So today my son, Nathan (N8) turns 13. Boy how time flies.
We had a low key, simply family birthday per his request.
As you can see, he got what he wanted for his birthday.

Mary + Greg = WEDDING

Mary & Greg got married on Friday in Northeast Harbor Maine. They ceremony was held on the lawn of the Asticou Inn and the fabulous reception was held in the dining room and deck of the Inn as well. This wedding location was picked by Mary when she was a little girl and all of her dreams came true on August 14th. You'll remember Mary and Greg from the very wet engagement shoot we did a couple of months ago. We joked that they were owed a sunny gorgeous day after braving the rain and that is absolutely what they got. In fact, the weather was the first thing Mary and I said to each other when we met each other at the salon before the wedding.

As you will see, Mary looked absolutely stunning in her gown and antique veil. She didn't want to see herself after she had her dress on so that Greg could see her first. (I know he had to have been impressed) I had so much fun shooting this wedding. We wont mention anything Greg may or may not have done to injure himself the night before and gentlemanly didn't let Mary know until after the vows were said. What a trooper. No matter what, This was a fabulous and amazing wedding. With so many beautiful people almost out shined by the breathtaking scenery I could not wait to get back home and go through the pictures.
