Dave + Laura | Harmony Hill Farm | Warren, Maine Wedding Photographer

I only had the opportunity to meet Dave and Laura a few days before their wedding - which is when we did their engagement session -  and I quickly knew that this was going to be a great wedding day! I loved how much they connected with each other. To put it in a corny way, I think I told them something along the lines of, "You two have such a natural presence together". By that, I mean capturing their interactions was all I needed, as their love for each other seemed effortless. Sure enough, their wedding day did not disappoint! The excitement was in the air and one of my favorite memories from the day was them running down the aisle together, and then again as they left the ceremony. It was such a beautiful picture of how I viewed their love in the short time I had the pleasure of spending with them. I'm happy to present their wedding day as seen through my lens! I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed being there, and thanks for coming!

For their ceremony, close friends came up to share about their history and stories. Speaking of the characters that make them special, and also how suited they were for each other. A special touch to go along with the vows Dave and Laura wrote for each other!

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!
