Gina & Nate's Springtime Wedding in Portsmouth, NH

Gina & Nathan were married on May 30th, 2026 in Portsmouth, NH. Their original plans changed due to inclement weather, but they kept a positive outlook, and their wedding day was beautiful from start to finish.

On the morning of their wedding, Gina and Nate prepared for the day at the Sheraton Portsmouth Harborside Hotel. Once everybody was ready, they captured family photos in one of the hotel’s event rooms.

Their original plan was for their wedding ceremony to be held at Prescott Park. However, it was pouring rain, very windy, trees were down, and wind chill temperatures fell to an unseasonably cold 27 degrees. Umbrella in hand, Gina and Nate braved these conditions for a quick photo session at their intended ceremony spot. Stormy skies and heavy rain made for some dramatic portraits!

The Library Restaurant was beautifully decorated for Gina and Nate’s wedding day. In this warm and cozy room, in the presence of family and friends, Gina and Nate publicly declared their love for one another and became husband and wife. Congratulations!

Cocktail hour followed, and guests enjoyed appetizers and drinks while congratulating the newlyweds. The photo booth was busy!

Gina and Nate received a warm welcome as they entered their reception for a first dance, followed by dances with their parents.

After a delicious meal served by The Library, the newlyweds cut their wedding cake, which featured all of their pets!

As their reception came to a close, the rain stopped, giving them a chance to get outdoor portraits in front of the restaurant.

Shout-out to everyone who worked together to make this day happen - to Gina and Nate for their flexibility and positivity, to Bridget of Heirloom events for perfectly creating a backup plan, to The Library Restaurant for hosting the ceremony to keep guests out of the cold rain, and to Sheraton Portsmouth Harborside Hotel for allowing the use of their function room for family photos. Thank you all!

Congratulations Gina and Nate!

Thank you Gina and Nate!

It was a pleasure to capture your day!
