			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p id="top" />We met Mary Ellen and Dean at Mary Ellen&#8217;s sister&#8217;s wedding last year (<a href="http://www.focusphotography.info/focusphotoblog/wedding/katie-and-joe-at-the-stage-neck-inn/">Katie and Joe at the Stageneck Inn</a>)<br />
and we were honored and thrilled when they asked us to photograph their own wedding last month.  The weather was glorious, the Nonantum was relaxed and elegant, Brenda&#8217;s Bloomers provided amazing flowers &#8211; it was all picture-perfect.  And I really want to thank Mary Ellen and Dean&#8217;s families, who were very gracious, warm, and helpful to us. </p>
<p>Here are a few of our favorites &#8211; the bride and groom already have the link to the complete gallery, but there were so many beautiful images I wanted you to see. Let&#8217;s start with the bride, getting into her dress.  I love the expressions on the bridesmaids.:</p>

<p align="left"> Already this year, we&#8217;ve shot some amazing weddings, but on May 2nd, we had the most incredible wedding at the Nonantum. Christa Stetson and Greg Silva, both of whom work in the wedding and hospitality business at the York Harbor Inn, had a gorgeous wedding at the Nonantum. The weather was beautiful, warm, and sunny; the staff and service at the Nonantum were at the top of their game (amazing for so early in the season); and Christa and Greg had chosen an all-star lineup of wedding vendors, including Let Them Eat Cake, Brenda&#8217;s Bloomers, Fred Pappalardo as DJ, and the whole entourage from Focus (Lucia and I were joined by Chet and Amanda).</p>
<p align="left"> Here are a few of my favorite images from this amazing wedding:</p>
<p align="center"><img title="Christa, the bridal party, and her parents at the bar in the Nonantum" src="http://www.focusphotography.info/focusphotoblog/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/cgblog-01.jpg" alt="" width="750" height="561" /></p>
<p align="center">Christa, the bridal party, and her parents waiting in the bar before the ceremony.</p>

Greg and all the guys before the ceremony
</p>
<p align="center"><img title="The Bride and her father before the wedding ceremony" src="http://www.focusphotography.info/focusphotoblog/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/cgblog-03.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="386" /></p>
<p align="center">Christa with her father, Mark Stetson, minutes before walking down the aisle. </p>
<p align="center">The four images below best demonstrate the emotions leading up to this ceremony: <br />
She&#8217;s Crying, She&#8217;s Pensive, She&#8217;s Laughing &#8211; all in just a few steps
</p>
<p align="center"><img src="http://www.focusphotography.info/focusphotoblog/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/cgblog-04.jpg" alt="" width="386" height="500" /><img src="http://www.focusphotography.info/focusphotoblog/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/cgblog-05.jpg" alt="" width="386" height="500" /><img src="http://www.focusphotography.info/focusphotoblog/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/cgblog-06.jpg" alt="" width="386" height="500" /><img src="http://www.focusphotography.info/focusphotoblog/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/cgblog-07.jpg" alt="" width="386" height="500" /></p>

<p align="center">Hey, real men cry at weddings, what can I tell you? </p>
<p align="center"><img src="http://www.focusphotography.info/focusphotoblog/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/cgblog-11.jpg" alt="" width="494" height="500" /></p>

<p align="center"><img src="http://www.focusphotography.info/focusphotoblog/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/cgblog-15.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="394" /></p>
<p align="center">This is a shot of the cocktail party, for those of you that missed it because you were with me&#8230;.</p>
<p align="center"><img src="http://www.focusphotography.info/focusphotoblog/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/cgblog-16.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="367" /></p>
<p align="center"><img src="http://www.focusphotography.info/focusphotoblog/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/cgblog-17.jpg" alt="" width="501" height="500" /></p>
<p align="center"><img src="http://www.focusphotography.info/focusphotoblog/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/cgblog-18.jpg" alt="" width="386" height="500" /><img src="http://www.focusphotography.info/focusphotoblog/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/cgblog-19.jpg" alt="" width="367" height="500" /></p>
<p align="center"><img src="http://www.focusphotography.info/focusphotoblog/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/cgblog-20.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="367" /></p>
<p align="center"><img src="http://www.focusphotography.info/focusphotoblog/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/cgblog-21.jpg" alt="" width="367" height="500" /></p>
<p align="center"><img title="Bride and Groom at the Lighthouse in Kennebunkport, Maine" src="http://www.focusphotography.info/focusphotoblog/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/cgblog-22.jpg" alt="" width="750" height="534" /></p>
<p align="center">If you haven&#8217;t been to the Nonantum before, this is the back end of their property, just in front of the docks.  The shot above was taken<br />
at about 7:15 &#8211; just before the sun dipped out of the sky altogether.
</p>
<p align="center"><img src="http://www.focusphotography.info/focusphotoblog/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/cgblog-23.jpg" alt="" width="367" height="500" /></p>
<p align="center">The Entire Bridal Party:  First, you should know how incredible nervous I was about the weight distribution on the dock. <br />
Can you see how bowed it is in the center?  I was certain we were going to lose one of the ushers at any moment,<br />
but after bringing everyone down the ramp to the docks, no one was leaving until we had the shot. 
</p>
<p align="center"><img src="http://www.focusphotography.info/focusphotoblog/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/cgblog-24.jpg" alt="" width="750" height="461" /></p>
<p align="center">I think it was worth it.</p>
<p align="center">Here&#8217;s the same location, with just the bride and groom.  My favorite image from this wedding:</p>
<p align="center"><img src="http://www.focusphotography.info/focusphotoblog/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/cgblog-25.jpg" alt="" width="534" height="750" /></p>
