Oh, lovely day! With Marleni & Simeon’s gallery finished and the USB drive on its way to them today, I wanted to take a moment and end the week on a high note and look back at their incredible day a few weeks ago. I first connected with Simeon’s family 2.5 years ago when his brother, Dale, married Emily in Kennnebunkport. Since then, I have been very lucky to meet up with them for family portraits and consider all of them to be my friends. When I drove up to Sunday River for Marleni & Simeon’s wedding, the foliage absolutely took my breath away and I live here! If you could pick a day out of a weather book, it would be their day for sure. Light fluffy white clouds, vibrant blue sky, stunningly beautiful trees… sigh. I could go back to that day right now and be very happy.

As soon as they locked eyes on each other, the stress melted away and the laughter started again. As I saw them together in one space for the first time ever, it was very obvious to me why they make such a perfect match.
