Lauren & Donovan are Getting Hitched!

What a nice surprise that little thunderstorm was this afternoon!  It was also a nice surprise when we got to Providence and the light was wonderful for Lauren and Donovan’s engagement shoot!  They are getting married next month and I am totally looking forward to it!  These guys were a ton of fun and we got a lot of great shots.  I loved the outfits and the college jersey’s!  Lauren is a girl close to my heart with her field hockey jersey!  Swoon – I love that sport!  And Donovan must have been quite the heart-breaker in college wearing that jersey around campus!  LOL – enjoy!

Congrats Matt & Jill!

Matt and Jill got hitched… and it was fabulous!  These two looked smashing on this nice sunny, Friday evening down in Narragansett, RI at the Point Judith Lighthouse.  Their closest friends and family surrounded them on this beautiful day.  We had fun getting photos around the lighthouse with Jill’s awesome dress and Matt’s smashing groom-wear!  They also had the cutest lil cupcakes to match their nautical themed cake by Sin Desserts.   Stay tuned in a few weeks for Matt and Jill’s colorful Trash the Dress session!  Hope AK is treating you well guys!
Enjoy!

Congrats Sue & Trevor!!

Hello Summer!  What a day!  Got a lil beach action in today – yum!

Last month Sue and Trevor tied the knot (you  may recall Sue and Trevor’s engagement session)!  Sue and I used to play field hockey and track for good ol’ SHS!  The Glory Days!  lol now here she is all grown up and a beautiful bride!  What a fun wedding this was!  From the horse and carriage to the awesome guests and even the color celebratory flags at Bristol Yacht Club!  The ceremony took place at Colt State Park and the reception was a quick stop away at the BYC.  It was a cloudy day but no rain, thankfully!  Sue and Trevor really are blessed to have been surrounded by this fabulous group of friends and family!  So I’ll stop talking your ear off… enjoy!

The FLY Foundation Cocktail Party

A few months ago I was asked to photograph a wonderful event.  The FLY Foundation is a non-profit, standing for financial lift for young adults with cancer.  It was started by Julia after her battle with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma to help other young adults (19-39) with the financial burden of cancer and it’s tolls.  In order to continue helping this unique group of individuals, the FLY foundation held a summer-time cocktail party in Bristol Harbor in Bristol, RI.  It was held under the  Herreshoff Waterfront Tent and turn out was amazing.  Hundreds of supporters purchased tickets, took a ride on the  Kestrel, and bid on silent auction items during this wonderful event.  I was truly honored to be the photographer for this event… so enjoy!

Pre-congrats to Sue & Trevor!

Welcome back noble blog followers!  It’s Monday!  And what’s better on a Monday then some engagement photos!  And these photos are special because Sue and Trevor are getting hitched on Sunday!  We spent a few hours at Colt State Park last week, with the lovely Heidi-Lyn to help me out, and got some great shots!  The park was lovely as usual… minus the wind.  It was QUITE windy and fingers are crossed that it won’t be as crazy on Sunday for the wedding. Sue and I go back… to high school!  I do believe we were part of the same Girls Spring Track EAC Championship team…  Sue as distance and me as sprinter… ah, the glory days.  Sigh.  But, here we are today and I get to be Sue and Trevor’s wedding photographer next weekend – and that’s exciting!  It was also be my first wedding using my new Pocket Wizards!  Sad, but true.  So I am super excited for Sunday!  But, let’s not get ahead of our selves… here are some photos of the spouses-to-be… enjoy!

Welcome back!  I expect to be posting quite a bit in the next few months!  Click on the subscribe button (in the footer) to get the updates hot off the press… er internet???

Anyhow – a big congratulations to Colleen and Brian on their beautiful wedding a few weeks ago.  This date holds a special place for me, as April 16th was also my wedding date!  Oddly enough, Colleen and Brian had the EXACT kind of day it was a year ago!  Cold, cloudy, windy, and later on?  Rain.  But so far it’s been lucky for me, and hopefully lucky for Colleen and Brian too!  What a fun wedding!  The bridesmaids and groomsmen were awesome and their support for this beautiful couple was amazing!  And what a fun wedding!  The guests tore up the dance floor!  What a great group of family and friends that came out to support the bride and groom.  So without further adieu here are the lovely Colleen and Brian!

Congrats Stephanie & Neil!

My last wedding of the 2010 season was for Stephanie and Neil at Independence Harbor in Assonet and it was festive!  I.H. was decorated for the holidays and made for a beautiful setting.  It was a cold November day and the ceremony was in the early evening.  Everything was gorgeous including the bride and groom – wow.  The vineyard theme was elegant, the speeches and toasts were light and heartfelt, and crowd was full of dancing machines!  So enjoy these photos and have a great holiday!  Congrats Stephanie and Neil!
