Erin & Jake | Abenaqui Country Club Wedding Photography Preview

Jul 18

What better way to kick off your 4th of July weekend then with a wedding!

Erin and her girls got ready at their beautiful family home in Rye and the guys got ready at the offices of Ricci Lumber in Portsmouth. Both locations were personally significant, great for photos, and comfortably air conditioned — key for summer weddings in New England. Especially in July!

For anyone seeking wedding inspiration, take notes! There were so many things that stood out from Erin & Jake’s wedding, including:

Erin did a reveal with her bridesmaids after her mom and sisters helped her into her dress. Coming down the grandstaire case in her home, she was met with quite the reaction by her best of friends waiting for her below!
A tear-jerking Father-Daughter first look
A first look between Erin & Jake at their family’s property on the Portsmouth waterfront - the Memorial Bridge made an excellent backdrop!
A surprise “bonus” choreographed Father-Daughter dance after their formal dance

Oh, and we finished the night by stepping outside to celebrate with champagne spray photos! This is a great choice for an “end of the night” shot that is fun, lends to great photos, and makes great memories for your wedding day.
