In a most random coincidence, Meghan and Kevin live just a few miles from where I used to live before I moved to Maine. Thankfully their wedding brought them to Maine or we would never have met! Meghan and Kevin chose a the beautiful seaside Colony Hotel for their wedding reception. The morning of the wedding I met Meghan there and was awed by her calm and composure. Oh, and her dress. Stunning! I maybe also coveted those glittery Kate Spade shoes. All of her ladies were on hand to help get her ready, and she was in good hands.

The day was thick with humidity, but the light was so perfectly diffused that we found ourselves able to take portraits at the beach without concern for squinty eyes. Sometimes you look at those grey skies and wish for a clear blue day. But not that day. Because later during the cocktail on the lawn the sun did come out and we all melted from the heat! There are times when the sun just isn’t welcome.

Meghan and Kevin’s party in the ballroom was so much fun. I love shooting in that sun-filled room, and they certainly gave me some great images as they greeted their guests and danced. It was such a wonderful day. As the sun was setting we headed outside for a quick couple of images before I said my good-byes.

Many thanks to everyone who helped make the day so wonderful. And best wishes to Meghan and Kevin for a life together that is filled with much love and joy. When I finally make it back down to DC, I hope we can meet and catch up!
