Emma and Tom’s Boothbay Harbor, Maine wedding

We met Tom and Emma a few months before their wedding to do their engagement session (which is one of my favorites), and immediately picked up on how sweet and thoughtful they were with each other. Their wedding was in September on in Maine, at the Linekin Bay Resort, a beautiful little spot on the coast in Boothbay Harbor. Emma did an incredible job planning their wedding, with lots of special touches created by her, including designing her paper goods and the logo for the guest totes, and collecting blue pitchers with the help of her mom from tag stores and thrift shops for a year that were later used as centerpieces on all the tables. Documenting Tom and Emma’s day surrounded by their family and friends (and lots of Bowdoin alumni!) was so wonderful, thanks T&E and we hope to see you in the future! :)

Stunning! I loved reliving Emma and Tom’s beautiful wedding day through your lovely photos. It is so true, one can immediately sense how sweet and thoughtful Emma and Tom are with one another. I am thrilled we were able to work together on such a wonderful event.

Isabel’s Maine Senior Photos

Late last year we were contacted by Isabel’s mother regarding her senior photos. She actually had to get her photos done early because she was getting braces in a few weeks and didn’t want them in her photos (completely understandable!). So even though it was chilly we met up with our makeup artist and got her makeup done and then ventured out to the location for the shoot. Isabel was a total pro in the cold weather, and the setting was actually perfect for the different outfits she brought. We are thrilled to have her as our first featured session featured on our new senior photo website. Check it out and please get in touch if you need to book a session for this year, we have limited spots and availability and TONS of ideas… we have been shooting seniors in Maine for 7 years now and every year we have an amazing group of unique seniors who come to us because they want something that is reflective of their style and personality. We also have an incredible new member of the Fidelio team that we can’t wait to introduce you to soon! :)

Maine Bridal Fashion

When things are a little slower for us during the winter, we often get the chance to do some shoots for fun, including this which was shot in January. We teamed up with Colleen from Aphrodite Salon and Brenda from Adore Rouge (highly recommend both!) for this winter bridal fashion session. Unfortunately you just can’t plan on what the weather is going to do in January in Maine, and this happened to be shot on THE coldest and windiest day of the winter I think, and we opted to just go with it and find another way of doing the shoot rather than subject the models to the horrible conditions outside. I adore the light in these shots. Here are a few from that day! Thanks so much to everyone who contributed to the shoot, and we shot something else with this team that we can’t release yet but it will blow you away! :)

Patty and Matt’s Bretton Woods, NH wedding

We still have lots of weddings to blog from 2012 (actually still have some from 2011 too), but I am skipping to the very end of the season because this winter wedding was so different from all the others! We met Patty and Matt a year before their wedding and talked with them over lunch while they told us about their wedding plans. Matt actually proposed to Patty in Ohio, in exactly the same place his dad proposed to his mom. So sweet, right? Their wedding ceremony was at a beautiful little church in Littleton, NH with their reception at the gorgeous Mount Washington Hotel in Bretton Woods, White Mountains on a freezing day in late November. Their friends and family had tons of fun during the reception, which you can see from the photos. We especially loved a surprise toast that Matt’s aunt and uncle gave with different hats (see below!) as well as the incredible band from Boston that played, The Dave Foley Band, and a huge highlight was when Patty joined in and sang Johnny Cash’s “Jackson.” Check out some of our favorites from their wedding day below (very reception heavy in photos, so many amazing moments there!). Thanks Matt and Patty, you two (and your friends/family) are awesome! :)

Wow, I love what they did for the wedding favors, what thoughtfulness. Beautiful wedding, beautiful people, beautiful pictures! :)

Tess JohnsonMarch 22, 2013 - 3:27 pm

That looks like the most fun I think I have ever seen at a wedding. Gorgeous documentation Jess and Lyle! You guys rocked it!

Corey Doyle BalazowichMarch 22, 2013 - 3:56 pm

Oh wow, this is a lovely wedding! I adore the one of them by the fire! I think what they did in lieu of favors is so so so wonderful, what a great idea!

SandraMarch 22, 2013 - 9:52 pm

Fabulous! It looks like everyone had a great time. Love that picture of the flower girl. You always hit it just right.

Lynn SullivanMarch 23, 2013 - 3:19 am

I like it. Matt looked a bit worried pre wedding. I like to boots with the wedding dress sitting around a firepit.

Lynn SullivanMarch 23, 2013 - 3:22 am

Patti — the priest put his hand on your head pouf during he ceremony. That will be the only time that anyone will do that! just kidding

Jean SullivanMarch 24, 2013 - 5:09 pm

Happiest couple on the planet, sharing so much love with all of us. Destination weddings are the way to go; Sullivan’s want LOTS of days for celebrating. Perfect couple, perfect wedding.
