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!

  6. […] Natalie and Thad are one of our 2011 wedding couples. Next we photographed them again in January of 2012 for an IN LOVE session. Then at Jess and Eric’s wedding we got to see them AGAIN, (Jess and Natalie are besties)! The craziest part is that they live WAY over in Lake Tahoe. You would think we would never see them but we are looking forward to the next time, whenever that may be. They want to move to Maine to settle one day and so do we, so who knows right? We may just meet them at Gritty’s on a monthly basis and just hang out in the future. You never know. […]
