Our Weekend Adventures | Beth's Farm Stand | Blue Hill Fair

>> Monday, September 6, 2010 – personal

We hope that everyone has enjoyed the long WONDERFUL weekend!

Three and a half days off from the day job has been great!

To celebrate, we took some day trips to some great places, and places we have not been for a while.

Friday afternoon we took a trip down to Union to Beth's Farm Stand. They have AMAZING produce!!

We always leave there with BAGS full.

And I have to tell you the corn.

OMG

Like OMG - so good!!

Everything is seasonal, and grown locally.

I love the bright colors!

It was these pumpkins that inspired me to take out the camers.

So, we had a break from the day trips on Satirday with a wonderful wedding at the Wentworth.

Then Sunday it was BACK TO BACK fair days.

I love the Blue Hill Fair

Bright colors. Fair Food.

YUM!

I have an obsession with the ferris wheel...but have never ridden on one.

Probably never will!

Again, the bright colors always get me.

Brandi has a different appreciation of the fairs.

Honestly, before I met Brandi, I had never been to a fair.

Brandi use to hit ALL the fairs, showing cows.

Ryan - never got close to cows.

Brandi has no problems mucking stalls, caring for animals, taking them for a little walk around the fair.

Ryan - gets cow sneeze on him everytime he gets close to one.

Brandi is all about the fair.

Ryan is learning more and more about fair life, and loving it.

Case in point - I ate lunch not 12 inches from a cows butt today.

And I love the look of horses.

But - I am allergic.

And still sneezing.

It was SOOOOO worth it though.

It was so nice to spend some time with family at the fair. See friends that we only see once a year.

Eat so much fair food only elastic waist pants fit anymore.

Until next year!

Keep coming back to the blog this week - we have A LOT to catch up on!!

First Look: Wedding | A Ceremony by the Sea | Peter & Sandi | Belfast, Maine

>> Sunday, September 5, 2010 – first look, weddings

Hurricane Schmurricane

I have to tell you, all of us were praying that the weather was going to cooperate.

And boy did it ever.

With the threat of Hurricane Earl hitting the Maine coast Friday night into Saturday night, there was a little uncertainty on where this wedding was taking place.

Well, we always knew it was taking place at the fantastic Wentworth Event Center in Beautiful Belfast, but we didn't know if it was going to be held outside ---- or inside.

And the sun came out around 11 here in Bucksport, and everything was dry and beautiful for the wedding of Peter & Sandi, and we were all so happy to share in their day!!

Love the genuine smiles on these two!!

So much more to come!

I couldn't end this blog without sharing a shot of the wonderful Wentworth for our good friend Kristine.

Brandi and I are off with my mother today for the BLUE HILL FAIR!!!

We never miss it, and this year the weather is PERFECT for the fair.

Can't wait!

Also can't wait to share our annual fair blog with everyone!!

There is a lot to come on the blog this week - keep coming back and leave those comments!!

Wedding | Marbin & Whitney | Orrington Maine | Dad's Church

>> Saturday, September 4, 2010 – weddings

Again, I know, I am a lot behind in the blogging.

BUT the weather has cooled off, there is a beautiful breeze today - LET THE BLOGGING COMMENCE!

Whitney & Marbin - bring on the ceremony!

The limo pulled up to the back door of the church, upstairs Marbin waited for his bride.

Upstairs in the church were Whitney's father is the pastor.

This is going to be a great ceremony!

We start lighting the candles.

The moms and the unity candle!

Here she comes!

Whitney's mom watches her come down the isle.

Yes! A tear!

I love emotional weddings.

He sees her for the first time.

So, you remember I said this was her father's church.

It is.

But how does he walk her down the isle and perform the ceremony?

Does he perform the ceremony?

Maybe?

YUP!

Changed right on the alter.

Presto Change-o - Dad marries them!

I love this series of Marbin.

Perfect in Black and White.

Yes, that's a tear on her cheek!

More candles.

And we are Husband & Wife!

And off to the RECEPTION!

Wedding | Marbin & Whitney | Orrington Maine | The Details

>> Wednesday, September 1, 2010 – weddings

I had every intention of beginning this great wedding yesterday.

But, if you follow us on facebook you will know I declared yesterday it was too hot to blog!

Yes. For Real.

In Maine.

We are having a heat wave - not a tropical one either!

Anyway enough about that. Onto the details!

I love it when we make it to the reception early enough to catch the place cards. I am loving the softness of them!

Which goes very well with the bright colors in the flowers.

Ahhhh flowers on the piano. We have been very fortunate to have two weddings back to that have had a piano to play with. But alas.... I don't play the piano - BUT it makes a fancy photo!

I have been trying to catch the groom (or the groomsmen) at some point in the evening to capture the tie shot. I have always wanted to just have a collection of tie shots. Much like this one.

It could be because I have quite the tie collection myself.... maybe a little obsessed, but yah know!
