When you attend a university that does not have a big sports program, where academics and internships are more competitive than the basketball team, you get used to people not being familiar with the school. <\/span>At American University<\/a> we waited for hours for tickets to hear President Clinton speak while at other schools the students were queuing up for March Madness. <\/span>So when Alison and Phil told me they first met at American, I was floored. <\/span>It\u2019s so uncommon to talk to people who have heard <\/em>of American let alone went there.\u00a0 Clearly I was meant to photograph their wedding. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Alison and Phil have no real ties to Maine. <\/span>They wanted a small, low-key wedding with just their family. <\/span>They chose On the Marsh in Kennebunkport for their ceremony and dinner. <\/span>Alison spared no expense when it came to the table d\u00e9cor. <\/span> <\/span>She brought in the talented folks at Fleurant to create a stunning look with lush burgundy, purple, and orange flowers and warm silver accents. <\/span>A girl after my own heart, Alison insisted a proper wedding cake even if it meant lugging the uneaten bottom tier back home to Chicago. <\/span>I know I\u2019ve said it here before, but I\u2019m not ashamed to repeat it \u2013 I love that my job ends with cake! <\/span>Cake baker extraordinaire, Gayle Forte, did not disappoint. <\/span> <\/span>

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Thanks to Alison and Phil for braving the chilly \u2013 and windy \u2013 fall day. <\/span>It was worth it \u2013 these photos are so wonderful! <\/span>And thank you for sending me home with a big slice of cake. <\/span>It was hands down the most delicious cake of the season. <\/span> <\/span>Your Chicago friends must have been so happy to help you eat the rest of it! <\/span>Best wishes to you both.\u00a0 And\u00a0go Eagles!!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Below are some of my favorite images from the day. <\/span>To see more, please take a look at the slideshow<\/a>. <\/span>Friends and family, the proof gallery is up on Pictage<\/a>. <\/span>You will need to contact Alison or Phil for the access code. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
