Portland Maine Wedding: Jenna and Chris

Jenna and Chris could NOT have been more chill and easy-going on their wedding day. Honestly though. Jenna did her own makeup, warmed up a bottle for her baby boy, and then strolled across the street to meet her future husband, waiting for her at the end of the aisle. The group of friends and family invited where all so kind and fun and the vibe for the day was just a resounding “YAY” from everyone. One of my favorite parts of the day was actually the father-daughter dance. Typically this part of the day is really hard for me since I have my own daddy issues that crop up when I watch, but they made their dance so FUN! The song was “Sweet Child of Mine” by Guns and Roses. so… yeah. It was fun!

We love being a part of little weddings that are focused on one thing, getting married and having fun while you do that! Jenna and Chris were a perfect embodiment of that sentiment. <3

Long Island Maine Wedding: Lauren and Matt

The energy and joy from these two was palpable. When I think back to this wedding, where SO MUCH happened, all that Im left with immediately is just how happy Lauren and Matt were the whole day.

Let me start from the beginning. Lauren got ready in downtown Portland and then headed over to the chapel, where Matt and everyone else was waiting for her arrival. The ceremony was tearful and joyful, officiated by one of their dear friends. Before we knew it, they were officially husband and wife.

The next step of the day was to coordinate and get everyone on a Casco Bay Lines ferry to head over to Long Island Maine. There we all headed up to the island venue and started the reception. Right after toasts, the power went out on the whole island and you know what? It was all good. We cut the cake on the deck and shotgunned beers on the beach. All I can say is #proud

Acadia Elopement: Jesse and Wayne

Jesse and Wayne came up to beautiful Acadia for a teensy weensy elopement. It was so teeny that it was literally just the four of us. They had signed some paperwork at the courthouse a while before so we didn’t even need an officiant for their vows. Boom.

We met them in the parking lot of Sand Beach. Wayne changed in the car and Jesse in the park changing rooms. I helped her with her buttons and Dan photographed that while Wayne headed down to the water’s edge to wait. The simplicity of it all was beautiful to me.

They had a sweet first look then hopped up on a rock and told each other just how much they loved each other. After that, it was just photos till the sun was gone and then they drove all the way home to Rhode Island. Romance yall. Romance.

Northeast Harbor Maine Wedding: Hayley and Ryan

We have always said, and we will keep on saying it… Intimate Weddings are beyond wonderful. We. Love. Them! Hayley and Ryan’s tiny wedding in Northeast Harbor was just that. We met them at the Asticou Inn and then everyone headed up to the terraced gardens for the ceremony. It was so sweet to see how joyful the whole event was. Everyone was smiling and laughing and just thrilled that these two were getting married. Even their dog was over the moon.

After the ceremony, we walked through the gardens for portraits and made our way to cocktail hour and dinner. Before we knew it, the sun was setting and grabbed a few more portraits of them before the fire was lit for smores. A wonderful wedding indeed.

Cunningham Farm Maine Wedding: Bryanna and Zach

There is always one day a year that is way too hot… way too hot for Maine I mean. Everyone was trying not to pass out AND look cute while we were all “glistening” in the sun. The ladies got to get ready in the air conditioning while the menfolk went fishing on the beautiful Cunningham Farm property. Once we all worked up the courage, we headed outside for the ceremony. As soon as it all started, I forgot about the heat and we got to photograph these two get married! One of my favorite wedding moments of ALL TIME happened during their ceremony actually. Bryanna and Zach had a dog ring bearer who actually carried the rings down the aisle in a basket like a champ! How impressive is that?

After the ceremony and photos, it was full-on party time. We were shocked at how fast these folks got into the dancing even in the daylight. High five for that you guys.
