How I let my blog neglect get so bad is beyond me. I wanted to make sure I got my next post in before June was officially over, so here goes! Here is the first of many posts (I think I have 4 more weddings and 1 engagement in the blogging queue as of today)!

Jenna and Scott were married on the first day of May at Wentworth by the Sea in New Hampshire. It was my first wedding where we did a formal “First Look,” where the couple decided to set aside some time to see each other before the ceremony. The beautiful thing about the First Look is that it really is just about getting to spend some quiet time together, just the two of you, before the day starts to feel like a blur. It really was a sweet moment for me to witness, especially after seeing Scott look so nervous as he waited for Jenna to arrive! And speaking of sweet, the personal vows they wrote to each other were incredibly moving. I could hear the whole room (including myself) sniffling and stifling sobs! If I remember correctly, there was even a collective deep breath as everyone contained themselves once the vows were done so that the officiant could continue with the rest of the ceremony. :)

Jenna and Scott also decided to do a lot of their bridal portraits prior to the ceremony. I rarely put any formal portraits up on the blog, mainly because they usually feel like they are exactly that–formal–and I don’t consider that my style; in this case, though, we did a lot of relaxed portraits so I thought I’d share a few.

Hope you enjoy!

Jenna and Scott, thanks again for letting me capture your day for you!
