Our little state of Rhode Island has some stunningly gorgeous places to get married, Whispering Pines is one such place. Maryanne and Dave chose this wooded wonderland to celebrate their marriage surrounded by family and friends. You can’t help but feel happy when you’re at a grown-up campground! The sun was shining as a warm breeze gently kissed the faces of people who just survived one of the worst winters in New England history. As Maryanne was getting ready her ladies were singing and bustling about in their coordinating robes. Maryanne was stunning, having had her make up and hair was done by the lovely Kristen (our former bride!) from Luniac Glamour. The bridesmaids’ tears started flowing as soon as Maryanne stepped into her dress. The love in the room was palpable. Walking down the isle, flanked on either side by her father and step father, her eyes were only on Dave. After a short but sweet ceremony we took some portraits with family and the wedding party before driving into the pines. And let us assure you, they do whisper, we heard them! When the wind blows through the pine trees it almost sounds as if a car is driving down the road but it’s the trees whispering, and on this day they were congratulating Maryanne and Dave. A first dance outside on the deck was followed by a nice sit down meal inside. Succulents and candles adorned the tables adding to the rustic ambience of the space. The night concluded with dancing out on the deck under the full moon. It was an absolutely perfect day for a perfect couple.

Melissa and Brian’s lovely engagement session is proof that although we may bring clients to the same location there is always something new around the corner. Because we were shooting on one of the first warm days of the spring the park was bustling with people. We chose a path less traveled and stumbled upon the most amazing tree (exact location withheld). Melissa’s dress just so happened to match the graffiti perfectly, it’s as if we planned it! We had a great time getting to know this super fun couple. They were total naturals in front of the camera even though they claimed not to be. I mean, look at them! We can’t wait till we meet again this fall for their wedding!

To say it was cold on this early April evening is an understatement! The M’s were wearing hats, gloves, scarves and winter coats, but not Carolyn. She showed up in a time-honored, little black dress which showcased her legs for miles! Jeff was more covered up in his classic black suit but was freezing, non-the-less. Did they show it? No. Did they bring it? YES! We had a blast exploring the downtown area. A footbridge, a sculpture, a half torn down building, the Turks Head Building and The Arcade provided interesting subjects for these lovebirds. We are so thrilled to photograph their wedding (in warmer weather) at the Atlantic Beach Club this autumn!
