You’re in for a treat with this wedding – it features all of the best that the Samoset offers in one gallery! First, Mandy and Ryan and all of their guests came up to Rockport, Maine from New Jersey, so a huge thank you to them for having a Maine wedding!

Here’s a few things to look for: the bridal parties in matching Ralph Lauren bathrobes; more groomsmen than you can have on football field at one time; a red boat that was hired to motor around the harbor so it would be there in pictures; fireworks at the end of the night to surprise the guests; and a choreographed first dance. And you’ll see two people who love each other and their families, have an exceptional, and memorable wedding.

These are my favorites – I hope you enjoy them, and they give you an inkling of what an amazing day this was.

The Bride

There’s a good story here – you should ask if your curious.

The First Glance

Romantics

wedding couple on golf course — This wooden fence is the course’s out-of-bounds marker. I love the path it creates down to the water.

sun parasol at wedding — We always tell our clients to buy umbrellas that match their colors as insurance against the rain. Mandy found the perfect parasol, and was determined to use it, rain or shine:)

Golf course water spray at Samoset wedding — The water spray behind Ryan is a feature on the golf course, and not a typhoon touching down in Maine.

couple on bridge at samoset golf course — You can see this bridge as you drive into the Samoset, but you really need a golf cart to get down to it.

Wedding Party

groomsmen — Between groom, men, ushers, and juniors – 14 guys. There was a LOT of testosterone at this wedding!

Bridesmaids — We tried to space the ladies out so it would seem like there was as many of them – did it work?

Ceremony

wedding aisle and rose petals at Samoset resort — Literally every rose picked last month gave its petals to decorate this aisle. Thankfully it wasn’t windy!

bride walks down aisle with mom — Mandy’s mom walked her down the aisle.

The only thing that dates this wedding is the number of digital cameras. Two years before this and they weren’t popular, and two years later eveyone would be holding a phone.

Cocktails & Dinner

bridesmaid throwing a party — I didn’t ask where she got the booze, or where she was going with it. She seems like a very good bridesmaid to me, really taking her party responsibilities seriously.

wedding rings on flowers — Really lovely wedding rings. Nice to have such pretty florals to shoot them on.

wedding reception in tent — A tented reception at the Samoset is such a good summer wedding option!

table cards and gift bags — Lobster themed gift bags

lobster chowder — The Samoset’s award winning lobster and corn chowder!

samoset at dusk — The rose petals, finally scattered across the ceremony site.

Events

wedding dance — Mandy and Ryan had a choreographed first dance. I’m particularly impressed by the lift in the top right.

Thank you so much for getting to the bottom of the page! I hope you got a really good impression of how amazing this wedding was. We’ll remember it forever, but if we forget, we’ve got really good pictures to remind us:)

Lucia and I are grateful to our second shooters Chet and Amanda who both helped out at this wedding. It was a long and full day, and we couldn’t have covered this event the way we did without them.
