“Since I had worked as a newspaper journalist in Maine for 25 years, I knew Carl Walsh's work - and knew he was a talented photographer adept at getting beautiful, candid portraits in a short amount of time. But since David and I only had an hour for our outdoor wedding before our dinner reservation, I was not expecting Carl to deliver so many incredible images. Chiefly because Carl faced other challenges. To start, we got married at the outset of Covid-19 in a very small ceremony in which we had to social distance from my 84-year-old mother-in-law, who was fighting lung cancer. Add to that the fact Barbara hated having her photo taken. And then there was the gusting coastal wind that kept blowing my hair in my face. But in Carl’s photos, you don’t see any of that - just dozens of tack-sharp images of beautiful moments filled with tenderness and laughter. He turned our special day into art. And he did so seamlessly, quietly, confidently, and with a kind, happy spirit that added to the day's magic.”
