Aliza and Brendan were married on a crisp fall day in South Portland, Maine. Despite the chill in the air and the rushed schedule the bride and groom never faltered. We were able to get some beautiful images along the coast at Fort Williams in Cape Elizabeth before their ceremony at sunset at  Congregation Bet Ha’am. This wedding had so many amazing personal touches. Aliza is an artist, and she created a stunning ketubah crafted from wood as well as Brendan’s wooden cufflinks. Brendan’s mother is also an artists, and she crafted all of the decorations from the chuppah to the centerpieces and the fabulous cornucopia on the candy table. Aliza’s mother is a cantor in Pennsylvania and performed parts of the service making for a truly personal and special ceremony. This was truly a unique event like none other. Family and friends from near and far danced all night long in celebration of the newlyweds.

Best wishes to the happy couple!

 

Feeling like the luckiest photographer for getting to photograph both of the Smaldon sisters’ weddings!  This family is fabulous, and they sure know how to throw a great celebration. Emily and Stephen’s wedding did not disappoint — not only does this family happen to have the most joyful group of friends and family, but the design and food was amazing AND the dance floor didn’t empty all evening.

It was a true honor to get to photograph this wedding, and I wish the happy couple all my best!

I’m hard at work editing the book images from a summer wedding at the Bar Harbor Club. Love it when the tide is out and we can shoot down on the land bridge. I’ve never actually been able to walk out to the island. Always too busy shooting a wedding…
