They met at a bar called Snickers. Years later they married at Belle Mer. Along the way Jen and John had many adventures and fell madly in love with each other. Their wedding day invoked the beauty, romance and happiness that these two share.  Jaime at Eventfully Planned made sure that no detail was left unattended which made our job that much easier. It also didn’t hurt that the talented makeup artists at Jennie Kay Beauty transformed Jen into the most beautiful Disney Princess. We are sure this isn’t the look Jen went into her makeup trial asking for but take a look at this stunning beauty and tell us that she’s not the fairest of them all! Some people say that all the groom has to do is show up on the wedding day, not THIS groom! John was just as involved as Jen. He knew the timeline by heart and kept us all on track and in stitches. This guy is truly the life of the party and so, so nice.

Before we even arrived at Belle Mer we traveled all around Newport with the talented David Bettencourt shooting video.  Beginning at the Mill Street Inn, a former nineteenth century mill that combines historic charm with today’s modern luxuries, we captured the delicate details of Jen’s styling. John was a few suites away and we witnessed a sweet exchange of gifts between the bride and groom. We took a quick walk over to the grounds of Trinity Church for a first look and some formal portraits with the wedding party and then moved on to Ochre Court at Salve Regina. This stunning building serves as the administration building for the university but it’s like no administration building you’ve ever been to. Nestled among the incredible mansions of Newport’s Bellevue Avenue, Ochre Court was once the summer residence of a prominent New York banker. With hushed tones John and Jen stole some quiet moments and a private dance surrounded by details inspired by French Gothic chateaux and churches.

Next was Belle Mere for the ceremony with the sea and the Newport Bridge as the backdrop. Guests are always blown away by this venue. It’s absolutely breathtaking. Blooms by Broadway Florist enhanced the beauty of the cocktail hour and reception while the Boston Common Band had all of the guests dancing and partying into the night. To say we like this couple would be and understatement. We LOVE this couple!!

We first experienced the sweet love between Jenica and Angus during their engagement session on a warm spring morning on the east side of Providence. When we met them again on their wedding day it was a snowy winter wonderland at Bittersweet Farm in Westport. Jenica was a vision in her embellished sheath gown, vintage stole, fascinator & blue shoes. Angus was extremely dapper in his sharp suit and newly grown beard. The entire focus of the day was on this lovely couple. They even walked each other down the isle to “their song”, Swept Away by the Avett Brothers. From start to finish this day embodied the words of this song so we will leave you with these lyrics from the heart…
“Well life is ever changing
But I will always find a constant
And comfort in your love
With your heart my soul is bound
And as we dance I know
That heaven will be found”.

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
