Jenn & Daniel are an amazing couple.  Fun, smart and beautiful are adjectives that come to mind… but also genuine and down to earth as well.  They met at Tufts Veterinary School, and fell in love during games of ultimate frisbee and days of studying together.  Jenn is a Maine girl, and Daniel was raised in England… but when it came time to choose a location for their wedding, there was no other choice than her grandparent’s property in Scarborough, and the Nonantum Inn in Kennebunkport.

Daniel and Jenn’s wedding truly reflected their values: they were married beside the sea, in front of family, friends, and most importantly: their PERFECTLY behaved dogs.

Jenn's grandfather walked her down the aisle.

Looking over Jenn's shoulder (foreground), Daniel sees Jenn for the first time in her dress!

Lots of emotion. Tears of joy.

Jenn smiles and holds back tears as her mother sang to them.

Jenn's brother in law sang as well.

Daniel receives his ring.

These two are soulmates. Their bond is so obvious. So beautiful.

Walking back down the aisle.

Finally alone, just after the ceremony.

We should be honest... these were the two most important guests.

Back to The Nonantum for the reception!

Shoes off.

First Dance.

Beautiful cake by Confection Art with US & England Flags.

Daniel had moves. Many, many moves.

Had to include this. Jenn's face is priceless.

Just another perfect night in Kennebunkport!

Sunset down on the docks.

We love Sperry Tents... so pretty.

Speaking of pretty... this gent came out of the gates ready to dance, and kept going for 4 straight hours.

Come to think of it... ALL the guests came ready to party.

And those that didn't want to dance? Well, they were "encouraged".

This little boy was amazing... breakdancing for hours.

Bon Jovi claims four more victims.

Make that five.

Jenn is like the Energizer Bunny... nonstop dancing. Even Daniel started to get tired.

Last song of the night... surrounded by friends and family. The way life should be!

A sparkler sendoff, led by this little boy.

A happy couple... congratulations!

Jenn & Daniel!  THANK YOU for having us!  We had so much fun with your friends and family!  Good luck with the big move to Colorado and PLEASE let us know when you’re back in Maine!

Fort William Henry played host to Sarah and Will’s beautiful wedding ceremony.  Located in the village of New Harbor, in the town of Bristol, Maine… the setting was meaningful and idyllic.  Will’s family has had a home in nearby Christmas Cove, and their celebration represented the joy of summer in Maine, and the union of two great families.

One last check by Sarah... beautiful.

Sarah's bouquet.

Waiting for guests to arrive.

Every detail was thoughtful and gorgeous.

Will's shoes. To call them shoes may not be completely fair: these velveted slippers of matrimony had an embroidered cutter on them.

I've never seen flower girls take such delight in being part of a wedding.

Sarah, starting down the aisle.

The crowd parted, and Will saw her for the first time.

Elegant lines of her dress and the vibrance of Maine on a summer's evening.

Will's reaction to seeing Sarah for the first time!

One of the EVER attentive flower girls.

There's truth in Sarah's eyes. You can't fake that.

The kiss!

Another view of the ceremony and the gorgeous sky.

They recess back down the aisle... flower girls in tow!

A candid moment caught.

Their neighbor made this personalized guest book for them!

Then the dancing started.

They had moves!

The Contented Sole is a great space for a reception.

She's feeling it!

So was he.

A long, long day when you're a little girl.

Shoes off... ice cold drinks everywhere, the party rages on.

A moment alone on the dock captured.

Sarah & Will!  THANK YOU for having us!  We had so much fun with you, and hope to see you again when you’re back on the coast of Maine!

Boothbay Harbor, Maine is an incredibly beautiful location, and we were happy to return to photograph Sheri & Nate’s wedding this past weekend.  Sheri’s family owns a house in Boothbay Harbor, and Maine has become a home away from home for the two of them to relax and explore.

Their wedding was filled with thoughtful details.  A personalized lobster buoy adds a distinctly Maine touch.

Sheri’s emotion is so obvious as she sees herself in the mirror for the first time.

Looking out in the direction of the church, Sheri got ready at her parent’s house, which is perched on the edge of the sea in Boothbay Harbor.

Nate and the boys took a limousine to the wedding after the trolley they hired “became engulfed in flames.”  We weren’t there for the pyrotechnics, but no one was hurt… and a replacement vehicle was provided.  It’s always an adventure!

Sheri, on the other hand hopped aboard the gorgeous lobster yacht LION along with the rest of the bridal party for the short trip from her parent’s house to the church.

Classic Boothbay Harbor in September… lots of sailboats, and beautiful light.

Sheri peeks around the cabin of the lobster yacht.

The bridal party was met at the dock by a bagpiper, who escorted them to the church.

Just before walking down the aisle, her dad gives her one last kiss.  A special moment captured.

Our Lady Queen of Peace.  A beautiful, historic church.

From the balcony, the original 1916 timber frame construction can really be seen.

The big kiss!

A unique overhead view of Sheri & Nate recessing back down the aisle.

Vista from the Spruce Point Inn.

A bridesmaid’s bouquet rests on a rock.

Another unique detail: a sea glass cake!

As the sun sets, Sheri and Nate prepare to enter the reception.

With all their guests standing and clapping, the wedding couple arrives.

First dance.

Yup, this guy has the worm mastered.  Nice work!

Though The Tony Boffa band isn’t necessarily known for their rapping… trust us, they can throw it down when they need to.  We especially enjoyed the cash money gold chain!

Sunset at The Spruce Point Inn.

Sheri & Nate, thank you so much for having us at your wedding!  We loved meeting all your friends and family!  We genuinely appreciate all the hard work and thought that you all put into your big day… and we hope you enjoy your beautiful photos as well!  Enjoy Italy!!
