Milkweed Magic – {Maine nature photographer}

Posted on October 30, 2009

I absolutely LOVE the Fall season!  For me, the colors signify accomplishment and a brilliant end to the busy, full days of Summer.  I love the turning maple leaves, but even more, I love the opened pods of  milkweed.  For the past month as I drive to and from town, I’d scout the roadsides for the first signs of this amazing plant.  And today, on my way home from a massage session, I actually had time to stop and photograph some.  I was hoping for the sun to be shining because I love how the light illuminates the cottony white.  The sky was overcast  but I love the results anyway.  The problem I’m having is choosing a favorite.  One may wonder, how many images of a milkweed one can take?  After all, a milkweed is a milkweed, looking just like the last milkweed. Wrong! I’d love to hear from you which image you like best.  Just leave a comment at the end of this post to tell me.  There are 16 images and I’m going to post them in the order that I photographed them, so you won’t think they are in order of preference.  Enjoy!!

Mike & Beth – A Wedding at Pemaquid Point

Posted on September 27, 2009

I had the honor and pleasure of photographing Mike and Beth’s wedding in one of the most gorgeous places in Maine – the Pemaquid Lighthouse.  There couldn’t have been a more beautiful day.  Clear blue sky, soft breezes and a gathering of such lovely people.  I loved the simple yet elegant details that were carefully chosen to mark this special day.  Beth is an artist and all the pottery vases were made by her.  The rehearsal dinner tables were dressed in Vintage table clothes Beth collected over the years, and all the flowers were hand picked from her parents gardens.  I had such a great time documenting their day, and so without further ado, please enjoy the following sneak peak of their amazing story.

The location, as I said, was divine.

Waiting for his bride.

The Procession.

Such emotion goes hand in hand as two people join lives.  So beautiful . . .

Mike’s first look at his beautiful bride as she walks towards him.

I just love this moment between Beth and her parents.

Tender Moments . . .

“Isn’t she lovely, isn’t she beautiful . . .”

I promised Beth if she layed on her belly on this huge rock that the result would be a wonderful picture.  Of course, it helped to have such a beautiful subject!
