Rye New Hampshire Wedding: Mariah and Roger

We met Mariah and Roger last year for their engagement session, and have been looking forward to their wedding even more than usual since then. (Click that link and go and see the cuteness).

It was a hot hot day here in New England. The sun we beating down and giving us intense light and everyone’s skin was “glistening.” Im not sure if the couple of photos we got of Roger crying were tears or sweat but well just go ahead and say tears ok? In spite of the heat, everyone was happy happy joy joy all day! We loved being around these humans and their friends.

The toasts were all hilarious. The dancing was fresh. The sunset was bangin. All in all, a wonderful day to be a wedding photographer.

Moran Estates Wedding: Angela and Jack

Jack and Angela are one of a kind! I hope you can see this in these images. Angela made her own wedding dress AND Jack’s eye patch. They ladies carried floral HOOPS instead of bouquets. They had donuts instead of wedding cake. Are you getting the idea here?

It was a hot hot day but there was plenty of shade and lots of cocktails at the ready for the guests. They shared a heartfelt and fun ceremony and before you knew it… totally married. They processed to the bar and the afternoon began. Since it was a mid-day wedding, they were done by 5:00 and that’s when we actually did their portraits, AFTER the wedding. Angela and Jack are nothing if not unconventional. High five to that.

Bremen Maine Wedding: Brianna and Jake

A family property on the ocean in Maine… a total dream location for us every single time.

Brianna’s family has had this farmhouse property for generations, so there was no question where she and her love Jake would have their wedding. Overlooking the ocean, they said their vows, in the side yard of the house with all their favorite people in attendance. Right afterward, the four of us went down to a nearby cove to take photos, at the height of that “Just Married” excitement!

Next, it was dinner and drinks, speeches and dancing. We loved the energy on the dance floor at their wedding. There was even a chihuahua in attendance! At the end of the night, we all walked down to the water for a fireworks show in the moonlight. Doesn’t sound like a dream you guys?

Willowdale Estate Wedding: Anna and Kyle

Our first blog post of 2019 is a banger you guys! Anna and Kyles wedding was so so pretty, with the teensiest, tiniest hint of chill in the air. They live in California now but Anna grew up in New England so they came here for their wedding. My little sister was actually suitemates with Anna back in college AND Anna’s parents housed and fed Dan and me when we were in Essex on our kayak trip back in 2009 (See dbkayak.com if you are confused about that). All that meant that we were hugely honored and excited to be a part of this wedding. Having not met Kyle until the wedding day itself, we were so stoked when we did because he could not be kinder. He was so attentive to detail and complimentary and caring. I also ADORED his suit… IT WAS EVERGREEN!

Every part of the day was a dream. Perfect light. Good vibes with the people present. Sweet ceremony tears. Delicious food, and of course… groovy dancing. What a joy to be a part of this wedding day.

Kennebunkport Wedding: Lara and Jeff

Chill. Cool. Stylish.

Those are the three words that come forward first when I think of Lara and Jeff’s Kennebunkport Wedding. There are a lot of other positive words I can say but those are the ones at the forefront. These two ooze cool vibes, without the vibes of “too cool for you.” That is the best kind of cool doncha think? Of course, they are both good looking beyond belief, but what really sets these two apart is that love that they share for one another. I literally overheard a guest saying to another “They are SO IN LOVE!” during the dancing, while Lara and Jeff were in their own little world on the dance floor. It was really really evident and that’s the only wish we have for any of our clients.

Some of the details I loved from the day were, of course, Lara’s dresses (plural) and shoes. I also loved the rainbow bridesmaids dresses, Jeff’s blue suit, that Dan stayed OUTSIDE the reception tent for the introductions to get a whole new perspective, the weather, the trees, the cake cutting, the hora, and the happy happy feeling that I could feel all day from everyone. Can you tell I enjoyed myself?

See for yourself you guys…
