Tyler + Lauren Merrill

Tyler + Lauren
The Red Barn at Outlook Barn - South Berwick, Maine

I had the absolute pleasure of meeting Lauren and Tyler at a wedding a year and a half ago in New Hampshire. My previous bride, Paige, happened to have me sitting next to Lauren at dinner and we got to chatting and, well, she kind of booked me for her upcoming wedding right there! I had a BLAST in New Hampshire with these crazy people and I couldn’t wait to come to Maine for the Merrill wedding to see them all again! Ok, whose wedding is next so I can see everyone again?! :D

Also, in New England, they don't do "private last dances" or even special exits! On our phone call before their wedding, I tried to tell them why it was such a neat experience. As a bride, that was one of my favorite parts of my wedding day. The only time I got to be alone with my husband. We both cried and held each other. It was perfect. And I want to give that moment to other couples. Most don't cry like we did, but this adorable couple did:) They had been together since MIDDLE SCHOOL. They came up to me in tears after their dance and thanked me for suggesting it. That's why I love what I do!

Also, apparently few like to recreate photos :D
