Chris + Michelle | Point Lookout Wedding | Northport, Maine Photographer

Frankly, it’s impossible to try and compact this party of a wedding in a single blog post - it would never load! There are so many photos, you’ll have to head over to the proofing gallery as these highlights hardly touch the surface. This whole day was a blast from start to finish, and I was glad to be there for it! Chris and Michelle are easy going, fun, and well loved if you judge by the company they keep. To have such a large wedding party that gets along so well, you know what ties them together are these two. Ahead, you’ll find lots of laughter, love, and good times. Again, I had so much fun capturing this day, and I hope you enjoying reliving the day through some of the images below!

During the getting ready, the girls had these cutouts of Michelle as a kid, and I told her she had to use it for the first look! haha

While a really really ridiculously huge wedding party is not something I would normally recommend, this party was a riot! Just in case the photos and outtakes don’t make it obvious haha.

After a slightly teary first look with her dad, it was time for the ceremony!

While everyone transitioned to the Pavilion for the reception, we ran down to the beach for some quick portraits around sunset! And check out that full moonrise as well!

The speeches and toasts were among the funniest I have heard in a while, but also the most brutal! Michelle’s friends took the opportunity to go ahead and give her a full on ROAST of embarrassing stories. Clearly it was taken in stride, but wow, haha!

They also took time to recognize Michelle’s grandfather, who had recently celebrated his 100th birthday!!!

With the formalities finished, it was time to party! I was glad to work alongside The Bob Charest band for one last hurrah, as they’ll sadly be calling it quits for other ventures after this wedding season.

TJ + Molly | Spruce Point Inn Wedding | Boothbay, Maine Photographer

I had the pleasure of meeting TJ and Molly a while back for coffee, and had been looking forward to this wedding for a while! After our chat, there was mild concern as to whether "Officer Ellis" or "TJ" would be the one to show up at the wedding, but it was TJ who was there for sure haha! It turned out to be a rather hot, but beautiful day down in Boothbay Harbor for their wedding. The day was full of smiles, laughs, and love! I'm so happy that they chose me to capture their special day, and I hope you enjoy reliving the day through the photos!

Molly and her mom made all of the runners for the tables! Also love the personalized BBQ sauce wedding favors!

Anyone who knows Molly, knows her affinity for all things "ducky".  It's a reoccurring theme you'll see as the day unfolds. ;)

The doors of the church hardly had time to open before TJ started becoming emotional.  It never gets old to see a groom tear up as his bride walks down the aisle!

Molly has her duckies, but TJ has his Subaru STI. Molly talked about how his Facebook cover photos are always of his car, so we thought maybe we could create some images worthy enough that could include Molly as well! We will see...

While the church was roasting hot, things started to cool down in the afternoon for a very enjoyable cocktail hour out on the lawn and oceanfront deck at Spruce Point Inn!

We fit in a few minutes of groomsmen photos at the end of cocktail hour so they could show off some of their personalized swag! Each groomsmen got a unique set of suspenders to show off!

After toasts, we snuck out for some photos down by the bay on the rocks and pier...and WOW! That was the right call!

It was time to get back and party the night away with The Bob Charest Band! They also had played Molly's Sister's wedding a few years back and it was one of TJ's requests for the wedding that "that same band" played theirs as well! I loved working with this talented crew again, who definitely had the dance floor moving all night!
