Sue + Sam’s Crane Estate wedding was nothing short of amazing. They are two of the funniest and loving people I have had the pleasure to work with and the people they have surrounded themselves with are just as incredible. And the location! Oh Lord the location! Sue and Sam promised that it was going to be a beautiful place to be married but nothing could prepare me for what we saw. Crane Estate and Crane Beach have great memories here for them and they say it is where it all began for their relationship, as you will see, they are quite lucky to have such a beautiful place to landmark their relationship.
Since they opted for a first look, we had oodles of time together to get lots of portraits of their bubbly selves (even some time to play frisbee on the lawn). We only scouted around 1/25th the land that is on this estate and yet we managed to find amazing photo spots every which way we turned. And these two were down to trek and take photos, you’ll see some of the huge hills we climbed that Sue was more than happy to run up – and when a bride is game for that, you KNOW I’m excited!
With their photos as well as the formal family photos, they were off to a ceremony in front of a small group of family + friends, then immediately after the ceremony we took a couple more pictures and then it was to the party in the barn to celebrate to one of the most amazing bands (honestly, this wedding was like Sarah heaven! I loved everything about it!) whose Latin set list kept the crowd on their feet.
Thank you, Sue + Sam for letting Oscar and I be a small part of your day. Your wedding was incredible and you two are some of the most genuine and loving people I have ever met. Congratulations!
UPDATE: Sue + Sam’s wedding was published in Seacoast Weddings Magazine as a real wedding feature!
