Heather & John

Saturday, June 20th, the weather managed to hold off for us, yet again, in honor of Heather and John's wedding day! A late afternoon ceremony was held at the Immanuel Baptist Church followed by an evening reception at The Eastland Park Hotel.

Heather and her bridesmaids were so much fun to hang out with before the ceremony. They were busy getting hair finished, make-up applied and dressed... all while periodically taking time to play with the two flower girls (who should be applauded for their incredible patience!!). :) Heather even made time to help the flower girls with their make-up.

A surprise gift from John...

As you can see, Heather was pretty excited about it! :)

Then it was time to head to the church.

There was a little nervous energy as John and his groomsmen prepared for the big event. They soon made quick work of getting dressed, though and they were off to do some formals before going to the church.

A little after 4pm, the ceremony was underway. This church is filled with the most beautiful stained glass and it was a wonderfully romantic setting as Heather and John exchanged their vows.

We accomplished a handful of family formals after the ceremony. (BIG thanks to the best man for all his help in keeping people organized and ready to go!) Then we spent a few minutes with the bridal party and just the bride and groom before heading in to the reception.

It was a spectacular wedding! The Bob Charest Band had everyone on the dance floor all night (as always) and the crowd was shouting for more as the reception ended! Everyone had a great time with Heather and John on this day. It was so clear just how much these two mean to all of their family and friends.

We wish you both continued happiness in the years to come!

Andrea & Jon

After days of rain and a morning of continued showers, the downpours finally gave way to beautiful billowy white clouds and bright blue sky... in perfect timing and harmony with Andrea and Jon's wedding day celebration. On Saturday, May 30th this very sweet couple exchanged vows in a picturesque backyard setting in Wells overlooking the salt marsh and ocean in the distance.

Andrea and her maid of honor were working on some last-minute details and preparations when we arrived. From the home-made favors to the flower girls' floral headpieces, Andrea had put a personal touch into every aspect of this day.

Once the rest of the bridesmaids arrived, they made quick work of getting dressed and ready for pictures before Jon and his groomsmen arrived. We took a few pictures of Andrea with her family and bridesmaids before she ducked out of sight until the ceremony.

Jon and his groomsmen arrived by limo ready for formals and then had a few moments to relax before the ceremony began.

The ceremony took place in the late afternoon with the couple surrounded by their close friends and family.

Then we had some time for formals of the family and bridal party. Andrea and Jon also wanted to escape for a short time during dinner to go down to the beach as the sun went down.

It was such a lovely wedding day! There were so many special touches to this celebration... and so many cameras!!! Andrea and Jon will surely have tons of great images to remember their day.

We wish you both continued happiness and a wonderful life together!!

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!!!
