Bob + Tandi | Vesper Hill Children's Chapel Wedding | Rockport, Maine Photographer

When Tandra first reached out to me, it was clear how excited she was about her upcoming wedding to Bob! I was instantly excited as well to capture their intimate wedding in Rockport at the Vesper Hill Children’s Chapel. The chapel is surrounded by beautiful gardens and the perfect spot for an event like this! Their plan was to have a small wedding surrounded by some of their closest friends and family, with a dinner celebration at Natalie’s Restaurant in Camden after. Minimal fuss, just a wonderful time spent together. I’m honored they chose me to capture this special occasion and I hope you enjoy reliving the day through the photos. Thanks for coming!

Ceremony

After a few quick formal photos with their wedding party, it was time to head up to Vesper Hill Chapel for the ceremony! The musical accompaniment was provided by the Windfern Ensemble and provided a lovely backdrop as everyone came in. The bell was rung, and it was time to begin! Part of Bob and Tandi’s vows were sharing what they loved about each other, followed by the exchange of rings, and finally a kiss to seal the deal!

Reception

After a few more quick photos on the way out from the Children’s Chapel, it was time to head over to Natalie’s in Camden, ME. If you’ve never been, it is a top notch restaurant tucked away just outside of downtown. If you’re having a small wedding in the Camden area, this is a fantastic spot! Bob and Tandi enjoyed a cocktail hour with their guests before making their way into the dining room for their reception dinner.

Definitely some of the coolest groomsman gifts I have ever seen!

With the formal events done and dinner about ready to begin, Bob gave a toast and thanked everyone for attending, at which it was time for me to leave them to enjoy the rest of their evening!

Thank you Bob and Tandi!

Chris + Lauren | Northport, Maine Photography | Point Lookout Resort Wedding

All of my Point Lookout couples have been graced with the most insanely beautiful days up on the summit, and it was no different for Chris and Lauren! These two originally met at a concert after Chris’s friends bailed on him, but it obviously all worked out for the best! I had the pleasure of meeting Chris and Lauren last year during their engagement session and have been looking forward to capturing their wedding day ever since. Spirits were high among everyone as I arrived, excited for the party ahead! The girls were full of laughter while practicing some dance moves, and the guys were just relaxing and having a drink. This whole day was full of laughter, emotion, and love… everything needed for a perfect day! I enjoyed going back through the photos while putting together this post and hope that you enjoy it all as well!

Lauren was gifted a sweet new set of kicks by her nephew, which were perfect to slip into for the dancing later!

These first looks were one of my favorite parts of the day, from the bridesmaids, to her dad, and finally with Chris. Plenty of excitement and emotion to go around!

Not only did we have amazing weather for the wedding party formals, but we had all the time in the world! Earlier in the day the girls had wanted to do some more serious formal poses so with the extra pre-ceremony time, I set up some lights and we captured some awesome Downton Abbey style portraits!

With the formalities complete, it was time to PARTY - and party they did! Tons of awesome dancing, a little choreographed number by the girls, and finishing up with a “vest party” by the guys. You’ll see… ;)
