When people think of a wedding in New England they immediately envision the summer or spring time, but there is something about a winter wedding that we love.  Yes, it’s cold, but it gives a different look and feel to the photos.  We had the pleasure of documenting Holly and Jon’s winter wedding at the Atlantic Beach Club in Newport, RI.  What a beautiful location any time of year!  As I mentioned it does get a little cold in the winter months.  To keep the bridal party and family warm for photos our smart bride and groom made arrangements for us to do formals at the Newport Art Museum.  If it was warm out we wouldn’t have had the opportunity to take pictures in such a beautiful building!  It has been a bit of a mild winter (knock on wood) so we were able to get out there on the beach for some shots.  The colors for the wedding were pink and black, always an elegant combination.  The centerpieces were made by Holly with the help of friends and family.  Everything was made to look frosted over to keep with that winter feeling.  Clockwork was on hand and had everyone dancing all night long!  Our favorite part of the day?  Getting ready.  Holly was so emotional when she put on her dress that we were tearing up as well.  I actually cried going through some of the photos.  Seeing all that love and emotion is part of the reason we love our jobs.

Abby and Andy have a special place in their hearts for the Boston Public Library. We were beyond thrilled when they suggested we take their engagement photos there. It is such a gorgeous building and there are so many great spots for photos. This was the quietest engagement session we’ve ever done!  Since the library was open for business we had to keep our big mouths shut.  Not an easy task, but we were successful.  We communicated with Abby and Andy through lots of whispers and crazy hand gestures.  When were done at the library we walked over to the Commons.  The sun was about to disappear behind the buildings.  We literally chased that gorgeous light around the park.  The result was well worth it!

Weddings are usually about a couple, two people joining as one. Ryan and Rachel brought their family together when they got married on New Year’s Eve. Their two year old, Liam, and Rachel’s daughter, Ava, were there to walk their parents down the aisle. The setting for this intimate affair was the historical Slater Mill in Pawtucket, RI. It was a beautiful spot and a photographer’s dream. Rachel said that her and Ryan were like the gears of a machine, two opposites filling in each other’s voids. There is strength in the differences and comfort where they overlap… (I did steal that from a song. I’m not that poetic). We had a blast taking photos with Ryan and Rachel. They are two of the nicest people you’ll ever meet. This truly was a great way for us to end the year.
