Ted + Jessica | Point Lookout | Northport, Maine Wedding Photographer

With temperatures reaching above 90 degrees, you could certainly say this was a hot one! It was no doubt an intense day up on the summit weather-wise, with thunderstorms predicted and uncertainty whether the ceremony would be outside, as originally intended, or not. Shortly after I arrived, skies quickly became ominous, but thankfully cleared up when they needed too! Ironically, when I met up with Ted and Jessica for the engagement shoot, it was one of the coldest days of the year haha. While their wedding day may not have been the coolest day or the year, it was a fun one! I’m looking forward to sharing these captured images, and hope you enjoy reliving the day through them!

These were certainly some of the meanest looking skies I had seen in a while, so I made sure to run out just as it started to rain and capture the beautiful flowers on the arbor lest they be marred by the impending downpour. Farmhouse Floral did such beautiful work, and thankfully, they all survived the brief storms before the ceremony!

First Look

With everyone ready to go, it was time to head outside for the first look and some wedding party photos pre-ceremony!

After some time in the hot sun, it was time to jump back in the AC and relax for a bit before the festivities began.

Love this shot below of Jessica’s flower girl holding her dress! :)

One of the cutest things I’ve seen in a while was this little girl sitting on the lawn just watching everything as it unfolded. She sat there the whole time and just soaked it all in!

Ted and Jessica shared vows that they had written each other(always a special touch), and with that, they were married! It was time to grab and signature cocktail and mingle with friends and family

At the end of cocktail hour, we did the quickest run ever down to the beach for a few more photos as the guests transitioned to the pavilion. So glad we did this as the B+W photo with the old Cadillac at the top of this post was one of my favorites of the day!

You knew things were getting serious when Ted took off his shoes for the first dance! They put together a fun mix of dances to make it their own!

With that, it was time for Living Room Circus to get the dance floor moving! Jessica’s brother is the drummer and some of the other guys are siblings with one of my past wedding couples. Playing alternative rock hits from the 90’s-00’s was like listening to my radio as a kid. Good times!

After one of the band’s sets, we snuck out for a few quick post sunset snaps, and them left them to party the night away!

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.

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.
