Sebago Lake Maine Wedding: Colleen and Dan

“We’re all a little weird. And life is a little weird. And when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall into mutually satisfying weirdness—and call it love—true love.” ― Robert Fulghum, True Love

This quote was the appropriate and embraced theme for Colleen and Dan’s Sebago Lake Maine wedding. They use it to describe their love for one another and I am in love with that! Weird is a really good thing in my opinion and it was a blast to photograph.

Colleen and Dan had their wedding at Camp Mataponi, overlooking Sebago Lake. The got ready in the camp cabins, which had been lodging for many over their guests over the wedding weekend. At the ceremony, one of their dear friends read the book “I like you” by Sandol Stoddard Warburg in its entirety. If you see it while you are out and about I highly recommend you take a moment to read it yourself. Its precious… kinda like this whole wedding day. After the ceremony it was party time, and guest enjoyed a rustic meal at picnic tables inside the camp lodge. The funny and happy and weird and good-times vibe was everywhere and we think Colleen and Dan are fabulous! I cannot begin to tell you how much I laughed at this wedding, Dan being hilarious the entire time. Im so glad we were there.

Maine Home Portrait Session: Noelle and Billy

Noelle is a local wedding and event planner that we adore working with. We met her last year at Abbie and Tanner’s wedding, and have since worked with her for two weddings this year and have our fingers crossed that we get to work with her even more next year.

When she asked us to photograph her and her husband on their one year anniversary we couldn’t have been more touched. What made it even sweeter was that we met up with them on the actual date of their anniversary. They invited us to their forever home they are in the process of building. When I say “building” I mean Billy is really building it… from an empty plot to what you see so far in these photos. It was such a great idea to do the session there! Then we headed across the street to their family property where they were married 365 days earlier. Pretty great I have to say.

North Berwick Maine Wedding: Anna and Weston

Sometimes a wedding just fits. Anna and Weston’s farm wedding was a perfect picture of who these two are as far as we can tell. They held the wedding a the meeting house just up the road from Anna’s parents Garlic farm, where her parents live and work. Anna wore an heirloom gown that first belonged to her grandmother, then her mother, then her sister, and then her! The flowers were grown on the property too! We loved how involved their fur-baby was in the wedding as well. Mahoney their rescue pup walked down the aisle and sat next to them as they exchanged their vows. If Anna and Weston weren’t being so romantic up there, Mahoney may have stolen the show.

After the ceremony, we took a horse drawn carriage back to the house, where dinner was served in their barn. Next we all moved over the dancing tent and enjoyed music and dancing under a beautiful summer moon. Can we go back and be guests??The groom adjusts his suspenders The groomsmen tie bowtiesThe two wedding dressesThe bride writes a letterAll the dogs lounging before the ceremonyThe bridesmaids help the bride get her shoes onThe bride and her dogThe dog heading into the ceremony The bride and her father The bride walks down the aisleThe ceremonyThe ceremony

Scarborough Maine Wedding: Aimee and Mitchell

When we photograph people who have most definitely become friends of ours the day takes on a whole new perspective for us. I can’t tell you how hard it was to cull and edit this weeding down to a reasonable number of photos because we just love most everyone in the photos! We knew so many people at the wedding, many being past wedding couples of ours. It was the first wedding we actually packed up our gear and came back for dancing once our night was finished.

Aimee and Mitchell have a long long love story and this day was much anticipated by everyone present. The whole event took place on Mitchell’s family farm here in Maine. Guests were invited to camp out on the property! The ceremony had a lot of happy tears and the reception that followed had a lot of dance moves! It was a wedding planned around fun and love and happiness and it was a roaring success.

Scarborough Maine Engagement Session: Aimee and Mitchell

We have known Aimee and Mitchell since Lyndsey and Ben’s wedding way back in 2012! Since then, we have stayed in touch, me always hoping that when they did get engaged, they would call us. Fast-forward to 2014 when Mitchell asked Aimee to marry him and we got a emoji filled text asking us if we would photograph their wedding! Yay!!!

A couple of days before the wedding, we met with them for a little engagement session in Mitchell’s hometown of Scarborough Maine. We headed to the marsh and then to the beach. They are so cute together don’t you think???
