Celeste & Matt

Celeste & Matt,

When you work long enough in the wedding business you eventually become friendly with the other professionals in the business. Its all business… But when a fellow wedding professional hires you as a vendor at their wedding, it feels different. Honored is perhaps the best way to explain it.

This was just this case last weekend as I photographed Celeste & Matt’s wedding. I started with Celeste and the ladies in the morning while the second photographer (John) started his day with the guys. John owns his our studio in Chicago and came to Maine to photograph this weeding with me and to take in a few amazing days of leaf peeping. Check out his website

I truly enjoyed this wedding and had a blast working with Celeste and Matt. Working a wedding along side a bride who works in the "biz" is a true joy. Celeste just seemed to role through her wedding day with ease. As I look back at this day I wish only that I had more time to spend with these two together. It is my hope that Celeste might call for a trash the dress session. (Hint hint...wink wink)

A bride with an axe? Each wedding is a chance as an artist to give our clients something a little different. Something no other bride will get on her wedding day. I know its not too normal, but Celeste and Matt have spent the last year renovating an old house. (the house looks amazing inside & nice deck matt!!) Anyway... in the backyard is an old shed and Celeste thought it would be fun to use in her photos. Major props to you. The shed was an amazing background and the axes was the icing on the cake. Bravo to you for being willing to pose in font of the old gem... Un-knowingly, the guys used an old shed for their background across town with John. Perfect!!!!!!!

Anyway... the day was a major success and the Tony Boffa Band put on one heck of a show for all 250 guests.

Check out the photos and the link to the slide show for now.
