<p>Sebasco Harbor Resort is one of our favorite locations on the coast of Maine.  Situated just across the water from our Boathouse Studio in Cundy&#8217;s Harbor, Sebasco is our backyard, and returning again to photograph there feels like coming home.  The staff are our friends, the atmosphere is as beautiful as it is laid back, and the property is large enough for us to create unique imagery each and every time we photograph there.</p>

<p>When I first spoke with Melanie and Ben on the phone over a year ago, I felt like I had known them forever.  We had all spent years teaching in the outdoors with Outward Bound&#8230; an incredible school that forever shapes the lives of it&#8217;s students, as well as it&#8217;s instructors.  I had been looking forward to their wedding for months, and the fun was well worth the wait!</p>

<p style="text-align: center;">Rock climbing is a near constant in their lives.  Whether in the Pacific Northwest, or on course in Utah or Maine, climbing carabiners are a fitting representation of their bond.  These carabiners were personalized with their wedding date, and were a useful aide for transporting their rings via a very adorable ring bearer.</p>

<p style="text-align: left;">Kerstyn &amp; Dickie wanted a beautiful, simple wedding by the sea&#8230; surrounded by their friends, family and the constant crashing of ocean waves.  When they called, we jumped at the opportunity to support them.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-3747" title="0002KerstynDickie10.12.10-0029-" src="http://www.brianwedge.com/blog/wp-content/uploads//2010/10/0002KerstynDickie10.12.10-0029-.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="400" /></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">This past Saturday, the wedding of their dreams came to fruition at The York Harbor Reading Room, in York Harbor, Maine.  What made their day so special, was the fact that Kerstyn and Dickie wanted something relaxed but beautiful&#8230; and they wanted photos that were creative but unobtrusive.  It was a true joy to document their story, and it was wonderful to be around a group of people who were so happy to celebrate.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-3748" title="0003KerstynDickie10.12.10-0044-" src="http://www.brianwedge.com/blog/wp-content/uploads//2010/10/0003KerstynDickie10.12.10-0044-.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="600" /></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-3693" title="0001SheriNate9.18.10-0546-" src="http://www.brianwedge.com/blog/wp-content/uploads//2010/09/0001SheriNate9.18.10-0546-.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="400" /></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Boothbay Harbor, Maine is an incredibly beautiful location, and we were happy to return to photograph Sheri &amp; Nate&#8217;s wedding this past weekend.  Sheri&#8217;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.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-3694" title="0002SheriNate9.18.10-0592-" src="http://www.brianwedge.com/blog/wp-content/uploads//2010/09/0002SheriNate9.18.10-0592-.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="600" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Their wedding was filled with thoughtful details.  A personalized lobster buoy adds a distinctly Maine touch.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-3695" title="0003SheriNate9.18.10-0025-" src="http://www.brianwedge.com/blog/wp-content/uploads//2010/09/0003SheriNate9.18.10-0025-.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="400" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Sheri&#8217;s emotion is so obvious as she sees herself in the mirror for the first time.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-3696" title="0004SheriNate9.18.10-0062-" src="http://www.brianwedge.com/blog/wp-content/uploads//2010/09/0004SheriNate9.18.10-0062-.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="400" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Looking out in the direction of the church, Sheri got ready at her parent&#8217;s house, which is perched on the edge of the sea in Boothbay Harbor.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-3697" title="0005SheriNate9.18.10-0128-" src="http://www.brianwedge.com/blog/wp-content/uploads//2010/09/0005SheriNate9.18.10-0128-.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="400" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Nate and the boys took a limousine to the wedding after the trolley they hired &#8220;became engulfed in flames.&#8221;  We weren&#8217;t there for the pyrotechnics, but no one was hurt&#8230; and a replacement vehicle was provided.  It&#8217;s always an adventure!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-3698" title="0006SheriNate9.18.10-0137-" src="http://www.brianwedge.com/blog/wp-content/uploads//2010/09/0006SheriNate9.18.10-0137-.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="400" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">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&#8217;s house to the church.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-3699" title="0007SheriNate9.18.10-0186-" src="http://www.brianwedge.com/blog/wp-content/uploads//2010/09/0007SheriNate9.18.10-0186-.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="400" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Classic Boothbay Harbor in September&#8230; lots of sailboats, and beautiful light.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-3700" title="0008SheriNate9.18.10-0147-" src="http://www.brianwedge.com/blog/wp-content/uploads//2010/09/0008SheriNate9.18.10-0147-.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="400" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Sheri peeks around the cabin of the lobster yacht.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-3701" title="0009SheriNate9.18.10-0220-" src="http://www.brianwedge.com/blog/wp-content/uploads//2010/09/0009SheriNate9.18.10-0220-.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="400" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">The bridal party was met at the dock by a bagpiper, who escorted them to the church.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-3702" title="0010SheriNate9.18.10-0279-" src="http://www.brianwedge.com/blog/wp-content/uploads//2010/09/0010SheriNate9.18.10-0279-.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="400" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Just before walking down the aisle, her dad gives her one last kiss.  A special moment captured.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-3703" title="0011SheriNate9.18.10-0320-" src="http://www.brianwedge.com/blog/wp-content/uploads//2010/09/0011SheriNate9.18.10-0320-.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="600" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Our Lady Queen of Peace.  A beautiful, historic church.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-3704" title="0012SheriNate9.18.10-0350-" src="http://www.brianwedge.com/blog/wp-content/uploads//2010/09/0012SheriNate9.18.10-0350-.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="400" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">From the balcony, the original 1916 timber frame construction can really be seen.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-3705" title="0013SheriNate9.18.10-0360-" src="http://www.brianwedge.com/blog/wp-content/uploads//2010/09/0013SheriNate9.18.10-0360-.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="600" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">The big kiss!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-3706" title="0014SheriNate9.18.10-0396-" src="http://www.brianwedge.com/blog/wp-content/uploads//2010/09/0014SheriNate9.18.10-0396-.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="400" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">A unique overhead view of Sheri &amp; Nate recessing back down the aisle.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-3707" title="0015SheriNate9.18.10-0438-" src="http://www.brianwedge.com/blog/wp-content/uploads//2010/09/0015SheriNate9.18.10-0438-.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="600" /></p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-3709" title="0017SheriNate9.18.10-0563-" src="http://www.brianwedge.com/blog/wp-content/uploads//2010/09/0017SheriNate9.18.10-0563-.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="400" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">A bridesmaid&#8217;s bouquet rests on a rock.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-3710" title="0018SheriNate9.18.10-0645-" src="http://www.brianwedge.com/blog/wp-content/uploads//2010/09/0018SheriNate9.18.10-0645-.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="600" /></p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-3711" title="0019SheriNate9.18.10-0651-" src="http://www.brianwedge.com/blog/wp-content/uploads//2010/09/0019SheriNate9.18.10-0651-.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="400" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">As the sun sets, Sheri and Nate prepare to enter the reception.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-3712" title="0020SheriNate9.18.10-0699-" src="http://www.brianwedge.com/blog/wp-content/uploads//2010/09/0020SheriNate9.18.10-0699-.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="400" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">With all their guests standing and clapping, the wedding couple arrives.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-3713" title="0021SheriNate9.18.10-0719-" src="http://www.brianwedge.com/blog/wp-content/uploads//2010/09/0021SheriNate9.18.10-0719-.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="400" /></p>

<p style="text-align: center;">Though The Tony Boffa band isn&#8217;t necessarily known for their rapping&#8230; trust us, they can throw it down when they need to.  We especially enjoyed the cash money gold chain!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-3720" title="0026SheriNate9.18.10-0799-" src="http://www.brianwedge.com/blog/wp-content/uploads//2010/09/0026SheriNate9.18.10-0799-.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="400" /></p>

<p style="text-align: left;">Hannah &amp; Jason&#8217;s wedding was a long time in the making.  Ten years ago, it was love at first sight for the two of them, when they met at Brandeis University.  Their wedding was a celebration of all that they had already accomplished, as well as the union of two wonderful families.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-3509 aligncenter" title="0001HannahJason8.21.10-0019-" src="http://www.brianwedge.com/blog/wp-content/uploads//2010/08/0001HannahJason8.21.10-0019-.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="400" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">The Newagen Seaside Inn played host to Hannah &amp; Jason&#8217;s weekend long festivities.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-3511" title="0003HannahJason8.21.10-0002-" src="http://www.brianwedge.com/blog/wp-content/uploads//2010/08/0003HannahJason8.21.10-0002-.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="600" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Southport Island (in Boothbay Harbor) never disappoints for a wedding ceremony.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-3512" title="0004HannahJason8.21.10-0031-" src="http://www.brianwedge.com/blog/wp-content/uploads//2010/08/0004HannahJason8.21.10-0031-.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="600" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Hannah&#8217;s beautiful dress.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-3513" title="0005HannahJason8.21.10-0116-" src="http://www.brianwedge.com/blog/wp-content/uploads//2010/08/0005HannahJason8.21.10-0116-.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="400" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Bridesmaids hard at work, fastening one of about a hundred buttons on her dress.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-3514" title="0006HannahJason8.21.10-0151-" src="http://www.brianwedge.com/blog/wp-content/uploads//2010/08/0006HannahJason8.21.10-0151-.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="400" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Finishing touches.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-3515" title="0007HannahJason8.21.10-0232-" src="http://www.brianwedge.com/blog/wp-content/uploads//2010/08/0007HannahJason8.21.10-0232-.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="400" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Think she&#8217;s happy to see Jason?  YES!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-3516" title="0008HannahJason8.21.10-0248-" src="http://www.brianwedge.com/blog/wp-content/uploads//2010/08/0008HannahJason8.21.10-0248-.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="400" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Jason waits as Hannah and her dad come down the aisle.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-3517" title="0009HannahJason8.21.10-0267-" src="http://www.brianwedge.com/blog/wp-content/uploads//2010/08/0009HannahJason8.21.10-0267-.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="600" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Their ceremony was on the front lawn of the Inn&#8230; overlooking the sea.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-3518" title="0010HannahJason8.21.10-0276-" src="http://www.brianwedge.com/blog/wp-content/uploads//2010/08/0010HannahJason8.21.10-0276-.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="400" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Bridesmaids and their bouquets.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-3519" title="0011HannahJason8.21.10-0293-" src="http://www.brianwedge.com/blog/wp-content/uploads//2010/08/0011HannahJason8.21.10-0293-.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="400" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Hannah&#8217;s mom and dad watch.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-3520" title="0012HannahJason8.21.10-0339-" src="http://www.brianwedge.com/blog/wp-content/uploads//2010/08/0012HannahJason8.21.10-0339-.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="600" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">The big kiss!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-3521" title="0013HannahJason8.21.10-0362-" src="http://www.brianwedge.com/blog/wp-content/uploads//2010/08/0013HannahJason8.21.10-0362-.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="400" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Coming down the aisle as husband and wife, Hannah &amp; Jason had their 1969 GTO waiting for them.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-3523" title="0015HannahJason8.21.10-0374-" src="http://www.brianwedge.com/blog/wp-content/uploads//2010/08/0015HannahJason8.21.10-0374-.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="400" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">The ultimate getaway car.  Yes, those are the tires burning&#8230; and yes, that is Jason at the wheel.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-3525" title="0017HannahJason8.21.10-0555-" src="http://www.brianwedge.com/blog/wp-content/uploads//2010/08/0017HannahJason8.21.10-0555-.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="400" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Relaxing alone during the cocktail hour.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-3526" title="0018HannahJason8.21.10-0543-" src="http://www.brianwedge.com/blog/wp-content/uploads//2010/08/0018HannahJason8.21.10-0543-.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="600" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Hannah&#8217;s bouquet.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-3527" title="0019HannahJason8.21.10-0626-" src="http://www.brianwedge.com/blog/wp-content/uploads//2010/08/0019HannahJason8.21.10-0626-.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="400" /></p>

<p style="text-align: center;">Their cake.  It was GOOD (we had to try it).</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-3528" title="0020HannahJason8.21.10-0748-" src="http://www.brianwedge.com/blog/wp-content/uploads//2010/08/0020HannahJason8.21.10-0748-.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="400" /> <img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-3529" title="0021HannahJason8.21.10-0749-" src="http://www.brianwedge.com/blog/wp-content/uploads//2010/08/0021HannahJason8.21.10-0749-.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="400" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">A quiet moment caught at the same time from two different perspectives.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-3532" title="0024HannahJason8.21.10-0754-" src="http://www.brianwedge.com/blog/wp-content/uploads//2010/08/0024HannahJason8.21.10-0754-.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="400" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Their waterfront tent glowing at sunset.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-3540" title="0003HannahJason8.21.10-0899-" src="http://www.brianwedge.com/blog/wp-content/uploads//2010/08/0003HannahJason8.21.10-0899-.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="400" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Some serious dancing.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-3542" title="0001HannahJason8.21.10-0795-" src="http://www.brianwedge.com/blog/wp-content/uploads//2010/08/0001HannahJason8.21.10-0795-.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="400" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">And serious fun.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-3531" title="0023HannahJason8.21.10-0882-" src="http://www.brianwedge.com/blog/wp-content/uploads//2010/08/0023HannahJason8.21.10-0882-.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="400" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">After hours bowling in the Pine Room.  (Hannah won by the way).</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-3530" title="0022HannahJason8.21.10-0639-" src="http://www.brianwedge.com/blog/wp-content/uploads//2010/08/0022HannahJason8.21.10-0639-.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="600" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Throughout the night, amidst all the dancing and laughing&#8230; Hannah and Jason were never far from each other.  It was beautiful to see them together, and a joy to document their wedding day.  Thanks so much for having us!  We had a wonderful time!</p>

<p style="text-align: center;">3 hours into the reception&#8230; Nell &amp; Dan are still going strong.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-3361" title="0028NellDan7.24.10-0839-" src="http://www.brianwedge.com/blog/wp-content/uploads//2010/07/0028NellDan7.24.10-0839-.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="400" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">4 hours in&#8230; and they took over the stage and sat in with the band.</p>

<p style="text-align: center;">No wedding at The Newagen Inn would be complete without some after hours bowling.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1569" title="SherryPaul8109-0369-0001" src="http://www.brianwedge.com/blog/wp-content/uploads//2009/08/SherryPaul8109-0369-0001.jpg" alt="SherryPaul8109-0369-0001" width="600" height="400" /></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">A Sebasco Harbor Resort wedding is always a welcomed treat for us.  The beautiful Sebasco Harbor Resort is across the bay from our Boathouse Studio, and is just minutes away from our offices by boat.  It&#8217;s in our backyard quite literally, and when Sherry and Paul contacted us last year to photograph their wedding we were thrilled to support them.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1560" title="SherryPaul8109-0018-0002" src="http://www.brianwedge.com/blog/wp-content/uploads//2009/08/SherryPaul8109-0018-0002.jpg" alt="SherryPaul8109-0018-0002" width="600" height="400" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Paul is a graphic designer who designed their wedding invitation.  He did a beautiful job.  The two little birds became a theme on all their paper.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1568" title="SherryPaul8109-0269-0003" src="http://www.brianwedge.com/blog/wp-content/uploads//2009/08/SherryPaul8109-0269-0003.jpg" alt="SherryPaul8109-0269-0003" width="400" height="600" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Gorgeous floral designs by Minott&#8217;s Flowers.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Sherry and Paul live in Brooklyn, NY, but returned to Paul&#8217;s home state of Maine to exchange their vows.  Sebasco Harbor Resort was a wonderful location choice for these two, as some of Sherry&#8217;s family traveled all the way from Iran to be there for their wedding weekend.  Sebasco is an ideal destination wedding weekend venue, where families can really connect and spend quality time together by the sea.  There&#8217;s plenty of rooms, activities, shoreline and opportunities to get away from it all, while really appreciating the coast of Maine.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1562" title="SherryPaul8109-0111-0005" src="http://www.brianwedge.com/blog/wp-content/uploads//2009/08/SherryPaul8109-0111-0005.jpg" alt="SherryPaul8109-0111-0005" width="600" height="400" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">This ringbearer was focused so intently on doing his job that he kept his head down staring at his precious cargo.  For one instant he looked up and we got that moment.  Adorable.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: center;"><img style="border: 0px initial initial;" title="SherryPaul8109-0138-0006" src="http://www.brianwedge.com/blog/wp-content/uploads//2009/08/SherryPaul8109-0138-0006.jpg" alt="SherryPaul8109-0138-0006" width="600" height="400" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Paul is one of the most fun and expressive grooms ever.  He&#8217;s quick to smile, quicker to laugh and as Sherry walked down the isle with her dad, he was literally bouncing on his toes, grinning ear to ear to see her.  She really did look beautiful.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img style="border: 0px initial initial;" title="SherryPaul8109-0157-0007" src="http://www.brianwedge.com/blog/wp-content/uploads//2009/08/SherryPaul8109-0157-0007.jpg" alt="SherryPaul8109-0157-0007" width="600" height="400" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Sherry, with a flower in her hair that her mom brought all the way from Iran.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: center;"><img style="border: 0px initial initial;" title="SherryPaul8109-0188-0008" src="http://www.brianwedge.com/blog/wp-content/uploads//2009/08/SherryPaul8109-0188-0008.jpg" alt="SherryPaul8109-0188-0008" width="600" height="400" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Oceanfront Wedding at Sebasco Harbor Resort.  Classic Maine.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img style="border: 0px initial initial;" title="SherryPaul8109-0195-0009" src="http://www.brianwedge.com/blog/wp-content/uploads//2009/08/SherryPaul8109-0195-0009.jpg" alt="SherryPaul8109-0195-0009" width="600" height="400" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">The backlit ceremony was beautiful.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img style="border: 0px initial initial;" title="SherryPaul8109-0229-0010" src="http://www.brianwedge.com/blog/wp-content/uploads//2009/08/SherryPaul8109-0229-0010.jpg" alt="SherryPaul8109-0229-0010" width="600" height="400" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">I always love that moment when the couple turns to walk down the isle.  Some cry, others look to their families, but Paul &amp; Sherry just turned to eachother and giggled.  It was so genuine and clear that they enjoy one another so much.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1571" title="SherryPaul8109-0401-0011" src="http://www.brianwedge.com/blog/wp-content/uploads//2009/08/SherryPaul8109-0401-0011.jpg" alt="SherryPaul8109-0401-0011" width="600" height="400" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">These two have a LOT of fun.  Here they&#8217;re just cracking up laughing after their wedding.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1573" title="SherryPaul8109-0420-0013" src="http://www.brianwedge.com/blog/wp-content/uploads//2009/08/SherryPaul8109-0420-0013.jpg" alt="SherryPaul8109-0420-0013" width="600" height="400" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">The Clipper Room is an old shore house that was brought up from the waters edge and beautifully restored.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1572" title="SherryPaul8109-0419-0012" src="http://www.brianwedge.com/blog/wp-content/uploads//2009/08/SherryPaul8109-0419-0012.jpg" alt="SherryPaul8109-0419-0012" width="600" height="400" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Stunning, simple, elegant decorations.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1575" title="SherryPaul8109-0435-0015" src="http://www.brianwedge.com/blog/wp-content/uploads//2009/08/SherryPaul8109-0435-0015.jpg" alt="SherryPaul8109-0435-0015" width="600" height="400" /></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Each guest received a gift bag of dragèe (sugar coated almonds) and Iranian coins.  Want to know the significance of dragèe at a wedding?  We had no idea either, so we looked it up&#8230; and the answer is: &#8220;because the almond is technically a seed, it has long been associated with fertility. And so dragees have come to symbolize fertility, prosperity and good luck &#8211; what we all wish for the bride and groom.&#8221; See the full article from which we snagged that explanation <a onclick="window.open('http://gourmetwalks.blogspot.com/2009/04/dragee-then-and-now.html','','scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,width=900,height=900');return false;" href="http://gourmetwalks.blogspot.com/2009/04/dragee-then-and-now.html">here</a>.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1576" title="SherryPaul8109-0462-0016" src="http://www.brianwedge.com/blog/wp-content/uploads//2009/08/SherryPaul8109-0462-0016.jpg" alt="SherryPaul8109-0462-0016" width="600" height="400" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Their first dance.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-1577 aligncenter" title="SherryPaul8109-0499-0001" src="http://www.brianwedge.com/blog/wp-content/uploads//2009/08/SherryPaul8109-0499-0001.jpg" alt="SherryPaul8109-0499-0001" width="600" height="400" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Wedding cake with a goldfish&#8230; huh?  People always ask us how we find such interesting details at weddings.  The answer is that we ask questions and then pay attention to the answers!  This is Sherry and Paul&#8217;s pet goldfish that made the trip all the way from Brooklyn!  They didn&#8217;t want to get married without him there!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1578" title="SherryPaul8109-0641-0018" src="http://www.brianwedge.com/blog/wp-content/uploads//2009/08/SherryPaul8109-0641-0018.jpg" alt="SherryPaul8109-0641-0018" width="600" height="400" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Rockin&#8217; out.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: left;">It&#8217;s always great to have a fun, casual shoot with a couple in advance of their wedding day, and it&#8217;s one of the reasons we travel the country coordinating with couples to photograph them in their home cities on such a regular basis.  The engagement session not only captures wonderful shots for their announcements and save-the-date cards&#8230; but it also lets us get to know one another and helps folks become used to the process of being photographed.  By the time the big day rolls around, it&#8217;s just that much easier to get the relaxed, real images we love so much.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-1355         aligncenter" title="ElizabethMike62308  009-0001" src="http://www.brianwedge.com/blog/wp-content/uploads//2009/07/ElizabethMike62308-009-0001.jpg" alt="ElizabethMike62308  009-0001" width="600" height="400" /></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">When we got the call last year from Elizabeth and Mike in The Netherlands, we secretly hoped that we would be on the next plane to Europe to tell the story of their incredible lives there in The Hague.  But we quickly learned that Mike grew up in York Harbor, Maine and that they would be traveling back to the United States for only a few days and really wanted to connect with us on Mike&#8217;s hometown beach for a photo shoot&#8230; and then a year later, have a wedding at that same spot.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1357" title="EllizabethMike62809-0046-0001" src="http://www.brianwedge.com/blog/wp-content/uploads//2009/07/EllizabethMike62809-0046-0001.jpg" alt="EllizabethMike62809-0046-0001" width="600" height="400" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Lots of gorgeous, thoughtful details.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1358" title="EllizabethMike62809-0051-0002" src="http://www.brianwedge.com/blog/wp-content/uploads//2009/07/EllizabethMike62809-0051-0002.jpg" alt="EllizabethMike62809-0051-0002" width="600" height="400" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Beautiful bouquets.  Love the fiddleheads mixed in with the flowers.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1363" title="EllizabethMike62809-0108-0007" src="http://www.brianwedge.com/blog/wp-content/uploads//2009/07/EllizabethMike62809-0108-0007.jpg" alt="EllizabethMike62809-0108-0007" width="600" height="400" /></p>

<p style="text-align: center;">The York Harbor Reading Room is perched literally feet from the water&#8217;s edge.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-1366     aligncenter" title="EllizabethMike62809-0172-0010" src="http://www.brianwedge.com/blog/wp-content/uploads//2009/07/EllizabethMike62809-0172-0010.jpg" alt="EllizabethMike62809-0172-0010" width="600" height="400" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">The ring bearer was adorable.  So sweet and compliant&#8230;but maybe a wedding wasn&#8217;t exactly his idea of fun?</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1361" title="EllizabethMike62809-0067-0005" src="http://www.brianwedge.com/blog/wp-content/uploads//2009/07/EllizabethMike62809-0067-0005.jpg" alt="EllizabethMike62809-0067-0005" width="600" height="400" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Their exquisite wedding bands.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1365" title="EllizabethMike62809-0166-0009" src="http://www.brianwedge.com/blog/wp-content/uploads//2009/07/EllizabethMike62809-0166-0009.jpg" alt="EllizabethMike62809-0166-0009" width="600" height="400" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Beautiful.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1368" title="EllizabethMike62809-0259-0012" src="http://www.brianwedge.com/blog/wp-content/uploads//2009/07/EllizabethMike62809-0259-0012.jpg" alt="EllizabethMike62809-0259-0012" width="600" height="400" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Immediately following the wedding, the family celebrates!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1359" title="EllizabethMike62809-0055-0003" src="http://www.brianwedge.com/blog/wp-content/uploads//2009/07/EllizabethMike62809-0055-0003.jpg" alt="EllizabethMike62809-0055-0003" width="600" height="400" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Their love grew over specially brewed coffee, so it was fitting that their table cards be presented with a recounting of their story &amp; a bag of coffee beans.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1370" title="EllizabethMike62809-0499-0014" src="http://www.brianwedge.com/blog/wp-content/uploads//2009/07/EllizabethMike62809-0499-0014.jpg" alt="EllizabethMike62809-0499-0014" width="600" height="400" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">And then&#8230;the bridesmaids celebrate!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1371" title="EllizabethMike62809-0564-0015" src="http://www.brianwedge.com/blog/wp-content/uploads//2009/07/EllizabethMike62809-0564-0015.jpg" alt="EllizabethMike62809-0564-0015" width="600" height="400" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">I&#8217;m always amazed when little kids can clear a dance floor.  This girl had moves!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1360" title="EllizabethMike62809-0059-0004" src="http://www.brianwedge.com/blog/wp-content/uploads//2009/07/EllizabethMike62809-0059-0004.jpg" alt="EllizabethMike62809-0059-0004" width="400" height="600" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">The fiddlehead motif of the bouquet continues in the cake decoration.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1373" title="EllizabethMike62809-0615-0017" src="http://www.brianwedge.com/blog/wp-content/uploads//2009/07/EllizabethMike62809-0615-0017.jpg" alt="EllizabethMike62809-0615-0017" width="600" height="400" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Everyone danced until the wee hours of the morning.  They just never stopped!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1374" title="EllizabethMike62809-0624-0018" src="http://www.brianwedge.com/blog/wp-content/uploads//2009/07/EllizabethMike62809-0624-0018.jpg" alt="EllizabethMike62809-0624-0018" width="600" height="400" /></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">We love these images&#8230; there&#8217;s an honesty about them that&#8217;s impossible to manufacture.  It&#8217;s probably right around midnight, the veil and the fancy, uncomfortable shoes are long gone.  The hours of dancing and celebrating have worn away all but the tired joy of marrying the person you truly love.  These images were captured using only available light, and there&#8217;s a truth about them that we really loved.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1375" title="EllizabethMike62809-0629-0019" src="http://www.brianwedge.com/blog/wp-content/uploads//2009/07/EllizabethMike62809-0629-0019.jpg" alt="EllizabethMike62809-0629-0019" width="600" height="400" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">A summer night, a sparkler, and a smile that is so genuine&#8230; True joy.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Congratulations on your beautiful wedding, and thanks for having me!  Hope to see you guys in The Netherlands next time!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: left;">People who only know us through our editorial and commercial work often ask us how and why on earth we shoot weddings.  The answer is simple: besides the obvious need to pay bills, weddings offer us unprecedented access into fascinating lives of some pretty amazing people.  Week after week we&#8217;re called to the beautiful locations filled with thoughtful details&#8230; but it&#8217;s the people and their remarkable stories that make our work so wonderful.  Last weekend was no exception as I photographed Jordanna &amp; Jason&#8217;s wedding on one of the soggiest days of the year at the beautiful Asticou Inn in Northeast Harbor, ME.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1292" title="JordannaJason62109-0055-0003" src="http://www.brianwedge.com/blog/wp-content/uploads//2009/06/JordannaJason62109-0055-0003.jpg" alt="JordannaJason62109-0055-0003" width="600" height="400" /></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">We met Jordanna and Jason last summer in Bar Harbor, and were psyched to hear their story of friendship that began at Harvard, followed by 12 years as a couple and finally returning to Jason&#8217;s home state of Maine to tie the knot.  Little did we know that Jason and Jordanna are incredibly talented and accomplished&#8230; working on Broadway in various capacities, with Jason most recently working as The Phantom of that little Broadway hit called The Phantom of The Opera.  Yeah, that one.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">As I drove in the pouring rain up to Mount Desert Island, I worried that these two amazing, deserving people would be frustrated because of the bad weather.  Though I&#8217;m happy to work in any conditions&#8230; dust, rain, sleet, riots, fires, whatever&#8230; I never know how a couple is going to react to the adversity of weather, especially at a place like the Asticou Inn, which is famous for it&#8217;s back lawn overlooking Northeast Harbor.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Within minutes of stepping out of the car, I realized that my worries were completely unfounded and that I had landed smack in the middle of a cast of incredible characters, and a wedding that I&#8217;ll never forget.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-1290 aligncenter" title="JordannaJason62109-0009-0002" src="http://www.brianwedge.com/blog/wp-content/uploads//2009/06/JordannaJason62109-0009-0002.jpg" alt="JordannaJason62109-0009-0002" width="400" height="600" /></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">For starters, on the front porch of The Asticou Inn, I met a mountain of a man, who was wearing a tuxedo and brandishing a large kitchen knife while wearing only one shoe.  I watched as he palpated and examined his shoe, occassionally grumbling something under his breath about how &#8220;it had to be done&#8221; and &#8220;there were no other options.&#8221;  His thoughtful contemplation and words reminded me of a surgeon bearing the bad news to one of his patients.  The situation was dire and he would have to &#8220;go in&#8221; immediately to save the rest of the shoe.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-1291   aligncenter" title="JordannaJason62109-0011-0001" src="http://www.brianwedge.com/blog/wp-content/uploads//2009/06/JordannaJason62109-0011-0001.jpg" alt="JordannaJason62109-0011-0001" width="400" height="600" /></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">The knife wielding shoe butcher turned out to be Lou, the father of the bride, and I watched incredulously as he shaved off the heel of one of his dress shoes with an ease of hand that reminded me of a Tokyo sushi chef filleting a tuna.  His movements were confident, exacting and without hesitation.  After his first pass, he strapped the mutilated shoe back on and with a satisfied &#8220;Ah Huh&#8221; proclaimed that &#8220;it wasn&#8217;t bad&#8221; but that &#8220;the other shoe was next.&#8221;  It seems that Lou&#8217;s old Army dress shoes had seen one too many tours of duty and the heels had finally disintegrated to a point of no return.  Lou did what had to be done.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">After thoroughly enjoying Lou&#8217;s inspiring cutlery demonstration out on the front porch, I ventured inside the Asticou to check in with Jordanna &amp; Jason as the rain continued to fall.  They had explicitly written to me earlier that day that &#8220;unless there is horrible weather we would like to have photos out on the rocks near the ocean&#8221;.  Obviously &#8220;horrible weather&#8221; is a relative term, and as an old Outward Bound Captain and Himalayan mountain guide&#8230; it&#8217;s always best for the bride and groom to define those standards rather than me&#8230; otherwise we&#8217;re liable to wind up in a hurricane or a blizzard in no time.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">To my pleasant surprise, they were both thrilled to go outside, and happy to dodge rain drops in order to get a few photos.  By sheer will, they had convinced their friends and family to venture out as well, and through a lot of laughter and rain showers&#8230; we got the images that we hoped for!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-1293 aligncenter" title="JordannaJason62109-0063-0004" src="http://www.brianwedge.com/blog/wp-content/uploads//2009/06/JordannaJason62109-0063-0004.jpg" alt="JordannaJason62109-0063-0004" width="600" height="400" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Singin&#8217; In The Rain.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1294" title="JordannaJason62109-0068-0005" src="http://www.brianwedge.com/blog/wp-content/uploads//2009/06/JordannaJason62109-0068-0005.jpg" alt="JordannaJason62109-0068-0005" width="600" height="400" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Jordanna&#8217;s beautiful smile while hiding under an umbrella.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1296" title="JordannaJason62109-0228-0007" src="http://www.brianwedge.com/blog/wp-content/uploads//2009/06/JordannaJason62109-0228-0007.jpg" alt="JordannaJason62109-0228-0007" width="600" height="400" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Their wedding bands.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1297" title="JordannaJason62109-0263-0008" src="http://www.brianwedge.com/blog/wp-content/uploads//2009/06/JordannaJason62109-0263-0008.jpg" alt="JordannaJason62109-0263-0008" width="600" height="400" /></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Because of the rain, the ceremony was held in a cozy room overlooking the water.  As a team of actors, Jordanna &amp; Jason had decided that their intimate ceremony should not NOT be a performance, but a quiet, meaningful ceremony.  They were committed to having no distractions from their photographer&#8230; and therefore required that I not use flash and not move (even a little) during the entire ceremony even if it impacted the final images.  I always love a challenge, and the bank of windows behind the ceremony silhouetted everyone dramatically&#8230; making details difficult, but not impossible.  I switched to a 1.2 aperture lens, that captured more mid-tones than could normally be picked up in a situation like that.  So far, so good&#8230; we had successfully managed the rain, and the harsh lighting&#8230; all that was left was the reception!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1298" title="JordannaJason62109-0339-0009" src="http://www.brianwedge.com/blog/wp-content/uploads//2009/06/JordannaJason62109-0339-0009.jpg" alt="JordannaJason62109-0339-0009" width="600" height="400" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">When I grow up, I want to be like Jordanna&#8217;s grandmother: beautiful, smart, motivating and eloquent.  Here, she whips up the crowd during her speech.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1299" title="JordannaJason62109-0361-0010" src="http://www.brianwedge.com/blog/wp-content/uploads//2009/06/JordannaJason62109-0361-0010.jpg" alt="JordannaJason62109-0361-0010" width="600" height="400" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Oh, if I only had audio running that day.  So many talented friends.  It was a joy to listen to.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1300" title="JordannaJason62109-0401-0011" src="http://www.brianwedge.com/blog/wp-content/uploads//2009/06/JordannaJason62109-0401-0011.jpg" alt="JordannaJason62109-0401-0011" width="400" height="600" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Breaking the glass.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1301" title="JordannaJason62109-0410-0012" src="http://www.brianwedge.com/blog/wp-content/uploads//2009/06/JordannaJason62109-0410-0012.jpg" alt="JordannaJason62109-0410-0012" width="600" height="400" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">The kiss!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img style="border: 0px initial initial;" title="JordannaJason62109-0205-0006" src="http://www.brianwedge.com/blog/wp-content/uploads//2009/06/JordannaJason62109-0205-0006.jpg" alt="JordannaJason62109-0205-0006" width="600" height="400" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Their cake was a mountain with the two of them embracing on the summit.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1302" title="JordannaJason62109-0517-0013" src="http://www.brianwedge.com/blog/wp-content/uploads//2009/06/JordannaJason62109-0517-0013.jpg" alt="JordannaJason62109-0517-0013" width="600" height="400" /></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">I was warned by the guests repeatedly during the cocktail hour that I would be &#8220;in for a show&#8221; during the dancing.  The first dance hinted at what was to come.  I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;ve ever seen two people so effortlessly and joyfully dance so beautifully.  I could tell that they had done this before.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1303" title="JordannaJason62109-0571-0014" src="http://www.brianwedge.com/blog/wp-content/uploads//2009/06/JordannaJason62109-0571-0014.jpg" alt="JordannaJason62109-0571-0014" width="600" height="400" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Jordanna being dipped (again).</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: center;">And then the crowd got involved&#8230; everyone was AMAZING.  They should have charged admission for their performance (my guess is that most of them do usually).  One moment everyone was swing dancing, then dramatic reenactments of musicals, then some latin dancing, then hip hop&#8230; just incredible.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1305" title="JordannaJason62109-0663-0016" src="http://www.brianwedge.com/blog/wp-content/uploads//2009/06/JordannaJason62109-0663-0016.jpg" alt="JordannaJason62109-0663-0016" width="600" height="400" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Oh yeah&#8230; I forgot about the Russian dancing.  Check.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1306" title="JordannaJason62109-0671-0017" src="http://www.brianwedge.com/blog/wp-content/uploads//2009/06/JordannaJason62109-0671-0017.jpg" alt="JordannaJason62109-0671-0017" width="600" height="400" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Time for the Hora&#8230; tall guys and short ceilings&#8230; bad mix.  Nice reminder Jordanna.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1307" title="JordannaJason62109-0676-0018" src="http://www.brianwedge.com/blog/wp-content/uploads//2009/06/JordannaJason62109-0676-0018.jpg" alt="JordannaJason62109-0676-0018" width="600" height="400" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Jason knows no fear.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1311" title="JordannaJason62109-0745-0021" src="http://www.brianwedge.com/blog/wp-content/uploads//2009/06/JordannaJason62109-0745-0021.jpg" alt="JordannaJason62109-0745-0021" width="600" height="400" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Yup, and just drop a split in the middle of the dance floor whenever you&#8217;re ready.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1312" title="JordannaJason62109-0763-0022" src="http://www.brianwedge.com/blog/wp-content/uploads//2009/06/JordannaJason62109-0763-0022.jpg" alt="JordannaJason62109-0763-0022" width="600" height="400" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Then Madonna&#8217;s &#8220;Like a Prayer&#8221; comes on, and the music theater / interpretive dance gloves come off.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1316" title="JordannaJason62109-0840-0026" src="http://www.brianwedge.com/blog/wp-content/uploads//2009/06/JordannaJason62109-0840-0026.jpg" alt="JordannaJason62109-0840-0026" width="600" height="400" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Not sure if this is part of the Madonna song or an impromptu decision to fly&#8230; regardless, it was incredible and hilarious.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1315" title="JordannaJason62109-0801-0025" src="http://www.brianwedge.com/blog/wp-content/uploads//2009/06/JordannaJason62109-0801-0025.jpg" alt="JordannaJason62109-0801-0025" width="600" height="400" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">When I emailed Jason and Jordanna to ask what their ideal image would be at the end of the night, they said &#8220;something that captures us &#8216;being us&#8217; probably amidst a series of sweaty lifts, dips or spins while dancing together&#8221;.  Got it!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">**********************************</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">So, the next time one of my editors or commercial clients ask why the heck I&#8217;m going off to shoot another wedding, I&#8217;m going to send them this blog link.  Because it&#8217;s fun.  Because weddings are filled with wonderful, meaningful, hilarious and original moments, that could never be duplicated.  It&#8217;s an honor to be there to document a dad sawing off their shoe soles, a grandmother&#8217;s dispensing wisdom and enthusiasm&#8230; and most all, to capture the joy of two people who love each other so completely, like Jordanna and Jason.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Thank you for having me at your wedding!  Thanks for bringing your amazing friends to Maine, for &#8220;going for it&#8221; despite the rain and for sharing your spinning, whirling, dipping sweaty selves with all of us.  What a joy!</p>
