Wedding of Rory & Scott – Pemaquid Lighthouse

Posted on May 5, 2012

Small, intimate weddings are a wonderful thing.  I can well imagine that it’s far easier to plan a twenty minute ceremony with only 8 guests, followed by dinner at a local restaurant in comparison to planning a ceremony equally as long, but with over 100 guests, a bridal party, a catered reception and all the many many details that coincide with a big event.

It was an honor to photograph Rory and Scott’s wedding, which was held at the Pemaquid Lighthouse.  Short, sweet, casual and elegant.  The love and emotions spilling forth happened all the same despite the fact that it was a very small gathering.  As much as I love to photograph all the beautiful details at a wedding, what I love even more is capturing the candid moments of two people in love who are about to pledge the rest of their lives together.

Preparing for 2012 Wedding Season

Posted on February 26, 2012

It’s that time of year again when I start to think about the upcoming wedding season.  There is a lot of preparation involved, not just for the couple and their family, but for the photographers who insure that one of the most important days of their life is creatively documented.   For all the hours the bride and groom and their entourage of helpers put into the planning of their wedding day, I know for a fact that a significant number of hours is put into their photographs.  I certainly know from experience that my 8 to 12+ hours spent photographing a wedding doesn’t end after the party is over.  In fact, my work will only just begin.  Hours upon countless hours will be spent uploading, backing up, culling, and more culling, editing, editing, editing and yes, editing until I am satisfied that when anyone, especially the bride and groom, view these pictures they will also have a sense of deja vu.  They will relive their wedding day and feel all the emotion that carried them through till the last guest went home.

All the little details will be noted.  No moment will be forgotten.

Tender moments will be frozen in time

to be delicately placed where the most precious of keepsakes are held.

Weddings aren’t always held in a church.  In mid-coast Maine the locations of beauty and romance are endless.  Fort Henry William in Pemaquid offers a stunning view and fabulous light.

Have you ever thought of getting married in a library?  Catherine and Bob did.  Skidompha Library in Damariscotta offered a very unique and beautiful location for their intimate occasion.

Wedding dresses aren’t always white and wedding guests aren’t always human!

The Botanical Gardens in Boothbay is another fabulous location for your nuptials.

Cheers to all the couples to be wed in 2012

and a big high five to all the photographers lucky enough

to witness and document such a sacred, life changing day!
