A perfect September Day: Emma + Brendan's Wedding in Rangely, Maine at Loon Lodge
There are days when everything aligns perfectly, and Emma and Brendan’s wedding in Rangely, Maine, was one of those days. Set against the picturesque backdrop of a calm lake, the day was a celebration of family, friends, and the kind of love that feels genuine and effortless.
As someone who went to high school with Emma, it was especially meaningful to witness her big day. From those early high school years to now, seeing her so happy, surrounded by the people she loves, was truly something special. The fact that I got to capture these moments for her and Brendan made the experience all the more memorable.
The weather couldn’t have been better—a quintessential September day with clear skies and that crisp autumn air that makes everything feel a little fresher. The ceremony took place right by the lake, and you could feel the calmness in the air. It was clear this was a day built on more than just tradition—it was about celebrating a partnership, a commitment to one another, and the people who have supported them along the way. The peaceful setting, with the lake in the distance, created an atmosphere that felt grounded and simple, but also unforgettable.
After the ceremony, the reception followed in a nearby tent where everyone relaxed and enjoyed great food, drinks, and company.
The evening continued in a laid-back way, with guests chatting, laughing, and dancing as the sun set behind the trees, casting a soft glow over the celebration. It was the kind of gathering that reminded you how powerful and joyful it can be to spend time with those closest to you.
Being there to photograph Emma and Brendan’s wedding was an absolute pleasure. From the easygoing vibe of the day to the genuine smiles on everyone’s faces, it was a wedding that felt real and rooted in what matters most: love, family, and good company.
