The Bride carefully planned and created every gorgeous detail of her intimate wedding day.

But she did not plan for the fast and furious stormed that raged over the mountain top.  The wind up-ended the bar, the rain soaked every table, and the hail beat upon the tall windows.

Then “Here Comes the Sun” echoed through the halls.

And the Bride smiled.  Nothing could cloud the day.

The celebration began with wallop … and it has not stopped.

Cheers Christine & Curtis!… to you and your first anniversary. There will be storms, but you know how to weather them well – with spirit and ease.  I will always think of you and remember “it’s all right”.

The bride simply glowed in her Claire Pettibone dress.

Wildflowers, lace, loved ones, and the salt air of the sea; the perfect combination for a perfect day.

But nothing tops the perfect match of Becky and Frank.  

Clearly over-the-moon in love.  The best kind.

Cheers Becky and Frank … to you and your third anniversary.  Thank you for sharing all the joy of your beautiful Maine island wedding day.  You truly illustrate the lyrics of your first dance:

“… know when the stars are aligned you can
Bump into a person in the middle of the road
Look into their eyes, and you suddenly know.”

Sometimes we forget. 

Sometimes we need to be reminded of the sheer and amazing beauty that surrounds us. 

We are lucky to live and work in the midst of the fabulous and fabled rocky Maine coast. A place of such character. Stunning. Charming. A perfect combination. 

I was lucky enough to work with a couple who embodies all of those things in their love one for each other, their individual and collective selves and they way they blended it all together into one perfect day. On the beautiful coast. In this place we call home. 

Thank you Page and Toby for the gentle reminder and allowing us to share in your joy. Cheers to you on your first anniversary… and here’s to many more to come.
