Exeter New Hampshire Wedding: Helena and Tim

We adore photographing intimate weddings. Helena and Tim planned a sweet wedding for themselves at the Exeter Inn in New Hampshire. With only their most honored of guests, (including their sweet pup), they were married… in a matter of minutes. We were connected to these two thanks to a couple we photographed back in 2012: Lisa and Suzy! It was a joy to see them again too! One of my favorite parts of the day was just watching the two of them laugh. Helena and Tim know themselves so well and they know who they are. The comfort level they have for one another is the kind of happy we should all work towards with our partners. Yay for intimate weddings amiright?

Spruce Point Inn, Boothbay Harbor Maine Wedding: Noelle and Alex

Boothbay Harbor Maine seems to be an absolute favorite with couples for destination weddings. It is pretty adorable for sure and its a really fun place for people to visit from away. Noelle and Alex planned thier very own destination wedding, nestled in the classic Maine resort along the water. The only time for a first look and most of the couple portraits was in the mid-day sun, so we headed into the woods for some shade. It was such pretty light and made us a little jealous of the foresty weddings that other non-Maine-Coast wedding photographers get to photograph. It was so so pretty!

We headed to the ceremony, graced by the couples sweet pup in an adorable flower necklace. Melt me. After the ceremony, we stole a few more moments with Noelle and Alex and headed down to the water for a few more buttery light portraits. Our of other photographers jealousy faded as we were reminded of just how lucky we are as wedding photographers here in Maine, getting to photograph couples in these vistas. Afterwards, we headed to the Pemaquid Room for a rockin dance party and a unique tradition of piano playing! One of the couples friends is a pianist and apparently at all the friend weddings, everyone gathers around the piano and has a sing-along. Gotta love that ya’ll.

Heather and Michael’s Wentworth by the Sea Elopement

They called it a “Planned Elopement,” and that’s just what it was. They fell in love, built a life together, and decided they wanted to get married. The catch was they didn’t want to have a huge wedding. After talking it over and letting thier families know, they moved forward with a teeny tiny wedding with just them, their little dog Harley, the Justice of the Peace, and us.

It’s funny how much you can grow to care about a couple in spending only 3 hours with them… but Dan and I were all in with this one. They charmed us with their banter and their laid back attitude towards the details: iPhone music coming from my camera bag, a locked dock that was supposed to be the ceremony location, and who was going to keep an eye on Harley, (he wandered around the whole time free as a bird). What they weren’t laid back about was just how much they loved one another. It was electric. You could feel it. You could see it. It was evident in each and every moment of the time we spent with them.

They exchanged vows on the dock, spent a few hours with us taking photographs to share with their loved ones, and then… we all sat together and shared a bottle of wine, all having taken part in a romantic evening marked by a wedding and photos to go with it.
