Rain won't stop the wedding! Emily and Jeff were brave enough to play outside in the rain for their photos.

Emily & Jeff’s River Winds Wedding

Emily and Jeff got married on a torrential fall day in Maine, at the beautiful River Winds Farm and Estate Wedding Venue in Saco. They had planned to have a ceremony in front of the pond, and then a leisurely afternoon enjoying the foliage. They didnโ€™t get it. They werenโ€™t that put out.

This was their second wedding, of course. Their first wedding was last year, when Covid protocols stopped them from having any family or friends attend their marriage. It sounds like they had a memorable ceremony – we all saw it re-enacted, and it was meaningful!

Here are some great things to look for in this gallery: the ceremony, performed by his mother and her father; the farm-to-table caterers; the rocking good band out of Boston; and our night portraits outside in the rain with the barn and the estate behind them. I hope you like the images.

That Bouquet! Jeff’s boutonniere is great too – perfect fall flower choices.

We did family portraits in the living room at the Estate, and then did large groups in a tent on the back porch.

These guys (Shovel to Spoon) grow all their own vegetables, use only locally sourced meats, and then cook everything from scratch at the venue.  Amazing!

Shovel to Spoon served a family-style dinner. See the cast-iron pan on the table? Braised local beef!

The Party

The band, Silver Arrow out of Boston, kept the party on the dance floor all night!
