One of my absolute favorite people in this tiny little town in the St. John Valley ventured into my Madawaska, Maine photography studio earlier this week.

Gift them with a certificate that entitles them to the photographs of their choice. Simply choose

Let’s be honest, having a stranger follow you around all day with a camera can be a little unnerving. Most people, generally, feel awkward in front of a camera.

Melanie and Theron brought their friends & families together at Madawaska Gospel Church in Madawaska, Me on September 14, 2013. They were driven by Flat Mountain Horse Ranch’s carriage and two of their finest draft horses to Four Seasons Ski Lodge. This is a Real Maine wedding and I am pleased to have been a part of it. Congratulations you two! All wedding decor by Tina Boucher of Interior Accents.
