Maine Archives - Deb Lindsey Photography

I know that not everyone would consider it a great final day of family vacation to shoot a wedding. But for Camille and Adam’s day it was exactly where I wanted to be. I was able to use their wedding as an excuse to travel Maine for a week before the wedding and it was so great to be away with my husband and kids exploring new territory—and eating as much lobster as we could. And I must admit, I have a soft spot for Posties (Washington Post employees) getting married. I’m sure it has something to do with the fact that I met and married my wonderful husband while we both worked at the Post. Camille is the high school sports editor for the paper and Adam is the beat reporter for the Washington Nationals. It was a treat for me to see so many familiar faces at the wedding—the sports staff was well represented with current and former employees. The wedding and reception took place along the water at an adorable guesthouse in York, Maine near Adam’s hometown. One of the highlights of the day for me was the ceremony conducted by Post reporter Eli Saslow. A good friend to both the bride and groom, he did an amazing job recounting the couple’s courtship—it was funny and touching and so revealing of their personalities. And I got to coach him to step out of the way for the kiss—I wish I could do that with every officiant I photograph. The party turned out to be a rocking shindig, particularly for a day wedding where people tend to not dance as much. And in a first for me (you know how much I like to document the firsts I see at a wedding!), the bride, groom and groom’s twin brother went up in chairs. Did I mention that this was not a Jewish wedding?
