Church

If you’ve seen any of our recent wedding posts, you’ll know that I love asking the bride and groom to tell us about their wedding memories. Ashley and Mike had a lot to say about their wedding day, and their answers are below – I hope you’ll read them. But first, here are my ten favorite images from the day:

This is Erin and Trevor, who got married at the Laurel Hill Chapel in Saco, and then had their reception at the Coastal House in Wells, Maine. We asked Erin to tell us a little about their wedding, some of the details of the event, and what she liked most on her wedding day. I hope you enjoy hearing about it!

A super fun wedding – church ceremony, park formals, romantics at city hall, cocktail hour upstairs at Grace, and then a reception downstairs at Grace

A great wedding story – downtown Portland in the morning, the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception for the ceremony, Deering Oaks, and the Eastland Park ballroom for the reception. I hope you’ll look through the album.

The words ‘showered with love’ give new meaning for Jessica and Mike who shared a wonderful wedding day with their family and friends – albeit a rainy one.  No worries for this fun-loving couple, with all the love and attention they were showered with that day, no one paid any attention to what was happening [...]

  When Courtney and John first told us about their plans for the big day, they said they wanted intimate and elegant, but they also wanted fun.  They certainly succeeded with all of those things…. but also managed to hit on a little note of ‘grandiose’  - have you seen the Landing at Pine Point [...]

A great Wentworth wedding with a church service at Saint Joseph’s, and a reception in the Wentworth’s Grand Ballroom.

  From the moment we met George and Julie, Lucia and I loved them as a couple.  They’re fun, caring, emphatic, romantic, upward, sentimental, adorable, and a whole lot more.  Their wedding was all of that.  We met Julie at their apartment, then went to George at the church.  They had a first glance ceremony [...]

  A truly Grace-full day for Emily and Andy.  The weather was just perfect, and everything went as planned for this charmed couple.  Emily and Andy are Maine natives who live Oklahama (Andy is stationed there with the US Armed Forces) were treated to a fabulous day with an intimate ceremony followed by a fabulous [...]

I love winter weddings!  There’s something about seeing a bride wear Uggs to really make a wedding fun.  Tara and Doug saw each other before their wedding (look for a first glance ceremony), and then we were able to do all of their formal pictures before their church ceremony, so after the ceremony ended, we [...]

The Samoset Resort in Rockland, ME, has been the site of many of our favorite weddings over the years, and Emily and Jeff’s was no exception.  A beautiful day, a great celebration, music by the Bob Charest Band – a perfect wedding all around.   I hope you enjoy their album.  If you’d like to [...]

A gorgeous wedding reception at the Wentworth, proceeded by a ceremony at a Greek church in Manchester, NH.

The Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception. The Eastland Park Ballroom. And a gorgeous couple, totally in love with each other, having a perfect wedding.

This was the first wedding of our summer season, and if Jeff and Emily’s wedding was any indication, this is going to be a great year for weddings. The ceremony was at the Congregational Church in Camden, and the reception was at the Samoset, and Will Clayton and his staff through a flawless party! Okay, let’s [...]

Here is the album that won the Maine Professional Photographers Association’s Wedding Album of the Year award. I hope you enjoy it.

On the coldest day of the year, as the sun was dipping below the horizon, and the groom and I both stood shivering beneath wool coats, the most persevering bride I ever worked with asked me if we could spend a little more time outside taking pictures on the piers.  Thirty degrees below freezing, with [...]

Three different dresses.  A tea ceremony.  A first glance session. And a trip to the beach and Fort Williams park.  And then after the church, a hip and swanky reception at the Portland Company (you know, the place where they hold the flower show, but it didn’t look anything at all like that when Annie got [...]

  Dawn and Bob got ready at the Wentworth By The Sea, saw each other for the first time of their wedding day at the Wentworth Marina, and then had their reception at the gorgeous Atkinson Resort and County Club, in Atkinson, New Hampshire.  The day started out pouring (torrential rains, really – I got soaked!), and [...]

This is a very small selection of my favorite images from Carey and Ben’s wedding – a beautiful wedding that we were thrilled to be a part of. Carey got ready in one of the Wentworth’s ocean-side suites….

Wow!  Last Saturday we shot one of the most regal and elegant weddings I’ve seen in a long time, in downtown Portland, at the Eastland Park Hotel.  Though it was a rainy day in Maine, the Eastland offered us up their entire hotel to work within, and I don’t think anyone cared what the weather [...]

I’ve known Victoria’s parents, Jeff and Lisa, for a couple of years now, since we photographed their other daughter Gabby for her senior portrait. Their warmth and hospitality should have led me to expect a gracious and sweet family, but I’ve got to say, the Kempton and St. Louis clans must be the nicest people [...]

Ask any experienced photographer what the most important thing to them is when shooting a wedding, and you’ll probably hear ‘Time’.  The timeline for a wedding day determines the number of photographic opportunities.  When Michelle and Ray planned their wedding, they knew they wanted a receiving line after their ceremony, photos with their wedding party [...]

I missed it.  Because Lucia and I were shooting a wedding in Portsmouth (Michelle and Ray), we missed Danielle and Kevin’s wedding, and the other two shooters on our core team, Chet and Amanda, covered this wedding.  Most of the time, we all work as a team, but occassionally we split up into two if [...]

Weddings As promised, here is the gallery of favorites for Danielle and Kevin.   Thanks for looking.

Here are our favorite images from this incredible wedding:  

This is a wedding I was looking forward to for a long time! I met Ashley about a year ago, and immedietly loved her.  She was stunning, down to earth, and marrying her high school sweetheart (yes, I’m a romantic sap – I love that stuff!), and she promised that all the bridesmaids would be wearing [...]

Before you ask, the church below is in Massachusetts – I don’t remember where. I can find out, if you really need me to, but it’s definitely the most room I’ve had to work in around New England. This was a travelling wedding – Lucia and I met Theresa in New Hampshire while Chet met [...]

So it’s Saturday night – Sunday morning, and I can’t really wind down from today’s wedding.  Great couple, awesome wedding party, and maybe the last day of the year perfect at the beach for pictures.  I posted Joey and Jessica’s engagement images a few months ago, and really want you to see some of their [...]

Some days are made for weddings, and Saturday was one of them.  Evelyn and Ted had an incredible wedding, surrounded by people who loved them. Here’s a few images: Thanks for looking.  

I just posted the slideshow and gallery from Brit and Zach’s wedding, so it’s safe to show a couple of images from their wedding here.  This was at the end of June, in Damarascotta.  The church is Bunker Hill Baptist, and it’s smaller than it looks in these pictures.  Literally, it’s so small, there was [...]

Shot at Sable Oaks in South Portland, by our fabulous associate Tim Greenway and I.  The pool shot at the end of the series is worth the scroll down.  Thanks for looking. Will

If I’ve ever met a couple that reminded me of royalty it is Crystal and Will.  She carries herself like Grace Kelley, talks like a Disney Princess, and is every bit as beautiful as Audrey Hepburn.  Will is strong and silent, with the ability to carry himself like Prince Charming.  He is always impeccably attired, [...]
