Seacoast Science Center Wedding

Emily and Tyler

Emily and Tyler were married on September 10, 2016 at the Seacoast Science Center in Rye, NH in Odiorne State Park. They are a well-traveled and adventurous couple, who have no problem packing up and moving to the other side of the country. After spending some time in Denver, they took the opportunity to explore many of the country’s national parks, and when it came time to plan their wedding they knew they wanted to incorporate their adventures into their decor. Wanting to share what they’d been up to for 3 years, they designed all of their tables around different national parks. Perched on the rocky coast of the Seacoast Science Center, with the rolling ocean just steps away, it was a nod to travel, adventure, and natural beauty. Emily was particularly concerned with having a more hands-off approach with regard to her wedding photography. She loved that I was known for capuring amazing photos while remaining almost invisible in the background. My unobtrusive, unnoticeable coverage is a hallmark of my work.

the ceremony

I absolutely loved Emily and Tyler’s ceremony. At the ocean’s edge, New Hampshire’s iconic rocky coast met a wide blue sky with sweeping vistas. The weather was perfect, and officiant Mary Howe’s ceremony included a blessing with burning sage, and a Native American wedding vase ceremony.

the reception

Cocktail hour by the ocean could not have been more beautiful, with guests milling around sipping cocktails and enjoying gorgeous appetizers from Chill Catering. Tyler had made a cornhole game, and a giant Jenga tower which was built up and knocked down repeatedly. It was a beautiful evening of friends and family celebrating Emily and Tyler, with toasts, dancing, and great food.
