Jess & Erik’s Smolak Farms Wedding!

Jess & Erik’s Smolak Farms wedding was basically the definition of fun — a ceremony in the sunshine, s’mores, and so much dancing! If you remember their Allagash Brewing Company engagement session, it should come as no surprise that these two are incredibly down-to-earth people who love a good time.

Jess found me because a friend of hers attended the Plumbing Museum wedding I photographed back in 2013! As Jess put it: “Once I checked out your photos, I immediately loved your ability to capture the special/fun/un-posed moments that make me wish I was at that wedding!” — maybe I should put “ability to capture the special/fun/un-posed moments” on my business card! 😉 She told me that her and Erik “love beer, busting a move, and pizza” so I pretty much knew we’d get along from the first e-mail! Their wedding day was so relaxed and filled with family, great food, and games. It was truly awesome. 🙂
