Chebeague Island, Maine Wedding Shoot











Last weekend I was out on Chebeague Island off the coast of Yarmouth Maine to photo document Maegen and Dan’s wedding. This was the first island wedding I have done and since the island is small (3 miles by 1 mile) I could not bring my vehicle out to the location. So due to this all the gear, which would be loaded into vehicle had to be loaded into a large heavy duffle bag and carried on and off the ferry. Granted I did not use all the gear I brought with me but it was there on the island with me just incase it was needed. Lesson learned next time it would make sense to ship most of this gear to the location the week before.

With all the weddings I do I meet the couple and say to my self is this couple I would enjoy spending the day with. Meagen and Dan are that type of couple their families and themselves made me feel like I was part of the family and made the day very enjoyable.

This wedding was a first in having a second shooter with me, John Santacroce who I work with wants to learn wedding photography and mentioned he would like to be a second photographer. John has excellent eye for photography and some of his work made the final cut. It is really nice to see the same moment from two different angles and eyes.

To Maegen & Dan thank you so much for choosing me to document your special day and making me feel apart of the family. May you have a long and happy life together.

Beautiful, beautiful! It must be so nice to have a couple to work with that appears so cooperative. I never really had that pleasure. You can see the difference in the images when the couple is "into" the photo part of their wedding day.

Yeah for you. Nice job.

Rob, Beautiful intensely rich images. Unique for sure! Almost a little HDRish ( I mean that in a good way!) They were lucky to ask you to shoot their special day! Jeff Perkins

Thanks Jeff and Linda, Yes they are HDRish and this the reason this couple wanted me to shot their wedding, they saw my HDR and Panoramic work and wanted this pulled into their wedding photos. This was a great wedding knowing that I could push the creative envelope.
