Combine a beautiful, RISD grad bride with a ruggedly handsome, football player groom and you have wedding day magic. We cannot say enough great things about Kate and Tyler. We had a sneak peek of the wedding day awesomeness during their styled engagement session at Blithewold Mansion and Gardens. Kate created and painted a monogram of their first initials, made buntings, brought a quilt and pillows and even a vintage bicycle-for the engagement session! Fast forward to a stunningly gorgeous day at Linden Place in Bristol, RI. It was as if this venue was made for Kate’s wedding. The room in which she got ready is decorated in the colors of her wedding; whites, creams, ivory and shades of green. Special ladies were gifted handmade, monogrammed hankies as Kate got into her beautiful gown, complete with pockets! Meanwhile, downstairs Tyler was shuffling curious family members out of the main house so he could get into place for the first look. Tucked away in the atrium the bride and groom saw each other for the first time on their wedding day. It was a beautiful private moment. But the peacefulness wouldn’t last for long because in came the family! Grandparents, children, siblings, and friends. This couple is beloved! Photo opportunities were everywhere. Who can resist the spinning flower girl?! A perfectly sunny ceremony produced tears and smiles alike. Cocktail hour on the lawn was a feast for the senses. Vintage vessels for flower arrangements, cool little jars for drinks, passed hors d’euvres and music cued everyone in that the party was starting.  Inside the carriage house were Kate’s handmade buntings screen printed with the couple’s monogram. Animal themed vases from Anthropologie showcased the breathtaking florals by Weedweavers of Wakefield. Vintage teacups became scented candle holders (made by Kate) and adorned all of the tables along with favors in muslin pouches also with the couple’s monogram (yup, Kate again). Suzanne from Moondance Productions had everyone up and dancing and celebrating this wonderful couple well into the night. We adored every bit of this wedding and we especially love Kate and Tyler!

It’s always really sweet when we get to have children join in on an engagement session.  We loved seeing the interaction between Rachel and Joe and the girls. They really made our time at Roger Williams Park in Providence that much more fun. We met on a perfect evening and walked and talked and took lots of pictures. The girls even did an impromptu playground-hand-slapping-singing-dancing routine (pretty sure that’s what you call it) which made for some super fun images. We had such a nice evening with a very nice, new family!

We can’t think of a better wedding venue for two people who love the ocean than Theater By the Sea in Wakefield, RI. Lisa and Steve are a surfing couple who clean up real nice! Lisa was absolutely stunning in her Maggie Sottero gown and Steve was handsome and polished with a laid back vibe. In fact, the entire day had a laid back vibe. We started at the couple’s seaside home and moved on to a quaint chapel for the ceremony. Formal portraits were done a minute’s walk from Lisa’s family estate in Matunuk which also happened to be a minute’s walk in the other direction to Theater By the Sea. The bridal party dresses were some of the prettiest we’ve seen made even more gorgeous by the amazing bouquets from Weedweavers held in front of them. The weather was exceptionally warm for late spring at the seaside which allowed the sides of the tent to be open. Warm ocean breezes floated in as pretty light from the sunset highlighted the styling inside. Everything about this day was beachy and natural, just like Lisa and Steve.
