Our first kiss was on the beach, under a star-filled sky, on my favorite island, only home to shells, bioluminescent creatures, and wild horses. Soon after, as two very young humans (21 and 23), we were married. As newlyweds we set off on an adventure, kayaking from Maine to Key West. On that trip, we realized how much we valued spending all our time together and being in charge of our schedule. This business is how we live out that dream.

I’m Michelle, a Portland, Maine based wedding and couples photographer. I grew up in a small town in Connecticut, spent my college years and 20s in Boston, moved to New York City with my husband and now have found my way back to New England. I worked for eight years in event planning before going full-time with my photography business. I’m grateful for those eight years because they taught me so much that I’ve carried into managing my own small business. Beyond photography, I am an avid reader, love long bike rides, prefer the Monday crosswords, enjoy woodsy day hikes, and am always finding the nearest bookstore when we travel.

Some of my favorite things include espresso tonics, thunderstorms, and bookstores. As a photographer, I live for the fleeting moments of light and stories. I do my best to capture those moments with my cameras, and I find great joy in doing so.

Hello! My name is Alice Grindling. I started out studying theatre in NYC and fell in love... with being on the OTHER side of the camera. I am a cinematographer with a passion for documentary filmmaking. I love the energy of a wedding day, the ready made environment for magic to be nurtured and captured. I am passionate about all of the details that were painstakingly planned, the magical moments that pop up that maybe, no one else can see.

One of my favorite parts about this job is watching confidence grow right before the lens. When couples go from, “we’re going to be hard to photograph, we’re so awkward.” to “ no way! That’s us?” my heart could explode every time! Because what is on my camera is exactly what I see in you. It isn’t “you’re so talented!” or “that’s an amazing camera!” no, no. It’s simply you with the one you feel most comfortable with and who fills your heart and soul as no one or thing can. That my friend is genuine love in its most simplistic and powerful form. And it’s what I capture best. :)

I started my life in a small, 'down-home-cookin'' restaurant owned by my Mother. The restaurant business is in my blood. I purchased my truck in April 2014, a 1996 Chevy Utilimaster. It took 5 months of my own blood, sweat & tears to build it as the Muthah Truckah. I opened the window in October 2014 & have just kept on truckin' ever since! I love to cook. I love food. I love talking to people. I especially love to cook food that people ultimately love. Taking a moment, a comfort, a flavor, a memory & turning it into a delicious bite that'll make you smile. That is what I love. ​​ Have a Sparkling day! Cheers, Erica
