Kate & Tom’s wedding embodied everything we love: the perfect balance of casual elegance and thoughtful details. Great families, fantastic friends and a whole lot of fun. Kate went to Bowdoin College here on the coast of Maine, and returned with Tom to be married at St. Peter’s By The Sea in Cape Neddick.
The foggy, windy roads of Cape Neddick… and the sign that points the way.
Kate’s unique linen dress.
Kate & her dad on the way to the church. You can see the anticipation on her face.
Preparing for the walk down the isle…
I think her expression says it all!
Despite the fog (yes, it was foggy… again), the reception at the Greystone Manor was gorgeous, and the Sperry Tent a haven of warmth, laughter and fun. The Sperry Tents (in my opinion) are the most elegant tents made… their hand cut wooden posts and beautiful lights have a dramatic impact on the reception.

Beach Pea Bakery’s amazing cake creation, adorned with Kate Martin’s flowers.

Tearing it up…
Tom, Kate and their adoring fans…
As an added bonus, both Christine and I were dragged (literally) into a group photo with fellow Bowdoin alums for the alumni magazine. Polar Bears stick together, but we’ve never had this happen to us before. It’s just an example of the many different ways in which Tom, Kate and their families/friends went out of their way to be inclusive and welcoming!
Thanks to everyone for such a wonderful time! Kate and Tom are off to a well deserved honeymoon in Thailand. So jealous!!!

Julie - Hi there! Does Robert Diberto have an off-season phone number? His Cape Neddick number doesn’t pick up. Thanks!
Brian - Hi Julie, I asked around for you… and couldn’t come up with anything. If you find out, and can even update us, I’m sure others would want to know as well. Best! Brian and Malia
Julie - Brian and Malia – thanks for trying! I am unable to find the owner, he changed his number about a year ago, but I know there were weddings at the manor last summer (2012) so I’m hoping they still do receptions there.. 🙁
I’m desperate!!
