Hardy Farm Wedding | Rachael & Jesse!

This Hardy Farm wedding with Rachael and Jesse was one of those days that just leaves you feeling invigorated and full of inspiration! I loved these two as soon as Rachael got in touch with me, and even more so when we met for their engagement session. They are two of the most genuinely kind people I’ve ever met, they’re hilarious, they’re down-to-earth, easy to laugh, and they are the kind of people who make you feel included in their love — you’re not a third wheel, you’re feeling lucky that you get to witness something so awesome. 🙂 They met at Bentley University and caught each others’ attention at a literary society meeting when they realized they’re both super obsessed with Harry Potter. They got engaged on their first night at their first apartment together in Boston, and they knew immediately that they wanted to get married in Maine — Jesse grew up in North Yarmouth and they had spent many weekends there with his family. Hardy Farm was a perfect choice, both for its beauty and its spacious grounds! They had an amazing outdoor ceremony in the woods (so lush and green!) with some nods to Rachael’s Filipina heritage and a very nerdy and awesome reception with lots of beer, amazing food, and SO MANY nerdtastic references in their table names, hidden LEGO figurines, and many, many Harry Potter details. Love!
