By now we are all familiar with the traditional wedding vows…for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and health. Couples exchange these words expecting challenges down the road, but way down the road when they are older and time has given them the experience to handle the curve balls that life throws at them. A mere two days before their wedding planned for May 19th Ronnie fell ill and the wedding had to be postponed. Melissa was the picture of strength, standing by her future husband as he healed and got stronger. Fast forward, 105 days later to the happiest celebration and the most beautiful day at The Atlantic Beach Club! We were so touched that in the chaos of rescheduling their wedding, Melissa and Ronnie were steadfast in keeping us as their photographers. We were more than excited to hear this news, because honestly, we adore them! We felt like old friends after the engagement shoot and we were so happy to be a part of the joy of their big day. It was nonstop fun and we captured every minute of it. They are the kind of couple who whose love and happiness are infectious. Congratulations Melissa and Ronnie! To love and to cherish, from this day forward…

Summertime in Bristol, RI invokes images of 4th of July, sailing, outdoor dining and of course, weddings! Cara and Mark fell in love with Blithewold Mansion for their venue.  They had the most perfect summer day to have a vintage inspired wedding with their big italian families and friends! We love when our clients honor their family members in their styling, sometimes a necklace or earrings.  Cara chose her mother’s veil and it was stunning!  One of the bridesmaids even commented that she looked “so italian”! Guests enjoyed cocktails on the lawn overlooking the ocean, croquet was played, and the amazing gardens were explored. After the first dance (Hotel Yorba by the White Stripes played skillfully by The Goodtime Stringband!) we took Cara and Mark to the gardens where we ventured out and beyond, all the way to the bamboo forest. So much love filled the tent that night, you could hear family speaking Italian, Mark’s father had the dance floor going all night long, and the food! Blackstone Catering did an amazing spread topped off by a stunning cake courtesy of Konditor Meister. We loved being a part of this beautiful day. Best. Job. Ever.

Most likely when you think of Maine visions of lobster, mountains, and hiking come to mind…but this was not the Maine we encountered. Oh no. The setting was the York Harbor Reading Room perched high on a cliff overlooking the Atlantic. Our bride and groom, Emily and Trevor, looked as if they were the latest Kennedy couple to wed. No kidding, Trevor kept hearing it all day! The bridal party was so much fun and we even welcomed the teasing from some punk groomsmen (just kidding, but we are getting the last word.  That means we officially win!  YES!!). Every signal bit of this wedding was quintessential New England, from the quaint white chapel, to the buoy covered shack, to the cliff walk with a breathtaking sunset. This was the first wedding of the season for The Reading Room and it will be a tough one to follow. If you don’t believe us, Google it!… Right, Trevor?
