Dan did this session all by his lonesome. I was on vacation with my BFF in Iceland (blog post incoming soooooon). It was also the hottest day that Dan can remember, so he says.
Also… there is a pug.
Her name is Justina… but you pronounce like YOUstina. I could tell that Alex really really loved her.
Ceremony Location: Fort Allen Park
Reception: Scales
These smiles yall. Look at these smiles.
When you are this happy to have found each other, it’s kinda hard to not show it on your face 24/7. Can’t you just feel it through these photos? Boy, are we lucky to have this kind of joy in front of our cameras. It makes us look good.
Krishna and Mike, we loved you two and we are so happy you spend these two hours with us, frolicking like twitterpated love bugs.
It takes a real effort to make it all the way to Chebeague Island. For us, it took 1 uber, 1 ferry, and 1 shuttle to get to the weddings, followed by a long walk, 1 ferry back, 1 bus ride, and 1 more uber, to get home. That’s right. BUT… that’s what makes an island wedding so special. All that effort makes being there all the more magical feeling. Then you add a confident lady marrying a smitten man, and you have yourself a recipe for wonderfulness.
Scott and Grace know how to be present and enjoy the day. We saw them all day, interacting and enjoying their friends and family throughout the event AND secret snuggly glances at one another in the midst of it all. I particularly loved waiting for the ceremony with Grace. It was just the two of us for almost 15 min, talking family dynamics and the nuances of weddings. Such a special memory for me that I have even mention when trying to explain what makes wedding photography so special!

When we called Sarah and Justin letting them know we could reschedule if they wanted to, they said no way. Even waiting one more day to get married (and avoid a huge storm) wasn’t worth it to them. They wanted to be married and that was all that mattered. It was so sweet to hear that there was only one focus for them. We met them at the Inn by the Sea, and then it was all set up for digital guests via zoom and video. Sarah got in her dress and walked out of the hotel room door to the patio, where Justin was waiting. That was all they needed.
Afterwards, we just spent some time in the room photographing them and then they changed into other wedding outfits, and we photographed in the room a little while longer. It was just that simple. And now… they are married. Love love love…
