Irish Heritage Center 1920s Wedding | Clare + Brandon

They say there’s a first time for everything! I don’t think I’ve ever seen so many people happy on such a non-stop, heavy rainy day! It poured all day but it did not stop Clare and Brandon’s 1920s themed wedding from being absolutely amazing and full of joy!

The theme of the wedding came about when Clare found her dress online. A vision she didn’t know she had came to life and was flawless on their wedding day this past Sunday. The girls were stunning, the men were so handsome, and Clare and Brandon? Well, they were just SO gorgeous and SO happy to finally be married! 🙂

Clare and Brandon, thank you so much for choosing me to document such a fun and special day for you both! I am so grateful for your positive attitudes and your awesome personalities! Much love… Linda 🙂

Clare’s wedding band actually belonged to her mom. Her dad bought it for her for their fifth anniversary, and her mom was allergic to it. It fit the engagement ring so well, that Clare’s mom gave her the band to use for her own 🙂2015-07-02_00571920s wedding, dimillos restaurant, portland, maine wedding photographer2015-07-02_0059

You can usually find me adding books to my never-ending “to read” list; challenging myself to do things like not shop for a year; sneaking crispy m+ms from my secret hiding spot so I don’t have to share them with my daughter; and melting over seeing my children smiling at each other.

Oh and I guess I should mention - I’m a seasoned Portland wedding photographer who provides not only kick-ass wedding photos, but also a meaningful and laid-back experience from the time you book to the delivery of your final images. 

I share all things personal, business, tips, and life as a mom and business owner here on the blog!

I'm Linda!

hi friend!

i'm a mama of two, a razzleberry peace tea hoarder, and a photographer

let me tell yours

I Love
