I had the pleasure to begin my wedding season with this fun loving, go with the flow couple on Saturday April 26th. They were married at the Universalist Unitarian Church on Pleasant Street in Brunswick.
We stopped by the water to take a few photos before the celebration continued with a fun and elegant reception at the Captain Daniel Stone Inn. Here are a few of my favorites from the day.
Congratulations Courtney and Kevin!

WPJA (Wedding Photojournalist Association)
I was recently honored to be accepted as a member to this elite international group of photographers. Only 5% of all wedding photographers are chosen to be a member of WPJA so it is quite an honor.
You can not just pay for membership as with so many other professional organizations...you must apply, have your work critiqued, meet all of the high standards and qualifications of the organization, and be accepted.
Its quite a process and one I admit I was a little scared of, since there are many who do not get in. I personally know some great photographers who have applied more than once to finally get in, some have applied and never been accepted. I finally decided to take the plunge for the first time this winter and was waiting on pins and needles for the several weeks it takes to receive their answer.
Words can't tell you how elated I was when the email arrived saying yes indeed I had what they want with my very first application. Thank you to all of my wedding clients, past and present who have known all along... :)
