Brennan and Mike’s wedding was extremely easy to photograph because everyone loved each other so much. Brennan and Mike live in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania but decided to get married in Maine since Brennan grew up in Cape Elizabeth. I know Brennan personally so this was an amazing wedding to be a part of. Mike and Brennan have been together 9 years and they’ve been through a lot, so the ceremony was emotional to say the least. I have a lot of love for these two and I know their love will last a lifetime through thick and thin.

My friends Tim and Marla had their wedding on July 2nd, 2017 in Kingfield, Maine and I was a guest at their wedding. It was a beautiful ceremony and everything was perfect but right after the ceremony the skies opened up with torrential rain and high winds. It was one of the craziest thunderstorms I’ve seen in Maine. As you can imagine their wedding photos didn’t really turn out the way they were hoping so they reached out to me to schedule a session a year after their wedding day. We decided to go to Trundy Point in Cape Elizabeth, Maine since that’s where Tim proposed and it was a beautiful evening for it. All the love for these two! XO

Kelli and Mike eloped at Cunningham Farm: Barns & Estate in New Gloucester, Maine.  They moved to Maine earlier this year and since then they’ve been busy parenting the cutest 5 month old baby boy named Cash. Kelli and I originally connected because we’re both Colorado skiers. I admired their love for the outdoors and nature. Here’s a look into their intimate ceremony at Cunningham Farm and their adventurous reception on-board the Wendameen sailboat from the Portland Schooner Co.

Mary and Chris live in Brooklyn, NY, but they came to Maine to tie the knot at the Lady of Good Hope in Camden. (I photographed one of their friends weddings last summer, which is how I met them). They decided to have an intimate ceremony with immediate family members. The couple used to live in Maine so they were excited to share their vows in a place they hold dear to their hearts. The weather forecast wasn’t looking too promising, but the rain held off and it turned into a beautiful day.

I wish lots of love to this funny and laid back couple! I wish you all the best and I can’t wait to see you again.

Meaghan and Joe are amazing people. I know that seems like a silly sentence to start out with, but they are. They spend a lot of time volunteering and when they’re not working or volunteering they are skiing Big Sky or going on international adventures. They’ve been through a lot together and because of that they have the biggest hearts. A couple years ago Meaghan brought Joe to Long Island, Maine, which is where they decided to become an exclusive couple. In March of this year, they decided to go back there and elope at Shark Cove.
