After freezing our butts off at Allie and Blake’s engagement session, we all were thrilled that they had an unseasonably warm, 70-degree November wedding day in Cape Cod!

This Cape Cod wedding was so much fun, and not only because the warmth between the bride and groom rivaled the incredible warmth of the day. We also shot Blake’s sister’s wedding and his cousin’s wedding, and we were so excited to see so many familiar faces!

The expert planning by Christina and Jenn of Whitney Events was evident in all the wedding details, from the bubbles that followed the bride and groom from the ceremony site to the delicate greenery that covered the reception tables to the blue glassware that echoed the blue in the bride’s bouquet, the bridesmaid dresses and the water beyond the Woods Hole Golf Club reception site. As photographers, we adore all those little touches that make a wedding truly stand out!

The whole wedding party prepped for the ceremony at the nearby Coonamessett Inn, and we loved photographing Allie as she got ready to put on her next-level gorgeous wedding dress. Her veil with all the pearls sewn into it was just perfect. And can we talk about her reception dress? She couldn’t have worn anything better on the dance floor, which was out of control.

Blake and Allie, please call us when another cousin or sibling gets married! Until then, enjoy your wedded life together. We were so happy to see it start.

It was a hot day for a wedding in Bristol, RI! The humidity level was 98%… Ninety. Eight. Percent! It was moist out there. I’m sorry. I know that everyone hates that word but it was moist. Our bride and groom, Taylor and Clark, did not help the situation being so damn hot themselves. We had to be quick when taking the formal photos outside since everyone was literally melting! Thankfully Blithewold has a lot shaded areas for photos but who am I kidding? Shade didn’t help anyone! Did I mention it was hot?

Taylor and Clark are a part of an elite group of people that we have been so fortunate to meet through this crazy journey as wedding photographers. It all started with our friends, Colleen and John. They got married and we met Colleen’s cousin, Trey, who married Ian. We shot their wedding and met Taylor and Clark. Taylor and Clark hired us for their wedding (obviously) and while we were there we met Lily and Zach AND Michaila and Chris whose weddings we will be shooting this year. Katie and Josh who had already hired us for their wedding were also in attendance. AND bringing it full circle we just got back from doing Colleen’s brother’s engagement session in Brooklyn. Shout out to Blake and Allie! So as you can see this couple and this group mean a lot to us. The feeling seems to be mutual. Legends Only!

Taylor and Clark had originally scheduled their wedding for August of 2020. Since Covid was still making a mess of things they made the hard decision to postpone to 2021. Last year I was on the phone with a Mother of the Bride. She told me she was always trying to find her CSL’s, Covid Silver Linings. This idea stuck with me. The pandemic has not been fun for anyone so it’s not always easy to see the good things that happened as a result. That is why it’s important to find some positives to keep yourself going. One CSL at the wedding was a new addition added to the guest list – Taylor and Clark’s pandemic puppy, Franklin! Franklin didn’t stay very long but he was able to strike a pose in his floral collar before he was whisked away. Another CSL… Taylor’s childhood swing set was refurbished into a their ceremony arch. I believe the whole family including Clark helped put it together during lockdown which makes it a thousand times more special.

We had the best time at Chelsea and Jim’s Belle Mer wedding! They are such a happy couple and Chelsea was the most radiant bride. She was flashing her gorgeous dimples all day! The only person at the wedding who could possibly have overshadowed her was her precious little ring bearer who nailed every shot we put him in.

We got a great vibe going with Chelsea and Jim when we did their engagement session, so photographing their wedding was like hanging out with old friends. And we were so happy to be back at Belle Mer Newport. We’ve photographed a lot of weddings there and are always impressed with them — especially their planners who work so hard to make everything look effortless. The venue was perfectly complemented by the flowers by Greenlion Designs, another one of our faves. Her designs are so unfussy and perfectly imperfect, and she gives off this vibe like she spends her days frolicking in fields of flowers. We love her!

Chelsea and Jim, thanks for making us part of your day. We hope your life together is as full of dancing and laughter as your wedding!
