Jenna & Matt’s York Maine Wedding at the York Golf & Tennis Club

Jenna and Matt's York, Maine wedding at the York Golf & Tennis Club was our first wedding in October, and I couldn't contain how excited I was to photograph such a stunning wedding in my favorite month. Fall tones are my favorite!

If you don't know, Joel and I are huge fans of Salem, Massachusetts. We go multiple times throughout the year, and it has become one of our happy places. We love Salem even more because it brought Jenna and Matt into our lives. During their search for a wedding photographer, Jenna saw a shoutout to our favorite cidery (Far From the Tree in Salem) on our site, and we instantly connected. We met up with Jenna at Notch Brewing to grab a beer while we were in Salem for our anniversary, and Jenna recommended we swing by Goodnight Fatty for some of the best cookies ever. It's a spot you could miss if you didn't know about it, and now we go every time we're in Salem. It's just one of the many reasons we love Matt and Jenna. Enough about cookies, though!

Matt and Jenna met back in 2013 at the Belmont Stakes. Jenna swung by to say hello to friends at the Breeders' Cup, and Matt was filming a reality show about horse racing. A mutual friend introduced them, and they found they had grown up just three miles away from each other. How wild is that!? Of course, Joel and I binge-watched the show after learning this.

One of my favorite touches during their wedding day was when Jenna's cousin played "Call to the Post" on her trumpet to start the ceremony. It was the perfect nod to how they met! Their relationship brought them to New York and Salem, but Maine was where they chose to tie the knot. Jenna's family has a home in Maine and has visited York for years, so it was a no-brainer.

Jenna and Matt, we cannot wait for the next beer or round of cookies when we come to Salem! Here are some of our favorite photos from the day!
