This would be our last trip of the year to this beautiful area of Maine, and what a perfect day it was. I had a great time meeting Brian and Bri for their engagement session a couple months before in Camden, and had a fantastic time with them again on their wedding day! One of my favorite memories of the day was the clear love and commitment these two share. I know that sounds cliche, but seeing Brian immediately tear up before even seeing Bri for the first time, told you everything you needed to know. We started our day at the Jordan Hotel, where everyone was getting ready, and where this story begins. I hope you love reliving this day as much as we did capturing it…

Getting Ready at The Jordan Hotel
As we arrived to the suite, everyone was bustling about and preparing for the day ahead. This is always a fun time for capturing candids and small moments. Brian’s end of the getting ready had a little less going on and nerves were running a little higher over there. There are only a few photos posted here, but I love the flower girl clearly showing her age to the hair and makeup artist, when she’s asked. “Three”
First Look at the Newry Covered Bridge
This is one of my favorite spots in the state. Such an iconic location, and even provides cover if needed on a rainy day! This is where Brian and Brianne would see each other for the first time, followed by some wedding party formals before it was off to the chondolas at Sunday River. I love the emotion in some of these images.
Ceremony
It was time to head up the mountain to North Peak Lodge for the rest of the festivities! The fall chill was definitely starting to set in, and Brian and Bri were thoughtful enough to have blankets out for the ceremony. Great idea!
A little too cold and windy for a trip up the ski lift, but we still got a photo of Bri arriving via the Chondola!
This is one of my favorite shots of the day as Bri walked down the aisle and Brian started to tear up again.
A quick group shot with all the wedding guests followed by a few sunset photos!
Reception
Snack time!
The toasts had both heart and humor! My favorite being when Brian’s best man discussed his level of commitment haha!
One popular spot for the evening was the ice luge! Definitely a great spot to capture some fun shenanigans.
Time to party!!!
Thank you Brian and Bri!
