A Maine wedding, on a hill overlooking an apple orchard … autumn perfection! Belinda and Jeff were married on one of the hottest days of September last year. A bright blue sky, trees bursting with apples and that familiar crisp evening air made for a quintessential fall day in New England. Thompson’s Apple Orchard in New Gloucester is a spectacular venue for a Maine wedding. Belinda and Jeff opted to see each other in the orchard before the ceremony so we took advantage of this amazing property for all sorts of fun portraits!  We love it when couples carve out some alone time for photos before all the wedding day festivities begin.

Personal touches made up a big part of their wedding day. A custom made lawn game for guests to sign, treasures collected from family and friends for the table tops and a fall favorite make your own caramel apple station for dessert made you feel right at home. Towards the end of the evening we gathered guests around the happy couple for a moment of fun with sparklers… always a great way to end the night! Congratulations again to both Belinda and Jeff, it was such a treat to be a part of your big day!

Spring has sprung here in Maine and we are jumping at the chance to get out there and enjoy it! Engagement sessions are a great get-to-know-you time with our wedding couples and a fun way to work out any nerves that come with being in front of the camera. We took advantage of the sunshine and walked around the docks in Portland’s Old Port with our August wedding couple Missy and Mark. They live in Portland and met in the area during their college years so it made for a perfect backdrop! I think their photos say it all but they really are SO adorable together!!

The weather is great and we are ready for beach portraits to start here in Maine! This season we are scheduling a limited number of sessions on Nantucket and Martha’s Vineyard as well.  Maine portrait sessions and coastal New Hampshire portrait sessions will be scheduled starting… now!!! These warmer temps already have us out on the beach and visiting with some of our favorite families. Give us a call in the office or send along an e-mail to get your family portrait session on the schedule. Hope to see you all soon!!
