Congratulations to Katy and Christian on their wedding on August 8th at the gorgeous Historic New England property Hamilton House in South Berwick, Maine! With a mutual love of history, literature, and philosophy, not to mention an appreciation of beautiful gardens, Hamilton House could not have been a more perfect choice. Katy described her vision as a “Colonial Fairy Tale,” and with a gorgeous color theme of shimmering golds, sweet florals in pinks and blues, and whimsical wedding cakes, I’d say the day was a smashing success. It was truly an honor to photograph such a beautiful garden wedding at such an incredible historic property.

After the ceremony, the guests all enjoyed beautiful drinks and appetizers in the lush Colonial Revival-style gardens. The weather was absolutely perfect to enjoy the perennial gardens, loaded with blooming gems of August: phlox, daylilies, coneflower, tiger lilies, and more.
