Date: September 13, 2009 / Ceremony/Reception: Sol’s Cliff House, Bar Harbor, ME / Florist: Chelcey Dunham, Queen Anne’s Flower Shop / Dress: The Sabine, designed by Jenny Packham / Cake: Trillium Caterers / Hair: Doreen Tarbox, The Cutting Room (Camden, ME)
I’m skipping ahead a bit in the blogs to post one of our favorites from the year… Arnie and Evan were planning their Maine wedding from New Jersey and we got a chance to meet with them when they came up for a visit a few months before their wedding. We sat in a diner and ate breakfast and talked forever about their wedding and New Jersey (where we spent a few years living too) and so much more. I absolutely LOVED the location of their wedding and all of the decor (which they did on their own). They rented the old mansion for a week and completely gutted it and added their own touches to every room. Their ceremony was outside and then each room had a different part of the reception in it (dinner, toasts, dancing, etc). We even found a creepy room upstairs for some photos of the bride and groom (actually they found the creepy room–even cooler when clients know our style so well that they suggest rooms they know we would love!). And I loved that their first dance was to one of my favorite artists’ songs–”Heavenly Day” by Patty Griffin–sung by her best friend and accompanied by her dad on guitar.
Arnie and Evan are awesome, down-to-earth, kind and gracious. It was great to be there with them to document their wedding and we are looking forward to meeting up with them sometime this spring to shoot their After Session. Thank you both so much and we can’t wait to shoot and see you again.
