Maine Summer Camp Wedding // Annie & Matt

Annie & Matt's laid-back summer camp wedding should make every couple want to head to the woods for a fun, DIY celebration. My favorite parts of their day:

Their simple, thoughtful Buddhist ceremony

The amazing vegetarian food by Concord Coop

Awesome live music by their friends Citrusphere

Annie & her bridesmaids singing Spice Girls at the reception!

Overlook at the Point Wedding // Courtney & Robert

More than any wedding I've photographed, this one at Overlook at the Point in Georgetown, Maine reminded me of my own. So I might be a bit partial to these two. ;)

Courtney wore a green dress, they had an untraditional ceremony (no walking up the aisle), and their reception was relaxed and simple - no dancing or craziness, just hanging out and eating great vegetarian food with their family and friends. Exactly like mine and Kurtis' wedding!

I really appreciate when couples do things their own way, and I'm proud of Courtney and Robert for really making this day at Overlook at the Point their very own.

Venue: Overlook at the Point

Caterer: Union Street Bakery

Maine Elopement Photographer

What an amazing start to my 2016 wedding season. Shamus & Chelsea came to Maine from North Carolina, where they work as a filmmaker and creative director, and raise their ridiculously cute son Quest (that name!). Shamus' family is from Maine, so it was really special that they came up here for their little last-minute wedding celebration. 

I loved that Chelsea's dress was one that her grandmother made by hand many years ago. I loved that their day was no fuss. I loved that they helped each other get ready. Their sweet ceremony was officiated through facetime (hence the phones chilling nearby - their officiant was sick!), and then we explored the beautiful rocky coast at Ocean Point in Boothbay Harbor. 

It's a funny thing that happens when I'm at a wedding only two hours and end up with way more photos to blog than I usually do for a full wedding. I tried to narrow these down, I really did.
