Late spring found us at Bittersweet Farm again, a favorite venue of ours. The rain didn’t get our message to stay away but with sunny yellow bridesmaid dresses and touches of yellow throughout Ashley & Rory’s vintage book theme styling – all was sunny indoors! It would seem impossible that all of the books artfully displayed by Sayles Livingston throughout Bittersweet could be from one person’s collection, but they were! They all belonged to our groom, who is not only well read, but a huge Star Wars fan doubly proven by entering the reception to music right from the movie and the stellar Millennium Falcon grooms cake made by Jen at Sin Dessert. (The M’s were very stoked about this cake as well!) The couple’s little boy, Max, served as the ring bearer and this adorable family became one. May the force be with them!

Most likely when you think of Maine visions of lobster, mountains, and hiking come to mind…but this was not the Maine we encountered. Oh no. The setting was the York Harbor Reading Room perched high on a cliff overlooking the Atlantic. Our bride and groom, Emily and Trevor, looked as if they were the latest Kennedy couple to wed. No kidding, Trevor kept hearing it all day! The bridal party was so much fun and we even welcomed the teasing from some punk groomsmen (just kidding, but we are getting the last word.  That means we officially win!  YES!!). Every signal bit of this wedding was quintessential New England, from the quaint white chapel, to the buoy covered shack, to the cliff walk with a breathtaking sunset. This was the first wedding of the season for The Reading Room and it will be a tough one to follow. If you don’t believe us, Google it!… Right, Trevor?

When Meg and John suggested we take their engagement photos at Blithewold Mansion in Bristol we were so excited! And then when Meg told us she had some vintage suitcases and a sculpture her grandmother had made when she was at RISD we were even more stoked! We arrived at Blithewold and saw that the daffodils were in full bloom, Meg was so beautiful, John was gorgeous and everything fell into place. Boom! Engagement session magic! Each step we took into the gardens was more amazing than the last. At one point Meg took off leaping through the flowers and John said “Every guy thinks he’s marrying the most adorable woman alive, I KNOW I am”. See for yourself…these are two high school sweethearts who embody love through and through!
