West Hartford Connecticut Wedding: Claire and Jason

Enthusiasm is the word that comes to my mind when I think of Claire. Jason keeps it chill from what we could tell on the wedding day, and Claire brings the energy. A winning combo eh? One detail I adored about the day was the casual vibe. Her dress was flowy and free which I felt went well with the general feel of the day… which was both of those two things: flowy and free.

Together, Claire and I waited in a horse barn, for her walk down the aisle. Then we played as a quad in a pasture and then with some horses. What more could you ask for really? COVID threw a wrench in plans for everyone, and Claire and Jason found a way to make it work beautifully.

Higgins Beach Maine Portraits: Marc and Shauna

We have actually been friends with Marc and Shauna since we lived in Boston back in the day! The connection was through mutual friends and then Dan and Marc became a surfing crew. Heck, Dan is getting ready for a surf session with Marc right now as I type this! Shauna is a surfing queen herself so it was only fitting to take some portraits of them at the beach… surfing!

These two are having a baby and they wanted a few photos of the two of them and a few they could use to announce the pregnancy. We were stoked to do this for them since it’s exciting for all of us! Being able to photograph IN the ocean is a pretty cool option we have for our clients so it was fun to use that with our friends.

Bristol Maine Wedding: Grace and Maxtin

I love how Maine has so many special places that are so easy to miss. Any turn off the main road on Maine peninsulas can lead you to a wonderland of beauty that just hangs out waiting for you. Grace and Maxtin have a family property on one of those turns and we were honored to visit.

Like most of our wedding this year, they had to change a lot of original plans for their day. In our opinion though, it was still a win since the location holds such a special place in their hearts.

One of my favorite parts of the day was when Grace hit a hunger wall and munched on lobster in her wedding dress while she sat in the grass.

Newry Maine Intimate Wedding: Liz and Sam

When the pandemic took over the world, Liz and Sam had a big wedding planned with so many people they love and cherish. Instead of canceling, they rescheduled the big wedding for 2021 and then got married this year with a small ceremony, COVID-Safe, and in the same place. While it wasn’t the original plan, it was still beautiful and chock full of joy.

First we all got ready at a nearby estate and then took an open window school bus to the family cabin for the wedding. The weather was a dream and the company was even better. Being a part of little celebrations like this always feels more intimate for us since we make up a large percentage of the people there! Everyone welcomed us as much as they could at a 6ft distance. Thankfully we will be hugging everyone in 2021 for the big wedding.

Also, I’ll be dreaming of being able to photograph in this spot again. What a gem!
