Phillip and Kristen | French’s Point Wedding | Stockton Springs Photographer

What a perfect end to our wedding season! In what has arguably been the most difficult year in recent history for getting married, Phillip and Kristen pulled it off wonderfully. Not only did so much care go into everyone’s safety, but all who attended were tested for Covid ahead of time. When the day finally arrived, they were graced with the most amazing October weather one could ask for on the water at French’s Point. Plenty of excitement was in the air during the getting ready, and everyone was having a great time. I think Kristen’s mom and sister were just as excited as she was that the big day was here! Honestly, with over 1,300 photos in the full gallery, it’s pretty hard to summarize how great this day was in such short blog post. We had such a fantastic time capturing Kristen and Phil’s big day, and I hope you enjoy reliving some of their special day here!

Abram the ringbearer was one of the standout memories of this wedding for me haha! This kid had some character and I got such a kick out of photos that I came across with him in them.

Phil as he watched Kristen for the first time as she walked down the aisle. Beautiful!

It was a lovely ceremony where they had written their own vows. Captain Ken Barnes officiated, and he’s one of my favorites! Being married over 50 years himself, he always guides the ceremony with class, charm, and a little humor.

I love this moment with Phillip and his mother…

Of course now with the parent dances over, it was time for Abram to tear up the dance floor! haha

This was one of my favorite cake cuttings in some time haha!

It was about time for us to head home, but first… one final shot. I didn’t think a starry night shot would be likely due to it being a full moon, but low and behold, we just beat it as it started to rise on the horizon to the left! A few minutes later, and this shot wouldn’t have even worked. Perfect ending! Extra thanks to my friend and fellow vendor Jess of Jessica Riley Events for clearing all the chairs out of the background with Laureh for this shot. She did an awesome job planning and coordinating the day as well! If you’re in need of a talented and down to earth planner/coordinator, she’s the top choice!

So happy to work with these two to close out the 2020 wedding season

Robert + Cai | Inn On Peaks Island Wedding | Portland, Maine Wedding Photographer

Here it is! The last, but certainly not least wedding of the year! Having your wedding on an island in Maine during the month of November could potentially bring anything. Thankfully, this was a particularly beautiful and warm(for November) day! I had so much fun meeting these two earlier this year, and have been looking forward to finishing up the year with them. No suprise that this was a super fun day, and I’m so thrilled that they chose me to capture it!

We decided to sneak out before the sunset and head over to the shoreline on the side of the island. So glad we did that and were able to capture some awesome portraits there!
