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!

FIRST CHECK OUT HER RING SHOTS!!!! MEG IS MY DETAIL DIVA! SHE ROCKS DETAILS!

Gorgeous!!! Love that vineyard... (and I need me some "grapes" shots this summer for some portfolio/logo-ish stuff so it's good to see that the grapes are finally getting big enough! =) )

They're just too cute...

Awesome shoot! They are one fine-looking couple and I love how you framed the shots with the leaves in the foreground. Meg does rock the details! Great stuff, girls!

Nikki my love! I am so glad it worked out for you to photograph Bri and Kris' Wedding. I always enjoy peeking in on your blog to catch up on your latest work and these engagement pics are awesome. I love the barrel and the leg kicked up as well. You are a genius, I've always known :)

hope all else is well (seems it is) see you soon.
