Migis Lodge Wedding: Paula and Russ

Photographing Paula and Russ get married was the kind of experience I seek out. Dan and I both adore photographing couples who are confident and know themselves, feel secure in their relationship, and are getting married because they are wholly and completely in love with each other. Their wedding was simple without being plain. Both of their personalities were complimented within the vibe and design of the day, which is what we dream of being a part of as wedding photographers.

The day started for us with a few minutes of them getting ready and then it was right into the first look. Their excitement was palpable and they were so easy going through the whole process. After a few photos, it was time for the ceremony, just like that! Paula and I rode a boat to the ceremony location, where everyone was waiting for her. I’ll never get over how FAST a ceremony really happens. Within a few minutes, couples go from engaged to married. They walked back down the aisle as husband and wife. After the ceremony, they both got onto the boat for a little getaway, and then it was time for the reception.

There was food for DAYS and lots of super fun and joyful dancing. We stole away for some photos with them in the setting sun and I was vibrating with excitement because the light was INSANE. I love that they were super flexible and we could go out when the sun got stinkin gorgeous.

Also.. the Migis Lodge is incredible. Enjoy!!

Wells Beach Maine Engagement Session: Jaime and Devin

Occasionally we get to do engagement sessions for couples from out of town, who just want MAINE photos because… well… Maine is incredible. (You know that by now I would hope).

Jaime and Devin have been engaged a while and the planning is casual so far. One thing they did want to do though was to have their engagement photos taken at the restaurant they got engaged in AND have photos in Wells Beach, another really special place to the two of them. They currently live in Ft Lauderdale, FL, so they set up this shoot during their vacation up here! Smart.

We’ll never forget these two. Their energy together is absolutely electric. They were constantly kissing, snuggling, laughing, smiling, and generally being super into each other. We really just put them in the light we liked, cool backgrounds, and let them do their thing. That is a total dream, you guys. I’m so so happy they decided to work with us.

Kennebunkport Wedding: Lara and Jeff

Chill. Cool. Stylish.

Those are the three words that come forward first when I think of Lara and Jeff’s Kennebunkport Wedding. There are a lot of other positive words I can say but those are the ones at the forefront. These two ooze cool vibes, without the vibes of “too cool for you.” That is the best kind of cool doncha think? Of course, they are both good looking beyond belief, but what really sets these two apart is that love that they share for one another. I literally overheard a guest saying to another “They are SO IN LOVE!” during the dancing, while Lara and Jeff were in their own little world on the dance floor. It was really really evident and that’s the only wish we have for any of our clients.

Some of the details I loved from the day were, of course, Lara’s dresses (plural) and shoes. I also loved the rainbow bridesmaids dresses, Jeff’s blue suit, that Dan stayed OUTSIDE the reception tent for the introductions to get a whole new perspective, the weather, the trees, the cake cutting, the hora, and the happy happy feeling that I could feel all day from everyone. Can you tell I enjoyed myself?

See for yourself you guys…

Freeport Maine Wedding: Diana and Sam

Supposedly this is the last season that the Wolfes Neck Barn will have weddings, so we felt especially special that we got to be there for one of the last weddings. Diana and Sam live in DC and wanted a destination wedding up here in marvelous Maine and they found such a great space to do so in my humble opinion. I even stood back a couple of times, admiring just how lovely this wedding really was. I can’t imagine just how cool it felt to be a guest.

After getting ready, they headed to Wolfes Neck for their first look in the forest. Both of them cried tears of joy when they saw one another, which we loved. Of course. Then we all headed over to the barn to check out the setup, do some family portraits, and get ready for the ceremony. Once they had made their relationship into a marriage via a few promises and a few signatures, it was party time. The barn was looking so so pretty and smelling like a delicious dinner. Everyone seemed to be really enjoying themselves, ourselves included. I really felt like the night rocketed by at warp speed and before I knew it we were hugging them goodbye. Please come to visit us again soon Diana and Sam!

Scarborough Maine Wedding: Mandy and Jeremy

We had been looking forward to the wedding for a long time. Mandy is such a beautiful woman, who knows who she is and what she wants and goes for it. Jeremy adores her every move and can light up a whole entire room when he laughs. It was mentioned more than once on their wedding day 😉

The Black Point Inn is an absolutely beautiful historic hotel on Prouts Neck, here in southern Maine. I couldn’t help myself from imagining all the events that had taken place on its property since 1878. That is before the Titanic sunk and before the Brooklyn Bridge was built. It felt so right to be there for a wedding. The interior of the lobby can take you to a place of imagination when women wore corsets and had lots and lots of proper rules on being fancy. I loved being there.

The light in the evening, when we went outside for their portrait session was the stuff of dreams. They are so easy to photograph, chatting and snuggling and being generally cute the whole time. What more could we ask for? It was such a good day to be a wedding photographer.
