Rhea and Ollie 10.23.10 :: maine wedding :: freya photography

I had the pleasure of being a guest and a photographer at the fabulous Rhea and Ollie's wedding. You may know of Rhea from here, where she runs a pretty skookum fabric store. She's one crafty lady and her wedding just rocked! We met two hours prior to the ceremony on the top of Cadillac Mountain. I mean, could there be a more gorgeous place to take photos of a bride and groom?!

They were a super sweet couple, and with one bridesmaid and one groomsmen, the photo possibilities were endless! We had so much fun. After the mountain, we headed down closer to the ceremony and reception site to an old stone carriage house. Rhea even opened the gate for a horse drawn carriage (after I moved my car that was parked right in their way!) and the woods were just amazingly gorgeous.

Rhea had many special touches to her wedding including fabric flowers, handmade quilts (with fabric from her shop!) lining the benches of the ceremony site for guests to cozy up in, homemade chive blossom vinegar, and a handmade quilt top for people to sign as a guestbook! So sweet!

Laura and Noah :: Maine Wedding Photographer :: freya photography

Words can not describe this day. I thought and thought about what I could say about this spectacular, unique wedding full of love, but my mind was just full of space and completely open to accepting everything about this amazing day.

These two are truly loved; by each other and the loving community of friends and family they have built around them.

Enjoy. xoxo.

 

 

Some Favs :: Maine Wedding Photographer

I finished editing a wedding recently and had to share these favorites of mine. I love when couples have fun during the shoot!

Gotta love it!

 

And here are some of me in action at the wedding. Thanks to Maria for snapping these!

 

I'm hoping to get together some tutorials to share over the winter on here. Does anyone have a request?

Summer and Abe :: Maine Wedding Photographer :: freya photography

Oh my...this couple! Summer called me up after she found my site and wanted to get together to chat photos. So I met her and her good friend for a glass of wine and we talked about her wedding and all the planning that goes into it. Everything sounded amazing...from the vintage touches to the croquet (think The Great Gatsby) and the wonderful, outstanding, spectacular DJ. I was so excited to work with her and get to know her throughout our conversations.

When we arrived at the site, it was just beyond beautiful. They did such a marvelous job decorating and everything just looked so sweet and perfect. And her dress was so lovely! It was her mama's dress that she had refitted and styled for her.

The day had the most amazing flow to it, which is something that I think is hard about weddings. But not theirs! It was like one big party! Everyone was having so much fun. My assistant and I ended up staying a wee bit later just to party and have fun (per the bride's and many guests' requests!) and boy...let's just say cartwheels and lots of singing happened. The DJ (DJ Jon) was awesome and the music had everyone dancing for hours.

So Summer and Abe, enjoy your preview! You guys are awesome. Best wishes for the many fun years to come.

The Photographer in Action :: Maine Photographer

It's not often that I get to see myself in action. Sasa (my assistant) captured these images of me in action at the last wedding...

The details. What I was taking a picture of...

Waiting.

Orchestrating the largest family photo ever.

Shooting the largest group ever (50+ people!!).

At night. Shooting in low light, capturing the cutest kids ever!

Thanks Sasa for the pics! It was a fun and busy night!

Ashley and Ebben's Wedding :: Maine Wedding Photographer

These two? The cutest! Remember their engagement session? They are so much fun. And their wedding was awesome. It took place at a railroad village, which meant awesome backgrounds and fun props! Ashley and Ebben have the best sense of humor. She had me giggling the whole time! And that dress?! Oh my...I would want to wear it everyday. It was just that cute!!

Okay, onto the pics!!...

Travis and Ida :: Maine Wedding Photographer

Ida and Travis...they are awesome and amazing and oh so perfect together. Ida is a dear friend of mine and I was honored to be there on their big day, capturing images like I usually do, but also as a guest. It was a lovely, meaningful ceremony and the reception to follow was full of fun and laughter. These guys are the greatest.

Thanks for sharing your love Ida and Travis!! You guys rock!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Kimberly and Immel

Kimberly and Immel had a beyond perfect day. Seriously...I woke up to severe thunderstorms, drove down to find the skies clearing, but it was still dark and overcast. The rain was threatening, but they decided to go for the beach ceremony anyway. The beach was gorgeous! Overcast with a light fog. Perfect for photos. Then the fog lifted and the sun came out after the wedding party pictures. The rest of the day was perfect, until my assistant and I left to drive home. We left the cozy little pocket of sunshine over the reception site and drove through torrential downpours and flash flooding. It was just crazy! So Kimberly and Immel...if weather on your wedding day is any indicator of your life together, I'd say you two are going to be basking in your own pocket of sunshine forever! I had so much fun you two...I hope you enjoy your pics!
