Freeport Maine Wedding: Diana and Sam

Supposedly this is the last season that the Wolfes Neck Barn will have weddings, so we felt especially special that we got to be there for one of the last weddings. Diana and Sam live in DC and wanted a destination wedding up here in marvelous Maine and they found such a great space to do so in my humble opinion. I even stood back a couple of times, admiring just how lovely this wedding really was. I can’t imagine just how cool it felt to be a guest.

After getting ready, they headed to Wolfes Neck for their first look in the forest. Both of them cried tears of joy when they saw one another, which we loved. Of course. Then we all headed over to the barn to check out the setup, do some family portraits, and get ready for the ceremony. Once they had made their relationship into a marriage via a few promises and a few signatures, it was party time. The barn was looking so so pretty and smelling like a delicious dinner. Everyone seemed to be really enjoying themselves, ourselves included. I really felt like the night rocketed by at warp speed and before I knew it we were hugging them goodbye. Please come to visit us again soon Diana and Sam!

Marianmade Farm Wedding: Gina and Fred

For our very first wedding at Marianemade Farm, Gina and Fred showed us how its done beautifully! SHE Lux Wedding knocked it out of the park. We loved the overall feel of the day, especially how the couple sat right smack dab in the middle of the dining space, completely surrounded by their guests. It had such a good feeeeeel to it. O and those bouquets… they were SO PRETTY!

Even though the weather threatened to be wet, all it did was give us some pretty clouds and an appreciation for the lack of rain. Gina and Fred were so goofy with each other which bodes pretty dang well for the future. You gotta be able to giggle and laugh together for longevity and they certainly can. From the preparation, to the ceremony, to the dinner, to the dancing, Gina and Fred’s wedding day was a lovely lovely lovely one.

Groton MA Wedding: Matt and Taylor

Taylor and Matt’s wedding was such a fun day. They both had ample chill time pre-wedding, hanging out with their crew’s at the hotel before being shuttled over to the Barn at Gibbet Hill! During the ceremony, a rare and but wonderful occurrence happened… Matt cried as Taylor walked down the aisle to her. Some might say it’s cliché, but we rarely see this happen here in stoic New England. It was so refreshing and made us all melt. Her beautiful veil may have had a little to do with the drama since it was a mile long and being blown dramatically by the wind. It was a pretty incredible moment between these two.

Afterward, we knocked out some family and wedding party photos and then it was full-on party time. There was even dancing BEFORE dinner. That always bodes well. We love being a part of FUN weddings, and this one sure delivered.

Uxbridge Massachusetts Wedding: Charlotte and Derek

Charlotte had her heart set on pretty fall colors and she got them! It was beautiful on Charlotte and Derek’s wedding day, with all the look of fall without too much of the cold. Juuuuust right. Charlotte is friends with one of our past couples, Nick and Devon. It was so sweet to see them both again at her wedding, Nick even being one of the wedding party. We had never met Derek but watching him watch her during the ceremony melted our hearts full stop. He could not stop staring at her and smiling. What’s not to love about that?

After the ceremony, we all hopped in a golf cart and were chauffeured around the outer reaches of the golf course. Since it was the end of the season, we got to go on the grounds in places that you normally cant. That and Charlotte spoke up, holding them to their promise of letting her use the ENTIRE grounds for photos. Yasss queen! We got her red leaves and Derek was a good sport the whole time, despite photos not being his favorite way to pass the time. Not to mention, as soon as we were done with the photos, we all got to go to the barn and have a super fun party. That’s always a nice reward for making it through the portraits. (We could take them all day but not everyone is QUITE so enthusiastic about it. We get it.)

Longlook Farm New Hampshire Wedding: Dana and Nick

The day of Dana and Nick’s Longlook Farm wedding in New Hampshire, a HUGE thunderstorm rolled across the state. Dan and I were eating our pre-wedding lunch when the sky opened up and poured down rain by the bucketful. When we arrived though, the whole place just shined like it had just had a good bath… because it had! Thanks to that thunderstorm, we even got a big old rainbow to bless the day.

They both got ready at the cabin on-site and then had a first look full of tears, kisses, hugs, and laughs. We took a lot of the family and wedding party photos beforehand to make room for partying on the other end of the day. A music and love filled ceremony on the lawn lead into cocktails and appetizers. The barn held the dinner and dancing.

A few of my favorite moments from this day (and there are a lot) are as follows:

Dana singing Nick a couple of special songs during the reception since she is, in fact, a professional singer. So good.
The rainbow. Obviously.
Sparklers, a Campfire, and SOFT SERVE ICE CREAM.
And…. of course… the last song antics, which we will never ever forget. Dana and her sister Olivia, climbing into the rafters. Dancing and singing till the end. #unforgettable
