Something people will always worry about for their wedding day is the weather.  It’s the one thing you have no control over.  Margeau and Ryan’s wedding day was the perfect example of the old New England saying “If you don’t like the weather wait a minute”.  While we were covering the getting ready fun at Gurney’s in Newport it was pouring rain outside.  There was no sign of it stopping.  When Margeau arrived for the ceremony she ran into the church with the help of lots of people with umbrellas.  Even after the ceremony when we were supposed to be starting the photos the rain was holding strong.  Then it stopped!  It just stopped!  We were able to do photos outside and inside of Trinity Church in Newport.  More importantly the cocktail hour at Belle Mer was outside as planned.  We were able to get all the photos every couple wants!  Yesterday we were telling a prospective client that we are good luck when it comes to weather.  In reality it isn’t luck.  We can just guarantee that you will have beautiful photos rain or shine…  But shine is always preferred.

Alison and Steven are a busy duo!  We weren’t able to meet them in person before their wedding at The Bohlin but we felt like we knew them thanks to Instagram!  Leading up to the wedding there was a lot of commenting back and forth on stories and posts.  Keeping in touch with clients is one of our favorite parts of social media!  Shooting Alison and Steven’s wedding brought us a couple of firsts.  We had never been to the Attwater for getting ready photos!  This hotel is so amazing!  The decor gave us so many options to photograph the beautiful details Alison had!  It was also our first time shooting at The Bohlin!  We are in love with this venue!  It is right on the water by the Newport Yachting Center.  Does it get more beautiful than that?  Did I mention that there is a Sperry Tent involved?  Fun fact – This wedding caught the eye of Classic Bride and was featured on Valentine’s Day this year!  Check it out here!

There is no place in RI that says summer to me like Newport.  Shooting weddings has made me realize that us Rhode Islanders take it for granted sometimes.  Like Mike and Yineth a lot of our clients come to Newport for their destination wedding.  Their guests are always in awe of this town!  It doesn’t hurt that they are spending part of their visit in unreal locations like Belle Mer!  What a treat!  The staff there really know how to throw a top notch party which was perfect for Mike and Yineth.  These two celebrated their marriage in style!  Yineth wore a Carolina Herrera dress and veil for her wedding day.  It was absolutely stunning!  You have to love a lady that starts the day off in Louboutin’s and changes into a second pair of designer heels.  They also hired RI’s best vendors.  Stoneblossom outdid themselves for this one.  All the orchids!  It was gorgeous!  Yineth’s orchid bouquet was a modern twist on the classic cascading bouquet.  One of our faves, Victor Events, was there to keep the dancing going all night!  This wedding was actually the last one we shot in a triple wedding weekend.  The people, decor, and overall fun of this day really gave us life!  When you do what you love it’s never work!
