LAURA & MIKE : FOREVER IN LOVE

Where do I start on this post???

Maybe with the heat wave that came through......

the 98 degree weather.......

or how the humidity was super sticky!


Thats right I had the pleasure of photographing Laura & Mike's wedding on July 18th on what has been the hottest,
stickiest day of the wedding season yet!!!!!!!

The day started off so relaxed as Laura was getting ready. Laura was shining with a smile ear to ear and so excited
to be marrying Mike on this day!

Her dress was simply amazing! Lace head to toe but so elegant. She even completed the look with her mother's veil
from her wedding day! It just added the right touch!

Here is Laura admiring her wedding dress:



Laura also had the cutest flower girl and ring bearer. These little tikes are
very special to Laura. And guess what the little tikes Mom I went to high school with! It is always fun catching up!

Here are some of the details of the day!



I will have to say Laura looked smashing! Elegance, beauty and a killer dress!






Not to mention her girls looked amazing too!



and how about those groomsmen!




Now I knew before the photos that Mike was going to be eager to be partying and celebrating with they guys. So I knew I had nothing but a bit of time with him. And not to mention the heat that was making everyone antsy! So I have to say a BIG THANK YOU to Mike for giving me the time for these next hot photos!

THANK YOU MIKE!!!!!




Thank you Laura and Mike for having us be a special part of your day!

CAROLINE & KEIRA : SISTERS

WELCOME CAROLINE!

Thats what big sister Keira said to 6 week old Caroline.

Susan called me a couple of weeks ago asking about newborn photos. When I told her about my on location service she was sooooooo excited and hit me up for a date.

Little did I know when i got to the house Susan had an idea all of her own. As soon as I entered she started to laugh as I see her pull out an old magazine of Brooke Shields. I started to crack up and all Susan said was "Do you think we can try this? Can I be Brooke Shields?"

Of course I said YEAH, let's make you Brooke!!!!!

So here is Brooke:



Meet Keira


Meet Caroline


When I stepped into the nursery I was blown away the colors were so beautiful and the chair .... oh the chair!

KRISTEN & BRIAN : IN LOVE

Last weekend was a whirlwind of events with everything from weddings to engagements and portraits in between.

I think this engagement session has been one of my favorites yet this year!

I met Kristen through a friend of mine Lissa last October at the photo expo in NYC. At that time Kristin was in the process of moving to Rhode Island and had mentioned that she was a photographer herself! Little did I know about 8 months later she would be calling me about her wedding to Brian! How exciting! I always feel the greatest compliment you could get is another photographer hiring you for their wedding!

So I met with Kristen and Brian and was super excited about their wedding. First off it is at an amazing mansion in Bristol, RI. The Blithewold Mansion! It is right on the water, with amazing gardens and a spectacular sunset view! And the Mansion itself is amazing! I cannot wait til next July!!!!

Okay off track a bit!

So last Saturday afternoon Meg and I hopped into the car and headed towards Newport to the Greenvale Winery! This winery is very small but the people who work there are amazing! They are so nice and told us to do whatever we want to! My head started to spin! WHATEVER WE WANT TO DO YEAH BABY!!!!!

I will have to say Meg totally rocked this! Check out some of her shots!

Meg caught this moment in time. It is such an emotional hug....



OH MY.... sniffle sniffle....I LOVE this moment! As Jenny's dad gave her away she broke down into tears.

The architecture at Trinity is amazing by the chapel. The arches and light coming in is a photographers dream!
