Welcome to Alexandra Daley-Clark Photography

Hello, welcome to the home of Alexandra Daley-Clark Photography. bringing classic Maine wedding, portrait and event photography to the world.

I am a professional photographer based in Lyman, Maine (just a wee-bit south of Portland). I specialize in unobtrusive wedding photojournalism and on-location lifestyle and portrait photography. On this site, you can see some of my latest work, find out more about me and my adventures, learn how I do what I do, and look at some of my favorite photos in the Galleries. If you’re newly engaged (congrats!), and looking for a wedding photographer, the Galleries and Pricing sections are the best places to start.

My favorite wedding photos from the 2011 season

Every winter I browse through the images from the previous wedding season picking out my favorites. These aren’t necessarily the ‘best of the best’, but the images that evoke in me a memory, illicit a smile, or inspire me for the coming year. I hope you enjoy this image selection from the 2011 wedding season. These weddings ranged from small intimate affairs, to large lavish celebrations, and each was unique and special in their own way. I was honored to be there to document each and every one!

Erica and Jay’s Saco, Maine engagement shoot

Erica and Jay made the trek all the way out from Burlington, Vermont for their engagement shoot last weekend. I’ll be making the trek out to Vermont next year for their wedding. I’m going to be all over New England next wedding season; Vermont, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and of course Maine! I can’t wait!

It may be December now, but it has been unusually warm so far this winter, so rather than a snowy shoot, we had a day that felt much more autumn-like. Even down at the beach it wasn’t too windy or cold. We really lucked out as the beach can be positively brutal in December. Jay is a Mainer himself, so having the shoot here at the beach fit right in with his upbringing, and coincidentally his best-man happens to live in Saco, so Erica and Jay made a weekend around our shoot. I’m such a huge proponent of engagement shoots that I really appreciate when couples also make the shoot a priority despite distance and weather.

At their wedding I’ll get to reunite with Nikki and Adam whose wedding I shot on Peaks Island in 2010,  it’s so much fun when I get to stay in touch with ‘my couples’ as the years pass, and I’m always very touched when they pass my name onto their friends.

I’ll see you two again next fall! Enjoy the holidays everyone!

I’ve moved! Please note change of address below…

I’m excited to announce that Alexandra Daley-Clark Photography is now located in Lyman, Maine. Our new mailing and street address is:

111 Poor Farm Road, Lyman, Maine 04002.

Lyman borders Kennebunk and is easily accessed from either the Biddeford or Kennebunk turnpike exits.

I no longer have the studio space on Main Street in Saco.

Julie and Patrick’s Kennebunkport, Maine engagement shoot

I met Julie and Patrick this past summer at Patrick’s sister Courtney’s wedding. During the wedding reception Julie pulled me aside and hinted that she was expecting a proposal soon, and lo and behold I got the email a couple of months later! Another family wedding is in the works. Rather than holding their wedding in Massachusetts like Mark and Courtney, Julie and Patrick have chosen Kennebunkport for their wedding reception, so it was only natural to have their engagement shoot in this adorable coastal Maine town.

Kennebunport was also chosen for their fall engagement shoot since we thought it would be a nice quiet location, boy were we wrong! On this lovely fall day, Kennebunkport was positively hopping with people. Like most of my couples, Julie and Patrick pushed their nerves aside, and despite the mobs of people we proceeded as if we were the only people in town.

I can’t wait to reunite with the whole Morris family next summer at their nuptials!

Pam and Sean’s autumn ‘Inn on Peaks Island’ wedding

Pam and Sean were married on Saturday out on Peaks Island, and although the calendar read October 8th, it felt more like July 8th. Temps crept over 80 degrees in Portland, the sun was beating down, the sky a bright blue, and only the early sunset clued anyone onto the fact that this was a fall wedding. It was also my last wedding of the year, and I ended the season on a high!  What a great wedding from beginning to end!

Pam is a graphic designer, so it goes without saying that the colors, details, and paper goods were all well thought out and very complimentary. They were also a reflection of Pam and Sean’s fun loving attitude towards not only their wedding, but life in general. Just take a second to read the text on the their reply card, and you’ll know what I’m talking about.

Pam and Sean know how to enjoy themselves and not take life too seriously. The figurines climbing up their wedding cake were made by a friend and are a reenactment of their first meeting at the Maine Rock Gym. And did you notice the reappearance of the cowboy boots? Or Sean’s orange socks? I just adore all the warm colors and thoughtful details.

The day had one small hiccup though, Pam had a ‘wardrobe malfunction’ and had to literally be sewn into her dress by her mom! The sash that had been added totally messed up the zipper and caused it to bust open just before the ceremony!  Pam and her mom took it all in stride, and thankfully the stitching held all night!

The day would have been perfect had I not had a hiccup of my own. After so many weddings on Peaks Island over the years, I’ve practically memorized the car ferry schedule, so I rarely consult it anymore. Well, apparently I should have, since I didn’t notice that the it had gone over to the fall schedule and thus the late car ferries had been eliminated! Oops! So, my car got to overnight on Peaks, and I got to come back for lunch on Sunday. Since it was over 80 again on Sunday it was a nice trip nonetheless.

Congrats Pam and Sean, and all my 2011 wedding couples, it was a great year and I truly enjoyed every single wedding!
