Coolidge Family Farm Maine Wedding: Cassandra and Derek

Cassandra is a wedding photographer here in Maine, so I’m sure you can imagine what a big deal it was for her to ask us to be her wedding photographer. We were so honored that a fellow photographer would want our take on her day. Derek is an all-around good dude and we loved being able to spend a little time with him too. In case you missed it, here is their engagement session, which was such a fun time over the summer.

One thing I really really enjoyed about their wedding day was how it felt. There was an overall calm and joyful vibe that lasted all day. Everyone seemed relaxed and happy and generally just taking in the day without stress or nerves. It was just a day of happiness! From champagne-sipping in the bathtub and barefoot frolics in the fields you can see the vibes. The ceremony was fun and silly while also remembering the seriousness that is starting a marriage. The dancing was wild and lots of delicious blue drinks were consumed by everyone. Heck… once I put the camera away for the night, I even had a few.

All in all, it was a banger wedding to be a part of and we are forever grateful to be invited into days like these.

Midcoast Maine Wedding: Taylor and Matt

Taylor and Matt got married at Point Lookout Resort overlooking the gorgeous Penobscot Bay. The view is the best up at the top, which is precisely where they said their “I do’s” and why they decided to have their wedding there in the first place. Sadly, Point Lookout is no longer offering weddings so these two were some of the last couples to have their wedding overlooking that stunning spot.

After a lovely Ketubah ceremony, they had their public ceremony, and then it was time for cheers and celebration! One super fun detail was that Matt scheduled a surprise fireworks show for Taylor. Talk about a major surprise!!! It was so fun to see the fireworks lights up everyone’s faces with colorful joy while they watched.

House Island Maine Wedding: Jess and Rhodri

One of the most special venues here in Portland is on House Island. Its a private island in the Casco Bay and involves a lot of planning to make happen, (hence why having a superstar planner is a must). Jess and Rhodri live in London and since many of the guests would be from across the ocean, they wanted to throw a spectacular wedding for them all… but most importantly, themselves.

I adored both of their personalities, a mix of smart dry wit and kind sensitivity. They put me at ease the moment I met them at a coffee shop, long before their wedding day. Nothing changed between then and the wedding day. Genuine good people through and through. The wedding was romantic and silly, just like them. It was a rainy morning but right before the ceremony, it stopped! We have a beautiful Maine day for the rest of the event: 👌

February 18, 2020 Engagements, Mid-Coast Maine

Boothbay Maine Engagement Session

Mid-coast Maine is always a good idea for engagement photos. These two rented a cute Airbnb in East Boothbay and we met them and their sweet pup for a chilled out engagement session. We not only got some coastal vibes in, but we also went on a teensy weensy hike and got to photograph in a coastal forest. We rarely get into the woods with our cameras because (understandably) everyone wants some ocean photos. This was super fun for us! Yay summer…

Chatham MA Wedding: Kim and CJ

This family.

One of the highest honors you can have as a wedding photographer is to be invited back to photograph the wedding of a sibling in a family you have photographed before. Such is the case with CJ. His sister is Kelsey, whom you can see here and here. When CJ and Kim got engaged and asked us to photograph their wedding, we were elated. Truly.

Their wedding day was the day after Hurricane Dorian passed over Cape Cod. The night prior was windy and dark and cold and stormy and everything you don’t really want your wedding to be. The morning of though was GORGEOUS! What a relief.

A few things I loved about Kim and CJ’s wedding are as follows:

The Weather, always easier to appreciate after a storm
That we did the family and wedding party photos by the water
A live painter for the couples first dance
The Father/Daughter dance, which transformed into an Irish Step Dance, which then evolved into a professional Irish Step dancing performance. —— in.cred.i.ble!
Jumping on to a dock with Kim and CJ during the portraits after the tide had come up so far that the only way on was a leap of faith

The most important thing though, and always will be, that they are such kind human beings, which is forever my favorite element of a wedding day to photograph.
