Christin and Brent were married back over labor day weekend.  I was hoping to get this post up quicker, but alas this is the height of the height of the busy season!  They were married up in Scarborough Maine (not at the scarborough fair mind you) on the beach.  The reception was at The Landing at Pine Point, just a few steps down the road.

I found Christin and Brent staying at a beautiful house just down the street from the ceremony site.  Everyone from the wedding had been living in this house for a week, it was HUGE!  The ceremony site was just down the way in front of Christin’s grandparents home.  It was a beautiful beach wedding.  The sun was high in the sky and though it was a bit windy, the bright sun in the cloudless sky kept everyone warm.

After the ceremony we stayed on the beach to do portraits.  Don’t let the blue blazers fool you, this was a fun crowd.  Its been YEARS since a bridal party has formed a pyramid, these guys did several!

The building that is now The Landing, used to be a church… The inside is gorgeous.

This was a P-A-R-T-Y!  There was a lot of singing…

Dancing…

and all around FUN had by all!

And some very tasty sweets by Edible Delights.  I swear I only had 1…

Early in the evening there was a slide show played on the big screens.  It was very emotional for everyone in the room.  I see wedding shows done all the time, this one was simple and it was very powerful.  Truly a special treat for everyone in the room.

There isn’t much more I can say about this beautiful couple, and their amazing day.  Congratulations to you both!

If your first question to yourself when reading the title of this post is, has he gone off his meds, what on earth is a Nonantum, well… I’ll explain.

The Nonatum Resort is an amazing little spot right on the water right outside of Kennebunkport ME. Yes that Kennebunkport that is famous for Bush 41’s summer home…

Well this bride and groom spent quite a while looking for places to have their reception and after an exhaustive search of the area this was the spot. The kitchen even accommodated them making several family recipes for the dinner, now that is really cool.

After we finished getting ready, this couple alloted about an hour with me to go for a little adventure. We scurried up the coast a bit to find some spots out of the wind to do some bridal portraits.

After portraits and a light snack, we ventured off to the church. It was the beautiful historic church in the center of Wells ME. After a beautiful ceremony the bride and groom took off in a “special” limo.

I easily could have put 20 images up on this wedding alone, but I had to edit to tell a story… Part of that story involves the “shot ski.” If you say it fast enough shotski you think I am talking about a older Polish gentleman, not the case. This is a tradition amongst skiiers, and this is a family of powder hounds…

Yes that is the bride with the grooms brothers doing a shot. As the story goes at the engagement party she drank them under the table on that thing. Made her an instant hit in the family!

Well this could go on and on and on, I had so much fun with this couple! But I will leave you with a perfect end to a perfect day…

I try to learn a little bit about the people I work with, without asking for their life story.  Often times I learn the most thru the speeches.  This couple had such a sweet story, high school sweethearts, the go across the country to college to be together… it really made me smile while taking their pictures.

Even on a cloudy cold day in Maine love finds a way to shine thru.  This was a quintessential Maine wedding, a little chapel on a hill, a cozy function hall for the guests to enjoy their party and of course, love.  The room was full of it all day long from the faces of the bride and groom, from their parents and grand parents. It as a joyful day and I was lucky to be a part of it.
