We met Rebecca and Jonathan on Goat Island in Newport for their summertime engagement session. Jonathan loves boats so it was the perfect setting for us to get to know each other and make some pretty images. Their wedding was coming up pretty quickly and it was very clear how excited they were! After exploring the docks by Regatta Place we headed over to The Hyatt where you get the most breathtaking view of the Newport Bridge. Plus, we had the added bonus of shooting by the lighthouse. If that’s not Rhode Island enough for ya, we then went to the beach for some of that sandy goodness. Stay tuned for their gorgeous Linden Place wedding!

Stacy and Adam had the type of wedding that makes you want a do-over if you’ve already had your wedding. It was THAT beautiful! It helped that she had a maid of honor extraordinaire, who happens to be her sister, former roommate to both she and Adam, and her best friend. Kayla made sure every detail was perfect so that Stacy’s vision could come to light. Her custom made, Elen Paumere gown was nothing short of perfection. Sparkly, silver Jimmy Choo peep toe heels gave our petite bride just the height she needed – plus every woman needs a little sparkle! There were beautiful and touching moments throughout the entire day starting when Stacy’s mom gifted her the pin she had worn for years as a remembrance of her late grandmother. The DonFrancesco women are incredibly close and loving and you can’t help but wish you were part of their family when you are with them. Accompanied by her mother and father, Stacy walked down the aisle to the awe of the guests and her soon-to-be husband. A touching Catholic ceremony was followed by lots of photo time all around Newport. From Ochre Court, to Forty Steps, the beach, and lastly the Atlantic Beach Club. The ballroom was stunning with tables adorned in florals designed by Weedweavers of Wakefield and gorgeous sunlight shining in from the west. Passionate speeches were followed by a lovely dinner and then dancing. Oh the dancing! The dance floor was immediately packed as Cover to Cover Band began to play. It was a perfect day to start a beautiful life together!

Beautiful Bristol, RI was the setting for Jacquee and Matt’s romantic wedding day and Linden Place was the perfect venue for their lock and key themed celebration. Vintage Valentino heels, the family bible, an engraved rose gold time piece, door knob table numbers, blush & cream florals; all this and more made for an exquisite day! As Jacquee descended the winding staircase in her Ve’Lace gown hearts stopped. She was a vision of beauty and happiness! With the help of makeup by Aline Sarkis Beauty and hair by Jaclynn Kate we had ourselves a gorgeous bride. The bride and groom’s niece walked down the isle carrying a balloon with a key, followed by the ladies and Jacquee with her father. During the ceremony the couple locked their love and sent the balloon up into the sky with the key so it may never be unlocked. What a beautiful idea! We then moved indoors and had some portrait time in the manor which is one of many reasons why we LOVE Linden Place. Surrounded by history, art, and antiques the newlyweds enjoyed some alone time before heading over to the carriage house. Guests were treated to a lovely meal by Blackstone Caterers at tables decorated with vessels of flowers and Sam Adams as a favor. We think the gift of beer is a pretty awesome idea. Family and friends celebrated the happy couple on the packed dance floor as the evening went on. It was a most perfect day!
