Liz and Leo had a quintessential, classic Rhode Island wedding. A pretty ceremony in a small white chapel, photos by the sea, reception at The Towers in Naragansett and weather that went from sunny and 60 degrees to sideways rain and 45 degree temperatures. It never phased us. There was subtle superhero theme than ran through the wedding complete with a cake styled to resemble Superman’s cape from the Fortress of Solitude and fun superhero props for the photo booth. The groomsmen even wore themed t-shirts under their suits! Tables were decorated with blue mason jars and baby’s breath and Plantation Catering served those tables with the most beautiful and delicious food. The entire staff at Plantation treated the guests with so much attention and grace, from the first passed hors d’oeuvre to the last slice of cake, Amanda’s team was at the top of their game. Liz and Leo were so very happy on their big day, they were both smiling nonstop. That’s not to say there weren’t tears because oh there were tears! Throughout the night if you looked at the right person you’d see them wiping away tears of joy. As the waves crashed on the shore outside family and friends celebrated the union of this happy couple. It was a super day!

There are certain details you hope that will go your way the week before your wedding. Sarah had a sizable wish list that she hoped would happen.  Most of them had to do with baseball.  Sarah works for Major League Baseball so the wedding was planned to happen the weekend after the World Series if it went a full seven games.  Sarah wished for the Red Sox to be in the world series AND for them to win it in Boston (so she didn’t have to fly back to RI a day or two before the wedding).  And that is exactly how it went down!  She also wanted a nice, warm autumn day for the wedding.  That’s a tall order for early November in New England.  Fortunately that’s exactly what happened!  The weather was gorgeous, they were there to see the Sox win it at home, Jim did shots with the Dropkick Murphy’s. All of this was followed by an amazing two week honeymoon in Hawaii.  People joke that once you get married “it’s all down hill from here”.  Sarah and Jim told us that for them this really is true because how could they top the weeks leading up to the wedding or the honeymoon?  We had the pleasure of doing an epic engagement session with these guys in Newport.  This is when the M’s developed our huge crush on Sarah and Jim.  On the wedding day we fell in love.  Not only are they amazing, but their family and friends were just as friendly and fun.  Have you met Jim’s cousin, Bobby?!  (haha!!!)  Studio 539 created gorgeous tablescapes with succulents in birch pots that matched the rustic feel of Squantum Association.  Sarah looked stunning in her Dennis Basso dress from Kleinfeld’s and a beautiful handmade birdcage veil by Satya Twena.  We can’t forget the shoes…  Killer wedges by none other than Jimmy Choo.  We wanted to steal them but we controlled ourselves.  The M’s had the photo booth up and it was rockin’ all night!!  One of the reason we love our jobs is that we get to do events like this and meet people like Sarah and Jim.  We will see you next month when we are in Brooklyn!

We met Autumn at her hotel room for some pre-ceremony photos. When we saw that the bridesmaids’s gifts were flasks we knew we were in for a good time! This was a high energy bunch, lots of laughter and joking around. Once Autumn had her beautiful princess dress on we drove over to Colt State Park for her first look with Paul. The spot we chose was magical and right next to the parking lot! Sometimes the most beautiful things are right in front of our eyes, we simply have to look a little harder to find them. We had a lovely first look followed by lots of fun pictures with the bridal party. The ladies’ navy blue dresses and hot pink accented flowers popped against the autumn (season not bride!) landscape. We managed to get every bit of New England in there, fallen leaves, stone walls, old wooden fences, and ocean! We are just that good. After an intimate ceremony the wedding party and guests mingled on the lawn of the Wannamiosett Country Club. Once cocktail hour was over everyone was invited inside for dinner and dancing courtesy of the very talented Sue from Moondance Productions. The dance floor was instantly jumping. Sue played a wide variety of selections from classic to contemporary to Polish favorites that had Paul’s entire family dancing. This was a fabulous Autum wedding!
