Weddings in Maine are often on the coast with views of the sea.  It’s stunning for sure.  But there’s something about a tent in a field of tall grasses and wildflowers that just screams romance.  Gusty and Quinn’s wedding was held at Gusty’s family home in Brunswick.  The house is a rambling historic cape perched on a hill overlooking a large tree-lined field. They had family and friends lend their talents to all aspects of the day — an old friend turned caterer, Katie Kennedy, handled the show under the tent, a friend of Gusty’s parents created the gorgeous flower arrangements and her husband officiated the ceremony (siblings added personal readings and poems — leading to many tears all around!), favors were mini bottles of maple syrup produced by Gusty’s father (he has a sugar shack behind the house), and another friend took care of the master of ceremony duties. I felt honored to be one of the few outside vendors brought in for the day!

Huge congrats to Gusty and Quinn!  Below are some images from their wonderful wedding.  To see more, check out this slideshow.

When Melissa inquired about having me photograph her wedding, she told me she’d been referred by a dear friend, Rebekah.  Would I consider a wedding on the Cape she asked.  Heck yeah!  More importantly, I just knew that Melissa was a going to be a warm, kind, and creative person (i.e. awesome client) by her association with Rebekah.

Both the ceremony and reception was at the Captain Linnell House in Orleans, MA.  They run a very efficient ship there and offer a pretty outdoor ceremony site.  It’s located just up the road from Skaket Beach, where Melissa spent her summers growing up.  Melissa and Rob were keen to get some portraits down on the beach.  It was sunset, the timing was perfect.  Except we failed to consider the little biting bugs.  These bugs made the beach intolerable and forced us to retreat back to the Capt. Linnell House — but not before we got some really great images.

I had such a wonderful time working with Melissa and Rob and getting to know them and their families.  Click here to see a slideshow featuring some of my favorite images from their wedding.  Congrats to the newlyweds!  Hope you indulged in plenty of gelato (bacio flavor, of course) while on honeymoon in Italy.
