Erin and Dave (you might remember their engagement session) put a lot of work into creating a romantic and vintage feel for their wedding at Gilsland Farm Audubon Center in Falmouth, Maine. They pulled it off with flying colors. The day was spectacular. From start to finish I saw love and joy and support for Erin and Dave.

Gilsland Farm has beautiful scenery and loads of wildlife — birds galore, adorable woodchucks, and a not so cuddly wild turkey.  The wedding ceremony was under the shade of the large trees (homes to the woodchucks) next to the Audubon Center.  The reception was held under a tent, and the party did not stop until late in the evening. As I was walking to my car at the end of the night I saw a full moon high in the sky above the still rocking tent. Not able to walk away from that without grabbing a few shots, I quickly pulled out my camera and shot a few exposures. It was a fun way to end a truly wonderful day.

Many thanks to Erin and Dave and to their family and friends for welcoming me so warmly and for giving me so many amazing moments to photograph. It was a true pleasure to work with everyone.

I had a hard time narrowing down this wedding for this blog post. But there’s still more to see in this slideshow.

 

 

 

Many thanks to the wonderful professional vendors who helped make this wedding so wonderful. Beautiful natural setting is Gilsland Farm Audubon Center. The bride wore Galina and bridesmaids wore Suzi Chin.  The bride’s hair and makeup is by Head Games Salon. Flowers by Harmon’s and Barton. Ceremony and cocktail hour music performed by the Tick Tock Trio. DJ Todd “The Rocket” kept the party going well into the night. And last but not least, almost all of the details and decorations were either found or made by the bride and groom.

 

 

This time of year is really perfect for family portraits. The grass is super green, not burnt out from the hot summer sun, all the flowering plants are bursting with color and softness, and the kids (parents, too!) are beyond ready to be outside in the warm sun.

I always get giddy when UPS drops off a new wedding book. After many weeks of work, it’s always a thrill to look at the finished book. This is a 10×10 Fine Art Book with a custom photo cover.

Don’t you love how the image wraps around the edges of the cover?

The Fine Art Book pages are thick and rigid and feature a luscious matte texture. I love the saturation and crispness of the images printed on this paper.

 

These Fine Art Books are simply gorgeous. Each one is fully custom, and you can choose a variety of options for the cover including the photo version you see here as well as leather, fabric, and a fusion cover that combines both an image and leather or fabric.

So what are you waiting for? Contact me about making one for you. I love doing them, and you will be so happy you have one.
