Hi,

My fiance and I are from Boston and have recently decided to get married in Portland on 8/14/2011.  Yay! 

Now that the venue is booked, I want to find a fabulous photographer.

Who are you using???

    I am using Michelle McDougal - www.michellemcdougal.com

    She's based in Bath, which is about 30 minutes north of Portland.  Two of her children have been my students, which is how I know about her.  She's really nice and incredibly talented.

    I am using Birch Blaze Studios out of Porstmouth, NH.  I looooooooove their work!  They are a husband and wife team and are some of the sweetest people I have met.  Another girl from the Maine board booked them off my suggestion, and I know she was really happy too.  Check out their blog to see examples of their work.  http://birchblazephotography.com/

    I'm using Classic Photography, they are out of Boston but serve all of New England. My photographer is Josh, and we met him and his wife just before Thanksgiving for our engagement pictures, they came out beautifully. The packages are really good too.

    On a side note, you are getting married on my birthday!

    I am using Simply Mella Photography.  She is located in NH but willing to travel.  She will be shooting my wedding in Boothbay Harbor(an hour past Portland) in July 2011.  You can't beat her prices and her pictures are to die for!

    Curious as to where you are getting married in Portland.  We are trying to find a venue and are from Boston too.  It will be great to compare vendors once we get going!

    Lindylou,

    We're getting married at Grace.  It's a former church turned restaurant. 

    Let me know if you want more info.  We looked all over Portland over Thanksgiving weekend.

    I'm using Russell Caron Photography.  He did the photography for a friends wedding and I LOVED it!  He came to the rehearsal and rehearsal dinner and got shots their too.  I highly reccomend him!  He's out of Falmouth.

    <div>Be aware that with Jennifer Lamoreau, while her packages say "all" the photos taken on the wedding day are yours, in actuality, it's whichever photos she feels are best.  </div>
