Ciara and Lukas' wedding day was held in the historic Hotel Northampton. The couple, each with their unique sense of style, made a special request for their wedding portraits to feature the iconic elements of the hotel. They were drawn to the art deco lobby elevator doors and the charmingly old-fashioned phone booths that are the signature of this iconic venue.

 

They met several years ago, in their younger days, working at the same restaurant. Lukas later proposed to Ciara in Acadia National Park, romantically enough, on a beach in the rain.

 

The couple's choice of venue added an extra layer to their story. The Hotel Northampton, with its rich history and distinctive features, served as the perfect backdrop for their wedding. Both the classic and art deco touches weren't just aesthetic elements. They were an integral part of their wedding narrative, adding charm and character to their pictures.

 

Before the ceremony, they decided to have their first look in the hotel's foyer. It was a magical moment. The space was drenched in beautiful, diffused natural light that poured in through the tall windows and bounced off the ceiling, which was reminiscent of a greenhouse. The couple's anticipation and joy filled the room, and I was able to capture their first sight of each other on their wedding day, a moment filled with emotion and love.

 

Ciara and Lukas' wedding was a testament to the fact that a wedding doesn't have to be over-scheduled or posed to be beautiful. Instead, it's about celebrating love in its most authentic form and capturing those moments that truly matter. Their wedding was a perfect blend of tradition and individuality, and I am honored to have been part of their special day.

 

As I look back at Ciara and Lukas' wedding, I am reminded of why I chose to become a wedding photographer. It's about more than just taking pictures; it's about telling a story, capturing emotions, and creating memories that will last a lifetime. And I believe that is exactly what we achieved at their wedding at the Hotel Northampton.
