For you all of you Instagram users this blog post is a #latergram.  Or maybe it’s Throw Back Sunday?  Whatever the case may be we did an engagement session redux for Halle and Ed back in May.  Our first engagement session took place at World’s End in Massachusetts.  Shortly after the session Ed decided to lose 20 lbs!  We decided to do a quick second session for these guys in honor of Ed looking good!  Usually they refer to sequels as being bigger, faster and better than the original.  In our case bigger doesn’t fit, BUT better does.  We thought the first session was good, but this one tops it for sure!

How can we even begin to describe Kristen and Guy’s wedding? How?! It was the perfect combination of fun, love, quirkiness, Rhode Island and so much more!  Kristen is one of the owners of Luniac Glamour in East Greenwich so style and beautiful things are part of her job.  We started the day at Nylo for getting ready shots and some touching yet swanky first look photos.  The Temple of Music in Roger Williams Park was the setting for their ceremony. While it was super windy we thought it made for great photography. (We can find the silver lining in anything!) The newlyweds took off for their reception at Vanity in a vintage, baby blue Volkswagen Bug, complete with a just married sign and decoupaged, yes decoupaged, cans attached at the back. A few rain showers trickled in but that was just so a rainbow could appear over Providence for Kristen and Guy. This was the very first wedding reception at Vanity and the staff was amazing. A table with chocolate covered pretzel “cigars” and candy cigarettes greeted guests. The venue’s speakeasy theme suited the wedding styling perfectly, not to mention the signature cocktail appropriately named Love Potion, which was freshly made for each guest who ordered it. Every vendor, from the dress maker, to the bride and groom’s custom rings (hello, fingerprints engraved on each one?!), right down to us M’s was from right here in Rhode Island. Turns out big things do come in small packages! Enjoy!

Katie and Tom told us that they have about 4 pictures of themselves together. How is it that two super attractive people don’t have thousands of photos of themselves!? We were more than happy to help them out with that problem. We met at Roger Williams Park on a beautiful fall day. It doesn’t get any better than this. The colors were gorgeous! Katie was a good listener and brought a little outfit change for the session. We are still in a state of sweater envy. I want that grey cardigan, Katie! Can’t wait for the big day next September at Bittersweet Farm!
