At last!!! Some pictures from Alison and Gary’s awesome day up in Maine!!! Thanks for your patience….here we go!
Alison and Gary had amazing weather for their ceremony and reception at the Nonantum Resort in Kennebunkport, Maine. Here they are before everything got going….
Alison with the two dresses she will wear later at the reception, one is her mother’s, one is her aunt’s.
Her mom made her earrings…
I loved her veil – it was her mother’s.
In my continuing series of guest star photographers, the seriously awesome Joyelle West was shooting with me. While I was with the girls getting ready, she was with the groomsmen on a sailboat ride before the ceremony. Looks like fun, but also a little scary!
As the ceremony started, some guests on the third floor called down and asked if we wanted to shoot from their balcony. Joyelle raced up there in record time. The couple said someone did the same thing for them at their wedding!
Did I mention it was a little windy?
Could not resist this little face all night!!
OK, so even when they are smushing a little cake in each other’s faces, they are STILL adorable!
Dress #2!
The gorgeous cake, and the favors – custom wine bottles!
Alison giving Gary a reverse dip in Dress #3!
A few of the groomsmen participating in this year’s new favorite sing-a-long song – Don’t Stop Believing.
We had such a great time!!! Hope you had a fantastic honeymoon in Hawaii on the way back to sunny CA….can’t wait to show you the rest!

What spectacular wedding photos!
Refreshingly beautiful – playful – romanatic – unexpected and perfect as a reflection of this fantastic couple – a gorgeous day and the love that filled the air. LOVE the windblown veil!!! Brilliant! Nancy
The pictures are beautiful! What a memorable night!
By the way, (for your vendor list) the flowers were done by Floral Designs by Cheryl L. Brayton (617) 893-2259, who is indeed a friend of the family, but also an independent floral designer.
Can’t wait to see the rest of the pictures!
A wonderful pictorial memory of that very special day in June, 2009.
My best wishes to the entire wedding “family”.
The pictures are lovely as was the entire weekend. My favorite is Alison holding her pearls – pure joy and happiness on that “little face”!
