Vow Renewal | Jeff & Kellie | Saco Maine| Maine Weddings

Mon, 23 Sep 2024 23:04:48 GMT

THE LAST 10 YEARS

Back in January 2013, on Kellie's birthday, she casually asked Jeff, "Hey, want a cupcake?" Those simple words marked the beginning of their relationship. Their bond grew rapidly, and their support for each other became evident almost immediately. Just a few months after meeting, both Kellie's mother, Roberta, and Jeff's nan, Shirley, passed away within a month of each other. In the summer of 2013, Kellie discovered Jeff's passion for racing. She was asked to manage the 50/50 raffle at Beechridge so Jeff could focus on scoring, which turned out to be a significant part of their summers for many years to come. Kellie will never forget meeting Alton for the first time at Beechridge. He was just five years old and fascinated by keys (a fascination he still holds). At the 50/50 booth, Alton spotted the keys hanging from Kellie's belt, and they held hands and jumped together to make the keys jingle—a truly adorable moment. During a trip to Bristol in August 2013, Jeff proposed, and they set their wedding date for September 20, 2014. Many of you reading this were there to celebrate with us! A lot has happened over the past ten years. We've lost many loved ones and gained new ones.

Kellie & Jeff decided they wanted to renew their vow and in the exact place they were married 10 years ago, their beautiful home in Saco Maine. Their wedding was attended by close family an friends.

Thu, 18 Jul 2024 22:40:11 GMT

We met Aug 2023, when I started working at HI and his aunt set us up as a blind date. Ever since then we knew we belonged together! We love new adventures whether its traveling or just something new we havent done together before, such as games or outdoor activities. We are both Jesus lovers so we love our Sunday’s at church, too.

Hayden asked me to go to dinner to celebrate my new job a few weeks in advance and to go to a place we dress up. He brought me to the beach before dinner and after a little walk he proposed and surprised with a photographer capturing our once in a lifetime moments! It was the best day ever!

Maine Engagement | Kayla & Mike | Portland Maine | Susan Costa Photography

Thu, 07 Mar 2024 00:23:43 GMT

Meet Kayla & Mike.

Mike and Kayla met on Hinge in January of 2020. She was in Bali getting ready to come home and after spending a month with women was ready to have some dates lined up when she got home. Mike thinks it’s silly but she called this man in! Kayla took time off dating. Around October 2019 she wrote down exactly what she wanted. KaylaI still has that piece of paper. Mike genuinely checked everything off. Their first date was at Venas Fizz house. Kayla took a selfie when she got home bc her cheeks hurt from smiling! About a month of dating the world started shutting down. They decided they liked each other enough to quarantine together and absolutely fell in love quickly! Kayla & Mike have been short of obsessed with each other ever since. They have both been through a lot in their young lives which has made them both so grateful and appreciative of what they share. Mike's deal break on Hinge sats “can’t hate cats!”

Kayla knew it was her man because she had three at the time. They spent a lot of time outside during covid times, going on hikes. They both enjoy kayaking in the summer but also enjoy being home. You can find them hanging out with their three cats, watch movies, and cooking. Fun fact: Mike is a cook! They also love spending time with family. They love their family and on occasion they host at their house for birthdays or family dinners.

They are planning on a June 2024 wedding. Congratulations to Mike & Kayla!

Maine Engagement Session| Katie & Colin | Biddeford Maine

Wed, 24 Jan 2024 01:45:39 GMT

On September 28, 2019 Katie and Colin were both at a Chris Young concert at Rock Row in Westbrook. Colin was there celebrating a 21st birthday of a friend of his, and Katie was there with friends.

Colin was ahead of Katie in the beer line and noticed her over his shoulder. He went through his list of pick up lines in his head but couldn't find the courage to make that move.

Later, his friends found her and he had no choice but to talk to her at this point. They didn't listen to any of the concert after that, they took they time to talk and get to know one another.

Two days later they met at Portland Head Light for their first date!

Colin proposed on September 12 at Portland headlight where they had their first date. They are getting married on May 18, 2024 at the York Golf and Tennis Club where they will be surrounded ny family and friends.

Maine Wedding | Nonantum Resort | Sarah & Kevin | Kennebunkport Maine | Susan Costa Photography

Fri, 28 Jul 2023 01:44:44 GMT

Spoiler alert, an Irish man meets his wife in a bar. Everything about him was Irish. His red skin, smiling Irish eyes, even the bar where they first met was on Green Street. Everything about her was Italian. Her nurturing personality, with dark hair and dark eyes. The path to where they met was due to the luck of the Irish and the determination of the Italians. Everything about him was Boston. The way he didn't pronounce his R's. Everything about her was New York. The way she pronounced everything with conviction. But all that didn't matter when they saw each other. Kevin was drawn to her infectious beautiful smile, and Sarah couldn't look away from his captivating blue eyes. Kevin's fortitude led him to walk across the room, take Sarah's face in his hands, and give her a nice, light kiss. Much to Sarah's surprise, it was magical, and their worlds collided. From that night, they were inseparable, and as their soon to be favorite country song says, it was their last first kiss. They soon realized they were very similar. Both being the youngest of 5 children, and loving so many of the same things. Time spent hiking, golfing, going to the beach, and of course, love for all Boston sports teams, particularly the Red Sox! Kevin realized the passion Sarah had for her nieces and nephews and children in her profession, and Sarah realized the passion Kevin had for his children. And they joined this love and passion with Duncan, Ava, and Jackie, who, already the light of Kevin's life, very quickly became entrenched in Sarah's heart. And then Einstein and Rocky became forced friends, soon to be inseparable, and took care of each other in their old age. Similar to the beginning of their relationship happening by chance, having never been away together before, they chose Kennebunkport, Maine and The Nonantum Resort as their first trip together, which ultimately led them to choose The Nonantum to have their closest friends and family to celebrate their life together. Sarah & Kevin were married on July 21, 2023. Congrats to you both and I wish you a wonderful, healthy, & happy life together.

Maine Wedding | Courtney & AJ | River Winds Estate | Saco Maine

Sun, 23 Jul 2023 01:14:39 GMT

Courtney and AJ attended the same high school, where they met and started to join each other’s, friend groups. After planning all day during a busy school day, AJ had the idea to ask Courtney to prom. He had to quite literally chase her down in the parking lot to ask her (she knew he was planning to ask and was hoping he’d just send a text instead). After catching her, she said “yes” … for the first time. They planned for a first date to come later that week. Their first date was accompanied by a few of their friends due to the nerves of a first date. They enjoyed each other’s silliness so much, they spent pretty much every day together after school.

Years later, after both graduating college, making new friends, and living in two separate states from each other, they moved in together in Raymond, Maine. This quickly became their favorite place to be.

Courtney and Aj were married on Saturday, July 15, 2023 at The River Winds Farm & Estates. It was a very warm, sunny, 90 degree day. Courtney had a beautiful lace gown, and AJ wore a grey suit which looked spectacular. They are currently living in Pennsylvania but wanted to be married in Maine were they spent so much time getting to know each other. Their friends and family all came together and enjoyed such a beautiful ceremony. With a special appears from the adorable dog. I wish you both so much love, joy and happiness together.

Maine Wedding | Ben & Claire | Joseph’s By The Sea | Pine Point

Fri, 30 Jun 2023 18:48:08 GMT

Ben & Claire were marry on June 21, 2023 at Joesph's By the Sea in Old Orchard Beach, Maine.
Ben and Claire are the two most sweetest couple ever! Knowing the weather was calling for rain on their wedding day, this did not damper their positive attitude! We were so grateful the rain held off until later in the day, so they were able to have their first look and ceremony at one of their most favorite places, Pine Point. Their day was filled with family and dear friends. Claire had the most beautiful laced gown. Ben had a custom made suit lined with a map of Pine Point! It was quit extraordinary!

Claire and Ben resides in Saco, Maine with the daughter Hazel. Congratulations to this amazing couple and I wish you a wonderful and blessed life together.

Mon, 12 Jun 2023 16:27:24 GMT

Ryan and Meredith were married on Saturday, June 10, 2023 at the beautiful Nonantum Resort in Kennebunkport, Maine. The weather was a little up and down throughout the day, but in the end the sun was shining when it needed to be. The colors of the day were blues, pinks and greens. As you will see, the flowers were just so vibrant and beautiful and complimented the entire day. Meredith's gown was so elegant and made my Vera Wang. Ryan's suit complimented his blue eyes. The entire day was filled with close friends and family! There was so much love surrounding the couple. Who knew two people from Boston, who meet at the Port Hole in Portland, Maine would some day be man and wife. We all wish you both a beautiful life together.

Maine Photographer | Ben & Claire Engagement Session | Pine Point Scarborough

Mon, 27 Mar 2023 23:06:27 GMT

Ben & Claire will marry in June at Joesph's By the Sea in Old Orchard Beach, Maine. I was so happy to be able to meet and get to know them better before their wedding. I was especially excited to meet 7 year old Hazel. We shared so many laughs. The weather was beautiful but very blustery however we made it work. Pine Point is where Ben grew up and so it made it that much more special. I can not wait to see them again in June.

Nonantum Resort Wedding | Anderson & Julia | Kennebunkport Maine | Maine Wedding Photographer

Fri, 30 Sep 2022 23:50:42 GMT

If you have ever been around Julia and Anderson, you can testify they were meant to be. The way they look at each other just gives you goosebumps. Julia's laugh is infectious, and Anderson's GQ looks made it very easy on my end. They were so easy to photograph because they just fit so well together, and I knew their wedding day would be just spectacular. Enjoy a glimpse into their wedding day.

Anderson and Julia met a few years ago via the interwebs, and stayed in touch. They reconnected after Julia slid into Anderson's DMs to chat about a country concert Anderson attended, and then continued based on their mutual love of Australia. Their first date was in the midst of COVID, and with very few restaurants open, they ended up at a local Boston bar where there was no shortage of conversation. Some might say the rest is history. A few months later, after Julia had recently finished the Boston Marathon, the two jet-setted off to Greece where Anderson got down on one knee with the beautiful Santorini as their backdrop.

Julia knew her wedding had to be in Maine. When thinking about where to get married, it was a no-brainer for her. Her family has owned property at Goose Rocks Beach since the 60s, and they have summered there ever since. It was the constant in her life, and the views weren't horrible either :)

It was filled with great stories of how they met and what keeps them together. Look how cute they all looked in their matching jammies!

7L2A7295 copy Julia's wedding gown was right out of an Audrey Hepburn movie: so classic and perfect. Julia really had such a vision for every detail of her wedding. Her bridesmaids were almost in tears when they saw her in her wedding gown for the first time.

In terms of the guys? Well, what can I say? They had rented a house 3 minutes from the wedding venue, and let me say, they sure seemed very relaxed when I arrived. Anderson and his wedding party wore blue suits, and each had a special liner hand-picked by each of the 6 groomsmen. I found them hanging out watching TV with a beer in hand. Anderson also had long-term friendships with each of his groomsmen; especially his two brothers.

The first look with Julia's dad, William, was very sweet.

The first look between the bride and groom really is such an intimate moment. The moment the groom turns around to see his bride for the first time can be very emotional. Anderson was speechless when he saw Julia in her wedding gown. There were a few on-lookers that cheered them on. But on my gosh, don't they both look like they walked out of Real Maine Wedding Magazine?

The Nonantum Resort in Kennebunkport is like no other wedding venue in Maine. They have such a spectacular property with beautiful flowers, dockside views of the ocean, and of course a sailboat. Traditionally, the groom and groomsmen sail off for about an hour to do, well, whatever groomsmen do on a sailboat right before their friend gets married. They return just moments before the ceremony begins.

The ceremony site was just breathtaking, with an arbor of flowers, and a live painter that was painting the bride and groom as they said their vows surrounded by family and friends. Julia's and Anderson's nephews were just precious as their ring bearers. Keep an eye out for their entrances.

Anderson and Julia both love to travel and are currently on their honeymoon in Mauritius! When home in Boston, they both love to try out new local restaurants and explore all that Boston/Hingham has to offer while Julia prepares for her next marathon in NYC.
Congratulations Julia and Anderson!

Thank you, Julia and Anderson, and Congrats to you both!
