Happy One Month Anniversary to Lauren & Dave who were married in Portland, Maine! We started off at the chic Mercury Inn for preparation photos and then after the first look with Dave, headed to Two Lights State Park where the mist and clouds rolled in and out, the water and the sky at once blue then gray, just the way we like Maine to be. The ceremony was held by the water outside the Portland Company, while inside this amazing venue were crumbling paint, bistro lights, flowering branches, wood beams and moody light, laughter and good cheer. Here is Lauren and Dave’s wedding story below!
