Amy & Paulo’s Wedding
An amazing day with an amazing family. Words can’t explain how much fun it was to reconnect with this family as I had a chance to photograph a second wedding for them. Something tells me I might be seeing them again in 12 months for a third wedding. wink wink!
The power of positive people
Last friday I had a shoot with Heather and Tom(a client for 2010). To be honest I showed up at the shoot with low energy and my creative juices were struggling. This doesn’t happen to me but once or twice a year, but when it does I can always dig deep. This past friday was the end of a long week that culminated with a memorial service for a long time family friend. I simply wanted to sit back on my couch with a glass of wine and watch a movie or do something mindless. I showed up at one of my favorite places to shoot and they were there waiting for me. Cliche as it sounds it was like that little yellow beetle they drove up in was full of sunshine and goodness. Heather and Tom were ready to go and were in such good spirits that I couldn’t help be affected positively. We spent the next hour cruising around the park and creating photos of the two of them. They were up for just about anything I could come up with, and even better, had a bunch of really great ideas of their own. At the end of our time together this couple had unknowingly found my “reset” button. My “chi” was dramatically improved and I had formed a great bond with an upcoming client. Oh yeah – we made some cool photos together too.
Thanks you guys!!!!! – my whole weekend started on a positive note because of the two of you!!!
Migis Lodge Wedding
I just got back from an amazing wedding at Migis Lodge on Sebago. A week ago the weather man called for rain on this day; well….. He was wrong. Melissa and Tony could not have asked for a more beautiful day. Just amazing!
Photos: Melissa and Tony loved the unique look of their engagement photographs, so we did some parallel recreation on their wedding day. Backed by a strong sunset, a few of these siloutte photos are just breathtaking. Not conventional, but they are beautiful and creative. Thanks for hosting a great party, the first of many I am sure.
Migis Lodge Review: You could not ask for a nicer place for a wedding. Situated on Sebago lake this venue overlooks a few small islands just off shore. The ceremony site is located perfectly to watch the sunset and the reception site is a classic Maine gem. Simple elegance with a touch of Maine might be the best way to describe this venue. The 25 foot buffet was perhaps the best wedding food I have ever had. Really…. the food is to die for!
Thanks guys!
I had a blast.
Off to Migis Lodge
I am headed out the door to shoot a wedding today at Maine’s Migis Lodge on Sebago Lake. Despite being a super fun place to shoot, this couple has the “it factor.” I am excited to see what we can come up with today… Lord knows their TTD shoot was a blast!
The Colony Hotel Wedding
My blog articles have gotten away from me in the last few months and its time to kick it back into high gear. Moving forward I have decided to write less and show more photos! I think that is what “my people” want anyway!!!!
So… Here are a few images from a recent wedding at the Colony Hotel in Kennebunkport Maine. It was an amazing day and one hell of a party.
New Website!
I have been working on a new “look” for our wedding website.

Kathryn + Anthony: Love Session
Let me just start by saying that we have the best clients in the world! Thats right… THE BEST!
I met these two for a cold beer in Portland’s Old Port as a way to start off the shoot on a lighter note. Beer always seems to make the groom relax a little when you are about to ask him to be a model for two hours. :-) Even before our malted beverages arrived, it was clear to me that Kathryn was super excited for the shoot…. And it shows in her photos, as the smile on her face was infectious.
We started on Wharf Street for a few traditional engagement photos and then quickly found our way into the “Love Session.” It was so obvious that the beer helped because Tony fell right into place and managed to rather enjoy kissing the neck of his lovely bride-to-be. (But can you blame him? )
Anyway…. This shoot ended a week of amazing TTD and Love Sessions. After having a blast in the Old Port we drove out to Ferry Beach for a quick shoot at DEAD LOW TIDE. A few of the reflection photos have already been added to our portfolio.

Too funny not to share!
My good friend Katie is a life coach and is also the founder of “The Levity Project”. She’s an amazing woman with fantastic energy. If you are interested in how to put a little more laughter and levity into your life I highly recommend that you give her site a look. (Here)
Today she posted one of the most hysterical wedding related videos I think I have ever seen. Check it out – you will not be dissapointed, I promise!
Skye & Josh Engagement Shoot
Skye and Josh are getting married this fall at Nubble Light House and so it seemed almost too perfect to take them to Portland Head Light for their engagement shoot. Skye is from Maine and yet, she had never set foot on the grounds of the world’s most photographed lighthouse, until yesterday.
Below are 7 of the 500 photographs taken during the two-hour engagement shoot at this historic site. While editing the photographs from last night’s session, I was excited to see how clearly in love Skye and Josh are with each other. Yes, I know it’s a bit corny, but I truly loved this shoot because these two people seem to just fit together.
