Jill & Joe

Jill and Joe were married last October in a totally gorgeous Fall ceremony at Castle Hill  in Newport, RI. Crazy in love, these two were so much fun! Young, hip, silly, totally comfortable in front of the camera, having the time of their lives and yup... IN LOVE. You could practically feel it radiating from them in all directions which was a joy to photograph.

If you are familiar with my work, then you probably know I went nuts over Jill's shoes. I held back in this post but I'm pretty sure there are at least 20 more images of her shoes alone... I just can't help it. It's those fun personal touches that make everything come together as the bride's own and I love to see that little pop of color under the gown.

Channeling vintage Hollywood. Breathtaking!

 I just love these rich Fall colors...

No Fall wedding in Newport would be complete without a crisp, saturated sunset over Narragansett Bay. We were not disappointed...

Both architects, Jill and Joe have an incredible eye for detail and transformed their tent into a beautiful and bountiful country harvest setting.

 S'mores station = awesome!

Cheers! And all the very, very best to Jill and Joe!

If you are planning a wedding at Castle Hill, please be sure to ask for amazing and sweet multitask-queen-of-the-Universe, Ms. Rebecca White.

Engaged! Alexis & Chris

Scheduling portraits, I love it when my couples ask hesitantly if it "might" be ok that for just a few shots we could "possibly" have the dog? I have to laugh at this because I am always totally up for it and wouldn't have it any other way. Look at awesome little Frankie here! He's like this fun little speed bump overflowing with personality. That face! I was so glad he was with us -- not only to provide the laughs (which he truly did) but also, to Alexis and Chris, he's family. There's no reason on Earth why he, too, shouldn't be part of this important occasion... 

(...and while I haven't heard any word about it just yet, I'm really hoping he can make it to their big day!)

 Congratulations to Alexis, Chris and Frankie!

April & William

New Yorkers (and of course, Yankees fans!) April and William were married at the Glen Manor House in Portsmouth, RI this past September. I absolutely love Glen Manor - mostly because of it's unassuming location and how it's tucked away from everything around it - but also because while it's a giant sprawling mansion, there is a very quaint and comfortable at-home feeling there.

April and Will decided to see one another before the ceremony which gave us a long time for photographs (yesss!) and allowed everyone to be relaxed and at ease...

 I just love this bouquet. So rich in color and texture...

 

 

Beautiful!

 

 

 

 

Another reason to love Glen Manor! The sitting rooms are absolutely gorgeous. 

An amazing confection creation of the letter "R" for Radmin! Incredible! 

  

Cheers to April and Will! All the very best to you!

Lily & Brad

Lily and Brad were married at Regatta Place on Goat Island in Newport RI. Although it was a drizzly summer day and the clouds were heavy, Lily's ten thousand megawatt smile overrode any chances of being bummed out. Her gorgeous bright yellow lily bouquet was a true refection of her attitude and personality; cheerful, bright and beautiful. I love these colors - and I love these guys!

 

Like a Vogue spread! Channeling vintage Hollywood...

 

 

And you can't help but love Brad! Easy going and genuine and kind...

I've known Brad since we were teenagers. If you ever told me back then I'd be photographing the future weddings of my friends, I never would have believed it. Another reason why I absolutely love my job.

 Congratulations Lily and Brad! You two are the best!
