I love shooting up in the Boothbay area. There is something about the quality of the light, rocky coast, sparkly ocean, and the narrow roads that wind along the shore that just …  pleases me, I guess. Just past Boothbay Harbor is the island of Southport. Its location is convenient to the shops and restaurants of Boothbay Harbor, but Southport really offers visitors the option of tuning out all that and enjoying the natural beauty of Maine’s coast. I can think of no better place to do that than at the Newagen Seaside Inn.  Charming and secluded, the inn’s fine service and amenities really make it the kind of place you’re not in a hurry to leave.

Timmi and Erik invited friends and family to join them at the Newagen for a weekend of festivities.  They had perfect late summer weather for their wedding weekend, and guests seemed to fully enjoy their time in at the inn. Timmi and Erik loved the bikes the inn provides, and as they are avid bikers themselves, they decided to make it a bit of a theme for their wedding (see their adorable invitation below). We planned their “first look” photos on the dock, and there couldn’t have been a better spot for it. Timmi and Erik shared a few moments by themselves, and I was given awesome opportunity get some beautiful images. Between the bride and the groom and the location it was pretty hard to get a bad picture. The ceremony was a bit later in the day, and after the cocktail hour the bride and groom and I sneaked away to get a few pictures with the bikes and some “just married” signs Timmi had made. They wanted to use the image for their thank you cards, and they wanted it to be a surprise. We almost missed sunset — the sun sure goes down fast in September — but managed to grab a few shots on the rocks. I think Timmi and Erik especially enjoyed having a moment away from the wedding reception where they could soak it all in.  Dinner and dancing followed late into the evening.

Best wishes to Timmi and Erik for a long and happy life together. And many thanks to them and to their friends and family for having me.
