Camp Mataponi: Sebago Lake, Maine wedding Erin and Greg 09.12.09

Erin and Greg spent their Maine wedding day on land, air and water— and why not? In true Lake Sebago style, their September wedding event went off without a hitch— starting at home for dress, in church to wed, by limo for ease, by seaplane (CRAZY FUN!) for drama and finally at Camp Mataponi for a celebration. And celebrate they did! It was a wonderful, easy, light and fun day for all.

Erin and Greg were both nervous at times throughout the day but more importantly, at ease with each other every part of the day. That’s a true mark of a great couple! Thank you both for having me along for your wedding ride. It was a special day for you and your families— and for me as well! We have fabulous shots! Here are just a few of the signature images from your wedding …more great shots to come  in your complete collection online! Cheers to you Erin and Greg and take a look!

Flaghill Winery: Lee, New Hampshire wedding Lisa & Keith 09.05.09

0070

Lisa and Keith married at the beautiful Flaghill Winery in Lee, New Hampshire. This couple is very close to my heart. I have a special bound with Lisa, even though I’ve known her only a short time. She had me from from hello. Well, maybe from goodbye— she has one of the best closing email tag lines ever: “Some days even my lucky rocket ship underpants won’t help” ~ Calvin and Hobbes.

Yah, I knew this couple was for me! I quickly got them on board for my 2009 season. Back in the Spring, we did a really fun engagement session that had me rolling on the ground laughing! It was fun to see their reception album and wine bottle favors covered with our crazy e-shots later at the wedding! Lisa also came and did a modeling shoot for me too. We had a great time again!

Keith and Lisa are magically fun together! By the time the wedding hit, we were like old friends. I just felt very much at home with them. Their wedding was far from work! Take a look!

The service took place over looking the vineyard. Keith and Lisa chose two family members to make a statement celebrating the commitment of marriage. It was gorgeous. I was tearing up!

Lisa and Keith kiss after their first dance! By the way, they did a fake out into the history-of -dance-like-skit. They totally nailed it and brought the house down. Great time!

Keith has this hysterical big family! He has two brothers which reminded me of the Walski boys who I grew up with. Ya know, the family down the street with that funny mom (thank God she had a sense of humor, or things may have gone bad! LOL) who somehow kept a very rowdy all-male crew in tact. They are that family! Keith and his brothers are classic.  They had all these inside jokes and were at constant play together… but don’t ask me what they were doing here. No idea.

Keith and Lisa,  More wine on me when I see you next! The pleasure was all mine to be with you on your wedding day! So proud of you guys! (And a super big thanks for my own cork seating card that said “Beth our amazing photographer.” I have it on my desk and I looooooove it! It makes me so happy!)

Blush by Brian, Bar Harbor Regency Hotel: Hillary and Kevin 08.29.09

Photos by Blush Associate, Brian.

Hillary and Kevin teamed up with Brian on their 08.29.09 wedding awhile back. If you recall, that was the day of the crazy hurricane. This couple kept smiles on all day, letting nothing rain on their parade.  And here’s what the couple recently wrote us,”I wanted to say how thrilled we were with Brian doing our wedding.  He was incredible!! We both said that we never noticed him until we wanted him and he was always right there….ninja skills. So, thank you to you guys for making everything great.”

Take a look at just a few teaser shots from Brian. Hillary’s dress… gorgeous!
