Natalie and Thad’s Portland Portrait Session

When Natalie called us and asked if we could schedule a portrait session with them since the missed out on an engagement session, we jumped at the opportunity. These two are so in LOVE and it’s just so nice to be around that. We met them at the Casco Bay Lines, right where we had met them before their wedding last September. It was crazy cold outside. Thad, like a true “Mainer,” went without a coat for most of the shoot, which blew my mind! They have recently moved to Lake Tahoe and it’s not much warmer there either. It was just so fun to see these two again and start the year off right with a hot couple, totally in love, in a beautiful place. Who could ask for more right?

Natalie and Thad’s Peaks Island Maine Wedding

The weather is always a very important consideration for any outdoor wedding, and Thad and Natalie’s wedding was no exception. They lucked out ten-fold with the weather on their wedding day. Dan and I could barely get over how absolutely beautiful it was. The overcast skies made all the colors POP and set a mood that made us feel like Mainers, even with our Carolina blood. The heat stayed away and created a very comfortable setting for their intimate, tender and personal ceremony. We called the only cab on the island and rode out for some couple portraits on the back side of the island. It practically took our breath away. Adding this Navy Helicopter Pilot and his Navy Nurse wife into the scene was almost too much to bear. It was hard to hold the camera steady! As the day progressed we came to learn how close everyone there was to the bride and groom. It felt like an intimate gathering of people who love each other, which is exactly how a wedding should be. Thad was so tender with Natalie, and she was one of the most laid back brides I can remember ever having. Her Maid of Honor made the bouquets and they spent most of the morning decorating the place themselves. It was a sweet wedding to be able to be a part of. Most importantly of all, Natalie and Thad are now married and ready to set sail on the most exciting voyage in life thus far… married life.

P.S.- Yes, there was Lobster!

Andrea & Matt’s Portland ME Portrait Session

Andrea and Matt live in the most adorable city of Portland, Maine where Matt is a builder and Andrea is a kindergarten teacher.  They have been married for a year and wanted a few photos of themselves “while they are still young and good looking!” The “good looking” part will probably stick around longer than they think… as you can tell. They were so fun to photograph and kept US laughing pretty much the entire time. It’s easy to see why their marriage is so strong… they laugh together! Please note that this took place at night in the freezing temperatures of Maine. They were up for it so we had to be too. It was nice to finish the night in their warm cozy apartment, sampling the yummy chocolate chip cookies they made and petting their feisty cat Cleo.
