Ariel and Hunter’s fun and fabulous seaside wedding

Thursday, July 1, 2010

Ariel and Hunter’s wedding was held at the Trefethen Evergreen Improvement Association (TEIA), a place very near and dear to Ariel and her family.  They have been summering on Peaks Island for 80+ years! The TEIA building is perfect for a seaside wedding, with wide porches, a dark wood interior, sea breezes, and sweeping views of Casco Bay, Great Diamond Island and Portland itself.

Family and friends gathered from all corners of the U.S. to witness and celebrate along with them. The day could not have been more perfect. As you can see from the photos, I wasn’t lying when I said that Bear, their lab, would be in the wedding. He waited so patiently during the whole ceremony, it was really amazing, and then he celebrated right along with his owners!

Ariel and Hunter’s island engagement shoot

Monday, June 28, 2010

If you keep up on my site postings, you’ll know that I’m huge proponent of engagement shoots.  In the case of Ariel and Hunter their shoot wasn’t so much of an engagement shoot, but a wedding day warm-up shoot, since it was done the day before their actual wedding! That said, it was lot of fun, and helped both Hunter and Ariel shake-off some of those pre-wedding day photography jitters. In addition, I’d never gotten a chance to meet Hunter, or their awesome chocolate lab Bear, so this was a time for us to meet and get to know each other. Bear was even in the wedding, so it was important for him to practice his posting too!;)

A Peaks Island wedding for Nikki and Adam

Tuesday, June 22, 2010

Nikki and Adam probably look familiar since I just shot and posted their engagement shoot a few of days ago! They chose The Inn on Peaks Island for their wedding this past Saturday, and it was just about perfect! They had warm sunny weather, a fun wedding party, and the loving embrace of family. Nikki’s uncle flew in all the way from South Africa for event, and this  during the World Cup!

I love island weddings, I’ve found that the short ferry ride from Portland really transports the guests not only physically, but mentally. There is a sense of adventure and anticipation that go along with that ferry ride, and consequently, island weddings have their own special magic. This is especially true when the guests are not native ‘Mainers’, as was the case with just about everyone at this wedding.

Thanks Nikki and Adam, I loved being a part of your day, and I hope you enjoy this small sneak preview of photos. Have a safe and fun honeymoon!

Annie and Shehzaad’s Saturday wedding, Portland, Maine

Thursday, June 17, 2010

As you can see from my post on Tuesday, Annie and Shehzaad were married twice this past weekend! On Friday in an Islamic Nikkah ceremony, and on Saturday in a traditional Christian ceremony. The photos above are from Saturday’s ceremony and reception at DiMillo’s Floating Restaurant in Portland, Maine. The ceremony was originally going to be in South Portland at SMCC, but ‘plan B’ was put into action when the weather decided not to cooperate. That said, DiMillos’s had already set-up for a wedding ceremony by the time guests arrived at the new location. It was my first time shooting at DiMillo’s, and they did a fantastic job; not just on the food, but in working with the last-minute change of plans.

Isn’t it fun to see the same couple in a totally different wedding? I don’t know if I’ll ever get such a unique opportunity again.

Nikki and Adam’s Engagement Shoot

Tuesday, June 15, 2010

Meet Nikki and Adam, they are so cute that during our shoot they were mistaken for models by an Exchange Street shop owner! Their wedding is this Saturday, but since they live down in Florida we weren’t able to have their engagement shoot until today (it was actually supposed to be yesterday, but we had to give up at the last minute due to rain). Despite the last minute nature, our shoot was  a perfect way to get to know each other and to go over all of those last minute wedding details.

Rain, or shine, a year, or even just a few days before a wedding, an engagement shoot is always worth it. See you guys in a few days!

Shehzaad and Annie’s Nikkah ceremony in Biddeford Pool, Maine

Tuesday, June 15, 2010

This was a new one for me! Not surprisingly. since I live in Maine, I don’t get the opportunity to photograph many (okay, any) Islamic weddings.  This slideshow is actually Part One, of two weddings. The Nikkah ceremony was held on Friday, and the Christian ceremony was held on Saturday. (Saturday’s photos will be posted in the next few days.)

I have to admit the Nikkah ceremony, with its vibrant colors, warmth, traditions and tight-knit family was really amazing to witness, and a lot of fun too.  I really feel fortunate, as a photographer, to be  a part of both wedding days, it was such a unique and enlightening job!
