to know so many people who we genuinely fall for! Sara and Dave are two of those people that we are so so thankful to have met and gotten to know.Â We knew their wedding was going to be unforgettable, one of those weddings thatÂ makes us pinch ourselves when we remember just how magical it really was to be there.

Sara and Dave are madly crazily wildly in love. Their wedding was big and fun and sparkly and glamorous and all the wonderful things a wedding can be, but its important to note that their love never got lost in the details of the day. The orchid bouquet, red lipstick, and diamond drop earrings had Sara looking fiiiiiiiine. Tuxedos for all the menfolk and evening gowns on the ladies made for a black tie event. Gold and Clementine colors sparkled in the reception, which was decorated to the nines. We were overwhelmed with the glitz and glamour!

Â One of my favorite moments of the day was actually at the very end of the reception. The guests formed a circle around Sara and Dave spontaneously, and they danced in the center of the circle to a romantic epic song, surrounded by the people they love most in the world. It wasn’t staged or set up. It was just one of those perfect wedding moments that we live for.

February 17, 2016 Acadia Maine, Engagements

Acadia Engagement Session: Olivia and Chandler

We love meeting people from all over the country. It’s really fun to see how different and yet similar we all are. Olivia and Chandler are from Wisconsin, but are living in Maine for a short time this year due to a job. While they are here in the state, they opted to have their engagement photos taken in one of the state’s most beautiful places: Acadia National Park! The best part? These two had never been to Acadia until they were here in the car with us!

We started the session with a few warm-up photos in Bar Harbor. These two didnt really need much warming up though. They are super cute and snuggly and full of love and life. We just gave em a few things to do and they ran away with it! After Bar Harbor, we headed into Acadia, to Sand Beach and the Otter Cliffs. Dan and I marveled at how incredible the light was for the whole 2 hours, while these two just giggled, kissed, and ran around. It really was a blast.

Potland Headlight Elopement: Renee and Scott

Renee and Scott booked us for their elopement a mere 9 days before their wedding! We were so excited that we were available to photograph it since it was such a close time frame. We also were thrilled to photograph a wedding at one of our own favorite lighthouses.

Lighthouses are a meaningful part of their dating story, so getting married by the iconic Portland Head Light added another lighthouse to their love story. A small gathering of friends and family were witness to these two committing to one another for life. In a short ceremony they spoke their truths and became husband and wife. We spend a little while with them afterwards and photographed them in the park. Then they were off for a dinner of lobster to celebrate.

It was simple and sweet and right up our alley!

Maine Lakeside Wedding: Hannah and Colin

Hanah and Colin got married in Colin’s parents backyard, beside a lake, just at the edge of fall. The air was just the right amount of crisp, perfect for snuggling up and watching people you care about commit their lives to one another. Now Hanah and Colin had long since been committed, having dated for over 10 years. I don’t thing there was a person present who wasn’t thinking “FINALLY!” and that includes the two of them.

The wedding included homemade wine, celtic blessings, oven baked pizza, and my personal favorite… a surprise fireworks show! I also adored her dress, with the lace coverlet for the pre-reception events. These two are well loved by everyone who knows them and it was abundantly clear in the speeches. My favorite part was the reference to Soul Twins. What could be more bonding that being twin souls eh? Another moment that I treasure is riding in the car with Hanah and her Dad on the way to the ceremony. They had a funny song that they wanted to be the father daughter dance but it was vetoed so instead they boogied together in the car to it. A private father daughter dance. Precious.

January 28, 2016 Vermont, Weddings

Simon Pearce Quechee Vermont Wedding

Jess and Eric’sÂ Simon Pearce Quechee Vermont Wedding was truly just as simple, classy, unique, confident, and lovely as they are! Besides from being beyond welcoming to Dan and I, treating us like guests, they shared their love with everyone there. I love going to weddings where its abundantly clear just how much the guests love the that the couple are getting married. Â Everyone there was pumped for them! Who would want it any other way?

They had their ceremony at the Wilder Center in Wilder Vermont. Just take a gander at those WINDOWS! We were so stoked. Afterwards, we all headed to Simon Pearce for drinks, dinner, toasts, and lots and lots of love.
