Monique and Steve are getting married next year at the Providence Biltmore. We had a great time walking around Newport and playing with parasols at the beach. (which turned into sails because the beach was so windy!) I thought skinny-minny Monique was going to be swept off the beach, but she held on tight and we got some great images!





Leanne & Michael are getting married next year at OceanCliff! Leanne told me some great stories about Salve Regina’s Orche Court because she is SRU Alum. I love history, so I loved listening to Leanne’s stories! Thanks for being fun!





I love engagement sessions! Kathryn & Chris are currently living in Arizona, but have roots in RI. I wanted to give them that ‘Rhode Island’ look to take back to Arizona. I’m excited about their wedding this fall! We’re going to have so much fun!

Here’s what Kathryn had to say when I sent her the link to her online gallery this afternoon:

“Thank you so much for the beautiful pictures. I received your email on my blackberry while standing at the elevator bay as I was leaving work. Rather than wait until I got home, I marched right back to my office, called Chris and my parents, and looked at the pictures you sent. I had a couple co-workers peeking in too! The pictures were definitely worth the extra time spent in the office today!

The pictures are perfect! From the formals to the playful shots, they really capture who we are. Thank you so much for your work - everyone loves the pictures, and as this is such an important element of the wedding to us, we are so glad to know you are our wedding photographer!”



You know I love fun shoes!!!!!!



I love this Newport-y doorway.






Liz and Ian are getting married in just a few short days, so you’ll be seeing more of them shortly! We went to some places that are particularly special to them. I love when we go some place that means something to the couple. I especially love it when it’s 2 blocks from my house, LOL. Ian proposed on the pier at the Yachting center! I’m very much loving forward to their wedding. It’s going to be a truly Newport-y, New England-y affair!!

Don’t they look great?!?! Styling!!!

Liz & Ian–Hopefully, we’ll see some funny people on Segways at the wedding to help us reminisce!

Edited to Add: This is what Liz had to say this morning when she saw her pictures!

“These are beyond beautiful. I can’t even tell you how much I love them. I had both moms calling me crying today!”






Kristen is one of my most loyal blog followers. Brian says it’s a big event in their house when a new post goes up! So here you go, Kristen! It’s your turn!!!

Brian also told me that Mr. Herbert (the crazy old guy with the walker on ‘Family Guy’) makes him laugh hysterically–especially the line, “Do you kids want to come in for some cookies & wine???” So I milked that line for everything it was worth. I also came home and downloaded some Mr. Herbert videos on YouTube so I can memorize some new material for Brian when they have their wedding. I’m also working on perfecting the Mr. Herbert voice. My boyfriend, (also a big time Family Guy fan) is my voice coach. LOL.

Here’s what Kristen said when she saw her pictures:

“Thank you so, so very much for these beautiful pictures! You have done such an amazing job of capturing the personality of our relationship. They just get better and better as you scroll through the picture gallery. I couldn’t help but laugh out loud at some of them, knowing what the context of the shots was. :) I especially love the images of Brian laughing.

Your recent blog post is so true. We are both so excited to see you in August and have your documentation of our incredibly special day. We’re thrilled to now know you and are relieved that the only nervousness we’ll feel that day is about walking down the aisle, not how our pictures will turn-out. You are a fabulous person and a talented artist. Thank you!”

Go to your kitchen, fix yourselves some cookies and a glass of wine, and enjoy Kristen & Brian’s engagement pictures!


Look at these hot shoes! All my couples are wearing hot shoes lately, I love it! Brian’s are great too!!! I love the pop of color.


Beautiful! I love this….I love the look at Kristen’s face.
