Sarah and Craig’s Fort Williams Wedding

Sarah and Craig’s Fort Williams Wedding

We met Sarah and Craig last November when Sarah’s sister Emily was married, and we were delighted when they called us this year to say they were engaged.

They had a beautiful wedding on a day that was forecasted to be anything but that. In this summer of storms, their Saturday had lightning marks all day long. Oh, and it was an outdoor wedding and a tented reception. Sarah’s parents Michael and Marie must have made a special donation to the diocese to get this miracle pulled off.

Getting ready was at the AC Hotel in Portland; first look was at Bug Light in SoPo; the ceremony was at Fort Williams in Cape Elizabeth; and the tented reception was at Sarah’s parent’s new home in North Yarmouth.

This is the first time I've had a bride pull up to the first look in a Limo!  Kudos to the drivers from Maine Limo, who went offroad several times to deliver the bride and her family so they wouldn't have to walk excessively in the heat.

The view during the ceremony – I don’t think you’re being photo-bombed when a schooner tries to get in your pictures. I think that’s just lucky timing.
