Ampersand!  There I said it.  Ampersand, ampersand.  I feel like we’ve been saying that a lot for the past couple of weeks.  Things like “Holly and Jon are bringing an ampersand to the engagement shoot” or “That ampersand is going to be so cute in the pictures!”.  For those of you who haven’t googled it yet an ampersand is this – &.  Holly used two of my favorite web sites to make the ampersand happen – Inspired by Pinterest and ordered it on Etsy (or maybe her sister did.  Hi, Kelly!).  Since Holly and Jon met at University of Rhode Island we decided it would be the perfect spot for the engagement session. After doing lots of pictures on the quad we went to Narragansett for some beachy photos. We had such a great time taking photos of Holly and Jon with and without the ampersand.  Can not wait for their wintery wedding next January at the Atlantic Beach Club in Newport…  Ampersand!

The bride and the groom definitely set the tone for their reception.  Matt and Maura were there to have a good time and it made for fun filled party.  If there was music playing they were on the floor dancing with all of their family and friends.  Marisa and I had to stop ourselves from joining in.  The gorgeous flower arrangements were done by Jephry Floral Studio.  Sugar Babies from Boston kept the dance floor packed all night!  They played so many different songs from Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zero’s “Home” to the theme song from the Fresh Prince of Bel Air.

People always make a big deal about foliage in the fall, but what about spring!?  I think it is such an amazing time of year.  All of the plants and trees come back to life after a cold winter.  Blooming trees are so beautiful.  When we stopped at our first location for photos Maura said “It’s so green.  I love it!”  Ditto!  Of course we had to get some ocean pictures because what is Newport without the ocean?  Then it was back to the Hyatt for family and wedding party.  The day went so smoothly with the help of wedding planner extroidinaire, Kristen Love.  Thanks for all your organizing expertise, Kristen!
