Ashley & Josh's Wedding Weekend in Camden, ME

I first met Ashley last year. She was planning a quaint wedding at a CT B&B and she hired me as her day-of coordinator. Living in Seattle, she really wanted someone local to help with finalizing all of the details as the big day got closer. Somewhere along the way, plans fell through with her venue and she planned to have her wedding at the Whitehall Inn in Camden, ME. She frantically emailed me asking if I would be willing to travel for her wedding. I jumped at the opportunity to work my first "destination wedding" and I'm so glad I did! When I first agreed, I wasn't pregnant, but in February I found out I was expecting baby #2. Still willing to travel, my plans just changed a bit. My husband was my assistant instead of one of the girls that usually helps me out. We turned this trip into a mini babymoon, leaving our 2 year old son to spend one night each with both grandmothers. We had such a great time!

After 5 hours of driving, we stopped at the Sea Basket for lunch. Not a bad find, but if we drove a little further up there were many more places to eat that looked like they might have been a bit better.

This was the first time I had been to Camden, ME so when we arrived I wanted to check out the ceremony site prior to the rehearsal. This is Camden Hills State Park. A beautiful place for a wedding!

I was lucky enough to have the cutest assistant this weekend :) He's the best!!!

After conducting the rehearsal, we had the night to ourselves to enjoy. We had a great dinner at the Waterfront overlooking the harbor.

When we returned to our room, I had one more duty to perform. I offered to put together the centerpieces for the seemingly overwhelmed bride.

Baby's breath and hydrangea!

The day of the wedding, I was able to setup at the inn prior to going to the park to setup. Here are the pretty place cards.

And the sweetheart table...

Thanks to a very helpful hubby, we had the chairs set up in the morning. It was a HOT day and I was happy that he did this for me.

The gorgeous ceremony...

And a boat decided to drive by in the middle of it...

The happily married couple...

And they were off to take pictures at Mt. Battie...

This wedding was so much fun and we were happy to be included. Congratulations again to Ashley and Josh!!
