Hey everyone! It's been awhile since we did an introduction here and we have lots of new followers lately so wanted to say hi and tell you a little bit about who we are! ✨ . We are Jess and Lyle, a husband and wife (married almost 18 years now...whoa!) photography team in beautiful Portland, Maine. We moved to Maine in 2007 and have been running our business here since we moved. We live in an old house (built in 1870!) in the West End and absolutely love it here -- Portland is filled with great restaurants, beautiful scenery, great stores and lots of other artists. . . We shoot around 20 weddings (plus engagements and elopements!) a year in Maine and beyond and absolutely love it. Our style is a mix of photojournalism (unposed/candid) mixed with fine art/editorial. When we're not shooting weddings I (Jess) also shoot commercial and editorial work and have been lucky enough for shoot for clients like Keds, Rockport and First Aid Beauty (see more at @jessica_weiser) and Lyle also loves shooting landscape work and also does a lot of video work (he even shot his own independent film a few years ago!) and also loves his drone! . When we're not shooting weddings we love travel, are huge homebodies and love binging something on Netflix and hanging out with our 4 cats (who you will see a lot of if you watch our Instagram stories) and also love interior design and working on our house. . We absolutely love the couples that we work with and have been told many times throughout the years that our laid back style and personalities really help people feel comfortable on their wedding day. We are also lucky enough to still call many of our clients our friends which is an amazing perk of our job! Our wedding season kicks off next weekend and we cannot wait to see what 2018 brings! Thanks for following along with our work and adventures! 💓
I'm just back to Maine after an amazing and MUCH needed quick vacation to Cali. I was so happy to meet up with Mark and Meagan in one of my favorite places last weekend. We had a blast shooting and I'm looking forward to seeing them on the east coast in Sept for their wedding. I'll be in CA again this fall if anyone is interested in a session (or wedding/elopement 😍). Ps I styled this shoot too, love that dress!!
Wind in your hair, sand on your feet...summer love is the best. And it's going to be here soon(ish), right? ✨
The snow felt really cool and magical back in December...as I sit here during our second nor'easter in the last week I'm pretty much over it. 🤣 Anyone else ready for spring?
"Maybe you have to know darkness before you can appreciate the light" // Anyone else super excited to see A Wrinkle In Time? I've heard it's visually stunning and I'm looking forward to taking my 12 year old niece to it in a few weeks for her birthday (and the message she'll hopefully get from it). ✨
