Prouts Neck<\/a> is about five minutes down the road from where I live.\u00a0 It’s an exclusive enclave of mostly gated streets, off limits to non-residents, surrounded by stunning rocky cliffs and ocean views.\u00a0 Famous for being the home of Winslow Homer, Prouts Neck was somewhat of a mystery to me.\u00a0 So when Maggie and Matt called me about photographing their wedding there, I was giddy at the thought of seeing what lay beyond those gates.<\/p>\n

Maggie grew up vacationing at her grandparents’ home on the aptly named Winslow Homer Drive.\u00a0 She and Matt visited often, and one afternoon they climbed out to a rock along the cliff walk and Matt proposed (they pointed out the rock to me — I’m still not quite sure how they reached it).\u00a0 Maggie and Matt are both med students and had little time to devote to wedding planning.\u00a0 We did a quick walk through of the various locations a couple of days before the wedding.\u00a0 I was floored.\u00a0 I learned that they are ridiculously adorable and affable, and I also found myself surrounded by all the natural beauty a photographer could ask for on a wedding shoot.\u00a0 As for the church, it’s a dream for anyone who loves history AND stunning light. And without a doubt, I knew the country club, with its views of the sea, was going to afford us some sweet light at the end of the day (what I didn’t know was that it would be so clear on the wedding day that we would be able to see Mount Washington from the lawn!).<\/p>\n

It was such a treat to photograph a wedding — one that was fabulous in it’s simplicity and joy — in my home town.\u00a0 That day reminded me that when I moved my business from the glitzy ballrooms of DC to natural beauty of Maine, it had been a fair trade.<\/p>\n

A huge congratulations to Maggie and Matt whose adventurous spirit and charm helped to make an already dream job all the better.<\/p>\n
