The stars at night, are big and bright, deep in the heart of…….Maine? Seriously y’all, I thought Texas had some great starscapes, that is until I came to Maine and got to set outside one August night with a glass of local wine and looked, well, up.

Also, not sweat to death at 9 PM.

Last month, we discussed why doing a first look would be super cute and fun, as well as non traditional. We absolutely love doing first look photos, however, I can completely understand the tradition of not seeing your bride or groom until you're about to walk down the aisle. For my own big day I don't plan on seeing my groom in my full wedding look until I'm about to walk down the aisle with my dad (I want to see his face SO bad).

“Sooooo…. what are you doing for bridesmaid’s dresses?”

I texted my friend Jamie the other night. Jamie’s wedding is about 2 months after mine in another high-end location. Her wedding is a bit bigger and… well, literally the opposite end of the spectrum from mine.

It’s not a secret that I include engagement photos in my wedding packages. I do this for a million reasons including I want you to get and be comfortable in front of my lens, I love doing them. The biggest reason is because it’s important for me to build a relationship with you!

It all begins with an idea.
