Here it is. The night before Cairsten & James tie the knot and get hitched! I instinctively thought back to their engagement session at Bug Light in South Portland, Maine, just shy of a year ago. I'll be honest. We started off with some good laughs just finding each other despite having met before! (Bug Light, just so you know, is not the one by the Southern Maine Community College Campus.) Then I finally got to meet their two exuberant dogs and, well, there was more laughter. Wrangling those two is certainly a workout!

At the end of our session, we wrapped up with a gorgeous sunset silhouetting Portland's Old Port. My fingers are crossed that Mother Nature blesses us with a sunset equal to or better than that one tomorrow during their coastal wedding!

Cairsten & James, we can't wait to celebrate with you tomorrow! And a special thank you to Kelly & Ryan, the matchmakers who led them to me. I'm so excited to see you two again!
