Abbie and Javi’s Maine Summer Camp Wedding

Abbie and Javi were married at Camp Wohelo, making her the fourth generation in her family to wed there. Javi and his family are Cuban and brought the party to Maine! I remember skyping with them the first time and when we closed the call, I looked at Dan and said “O MY GOD I love them!!! We have to do their wedding!!!” It was love at first skype for us! They are our very own Lucy and Ricky…

The wedding was at a local Catholic church and was followed by the reception at the camp, with a dinner of Lobsters caught and cooked by Abbie’s Dad. All the details were made with love by Abbie herself and the cake was made by her mother and decorated by her sister. The guests, although they were from great distances and did not know one another very well in the beginning, it really started to feel like two families coming together, rather than just Abbie and Javi. The weather was undeniably perfect, with a sunset that was a stunning capstone to the day. I was wondering why no one was really dancing after dinner and then Dan let me know that nature was stealing the show with its closing sunset. Once the stars came out, the dancing began and it was all smiles all night!

As a special treat, Aaron Steel of A Good Look Productions shared this film he shot of their wedding day! Enjoy!

Andrew and Lisa’s Camp Kieve Maine Wedding

Andrew and Lisa were married at Camp Kieve, a place that is near and dear to both or their hearts, and not only them but a huge majority of their guests. We felt like we were on sacred ground when Andrew walked us around the ceremony spot before the day began. Andrew is one of the most fun grooms we have had the pleasure to work with. He was the point person throughout the process. On our first contact he said, “So, I’m getting married next summer to a wonderful girl, Lisa….” and from that point on, we were hooked on the two of them. Lisa showed us around her new house that they recently purchased together and I felt like I had met myself when she showed me her color-coordinated closet, sorted by type and color. #totalwin

We KNEW their wedding was going to rock and boy did it ever! After a heart-felt ceremony, we headed to a reception that started before it was even officially “open.” It was the first wedding we have ever been to that people started dancing before they even sat down. The dancing actually went on the ENTIRE time, and beyond. We were hot and sweaty and our faces hurt from smiling the whole time. It was an amazing night and we were honored to be there. Party on Andrew and Lisa.

Sarah and Brandon’s New Gloucester, Maine Wedding

We cannot adequately express  how beautiful Sarah and Brandon’s wedding was. If there is a quintessential DIY rustic Maine wedding, it’s this one. From the handmade pennants, (that will be made into a quilt), to the wildflower bouquets, to the Whoopie Pies… everything was adorable. The Merrill Farmhouse at Pineland Farms was the perfect setting for Sarah and Brandon’s wedding. These two live across the country on the west coast, but made it a point to have their wedding waaaay over here on the East Coast. The family and friends were tightly knit, and the speeches even brought tears from the best of them! We had such a good time with them, and wish these two encouragement along their running path, (they run every morning together). Congratulations!
