Bethany & Tyler: Married

On March 6th I had the absolute pleasure of photographing the wedding of Bethany and Tyler in Portland, with a reception following at the Portland Country Club.

I think the world of these two~ they are both so sweet, caring and deeply in love. It was such an honor for me to be able to photograph a day that has been in the works since the two were in highschool together!

On to a few of my many favorites from the day...

I started the morning with Bethany and her ladies getting ready. I was there when her florist Emily Carter dropped off the gorgeous bouquets. I loved the colors and unique flower choices Emily incorporated into them.



The couple's niece snuck in the room while I was photographing the dress~


Her gown was stunning~ I loved the halter neckline and beaded detail



All smiles~ getting her make-up done



Simply radiant




The ceremony was held at Woodford's Church~ it was so personal and beautiful. I spoke with the Reverend after to find out if she was releated to the couple because she seemed to know so much about them, but she wasn't. She shared that she thought it was important to get to know her couples as best as she could, she wanted them to be married by someone who they could consider a friend. It was a much appreciated touch!




Married!


The couple's nephew was the ring bearer but instead of carrying the traditional pillow down the aisle, he instead carried a fire truck which fit into part of the couple's theme. Loved it! I had a lot of fun with that truck as you will see soon!


When most people think on a maine wedding in March~ they don't normally think of temperatures close to 60that is just the weather we got, so we were able to head to Falmouth Town Landing to do some photos on the docks.



Tyler is a firefighter and most of his groomsmen were as well~ so the great folks at the Famouth Fire Dept. were kind enough to meet us at the Town Landing to do some fun shots with a truck. The couple wanted fun bridal party shots and I was more than happy to oblige!





Having some fun with the rings





A first for me for the cake cutting~ a personalized fireman's ax was used to do the trick



The first dance









During the father and daughter dances and mother and son dances they asked their guests to join them on the floor~ everyone had a great time sharing in the moment with the couple









The always fun Greg Powers, got the party going early on and the couple's guests made sure it didn't stop till late in the evening...













One of the final dances of the evening





Bethany and Tyler thank you so much for letting me share in your wedding day with you! You both are amazing and I am so happy that you have each other to grow old with! All my best to you both!

Lil' Miss Taylor

This past Saturday I headed to the home of past clients Jaime & Chris to photograph their newborn daugher Taylor.

Taylor is absolutely adorable and mom and dad could not be more great with her or more smitten by her. I feel so lucky to be able to not only document the beginning of Jaime & Chris's new life together, but to now also be able to document their family as it grows.

Below are some favorite pictures I snapped during my visit~ enjoy!

When I arrived Jaime's mom was just finishing up a feeding with Taylor~


Chris and Jaime's dad were doing some work on the house~ so up first was mom and her sleepy girl




Just Miss Taylor


For real is there anything cuter than a baby yawning?








The proud dad


Family photos
















Cuddling with her grandfather






















Thank you so much Jaime & Chris for letting me be a part of Taylor's life. I look forward to watching her grow! She is absolutely beautiful~ and is so lucky to have you as her mom and dad!
