Stone Mountain Arts Center with Ashley & John

Stone Mountain Arts Center with Ashley & John-

September 30, 2017

Have you ever stumbled upon something amazing that was practically under your nose and you never knew it was there? For me this year that was the Stone Mountain Arts Center in Brownfield, Maine. I think I need to send Ashley and John a dozen thank you notes for introducing us to this amazing place. It’s funny because when we were moving up here to North Conway, NH it was in the middle of a pretty intense wedding season and we met this DJ who was telling us all about his condo up at Attitash Mountain and how much he loved working over in Maine at “SMAC” and at the time I had never heard of it. And then we booked a wedding there and we were super excited to see what this place was all about and we hit 10 levels above and beyond ourexpectations!

First of all, Ashley and John could not be a nicer couple…and with John’s tiny little side kick of a son we were all smile! Not to mention the wedding was in and of itself an amazing day with such a fun bridal party. Once you add Stone Mountain Art Center’s awesome planner Hannah into the mix and you realize just what a well oiled machine this place is! They really have this wedding thing down–the flow of the day was like that moment where all of the pieces of the puzzle just start clicking into place. No one was rushed or behind or lagging or bored, it really just was supremely perfect timing with one thing flowing into the next and into the next. I’m pretty sure if we could steal their planner Hannah and bring her to all of our events she’d make the magic where ever she went!

So, I hope you too find yourself at the Stone Mountain Arts Center for a wedding…but if you haven’t been invited to one of those they have a pretty amazing looking concert event calendar! Enough of the words…you came here for the pictures!

Red Barn at Outlook Farm Wedding with Brianna & Steve

March 18, 2018 in Maine Wedding, MKD Weddings, New Hampshire Wedding

October 20, 2017

We first heard from Brianna around Christmas time the year before she was married–she was a friend of a friend and we knew that her wedding was going to be absolutely beautiful at the Immaculate Conception at Corpus Christi Parish in Portsmouth, NH with a reception to follow at the Red Barn at Outlook Farm in South Berwick, ME with formal portraits at Prescott Park in Portsmouth! We really love it when we get to meet a new couple and capture them in places that are new to us…there is something magical about finding new spots to create fresh art! We met up with the couple for getting ready images at the Sheraton Portsmouth Hotel in Portsmouth, NH where we got to see Liz who was the match maker in this couple/photographer relationship…and Julian of Juharo Productions who just happens to be Brianna’s cousin and an amazing videographer who we’ve now shot three weddings with…small world made even smaller with this two degree connection!

There are some weddings that you go to that just have such unbelievable flow that there isn’t a moment where you wonder what will happen next…and those weddings are often the ones with an unbelievable planner pulling strings and making magic happen behind the scenes! When we met Melanie of Blissful Beginnings at Brianna and Steve’s wedding we knew that this planner working for someone who plans events herself was top notch–with years of experience this wedding was stress free and perfectly planned.

And I love their fun hashtag! #MeetTheMonacos

Wolfe’s Neck Farm Wedding with Katelyn & Ben

March 12, 2016 in Maine Wedding, MKD Weddings

We had never shot a Wolfe’s Neck Farm wedding before and I realized the second that I set foot on the property that I needed to figure out a way to bring my family back to visit or camp or just hang out for an afternoon because it was just gorgeous and I have a soft spot for Freeport, ME. I have great memories of having gone on big excursions to Freeport as a kid always getting good ice cream and walking around L.L. Bean! This late June wedding had absolutely perfect weather and the ceremony overlooking the ocean could not have been more magical! Katelyn and Ben are the couple that just wants to stare at each other all day and smile and high five about how happy they are as things around them are unfolding…I can clearly hear Katelyn’s voice on repeat in my head…she just kept walking around saying, “This is awesome!” This makes our job more so amazing because every time you put the camera to your face there is a happy smiling couple on the other side! I think this often happens when there is an awesome planner that the couple loves and trusts…because they know their wedding day is safe in her hands and can just sit back and enjoy the day! So kudos to Adrienne with refineryevents.com for a wedding so well planned!!!

Robin and Matt: A Wedding at The Spruce Point Inn, Boothbay, ME

May 1, 2013 in Maine Wedding, MKD Weddings

September 14, 2012

Robin and Matt invited us up to Boothbay, Maine to shoot their wedding at the Spruce Point Inn. It was an absolutely gorgeous September day, and their ceremony on the deck overlooking the ocean couldn’t have been more perfect! I love the sunflowers, the yellow accents, the Jimmy Choos, the gorgeous seaside getting ready room with the slight sea breeze pouring in the open windows, and the fun and laughter that both families shared. You know when you can tell how close one family is by the amount of time they spend laughing…and sometimes this can get a little tricky when two families come together? Well not with these two families! It was a seamless integration and there was only room for big huge smiles and lots and lots of love. Speaking of love, the cocktail hour was down by the water near the big long pier–couldn’t be more quintessential Maine!

Jen and Brandon in Rangeley, ME

March 17, 2012 in Maine Wedding, MKD Weddings

10.1.11

Jen and Brandon – These two, you may remember, are a ton of fun. They are both in the huge network of Bentley College grads who have seem to found their wedding photographers in MKD (and we love it!!) and they were absolutely adorable and oh so fun to work with. This wedding brought us to a new location…it’s always fun for Mike and I to shoot somewhere we have never been before–the pictures are yours, we aren’t thinking of the last couple that we shot in the same spot–it’s like walking in fresh snow! So, this wedding was up in Rangely Maine at an awesome ski resort–it was October, the leaves were gorgeous, on our drive up the sky was blue, we had a picnic at an awesome little gorge…sadly…that was Friday and Saturday has some different weather in mind–as you can see from the first image below we had some rain, and some fog…and some HUGE smiles on Jen and Brandon’s faces. Rain couldn’t have happened to a more perfect couple…the mountains were hiding in big billowy puffs of rain clouds, but they were marrying their best friend. They had amazing friends and family around them…and a few rain drops were not going to pull them down!

This day was so full of laughter, and love, and friendship, and moose faces, and Maine…the indoor ceremony was cozy and romantic with the fire place going and every little detail was so intricate and intimate–I’m sure it made every guest of the wedding feel as special as Mike and I did to have traveled so far to witness these two tie the knot!
