Sheree & Terry - Reception

Friday, Sheree and Terry got married in the fabulous Basilica of Saints Peter and Paul in Lewiston and held their reception at the Hilton in Auburn. Beautiful wedding, gorgeous people and most of all GREAT fun! I haven't gone through most of the pictures yet, but I knew that I wanted to post a blog about the reception right away. This has to have been the most entertaining Garter/bouquet section of a reception I have ever seen.

Here is Sheree throwing her bouquet. She had to get on her knees because the ceiling was too low. One of her bridesmaids caught it.This was the group of guys (biggest most eager group I've seen) On of his groomsmen caught it (or should I say wrestled for it)

This was the bridesmaid's reaction after the DJ announced that the groomsmen was to pull the garter up until the groom says stop. (groom's in the vest)

He's taking his time and making it a show. Everyone including the videographer and myself couldn't stop laughing.

He's waay up there.
This was just so funny, what fun!

Guest Storybook

Heather and Josh received a Guest storybook for their wedding which included photo's from their engagement photo shoot and quotes from a questionnaire that I asked them to fill out describing their relationship and how the feel about eachother. The couple loved the book and I heard that the guests did as well. This was apparent by the loving words that filled every page. The book is 81/2 inches high by 11 inches wide. 20 pages with a black linen cover. I had a great time designing this one because there were so many great pictures to choose from of their engagement (which included little Noah)

Heather & Joshua

Heather and Joshua got married on Saturday and it was a wonderful wedding! They got married at the Poland Spring Resort and boy did they pick a great place to get married. They had their choice of having the ceremony outside at the gazebo or inside the All Saints Chapel. Heather wanted to base this decision on the weather. So Saturday morning while we were at the hair salon she made her decision (it was a tough one for her) to have it in the chapel. It just felt like the right thing, she said. Well it turned out to be JUST the right thing because it started to sprinkle just as we were walking out of the hotel to go to the chapel. Luckily the perfection of the day didn't end there, just as the ceremony finished, the sun came out! Just in time for some formal shots will their family and friends. There were so many beautiful places to do the portraits, we ran out of time (plus we were all getting hungry) so we went to several gorgeous places but not all of them. Luckily Heather & Josh's family and friends were so supportive and patient, we got lots of great shots in some really pretty places. This whole crew was loads of fun (and very good looking) I truly enjoyed photographing their wedding day.

This is the sign as you enter Poland Spring resort (they really mean it!)

This is the whole family with Friends. Everyone is looking at Heather & Josh's son Noah, who had his own agenda for the photographs. This was a candid moment while Noah just strolled in front of the group and mom and dad bent down to coax him into the pictures. What a sweet moment (even though, a few minutes after, I (the mean ol' photography lady) backed into him and knocked him over. Poor little guy!)

Alison & Ken

Saturday I had the pleasure of photographing Alison & Ken's wedding. What a great couple and amazing family they have just officially created. Alison and Ken each have 2 gorgeous children. Together they have a drop dead beautiful family which is FULL of love and laughter. I had a blast at their wedding. Here are a few pictures of the family.

This couple definitely has a spark
(by the way, they are leaning on Alison's red Mustang which is rumored to be one of the MANY reasons Ken loves her)

Thank you Ken and Alison!!
