Nick and Jess | Bethel Inn Wedding | Bethel, ME Wedding Photographer

With the world as it is these days, it’s so refreshing to get out there and celebrate joy! I had been looking forward to capturing Nick and Jessica’s wedding for a while, and it did not disappoint! It couldn’t have ended up being a much more perfect day in Bethel for them to get married. While it may have been a little warm outside, the skies were blue, and the clouds were plentiful! These two are such a great match, and I loved seeing some of the small moments between them with big smiles. I hope you love reliving the day, as much as I enjoyed capturing it!

If you get a chance to do a little golf cart joyriding on your wedding day, why not?! ;)

Colby + Hannah | Ellsworth, Maine Wedding Photographer

During a season of unusual Maine weather, Colby and Hannah couldn't have had a more perfect day! The weeks leading up to their wedding were full of brutal heat, humidity, and constant rain.  Thankfully, that was not the case here! I started my day by joining them at this beautiful lakeside property where everyone was getting ready. What a perfect backdrop it made for the first look and a few portraits. This was such a fun loving group to photograph for the day, with plenty of laughter and goofing around! Besides the portraits at the end of the day, one of my favorite moments was the video that played during the reception, and the reactions that went with it. You can see that below! I hope you enjoy reliving the day through the photos and stories below, and thanks for coming!

The boys certainly were having some good times with their photos, ranging from romantic titanic themes to counter-terrorism, haha!

After we finished at the lake, we headed down to the church in Ellsworth for the ceremony, where the love and laughter continued through the vows.

During the reception, a video was shared detailing the story of their first kiss. It was so great and impossible to only convey through the photos, so I'm glad to share this video by Jo Lord. Still awesome the second time around!

While not as commonly done,  Colby and Hannah wanted some post-reception photos so I joined them after they left the reception. We spent an hour nearby and captured so many beautiful photos, which I'm so glad we did! I can't imagine not having these images to close out the day! :D
