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!

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.
I would love any comments from our blog readers!
Does it load fast enough?
Do you like the new photos?

Trisha & Aaron, Saint Ann’s Church, Kennebunk Maine.
This spring in Maine has been 1 rain storm after another. It seems the days have been marked by the number of inches that had fallen and not by the day of the week. On June 26th, for about 4 hours, the sun poked is head through the clouds and graced Trisha and Aaron’s wedding with a warm blanket of golden light. Normally sun in Maine is part of the spring/summer gig, but this spring has been a different story. Thanks the lord for sun on this day!
I met with Trisha and the girls as they prepped for the service and we all jumped on the trolly to head out to Saint Ann’s. For me, the day was highlighted by getting to spend 20 minutes with Trisha and Aaron alone out on the point at Saint Ann’s. Time alone with a new couple is always so amazing as their excitement seems to jump right into the images. The images below are special in another way as the car used in the images is near and dear to Trisha as is was her Dad’s. I suspect he dad would have loved to know that we used his car for some fun
wedding photos!
Congratulations to Trisha and Aaron!
Album Draft:
Jenna and Brian – Hilton Garden Auburn
I’m not sure if it’s Irish luck or just that I’ve made a few extra deposits in the karma bank lately, but of the last few wedding I’ve had, each has been blessed with a most exquisite weather pattern. Perhaps I should give credit to my clients and their good karma. Whatever the case with 29 days of rain in 32 days you sort of have to wonder how you score your wedding on a day with clear crisp blue skies, gentle August like breezes and, temps hovering in the upper 70’s. Such was the day that Jenna dn Brian were lucky enough to seal their vow to each other.
I spent the morning hanging with the ladies, and creating images of the details of preparation. Then it was on to the ceremony, a catholic mass, which I always like because of the extra time allowed to capture different images and find alternate angles from which to shoot.
Overall it was a great to be a photographer! It was a gorgeous day, a fun and attractive wedding party, and an Jenna and Brian were so much fun to photograph! Thanks so much for having me there to capture the day. Enjoy these few images and the slideshow.
Kate and George at The Red Barn
Kate and George got married on what was the second nice day of the late spring/early summer. No, really there has only been about three. I’m thinking, “go buy a lottery ticket or something”. I met with Kate and George over beers in Portland a few weeks before the wedding and I just new it was going to be a fun day. They were so relaxed and willing to accept just about anything that was thrown their way. I often wonder if that approach to life doesn’t reward it’s follower with good fortune. Such was definitelythe case with the day that Kate and George were married. I enjoyed every minute of their day. They were
married outside under bright skies with puffy clouds and a subtle westerly breeze. I heard more than one guest mention that it felt more like a day in September than May.
The reception took place at The Red Barn at Outlook Farm(a growing favorite of mine). The crowd was lively and the night turned quickly into a party. Thanks so much for having me there to capture your day. You guys were awesome to work with.
Kaitlin and Ricky
A couple weeks ago, on what was arguably one of the most gorgeous spring days Maine has ever seen I got to photograph the wedding of Kaitlin and Ricky. The day was ruled by blue skies, temps in the high 70’s, a fresh breeze, and lots of people celebrating the love between these two people. Kait and Ricky are young, full of positive energy, and totally in love. They’ve built a wonderful house together, are solid in their chosen careers, and have set themselves up for a great life together. It was a treat to spend the day capturing this incredible day. I can’t wait to see what is next for these two as they start their life together; and of course to capture it :)
Here are just a couple of pics from their wedding day. More to come.
Joel & Anne,
December 6th, 2008. Joel & Anne.
Egg on my face:
Normally, I pride myself on being able to have all of the album designs, photo edits, video slide shows and customized website for my clients done about two or three weeks after their
wedding.
But I have officially just let one slip through the cracks. :-(
Many of my avid blog readers know that on Dec. 31st, I had a baby girl. Ella is our first child, and while she is only 10 weeks old, she already has me wrapped around her baby fingers. When she makes so much as a whimper, I can’t stop myself from running to her side as if she was taking her last breath. Perhaps it’s because we spent a stressful week with her at Maine Med when she was only 2 weeks old, or perhaps its because I just adore her smile.
…So
Joel & Anne, please accept my most sincere apologies for the long delay. As a way to make up for this oversight, I will be upgrading your wedding album to our biggest size and I have also posted a 50% off sale on all of your wedding photos for the next week. :-) Enjoy!
The Wedding
In December, I had the pleasure of driving a few hours north to Presque Isle, Maine to spend a weekend with two amazing families. It was clear when I arrived that a true sense of “community” still exists in this remote northern Maine town. From the first moment I met the family at the rehearsal, I was 100% sure this winter wedding was going to be a major blast!
Joel, Anne, and I had BIG PLANS for wedding days photos, but when we awake to a windy 3
degree cold snap, the plans quickly changed to indoor activities, with one exception.
The service was held in a church that Anne’s dad had helped restore. So cute and just so personal, it was a perfect service. To make the service even more perfect, the snow started to fall as we all made our way out of the church. It was a scene straight
from a movie as Anne and Joel jumped in their horse-drawn carriage draped in new fallen snow.
Congratulations to you both. You are an amazing couple and great people. Your photos clearly show how much you love each other.
P.S. Anne & Joel, How’s the new house? Is the pool open for the season yet?
heheh
Below are a few links, slide shows and other info that Anne and Joel having been waiting for?
Here is a slide show of your album draft:
Here is a slideshow of a few of my favorite photos from the pre wedding shoot and from the wedding day.
