I'm a Maine photographer devoted to the beauty of real, unscripted life.
I am . . . a complete and utter sap for this wedding. I spent 4 days on Monhegan Island capturing Mark and Lauren’s wedding weekend on August, 29th. I absolutely loved this experience. Every ounce of it. It’s very simple. Two wonderful people, in one magnificent place, surrounded by really amazing family and friends. Take a look and enjoy . . .

The photos are terrific. It’s been about a month or so since Lauren and Mark’s wedding and seeing these photos made their whole wedding come alive again. You really captured all the moments. Terrific job.
Hope you are doing well!

[…] Mark and Lauren chose to have a destination wedding on Monhegan Island, Maine the weekend of August 29, 2009. I personally think that was one of the best decisions I’ve ever seen anyone make.

Luckily, Mark and his Mom {who is awesome} had some time to go out there a few times before the big weekend to make sure the venue, the chapel and flowers were all set to go. […]
