Colleen & Peter

Like so many days this summer, Colleen and Peter’s wedding day was no exception… beautiful, bright, blue skies and glorious sunshine! Saturday, August 14th, Boothbay Harbor flaunted a spectacular backdrop for their celebration. The church ceremony was about the only traditional part of the entire day. The reception, held at The Chowder House, provided a fun and funky setting for their guests to enjoy the relaxed atmosphere of quintessential Maine. The bride and groom arrived to their party by lobster boat, enjoyed some truly wonderful, heart-felt toasts (with pink champagne… Colleen’s favorite color), sliced into some gourmet whoopie pies (in lieu of cake) and rocked the harbor with the outstanding rhythms and energy of Sugarfoot. It was a truly special occasion and we’re so honored to have been a small part of it.  Congratulations and many blessings to you both!!

Molly & Evan

Saturday, August 7th celebrated the wedding day of Molly and Evan on Peaks Island.  Planning a wedding is no small task in and of itself; but, factor in relocating, grad school, exams and planning an island wedding long-distance... to many, it would seem impossible!!  Somehow, despite it all, Molly and Evan managed to pull together a truly spectacular celebration!  Molly wore her grandmother's veil which was absolutely stunning on her and she altered her mother's wedding gown to wear as her departure dress.  It was so wonderful to see how she incorporated so many special touches into the day.  From chartering a trolley to come over on the ferry to accomodate their guests, to the magical sparkler send-off at the end of the evening... it was a fantastic event from start to finish.  Oh, and let's not forget the amazing sunset from Jones Landing!!  Congratulations to you both... only 1,300 more Tuesdays to your 25th anniversary! :)   

Sunset Engagement Portrait

When we heard my cousin, Jeff, got engaged earlier this year, we were completely ecstatic!!  Our first glimpse of them since their engagement was just last week when they came into town for a small family reunion.  Of course, we gave them very little time to relax once they arrived.  As the sun set over Portland Head Lighthouse, we managed to capture some quick engagement pics of the two of them.  And, then we snuck over to Ferry Beach for the last bit of light on the horizon.  Jeff and his fiance, Meredith, are getting married next July in Philadelphia... we can't wait!!  Congratulations, you two - we love you both so much!

A nice surprise...

Imagine our surprise to learn one of our images was selected as Top Pic this week on Bridal Banter!  It's so wonderful to see how the smallest touches at a wedding can create a romantic feel.  Check it out... can anyone guess where the picture was taken???

Rachel - Senior Portrait

It was a real treat for me to photograph Rachel's senior portrait at Fort Williams in Cape Elizabeth a couple weeks ago.  Her family vacations in Maine every year and she's always wanted her senior pictures done along the beautiful coast.  Unfortunately, the fog rolled in pretty heavy that evening and the only glimpse of the lighthouse you can see is through the dense haze.  I guess that's all part of the Maine experience, though, right?  Rachel was great... we hiked all over the park photographing in different locations and it was so much fun!! 

Best of luck to you, Rachel, in the year ahead and I wish you much success in the world of fashion!!

Meagan & Andrew

In the scorching heat of Saturday, July 17th, Meagan and Andrew celebrated their wedding day in York, ME.  These two are the most easy-going couple!  It was so much fun for us to photograph their celebration.  With over 200 guests in a reception location that didn't have air conditioning, I wasn't sure what to expect when the dance music started.  Let's just say their family and friends were undaunted by the sweltering humidity and high temperatures - the dance floor was packed all night!!  It was truly a celebration of Meagan and Andy's love and life together.  Special Kudos to Foster's Clambake for putting on an amazing and seriously delicious spread!!  From the beautiful ceremony, to the laid-back lobster bake reception and the whoopie-pie cake - this will be a celebration their friends and family won't soon forget!! 

We wish you both all the best in life - you deserve it!!  Enjoy your honeymoon... and, don't forget the advice I gave you about the chocolate-covered macadamia nuts! :)
