Whitehall Inn Camden Maine Wedding Photographer | Michelle + Michael

Last Saturday I had the opportunity to second shoot with Tony Llerena Photography. We drove to Camden, and I immediately realized how lucky I was when I met the bride, Michelle, who was adorably giddy (and rightfully so!). I was also thrilled by their Maine-themed wedding, and instantly adored their escort cards, which were really mini adirondack chairs. Adorable! And don’t get me started about the argyle socks that the groom and groomsmen wore… still my beating heart!

I love second shooting weddings because I have the opportunity to look for creative angles and candid moments to flesh out the first shooter’s point of view. The following are some of my favorites.

I have to give a shout out to Scott Keo, who was the best DJ who I’ve ever seen at a wedding. He skillfully got everyone on the floor and led them in doing Thriller! Although I couldn’t dance while taking photos, I was definitely enjoying watching everyone else have so much fun. He’s definitely a DJ to check out!
