Lisa and Mike are the kind of couple who compliment each other beautifully. They are both very laid back, very quirky, love to dance, and have deep affection for family and friends. We would say this is not a situation where opposites attract, they seem to have been cut from the same cloth! Lisa is part of the Innovation Team at Alex and Ani. She has amazing ideas and a very cool sense of style so we knew this wedding would be gorgeous. The style at The Alpine Country Club was Romantic Glamour, tables were decorated with huge candelabras in place of floral centerpieces, Flowers By Semia adorned Lisa, her bridesmaids and the flower girls with lush bouquets, and the bride and groom were stunning in Vera Wang. The cutest little flowers girls in the world were a huge part of this wedding, in fact, their dresses were so pretty that all of the grown-up ladies wanted versions for themselves, including us! Along with romantic glamour was a theme of love, friendship, positive energy and family. Congratulations Lisa and Mike, the future is yours!

Once upon a time a wedding comes along that really knocks our socks off. Meet Jay and Alayna! Their story starts with a wedding proposal from Jay who had a pelican trained to carry the engagement ring. Yes, a real live pelican! Alayna is a very talented illustrator and she drew the scene as their Save the Date card. A gorgeous storybook themed wedding at The Glen Manor followed.  Del’s frozen lemonade (original and spiked!) refreshed the guests after the ceremony. Once inside, friends and family were treated to a feast for the eyes. Each table had a different terrarium as the centerpiece, picture books and candles adorned the mantles, and an incredible pelican/storybook cake by Sin Bakery was the focus of everyone’s attention next to the dance floor. Jay had purchased some gorgeous carved animal masks that he thought would go nicely with the wedding theme, so naturally we had to do some fun photos with them in the woods. We went for a nice long walk on the grounds until we stumbled upon a pretty stream. Alayna kicked off her vintage shoes and into the stream they went. It was amazing. Alayna wore her mother’s dress and Jay’s mother’s veil. We felt as if we had stepped back in time. And in a way we did, back in the 90’s Marisa and Jay were buds in college where they shared an affection for indie rock and Mortal Kombat, so being asked to document this beautiful day was extra special. Throughout the evening DJs played all of the couple’s favorite tunes, we were even treated to two piano solos by their good friend Paul. We wish Jay and Alayna much happiness as they live happily ever after…

When we were discussing the engagement shoot with Kate she mentioned that she would like to bring along some props and we were super excited! Props are a fun way to let people know who you are as a couple. They represent your style and sometimes the props even give clues about the wedding decor. Kate outdid herself by hand painting the monogram combining her and Tyler’s initials. It should be mentioned that Kate studies at RISD which explains her amazing sense of style and her many talents. She also handmade the quilt and bunting. The vintage bike is courtesy of her father. The pillows by catstudio pay homage to her home state of Michigan and her current state, Rhode Island. But the best thing Kate brought was her handsome fiancé, Tyler! Blithewold was extra pretty for our session. We were overwhelmed by the gardens and the gorgeous light shining in through the trees. Nothing compares to Blitheworld, right Kate?!
