I live on the coast of Maine and more often than not shoot seaside weddings so it’s easy for me to forget that there is a whole interior part of the state that is quite impressive. I had been hearing about Moosehead Lake since I moved here, but it’s an almost 4 hour drive away, and there has been plenty of seashore to keep me busy.\u00a0 But then I got a call from mother of the bride, Ginny, about her daughter Jodi’s destination wedding at the Blair Hill Inn in Greenville.\u00a0 She gave me a great reason to make the journey to the Moosehead region.<\/p>\n

Jodi and groom Joe invited friends and family from western Pennsylvania up to Moosehead for a weekend of wedding fun. The wedding ceremony was on the lawn, overlooking Moosehead Lake and was led by the family pastor. The sun started setting and cast a beautiful light on the scene (lighting that is rather challenging to shoot in mind you).\u00a0 Jodi and Joe gamely posed for family portraits as the sun quickly started to dip below the mountains on the other side of the lake and the temperature dropped along with the sun.\u00a0 Guests moved into the glowing cozy barn to find tables laden with home made cookies and jars of Stonewall Kitchen jams.\u00a0 Why so many cookies? Apparently there is a tradition in western PA where the family of the bride bakes cookies for the wedding reception. Imagine an entire table of homemade delicious sweetness and you’ve got the picture (Instead of one big cookie-filled table, Jodi and Joe had platters of them placed throughout the room — tempting you at every turn!). I like this cookie idea and strongly support bringing it to all Maine weddings!<\/p>\n

Getting to know Jodi and Joe and their family and friends has been great. I feel truly lucky to have had the opportunity to be a part of their wedding celebration. Best wishes to the happy couple for a long life together filled with joy and gratitude.<\/p>\n
