{Emily&TJ | Wedding at York Harbor Inn | KiKi…

My first wedding in Maine really set the bar for any others. It was an absolutely gorgeous, brisk day on the seaside. They had transformed the ballroom into a soft, twinkle lit reception. Created a beautiful arch looking over the ocean and essentially took over this small town in Maine and made it this sweet family gathering.
I had met Emily years ago when I was looking for a roommate. She was always a super sweet and bubbly person to be around. And meeting her amazing family for the first time, only affirmed where she got her lovely personality from. Tj and her had been together for almost 4 years, so it was no surprise they were getting married. But seeing them on their wedding day, literally non stop gazing at each other, smiles ear to ear, and so many laughs, really put into perspective how perfect they were for each other. The exciting is that this Sunday will be their one year anniversary and a few days ago they had their first baby.  So I thought it only fitting their blog post should go up! I hope you enjoy!

Bahama Wedding

{Elizabeth & David’s Wedding in The Abacos | KiKi…

With a Hurricane warning flashing on the TV screen in Florida as I type this, I’ve decided to post a wedding that encompasses the exact opposite of the weather outside. Sun, Blue Skies, and a gorgeous beach. Elizabeth and David’s sunny Abacos Wedding was filled with tons of amazing surprises and moments. Including an underwater session, an emotional Chinese tea ceremony right before the traditional Chinese wedding games, two tiny doggie escorts, an absolutely stunning sunset, and to top it off, a private firework show on their own beach they grew up on.
It was a stunning way to get married and I feel so happy to be able to capture all of these loving moments. Check out this fun and colorful wedding below.

{Hannah + CJ Wedding at Waterford Castle | KiKi…

Try to imagine a lot of eyeshadow, safety pins, several torn pieces of fabric and one eager 15 year old. No, I am not describing this wedding, I am describing my first photo shoot. Which happened to be of this lovely Bride, Hannah. We were great friends in high school and along with a few other girls who participated, we successfully designed, shot, and edited our own photos from my very first photo shoot.

Fast forward 13 years and we are in Ireland photographing her wedding. Wow. From the beginning of my career in the backyard of my parents house with a single lens camera, to photographing a grand wedding in another country. What a difference. I knew when the phone rang that spring evening over a year ago. That night Hannah called, I knew she was asking me to Ireland to photograph her wedding. I was elated and so overwhelmingly thankful that she thought of me.

Beyond the fact that they were a great couple to work with, they were so incredibly happy it was impossible to make a bad photo of them. They are absolutely perfect for each other. She calls him “Angel” and he may smirk a bit but he loves it. They were even more delightful to photograph. We must have walked a mile up to a tree I was adamant about photographing in front of. With the help of Jameson, Chardonnay, and their 10 year old cousin photographing beside me we made it in one piece and my first Irish Wedding was one of the most perfect weddings I have been to.

I can’t thank Hannah & Cj, as well as their welcoming family and friends for the best time and the best company that March Day in Waterford. Let me know when we can do it again sometime…I’ll bring the Camper Van and the droid! Enjoy!
