Olivia & Brian: Married in New England

It just truly astounds me that people whom I’ve never met will pay me to come fly all the way across the country to capture their most special day! What an honor! Olivia & Brian had their reception in Maine, and got married in Boston the next day. I am very grateful they had a first look, and did bride and groom portraits before their wedding. They were so relaxed, and comfortable in front of the camera. I think it’s because they just couldn’t stop loving on each other! They were distracted by love, and it worked in our favor!

We began the day at the bride’s childhood home for getting ready photos.

Brian sees Olivia for the first time in her dress. My favorite! I love when a bride and groom opt to see each other before the wedding. It is just a private, beautiful, emotional moment every time!

Can you imagine having a place this beautiful five minutes from your house!? Talk about a dream! It was also very special because this is where Brian proposed. I love to shoot at locations with meaning to the couple.

Could you die at how adorable her grandparents are? He was probably the sweetest Grandpa I’ve ever met! And the cherry on top of it all, he is who married them!

I’m smitten by her niece’s curls

It literally rained every single day that week, except for their big day! I was so glad we didn’t have to work around a torrential downpour and that we had good weather!

Olivia told me before the wedding “I just want my photos to show how much my family loves each other!” I think we accomplished that mission. They were such loving and supportive families.2013-07-18_0032You gotta love a good titty twist from the best man! (Yes, I just said titty out loud…publicly…what else are they called?)

    Kate, these are absolutely gorgeous. I know it’s so corny but everytime I see your photos they give me chills and bring me to tears. That is how GOOD you are! You just capture all the feelings and emotions of the day and the people, and I don’t even know them! And I’m not just saying that because you’re my sister. You have a gift. I love you and can’t wait to see you!

    Kate – thanks you again for coming and doing such an incredible job! These are amazing. i love the rocks in the background of some of the ones at the lighthouse..among a bazillion other things!! They are all amazing, but those you took at the lighthouse and on the rocky beach are really outstanding.
