Ram Island Farm Wedding in Cape Elizabeth, Maine

Oh dear, I am waaaaaaay behind with my blogging.  The biggest reason it is hard for me to find time to blog is because I am wandering around the state of Maine photographing so many AMAZING weddings!!!! For that, I am happy. I am doing what I LOVE doing. It's always nice when I get a few extra minutes to share these photos and stories with you. This time, I have so many to share with you from the last few seasons, that I will only be posting photos, and not much in the way of description. The one thing these photos ALL have in common is their authenticity. Hopefully you can see each couple's unique personalities in their photos.

Wedding in Blue Hill Maine

Anne and Hannes' day was picture perfect at Anne's family home on the ocean in Blue Hill, Maine. I don't think I have ever seen a more beautiful location with blue ocean all around.  Anne was my kind of bride, not too fearful of moving about in her dress, etc. Maybe a little too adventuresome for my comfort, she walked out on the mud flats at low tide, with her dress and shoes on, for couples shots. It was slippery on the rocks and I really thought she was going to fall in at times! This was all BEFORE the ceremony. Hannes on the other hand was a little less aggressive. Hannes (from Germany) was more conservative in his approach and careful of his leather shoes from Italy :)  After the ceremony, the bridal party cruised in a local fishing boat up to the little village of Blue Hill, to the Arbor-vine Restaurant for reception. It was truly a delightful evening with wines paired with the most amazing food courses. It was "hands down" the BEST meal we have ever had in our career as wedding photographers. The Old Maine Cape with  Latin jazz band playing in the back ground was an atmospheric dream. Love, love, love it.

Wedding at the Samoset Resort in Rockland, Maine

Jessica and Chris were married on a warm August day at the Samoset Resort on the rocky coast of Rockland, Maine.  Jessica looked beautiful wearing a wedding dress she picked out on the TV show, "Say Yes to the Dress".  Her flowers were also extra special because her Mother made all the bouquets, table centerpieces, everything!  Both the ceremony and cocktail hour were held on the back lawn of the Samoset overlooking the golf course and ocean beyond. Gregory and I had lots of fun cruising about with Jessica and Chris on golf carts for the "couples shots". We drove down to the Break-water for some amazing romantic landscape shots.

One of the highlights of the evening was the First Dance between Jessica and Chris. Wow, these guys really hammed it up with a compilation of upbeat songs. They certainly put their heart and soul into it.  The cake was entirely cute (check it out), and the photo booth and dancing kept their guests happy late into the evening.

The Samoset really is a dream place to get married. Everybody just loves the wedding coordinator, Will. He's the best ever! I highly recommend him. The other nice thing about the Samoset is that if it is raining, there are 3 separate ballrooms to use for ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. Hopefully it doesn't rain on your wedding day, as there are hundreds of acres of gorgeous ocean front to enjoy. Congrats Chris and Jess! You were by far my favorite "Say Yes to the Dress" couple, ever! Fun and sweet!
