Laina & Galileo’s wedding The Newagen Inn was undoubtedly THE most entertaining place to be last Saturday. Their wedding was a wonderful blend of cultures and style, filled with surprises that revealed the couple’s interests and incredible talents. They had everything from Salsa dancing to the entire Southport Island Fire Department putting out a (minor) fire on the property!

After a week of non stop fog, the coast of Maine needed a little change. What Mother Nature failed to provide, Laina & Galileo delivered in spades. Gorgeous flowers, fantastic colors, one of the most amazing bands… and did I mention the salsa dancing… yes, the salsa dancing was so inspiring that it even made me (the 6’4″ clumsy Norwegian) turn to my wife and say “maybe we should go take some lessons!”

Only a pair of dancers could pull this off so gracefully!
Look to the left of the photo… how many family members are in tears? Very sweet!
Galileo gets the girl!
Laina’s family is from Maine, and Galileo’s family from El Salvador. Their celebration was a true union of souls, of families and of cultures… with bilingual ceremony, program cards and toasts. It was one of the most thoughtful and inclusive celebrations ever.
It’s official!

clarissa - A truly magical mist and mixture of everything good! What a combination and collaboration of your style and their style. Both are of exceptional taste but do not lose the warmth of the individuals involved. Great color contrast with the fog and the bright salsa colors of dresses and flowers.
Thanks for sharing-

Innkeeper Jason - Excellent job Brian and Christine. It’s a pleasure to work with you. You really captured the Wilk and Lopez family. What a wonderful expression of the day. Look forward to seeing you at the Inn again with the absence of fire and fog of course.
Best to you,
Jason Schlosser
Meg - Love the “dipping kiss” shot. I think I’d pull a muscle if I tried that, but they do it so easily and naturally…These are all such wonderful moments for them to be able to look back on!
