Diana & Matt's Wedding. Newagen Seaside Inn, Boothbay Harbor Maine

Last weekend I had the pleasure of working with Diana and Matt in Boothbay Maine at the Newagan Seaside Inn. The day started out rather wet as an angry sky poured rain from the heavens as the bride and groom both prepared for their wedding.

The men enjoyed a few homemade beers as I thought the married men in the group how to use their wedding band as an emergency bottle opener. You should have scene their faces when they saw that trick. Wish I had a photo of it.

The ladies prepped in usual fashion with hair and makeup onsite in their private ocean side cottage. It was a beautiful service and as the bride and groom exited the church the weather lifted and the sun began to poke out from the clouds. An hour later we had some of the best light of the season and a sunset that might just have stolen a little of Diana’s show. Both the sunset and Dianna looked amazing in the golden light just before the sun dropped over the horizon of the ocean. It was a sight only fit for a wedding night.

Thanks to you both for making me feel so much apart of your wedding and for setting aside a little extra time to get a few of those special photos. Your investment in time on your wedding appears to have been well worth it as many of the photos are just perfect.

Below you will find a link to 200 of my favorite photos set to music.

Samantha & TJ

This time of year is crazy as I spend most of my weekdays photographing High School Seniors. By the end of the Senior Season I am left a little tired and a lot drained, grasping for new ideas and ways to be creative as an artist. This is just how I felt yesterday and then came along TJ and Samantha. A 2008 Bride (and Groom) of mine that arrived at my office (the park next to the house) for their engagement photos. The shoot started off like so many other engagement shoots and then made a right hand turn towards unique!

Engagement photos don’t always have to be boring and these two were up for anything. Just the kick in the pants I needed and their photos show it. Thanks to you both for the inspiration and for a memorable hour. Perhaps the most fun I have had at an engagement shoot.

The rest of the photos will be up on Monday!

Cheers

Jenni & Eric ~A Maine Summer Camp Wedding~

SLIDE SHOW LINK

About a months ago in the New York Time was an article about a new trend in the wedding business. A trend I knew nothing about. I guess it is becoming popular for people to have end of the summer weddings held at summer camps in Maine just after the campers leave. What a perfect idea!

This past weekends wedding was held at Camp Manitou in Oakland Maine. I think many of the guest from out of town arrived a few days early and stayed in the campers cabins. A weekend long party that ended with a wedding and reception. Camp Manitou was a perfect place for a wedding and a blast to take photos of the bride and groom. We used the basket ball court, the mini green monster complete with a citgo sign and of course the lake. This couple was great fun to work with and as I review the photos I am find myself smiling because they seem to be kissing is almost half of the photos. Its really cute to see them so excited on their wedding day. It kind of reminds me of how I felt on my wedding day.

These are a few of the photos from the wedding and below is a link to the slide show of 100 of my favorite photos. Turn of your speakers and enjoy.

Meaghan and Matt

Occasionally you get to shoot a wedding and after getting to know the bride and groom a little you start to wonder how it is that your lives haven't crossed paths sooner. This past weekend was just such an event. The common interests we discovered ranged from skis, to boats, to bikes, to rivers, and interestingly, crafting tasty homebrews. Wish I had a chance to sample yours Matt. I hope that someday we get to cross on a wilderness path

It was as perfect a day weather wise that one could imagine. Crystal clear skies, crisp air, warm but not hot, and the tone of the day was "laid back and fun". I got a chance to hang out with the ladies as they prepped, which was a laugh a minute. The ceremony was thought provoking, elegant, and yet perfectly simple. It fit their personalities well.

The reception was the perfect back yard party with live music, great food, and a whitewater raft full of beverages. People danced and partied and were still at it hard when I left. I imagine that a few of the more rugged souls were still at it til the early hours of the morning.

Thanks for a great day Meaghan and Matt. I had a lot of fun and hope that we cross paths soon.
