Perhaps I was a bit biased in my adoration for this couple given the groom’s name and their initials A&J, but I had such a blast photographing the wedding for Andrea and James this past weekend in Maine.

While it will take me a month or more to wade through all the images from the day, I pulled some of my immediate favorites for them to enjoy while on honeymoon (and during the waiting period). While I had never met the couple, Andrea is a fellow Eph, so there was a fabulous Williams contingent present for the celebrations and it was fun to connect with some familiar faces.

The wedding was held at a summer camp, so it was a weekend full of capture the flag and bonfires and kayaking and greased watermelon and sleeping in bunk houses. The groom is from Scotland, so a large UK contingent was present, and I adored all the kilts and bag pipes and endearing Scottish accents! They were truly some of the most fun, enthusiastic, light-hearted people that I’ve ever met. And I think that that comes through in the images. Here are a few beloved captures from the day:

^^The bride loves penguins, so her thesis advisor gifted her a penguin floaty for the weekend of fun. Waziyatah is the name of the summer camp.^^
