Savannah & Alex: Boothbay Harbor, Maine Wedding

We had the pleasure of documenting Savannah and Alex's destination wedding at the Linekin Bay Resort in Boothbay Harbor last month. Savannah and Alex live in Washington, DC and chose the Boothbay Harbor area as this is where Savannah came to visit her Godparents each summer as she grew up. Alex also proposed to Savannah at the end of the dock at her Godparent's waterfront cottage, which Savannah told me is her "favorite place in the world".

And the Beautiful Bouquet

Alex had sent a love letter, which brought Savannah to tears as she read it before their 'First Look'

After their 'First Look' they had a few minutes together before the ceremony

Then it was off to the ceremony. Savannah being shielded from the guest's view en-route

The intimate waterfront setting was spectacular. What a beautiful day for a wedding along the Maine coast!

I REALLY like Savannah's reaction to being announced, "Mr. and Mrs." by her Godmother :)

A great kiss to seal the deal!

Savannah loves to sail, so immediately after the ceremony we jumped in a dingy and went out to do some pictures on this sailboat while their guests enjoyed cocktail hour. It was quite the little adventure as the wind was quite 'gusty' to say the least, and if you spend time on the water you know that wind = chop! I loved this idea/plan so much! It's sooooo wonderful when my couples have fun ideas of what they want, and are adventurous enough to make it a reality :)

We made it safely back to shore and had a few minutes of 'Alone Time' before dinner service

Then it was time for dinner service. Savannah really wanted to to get back outside during the 'Golden Hour' if at all possible. As soon as dinner was completed, we raced back outside just in time to catch the last of the day's golden light

And then it was gone. I love the light in this one right at dusk

Savannah and Alex then rejoined their families and friends for a night of celebration. I will end with a few of the Newlyweds enjoying their first dance together

Thank you so much Savannah and Alex, for allowing us the pleasure of being a part of your most special day! It was a beautiful day filled with beautiful people. You and your families made us feel right at home. We wish you all the best!
