Rhett and Ashley traveled all the way from Oklahoma to have a small wedding with their family here in Maine! They spent the week here, staying right in downtown Rockland at the Trade Winds Inn and Rockland Harbor Hotel. We had the chance to sit down and get to know each other more over coffee the day before at Rock City Cafe, which was great! I learned that Rhett and Ashley have been together since they were 14!!! How awesome is that? Also, about time they got married, right? haha. They left their 90 degree weather in OK to be welcomed by our rather unusual "spring" with some temps barely peaking over 50 degrees at times. The cold and windy Maine day didn't dampen their spirits at all though! I hope you enjoy seeing the story of their wedding day!

Before heading to Marshall Point Lighthouse for the ceremony, Rhett and Ashley did a first look right off Main Street. It's not very common to find a bride jaywalking on a Tuesday in Rockland haha! It was a colorful reunion they shared at one of downtown's popular photo spots. After a few quick pictures, it was off the lighthouse in a limo they were suprised with by family!

They had a wonderful ceremony with their parents, siblings, and grandparent as attendants/bridal party. Thankfully the rain held off, but BRRRRRR, I was even a bit cold and I live here! I believe this was the first time I ever wore a coat for an outdoor ceremony. Needless to say, the family portraits were done as quickly as possible, with Rhett and Ashley sticking it out a bit before jumping in the warmed limo! I highly recommend Peter at Limo Services In Maine. I've never seen such an attentive chauffeur as him before!

We finished up the afternoon with something a little different by doing some moody portraits at The Know Museum(aka Montpelier). I had so much fun meeting these two and their family, and I hope you've enjoyed reliving the wedding day!

It was a bright and sunny day for Josh and Johanna's intimate wedding up on Hacker's Hill! They opted to bring just their immediate family to share their ceremony with and spent a few days renting a log cabin together. What a great way for everyone to get to know each other better for such an occasion! The day began by meeting the family there at cabin where everyone was getting dressed up, putting together flowers, and making final preparations for the ceremony. After a quick first look, it was off to Casco, Maine where Hacker's Hill Preserve is located. Please enjoy seeing and reading about how the rest of the day unfolded!

One of the major standouts of the day, perhaps unusually so, was the relationship between myself and Kaia (the bride's niece). Under most circumstances, kids love me(same maturity level I think)... Kaia did NOT. At the very sight of me, her mood would quickly turn sour. No matter how sneaky I tried to be, she just KNEW when I was watching her! I don't want to make it sound serious, but I'm reasonably confident that she hated me with the fire burning passion of a thousand suns! Thankfully, as the day went on, you can see that she at least could handle the sight of my presence.

Josh patiently awaiting Johanna for the first look!

At this point, it was time to leave the cabin in Harrison and head to the ceremony site in Casco! It has beautiful views of the surrounding mountains and it the perfect place for a small ceremony. I loved the arbor that is present on site!

Another moment of Kaia refusing to walk any further once she saw me! hahaha, I can't get over how funny it was... She did eventually warm up to me a little!

Maybe it's because he's a physical therapist that Josh is such a spectacular dip kisser? She's just about sideways!

For the last stop, we took a short drive over to Bridgton, ME to take some final shots at a covered bridge!

The Russian-made Petzval 58mm bokeh control lens is great for creating that awesome swirling effect you can see in the background.

Seneca was a pleasure to work with all day and I love this candid of her looking out through the rails of the bridge!
