The Newagen Seaside Inn Wedding of Lauren and Chris

Lauren and Chris originally wanted their wedding at a summer camp, but realized their families wanted to stay at a location that was a little more comfortable, so the pair eventually decided on a weekend of celebration at the Newagen Seaside Inn in Southport, Maine (right near Boothbay Harbor). Festivities began with a lobster bake rehearsal, complete with several touching toasts and a bonfire. On the wedding day, Lauren prepared in the Seahorse Cottage, a lovely, airy spot overlooking the ocean, and it was a perfect spot to relax with friends and family and prepare for her big day. Lauren and Chris opted for a first look so they could complete most of their photos prior to the ceremony, and the weather helped make their photos more vibrant, providing big blue skies that went on for miles. After their touching ceremony, in which they had shared their own personal vows, their wedding ramped up. I thought the beautiful toasts by family were excellent, but the epic dance floor was what brought this wedding into incredible territory. Lauren and Chris’ friends (along with Sirois Sound Productions DJing skills) put all of their energy into making their reception one that would be impossible to forget, and even included a heated dance-off between Lauren and Chris’ respective schools. Afterwards, those still ready to party headed over to the Pine Room where grilled cheese sandwiches, bowling, pool, and other games awaited.

Here are a few of my favorite photos from their wedding day. Thanks for including me, Lauren and Chris!
