Patti, Keith, and I met for coffee one winter morning, and before we parted ways I knew I would be crushed if they didn’t hire me to photograph their wedding. We laughed our way through our meeting. That kind of rapport and connection is what makes this job so special and rewarding. And it also helps make the wedding day all that more enjoyable and less stressful.

The wedding was on a perfect spring day at the gorgeous Spruce Point Inn in Boothbay Harbor, Maine. I loved how Patti and Keith put their fun personalities into their wedding attire. Patti wore a fabulous dress and perhaps the most perfect wedding shoes ever (see photo below). And Keith’s madras pants make quite the statement.

I am so grateful for the opportunity to meet this amazing couple. I only wish they lived in Portland so we could get together more often. Many thanks to Patti and Keith, as well as their wonderful friends and family, for welcoming so warmly on their big day. It was a true honor and joy to be able to document it for them.

Here are some of my favorite images from the day. You can also see more in their slideshow.

Many thanks to the other professionals who helped make this wedding so special: Bride wore an Anne Barge dress from The Plumed Serpent Bridal Salon, shoes by Kate Spade, cardigan from Brooks Brothers, veil is from Priscilla of Boston, barrette from Anthropologie; hair by Angela at Akari; bridemaids wore Coren Moore from Flair Boston; flowers by Danielson Flowers of Shrewsbury, MA; venues were the Spruce Point Inn and St. Patrick Church; rocking party DJ by The Pros (Patti and Keith are serious about music and this guy fit them to a “t” — I packed up my gear to the Mighty Mighty Bosstones); Cake and cupcakes by Sweet Sensations/3 Dogs Cafe of Rockport.

I’ve been working on Meghan and Kevin’s Fine Art Book this week. It is a real shame that I have yet to blog about this wedding because the images are wonderful. Must make a point to get back to blogging this month because I hate that there are so many fabulous images from last summer I have yet to share.
