Roger Williams Park Rhode Island Wedding: Kate and Stephen

If you have ever met me, you will know that I’m a big fan of color, glitter, sparkle, and rainbows. That’s how you will know that Kate and Stephen’s wedding was right up my street. You guys…. it was FUNtastic.

They had their wedding in a big park with lots of locations around it as the backdrops for their day. First, they had their first look in a carousel. Yup. And then the family and wedding party portraits were set in a huge gorgeous marble temple. Then we went waterside for their ceremony, complete with confetti. Lastly, the reception was in an old casino where a drag-queen ready us all a book before the dancing began. Are you with me? This was a fun-fest.

We adored being a part of their day because it was just so so happy. Everyone seemed to be over the moon about these two getting married, and quite frankly, so were we.

Bar Harbor Wedding: Jo and Carl

Some weddings stick with you and Jo and Carl’s Bar Harbor wedding is one of them! It was just such a beautiful pairing between rustic Maine nature and glamorous vibes. We actually started the day with a hike up to the top of North Bubble in Acadia. There Jo and Carl had their first look. It was a dream come true for Carl so it had to be done just that way. I’m so glad we did.

After the EPIC first look, we went to a few other places along the Park Loop Rd for more photos, then headed back to the Bar Harbor Club for the wedding. Their vows were both so thoughtfully written. It helped me see into their relationship a little more. They got me stoked for their marriage almost as much as their friends and family I betcha!

The reception was beautifully designed and set the scene for touching toasts, sweet first dances, and a rocking party. Jo even changed into a red party dress to pay homage to her Chinese heritage and maybe even being a little good luck… not like they need it though.

Sunday River Wedding: Colleen and Chris

…and so it begins… our 2019 wedding season!

Colleen and Chris are so chill yall. So so chill and easy going. I felt instantly at ease when we arrived. Colleen even said to me that she didn’t care about any of the details… just the people. Our assignment for the day was just to photograph all the people that she and Chris love and not worry about any of the other “stuff” of the day. I have to admit it was a refreshing feeling. These two were just so happy to be getting married. Since it was May the fourth, there was a lot of Star Wars references, like homemade Star Wars blasters and lightsabers, which were quite impressive. Couples who nerd together, stay together. <3 Enjoy wedding #1 of our 2019 season!

Exeter NH Wedding: Reynolds and Bryant

Wanna talk about a wild planning process? Well look no further than this couple. Reynolds and Bryant contacted us with a lovely plan in place to have their wedding at a NH Brewery. With everything booked and in place, the Brewery closed! They reached out to us with a new plan, a nearby Farm and Apple Orchard. Booked with the same date, everything was all set again. THEN… things had to change again, and the booked the country club ballroom that Reynolds sister had her wedding in. I literally cannot imagine the stress these two went through with that roller coaster of planning adventures. They had their hearts focused on the right thing though… each other.

The wedding day was seamless. You would never think all that went down in the planning process. The weather was absolutely ideal. The whole thing went off without a hitch. They were wrapped up in love with each other and everyone else was adoring of them. What more could you ask for on a wedding day really?

Also, take note of Reynolds dress. It was worn by many women in her family for generations. How cool is that??

Boston MA Wedding: Rachel and Shep

Our first wedding of the year!!! What a fun way to start our 2018 Wedding season you guys!

Rachel and Adam got married on an unseasonably hot day in April. Boston was just warming up and everyone was out and about enjoying the weather, including all of us for their wedding! We got to photograph the couple, the wedding party, the family formals, and the ceremony, all outside in the sweet sweet sunshine. The Liberty Hotel was a super cool setting for the day, located in the heart of the Boston goodness. We have always wanted to photograph here and Rachel and Adam delivered!

Thier ceremony was so cute, filled with the kindest sentiments and adorable quotes and secret glances. I was so happy to see them get married, as was everyone else there. After the ceremony, we headed inside for the cocktail hour and then it was reception time. They did a well-practiced first dance, with a dramatic dip at the end. Who doesn’t love that? Of course, there was the Hora, which always terrifies me but I love it.
