Nicole + James August 24, 2019

"Do no harm" + "Always faithful" These were the quotes their Catholic priest gave Nicole, a physician's assistant and James, a marine during their wedding day ceremony. I just loved that! It's like the perfect combination for a lifelong marriage!

A tad tricky. Nicole and James planned their wedding on the east coast while living on the west coast. Fortunately, they had an army of friends and family who were more than willing to help! It was absolutely perfect!

The ladies got ready at their reception venue, The Barn on Walnut Hill in North Yarmouth, ME. What a beautiful venue! And their accommodations were gorgeous!

The guys got ready at a beautiful rental property by the water in Freeport, ME. They left for the church by trolley where they met up with the ladies, family, and friends. 

Nicole wore her mother's wedding veil down the aisle, with her sweet Dad wrapped around her arm.  Grinning from ear to ear, she looked absolutely stunning. James' eyes popped open with a big smile when she walked in!

The ceremony took place at Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Yarmouth, ME. I kept getting swept away by the beautiful music! It was truly the most magical church music I've ever heard. 

Nicole and James exited the church under an arch of swords, held by fellow marines, then we all headed back to the barn to eat, drink, and celebrate!

James and Nicole both got up to speak their words of gratitude for making their wedding day happen and making it so special. Nicole's Dad gave a heartwarming thanks followed by the best man and maid of honor who had us all in stitches! I love hearing some of the hysterical memories that make it to the wedding day speech! And yes, Nicole's brothers also got up to share a few embarrassing memories of their sister mixed in with some sweet words.

I look forward to seeing what your future brings! Thank you so much for having me as your wedding day photographer! 

Cheers!
