Kate + John: Bayside Bowl
July 28, 2019Sometimes in my day-to-day life, I end up in a bright, beautiful space and find myself daydreaming about one day shooting a wedding there. Remembering multiple evenings spent daydreaming high up on the roof deck of Bayside Bowl in Portland, I finally found myself there with Kate, John, their friends and family a few weeks back.
Kate and John are two of the most calm, cool and collected people you will ever meet. You can only imagine how genuinely fun and loving their day was high in the clouds with a taco truck and their two dogs, Martha and Baxter.
On Saturday morning, some of their friends and family geared up to meet them for an early morning work-out. I stopped by to capture and left feeling energized from all of the love that filled that space and ready for the beautiful day ahead.
As Kate spent time getting ready in South Portland, John and his buds headed over to the Bling Pig Barber Shop downtown for some good old r&r. After a simple and sweet first look overlooking the Eastern Prom, they headed to the rooftop to await one of the best moment in their life. The colors, the speeches, the tears, the intimate details….it was perfect. As the ceremony closed, guests drank cocktails, listened to music, ate tacos and made their way to bowl the night away.
Days like these are why I continue to photograph love. Thank you, Kate and John, for simply being you and creating such a spectacular day!
