Abby + Alex | East Grand Lake Wedding | Orient, Maine

Abby and Al have a history that goes way back. While they have over a decade together, their story started even earlier than that, with their mothers having been friends when they were much younger! While you could have heard all about that during the speeches and toasts, what matters is where they are here and now…. together! What an amazing location and perfect summer weather it was for their big day as well! Her family has a long history here on East Grand Lake, starting with her Grandfather way back in the day. This was a FUN group to party with, and Laureh and I couldn’t have had a better time with these two, helping to celebrate their big day. I hope you love reliving the day through the photos we captured!

Abby’s face is how you know that Al nailed his wedding gift!

This whole first look with Abby’s father, mother, and brothers are some of my favorites!

Jed + Caitlin | 16 Bay View Wedding | Camden, Maine

After waiting a year later than planned, it was finally time for Jed and Caitlin to have the wedding they were waiting for…and it was AWESOME!
You really couldn’t have asked for a more picturesque day in Camden. Clear skies, comfortable temperatures, a beautiful harbor, a gorgeous rooftop view for the reception, and an after party at 40 Paper. These two were full of excitement for their wedding day, and an absolute joy to work with. Excited to share these photos for everyone to relive the day, whether you were there or not!

Getting Ready and First Look

16 Bay View was an amazing spot in the heart of downtown Camden to be the hub for a wedding day! The ladies were having a grand time getting ready for the day in their suite, with Sofie(their beloved dog) roaming around and enjoying the extra attention. Jed was hanging out with the guys, and going over his vows, which were already making him tear up! Always a good sign…

Ceremony

Right around the corner from the hotel is the iconic Camden Amphitheater, which is a beautiful spot for a wedding. Laureh and I actually did our wedding photos here as well, almost 10 years ago! Caitlin’s Dad (Mark), put a lot of work into a meaningful ceremony, which also involved a glass unity tradition involving their family. Their vows had so much heart, with lots of both laughs and tears.

When your job is to escort Sofie up and down the aisle, but you also want to chase the photographer around with the puppy cart haha!

Before heading over to the reception, we took a group photo of everyone attending, and then enjoyed a little time with just Jed and Caitlin capturing some portraits…
