There is no place in RI that says summer to me like Newport.  Shooting weddings has made me realize that us Rhode Islanders take it for granted sometimes.  Like Mike and Yineth a lot of our clients come to Newport for their destination wedding.  Their guests are always in awe of this town!  It doesn’t hurt that they are spending part of their visit in unreal locations like Belle Mer!  What a treat!  The staff there really know how to throw a top notch party which was perfect for Mike and Yineth.  These two celebrated their marriage in style!  Yineth wore a Carolina Herrera dress and veil for her wedding day.  It was absolutely stunning!  You have to love a lady that starts the day off in Louboutin’s and changes into a second pair of designer heels.  They also hired RI’s best vendors.  Stoneblossom outdid themselves for this one.  All the orchids!  It was gorgeous!  Yineth’s orchid bouquet was a modern twist on the classic cascading bouquet.  One of our faves, Victor Events, was there to keep the dancing going all night!  This wedding was actually the last one we shot in a triple wedding weekend.  The people, decor, and overall fun of this day really gave us life!  When you do what you love it’s never work!

Sixty-one years ago JFK and Jacqueline Bouvier were married at St. Mary’s Church in Newport RI. But this particular day in September belonged solely to Jenn and Kevin. A gorgeous sunlit day provided the perfect setting for a wedding. The ladies enjoyed the beauty of 41 North for their final getting ready touches while the men suited up down the street. Jenn was glowing in her strapless Musette gown with a delicate, lace capped sleeve top. The ceremony was absolutely beautiful. To be in a place with so much history was a treat to all and in spite of the grand scale of the church itself the gathering felt very intimate and personal. After the church we made a few stops around Newport for some formal portraits. A lovely park, Ochre Court and Bowen’s Wharf made for some lighthearted moments and a giant orange balloon even made its way into some pictures adding to the lighthearted vibe already in place. A cocktail hour and reception at the Newport Yachting Center followed at which guests enjoyed the breathtaking sunset that Newport shows off so well. As usual, Victor Events had the crowd dancing before dinner was even served! Jenn and Kevin entered the room and shared a moving choreographed first dance that did not appear choreographed at all. These two love to dance and twirl and they do it with such style that it makes you fall in love with them. It was such a treat to be a part of this wonderful day!

We love Margeaux and Kevin! From her winning smile to his quiet observances these two will forever be dear to our hearts. We kicked off 2014 with this gorgeous winter wedding. Our couple chose to go the traditional route and see each other first on the isle of the Seekonk Congregational Church. Many tears of happiness were wiped away in the pews. We then headed to the snow lined streets of Downtown Providence which created a perfect background for the black and white styling of the wedding party. Our hearts were filled with warmth but that’s about it. It was FREEZING! Thankfully all involved were good sports and all around super fun people. Everyone obliged and helped create fantastic memories with Margeaux and Kevin. The Providence Public Library was stunning as ever. Victor Events provided some killer uplighting and even had people dancing before dinner. Victor never disappoints and always goes above and beyond! (plus he’s really nice and gives out free hugs) Russell Morin served an amazing feast and were a pleasure to work with as usual. An impressive cake created by Bake. Eat. Love. topped off the culinary portion of the evening and the guests danced into the night. As cold as it was outside, the love these two share warmed up the library as if it had been summer. Thank you for providing us with an amazing start to an amazing year! XO
