I’ve been catching up on some processing and orders- I particularly liked these three pics so I thought I would share!

I photographed the LaRiviere Family at their family vacation home in Hills Beach- their girls never stopped smiling, even when their little brother was tugging on their hair!

Jess and Todd were married at Todd’s parent’s home on Verona Island.  The weather report called for rain, but it was sunny with blue skies during the ceremony!  We had to book it into the tent shortly after the ceremony, though- we had a crazy rain storm, followed by a beautiful evening!  The wedding coordinator was Amber Small of Sweetest Thing Weddings, and the flowers were done by Todd’s mom, the owner of Island Flowers.  Here are a few of my faves, or view their slideshow here or their gallery here:

The gorgeous flowers!

I absolutely fell in love with Jess and Todd’s dog!  He was an honorary member of the wedding party and was so well behaved!  I’m pretty sure that my dog would have eaten the flowers and then followed his nose to the tent to eat the food…

The DJ was fabulous- the dance floor was packed all night!

There was an incredible moon, and the tent looked just fabulous!

Molly and Adam were married at the Bar Harbor Regency at the Stone House.  It was a gorgeous day- probably one of the brightest days we have had all year!  The wedding was coordinated by Diane York Weddings and Events, and all of the details were just perfect!  Here are a few of my faves from the day, or you can view the slideshow here or visit their gallery here:

I love these flowers:

I normally attach slideshows to the couples blog posts, but I wanted to give Leslie and Abhi a second post not only because they were the couple that laughed the most out of all the couples I have ever photographed, but also because this is a bit of an occasion for me- the new website with the new colors and logo has now gone live, and as a result, all new slideshows will match the new studio image! See Abhi and Leslie’s slideshow (and the new logo and colors!) by clicking here, or go to the new website by clicking here.  You can also visit Leslie and Abhi’s gallery.

There are still some changes to be made (such as the BLOG- obviously it doesn’t match right now!!), but those will happen gradually over the next few weeks as my design firm works on the changes.

Many thanks to Erin Nelson of EDJ Design - she designed my new logo and was fabulous to work with!!!

Liz and Jim were married at Maple Hill Farm in Hallowell, Maine, last Saturday. They must be the luckiest two people around- the weather report called for rain and we heard from people throughout the day that it was raining all around Maple Hill Farm, but it never rained on the ceremony! Here are a few of my faves from the day, or you can view their slideshow here.

I love this rooster. Every time I have been to Maple Hill Farm to photograph a wedding, he has been sitting in that same window in the barn:

Don’t believe the story about the rain all around? Check out these clouds! It was sunny right above us, but there was thunder and lightning on all sides. I heard from a friend who lives a few miles away from Maple Hill Farm that they even lost power a few miles away!

This was a bit of an outtake, but I LOVE it:

We went back out after dinner and some dancing to capture the beautiful clouds after the storm:
