Mr & Mrs McClain in Maine.
I keep getting caught in this loop of editing previews from one shoot quickly then going back to the other shoots I need to edit and deliver. So I am currently back and forth between photos from the sunset on the Oregon Coast to this sunrise on the water in Virginia in Downtown Alexandria.
Yesterday didn’t go as planned. I didn’t plan on falling in love with the Oregon coast as much as I did. I didn’t plan on fog. I didn’t plan on these two being so stellar, but they were. I didn’t plan on crying while look through these photos, but I did.
my newest sister, number 7. I am so happy my brother found such an incredible woman.
Getting ready and getting married in a family home will always be my favorite. The window light, all the meaningful details on the walls and shelves. It reminds me of my grandma’s house (one of my muses for my photography). Here is my brother in his new wife’s family summer home. It had the exact same loved feeling as our grandma’s house. He was looking out this window at all his guests and his ceremony spot. Behind the wall behind me, Jesse was doing the same.
For the past week, our family of 17 nieces and nephews, 7 siblings, 7 spouses, 2 parents, wonderful cousins and friends and NEW family all gathered on an island off of Maine with no cell service, no internet, no AC, no cars - just bikes and memories of childhood. My brother married an incredible woman who just became my 7th sister. I was honored to stand up there with them and cry my eyes out as they exchanged vows with a ridiculously stunning view. @madeiracreative and I tried our best to capture the way this week and wedding day felt, and I can’t wait to bring you back to childhood and what summers used to be and what their love is.
