Regatta Place was the last stop on our journey with Kathleen and Liam and what a stop it was! We first popped in to see the guys who were looking mighty dapper in their J.Crew suits. Liam’s suit was slightly lighter which made our handsome groom stand out as the man of the hour. Across the street, Kathleen was an absolute beauty in her strapless Allure Bridal gown and her wedding day glow was enhanced by the ever talented Aline Sarkis Beauty. Toni Chandler delivered the most delicious florals that perfectly complimented the stunning grey J.Crew styling of the bridal party. After a touching ceremony at Our Lady of Mercy on the Salve Regina campus we walked over to Ochre Court for some formal portraits. Newport is stunning but this spot really takes the cake. It’s way up there on our list of favorite places. We then followed the trolly over to Liam’s alma mater, St. George’s, where we learned he was quite the hockey star back in high school! After some formals on the stunning grounds we made our way to Regatta Place where the tent was a vision in white and silver. Tables were adorned with breathtaking floral centerpieces, lanterns, and candles in mercury glass vessels which sat atop luxurious linens provided by Rentals Unlimited. A silver and white candy bar had mouths watering along with a scrumptious looking dessert table on which the highlight was an elegant cake by Sin Bakery.  Heartfelt speeches from family and friends began the night and after a delicious sit down dinner the real party began. The dance floor was instantly packed and wild! Guests were running between the bar, dance floor, and our brand new, super fun photo booth! It was truly our pleasure to be a part of this wedding journey. Our hearts were warmed at the end of the night when Kathleen and Liam told us that we are thier photographers for life. What a treat it will be to see and capture all of the goodness that is sure to come to these beautiful people.

We could just gush all over this wedding. We could tell you how amazing Heather and Alex are, how loving their families are, how both M’s teared up during the ceremony because the beautiful love this couple shares is palpable. Watching fun loving Alex become so serious and emotional at the church would melt anyone’s heart.  We could go on and tell you how we’ve never laughed so hard at a wedding. Alex has two brothers and the relationship they share is enviable to anyone with children, notably someone with three boys (Marisa!). We could tell you that Regatta Place was beyond perfect… the weather, the gorgeous decor courtesy of Flowerthyme , the impossibly attractive guests, a dance floor that wouldn’t quit all night with World Premiere Band keeping the party going. Heather was a shining light of beauty.  With makeup by Aline Sarkis Beauty, hair by Jennifer Gilbert and the perfect dress Heather was truly a breathtaking bride.  Alex, who up until this past Valentines Day had shoulder length hair, was as dapper as Don Draper. We could go on and on but let’s let these images tell you the story of their day. If a picture is worth a thousand words then we’ve got about a million words for you. We love you Heather and Alex!!

Lauren and Maty. These two names sound so good together. This couple embodies why what we do is so much more than a job. Our first meeting together lasted over and hour and a half and that’s where our love story begins. Our engagement session was awesome. It was then that we noticed that Lauren has a striking resemblance to Jennifer Garner and also where we met their sweet dog, Soco. The wedding day was a whirlwind of laughter, partying, and celebration. Regatta Place hosted beautiful summer evening ceremony followed by a tented reception featuring classic hits performed by Nasty Habits. This was also where we saw perhaps the most memorable wedding cake of the year, a donut cake by Allie’s Donuts in the shape of Lauren and Maty & Soco! Surrounded by six dozen of Allie’s famous donuts, this was the perfect dessert table for a Rhode Island based wedding. By this point we were completed committed to Lauren and Maty. Just when we thought we were totally smitten our love deepened. We learned during the best man’s toast that Maty was a bone marrow donor, not for someone he knows, because he is a caring and selfless person. The party flowed onto the docks throughout the night with the lights of Newport twinkling on the ocean. The joy these two share is infectious and we wish them all of the happiness in the world. XOXO
