Emily and Dustin got married on a beautiful fall day at EverAfter Barn in Norridgewock, Maine. This property is so big they have a shuttle van to drive the wedding party to the back sections for photos!
There were so many touching moments between friends at this wedding, and it’s clear that Dustin and Emily have made impacts in a lot of people’s lives.
A few quick shout outs: Thank you Emily and Dustin for letting us photograph your wedding; thank you to Emily’s bridal party for letting Lucia and I take a million shots of you; and thank you to Dustin’s groom’s men for letting me give you crap all afternoon, and for giving me a hard time right back.
I hope you like the pictures! –Will
EverAfter
How cool is that jewelry case? Emily wore a gorgeous dress from Grayce Bridal in PortlandEmily – upstairs in the ‘getting ready’ barn. EverAfter has two barns for your wedding!Possibly the best group of brides’ women ever!Emily and her womenEver since the movie Bridesmaids came out, every bridal party needs one serious shot. And then this crew smiled and kept Emily laughing all the rest of the day.Here’s another view of the getting ready barn. I love the lights hanging from the wagon wheels!
The Men
DustinGuys never want to show their eyes, but the rule is everyone has to has matching shades – and the did!Before the ceremony, Emily and Dustin got a chance to talk and connect, without actually seeing each other.
The Ceremony
These rose petals were for the guests to throw as the couple exited the ceremony.Dustin and Emily read their vows to each other.The complete wedding party. This bridge is out in back of the property at EverAfter. Did you read in the intro where I said a shuttle van took them out here? It’s true.
The Reception
How much do you love this photo background / champagne holder Emily and Dustin had?The First DanceWedding ToastsParent DancesA party ensuedThis is the must triumphant I’ve ever seen a bouquet catcher. You can’t really tell from this picture – let’s blow that image up!Literally, the most excited anyone has ever been to deny a roomful of single women and one half-shirted guy a chance to have a day-old slightly-used bouquet.I don’t know what’s happening in this very picture, and I was there. I think it’s a man sinking into quicksand but protecting his chair from it at the same time. Dustin’s friends obviously like him a lot, and value good furniture.
End Of Night
Emily and Dustin went back to the first barn for a quiet dance by themselves. Most couples don’t get 20 seconds alone together at their wedding, and having a private dance somewhere is a very romantic way to reconnect.
