Ashley and Ross were married on Saturday in Old Orchard Beach. After the reception, we strolled into town to take some fun portraits. I’ll post their actual wedding photos later in the week, these are just so fun, that I couldn’t wait!

Ashley and I talked about doing a shoot a Palace Playland a year ago, and I’ve been eagerly anticipating it ever since. It turned out just like I had hoped! Thanks for being such great sports Ashley and Ross, I hope you love these photos as much as I do!

Stacy and Kent’s wedding in Concord, Massachusetts

Wednesday, August 4, 2010

I hope you like to see a lot of photos from my weddings, because I just couldn’t edit this one down to a reasonable number! Stacy and Kent were married in Concord, Massachusetts at Nashawtuc Country Club on what had to be one of the most perfect days of a perfect summer. And they looked perfect too! These two are real sweethearts, with very kind friends and family, so while the wedding was large, it felt like a very intimate event.

To compliment Stacy’s amazing dress, she had the coolest wedding shoes I’ve ever seen, and to make it even sweeter, they were given to her as a gift by her bridesmaids! I don’t know how she managed to walk in them, I know I couldn’t have made it five feet!

It was such a fun wedding, and there were a lot of very enthusiastic dancers who kept me entertained and shooting until the very end! I hope you enjoy the slideshow everyone, have a great honeymoon you two, I loved being a part of your wedding day.

Jenn and Tim’s engagement shoot at Wells harbor

Tuesday, August 3, 2010

1280833999 598 900 598 900

I met Jenn and Tim down at Wells harbor for their engagement shoot, and it was such a perfect location for engagements that I think I’ll be going back again! Wells is a coastal tourist mecca in Maine, but Wells harbor seems to be a quiet gem that only locals frequent. Jenn happens to be a local, so she knows the area well and was able to lead me to some great spots.

Their little one, Mason even made a cameo appearance at the end of the shoot for some fun family portraits. By the time of their wedding next spring he’ll be up and walking around, I can’t wait to see how he has changed.

Angie and Adam’s engagement shoot in Portland, Maine

Monday, August 2, 2010

1280773852 598 900 598 900

This weekend was one of those ‘Chamber of Commerce’ weekends. It was warm, yet not humid, sunny, and a nice sea-breeze was coming off the water. What’s more perfect on a day like that than strolling around Portland and ‘showing the love’? Nothing!

I met Angie and Adam last October, and their wedding is going to be at the fabulous Pineland Farm this coming October. They came to Portland yesterday just for our shoot, and it was a great way to reconnect, and prep for the big day.

Plus, it was so nice in town, I think I convinced them to at least stay for dinner! See you two again when the leaves are turning and the air is crisp! I can’t wait.

Ariel and Hunter’s fun and fabulous seaside wedding

Thursday, July 1, 2010

1277996495 599 900 599 900

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

1277733978 599 900 599 900

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!
