Here is a design preview of Kristel & Silas’ 11×14 vertical album with a full photo cover! I will share a photo of the real thing when it arrives!

September was the BUSIEST month of the entire wedding season, not just for me, but everyone in the wedding business. Here is a preview of my gorgeous brides who were married in September:

Tina & Brian at Regatta Place, Newport

Meaghan & Rudy at Astor’s Beechwood Mansion, Newport

Sarah & Ben at the Hotel Viking, Newport

Nicole & Dave at the Hotel Viking, Newport (yep! At the Viking 2 days in a row!)

Sara & PJ at the Highland Country Club, MA

Angela & Kevin at OceanCliff Resort, Newport

Kristel and Silas invited me to photograph their beautiful and fun wedding at Astor’s Beechwood. I loved Kristel’s vision for the ballroom. There was great details, flowers and candles everywhere! Kristel is so creative and designed her own menu cards, invitations & programs. Check them out! They are amazing! What an inspiration. We had a great time! I’m excited to start work on their album.

Kristel’s mom helping her with jewelry. I couldn’t get enough of Kristel’s parents, as you will see as we go on….

I love damask prints! I found this pretty print on wrapping paper on a gift in the hotel room.

“Becoming THE BRIDE”


Kristel’s dad seeing her for the first time. Beautiful moment!

KRISTEL HAS SUCH BEAUTIFUL, EXPRESSIVE EYES!

Silas, our fun loving groom!

Pretty details. Beautiful work from Stoneblossom, as always!

Kristel worked on all the programs, menu cards and invitations herself! Silas toasted his beautiful bride and told a story about Kristel driving 2 hours to the next Michael’s location when the local store ran out of her teal paper. That’s dedication!




UPLIGHTING!

Kristel’s beautiful invitations! What great attention to detail!

I’m pretty sure Kristel made the placecards too….so many beautiful paper details!

Amber uplighting looks gorgeous in the vintage Astor’s Beechwood Ballroom!



Oh Stoneblossom….how I love your work!!

Kristel’s menu cards. The gold accents on the cake looked stunning with the amber uplighting and the golden detailing in the ceiling. Kristel’s vision for the room was just so lovely.

The big finish to their choreographed first dance!

Kristel’s sweetie-pie parents….I loved photographing them!!!! Their love and chemistry just shines through the photograph.


A great toast to the couple by Kristel’s dad!

Kristel’s parents again….I told you I couldn’t get enough of them.

Rebecca & Michael were married at Astor’s Beechwood Mansion. They got great weather! April is so hit or miss in Newport, so I was thrilled!! Rebecca was a gorgeous bride….cute little bride doll figure, big blue eyes, dewy flawless skin, perfect ivory mermaid dress, cathedral veil and peep-toe shoes!!! She was like my bride model. I could have photographed her for 4 hours straight. Here are some preview pictures!

Gorgeous couple….Rebecca has beautiful bone-structure.

A beautiful spring day in Newport

The underside of Rebecca’s gorgeous mermaid gown. Love the lines!

Look at the bias-cut on the back of the dress…great detail!

I loved the color version overlooking the ocean view, so I posted both of them.


Big, beautiful blue eyes!

Juicy cross lighting upstairs at Beechwood

Our groom in my favorite room at the mansion before the ceremony

Rebecca’s grand entrance with great backlight…it gave her a heavenly glow

A great moment when Rebecca’s dad gave her away


Michael saying vows

I literally *gasped* behind my camera when I saw this image before the shutter clicked

If you are one of my brides and considering a cathedral length veil….DO IT, DO IT! I can create such amazing imagery for you if wear one!!!


Like I said, Rebecca was a little bride doll. Tell me her dress isn’t stunning….!!!! I love the mermaid cut!!! Love it!
