Orrs Island Maine Wedding: Meg and Nate

Well, I honestly don’t even know what to write. It’s hard when you connect with a couple on such a deep level that everything you write just seems to trivial. I need to work on my vocabulary so I can better put into words how I feel about our precious couples.

Meg and Nate are incredible humans. As I listened to the toasts during the wedding, it was clear that I am in the majority in thinking this about them. Both are highly successful in their own right, Meg even has the ole “Dr.” in front of her name. They could not be more humble though. We spent a whole weekend with them this past March in a cabin the woods for their engagement session, which brought us all even closer, making the wedding day feel like we were witnessing our friends get married. To say I cried a little seems obvious to any long-term readers. They said “I do” in the front yard of a house that has been in Nate’s family for generations. The weather was on point and it stayed that way all day into the gorgeous Maine sunset. Everyone made their way to the tent for dinner and dancing and before we knew it, the day was ending. I’d be super sad if I thought this was goodbye with us and these two, but I know that we will be friends for life.

Also…. Bean Boots.

Newagen Seaside Inn Wedding: Julie and Jim

Hailing from Wisconsin, these two chose beautiful Mid-Coast Maine for their intimate wedding. Since it was a destination wedding and everyone was from away, they had their wedding on a Monday! Talk about a good way to start the week right?

We firmly believe that the nicest people we have met are either from Canada or the Mid-west and Jimmy and Julie are no exception.  Completely open to our photo ideas and 100% welcoming, we had a wonderful day at work while all their family and friends had their own wonderful day too! One of my favorite moments in the day was when Julie was totally into the idea of getting ready out on the porch, since that was the best light I could find that time of day. After their first look on the docks, they had their ceremony, in view of the summer home of Margaret Hamilton, the wicked witch of the west.

Maine Magic.

After cocktails, emotional first dances, and funny sweet toasts, we ventured to the rocks with Julie and Jimmy to witness a classically beautiful Maine sunset. We were all in awe of how pretty it was and our photo ideas were too many to fit into the limited time the sun was allowing. This is a good problem to have of course. We had such a fun time with them, one of those photo sessions you remember feeling great and just enjoying every moment. Again I say, Maine Magic.

Edgecomb Maine Wedding: Krista and Adam

Our number one jam here in Maine is to photograph weddings on private land. We love the meaning it holds and the feeling it gives to everyone in attendance. Krista and Adams wedding at her family cottages in Mid-Coast Maine were right up our alley! Adam arrived at the cottages just in time for a big huge rainstorm to hit. The ladies were just finishing up and the plan was to take Krista’s fathers boat and arrive via water to the cottages. It looked like it wasn’t going to work out but Krista put her foot down and said I’m taking my fathers boat. I don’t care if I’m late. I’m going with my Dad. I loved that. When brides know what they want and go for it even though everyone is suggesting otherwise is just what I respect. It reminded me of Danielle sticking to her guns and heading up to Cadillac Mtn for portraits on her wedding day. Go ladies. GO.

We arrived by boat.

The ceremony was full of sweet stories and memories and fun vows. With that first kiss, the cocktail hour was up and running with fun drinks and delicious snacks. Did we mention Adam was a chef. Yeah.. the food was delish. The rest of the night consisted of even more food that rocked our world (gimme more pork tostada!!!!) and surprise fireworks, and one of the most gorgeous Maine vistas we have ever seen: foggy, calm, river reflecting a stunner sunset. Such a good time.

Camden Maine Wedding: Kristi and Dave

Kristi and Dave love Maine. It’s such a special place to them that they planned their wedding here as a destination so they could share this special place with their closest family and friends. They chose the Camden Public Library as the spot for their ceremony, and alongside their bridal party, with a huge help from their fur-baby as the ring bearer, they became husband and wife. To me, the ceremony was one of the most beautiful and romantic ones I have ever seen. There was a light drizzle in the air, setting a Maine-y mood, which I personally LOVED! Afterwards, they took a boat ride over to the reception, where everyone enjoyed an intimate and snuggly party at the Yacht Club. Good stuff guys… good stuff.

AND their Engagement Session

Southport Maine Wedding: Lex and Rodney

It was a perfect Maine day. The kind of day that brings people here in droves in the summertime. I am sure it was the kind of day that Lex and Rodney were crossing their fingers for ever since their buzzworthy engagement.

As she walked down to him at the end of the aisle he would beam and then look at his feet, all gushy and overwhelmed and adorable. They said “I do” overlooking one of our favorite views in Maine. After the ceremony they both breathed a sigh of relief and goofiness of them both came out in full force. We spend some time with them on a boat, driven by none other than this fine Lobsterman. Then we walked over to the other side of the point and took some fun sunset photos. The party was clearly a ball, with laughs and inside jokes and crazy dance moves. We looked forward to this wedding for a long time and it did not disappoint.
