I was so happy to hear that David and Linnea’s memorable Southern Maine Community College (SMCC) wedding would be featured on Style Me Pretty’s ‘Little Black Book’ blog. And of course, all the thanks goes to Francie at Tangorra Wedding Planning.
Check out the site for a lovely selection of images, from a lovely day!

Ashley and Ross are one of my only ‘local’ couples for this coming wedding season, and since we’re both familiar with what this part of Maine has to offer, we have come up with lots of fun ideas for their photos next year. One of my favorite ideas includes a plan to get some pictures on the Ferris Wheel at Palace Playland on Old Orchard Beach. When Ashley and I first met, she asked me if I’d be up for that, and I practically jumped out of my chair! I’ve always wanted to shoot wedding photos at an amusement park, and Ashley and Ross will be perfect subjects; they’re fun, open, and up for pretty much anything, I learned this at their engagement shoot in Portland last weekend. Oh, and I forgot to mention they’re going to have the cutest little ring bearer ever, their 2 year old son Colby! Isn’t he a doll? He’s also reportedly known to tear up the dance floor at weddings! I can’t wait!
I met Charlie several years ago when I photographed James and Emily’s wedding in Portland. James and Emily are the couple from my almost famous ‘Wharf Street wedding party photo’, if you look closely in the slideshow running at the top of this blog you’ll see Charlie’s head poking out in the back! When Charlie was looking for a photographer for his own upcoming wedding I was happy to hear from him, even though Charlie and Karina are getting married in Connecticut! We met up last weekend for their engagement shoot in Portsmouth and had a blast strolling around this classic New England town. I’ll see you guys again in August!
As you may know, I only shoot a select number of weddings a year (usually no more than twelve in the traditional Maine wedding season of June-October), so if you’re planning a wedding in 2010 here are the dates that I have already booked. If your date is not listed below, it is still open, and I look forward to hearing from you soon, 2010 is filling up fast!
Please note that these are Saturdays, but I never shoot more than one wedding a weekend, so the corresponding Fridays and Sundays are also not available.
Portland’s Old Port is perhaps my favorite place to shoot in Maine, within just a matter of blocks you can have a gritty working waterfront, or a cobblestone street which is often mistaken for being worlds away. Gabrielle and Ron were up for anything, even though Gabrielle was in a fabulous pair of lavender high-heels (and that adorable dress!). Most women who live in Portland know how hard it is to navigate Wharf Street in heels!
I’m really looking forward to their wedding on Peaks next year. Thanks to Gabrielle and Ron for making this a great start next year’s wedding season!
I was so looking forward to Maggie and Matt’s wedding day at the Three Chimney’s Inn in Durham, New Hampshire. Maggie is one of those brides with impeccable taste and a unparalleled attention to detail, so I knew that it was going to be a joy to photograph. Plus, after getting to know them at their engagement session, I knew that they are fun, adorable and up for pretty much anything.
I’ve been lucky to be able to say that of all of the weddings I’ve shot this year, none have been rained on, and it was one of the wettest summers on record! Early in the day, it looked like my lucky streak was about to end. We took a cute little trolley into Portsmouth for wedding party photos and it was pouring, but the skies eventually cleared and were were able to take some great shots at the Wentworth By The Sea, and we had perfect light and no raindrops for the wedding itself! All in all it was such a lovely day, Maggie and Matt’s guests boogied to the tunes of Matty B., a versatile and talented wedding entertainer, and the day went so smoothly thanks to the very professional ladies of The Wedding Belle.
Maggie and Matt, thanks for helping me end the wedding season on such a high note! I wish you two all the best, you deserve it!
