8.20.11 rangely maine, heidi & louie

heidi and louie were married in rangely maine on maine street. it was a perfect maine location for the meeting of french and american family and friends. the day was sunny and clear. there were lawn games during the cocktail hour, families, children, baby ducks, and lots of french and english mingled with laughter.

i love getting to know my couples and these two were no exception. i had met heidi and her mom before the big day and loved them. but i didn't get to meet louie until the wedding day. he was so charming and funny that i can see why all day he was always surrounded by people. i didn't see him alone for a moment. (:

i look forward to seeing them on the trips to visit the states since they are now back home in canada. may you have many years of happiness and laughter together heidi and louie! cheers.

i know evy's parents because i took their wedding photos. i know her extended family well because i just had the privilege of being the wedding photographer for her aunt and uncle as well. i feel so lucky to get to stay a part of the lives of the families i get to know as they grow.

and, of course, meeting the sweet wee ones is such fun! (:











i love love this photo

the blue elephant catering & events

when you are planning your wedding it is a challenge to find vendors one at a time. of course, you want to make sure you have the best of everything. you want to know that you are getting a quality product or service. you also want to know that you are going to get the best people who are reliable and honest.

to this end there were a few vendors who got together and formed a vendor group. it is a group of vendors that was formed by invitation only by people that had worked with each other and knew each other well. that way when we recommend someone to a bride and groom we know that it is not just a "referral", but an actual "recommendation" of a personal friend, of someone we know and trust.

this group can be researched further on the maine wedding buzz blog page. you can see all the current members and get their contact information there.

but one at a time i am going to be highlighting the vendors here. this was you can meet them through me.

i love the folks at blue elephant catering. they are thoughtful and thorough and fausto has an unabashed obsession for some tv soap (i have never seen) that he is always bringing up and that cracks me up. i love that they are always laughing at something and ready to have fun, but are completely professional at an event, and make great, beautiful food. i think that was a really long badly written sentence. my poor (writer) husband would be pained i am sure. (:

so here is a video introducing who they are, done by soft shell productions, nora mccormack. she will be highlighted soon.
