Tory & Andy’s Kennebunkport, Maine Wedding.
When my friend Kate from Beautiful Days Events called me to say she had the perfect client, I certainly listened. Kate and I have worked together for years, and she knows us… she knows our laid back style, she knows we are obsessed with creating amazing photos, but we also like to work with clients who want to have fun on their wedding day. We aren’t uptight. Kate said the were “perfect” and in actuality, she couldn’t have been more accurate. From the moment I met Andy and Tory, I could tell that they had a deep love of family, and they had an even deeper love of laughing with/at their families. All was fair game, so long as people were having a good time. I knew right away that these were my people: they had a passion for beauty, for details, and they had made a lot of effort to create a truly spectacular wedding weekend. But what set these guys apart, was that they somehow let that all go when the big day finally arrived and they trusted their core group of professionals to just “make it happen!” As a result, we captured an amazing wedding day story of love and laughter that we will never forget.

The adventure begins…
The adventure began with the rehearsal dinner at the Webhannet Golf Club in Kennebunkport, Maine. There, I met the family and I quickly saw how deep the connections were between all of them. The toasts were amazing. Tears of joy and love, and just when you thought things couldn’t get any more emotional or someone couldn’t possibly express their love, respect and gratitude more… someone else stood up and shared. It was real and I was honored to capture it for the family.

But before the wedding, there was the rehearsal dinner.
Great families.
Great toasts that brought more than a few tears. Really genuine.
The reaction to the toasts.
These families knows how to laugh and how to have fun.
When the wedding day arrived, we had overcast skies and a bit of rain. Classic Maine weather. I arrived at Tory’s family home and loved all the subtle, layers of details. I really wanted to capture that for them.

Wedding Rings.
Getting Ready.
Beautiful details.
Kate from Beautiful Days Events is a dear friend and one of the best in the business. We shoot all over the world, and there’s no one else like her. She does it all, and she does it with a smile!
Final preparations.
Seeing her daughter in her dress for the first time was a bit overwhelming. The joy and love bubbled up and was beautiful to see. What a family…

Game time. Tory heads out to go get married.
But the tears of joy weren’t over. Everyone so happy to see her. She looked amazing.
Last words of advice. Last minute touch-ups.
The guys headed to Saint Anne’s Church for the ceremony.
Finally. Tory and her dad off to the church in a vintage Studebaker. So cool. Loved this car.
The ring bearers. Yes, we photograph families as well… and yes, we are suckers for cute kids, so there are a lot more of these two.
Walking down the aisle.

Saint Anne’s ceremony.
Full combat photography here: dark church, trying to be unobtrusive, three videographers with tripods everywhere. Tough shooting conditions, but we got the shot! Awesome work all day by our second photographer Brittany. Thank you!!
Incredible details from the balcony. The gorgeous architecture of the church, and a couple in the back row hold hands as the vows are exchanged. Love this.
The kiss! I meant… the high fives!
So happy.
Post ceremony, looking at the amazing floral arrangements, the dress, the rings… and the new husband and wife!
Wedding party.
We had so much fun with these two.
Timeless shot. We had a very difficult overcast day that gave very little contrast for black and white photos, but I shot this one with that in mind. They are gorgeous.
A few more from that series.

Time to hop in the car and head to the reception.
The reception was so beautiful, the emotions bubbled to the surface again. It really was amazing, and it was wonderful to see how much Tory and Andy appreciated how it all turned out.

Reception Details.
So many details… amazing work Kate!
The gold shells on top of the menu. So many layers of neutral colors, subtle textures. It created a warm, elegant and absolutely stunning reception environment.
I want to go back! So beautiful!
Yup. Ringbearer. Sorry.
This is the before photo. Watch for the after photo later.
Some candids shot during some of the family photos.
Sunglasses with #toryandthebois on the side. I am wearing a pair as I write this.
So beautiful.
Oceanfront reception in Kennebunkport. Amazing place.
So simple. So easy. Gorgeous. Timeless.
My favorite series. The magic of our photography comes from having fun with our clients 90% of the time and then sneaking in some photographs when they’re not looking. Tory and Andy were totally game to have fun and it made for a really amazing day.
Gotta have a few portraits.
A bouquet detail. Tory’s “something old” was her grandmother’s pendant attached to her bouquet.
