Sara & Steve‘s wedding was planned to be outdoors at Sara’s parents’ home by the ocean up in Maine.  But the day ended up being a wet one… I mean, it did not stop raining for a moment all day!  They didn’t let it ruin anything though – the wedding was beautiful and everyone had a marvelous time!

The day started at the Hilton Garden Inn in Portsmouth as everyone got ready.  There were some great moments as the anticipation grew!

My assistant, Elizabeth, captured this shot of Steve’s daughter with Sara

Sara was just glowing!

The rain couldn’t take the smile off of her face!

Sara’s flowers were gorgeous!  Her mom did all the floral design, and it was so fabulous, there will be a whole separate post for the details!

Since the ocean view was out of the question for the portraits, we had to get creative.  The porch ended up being an excellent replacement, and with the help of Elizabeth and an umbrella we were able to give them some space for some naturally relaxed portraits.

My FAVORITE!

First Dance

I love the faces of everyone in the background in this one ;)

Steve’s kids were a big part of the day’s festivities…

Ugh, he’s such a cutie!

Sara & Steve – thank you so much for having us there to document your day!  It ended up being such a lovely wedding, and such a fun party!  I’m so glad you didn’t let the rain get you down :)  I hope you love the photos!!
