Clam bake!

If you love seafood, the an elegant clam bake is the perfect solution- and so much fun.

The ceremony and reception took place at the ever elegant Blithwold Mansion in Bristol RI. The day was absolutely perfect, no rain, but a perfect cloud cover. The cloud cover is not usually something I love, but Blithwold is facing west, normally making the front of the Mansion just to sun bleached to photograph up close. Not on this day! We took complete advantage! The images are perfect!

The high style of the whole day was perfectly complimented by bibs, lobster, and cocktails galore. It was a party. So much fun and reflective of the couple's outlook on life.

Thanks K and D!

What an amazing night! No rain!

It was a stressful week with the rain, rain, rain in the forecast. Weddings in the rain are still just as beautiful, but we had big ideas and great expectations for this intimate, elegant wedding. The guest list was small, the details were hand made by friends and family, the dress was silk and the views were hand picked. So, rain really would have been a tough thing to work around!

All I can say is thank you to whatever it is that made this night. I can't wait to share the pictures with the couple!

Thanks K and A.

Practice makes perfect!

Engagement sessions. They are great to for many reasons! To get comforatable in front of the camera, to have fun, and great for save the dates! Most importantly...practice makes perfect... so this couple practiced practiced practiced and we captured great shots!

A pub for a cocktail hour!

Creativity and originality are two things I run into at practically every wedding. They are the ingredients that allow being a wedding photographer to be fun and artistic. They also give me a little glimpse into who you are, what is important to you, or simply what colors and style you love.

That being said, It is not often I run into a themed cocktail hour. This gorgeous wedding had an Irish pub as the theme. Napkins, titles, Irish dancing, Irish band, and of course, Guinness. It really gave the guests an atmosphere to kick back and relax in.

The couple was calm, kind, classy and as beautiful on the inside as they were on the outside. It was the absolute perfect way to kick off a very busy wedding season.

Thanks L and J!
