A wedding is the start of a new family, a milestone for two families that already exist, and the bringing together of a huge community into one celebration.
That is why weddings matter, and its why, even with the hassle and expense and time and emotion that weddings demand, we still choose to celebrate together.
Robbin and Andy have made a life together in Colorado, but traveled back to Robbin’s childhood home outside Acadia National Park in Maine for their wedding. Much of Andy’s family traveled from Scotland, making sure that the level of formality included “kilted”. There was scotch whisky and blueberry soup (a thing in Maine, and delicious).
And we ended the night with a Scottish ceilidh dance and some of the clearest stars in North America.
Thanks for letting me be a part of your wedding day, it was extraordinary.
This part of Maine has very little light pollution, true dark skies, and perfect summer evenings. 
Robbin and I looked around several park areas, and I literally was like “here, next to the parking lot is perfect” because it was! 
Getting ready in your childhood home 
There is just something so trapped in time about getting ready for your wedding in the house you grew up in.

Having your photo taken so much is a little absurd, and that is perfect 
Perfect lighting 
Definitely protect your eyes 
Andy’s kilt featured his family’s tartan pattern 
Not only do they look great, but they didn’t even balk when I asked them to trudge through the woods to get this shot
