Julie and Adam were married at the Barn at Outlook Farm in South Berwick, Maine.  It was a beautiful, sunny day- perfect June weather for Maine!  What I loved most about working with Julie and Adam was the fact that they never stopped smiling and laughing all day- these two have a wonderful ability to make each other laugh.  Here are a few of my faves, or you can view the slideshow here or the gallery here:

I just wanted to share this image that my friend Stacey sent to me- it’s a pic that she took of me shooting that first image in the next post- I love shooting with other photographers, because they always take pics of you taking pics!!!

I am pleased to say that Molly and Adam’s wedding– which I photographed last summer in Bar Harbor at the Bar Harbor Regency– was featured in a four page spread in Gala Weddings Magazine!

A few days ago I participated in a shoot with a bunch of my Shootstyle friends at the Renaissance Hotel in Providence- I spent most of my time photographing the boudoir session. The dress from the second session was provided by the talented Julia Anne Ebel.  Here are a few of my faves:

I was recently asked by the editors of Real Maine Weddings to submit one of my photographs for publication- the story was on “favorite moments”, so I wasn’t surprised that the editors had asked for the photograph of Lori looking at her bridesmaid during the ceremony  (photo 1, top left) - it’s remained one of my all-time favorite photographs.
