Our wedding anniversary was May 29, 2005…it is always so fun to shoot a wedding so close to our own wedding day when thoughts about what it meant for us to get married are so fresh! Jamie and Steve live down here in Worcester and before they had even picked a date they came to a meeting at our house…Jamie said I know two things about my wedding, I want lilacs, and we want you!! We were so excited to meet them and then to have them email back with this date up in Maine and know that we could shoot it…perfect!
Jamie is a dancer and a yoga instructor and from the time we shot their engagement shoot we knew that we would be excited about all that they would do for us on their wedding day! It was also a bonus that my two sister were there since they’re good friends with both Jamie and Steve!! The whole weekend was amazing and the wedding day started with the Bride’s Yoga class, followed by an awesome brunch with some of the most amazing piping hot muffins I have ever seen in my life, followed by getting ready at Jamie’s parent’s house which is nestled into a hill right at the edge of a lake and then a beautiful ceremony where Jamie and Steve just couldn’t stop smiling at each other! Another major bonus for Mike was Jamie’s dad and his love of cars…with 3 of his own Sunbeam Tiger’s to parade around on the wedding day his life felt complete!! So awesome that the yellow car is the very one that her mom and dad brought her home from the hospital in!
The reception was at the Belgrade Lakes Golf Course which is so beautiful at the top of a peak overlooking lakes and valleys and mountains in the distance. The day was beautiful, the families and friends that came to share with them amazing, and we had a blast! Thanks so much for inviting us into such an amazing moment in your lives…and for bringing us someplace new to shoot!
Thank you Mike and Kate! You guys did such an amazing job and made our day so special!
