York Maine Intimate Wedding: Valerie and Alex

She visited the Nubble Light and thought to herself… if I ever get married, this should be the place. Years later, she made that thought into a reality, marrying the love of her life on the rocks the light house protects ships from. We were SO excited for this wedding of Val and Alex, having photographed their engagement session not too many days before the wedding itself. We were also able to work with the ever talented and bubbly Events by Jackie M, one of our favorite event coordinators! The chemistry between them is WILD and it was a blast to photograph. Their first kiss was a swoopy dip and swept us ALL away. After a ridiculously romantic ceremony, bringing together two families from two parts of the world, they all dined together in nearby Ogunquit at MC Perkins Cove. This was such a sweet wedding to be a part of.

Boothbay Harbor Maine Wedding: Annie and Josh

Annie and Josh came all the way from Arizona to say “I do” in the great state of Maine. After meeting them earlier that week for their engagement session, we returned to the Mid-Coast for their July 4th wedding! After a Catholic ceremony across town, they celebrated in style at the Newagen Seaside Inn, arriving via Lobster Boat! Josh’s dad is in a band, and they performed for part of the reception. You should have seen the room when he sang and original song to Annie and Josh…. not a dry eye in the house. This was one fourth of July we won’t soon forget!

Dorset Vermont, Barrows House Wedding | Bevin and Thom

Thom and Bevin made it official at the Seven Springs House in beautiful Vermont with the reception at he Barrows House. Having photographed them once before for their engagement session, we were really excited to do that again. They are so energetic and really really funny. That kind of couple is our ideal… fun and carefree and up for anything. Their guests were no less enjoyable and our day was filled with laughs and smiles.

Then there was that dress… and that ceremony filled with theater kid details… and the time warp in the dance party…

So yeah, we had a pretty great time.

Peaks Island Maine Wedding: Laura and Mark

Good GRACIOUS was this ever a great day to be a wedding photographer. Dan and I were invited to photograph a truly wonderful day and we have fun the entire time. We rode the ferry across to the island and walked to the church with our camera bags, taking some time to swing in the park and have a glass of water before we began photographing. I mean really… what better way to get ready for a wedding shoot?

Laura and Mark were married on Peaks Island Maine, alongside their closest friends and family. Since we had photographed Laura a few days prior for her Bridal Session, the getting ready portion of the day felt so relaxed, like seeing an old friend! The guys played baseball until they lost the ball in the woods. Then they ate marshmallows. This was how they prepared for the ceremony. Are you picking up the relaxed vibe yet? Mark has two sons, one of which played Ragtime on the piano as the walked back down the aisle as husband and wife.  He missed his cue to get up and play because he was editing a photo of the first kiss on his phone! I can relate to him. BEST! We headed to portraits until the ferry ride back. Then we all went to the reception at The Well at Jordan’s Farm where Laura changed into a cocktail dress and joined the party, feeling a little more like herself. We literally could never have asked for more. It was just right.

Amy and Dan’s South Paris Maine Wedding

Amy and Dan were married at the top of a mountain, overlooking Maine and even neighboring states and mountain ranges. The approach to the top gave no hint of the unbelievable view upon arrival at The Inn at Pinnacle Mountain.  It was such a gorgeous place to say the vows.

Their wedding was intimate, with only their immediate family attending. After the first look, we went right into the ceremony, with their nerves behind them. A dinner of lobster followed with a hot pink sunset to watch as they celebrated. This wedding was similar to what we had imagined for our own, so we were completely comfortable in that setting with their welcoming family. It was such a good day to be a wedding photographer.
