I met with Stepha­nie & Mike last spring, they were already so exci­ted about their wed­ding plans. We met (on the col­dest day ever) in Novem­ber for their enga­ge­ment pho­tos and had a great time so I was very much loo­king for­ward to their wed­ding. I had no idea how much I was going to love every last second of it!

I sho­wed up just as Stepha­nie was get­ting into her dress. Her mother was already dres­sed — and did I ever cover that AMAZING dress!

Steph’s flo­wer girl was textbook!

As was Stepha­nie — abso­lu­tely breathtaking.

The moment it sets in — Steph is watching out the win­dow as all her guests arrive and take their seats.

Lovely!

I LOVE how these two were in step — all the way down to the end!

Steph & her Dad reach the end where Mike is glo­wing and ready for her.

The set­ting, the peo­ple, the spring time, the weather — everything was inten­sely perfect!

From the other angle — still perfection!

Fabu­lous­ness.

A great loo­king bri­dal party!

The sce­nery and grounds at The Dock­side in York, ME are just amazing!

Candy bars are all the rage these days — Stepha­nie & Mike scat­te­red words of hap­pi­ness around theirs — it was a great touch.

I’ve seriously run out of adjec­ti­ves to desc­ribe how ena­mo­red I was with this wedding.

And how ena­mo­red I am with these two! Their joy was abun­dant and contagious!

I love her parents loo­king on — their whole first dance was ama­zingly emotional.

More Details

Stephanie’s dad pop­ped the cham­pagne — the cork went nearly to the cei­ling! You can see it in the top middle right of this shot.

Caught with their hand in the candy jar!

Their wed­ding was the same day as the Ken­tucky derby. The guests kept snea­king into the bar to see what was going down.

Even more emo­tio­nal was when Mike’s sis­ter stood in for their mother who pas­sed away. That’s their father next to Steph in the back­ground. The whole room was in tears, myself included.

too cute for words! (glad I had a camera to desc­ribe it instead!)

My night ended with a full on Para­dise by the Dash­board light throw down. I SO love my job!

Stepha­nie & Mike, thank you so, so much for let­ting me wit­ness your spec­ta­cu­lar affair. You and your guests went above and beyond in your con­cern for me in my full on bronchitis-​ness! I wish you all the hap­pi­nes­ses that life can bring.

Hello Melissa! Thank you for the pic­tu­res. they are beau­ti­ful! I’ve orde­red the DVD! ~Steph
