Megan & Brian



Megan and Brian celebrated their wedding last Saturday, May 23rd at Saint Bartholomew in Cape Elizabeth with a reception following at Dunegrass in Old Orchard Beach. It was a carefully planned celebration with so many wonderful details. Here are just a few glimpses into their day...


Things were off to a bit of a late start when the ladies took a little longer than expected getting their hair done. With a little help from her mom and her sister, Megan made fast work of putting on her gown and slipping into her shoes.




Her father greets her at the stairs...



Once everyone was ready, we headed out for some pre-ceremony formals of the bride and groom with some of their close family. We managed to accomplish most of the family formals before Brian and his groomsmen were off to the church. Below are just a few shots of the bridal party.






The ceremony...








After the ceremony, we captured a few quick pics on the altar and dashed over to Kettle Cove for some beach shots before heading to Dunegrass.



There was also this unexpected visitor at the beach that day...

Once at Dunegrass, there were a few more posed formals taken before the couple joined the party with their family and friends. The sunset that evening was incredible and we managed to get a few shots of Megan and Barry on the green just before dark.


The reception was a blast! From cigars and a candy table to all the additional personal touches, Megan and Brian did an amazing job of making their wedding day memorable for everyone! We can't thank you both enough for including us in your celebration. We truly had such a great time - enjoy your honeymoon!!!

Katie & Jeff


Saturday, May 16th, the Samoset Resort hosted the wedding celebration of Katie and Jeff. Surrounded by family and friends, on a green overlooking the ocean, this wonderful couple exchanged vows... complete with a lighthouse foghorn sounding in the distance. It was truly a romantic Maine setting for all who attended.

Katie and her bridesmaids were enjoying a leisurely time of getting hair and make-up done when we arrived. I'm not sure I've ever encountered a bride so relaxed and at ease in preparation for her walk up the aisle.



The ladies...





In the meantime, Jeff and the groomsmen finished up a short round of golf, grabbed a quick bite to eat and were quickly suited up for some pics, as well.



The ceremony was simple and lovely...







Then it was time for a group photo, some family formals and a few moments with just the bride and groom before the party was underway...


This chickadee landed right in front of me as we were finishing up the last of our formal shots...


We had such a great time and it was such an honor for us to be a part of Katie and Jeff's wedding day! Their family and friends kept us laughing all night long!! Thank you both for including us in such a momentous celebration for you and your families! We wish you many blessings for a wonderful and happy life together.
