ALICIA + ANTHONY: INTIMATE SOUTH PORTLAND, MAINE WEDDING
When Anthony and Alicia asked me to photograph their Maine Wedding I was thrilled because it contained two of my favorite elements; it was like an elopement in the size, and by the sea! The two were wed on September 9, 2018 at the tiny All Faiths Chapel in South Portland, Maine. The whole day seemed like a romantic wedding of the past where everything was quaint, walkable, and beautifully simple. The groom and his family waited for the bride at the small chapel by the sea. Anthony's father gave Anthony a pocket watch that has been handed down from father to son for four generations. Alicia and her parents arrived, and without any pause the procession began!
The ceremony was performed by her sister, and 15 close family members were in attendance. After their vows were said and families hugged, Anthony and Alicia walked down to Spring Point Ledge Lighthouse to enjoy their first moments as a married couple. A double rainbow appeared without any rain (locally), which was incredible! The All Faiths Chapel had a little stained glass window with a rainbow over them as they were wed, so it seemed like magic was just following them. The two then took a little scenic walk over to their elegant reception dinner at North 43 overlooking the harbor. The night was filled with lively conversation, delicious food, and candle light. Their South Porltand wedding was so incredibly intimate and ideal; everything flowed with joy and ease. Congratulations Alicia and Anthony!
EMILY + HARRY: ELEGANT GARDEN BBQ WEDDING
Emily and Harry hold a special place in my heart. They were one of the first couples to book with me when I moved back to the east coast, and I so admire their passion for life. They both were getting their masters, moving, and traveling all over while planning their wedding. The wedding festivities took place at The River Farm: home of the American Horticultural Society, so the entire property is breathtaking. Emily and Harry started the day with a private first look in a shaded glade they had chosen together. Then they walked to a large old Dogwood tree to read letters they had written to each other. For the ceremony they both took the arms of their parents, and walked down the aisle to violin played by a friend. Their soccer coach from highschool married them with a sweet, personalized ceremony. For the rest of the night they reunited with loved ones from all over, ate delicious BBQ, and danced. It was such a joy to see their day come alive with beauty and love. Congratulations Emily and Harry!
