Faith and Mike from Cadillac Mountain

After eight years of traveling up and down the State of Maine and across New England to film weddings, you would think I would have seen it all. But, a wedding on the top of Cadillac Mountain in Acadia National Park was a first for me this season.  Though I was a bit nervous about the logistics of a mountain top wedding (parking, tourists, quickly moving equipment into place, wind, etc.), the amazing backdrop for Faith and Mike's ceremony was totally worth it. Another first for me was the size of this wedding...just 18 close family and friends.  The reception in an intimate room at the Bar Harbor Inn was like a big family dinner, and the day ended with the most breathtaking sunset over Frenchman Bay.   We had the privilege of working alongside Peter Greeno of Peter Greeno Photography who took the couple through Acadia National Park to capture some amazing images. 

Congratulations Faith and Mike!

Lauren and Gerardo from Brewer, Maine

Six years ago, I had the opportunity to film Lauren's older sister's wedding at the Lucerne Inn. A lot has happened over the years, but this family is just as vibrant as I remember. Friends and family from Honduras, Curacao and all over the country made the trip to Lauren's parent's backyard to celebrate Lauren and Gerardo who met when they both worked at Disney World. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect day with a better group of people!  Images from the day were captured through the lens of Rogier van Bakel of Eager Eye Photography. 

Congratulations Lauren and Gerardo!

Shaina and Roman from Samoset Resort

No matter the weather, The Samoset Resort in Rockport, Maine is an amazingly beautiful venue for a wedding, but Shaina and Roman were blessed with the most perfect wedding day. There were so many heartfelt moments...the emotional first look, the Ketubah signing and ceremony at Synagogue Adas Yoshuron, the great speeches from family and friends and the elegant dances (not to mention the Hora!) A special shout out to James Flachsbart of Flax Studios who photographed the day. Check out his blog for some amazing photos!

Congratulations Shaina and Roman!

Morgan and Henry from Peaks Island

When you step off of the ferry onto Peaks Island, you are immediately swept up into the charm of island life. Narrow, cottage-lined streets, ocean views everywhere you look and some of the most friendly, helpful residents are I'm sure part of the reason that people like Morgan and Henry choose to get married here. I absolutely love it when past clients refer me to a couple, and after Morgan saw the film that I created for her dear friends Kaitlin and Peter in Ellsworth a few years back, she was hooked! The beautiful ceremony was held on the front lawn at TEIA (the island's recreation club) followed by cocktail hour on the wrap around deck and reception inside the club. The days events were perfectly coordinated by Kristin Mills of Kristin Mills Events while photographers, Emily and her husband Matt of Emily Delamater Photography captured each moment. Just check out her blog for some amazing photos! The talented musicians of the Larry William's Band kept guests entertained throughout the evening.

Congratulations Morgan and Henry!

 

Jory and Andrew from Bar Harbor, Maine

For the first wedding of this season, we headed back to the Bar Harbor Regency where Jory and Andrew celebrated with family and friends at The Stone House. I don't think I've ever seen a couple so relaxed on their wedding day! It was refreshing to see two people so focused on the love between them and creating a fun time for their guests. We were happy to join forces once again with Lexi and Matt from Lexi Lowell Photography to capture this special day. 

Congratulations Jory and Andrew!

 

Cami and Nikhil from Sunday River

It wasn't easy waiting for my last wedding of the season to film this gorgeous couple and their beautiful traditional Indian ceremony!  Though Cami and Nikhil come from different backgrounds, the way that their love has brought them and their families together so seamlessly is truly inspiring. Despite the chilly October weather that kept festivities inside, guests had a blast during the reception (lots of dancing, singing, food and heartfelt toasts!) Having both graduated from the same high school (along with Cami!) it was wonderful to finally meet and work with Ina Nason of Inspired Photography. Check her out!

Congratulations Cami and Nikhil!

Alyssa and Patrick from Brooklin, Maine

Alyssa and Patrick's Brooklyn, NY to Brooklin, ME wedding has to rank as one of the top most beautiful films I've had the chance to create. The property at Lookout Inn with its golden fields and panoramic vistas of Blue Hill Bay was breathtaking.  With Alyssa and Patrick both working as artists in NYC, their laid back and creative vibe was inspiring.  Make sure to catch all of the amazing details of the day as well as the fireworks show at the end! It was a pleasure to meet and work alongside Sarah Morrill of Sarah Morrill Photography who captured some amazing images.

Congratulations Alyssa and Patrick!
