Andrea & Chris are friends of one of my wonderful 2008 wedding couples, Alisha & Mike. When Andrea first contacted me back in January she told me I was "highly recommended" by Alisha and that she had seen all of their wedding pictures. This of course gave me the warm fuzzies and we were off to a great start! :) Referrals work both ways to me. I adore all of my incredible wedding clients, so when one of their friends contact me to document their wedding event I know right away that 1) They must also be a wonderful couple and 2) That I will connect with them and their wedding event will be a pleasure to be a part of! With this theory I am batting 1.000.
Andrea & Chris live in New Hampshire but planned to get married in the Brunswick area, her home town. We met in Augusta this spring on one of their trips up to work on their arrangements and I was instantly 'at home' with them. Now the hard part...waiting until October to see them again and shoot their wedding. Once I meet with my couples I am ready to shoot their wedding the next weekend, I get so excited!
October finally arrived!
Andrea and the ladies got ready at Andrea's parents house and here are a few of the Bride's details...
I didn't shoot the guys getting ready so it was nice that the rings were with the bridal party
A little mimosa toast to get the day started is always in order :)
I was pleasantly surprised when Alisha arrived to do Andrea's makeup! I assumed I would see her at the wedding but this gave us a chance to talk and catch up a little. Always great to see my past brides :)
The dress
Moments after putting her dress on. Gorgeous!
All of Andrea's bridal party signed the bottom of her shoes :)
The very touching and beautiful ceremony, which was filled with laughter and tears, was held at the South Freeport Church
I REALLY like this moment
You know I love a close-up of the hands during the ceremony
Roses for the moms
The Kiss
Mr. & Mrs.
As you know, I LOVE when my couples make sure to schedule time for us to get away and shoot some 'Alone Time' images! Either before or after the ceremony, or both. It is THE BEST thing you can do when planning your time-line for the day. Andrea and Chris did just that so right after the ceremony we headed to the water and got some great portraits. It was COLD at this point in the day and the wind was picking up but they hung in there and did an AMAZING job!
I told them as we were shooting that their pictures were looking like shots for Bridal/Wedding Magazines. I'm not sure if they believed me at the moment, they should now :)
Yeah, Chris was diggin' it ;)
The whole gang
Then it was into the warm vehicles and off to the Brunswick Golf Club for a rocking night of celebrating (yes Chris, top 5 ;-) )
First Dance
Mmmmmmm, cake! (love the Autumn colors)
This makes me laugh. Looks like Andrea is expecting cake in her face but hoping not! Chris was a gentleman :)
Yet another GREAT wedding weekend! Thank you Andrea & Chris for the pleasure to be a part of it all! The day was wonderful. The weather cooperated and was spectacular, your ceremony was beautiful, you rocked your 'Alone Time" portraits, your celebration was a blast, very fun families and friends!! Couldn't have a more perfect wedding. Congratulations and all the best to you!

Brent is the best wedding/ photo journalist photographer in Maine if not New England in my opinion. I saw how well he shot my wife's friend Alicia's wedding and knew we had found the guy for our big day.
If you want the same old posed pictures with no emotion of meaning go for another phtographer, but if you want someone to capture the sould and essence of your event hire Brent. He doesn't just shoot your event he gets a feel for each couple's personality and gives them memories that will last a lifetime. Very professional every step of the way from making time to photograph the rehearsal to getting the shots we wanted and even some he felt were classic candids.
Thank you so much Brent! I'm sure Andrea will be pleased with these. I know she is the most beautiful bride I've ever seen and I'm proud to have her and your pictures forever.

Hey Chris! Thanks so much for your kind words. I truly, truly appreciate them and you taking the time to share them. This is why I love what I do...to give you timeless images of your wedding event so you can remember it like it was yesterday, for the rest of your lives.
