Portland Maine Engagement Session | Kristi and Dave

We met Kristi and Dave for the first time about an hour before their session. We had originally planned on talking about a wedding timeline with them, but after a beer or two and some fried pickles, we just settled on hanging out. That hangout continued into an engagement session all over our favorite city. We ended the evening at Ft Williams, focusing more on the fort than the lighthouse, which felt exciting to us since the light was bangin’ at the fort! The best part was how trusting and energetic they were, willing to climb on rooftops and navigate through ankle breaking rocks and climb on more rocks for the shot. After the session they invited us to dinner and we continued the hangout late into the evening. It was a super fun night!

Dorset Vermont, Barrows House Wedding | Bevin and Thom

Thom and Bevin made it official at the Seven Springs House in beautiful Vermont with the reception at he Barrows House. Having photographed them once before for their engagement session, we were really excited to do that again. They are so energetic and really really funny. That kind of couple is our ideal… fun and carefree and up for anything. Their guests were no less enjoyable and our day was filled with laughs and smiles.

Then there was that dress… and that ceremony filled with theater kid details… and the time warp in the dance party…

So yeah, we had a pretty great time.

Annie and Josh’s Pemaquid Point Maine Engagement Session

Annie and Josh came to Maine for their July 4th Wedding (coming soon). While they were here, we were able to schedule their engagement session too, just a few days prior to the wedding day! We met them in Damariscotta Maine and then headed down to Pemaquid Point. Seeing that they live in Arizona, we had some chilly weather to share with them up here. I was impressed at just how New England-y Annie looked in her nautical striped skirt! Impressive. The views and light at Pemaquid Point were more than we could have asked for. All in all is was a pretty fun way to spend our evening.

Peaks Island Maine Wedding: Laura and Mark

Good GRACIOUS was this ever a great day to be a wedding photographer. Dan and I were invited to photograph a truly wonderful day and we have fun theÂ entire time. We rode the ferry across to the island and walked to the church with our camera bags, taking some time to swing in the park and have a glass of water before we began photographing. I mean really… what better way to get ready for a wedding shoot?

Laura and Mark were married on Peaks Island Maine, alongside their closest friends and family. Since we had photographed Laura a few days prior for her Bridal Session, the getting ready portion of the day felt so relaxed, like seeing an old friend! The guys played baseball until they lost the ball in the woods. Then they ate marshmallows. This was how they prepared for the ceremony. Are you picking up the relaxed vibe yet? Mark has two sons, one of which played Ragtime on the piano as the walked back down the aisle as husband and wife. Â He missed his cue to get up and play because he was editing a photo of the first kiss on his phone! I can relate to him. BEST! We headed to portraits until the ferry ride back. Then we all went to the reception atÂ The Well at Jordan’s FarmÂ where Laura changed into a cocktail dress and joined the party, feeling a little more like herself. We literally could never have asked for more. It was just right.

Laura’s Portland Maine Bridal Session

Bridal Sessions are a Southern Tradition and we REALLY wish it would take off up in New England too. Imagine being able to spend an hour of undistracted time with your photographer, growing in comfort and confidence. An hour where you can ensure that you have some pretty fun photographs of yourself in your wedding look, to give to your spouse, your parents, and of course… YOURSELF! Bridal sessions are a blast for us.

Laura met us at her airbnb place here in Portland, two days before her wedding. Dan and I doted over her loveliness, as you will too while viewing these images. We got to take her around to some of our favorites spots in the city and hear all the little girl tourists tell their parents how pretty the lady was in the GORGEOUS Oscar de la Renta gown. It was prettyÂ great honestly.
