Case & Natasha's Perfect Fall Wedding at Live Well Farm

I have a mental list of venues that, when I see them on in inquiry, instantly make me excited for the wedding. Some of them are there because I’ve worked there and love it so much. And others, such as Live Well Farm, are on that list because I’ve been wanting to work there for as long as I could remember. When Natasha & Case reached out to me about their upcoming nuptials at Live Well Farm, I was jumping for joy at the opportunity to capture a wedding on the property. From the garden ceremony to the gorgeous tented dinner to dancing in their immaculately restored barn, the entire estate is so inspiring to me! When Alan and I arrived for their wedding day, we were taken aback. It was even better than we could have envisioned! The gorgeous blue bird skies dotted with white puffy clouds. The little details that Natasha and their loved ones had planned out for the day, such as the fun personalized champagne flutes. The rose gold BRIDE balloons in the living room of the farmhouse. The handmade backdrop behind their cake and cupcakes in the barn. The signage around the property guiding their guests through the festivities. It. Was. Incredible.

And then there were all the emotions of the day. For Natasha & Case, it was the start of the next chapter of their life together, but their story began way back in middle school. Finally seeing all those years come to to their wedding day was overwhelming for everyone. My eyes were not the only ones that became a bit misty on several occasions. I dare say there were a few amongst us as Natasha & Case had their first look at Pott's Point Landing & Town Wharf in Harpswell, Maine. All the feels for sure.

Dearest Natasha & Case… thank you. Thank you for choosing us to capture the day for you. Thank you for trusting us when we asked you do to seemingly silly things in our quest for awesome images. Standing together in the barn with everyone watching while Alan photographed you from the shadows outside. Huddling under the candlelit apple tree late at night with an audience of your loved ones straining their eyes to see what we were doing. It all paid off and we captured some of my all time favorite images together with you. We hope you love reliving your day through the photos we captured just as much as we do. ♡
