The Best Maine Wedding Photos of 2016 | Flax Studios

When you capture tens of thousands of images a year, it can be an incredibly difficult task to pick out your favorites. This last year's opportunities took me all over the place, including New Hampshire and New York, and it's such an overwhelming feeling to have the job I have. Most images that I take are composed and planned in a matter of seconds and then it's time to move on to the next thing. It's very stressful, but I love what I do and wouldn't trade it for anything! There really is an overflow of joy I feel as I look back and relive all of these moments, spent with so many awesome people. Most of the collection below is from weddings, but there's also a sprinkling from various family, engagement, and portrait sessions as well! There are countless images that I had to cut to help ensure this page would load, but this is roughly 100 of my favorites! 2016 was such an incredible season and it looks like 2017 is shaping up to be a very full season as well! There are only a handful of 2017 wedding dates left, but 2018 is now open for booking as well. So if you are planning your big day in Maine or beyond (I would love some destination weddings), head over to the contact page and lets talk! Well, without further ado, these are some of the best photos of 2016 in no particular order! Thanks for coming, enjoy!

Nathan + Shianne's Wedding | Brooks, ME Wedding Photographer

Early January is not usually considered the warmest time of year to have a wedding in Maine, but that didn't stop Nathan and Shianne! The day was certainly a bit chilly, with a high of around 10 degrees in Brooks, which is where this lovely couple would say their vows. The scene inside the church was full of warmth and excitement though, with everyone working hard to take care of the finishing touches for the day! Once everyone was ready, it was time for Shianne to walk down the aisle and join her groom for the ceremony. She was preceded by an adorable group of "future brides" and their sign-bearing escort. Children were certainly in abundance, and they always add a fun extra touch to any wedding day events. One of my favorite moments was when one of these future brides(as seen below) decided to get up and begin gathering the flower petals in the middle of the ceremony. She was quite upset when she was cut short haha! After a ceremony full of prayer, commitment, music, and passages, it was time to brave the cold as quick as possible for some portraits! We snapped a few quick ones outside the church with the bridal party and then drove down the road for a change of scenery with just the newlyweds. The temperature change coming back in was a bit extreme and I had to wait for my gear to un-fog before I could use it inside! The rest of the evening was spent with friends and family celebrating inside the beautifully decorated hall. It was a pleasure to spend the day with Nathan and Shianne and I wish them many blessings in their new life together! Thanks for coming, and I hope enjoy the memories captured here!
