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?

One of the most rewarding parts of our job is capturing moments.  I know what you are thinking – Isn’t that what photography is?  Capturing moments?  Obvs.  We are discussing something a little deeper.  What we are talking about is the moment a bride puts on her veil, the moment a couple is announced into their reception as husband and wife, the moment before a father walks his little girl down the aisle.  These are the biggest moments of our clients lives up to this point and it is truly an honor when someone picks us to capture them.  It’s no wonder that we have been known to tear up at weddings.  You might see one of us doing a quick eye wipe during the vows or a moving toast.  It’s also the same reason we have to force ourselves to take pictures and not to dance at the reception.  The importance and emotion of a wedding is not lost on us.  We are there to document your day but we are also along for the ride, feeling all that happiness and love for our amazing clients.

Weddings are usually about a couple, two people joining as one. Ryan and Rachel brought their family together when they got married on New Year’s Eve. Their two year old, Liam, and Rachel’s daughter, Ava, were there to walk their parents down the aisle. The setting for this intimate affair was the historical Slater Mill in Pawtucket, RI. It was a beautiful spot and a photographer’s dream. Rachel said that her and Ryan were like the gears of a machine, two opposites filling in each other’s voids. There is strength in the differences and comfort where they overlap… (I did steal that from a song. I’m not that poetic). We had a blast taking photos with Ryan and Rachel. They are two of the nicest people you’ll ever meet. This truly was a great way for us to end the year.
