Rockport Harbor Wedding •Gwendolyn + Mark• Rockport Maine Wedding Photographer

Gwendolyn and Mark were married on a perfect July afternoon at Mary Lea Park, overlooking Rockport Harbor. They opted for a “first look,” setting eyes on each other during a quiet moment before theie ceremony, which provided a sweet opportunity for photos. Their ceremony and celebration had a relaxed, family-oriented focus, incorporating their daughters and nephews as their attendants. Following their vows, Gwendolyn and Mark celebrated outdoors with their closest friends and family at their home. The party was complete with pizza fresh from Uproot Pie Co.’s traveling brick oven; a candy bar (YUM!);  and we can’t forget the pool….or the Amazon Prime delivery on their wedding day…totally our style 😉 Here’s a peek at the festivities!

Point Lookout Resort Wedding •Kelly + Michael• Northport Maine Wedding Photographer

It’s Kelly and Michael’s big day! You may recognize their smiles from their Pemaquid Point Engagement session!

Kelly and Michael married at the summit of Point Lookout Resort in Northport, Maine which is along scenic route one, nestled between the Camden / Rockport and Belfast areas. The sky was a stellar blue on their wedding day and the view from the top of the summit  provided a breathtaking backdrop of Penobscot Bay and the surrounding Maine Islands as they took their vows.

Kelly shared a tid-bit of how she and Michael met with us…we’re so glad that they found one another!

Our “love story” began in 2012 when we were introduced to each other by our mutual friend Niki. After Niki told both of us she knew we would be perfect together, we went on a blind date at a local pub. (To back track just a little, Niki had been telling Kelly for two years about Michael, but they were unable to meet due to his work and military obligations). We sat at the pub getting to know each other and lost track of time. We didn’t leave until almost midnight! From that day forward, we have been together.  Niki was absolutely right, we are perfect for each other!

Nice match-making Niki! 😉 Here’s a look at their beautiful Maine wedding!

Big thanks to Michele Stapleton who worked with Tim and I as a third photographer on Kelly and Michael’s big day!

Beaver Lodge Wedding •Anna+Jason• Hope Maine Wedding Photographer

Anna and Jason got married in a place close to our hearts….Beaver Lodge, the very same place we tied the knot ourselves 5 years earlier! Beaver Lodge is a funky and charming lake side lodge in Hope – nestled between Union and Camden/Rockport – perfect for a rustic, outdoor Maine wedding.

Anna and Jason’s paths crossed back in the fall of 2008, when, according to the newlyweds:

Anna sat sipping a mocha latte on a Saturday afternoon typing a paper for graduate school at a coffee shop in Inman Square. Jason strode into the cafe wearing a pink button down and proceeded to sit across from her and write furiously into a worn blue notebook. The rest is history…

Their engagement story is a fun one, and made it into the toasts at the wedding. As told by Anna:

Jason took me out sailing on the family boat on the Cape one Saturday afternoon. It was a clear, warm June day. I tried to invite his sister along for a sail, but she was pulled away by his mom to check out new Toyotas, so we ended up on the boat ourselves.  We were sailing along peacefully when the boat stopped moving. I didn’t understand why, but later learned it was low tide and we ran into a sandbar. While we were perched on the sandbar, Jason pulled a little black box from his pocket, and opened it to reveal a bright gold and diamond ring with a green ribbon trailing from it for safekeeping.  He popped the question, I said YES, of course! And then he secured the ring in the boat’s cabin and dove into the water to push us off the sandbar. He acquired a nasty ‘boat-burn’ in the process, and I was so flabbergasted I didn’t help one bit!

Here are images of their lovely, fun filled day! Enjoy!

Reid State Park Wedding •Colleen + Sal• Georgetown Maine Wedding Photographer

Colleen and Sal traveled from Colorado to be married in Maine. We spent a glorious few hours together capturing their joy and, of course, their vows! After creating some images on the grounds of the Inn at Bath, in the historic district of the city, we made our way to Reid State Park in Georgetown for their ceremony! Colleen and Sal wed on the edge of the Atlantic, in a private ceremony. It was a love-filled day, bathed in sun, salty wind and crashing waves. ❤ColleenAndSal-0006 ColleenAndSal-0015 ColleenAndSal-0025 ColleenAndSal-0032 ColleenAndSal-0050 ColleenAndSal-0051 ColleenAndSal-0061 ColleenAndSal-0071 ColleenAndSal-0075 ColleenAndSal-0085 ColleenAndSal-0095 ColleenAndSal-0098 ColleenAndSal-0114 ColleenAndSal-0116 ColleenAndSal-0140 ColleenAndSal-0142 ColleenAndSal-0153 ColleenAndSal-0167ColleenAndSal-0280 ColleenAndSal-0181 ColleenAndSal-0200 ColleenAndSal-0214 ColleenAndSal-0223 ColleenAndSal-0231 ColleenAndSal-0247 ColleenAndSal-0254 ColleenAndSal-0267 ColleenAndSal-0276

Maine Maritime Museum Wedding •Laura + Nate• Bath Maine Wedding Photographer

After our initial exchanges, Laura and I discovered we had a lot in common…from a summer spent in Alaska, being aspiring surfers, nature-lovers and oysters (well, I love to eat ’em on the half shell, and Laura monitors oyster growing for the health department, so she knows better and doesn’t eat them that way 🙂 ) Laura and Nate planned their wedding from Washington State, heading east to marry in Maine, where Laura spent part of her childhood.  Laura and Nate’s wedding day was shrouded in a romantic fog and some light drizzle, which made for some lovely atmospheric photos. And, it certainly didn’t extinguish their adventurous spirit. They still crawled over wet rocks and climbed up giant lobster traps to get the shots! Here’s a peek at their perfect day!
