2013s BEST WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHS | COASTAL MAINE WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY

2013s Best Wedding Photographs

2013s best wedding photographs

Here are Russell Caron Wedding Photography’s 2013s best wedding photographs, from our subjective opinions. It’s been an amazing year.  As every season of simply fantastic weddings, with all the fun and sweet couples, we ask ourselves how in the world will we be able to do it all again the next year?  Yet, that is just what we do, year after year, season after season.   We said it as we closed out 2012, and equally-terrific couples, venues, ceremonies, families, friends, experiences, photographs, and great times for certain did come along in 2013.  We went through every wedding catalog (so far…there is one more on New Years Eve, which of course will be blogged on its own very shortly thereafter) and asked ourselves to find one best image from each set (we pulled a few extra here and there) that was either a favorite moment or a favorite image.  Let’s just say, this was not an easy task.  Lovers of coastal Maine wedding photography, if we had pulled all of our top favorites we would be presenting nearly 2,000…which is way too many for one blog post, and would in all reality largely be a repeat of the images in this year’s posts.  In no particular order, let’s take a look at the images that made 2013 special for not just our couples and families, but us as well.   They’re in no particular order, and images side by side or above and below don’t relate to each other in any way.  We do like how the following images reveal the breadth and scope of our contemporary approach encompassing a variety of styles including candid journalism, creatively-directed artistry, and classic bridal portraiture.   Later blog posts will showcase our capturing of details and other elements, all of which we capture as we achieve capturing of the images we use to tell, with photographs, the story of the wedding day for you, the bride and groom.   (above: Julia and Patrick at dusk at Short Sands Beach, York, Maine)

(Below) One more image from the Boston wedding of Nora and John.  This one from 16 stories up at the Taj hotel across from the Boston Public Garden and that’s Nora and John down in the Public Garden, free of others due but inconsistent rain that gave us the time to make this photo.boston wedding photographyphotographer maine weddingWe love finding great places in churches (above left) and reception venues and hotels (above right) to create magical images for our clients.photography at popham beach weddings
